Physique Exercise Salon

I had a great class with Maddie. I feel like a million bucks today. She is a fabulous instructor. All of my muscle groups felt like they were worked. When class was over I felt balanced!

Maddie and the whole team are wonderful. So welcome and know their stuff. They walk you through all the moves and help newbies and pros alike. Her studio has a great family feel and of course they welcome dogs in great Carmel style.

AMAZING classes! I recently had a baby and have been going to see Maddy and my body snapped right back in no time!

This place is awesome! Tried Barre for the first time Tuesday and went again tonight. I really enjoyed the workout-​its fast paced but you are able to stop when/​if you need to and pick back right up. Maddy the owner is an excellent instructor and the class is challenging so it makes you push yourself but you can also go at your own level so I like that. The space is very nice and clean and everyone that goes is very friendly but also there to get a good workout so there is no side talk during the class which I like. I definitely plan on adding this class into my weekly routine as I try to get back in shape and I know it will do the job. Look forward to checking out more classes here soon.

I have been attending Maddy’s class for the past nine months. She is very good at identifying individual needs to improve ones fitness. At 65 years old, I needed strengthening, endurance, and cardio conditioning. Since the beginning, I have lost two inches off my waste line, and over 20 pounds. Mostly due to Maddy’s support and personal attention to my goals. I would strongly encourage people of all ages to attend the Pilates, TRX and Barre classes. Her website is very easy to schedule classes that would best fit your personal schedule. He facility is sparkling clean. A wonderful place to improve ones personal fitness, and I give her one of my strongest recommendations. In addition, she makes the classes fun, so when you sweat it is with a smile!

Barre class is a challenge and an accomplishment! Brett’s class is just what I need to get stronger, leaner and longer! No slacking here… if you make the commitment, results are unavoidable. Love it!

I discovered Physique Exercise Salon in Carmel a couple of months ago. Ever since, I look forward to my Saturday morning barre class all week! I have been working out all my life, and can definitely throw some heavy weights around at the gym. My first barre class with Maddy at PES was very humbling! I quickly realized that you can’t target all the small muscles in your body with free weights or machines. The barre class does exactly that. The instructors are amazing. I just finished a class with Brett Wilbur, and let me tell you – I can’t wait for next Saturday! Every class is different and brings a new challenge for me. I am hooked!
If you’ve never tried Barre or Pilates classes, you should definitely stop by Physique Exercise Salon!

THE BEST. This is easily the best Pilates studio/​fitness studio in the area. I recommend it to anyone, you don’t even need to be into Pilates! Everyone who works there is super nice, the prices are good, the location is good, etc. And the instructors also know what they’re talking about. Far and above better than the other studios in the Carmel/​Monterey area. You should check it out! The fact that every single review is five stars should be proof enough! :)

Loved every class I have taken here. The cardio Pilates class is awesome! I have been taking the barre class for five weeks and my entire body has transformed! Thank you Maddy!

I began taking Barre about 3 years ago, and have been to numerous studios around the US. I can honestly say that Physique Exercise Salon is my favorite of all the places I’ve been too! Maddy’s classes give you an upbeat, motivating, and challenging workout, which always has me coming back for more. All her exercise’s can be modified depending on your skill level. Wether your a novice, or an expert, you will be left with the work-​out your looking for!

This was my first barre class and I really enjoyed the class, the instructor (Maddy) and the facility. Maddy’s instructions were clear and easy to follow, and she was attentive but not hovering, which I like. It was a great workout and I will definately go back. Hoping the schedule expands so I can do so more often.

Maddi’s new studio on Junipero is beautiful. I started going at the beginning of the New Year and has loved Pilates… this is my first experience and can’t believe I’ve been missing this all along. I truly wanted to get stronger in my core for other sports and to prevent injury. Maddi explains the various exercises with the reformer and what muscles it is targeting. She tailors the class to fit my needs if there are not many clients. She is extremely knowledgable about the class and I feel like I get the best workout, every muscle is worked to the MAX!

I love going to Pilates at Physique Exercise Salon! The way that Maddy choreographs the exercises you get a total body work out. Whether I decide to attend the more intense Core & Cardio session or the more relaxed Classic Reformer session, I always leave feeling like every muscle in my body got attention. Maddy is an awesome young woman, I have know her since she and my son were in 6^th grade together at Stevenson School in Carmel, and I completely trust her and her abilities to instruct Pilates. The Salon offers a great work out, friendly atmosphere, and nice selection of times and classes to work with my busy schedule. I am a total convert for Physique Exercise Salon. What else can I say but you have to try it out!

I am visiting Carmel and have taken 3 classes in the last week with Maddy. She is a great instructor, she’s fun and approachable. Her classes are challenging, but not impossibly hard. Her style is supportive and non-​intimidating. She gives you a work out, and will taylor exercises to your individual needs. I will definitely come back next time I’m in the area, and wish I lived closer as I would take her classes every week.

I am 81 years old and have done Pilates for two years. For the last 45 days I have attended two sessions weekly with Maddy. I find that Maddy provides the right balance of instruction, explanation, question answering, correction and leadership for a very positive experience. Whether you are just starting out or experienced in doing pilates I would highly recommend Informed Movement with Maddy to a person of any age.

I wanted to update my review, I have now been working with Maddy for over a year. I love all the new classes that have been added and the new Salon is beautiful. I am still seeing great results and really enjoy Maddy’s hands on approach. She really takes the time to be sure you are doing the moves correctly. She makes the classes fun and is really a joy to work with! I fell off the wagon for a bit and came back about a week and a half ago. I started the Barre classes and am already seeing results. Maddy’s workouts are by far the best I have ever had!
Previous review: I have been seeing Maddy at Informed Body twice a week for about 2 months now. She is great, Maddy fully explains each move and makes corrections as needed so I get the best result from my workout. She is very easy going but also able to give me the extra push I need (most the time). I have really enjoyed my sessions with her and when everyone talks about crazy results from Pilates they are not kidding! I have gotten so many compliments on how flat my stomach is getting, and how much weight I have lost! When I looked in the mirror this morning I could see that I AM GETTING ABS! I have tried many workouts and the results of my workouts with Maddy have been by far the best!
