Truly an amazing studio! I’ve been going for years and always look forward to my time there! They really go above and beyond to make sure you’re having a personalized experience and that you feel your best!

The instructors are very professional and knowledgeable – they take a sincere interest in each client. They want to know about any injuries or particular concerns to make each session a positive experience. They will modify the moves to meet the client’s ability. If you are looking for a unique experience don’t look any further than Niche Pilates. Oh and love love love the cold lavender washcloth towards the end of class during cooldown period.

Trying Pilates for the first time was both exciting and a little intimidating, but it quickly became one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my body and mind. After playing Rugby for seven years, Pilates introduced me to a new kind of strength—one built on control, balance, and awareness. This year, reaching 100 Pilates classes has completely changed my life. What started as a goal to move my body more has turned into a powerful journey of reclaiming my mental health. Through every class, I’ve learned to connect with my breath, quiet my thoughts, and appreciate what my body is capable of. Hitting 100 classes is more than just a milestone because it’s a reminder of how consistency, movement, and mindfulness can truly transform your entire outlook on life. Thank you, Niche, for showing me how strong I am and my love for Pilates!

At 57 years old, after a lifetime of competitive sports, keeping horses, farming and high heels, my body was starting to say, “no, thank you.” I joined Niche in 2019 and, despite a covid hiatus, I’ve hit my 200 class mark. What has that done for me? I am fitter than I’ve been since 2005. I’m more flexible than even when I was doing yoga three times a week. I’ve found a community of folks who are kind, supportive, and non-judgemental. Pilates has truly been a reset for my body and my mind. Thank you!!!

I first came taking classes here as a complete beginner and I have learned so much… The teachers are full of knowledge and have helped me in so many ways. I encourage anyone interested to definitely come here! Love this place!

I’ve been a member at Niche for around five years, and I’m constantly impressed by the experience. Every visit feels like a luxurious act of self-care—the beautiful environment, the incredible staff, the thoughtfully designed classes, with special touches like the lavender towel and monthly guest pass that make it truly exceptional. My husband and I love taking a class together once a month and turning it into a little date night afterward. I also went on the Pilates retreat, which was such a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway. As a physical therapist—and someone who struggled with self-care while navigating grief—Niche has been a grounding, healing constant in my life. It has helped me reconnect with myself in the most meaningful way.

I always look forward to my weekly private session with Sabrina. Not only is she a delight, but she creates personalized pilates sessions just for me and what my body might need that day. I love all of them. She also takes care to make sure that my positioning and alignment are precise, which makes a big difference in maximizing the workout. Private sessions help me stay on track with my general fitness goals and having Sabrina there to focus just on me makes me feel like it’s time and money well spent.

Savannah’s Reformer Power Flow class is my absolute favorite, and she’s super encouraging while also helping adjust form as needed. Cannot say enough good things about this studio and it has really made me fall in love with Pilates!

Cameron O.

Niche has been transformative in my workout routine. My body and core have never been so strong, even when I was a two sport athlete in college. The variety of classes offered — from advanced reformer to mat circuit class — keeps my body moving in new, challenging ways. No two classes are the same! I have learned so much about myself and my body, and my confidence has blossomed. Niche has given me a strong sense of community when I first moved to Richmond, and I have made lasting friendships that began in the studio. I am so grateful for Niche over the last year and a half, not just for the killer workouts, but for making Richmond feel more like home!

It’s my happy place. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the care and intention behind every detail. The space is always spotless, the energy is zen, and the entire staff makes you feel part of a community… I’ve tried other studios in the past, but nothing compares. This place has completely changed the way I feel about fitness, and I can’t imagine going anywhere else!
