Holly's Pilates Village FAQs
What Is Pilates?
We believe Pilates is the most effective and efficient way to exercise and maintain lifelong health.
Started by German immigrant Joseph Pilates in the late 20th century, Pilates is a system of exercise that combines elements of strength training, yoga, mindfulness, coordination, boxing, gymnastics, and cardiovascular conditioning.
Pilates builds core strength, flexibility, and lean muscle tone by lengthening the body and aligning the spine, rather than on bulking and shortening the muscle.
Who Can Do Pilates?
ANYONE!
At Holly's Pilates Village, we currently work with clients from ages 13 to 90. Many are recovering from illnesses and injuries. Some are trying to gain strength, balance, and muscle tone. Others are working towards physical fitness. Whatever your goals, we will develop an exercise program that will help you feel good, have fun, and learn healthy movement patterns.
Why Do We Also Offer Yoga?
Yoga improves strength, balance, flexibility, stamina, and mindfulness. It's a discipline that features healthy movement, just like Pilates. We believe Yoga and Pilates are perfect complements. Yoga adds more flexibility and balance practice while Pilates focuses more on stability and strength.

Holly's Pilates Reviews
Jennifer Eltzroth
Best pilates studio out there! Holly really knows her stuff, and is very warm and motivating. Classes are small with personal attention. Studio is clean and well maintained with a variety of equipment. Perfect if you are looking to step up your pilates skills or if you are just looking to improve your overall well-being from the wear and tear of life. Highly recommend!
Shauntrice Martin
This is an absolutely wonderful place to work out. I love the space and the equipment is brand new. The instructors are so pleasant without being annoying. They are accommodating and the owner is awesome! It feels so nice when you're there. I prefer the yoga class, but they have a variety of options (pilates, buff bones, nia just to name a few). I highly recommend taking classes at Holly's Pilates.
Angela Schmelz
Pilates Village is my happy place. Both the individual instruction and the group classes always target the entire body. My personal benefit with private instruction is the attention the instructor can direct to my target problem area(s). Holly has always strived to continue learning and incorporating wonderful additions to the studio and shares her knowledge with all her instructors. I am grateful for Holly’s vision, dedication and expertise and so thankful to be a part of it.
Darcy Croghan
They will know your name after first class! The studio is super clean, personal, excellent equipment, small classes. The instructors give personal attention, cater to your specific issues and I absolutely love the Core Align classes!
Mike Donohue
I started working with an apprentice a couple of years ago. I was sure I wasn't doing the work properly because I hadn't really done any kind of workout in YEARS and I'm not particularly well disciplined. The apprentice assured me I was, she could actually see the targeted muscles moving as they should.
When I began working with Holly and other certified instructors, I moved to the Pilates Stretch classes. My range of motion quickly improved, and my body began working the way it had in my twenties, I a soon to be 58 and not only am I only more flexible, stronger and well balanced but I've also regained two inches in height that had been lost in a lifetime of working on my feet and walking my dog over 15,000 times over 15 years. Standing taller has improved my confidence and people constantly ask me what I've been doing for myself. I tell them about Holly's Pilates Village and how the staff have helped me. I'm a lifetime Pilates guy now. I have also started doing some Yoga practice and TRX on Saturday mornings building strength and balance
Thank you Holly and staff.
Nancy Thomas
I feel like family at Holly's. Staff and teachers greet me by name and are genuinely concerned with my well-being. Teachers are obviously well-trained--I am especially grateful for the buff-bones pilates and yoga classes. My body feels more supple and stronger than it has in years. Thank you!
Marcie Prather
I love the yoga classes here. As a runner I have imbalances in my lower body and Holly’s Yin yoga class has really helped me open up the spots that are tight or feel stuck. Yin yoga has helped me increase the flexibility in my shoulders, hips and back while reducing aches and pains in my body.

Friendly, caring, expert teachers who really focus on their students’ health and well-being. I always feel welcomed, challenged and “seen.”
