Our Customer Reviews
- Beautiful, clean studio with a very relaxing vibe. Chill music, smells lovely, amazing instructors who listen and push just the right amount. The owners are quick to respond to emails and texts. A personalized experience that was exactly what I was looking for and finally found in Miami. Always feel better when I leave and look forward to going back.read moreread lessWendy Wyka2/20/2025Gretchen is truly the best.The quality of an instructor is the make or break of a Pilates class/session. Don’t waste time with subpar teachers. Gretchen is a highly skilled instructor, very attentive, while personable and engaging too! Highly recommend ☝️read moreread lessAdrienne d'Annunzio11/20/2024Breathe Pilates is an oasis of health and wellness. The instructors are experienced professionals dedicated to clients/students getting the most benefit from their practice. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. I feel uplifted and energized after class. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a challenging yet fun exercise experience that tones and strengthens.read moreread lessLisa Poklop10/20/2024I began taking classes at Breathe when I was recovering from a severe back injury. I started private classes with Jennifer — she was SO accommodating and knowledgeable about my back issues. After a few months of private lessons I was able to start group classes, and eventually eased into full time group lessons. The pricing for reformer classes is unmatched, especially considering each class is maxed out at 6 students. Carole, Claudiane, and Jennifer's group classes are always fun but intense, constantly changing up the exercises and offering different levels of difficulty while keeping everyone's ability/accommodations in mind. I cannot recommend this studio enough!read moreread lessOlivia Herrera10/20/2024Breathe Pilates has very experienced instructors who care about each student. Each class is a really enjoyable experience and if you have any injuries/etc. they will help you modify so that you can still get the most out of your class! I tried out many Miami area studios which were not remotely close to the level of Breathe instructors nor were the classes an authentic Pilates style such as Breathe. I always look forward to going to class. Also, there's a wonderful friendly atmosphere even if you don't know anyone else in class!read moreread lessC. Yates9/20/2024The vibe at Breathe is welcoming and warm. This studio is staffed by a collaborative group of talented professionals who are absolutely serious about Pilates and their clients' Pilates practice. I have been a devotee of Breathe for several years, attending class with almost every instructor: all are highly qualified and bring their own style, lead classes that are challenging, and expertly guide clients to grow and develop. As an added bonus, Breathe also has the best clients 😉read moreread lessJM Walker9/20/2024
- I love this studio for so many reasons! I love that there are only a few reformers so the classes feel intimate and you get very individualized instruction and corrections. The studio also has a community feel to it and the instructors are very warm, friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I recommend Breathe Pilates to anyone that wants a true reformer Pilates experience!read moreread lessViviana Jaramillo9/20/2024At about 6 months postpartum I was ready to get back into moving my body after neglecting exercise throughout my pregnancy and early postpartum days. I found Breathe through reviews and a few friends and I haven’t looked back since. I started with a few private sessions to evaluate where I stood and was able to move into group classes from there. The instructors are unbelievably knowledgeable about all things Pilates and due to the small class sizes it feels like you are getting one on one instruction throughout every class. Everyone has always been warm and very welcoming and attending these classes is my “me time” that I look forward to each week. I’ve always jumped around to different studios because I wasn’t sure what I liked or I didn’t feel comfortable enough in the classes, but I feel like I finally found my happy place. I highly recommend Breathe Pilates to anyone looking for a friendly, personalized Pilates experience.read moreread lessChelsea Cangiano9/20/2024My favorite Pilates studio in miami. Breathe was recommended to me by my physical therapist and a Pilates teacher friend who don’t know each other. I’ve been here for over a year and won’t stop. Teachers and classes are beyond amazing! Shout out to my fellow Tuesday and Thursday Carole class takers!read moreread lessLior Ofir9/20/2024Personally I thought Pilates was not for me I have found a place where not only I enjoy the classes but I feel like the staff really cares I am now hooked and have never felt better ❤️🌞😊read moreread lessLorenzo de Matteis9/20/2024
- I love this studio! I’m so impressed with the depth of knowledge that each instructor displays and the amount of attention granted to every client even during group sessions and classes. Owner Gretchen Wagoner shows an interest in all of her Breathers’ personal health and growth. It’s not just a business here—it’s a family. Whether you’re taking a session physically or virtually, you couldn’t ask for better hands-on, personalized and safe instruction in Pilates than at Breathe.read moreread lessJen Karetnick3/20/2024Challenging and enjoyable! Love the Saturday Advanced Reformer class with Gretchen. The tension of the springs is only relieved by the friendly and welcoming studio vibes. Perfect healthy way to start the weekend.read moreread lessJames Wildbore3/20/2024When I moved to NE Miami, I embarked on a mission to explore every Pilates studio within a 10-mile radius. It was like a quest for the perfect blend of fitness and quality workouts! After countless tumbles, stretches, and flexes, I settled on the holy grail of Pilates studios: Breathe Pilates. This place has it all - a spotless and cozy atmosphere and a talented lineup of instructors who know their stuff - all managed under the expert leadership of Gretchen, the owner, and perhaps one of the most talented instructors I have experienced in my 7+ yrs of practicing this form of exercise. This is no ordinary studio. It's a haven of quality and excellence that's worth every penny.read moreread lessGlobeGal Miami3/20/2024Pilates for DUDES?! Yes!!!! What started off as a fun "trade of services" between our businesses has blossomed into quite a bit of enjoyable exercise. The instructors are great. The atmosphere is calming. The place is wonderful. My schedule simply won't allow it, but I would go every single day if I could. Guys.... Try Pilates. It isn't yoga, I promise. -JFread moreread lessFarmer's Lock & Key3/20/2024This studio rules. I've had lower back instability for 20 years, and for the first time since I was a little kid I don't constantly feel like my lower back is about to throw itself out (and in fact, I'm not sure it has a single time in the year and a half I've been working with them). They've adapted to all of my strange and complex medical restrictions with no trouble, and have made me feel truly accommodated for in a fitness space for the first time in the 25 years I've been doing sports + adjacent physical activity. I've been so happy here that I go my even-pickier sister and husband both to start private sessions too. I'm having to hold myself back from writing a full love letter to the studio and its instructors, but really—this place is the best.read moreread lessMargaux Herrera3/20/2024I have been going to Breathe Pilates for almost 5 years. This studio is so special! The owner Gretchen is a wonderful, friendly and an experienced Pilates instructor that has a passion for what she does. It shows right when you step in the door.

The instructors are very professional and talented, they pay special attention to each student and make sure they're doing their best. You won't find a better pilates studio in Miami.read moreread lessClaudia Mezerhane3/20/2023I've been taking virtual classes through Breathe from Boston for two years now after being introduced by a friend and longtime Breather. I never thought I could do pilates and always let intimidation stand in my way. But after my first virtual class with Breathe, I was hooked. The instructors are supportive and patient and incredibly talented. I have learned so much, gained confidence, and feel stronger. Class is always the highlight of my day. I would have never imagined feeling such a sense of belonging to the Breathe community participating from a different state but I very much do--and this is a testament to the wonderful people who make Breathe such a special, inspiring experience.read moreread lessCorey Smentek3/20/2023Breathe is the absolute best! I lived in Miami for almost a decade and took reformer classes in the studio and have continued with virtual classes since relocating to Boston.

I’ve never been stronger, thanks to Gretchen and her team. Five stars!read moreread lessEmily Borababy3/20/2023

They are all so attentive, great with providing modifications when needed, and just a joy to take class from!

I was a complete novice (and pretty out of shape) when I started. I am now an evangelist for Pilates in general and for this studio in particular. I have had many teachers at the studio over the years and every single one of them has been an excellent teacher who gave me a different perspective on my body and how it works.

My instructor was usually Gretchen. Any time Gretchen couldn’t be there, a substitute with comparable skills took over. I hadn’t realized how much my body had learned until the pandemic forced me to stay home. I started deep cleaning my house, often the positions that I needed to get into were difficult to get into. Getting out of those positions with a modicum of grace would have been impossible. I’m grateful to Gretchen and her entire staff for what I have learned. They are offering virtual classes via Zoom.read moreread lessira margolis3/20/2021I LOVE this Pilates Studio.
