My review from Google:
I had a class about a week ago with Faith. She's a very sweet girl, and I have no qualms about her. You can tell she was simply doing as instructed. Now the studio and the owner on the other hand.....let's talk about it. Firstly, when I came in and checked in, I was forced to pay for these overpriced socks that are supposed to support you but really do nothing. Please do not let them lie to you, you do not NEED grippy socks to use the reformer. You can do it barefoot. This isn't my first rodeo with Pilates, so I just observed to see what they were telling people, and the fact that they would force people to purchase something when there was no disclaimer that we'd have to purchase socks (it simply said socks HIGHLY recommended) was extremely off putting.
Next, they do not do ANY type of safety tutorial. No hello, welcome to class, here's what we're doing today, They just start class. The instructor gave minimal demonstrations, we weren't informed on how to use and change the springs, which I later found out is due to the studio forcing you to have a private lesson if you buy directly through them before they allow you in a group class. Please do not let this studio lie to you and take your money. You don't need a private lesson first, and there are so many other amazing studios in Charlotte where you'll receive quality instruction for much less, you won't be scammed out of extra money, and you won't be treated like you're just another dollar to the studio. This studio was underwhelming, overpriced, and the workout was bland.
No culture or community whatsoever!
I also want to add, after posting my review on Google, the owner replied with no acknowledgement of what was actually said, and even went on to say "Our policies are in place for everyone even if you personally feel they aren't necessary". Wish I would've gotten the memo on the grippy socks so I didn't waste my time. Also that "many studios in Charlotte require a private lesson". Very untrue as I've visited many studios around Charlotte. This owner is a liar and obviously wants to grift extra money from consumers.
Don't waste your time with a studio where the owner isn't even willing to admit their faults! There is no disclaimer saying grippy socks are REQUIRED anywhere on the site and via Class Pass. Only that it's highly recommended.
And if they require a private lesson first, they should get off of ClassPass again taking peoples money without giving proper and adequate service.
NEVER coming back to this bland studio. read more
