I didn't know New Mexico raises Wagyu cattle prized for their intense marbling meat, but that's not important. I am glad that I DO know New Mexico has a studio like Momentum that provides Gyrotonic Expansion System, a Wagyu cattle kind of exercise method in assisting the body to restore, enhance strength and mobility. If Pilates were a Bachelor's degree, Gyrotonics would definitely be a Ph.D.! To be certified, one must have a basic understanding of human body mechanisms and be willing to invest substantial amount of time to study, practice and explore to receive the benefits from the genius invention. Aline and Bryan have been equipped with skills in knowing what can be done to correct and build up the systems of the body so it works according to its original marvelous design. After 4 years of studying Pilates and 2 years learning Gyrotonic exercises here, I am excited to see what my 41-yr young body is capable of, overcoming the effects of ankle fractures and unleveled hip. One hour of Gyrotonic exercise usually flies by because I get to use machines that are truly fascinating, they are my kind of fun toys to play with and grow strong, lean and flexible at the same time.

Beautiful, clean facility. Calm and supportive atmosphere. All of the instructors I've met are TOP-NOTCH. (Brian, Aline, Liz, Kelly, & Lourdes - every one awesome)They offer (& recommend) a new customer package of four private lessons. They will allow you to split that with a friend though, making it even MORE affordable.After that they have class packages and also a drop-in rate.Open studio available for those whose training is already more advanced.I've been looking for a studio or some place to go that is more supportive than where I've been taking physical therapy (which I believe is actually making my joint injury worse as they have a specific goal in mind and push, push, push to get to it in the prescribed amount of appointments), and I've found it!I have no fear that the work I do here will be comprehensive, challenging, but appropriate for me and safe. I'm looking forward to starting Pilates equipment and Barre classes!!

When it comes to fitness, I'm game for just about anything. Just about. To preface, I'm disciplined in the beat-the-heck-out-of-your-body arts, you know, pushups and situps and lifting and punching, alongside a little stretching here and there, for balance. As a general rule, I like to sweat. I'm of the midwestern German/Jewish/British bloodline so my veins are pretty heated, thus when I get moving, I'm a faucet, it's disgusting, honestly. If you're anywhere near my proximity when I'm dripping, stay away. I'm like a garden hose under thunderous pressure, hurling my droplets upon unsuspecting passers by.I should also preface this with the admission that I enjoyed an introduction to Pilates from a friend/associate/trainer who offered to show me the ropes, springs and stands of the art free of charge. I didn't take a class and although the personal training session wasn't leveraged on an agreement to review the venue, I can't claim this was a genuine appointment with the business. Like many of you, I was genuinely curious about Pilates. Years of television commercials offered virtually no clue into the underworld of this fascinating practice, and once I was there, in a facility equipped with the very best, I totally got it. Pilates is the yin in my aging, overburdened yang. I'm about to turn 40, about to hit that Over the Hill mark, and that means I hurt, mysteriously, in places that never hurt before. As we age, we realize that stretching and activating those muscle groups that we ignored for 40 years suddenly matters. Momentum Studio is an excessively clean, dynamic facility decked out with machines that are built to bend you sideways, upwards and out. The contraptions in this place, man, they're genius inventions of wood and coil, pulley and spoke, the kind of thing your nutty neighbor developed in his garage, and they work wonders. One hour of work in here will realign your spine and reset your clock to Zen. Next visit, I'm investigating Barre. Can't wait.

I was so excited to find this studio. I was looking for a place that had routine mat classes with some additional group classes. The space is really well done and the instructors friendly and disarming. It is affordable... even for the equipment classes (which I've never done, but hope to try soon)! Highly recommend.

Feeling sad to rate Momentum Studio with only five stars. If I had my choice, I would give them a ten-star rating.Having practiced Pilates at many studios in ABQ and elsewhere, I find Momentum Studio a hard act to follow. Ailne, Bryan, and their staff treat their clients with kindness, caring, and respect, The instructors teach with their own style, yet compliment each other so that one feels that there is cohesion from one class to the next. Each instructor is well-qualified to VERY well-qualified. All instructors are knowledgeable, engaged, respectful of their students. Each student is treated as an individual (both in group and private classes). In a group class where there might be five students, the instructors often customize the workout to meet the personal needs of each student. The facility is well-maintained and clean. Momentum Studio has an impressive and unmatched collection of Pilates Cadillacs, Reformers, Chairs, and accessories. The equipment is well-maintained. I love that in a class, very often, students will work out on several apparatus during the class. The bottom line, though, is the people. You can have all the fabulous equipment, but without the fabulous people working in the studio, you've got nothing. Momentum Studio has it all. TEN STARS!

Momentum has been my movement home for 8 years, even through injury and recovery! Every instructor is seasoned and brings fresh, insightful, innovative and thoughtful expertise--that culture set and perpetuated by Aline's ethic. We have a great time while being serious about our workouts. Whatever your goals, your limitations, your dreams--you can achieve them here! The studio is immaculately clean, efficient in scheduling, provides helpful communication and caters to all levels of fitness and capabilities from newbies (old and young) to seasoned athletes. Momentum is uniquely a gem!
