“The Good Space instructors and equipment are first-rate. The attention to detail of everyone's form and physical abilities make any necessary adaptations comfortable and effective, and the variety of exercises/creativity of the instructors prevent exercise boredom. I had a recent complete hip replacement and I strongly believe that my remarkable and swift recovery was in part due to Pilates classes, both before and after surgery. Can't recommend them strongly enough.”
