This place is amazing! So laid back and comfortable. It feels like everyone is working together, as compared to the generally competitive nature of most gyms. Ama is a great instructor, and will individualize her classes to the level of the students. Great job!

Ama has a way about her that makes you feel good about your body and fitness level. Her instruction is the best I have received. Her ability to tailor her classes to students needs and abilities is AMAzing (get it?). She can effectively teach a challenging class with students of mixed abilities. Ama really cares and takes time to get to know her students and is always very positive. Ama always encourages you to be your best. You are not a random member with a membership number at Rock City Body. You are a welcome guest, always graciously greeted in Ama's intimate, well maintained studio. Rock City Body is certainly number one in my book!

Take one session with Ann Marie and you will understand why she is the best pilates instructor in Boston-bar none. Whether you are taking a private hour on the reformer or one of the drop in mat classes you will get your time and money's worth. Forget posh lighting and pretty curtains -give me an instructor with know-how any day!

Ama is an amazing instructor. The studio itself has a great feel to it. Everyone checks ego at the door and comes together in a supportive and fun atmosphere. It is pilates for the people.

I have been going to Rock City since they were in the "old space", and one thing (among MANY) that is amazing is the CONSISTENCY of atmosphere! Warm, slightly funky (in a gentle way), and SO PERSONAL. The people are VERY real, down-to-earth, and casual. No stuffy "health club procedure" – just people doing what they love and instructing with compassion and interest. No red tape, no fine print – just honest to goodness instruction. There are so many people coming in and out who have a focus on WELLNESS as well as fitness, and also who genuinely care about their lifestyle, as opposed to following trends. Posers are not really found at Rock City Body. And the sense of humor in the space is incredible! YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE A LAUGH! They may take the work seriously, but take themselves lightly. Likewise, it is the ULTIMATE drop in joint – great for folks who just want to bang out one or two impromptu classes. And even though Pilates is their "thing", the yoga, balletone, martial arts and bodybuilding training also kick butt! Rock City Body rocks!

If you want to try pilates but worry about past injuries or limitations in your body, Ama can and will find a way to make this form of exercise work for you.

Hippest, least attitude-filled, lowest-key place you can go in Boston where you can learn from people who know what they're doing. Plus the other folks are totally fun and interesting, too!

The senior instructor, Ama Allara, is very knowledgeable in the field. She understands the student needs, and is very much aware of their strength and weakness. She helps the students to achieve their potential in their own athletic fields.
