Central Studio, St. Louis MO

I absolutely love all the classes, especially SweatBarre. Amazing cardio and strength training. New to dance, or a trained ballerina, it's great for all levels. Prepare to sweat!

I have taken pilates lessons at Central Studio for about 4 years. I had never done pilates before so i had a ton to learn. All the teachers I have had have been very patient with me, explaining and showing me, often repeatedly, how movements were done.i have benefitted tremendously and continue to benefit in strength, flexibility, and awareness of body mechanics. Plus, pilates is just plain fun. My one and only regret is that i didn't start pilates many years earlier, but I intend to continue as long as possible.

I absolutely love this place. They have helped me achieve my goals in flexibility with Pilates, and helped relax those worked muscles the following day with an amazing massage by Marry-Ellen. Highly recommended organization

Everyone who works at Central Studio is knowledgeable and friendly. They have the customer’s health as their upmost concern.

I am a student here and I absolutely love it! The environment is so positive and you feel safe here. The people here are like my other family. The teachers and staff are very friendly and help and push you towards your goals. I 10/10 recommended taking some class here if you are looking to dance, rejuvenating exercise, or just be a part of the community.

I love this online Sweat Barre class! Mary-Ellen is an experienced exercise instructor so she knows how to get your body moving and sweating while having fun! It’s super easy to join online. I never miss a class, highly recommend!

I love Central Studio! I have been going to fitness classes there for almost 6 years now. The instructors and staff feel like family, they care about your health (sometimes more than you do!), and find ways to make classes you have been taking for years feel new and exciting each week. Particular shout-out to Rachel, who teaches Pound - a great workout that doesn't feel like work!

I drive 6 kids to CS Academy weekly and each of them jump in my car every week excited to go to dance. I have quite a rambunctious crew and Miss Megan handles them with grace. The kids range from 5-11 and there is a space for each of them to grow and shine.

I’m a student here and I absolutely love it! It’s a beautiful building and all the employees are super nice. It’s a great environment for all ages and has lots of classes and things to choose from at good prices! If you’re thinking about going, definitely go!

Central Studio is a great place that offers diverse exercise opportunities. It has a great down-to-earth feel and I love that you can do ballet, Thai bodywork and Pilates all in one place. You never get bored! It's clean and a lot of care goes into making you feel your best. I highly recommend it!

Everyone at Central Studio is very friendly, kind, and encouraging! It has been awhile since I had taken classes and the teachers will break things down so they make sense. They are accepting of any skill level in the classes and meet you where you are so there is no judgment. The other students are also very supported as well. It definitely reminds me of my home studio where I grew up.

As an instructor of over 5 years, Central Studio has always been a place where I have felt valued and supported. This is a unique space in that it prioritizes joy and whimsey alongside safe and proper technique. As Mary Ellen says "we are building this community's next generation of dance lovers and patrons! ".

Excellent atmosphere! Perfect place to learn multiple activities.
Always great vibe within the place, the people running the business and the clients. Highly recommended!

The summer intensive classes were a great way to learn a variety of different styles. Filled with amazing teachers.

Central Studio is a multi disciplinary studio that warmly embraces all who walk through the doors! Mary Ellen and her team are passionate about what they do and are seasoned professionals providing movement classes (dance, Pilates, gyro-tonics) and restorative therapy (massage, Thai healing). Everyone is made to feel welcome and you can’t be too young or old to “return to life” and start moving! You will not be disappointed!

Inviting studio with many dance and fitness options. There is never a dull moment with all the classes and events. Definitely a community for everyone to find their place.

It's hard to find a studio in St. Louis that has as many options as Central Studio! Whether you're looking for children's dance classes, adult dance and fitness classes, Gyrotonic or Pilates sessions, or even Thai Massage, you can find it here. The staff and instructors are very knowledgable, supportive, and welcoming, and the overall vibe of the studio is very warm and homey. The location is also very convenient and easy to get to-even from the Metrolink!

Everyone at Central Studio are very nice and caring. Robert Poe is the ballet teacher for my adult class and he is awesome and his ballet knowledge is outstanding. Mary Ellen Bryant, the owner, listens to your suggestions and tries to improve on my experience at the studio. It offers a lot of different classes for kids to adults, ballet and fitness classes, but also Pilates and Gyrotonics classes as well. Check them out.

Amazing studio. The culture is one of kind. Its like a family. The dance instructors are top notch. Can't beat this place!
