I like how the classroom sizes are smaller and you can really go at your own pace. I would come regular but it's a little out of my budget. It's always nice when I can go though. Parking is easy. Tons right in front. That's a plus you don't have to worry about!

We laughed and pushed through the class & she was very encouraging/personable which helped. I felt every part of my body activate like never before with any other exercise I've tried. I've done kickboxing in the past, but definitely enjoy this more even though I'm new to it. I try to do everything but the gym haha! So I'm so happy I gave this studio a try. I'll be sore tomorrow for sure but definitely excited to attend more classes.

I absolutely LOVE this studio! Mind you it is the only studio I have ever been to more than once,…read morebut that is beside the point. I felt completely welcomed and at home the first time I set foot in Brandon's studio. The rates are comparable to others I have seen, the hours are awesome, the equipment is extremely nice and the instructors are outstanding! When I first came (about 2 years ago) it was with a friend to try a reformer class. I purchased the "beginners pack" which is an excellent deal (includes matt and reformer classes along with 5 privates... YES I SAID 5 PRIVATES!) Brandon (the owner) asked me about my goals and limitations/why I wanted to try Pilates. He hooked me up with an AMAZING instructor, Kris, who not only has helped me in my practice, but has really helped me with my life. It was like it was meant to be- a serious blessing. All of the instructors are great- and very different. It is well worth mixing it up and taking the different classes and trying privates with each of them. They all have a different vibe, but are all well informed to make modifications for your individual needs. Matt and reformer classes are offered throughout the day, and they even have a TRX class ( I have never taken it but I know it is popular!) I came here with a TON of body drama (physically and mentally), and although I still suffer, my symptoms are SO MUCH BETTER. As I said in my google review, the people who work here genuinely care about you as a person- not just a client. Sometimes I feel like I go just for the vibe/ chit chat instead of the practice :) I HIGHLY suggest checking this studio out if you are in Tacoma. You will not regret it. HOT TIP- I started by attending classes/session 3-4 times a week, then going a little wild (yaaaa maybe I was doing too much), and now back to 3-4... and yes you will notice a huge difference in how your body moves, feels and looks! It totally works!

I've been going to Club Pilates West Tacoma for almost two years, and Angelena is by far my…read morefavorite instructor. Her classes are always challenging, no matter the level, and I always feel like I get a great workout. One of the things I appreciate most about Angelena is how attentive she is during class. She will correct your form when needed and offer alternative exercises if you're dealing with an injury or limitation. I have several injuries, and she always finds modifications that allow me to work the muscles being targeted without aggravating or reinjuring myself. Another favorite of mine is her core workouts; she always includes a challenging core series in every class! If you're thinking about taking a class at Club Pilates West Tacoma, I highly recommend signing up for one of Angelena's classes. She's amazing!

TLDR; I do not recommend Club Pilates to anyone athletic with Pilates experience. The level 2…read moreassessment criteria are not taught in level 1 nor 1.5 classes at this studio. It is absolutely not worth the price. On a personal note: I felt like this was an experience of age discrimination as I was often the youngest person in class and for some reason someone noted "young, able body tho" on my assessment form after they decided to not recommend me for Level 2. (Most of the assessment form wasn't even completed) Full review: I've been an athlete since childhood, have done barre and other Pilates studios for years. I recently moved to Tacoma and decided to try Club Pilates. I am canceling my membership after giving it an honest effort for three months. I have paid nearly $300 per month for the minimum 3 month membership commitment to have unlimited classes (taking between 3-5 classes/week) for mediocre Pilates workouts. My whole goal for this 3 months was to test up to the level 2 classes in hopes of them being challenging and allow me to actually drop a bead of sweat or feel some sort of challenging exercise. Upon signing up for a three month membership, I asked when I could test for the level 2 classes and was told I wouldn't pass since the instructors "didn't know me." This was my first clue into the cult of Club Pilates; why is this form assessment also based on who you "know"? I believe that testing for form is acceptable to deem admission to higher level classes, but NOT when the form is not explicitly taught in class. The level 2 assessment was quite frankly a joke considering the way level 1 and 1.5 classes are taught. I attended class regularly during my 3-month membership trial with hopes of being approved to start attending level 2 classes. To my dismay, the level 2 assessment was full of questions relating to anatomical jargon that is never explicitly discussed in any of the class formats I've taken (Reformer Flow, Control, Cardio Sculpt). I am always open to form-correction, but hardly received any in all the classes I took. I would not recommend Club Pilates to anyone unless they are looking for very leisurely body movement, whether due to older age or mobility issues. Having lived in San Diego, Durham, and Seattle, I have found MUCH better Pilates studios than this one. So far in Tacoma I have found La Maison Pilates which is 10x better in terms of difficulty and they still emphasize form with smaller class sizes. It's a bit more expensive but actually worth the money.

I can confidently say the instructors have given me near life and death experiences every class. If…read moreyou've ever wanted to be an elephant zookeeper and didn't feel like you had the strength to do it. These classes will assist you in that journey If you ever had a nightmare that Ed Gein or other friends like Jeffrey Dahmer might chase you down and make you into a suit. I assure you with their training that you will no longer need to fear that today if you sign up and take the classes consistently. I've been into self mutilation lately in the sense of heavily enjoying sweating out every demon I've ever acquired in my lifetime at their Mat Pilates class Don't let the name fool you it's absolutely the exorcism you've always needed and your mom always wanted you to have for your bad behavior as a child. Highly recommend it if you'd like to sweat out your demons. Every time I leave their class, I don't know if I'm supposed to look the instructor in the eye and think them or flip them the bird because they whooped me in the classroom I'm afraid to make eye contact with other people next to me, knowing that they are equally dying during most of these sessions There are times that I am questioning myself and why I signed up for this but when I look at myself in the mirror, I'm like oh she's snatched The only thing I have to add is don't ever be late because they will lock you out and you will look Hella silly sitting there in your workout equipment knocking on the door don't be late. Be 10 minutes early. And if you think you're gonna be late, just don't show up because you'll look like me big bird on the side of the road trying to get into her hot Pilates class I love when men sign up for these classes because it reminds me why I'm a woman I had the pleasure of witnessing 18 year-old boys sign up for one of these classes and I laid there and laughed for 20 minutes because they all cried So anyway, if you have a fear of serial killers in the state of Washington and would like to be fit, I highly recommend peoples Pilates. I also recommend them if you've acquired many demons in your lifetime and need to sweat them out and or beat them out because they will do that for you without charge.

How's your new year's resolution going? In mood to learn something new, or add something different…read moreto your workout? Are you looking to explore on improving your posture and form while strengthening your muscles? Well I think I have a perfect place for you. Quick background on my personal pilates experience before discovering People's Pilates (they're new in town, opened in Dec 2022!): I tried pilates few years back for about two months (Bellevue Pilates), I did not like it mostly because of the atmosphere- small group in a quiet space, which is expected of this exercise because its low impact and focuses on strengthening and stretching your muscles. Yeah it was boring for me and I never looked back. Pure Barre was more of faster pace with upbeat energy for me so I stuck with it for 2+ years and it was great! Fast forward to 2023, I've been going to Orangetheory Fitness for 6 years now which is more of quick paced and I love it, but I've been looking to add something low impact, a workout that can help me relax my muscles and tensions in my lower-back from repetitive high intensive workout. People's Pilates have highly knowledgeable instructors, they will not bore you to fall asleep on that reformer. They have a comprehensive routine that is various, and I recommend starting off with "Intro to Pilates" class a couple of times, it will help you to be familiar with different parts of the reformer and discover pilates the right way. They also offer classes like Glide&Flow; and Strengthen&Lengthen that focuses more on specific type of workout to improve your unused muscles and help you get in right form. One thing I took away from my initial classes is that your body is going to keep fall in a way that is comfortable with, and that's not always the correct form. People's Pilates instructor helps you to focus on your form first, so that your spine is aligned correctly and that has been a huge help in relieving some tensions I've had in my lower back and glutes. The atmosphere is inviting and friendly so even if you've never done pilates before, its not intimidating at all. They also incorporate different equipment into each workout, so no session is the same as the one before. They offer variety of membership and class packages that you can purchase so that you can try as few classes as you like or as many as you like. Check out their website (or App!). I purchased 3 class pack and have done 4 classes so far, and I must say that I have a whole new perspective on pilates now. Lastly the instructors are super cool and they have a playlist that keeps me moving! No more of that zen pilates that I've tried to fit myself in.

I took the plunge this summer and tried yoga for the very first time right as I was turning 60 -and…read moreI could not have found a better place to begin. From day one, this studio has been incredibly welcoming, encouraging, and genuinely kind. I never felt intimidated or out of place as a complete beginner. Instead, I found instructors who met me where I was, challenged me in all the right ways, and made me feel supported as I learned and grew. What makes this studio so special is that it is much more than a place to take a yoga class. Simply Hot Yoga has created a true community -a caring, loving yoga family. That spirit shows up in every class and through every instructor. The entire team has encouraged me not only in my yoga practice, but also to invest in myself, prioritize my well-being, and recognize that it is never too late to try something new. I am so grateful I walked through those doors last June just weeks before my 60th birthday. What began as me simply trying yoga has become something I genuinely look forward to and value in my life. If you have ever thought about trying yoga but felt hesitant, intimidated, or wondered whether you were "too old" to start, this is the place I would tell you to go. You will be welcomed, supported, and cared for from the moment you arrive. Five stars simply are not enough.

She knows a lot about anatomy and understands the body well so she can make suggestions for modifications to make any exercise easier or more difficult or to make it work for your injuries. I also had a chance to take a class with Vonda and she was fantastic. The front desk staff is also kind of friendly. They have cute merchandise and some drinks and accessories for sale in the lobby. If you're new to Pilates, Reformer Fit Club would be a great place to start. There's no snobbery or gatekeeping, they just want everyone to move their body and enjoy it. If I lived closer, I'd probably be here everyday.

So I walked past this place for a good three months before I finally decided to go in and see what…read moreit was. I danced for 15 years and so I knew that Barre stood for a ballet barre, so I assumed it had to be some type of exercise studio. All of the ladies that work here are super friendly. They have a lot of really great packages and programs. Student discounts, Corporate discounts (if you can get five people to sign up), and New Client Memberships. I decided to try it out and purchased a drop in class which was $18.00. Man! This is not for the faint of heart. I had to modify most of the exercises, and had to take multiple breaks the first couple of weeks. I have always been a pretty active person. I played basketball in college (DII NCAA), and danced. I had been doing CrossFit for 10 months, but had taken a break from it due to multiple surgeries. I also didn't like how bulky I got doing CrossFit or that my WOD only took 20 minutes, and I felt like I hadn't worked out long enough. Barre is completely different. It is very challenging! This is not some Zumba class at your local Y. It is a full hour of circuit style barre/yoga/pilates style exercises. You will get your cardio! Don't worry! You will not stop moving for an entire hour. I love that I get a full body workout and my cardio in an hour. The same workout would take 2 hours of weights and then a two mile run just to get the same feeling. As a mother, I don't have three hours a day to spend at the gym. Barre provides variety to avoid muscle memory, and every class is different. I have been taking all of the 12 o'clock classes during my lunch hour (with the exception of Tuesdays). There are different instructors on different days, but even if you get the same person leading the class the workout is ALWAYS different. I usually have class with Trish or Elizabeth's, and I have done one 4:30 class with Dena. Love all of their styles. They are great. Elizabeth and Trish give modifications and really guide you to challenge yourself, and not give up. I literally feel addicted. I am coming 5 times a week, and I can tell on the days when I don't go that I missed a workout. This isn't a fad workout program, and there are a bunch out there. It is hard work, but if you do it, you wil get the results you want and better! I knew the first time I walked into class and saw a small group of women that looked like dancers that I was in the right place. Not because I look like a dancer, but because I want to look like one! lol I already feel leaner and more flexible. Just try a drop in class, you will be hoooked! It is great, tons of fun, and you will be back.
