I've been coming here for around four years now, and it's been life changing. For the first year or so, I only went once or twice a week, but as I started to progress and get better, I decided it was time to take the plunge and purchase an unlimited membership. It was so worth it! Now, I go religiously to the 7am classes 5 days a week. The more frequently you're able to go to class, the better your results will be, but even when I was just going twice a week I could feel myself getting stronger. You don't have to be a pro or have any previous Pilates experience; the instructors will meet you where you're at and work with you to help you progress over time. Just be sure to let them know if you have any injuries or what your level of experience is. When I first started, I could hardly hold a plank on the reformer without taking a break every couple of seconds, but now I can complete an entire planking series with ease. The instructors here are great (although I really miss Nancy's 7am classes!) Ricardo always manages to kick my butt and make my laugh during class. Stephanie (the owner) was the first instructor I ever had there, and she has been a great motivator for me over the years. Bisi likes to try all sorts of new things in her classes, and she always has the perfect music-- lots of late 90s/early 2000s hip-hop and R&B (and some of my fav Destiny's Child tracks). Ashley is a great motivator and keeps things fun, even when you're sweating a ton. I use the Club Pilates app to book all of my classes, which is super easy to use and guarantees that I always get into the classes I want. They also have fun challenges and events throughout the year, like the Friends Fit Challenge. I've made several friends there over the years, and it's definitely a great community to be a part of. Just be sure you wear grippy socks when you go!
