I found studio h conditioning and Heidi through Unilocal and can tell you that I am so excited to be able to come and take classes and privates with Heidi. She is exceptional. What I’ve learned with Heidi and the skills she has taught me through Pilates is amazing. I have terrible neck and shoulder pain and Heidi has helped me not only gain strength overall but also helped me work through my neck and shoulder issues and I’ve improved immensely. Heidi is incredibly talented and shares her wealth of knowledge with her students. Every class and private with her is different and she is always learning so she can pass it on to us. I truly appreciate her efforts when I come to class to make sure my positioning/​form is correct and that I’m getting the most out of my workout. So thankful I found this place!

Marla is amazing! We did a group class with her and she was very attentive to all of our needs. She pointed out our problem areas that we need to pay extra attention to. She made us aware of our posture problems, our strengths and weaknesses. This class was very informative, The setting of the studio is very relaxing. She let us know the importance of drinking plenty of water after each class to get rid of toxins in our body. We will definitely be back next time we’re in the area! Book with her directly

I’ve grown familiar with the instructors I like — shout out to the wonderful Heidi and Andrea, yay you two! They are always challenging and always extremely supportive to get correct form. I like challenge, and they offer that, without ever making you dread coming. It’s my joy to go to their reformer classes! The other students are quite friendly and they appear to be regulars so there is a fun casual atmosphere during class. I LOVE this place, inside and out! I highly recommend it for anyone that’s intimidated to try Pilates.

Recently tried an aerial silks and aerial hammock class here. Danielle, the instructor, was wonderful. She gives great, easy to follow directions and makes you feel very safe while hanging in the strange contraptions. The class sizes are small, with only two apparatuses available. I didn’t feel sore right after the workout, but for 2 – 3 days after, my arms were on fire! Holy crap. definitely challenges muscle you don’t normally use in a regular gym workout. I would recommend trying aerial. classes at Studio H for a fun and challenging workout.

I was referred to Heidi through my chiropractic’s staff. It seemed that the work I was getting done was just temporarily relieving symptoms and not getting to the core issues causing them.
I started with private Pilates reformer training with Heidi and have now moved to group Pilates reformer classes and Gyrotonic training. Heidi is amazing & I can’t recommend her enough. She is warm, inspired, and really connects with where you are and how best to modify your form to optimize the effects of the movement. I’m constantly struck by what an inch of modification does to scramble my muscle memory! Over the months I started eyeing the Gyrotonic equipment and now I’m totally sold on it. Currently, Heidi charges the same for private training on Pilates reformer or Gyrotonic, which is sort of unheard of. And I’m hooked.
And since Pilates and Gyrotonic do compliment each other, I have continued with the Pilates Reformer group classes with Andrea, who is equally wonderful as a trainer. There are 4 reformers so that’s the maximum enrollment for any Pilates Reformer classes allowing the instructors to still provide individualized prompts.
Picking classes is even more easy once you’ve bought a package because signing up is done in the app and online.
The facilities are super clean and airy.
And I actually haven’t been to the chiropractic in over 6 months!

I’ve taken several reformer Pilates classes lead by Andrea and she is amazing! She pays a great deal of focus to each student individually on technique and form, talks us through engaging different parts of the body, and makes adjustments to our form when needed. There’s nothing better than having your mind & body fully engaged in Pilates. Thanks Andrea!

I am awed by the changes at Studio H, all for the better; wider selection of classes, new classes being added all the time, and the continued excellent quality of instructions. Her new instructors are just as great, with the same attention to detail as Heidi. Since I’ve been going to Studio H I have noticed such a difference in my core strength, my overall conditioning, and absolutely my posture. The ambience at the studio is just so pleasant, it’s a pleasure to work out there. It’s the antithesis of going to the gym! I cannot wait to try some of the new class offerings, like the aerial silks, that are just getting going. I love it and can’t say enough good things about all the great changes Heidi, the owner, has been making! All for the better. I highly recommend Studio H if you’re serious about getting in shape, and changing your body’s shape at the same time.

I’m a big fan of this Pilates studio. I’ve been a regular for over a year. Saturday mornings this workout gets me going & repairs the damage from the week. Heidi has expanded & offers a wide variety of conditioning classes. U must try it!

My first review was a couple of years old, so I thought it was time to update my review. As you can tell from my 5 stars, Studio H continues to be a 5 star studio in my book. I love taking classes with Heidi. When doing exercises she will modify my body in such a slight way, but it makes a huge difference. I love Heidi!!!

I bought a Living Social ($ 39 for 4 classes) and after missing one due to work commitments, i FINALLY made it in and I gotta say I was definitely impressed! I had Heidi for an hour and she was attentive (4 to a class, but I was the only newbie) and she knew I needed the most coaching/​assistance. OMG I hate the ring of doom :(I haven’t taken a pilates class in about 2 years but I look forward to returning… I will keep you posted if I can walk tomorrow! Generally, I will return and recommend you try itout. OH, and I was the only non-​skinny minnie in there BUT she tailored it for EVERYBODY. It was great :)

Heidi has been my long time Pilates instructor. Her private training sessions are top notch and tailored to your needs. She is beyond knowledgeable, and with a background in dance, really understands the body and how it moves. I look forward to Studio H Conditioning growing because Heidi is awesome and it’s about time more people knew about it.

I really like this yoga studio. Heidi is a great instructor and very knowledgeable. She’s great with beginners as well as advanced. She ver careful not to let you injure yourself or if you have an existing inuury, she’ll give you options to work around it and suggestions of how to help heal it. Her prices are very affordable and she runs specials on packages often.
I initially went to Studio H because I bought a Living Social voucher. That was over a almost a year ago and Im still going. Try it, you’ll like it!

WIth the help of Unilocal posting I have had good customer service by emailing Heidi, the owner rather than conventional calling and messages.
Nevertheless, I have returned and recently attended Jennifer Lopez’s barre class and got a great workout which was a lot of fun as well. The reviewer who gave her a bad review has obviously no one to blame, but herself for not taking care and listening to her own body. It’s common sense to take a break or not to continue if something hurts. Sure there wasn’t a set water break, but to make it sound like you weren’t allowed to drink water is ridiculous.
The place is small, a converted garage, and is very unassuming, but you’re there for a workout and the instructors I have had have been great.

Found this class on Groupon, awesome deal! I have taken two of the barre classes and they are like no other workout I have done. Very fun, yet very challenging, like any workout should be. Heidi is so great, and she looks amazing for her age. She is very helpful and good at explaining the workouts, especially for someone with no dance background. I took Jennifer’s class tonight and she is anything but scary. She is so sweet and fun, but pushes you to do well. Never did i feel like i couldn’t stop and take a break with fear of being called out. The classes are so fun, and I can see where dancers get their bodies! Overall great classes, only thing is I wish there was someone to answer questions over the phone, but that will come with the new studio i’m sure.

The Ballet Barre class with Jennifer Lopez is great! Yes, it’s «hardcore» and Jennifer doesn’t pause or take breaks between the exercises, but it does not mean you are not allowed to. I’ve taken liberty in making modifications when I needed to or if I really needed to stop, I’ll stop to drink water or shake off the cramps/​pain.
This is coming from a girl who have never really taken pilates, aerobics, etc. classes and have had very little experience with yoga. Although I have been working out for a long time so maybe that helped me transition into this class’ techniques better.
Jennifer is a fun teacher with a million moves to help tone and sculpt the body. Each class is different enough that you will never do the same exact routine. She’ll work you from head to toe and it feels great!
Highly recommend this class!
UPDATE: Studio H moved to a sadly, tiny studio. Jennifer’s class is no longer available, sadly. Although Natalia’s style is different and also great — it’s a little uncomfortable to work out in such a tiny space…

The deals that Heidi runs are definitely worth taking advantage of– the prices are great and the classes are awesome.
The Best: Weighted Vinyasa– Priscilla is beyond amazing; motivating, helpful, understanding, always ready with a word of praise and modifications to help each class member. Denni is also fantastic and very helpful.
Yes, the studio is small and hard to find at first, but the experience is worth it.
Also Good: Ballet Barre– as another Unilocaler mentioned, there are no breaks or modifications offered, though if you go at your own pace, stretch when needed, and make your own modifications it’s not so bad. It does kick your butt and you’ll feel it for a day or two– which means it’s working.
The ‘Warehouse’ is large, but at least you have stretching space– bring a sweatshirt for warm-​up though.

I hate to give the entire studio a bad review, especially since Heidi is so amazing. Her pilates classes are so great. However, Jennifer Lopez’s Barre conditioning class was ridiculous.
Besides being a cold studio (not their fault), it was obvious to me that the majority of us there were new. Jennifer was very pleasant & warm. She just failed to take her group into consideration.
We began with a «warmup» according to Lopez, which never ended. She took all of us from a cold state into muscle cramps. And it was apparent that my friend and I were not the only ones struggling. Not once did we stop the entire hour! A few of us spoke up about pain & needing to stretch, but it was as if Jennifer was too concerned with staying on schedule.
She would walk around a few times and try to help people. Most of what I saw was people unable to do it correctly, and Jennifer trying to make then do it right without a modification that would be attainable for their skill level.
Perhaps it was simply inexperience when leading a class, but I was supremely let down. My friend who attended the class with me was told by her doctor that she strained both hamstrings! Not good Jennifer, not good.

I bought a package through Living Social. After reading some of the other reviews (Blondie H.), I was afraid that I would have the same difficulty in scheduling or attending classes. So, I called the phone number listed on the certificate (same as the Unilocal site) and held my breath. I wanted to attend a class the next day and was calling about 24 hours in advance. I got the voicemail and just basically left my name, number, Living Social certificate number and my intent to attend a class the following day. I basically just said, «I’ll be there tomorrow, you can call me back if there’s a problem.» I didn’t get a call back, but the way I posed my voicemail, it didn’t really require a returned call.
Anyway, I was still nervous showing up the next day, not knowing if i’d need a legitimate appointment or not. I showed up and was kind of scared that I wouldn’t be able to practice that day since the studio is quite small and a few others were already waiting for the class. It sucks, but the one negative review really gave me some anxiety in regards to redeeming this deal I bought. Maybe the other review should have just shown up and been like, «I’m here and I’m going to practice yoga today.» or whatever.
The instructor, Denni, greeted me warmly and welcomed me into her class. Thankfully, there were no issues involved in using my certificate and the rest is history.
I loved the class and was sweating like a dog before it was half way completed. Denni was a great instructor and she had a great, energetic playlist for her uplifting Vinyasa flow class.
I would give a 5 star review if there were better clarity about how to redeem the Living Social deal and how to schedule a class. Those directions could easily be incorporated in the Studio’s voicemail, if the proprietor would rather not waste time answering simple questions. Maybe I’ll update my review to 5 stars after attending a few more classes.

I found Studio H Conditioning through a LivingSocial deal…20 semi private pilates sessions for $ 20. I don’t know if you know anything about pilates, but that’s a hell of a deal. The cheapest you’ll find a single class semi private is $ 45 – 60 a session. I’m not going to lie, I almost feel guilty, like I’m completely taking advantage.
I absolutely adore Heidi. She is very knowledgeable and hands on; always making sure that you are doing thing correctly and explaining how different areas of your body should feel when doing each exercise. Every time I see Heidi I tell her to kick my butt and she does not take that lightly. She works me and no matter how much I may complain or groan, she doesn’t let up and I love it.
Heidi is incredibly light hearted and completely entertaining. I don’t think I ever laugh more than when I’m working out with Heidi.
