My husband and I have been doing Pilates for years. Both of us are disabled veterans and it’s something I credit with getting me back to exercise in a safe way. Pilates was built by J oseph Pilates to treat military injuries after all. In the past we’ve had instructors who are attentive, hands on, and when explaining a move give modifications and warnings if it’s a move that can be dangerous. Some of the instructors here like Wade are like that but most are not and because they take on more memberships than their schedule can handle, it became extremely frustrating considering the high cost of it.
Most of the time, even if you book the minute your classes are released, the unlimited members have already snapped up the good instructors and you are left with classes that don’t fit a working persons schedule or classes you don’t want. This is something that was discussed with them during multiple months and they seemed to think the answer was waiting lists, but I can’t run my busy life based on whether I will get into a class the same day. If I’m looking 30 days in advance I shouldn’t have to get on multiple wait lists with the hope I’ll get into 30% of them or try to rearrange my schedule last minute so I don’t have unused credits. Never did they offer to release our credits early after months of mentioning issues. Looks like in a response to another negative review they said that. We asked if that was possible and were told no.
The classes run by Renee seem to always have empty spots or availability or are easy to get off the waitlist, but quality of instruction is low. After injuring my back multiple times in her class (despite me generally knowing modifications and proper form from previous years of instruction), I had to cancel my membership and be told I’d still have to pay for classes I was medically unable to use. My husband has knee replacements and balance issues and yet Renee and others don’t ask about any issues, or they do, and then proceed to correct people when they try to modify for what they CAN do or do a routine that excludes that individual from participating. Several times we’ve felt scolded like children for not doing a move right when the issue was medical issues or the instructor not knowing how to cue moves. It would be better to stick to safe moves with high reps than Constantly be switching equipment and trying to explain exercise in a rushed manner. That’s where injury happens. It’s also isolating when you are the only one who can’t fully participate. β¦ β show
Than you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear that you have had less than a stellar experience at our studio. Customer service and safety are our top priorities at this studio. We understand that weekend classes are very popular and do fill up quickly. You mentioned the waitlist option is not ideal, however we offer the opportunity to pay your bill earlier, so you can be issued your credits sooner to book in advance. We are your resources here at the studio, so please reach out with your situation so we can assist you in getting booked into your desired classes. We truly value you and Phil as members of the studio. Thank you for your feedback. Please reach out directly to Alexandriagm@clubpilates.com and we're happy to discuss solutions for you!

Thank you Fiona and Renee.
Here with my favorite Instructor Renee!
Either way, my gripe is it's 100 bucks per month yet these days I can't even get a saturday class. There are About 4 classes every Saturday(my free day), class starts at 9 am ends at 1pm, (why onlye arly) compared to monday's 8 classes which ends at 9pm. I've whined before but they haven't switched up the schedule in forever, so you have to literally book weeks in advance for saturdays. This isn't a doctor's appointment, it's a pilates class, one you're literally paying 100+ for EVERY month. The next free Saturday is the 26th, today's the 11th. Don't let them sell on the the waiting list, people USED to drop off it, but these days it gets so rare to get a class people would rather lose a credit than give up a spot.
To sum it up, I liked pilates, i thought it was dope. Healthy and fun. But a BIG part of their brand was being a friendly space and being something to look forward to every week. Without those important factors it's felt more like a limp gym membership that you can't cancel online so you end up writing a bad review hoping to cancel it next time you're in person. β¦ β show
Due to the popularity of weekend classes, we ask that you utilize the waitlist feature on the app. Upon reviewing your account, I see that you have either been added to classes from the waitlist or you have cancelled your booking prior to the class day. Majority of our members who remain on the waitlist do in fact get into classes and you will be notified via email when this occurs. If you need your credits released early, we can help you at the front desk. I hope this helps! If you need further assistance, please stop by front desk and we're happy to help! β¦ β show
Jennifer is an Amazing instructor. Really enjoying workout with her.
But the classes itself are worth it! If I didn't lose my job I would have kept going since the instructors are cool and have engaging classes that are extremely helpful
I am a newbie to Pilates and now I love it. All the instructors at this location are fantastic, makes the workouts fun, challenging, and most of all rewarding to the body. In just 3 short weeks, I have started to notice changes in my body and my energy levels. I can’t go without it now. Do your body some good and sign up today. You won’t be sorry.
