Carolina Ferro12/02/2025 - I call Breathe Pilates Studio my 'life support system'. Gretchen's classes and instruction have helped me refine my Pilates practice. I am stronger and more confident not only in the studio but in my day to day life. That's the real gem of Pilates. It doesn't just make you stronger and more flexible but more importantly it has a positive impact on all aspects of life. Claudiane's classes are fun and challenging. She has a background in physical therapy and has helped me tailor my practice to accommodate old injuries. I call Hannah "the iron fist in a velvet glove" Her teaching style is gentle yet surprisingly challenging. All the instructors are top notch!

Jill Leslie9/30/2025I had my first session with Hannah and absolutely loved it! She’s sweet and has such great energy. As a beginner, I really appreciated how warm and welcoming she is—it instantly put me at ease. Her instruction is clear and effective, and she takes the time to focus on proper form and alignment. She’s patient and attentive as she leads the class, which makes a big difference. Definitely a return student here!read moreread lessPaula Sohn8/08/2025I absolutely love this Pilates studio!

I’ve been thinking a lot how I would describe these classes to the public and the closes description I can come up with is: A guided self massage half the time and other half shakes that shape you into resilienceread moreread lessPaola Knapp6/09/2025I tried a number of studios before falling in love with breathe.

- The flow of the class was excellent, perfectly balancing work and relaxation. The atmosphere, the music, and the depth of knowledge Gretchen shared made the experience truly outstanding.

Highly recommend ☝️read moreread lessAdrienne d'Annunzio11/20/2024I 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 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.

- The 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 Walker9/20/2024I 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 Jaramillo9/20/2024My favorite Pilates studio in miami.

Shout out to my fellow Tuesday and Thursday Carole class takers!read moreread lessLior Ofir9/20/2024
- Breathe 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. Yates9/20/2024Personally 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 Matteis9/20/2024At 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 Cangiano9/20/2024I am so happy to reconnect with Gretchen and her Pilates studio, after the pandemic I was looking for a studio and I found it!

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 Karetnick3/20/2024
- This 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 Herrera3/20/2024When 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!!!!

Gretchen, the studio owner and one of the best teachers ever, is so warm and friendly. I didn't not feel intimidated to be practicing at this studio, and that's very important to me.
