Pilates at Play, LLC

It was my HONOR to create a promotional video for this wonderful cooperative that offers pilates, pole dance, and massage! These three women are wonderful powerhouses that know how to make fitness FUN! I could never go anywhere else!! This is a strong, loving community that brings so much joy to my life!

Pilates at Play is the real deal. Trisha is absolutely fabulous. Routines are never the same and she mixes it up with balls, springs, rolls, etc. She is so good at describing the moves with such imagery. It’s fun to see what she comes up with. Whether you’re interested in group mat classes or more private apparatus, this is the place. I have attended for 10 years now and love it! She also always suggests ways to make all levels of ability feel comfortable. The downtown location is wonderful and allows for a convenient way to experience Olympia before or after class for a bite to eat, drinks, and/or shopping. I would highly recommend Pilates at Play to anyone!

My mom first introduced me to Trish's Pilates classes years ago when I was living in China and would come back for a visit in the summer. Since moving to Olympia, I have regularly been attending the mat classes with my mom the last 4 years. I love the way Trish works with us to tailor a package that meets our availability needs. Each class is always different (whether we use the Magic Circle, stretch band, springs, big exercise ball, small ball, sashes, giant rubber bands, or any combo of the previous) and matched to the needs of the individuals signed up. Trish always asks what part of our bodies are sore, sensitive, or need work.nnTypically there are 6 in our group classes but sometimes we get even more attention with 3! I love it for how loosened and relaxed I feel after the hour. I could not keep up with all my hiking if it weren't for Pilates to get my out-of-whack body back in alignment and muscles loosened. While my core still isn't where I'd like it to be (genetics), I have little by little strengthened it and again PIlates works hand-in-hand with my hiking to make a me a stronger hiker with better balance and control on the trail.nnHeather is also great and if Trish has to miss class for whatever reason, she lets you take Heather's classes. I love the bar Pilates as a change from my regular mat classes. You can sign up for a split package where you take classes from both instructors.nnFYI, there are many other types of classes and a few other instructors, but my only experience has been with Trish and Heather.

I love doing Pilates! It is a way to exercise that challenges me but can still be done when not everything moves the way one wants it to. All in all, I love that the studio is downtown, close to where I work; the atmosphere is casual and friendly; the decor gloriously funky; and the workout so satisfying, whether on the apparatus or on the mats.

Trisha is very knowledgeable and very creative. She's been my Pilates instructor for almost 20 years (really?!). If she weren't worth it, I wouldn't drive the dreaded I-5 to get to her.
