Clients reviews about Harmony Pilates & Physical Therapy

I have been taking pilates for about a year, and it has made a huge difference for me in terms of my health and overall wellness. Vanessa is a fantastic instructor and is super knowledgeable. I have learned so much from her in only a year. She is the main reason I have been able to stick with pilates. I always enjoy her classes because she is careful about helping you achieve good form, and she varies the exercises across classes so you have exposure to different movements. I also have taken from Malia, and she is fantastic as well. Those class times don't always work as well for my schedule, but her classes are very popular. Overall I enjoy the convenience of this studio location, and Harmony has made pilates accessible to me as a beginner. ~ Joni S

I injured myself 2 years ago and was miserable with my back pain and pelvic pain from breaking my pelvis and herniating my lower lumbars. The nerve pain was unbearable. I gained a lot of weight being not able to do the things I love like surfing etc. I was recommended pilates from a friend and I fell in love with it. I’ve tried all the various pilates studios on island and Harmony is my favorite. Frank the instructor is very knowledgeable about the body and injuries especially tailoring a specific pilates workout to help strengthen and heal the body. I’ve lost 40 lbs since beginning and am in better shape than I was post injury. Thank you Frank and the Harmony team for getting my body back in shape. Aloha ~ Bill D

My primary care physician referred me to Dr. Juyhun Kim for PT related to lower back pain and my desire to understand how to prevent it and improve posture as an aging male. Over a 12 week cycle ,Juyhn took me through a series of strengthening exercises using Pilates, as well as a variety of stretching techniques. She not only helped to relieve my back pain, but more importantly, she taught me about my body and it’s interconnectedness. And she especially taught me about how my lower abdominal muscles determine how to support my body with good posture. She has a deep and varied background of training and experience. So she approaches things holistically which included precise manual massage therapy, fascia release, nervous system reset, whole body alignment, etc. I learned from her experience and wisdom. And I was healed by her treatments. I would highly recommend. ~ Gary Y

Frank is absolutely brilliant at knowing how to build up muscle in the right places to overcome injuries, disc pain ,sciatica etc.I am very grateful for his knowledge and experience. He is simply a genius. Harmony Pilates is clean , beautiful and spacious. The office manager, named Stacey is always a bright light, accurate and will clarify any questions. There are also physical therapists that have years of experience. Just remember that you have to wear grippy toe socks before being able to use equipment. You can buy them online or there are some to purchase at the front desk. I don't know if this this is the right place for you but it was an incredible blessing for me ~ Martha J

I was in a physical slump, feeling weak and out of shape at 49. Starting Pilates with Frank after a twenty year break was the best decision I ever made! Frank has helped me transform my body, I feel stronger than ever, and also am more focused and energetic! I look forward to my hour when I can just focus and forget everything else! Frank is absolutely amazing, his knowledge and expertise are unmatched. My husband even started classes with Frank, focusing on stretching and mobility. If you want to be in the best physical and mental shape of your life, please try Pilates with Frank at Harmony Pilates in Manoa! Thank you so much Frank for guiding me (and husband) to be the best we can be! ~ Kristi N

I started taking pilates at harmony a year ago. When i started my lung function was at 38%. The staff and instructors took my disability into consideration during exercise regimen. I had my annual pulmonologist appointment last week and my lung function had increased to 51% over one year! I had also lost about 7lbs and a dress size. I feel great and wish to thank the harmony team. The studio is well appointed with stellar instructors. There is schedule that anyone can find a suitable time with a variety of options both in kailua and manoa. If you want to improve your health and work on your strength try it out. You are sure to see results if you stay with it. ~ Nira C

Love this studio and the instructor, Frank! マノアマーケットプレイス2階にあるピラティススタジオ、HARMONY PILATES AND PHYSICAL THERAPY, オススメです‼️ スタジオも綺麗で快適。プライベートレッスンをお願いしたフランクさんは、身体の事を深く理解していて、指導も的確で力の抜き方の指導や固くなった筋肉のほぐしもしてくれました。レッスンの後は、身体が軽く柔らかくなって、気持ちも軽くなりました。早速、プライベートレッスンの回数券購入しました。ホノルルに滞在中楽しみです。 ~ Takiguchi Y

I have scoliosis and after all these years I haven’t suffered any debilitating back pain until several months ago. Several people, including my physical therapist, suggested Pilates. I’ve never done Pilates but after a few introductory sessions I feel this is what I need. I’m very new and still learning the lingo and moves but Frank is patient and a great instructor. Min is great also. The studio is nice and clean. I feel good mentally and physically after a class. Unfortunately, my work and Pilates class schedules don’t quite align (my availability is mainly later afternoon/early evening) but I will definitely try to make it when I can! ~ Lauae4me

I did 2 rounds of physical therapy with Dr. Kim. She is amazing! She knows the body very well. She would constantly remind me to tuck in my core and align my body in ways to target specific muscles. She also use many tools to help me alleviate my pain so that I could continue the things I learned after I stopped seeing her. She incorporated Pilates into our physical therapy to really build my core. She also did wonders with massage therapy helping my back pain and nerve damage. I highly recommend Dr. Kim! She really helped me build my strength to the point. I am able to take Pilates classes now at Harmony. ~ Lianne L

I want to give a big thank you to Joyhun a Physical Therapist at this clinic. My Grandson was injured with a severe shoulder dislocation while snowboarding in California. His injury was severe and he had to be transported by ambulance. Upon his return to Hawaii he immediately started his therapy with Joyhun and within a little over a month of treatments he has completely recovered. I am happy to send a big thank you to his Therapist and to Harmony Pilates and Physical Therapy. I have one happy Grandson who is now able to return to the sports he loves. ~ Joanne S

Juyhun is absolutely amazing. I've been attending physical therapy with her for nearly a year. Her knowledge about the body, interconnected systems, and insight into the daisy-chain of effects that injuries or issues in one area can roll over into other is absolutely vital to the amazing work she does. From the innovative exercises she comes up with to her perfect pressure as she works with her hands to help heal your body, she's out to challenge your limits and improve your overall wellness. Physical therapy or massage therapy - She's my pick! ~ Teri C

Recently started taking classes at Harmony Pilates and have had a wonderful experience so far. Very clean studio and a nice variety of pilates equipment. Compared to some other pilates studios, I like that Frank really takes the time to explain the purpose of each exercise so you're not just going through the motions, but really understanding why and what muscles you're working. He also points out and works with you to help correct any issues he sees, i.e. posture, alignment etc. You can really tell he is passionate and cares, putting your safety first while also challenging you. ~ Kim

Harmony Pilates and Physical Therapy – A Hidden Gem in Manoa! I had an incredible experience at Harmony Pilates and Physical Therapy in Manoa Marketplace! The location is perfect—easy to find, with plenty of parking and a welcoming atmosphere. As a first-time Pilates student, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Frank made me feel completely comfortable from the start. His expertise, patience, and clear instruction helped me ease into the session while still challenging me in all the right ways. The class was well-structured, and I could tell that all the instructors here are highly competent and genuinely care about their clients’ progress. Now, I won’t lie—I’m definitely feeling the burn today! But it’s the good kind of sore, the kind that makes you want to come back for more. If you’re looking for a top-notch Pilates studio with a welcoming environment and expert guidance, Harmony Pilates and Physical Therapy is the place to be. Highly recommend! 🌟💪🏼 ~ Eric

This Pilates Studio is located in Manoa Marketplace and has 3 levels of classes as well as PT. I have been a Pilates student for over 20 years, and Frank is an amazing coach/teacher/instructor. it is affordable compared to every other studios in Honolulu and in 6 months, you will see and feel your body getting toned, more flexible, and you will have more strength and balance; plus your energy levels increase. I also like that the average ages of attendees is from 25-75, with both men and women attending. ~ Kimberly C

My son, a freshman, plays tennis at a high level. I brought him here after a tennis related injury. I liked the fact that the clinic is located close to the UH Manoa campus and therefore works with some of the UH athletes. I needed someone who knew what they were doing and feel like we totally got that with Fumi. Not only is she a lovely person and a mom herself, she knows what she is doing. In a matter of weeks she got my son back to 100%. He’s back on the court 6 days a week with no pain. Thank you Fumi!!!! So grateful. ~ Dagmara G

The studio has great classes. I was looking for a studio that prioritized getting the pilates aspect correct (some only focus on your "getting a workout" without teaching proper technique). The instructors at Harmony Manoa are all different, but the ones I've tried provide a fun learning environment while focusing on making sure you use your core. The studio's clean (sox required), friendly, and has 7 reformers, so plenty of room. I particularly love the jumpboard classes with Lahela (though maybe I should keep that a secret, lol!). ~ Christine W

Juyhun is an incredibly knowledgeable and thorough physical therapist. I came for PT after a fall. Juyhun was immediately able to target my balance issues. She incorporated core, upper and lower body strengthening and balance exercises into building confidence for possible different situations! I still have a way to go but I feel confident that with Juyhun’s expertise my goals will be reached. I am over 80 and I have never had a better Physical Therapist! ~ Mildred S

Harmony Pilates experience with Frank has been exceptional, especially from a beginners standpoint and coming with a previous injury. Having one on one time has given me time to gain strength both physically and mentally. I am ready and looking forward to my first class. I highly recommend investing in the new client package you are worth it! Harmony Pilates is so welcoming and provides a safe and nurturing learning ground. Thank you Frank and Stacey! ~ Judith H

Fumi came highly recommended to me by a fellow pilates instructor. My sessions were awesome. She did a great job helping me see my patterns with my hip, knee, foot alignment. Her at home exercises were specific for me and my unique at home equipment. I really enjoyed my PT sessions. Fumi is super knowledgable, easy to talk with and has a really great attitude about healing the body. Im still doing her at home exercises and my knee pain is totally gone! Yippie! ~ Heidi H

It was such a blessing when I found this Pilates studio. Samantha is a gifted instructor with just the right mix of patience, careful instruction, pace and fun. There's always time for new students or ones who are just getting used to the equipment, while more experienced folks never feel neglected. Samantha offers not only a complete and balanced workout, but also the inspiration to start at your own level, and keep getting stronger and better. ~ Iain W

I’ve had a wonderful experience at Harmony Pilates & Physical Therapy. Coach Frank is welcoming, professional, and genuinely attentive to your individual needs. I really appreciate that he take the time to listen, explain what they’re doing, and tailor the treatment and exercises to what will help you most. I feel comfortable, supported, and well cared for during my visits. I’m excited to attend my classes every single time! Highly recommend!! ~ Jo A

This place is awesome the equipment, the scenery and the management is of the highest quality and especially the physical therapists Juyhun Kim the therapist I was assigned to for the last 6 months provides the best service you can ask for! She is extremely knowledgeable, skillful and respectful and could not ask for a better therapist to be assigned to!!! This place is a easy 5 stars for me I would recommend this place for anyone. ~ HawaiiCitizen 8

Harmony has provided excellent physical therapy services for me. I have seen 2 PT's at Harmony and both were excellent. I am now seeing Fumi Hill and she is really outstanding. I have a long history of PT for lower back issues and Fumi's therapy has been really excellent and much more helpful than others I have seen. I also like the ambience of the studio and all the Harmony staff are very friendly. ~ bamavic

Recently i had 2 rounds of physical therapy with Juyhun for My back pain and Neck: shoulder pain. It was really helpful. She uses different tools and equipment and teach me different stretches and poses to continue apply at home to strengthen and train muscles. Also she knows when to push hard to my limits or when to slow down and relax. She ends sessions with massages. Her massages are really good. 👍 ~ jungmi k
