“Hannah is absolutely amazing!! Her coaching style is very versatile and when I told her that I wanted more athletic style classes, she knew exactly what to do. Every day, she always greeted me with a smile and her attitude was always very upbeat and positive. She made me feel so comfortable since Pilates was fairly new to me. It is obvious that she has a deep love and passion for Pilates and she ended up making me love it too!! 100% recommend!!!”

“I found Pilates Barre Lexington on social media. I was drawn to the pictures and how inclusive the body types and ages were. I reached out to Hannah- owner, instructor, all around super nice person. She immediately made me feel at ease. I’m 47, been out of a health fitness routine for awhile, and was nervous about joining anything new and unfamiliar.
I started with two private sessions, so I’d feel more confident on the reformer and to gain some confidence in my body while on the reformer. Abby, the other awesome instructor there, taught my first class, Hannah the second. They were patient, encouraging, and knowledgeable. I immediately signed up for a membership after the first session. When private classes were over I took my first group reformer class. I was made to feel so welcome. The women were fun, friendly, and badass. I kinda started to feel that way again too. I love how it feels leaning up to pop off or add on springs, grabbing the straps, putting the platform on for a leg trembling workout, and finishing with mermaids and leg circles!
Pilates is somehow both relaxing and challenging. I come into class excited for what we are going to do that day, bc it’s always different, and I leave feeling refreshed and energized. Now I’m obsessed and look forward every day to class. I am also now obsessed with grippy socks, Stanley cups, and yes even the reformer. So thankful to Hannah for the space she has created and cultivated so we can show up, feel good, have fun, and get one hell of a workout.”

“I have belonged to many types of gyms and studios (national and private) in my numerous moves during my career. I have been fortunate to have had great fitness instructors and trainers.
I moved home to LEX and I’m grateful I found Hannah! I’ve been working out with her in group reformer classes and private sessions, as well, over the last year. She is THE best instructor I have ever encountered. She is intelligent, intuitive and gifted in Pilates and coaching. She listens to my goals and has helped me achieve beyond what I hoped for.
Hannah is professional, kind and genuinely cares about people and their health, overall well-being and progress.
I’m extremely excited to be a part of Pilates Barre Lex Studio! Hannah will create a welcoming, positive and exceptional environment and studio.”

“I started working out with Hannah on the advice of a friend. I had finished chemo, surgery and radiation therapy for breast cancer eight weeks before I started and was exhausted and physically just spent. From that first day I felt at home in her studio, and I met some really lovely people. Her studio is an inclusive and very pleasant place to be.
We work hard and we laugh. It is great to feel stronger and more flexible with each workout. I just had reconstructive surgery and I give my consistent Pilates practice a lot of the credit for my smooth recovery. I can’t wait to get back to it with a whole new set of goals..”
