Pure Joe studio remains true to the original teachings of Joseph Pilates. Being a Romana's Pilates instructor myself, I also am a devoted client of Pure Joe Studios since 2001. I am excited when I walk into Pure Joe and see clients who have deep core strength and are working from the right muscles rather than incorporating the wrong ones. Where other studios have moved away from keeping Pilates true and pure, Andrea and Michael are steadfast in their pursuit to stay true to Joe's work and to his protege Romana Kryzanowska.

Wonderful, caring instructors who were trained by Joseph Pilates' original studio in New York City. The "Pure Joe" Pilates is the original system whose instructors are trained and certified by his disciples.

The instructors are top-notch and many have phycial therapy backgrounds allowing them to speak to the needs of special-needs clients like myself. I have chronic lower back pain which has been significantly mitigated by a regular pilates routine. Their space is new and fresh as well -- an added bonus.

Instructors are friendly, courteous, and patient with us, clients. Their instructions and encouragement helped me very much. My body now functions much better, e.g., going up and down stairs without pain at knies.

The teaching staff at Pure Joe are amazing at recognizing individual body issues and adjusting the workout for each person. They push you beyond what you think you can do and at the same time leave you feeling nurtured. I have gained so much in flexibility, posture, strength, and body awareness. I feel like I have a brand new body each time I leave!

They are the best! All instructors are well trained and really work with your capabilities. There is a difference in their studio and they maintain high standards and deliver quality in every session. I have been going for 2 years, 3 times a week...the difference it has made in my body is remarkable! I look better, feel better, and am more flexible!

The only genuine Pilates in the DC area. All staff are certified through Romana's Pilates, a real certification that requires 600 hours of observed instruction plus written and practical exams at 200 hour intervals -- unlike the self-proclaimed Pilates teachers who took a weekend seminar. Staff are skilled, smart, observant, and genuinely dedicated to providing appropriate guidance to clients at whatever level of experience they may have. Absolutely the best of its kind in DC.

Pure Joe Pilates has rigorously trained, personable staff. The studio focuses, through careful assessment, on individual health and fitness, not body beautiful stereotypes. All ages and sizes can benefit and are equally welcome.The studio is clean; the mats and equipment are wiped down after each client's use.

Pure Joe's has a great business ethic and it's a fun place to be challenged and nurtured. As a dancer, it's the only place I recommend in this part of the country for body/mind conditioning, regardless of one's ability.

Aside from the fact that they teach Pilates they way Joe Pilates originally designed it, the facilities are great and the teachers are the best I've ever worked with.

For me, the great strength of Pure Joe Pilates Studios is their staff of uniformly professional instructors who undergo continual training and certification in the Authentic Pilates Method. I started Pilates at Pure Joe several years ago following major abdominal surgery. It was key to my recovery, and now I honestly can't imagine ever stopping. They're the best!
