Studio 8 founder, Christine Hall training a client on the Cadillac
A great way to start or go deeper; a private Pilates lesson on the Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Core-Align, MOTR, Arc Barrel, Ladder Barrel & other specialized apparatus is a fantastic way to work with injuries or strategic goals. You'll get even more personal attention, and leave feeling stronger & invigorated.
If you're interested in exploring focused, achievable and sustainable results, working one-on-one with an expert trainer is the best way to go.
Versatile and dynamic, the Pilates equipment uniquely promotes both strength and flexibility in the body.
But don't be fooled, Pilates delivers a serious challenge
The "Wunda Chair"
These sophisticated pieces of equipment encourage length through the tissues, but also demands stability, focus and sustained effort. This is achieved through eccentric muscle contractions: the muscle lengthening as it resists force. This is what creates the long, lean bulk-free look Pilates is famous for producing. The marriage of range of motion, strength & stretch brings about a holistic balance in the body.
Expect a custom, laser-focused session designed to meet your unique goals, tailored precisely to your body.
On the reformer, there is no place for muscular and structural imbalances to hide. This is what makes it so perfect for people working with injuries, and other conditions. It encourages - through slow & smoothly controlled movement sets - the equilibrium of strength, and your body responds over time by correcting for over & under compensations that often are a natural outcropping of injuries & conditions like scoliosis.
I originally started Pilates after some weight gain but then continued the practice for years, including during my entire pregnancy. I found gyms to be boring and overcrowded in the city. When I met with Chris I felt an immediate connection and started doing private lessons with her. I felt a new sense of strength and peace and I look forward to each session.

I was first introduced to pilates by my best friend who wanted to try something new. We took a duets class with Christine. I had hesitated at first mainly because of the unknown but Christine made our first session unforgettable. Love Christine's way of teaching & guiding. She has a way of making you extremely aware of your body mechanics which I appreciate! Who knew small, slow controlled movements went a long way! As an Registered Ultrasound Tech my arms, neck, upper back, etc… go through a great deal of stress and I do believe Pilates has helped! Also other several things I noticed, my body changed, I felt stronger/leaner/toned, but most importantly I swear that it helped me IMMENSELY with my cramps. I honestly should of tried this years ago! Christine is forever accommodating beyond belief. The studio is amazingly clean and open. Parking is easy & free! So it was a win-win every way I looked at it! Love Studio 8 and Christine!
