Contrology Studio Reviews
Linda Le
“After some research I waited for an assessment with Miquel & so that I can learn the proper foundations of Pilates I booked a few sessions with him to reap the full benefits. Now I have a glimpse of what Pilates is correctly (as the last time I trialed this with someone else it was not this in depth or thorough) - so it’s very core and proper form focused so that you can learn how to maneuver your body towards a pain/injury free life. I come from a mild running and strength training background so I am learning how difficult, different and how beneficial Pilates can be. I do wish I found this place sooner during my stay in the bay but none the less ever so thankful to have found them at all. A hidden gem in SF & highly recommend for anyone dealing with physical impairments needing to learn how to reset your body.”

“I can highly recommend Miki for core strength! Miki has been my favorite Pilates instructor for many years—her deep knowledge and love for Pilates gave me strength, body awareness, and confidence. I feel empowered each and every time I leave her studio! Miki is an excellent and intuitive teacher who knows what your body needs and how to reach the goal you set for yourself. She is patient and gentle, but when it's time for a great workout, she will make you sweat, and you won't even notice! In each class, I learn something new or get challenged with a new exercise or an adaptation of an old one. There is no boredom with Miki! After years of back pain and neck discomfort, I live pain-free nowadays with a couple of newly formed abs.”

“Miquel is an excellent classical instructor. He challenges me and helps me grow in my practice. He’s also well respected by other Pilates instructors, even those who trained in other schools of the Pilates method. I’m lucky to be on his schedule!”
