Gem in the Pearl

By
Lee
Circle Studio is an awesome find. It is a great facility with pristine pilates and gyrotonic equipment. The studio specializes in gyrotonic, which is is like pilates, plus, plus, plus. The best thing about Circle is the instructors. Gyro is fantastic, and has helped me in gaining better movement and flexibility. I love its location in the Pearl, and the studio is calm and inviting with easy to find street parking.

Biomechanics Transformation
ByKate C.
I’m a 20+ year marathon runner and have always worn a motion control shoe due to back and foot issues. I started Pilates at Circle Studio last year to develop my core and to cross-train.After several months of attending classes, I went into a running store to purchase a new pair of shoes. After a gait analysis, the fit expert told me that I no longer need a motion control shoe, but I need a neutral shoe - indicating that I have NO BIO MECHANICS ISSUES! Many thanks to Kari and Richard for guiding and “fixing” the way I move!

This circle is a star
ByRaina L.
It is such a pleasure to be a client of Circle Studio, with their unique mix of professionalism, warmth, and enthusiasm. Who knew working out could be this rewarding? My original motivation was that I knew I needed to invest in myself but I am very particular about how and with whom I choose to work out. I gave Gyrotonics at Circle Studio a chance and fell in love. My body has never felt so strong, alive, and flexible. Not only did the long term injury to my foot disappear, but so did some extra pounds. I always feel welcome. The passion and expertise the girls have at Circle studio makes all the difference. -Raina, Portland OR

Best workout experience ever…
ByWendy
Thirty years of running (and not stretching!) had destined me to a life of Chiropractor visits and an inability to even touch my toes! Since joining Circle Studio, starting Pilates and Gyrotonic, I have not needed to see my Chiropractor and have achieved a level of flexibility that I never knew was possible. In addition, my body overall has begun to move with more fluid and graceful motions. Kari and her team are fun, energetic and extremely knowledgeable instructors. I can honestly say that joining Circle Studios was the best investment that I have ever made in my overall health and fitness routine.

Feel balanced again!
ByJen N.
“Ever since I started Gyrotonic sessions at Circle Studio, my back problems have disappeared. The trainers have a way of watching your body and knowing what it needs to feel better by the time you leave the studio.”

Circle Studios Gyrotonic
ByLucy B.
Circle Studios is across the street from my Pearl District condo and at first I thought…”what is gyrotonic??” I have a background in yoga and modern dance and am 67 yrs.old!! It was the MOST AMAZING experience and I felt immediately “hooked”. My instructor, Kari, is supportive and knowledgable and was totally adaptive to my personal body needs….especially following KNEE REPLACEMENT surgery!! Give Circle Studio a visit…I promise you will be surprized and motivated and you will feel amazing after a workout! Lucy Baldwin
