Don’t fall for influencer hype. Pilates will not help you lose weight and will take longer to see results

I tried Pilates for nearly a year, attending unlimited 1.5 level classes and higher levels five times a week. Despite maintaining a healthy diet, I did not see any significant results. I'm naturally skinny, so you would expect some changes to show. However, I found that Pilates was not effective in helping me achieve my fitness goals. For those with a bigger frame, it may be even more challenging to see results with Pilates unless taking jump classes. In my experience, weight lifting yielded better and faster results. I recommend trying Pure Barre or other workouts that may be more effective for your body type. Overall, I felt that Pilates was a waste of money, but I did enjoy the stretch classes that I would take on my rest days.

Love, love, love Club Pilates! The app makes scheduling your classes super easy and convenient. Staff are very nice and welcoming of all body types. My daughter, my sister and I all signed up together. Pricing is affordable - at first I bought 4 classes/mo for around $100. But we loved it so much we upgraded to $220/month for unlimited classes. Classes are different with each instructor and I love the reformers we use which helps you get the form down perfectly. Can't say enough great things!

I’ve been going here for about 4 months now and I am now a Pilates believer! The variety of the different type of workout classes offered is great and I’ve seen visible and positive changes in my body as it relates to toning and definition. The instructors here are all very personable and likeable. I like how they challenge you in a way that isn’t aggressive or intimidating. I went from 8 classes/month to the unlimited membership on my third month. I won’t look back! Try Pilates and, more specifically, try it here!

I’m a 64 year old woman who was told by my Dr to start exercising. She said Pilates would be perfect for me. I joined Club Pilates and can’t believe the difference in my joint aches, flexibility and muscle tone. I will be a member for life! The instructors are fabulous and the desk workers are awesome.

I've been attending classes for 5 months now, and they are the highlight of my day! If you're a beginner, I highly recommend classes with Bridget. She's gives clear instructions, fun and very patient. Dawn is also wonderfully patient and offers kind feedback. The first few months can feel challenging as you're building muscles, adjusting to the moves, and getting used to different instructors. My advice is to stick with it; it's worth it!

Initial Impressions (If you had asked me 2 weeks after starting)
✅ clean facility
✅ better than traditional gym - I enjoyed the ease of trusting instructors to lead the 'workout' vs. figuring out what to do at a gym, and having to wait around for weights/ machines

Challenges I faced initially:

Booking Classes:
❌ Classes book fast! During my first month, it was difficult to get into any classes because they were always fully booked, which was frustrating.
✅ Once you establish a routine, you'll be able to sign up ahead of time. People often drop classes, and you'll move off the waitlist. If your schedule is unpredictable or constantly changing, this could be a concern.

Instructor Communication Styles:
❌ Initially, I struggled with the different communication styles of instructors. There were some instructors I didn't click with at first.
✅ Give all the instructors a chance. After 5 months, I can say they are all good, just with different methods for addressing corrections (e.g., sarcasm, whole group callouts etc.). Admittedly, this was difficult for me to overcome initially. There were some classes I left feeling unsuccessful, causing me to feel insecure the following classes and initiating a cycle were I was not preforming well and ultimately wanting to quit. Again, give them all a chance...even after a few weeks. You will get to know each instructor. You will grow in strength and ability, and through that gain confidence in your self and recognize that corrections (no matter the delivery) are meant to keep you safe and ultimately advance your skills.

After 5 moths: ✅I have gained muscle, feel healthier, and get better sleep ✅Genuinely look forward to class

I went to the intro class a couple years ago and knew I found the workout program for me. My flexibility and strength have improved immensely. The different levels and variety of classes keep it challenging and fun. The instructors and the front desk staff are all friendly and helpful.

I am a huge fan of Club Pilates! The instructors are well trained and care about all of us! It is a great workout and you do see results!!

I have been with Club Pilates for almost two months now and I would recommend it to anyone! After taking the intro class, I was worried that it wouldn't be an effect workout because it felt "too easy" and that there wouldn't be enough classes available to fit in my day-to-day schedule. I'm so glad that I bit the bullet by investing in the unlimited class pass because I've overcome all my doubts.

All of the instructors are extremely friendly and helpful so don't let being a "beginner" intimidate you (coming from someone who has major gym anxiety).
