Pilates with Vlada is THE BEST!!!!
by ausmom
The Pilates Center at Ballet Austin is fantastic!! Vlada Sheber and her crew have a state of the art Pilates room with fantastic equipment and a great atmosphere. The few times a week I attend classes are my most favorite hours. I leave the class exhausted but feeling energized for my day. Vlada is a WONDERFUL instructor who is skilled but she is also so kind and so funny. Even as a novice, she made me feel at ease and now that I am more skilled, she can tailor the class to provide me with the challenge that I need to get a good workout. I have tried many other workout classes and none have made me as happy as Pilates with Vlada.
- Pros: great facility and amazing instructor
- Cons: limited parking (but that should be fixed once construction there is complete)

Best Pilates for the Pros and for the Common "Man"
by SFTexan
I don't know why it took me so long to try it, but both instructors have provided me with great workouts as a single or duet, using muscles I didn't know I had. I always feel my body has gotten a full workout, with attentive and amazingly well-informed trainers. Individual attention allowed me help injured areas and grow stronger, better toned as well. Clearly these people who deal on a daily basis with dancers whose bodies must be maintained perfectly know how to keep a body in it best possible shape and they are of great benefit to individuals lucky enough to find a spot in their schedule and to benefit from their knowledge and commitment. I'd drive a long way to spend an hour in this pilates studio!
- Pros: Nice intimate setting, great equipment, highly trained coaches
- Cons: Parking can be challenging,
