"The one on one training is AWESOME and it really teaches you how to do Pilates the RIGHT way, instead of being stuck in a class and getting no personal attention. Love it!!"

"I've studied Pilates for 11 years and have had more than 18 instructors in the US, Canada and France, so I know what makes a great teacher. Cassidy Moore, owner of the Body Gallery and my current instructor since December 2008, is one of the very few outstanding teachers I have had the pleasure to work with. Cassidy takes her work seriously. I am interested in the nuances of the Pilates method, not a mindless workout, and she provides the rigor that I require. She is the only teacher I've studied with who methodically builds a session to culminate in an advanced or super-advanced Pilates exercise. She does this by having me perform exercises during the hour that are components of, and lead up to, the "big one". When it is time to perform the advanced move, I understand it in my body and am able to perform with grace, control, and precision. This is the quietest studio I have ever worked out in: there is always jazz, classical or other lovely music in the background, paintings or drawings from up and coming artists on the walls and sunlight streaming in through the curtains. Since there is at most one other trainer working with a client at the same time, one can really concentrate on the work at hand. It is a wonderful space made even more special by the quality of the instruction -- the studio really lives up to its title: The Art of Personalized Pilates."

"I just love The Body Gallery. I look forward to my Monday sessions with Cassidy so much that I schedule my day around my training session. I agree with all the other reviews on the gallery itself. As an aging semi athlete, Cassidy has given me back my body. She has gently but firmly stretched me and encouraged me to a level of flexibility I have not had for years. My coworkers even comment on how great I look after my session. This gallery is one of the best kept secrets in the city"

"I stumbled upon this find with a local school auction win; I had always wanted to try pilate's. In a short series of classes, I felt a noticeable change! With a few more classes, I felt sleeker in my over-40 body! I was amazed at how much fun I was having too! Trusha and Jesse worked me hard while making me smile and laugh as the hour passed. I find myself missing the camaraderie almost as much as the expert instruction. Pilates takes mental energy and the descriptive approaches given and encouragement along the way are best in class! Thank you to Cassidy and her tremendous staff! TRY THEM OUT!"

"One of the best things I did for myself in 2008 was to join the Body Gallery. As an intermediate/advanced level athlete, I needed to challenge my body in ways that I hadn't tried before and I wanted to try Pilates and SO glad I discovered The Body Gallery. I get such a great workout that I'm typically sore for at least 2 days. I've truly noticed the difference in my abs which is always been the hardest part for me to work out -- my core is definitely stronger... I love the overall feeling of my workout -- I feel stronger and toned and definitely am using muscles I never knew I had."

"I have been going to the Body Gallery regularly since October 2007. It is a quiet, serene and cozy studio. The place lives up to its name “The art of Personalized Pilates”. My trainer, Jody, designs each session depending on how my body feels. Some days, I am stiffer (arthritis) and we do more stretching, some days I feel great and she works me out! I always feel like I am her only client, that’s how focused on me she is. As a result of my weekly visits, my body is much stronger, more flexible and looks a lot better. My arms and legs have long, strong muscles, my abs are finally getting strong! I have never liked exercise and now, I cannot live without my Pilates session. I joke that I feel just as good after Pilates than I do after a massage! I highly recommend the Body Gallery to anyone looking for personalized training."

"My boyfriend says my body is much more 'fun to touch' since I've started doing Pilates. The Body Gallery is my secret weapon when I'm in town to stay in great shape."

"I took Pilates in Atlanta for 2 years and 1 year at another SF studio before I was fortunate enough to find the Body Gallery. It is an oasis - the surroundings relaxing and the workouts refreshing and energizing. My instructors are better than I've found anywhere, personalized and specific to what I desire to get out of each session. I am a skier, surfer, and tri-athlete so at times, they are pushing me the distance to train and work parts of my body that need it for these sports. They have also been my champions in getting my strength back after knee surgery last year. My body and my spirit have benefited exponentially through Pilates and I wouldn't trade my instructors, Sonya and Trusha, for anyone. They're both AWESOME, but I think all of the trainers there are wonderful. Cheers to this oasis in the city!"

"I've been a client at the Body Gallery since 2003 and have had great experiences with all their trainers. The studio is a very quiet, calm space and all the trainers really know what they're doing. I had some major dance injuries and Pilates has almost completely eliminated the pain from the injuries."

"This is the first exercise program that I have stayed committed to consistently for over 8 years. I think it is because I really enjoy going. It is both relaxing and firming. I have noticed a big difference in my over all body strength and firmness and have seen an amazing improvement in my posture. Since there is so much stretching with the strengthening I have had no injuries and have been able to stay with it consistently."

"In 2001 I was being treated for a shoulder injury. When the problem didn't respond to either physical therapy or chiropractic my doctor recommended Pilates to strengthen the related muscles. He said that the carefully supervised workouts would help prevent re-injury to the area. Within weeks I noticed improvement and the problem eventually resolved completely. I found that the meditative atmosphere and intelligent instruction at the Body Gallery were just what I needed to recover and enjoy continued training. Pilates has helped me to become stronger and more flexible. I love the sessions."
