Movewell - Arcata (CA)

5 /5 STEM Teacher: Movewell is my favorite fitness studio in Humboldt! The space is gorgeous, all the instructors that I have worked with have been fun and knowledgable, and the owner is always finding ways to give back to her community. They have great pilates classes, and I have also liked their yoga and mama & baby classes.

5 /5 Stephanie Fiato: My first class at Movewell was a prenatal yoga class with Jodie. It felt good to be taking a class with other mamas all on our motherhood journeys. Jodie is very welcoming, supportive & fun! A friendship with another mom was made during this class and its so great to have that connection being a first time mom. Im now taking the Pilates class with Islay. Again, a great group of mamas! I look forward to class each week not only to get out of the house with my babe but to be supported in the community with other amazing women. Such a great investment for your mind and body. Islay is very knowledgeable & has great energy. I love that this studio does not feel intimidating as everyone I have encountered is friendly and warm. Grateful to have access to this beautiful studio during my pregnancy & postpartum.

5 /5 Genevieve Schmidt: I just love the experience at Movewell. Ive been taking classes from Judi Nelson here off and on for some years and Judi is a tremendously helpful teacher. Her physical therapy training really shows in the classes. My days always feel better when I can come to her classes. The whole Studio feels clean, calming and lovely. I like the easy sign up from my phone, where I can reserve my spot and pay either the night before or in the morning when I am about to leave. I especially appreciate that Tamra supports the surrounding community in so many ways, from having local art on the walls, to doing the free class twice a week for Plaza Point Apartments seniors (which include my mom). This is a great business that I am happy to get to support!

5 /5 Amalia Borja: My husband and I are retired and in our mid 60s. We took Ellies Barre pilates classes/ series. It was amazing. We both gained strength and mobility. Everyone in the class was friendly and I found Movewell very welcoming to people of all ages! Ellie was great and I am going to take her next Barre series again!

5 /5 Rita: I love the reformer classes. They are great for targeting isolated muscles. The aerial yoga is super fun with support and a kind and welcoming instructor. So far, all the instructors are lovely, down to earth and supportive. They pay attention to each participant and are helpful in adjustments and encouragement. I wish they had more classes but otherwise I love this place!
