    First timer to reformer pilates, and recently completed 30+ classes. I've enjoyed it so much that I upgraded my membership to unlimited! I was on the hunt for a pilates studio. I took an intro class at Club Pilates and BodyBar. BodyBar was a clear winner. Few reasons why: - Studio looks nicer, more modern. There is a mirror in the front of the class - this has been helpful so I can look at my form. CP has mirrors but most of the time your back is facing it. You are facing another person - I don't prefer their set up. Especially the cubbies by the front door. - Management at BB is friendly. At the intro class, one of the girly's forgot her socks, and the owner Nick, gave them to her for free. - The manager at CP gave a speech after the intro class on how pilates benefited her - it appeared sales-like. - At CP intro class, we put our feet in straps. This was my first time ever - my tailbone lifted off the carriage, and the instructor said I need to get stronger. She kept asking us for feedback after each exercise "like if we felt a stretch in our hamstring, glutes, etc.)" but I didn't feel it in those areas. Others didn't as well. - I've taken CP classes through ClassPass (cheaper this way than their membership) and the flow of class isn't as seamless as BB. BB focuses on legs, arms, and core blocks and there are smooth transitions into each. - BB plays better music. - BB has chic apparel. Cool activities/events (bingo, date night, etc). - CP continued to text me after I attended the intro class to schedule another intro class. I told them I already went and they said they will look into it? I'm not sure why there was confusion. - Memberships are the same price. - All the instructors at BB are knowledgeable. They provide modifications for the exercises or welcome a lighter spring, if needed. I mainly go evenings/weekends - Jasmyn's classes are my favorite. - I've seen an improvement with my flexibility and arm strength. My glutes look more lifted. - Comfortable, feels welcoming. I look forward to going. I hope this review helps those when picking a studio in the elk grove area.

There was more than just me who was new but I was the only one she came up to and said you ever used weights above your head? I wanted to take this personal but I kept on thinking she is just trying to be kind. Then she told me are you sure you want 3lb pound weights you can do 2lb? Then she came up to me and said you not doing this smoothly. I was the only person over 200 pounds in the room and the only person she was correcting. Then she came over again and said you're working pretty hard going fast I think you are going to be too sore tomorrow. That was it for me I left 20 minutes into the class. I would understand if I was breathing heavy or struggling but I hadn't even broken a sweat. I am disappointed in this instructor. I am also disappointed in a business who would not teach proper phone etiquette as well. The instructor answered her phone two minutes before the class and was talking on a personal call. I would come back and give a different instructor a try but I am honestly not happy that an overweight person was targeted. I work out at another Pilates studio in town ( sweat fitness) and they have never made me feel uncomfortable. I thought about trying reform Pilates because I heard good things but this experience was rough! Shout out the the front desk girl who told me to write a review and gave me socks because I didn't have grip socks. I am sad it's not a good review but when the instructor only comes to you in 20 minutes of the class and is targeting me I had to be honest. The girl next to me could not even get the form correct but she was thin so nothing was said to her. Club Pilates Elk Grove do better!

After consistently taking their yoga, Pilates, weights, stretching, and boxing classes, I'm now 170-180 lbs and feel stronger, more energized, and nearly pain-free. I burn around 800-900 calories in the Pilates/weights classes and use yoga and stretch classes to recover, which is an amazing balance for building muscle, improving stamina, and increasing flexibility. The infrared heat helps me warm up safely and avoid injuries. The staff here is incredibly friendly, supportive, and committed to helping you become your best self. They'll push you, encourage you, and celebrate every step of your journey. Highly recommend joining if you're ready for real results.

    This studio has genuinely become a special place for me…read more I've taken classes with most of the instructors here, and every single one has been welcoming, supportive, and truly focused on their clients. They motivate without pressure and always remind you to slow down, breathe, and surrender to the mat. In a joking way, I tell people that all of them have become my therapists, because somehow they always share the exact words I need at the right time. Over time, I've come to really see and hear the instructors and the heart they put into every class. I appreciate them more than they probably realize. Walking in feels less like going to a workout and more like showing up to see family. What stands out most to me is the awareness of mental health and emotional wellbeing. The way they combine movement, breath, and mindfulness makes each class feel like much more than just a workout. It truly feels like a space to heal. On a personal note, this studio has become an important part of my sobriety journey. The grounding, the sweat, the stillness, and the encouragement have helped me process, reset, and keep choosing healthier paths. I leave feeling clearer, calmer, and supported. If you're looking for a studio that challenges you physically while supporting you as a whole person, this is the place. I'm so grateful I found it. Thank you Carrie, Rodney, Mary, Amy, Lowella, Asnah, Vicky, Vanessa, Ron, Hallie, Lilian, Laura, Lydda, and the rest of the amazing Uplift team. From the bottom of my heart to yours, namaste.

I'm able to work on my flexibility, core, and strengthen my muscles every time I visit. The place itself is beautiful. They have street parking, however, I always find a spot for class.

Her passion truly shows! Every instructor is phenomenal, but I have to give a special shoutout to Molly, she's my absolute favorite! Her classes are thoughtful, challenging, and always leave me feeling stronger and more connected to my body. The level of instruction is truly unmatched - they don't just lead you through movements, they guide you, explain how you should feel in each exercise, when to breathe, how to align, and they correct your form in the kindest and most encouraging way. Each class is different, and I always leave having learned something new. It truly breaks my heart to be moving away from Humani, because I know no other studio will compare. Humani has honestly set the bar so high. If they ever open a studio in Marin, I'll be first in line and a customer for life. No question!!! Until then, I'll be soaking in every last class over the next few weeks before I go and will absolutely be back every time I visit family. Thank you, Maria, Molly, Charlotte and the entire Humani team, for creating such a beautiful, intentional space. This place will forever have my heart.

    I came here for a trial class for iso. Never heard of Hotworx before until doing this class…read more Essentially the concept is, is that you get to attend recorded classes 24/7, but the classes are in saunas. You have to turn on the sauna for maybe 5-10 minutes so it can warm up to your desired temperature. They recommend the sauna be 120F for best results. There are different types of workouts, and from what I remember there was cycing, glutes, and iso--just to name a few. Each sauna room seems to accommodate up to 3 people. You can reserve a class ahead of time and complete your workout. The more workouts you complete and the more calories you burn, you earn points to redeem towards items. The iso workout was like 30-45 minutes long. It was actually very challenging. For a workout in which I usually would be able to complete outside of a sauna, inside of the sauna, it was WAY harder, and I came out of the workout DRENCHED in sweat. Outside of the rooms, there are cubbies where you can place your items in. They have cameras on the inside of the building so that can help with the safety of your items in the cubbies. They do offer little life alert lanyards that you can bring into your workout in case you're alone and worry about your safety--whether from the workout or your personal safety. I highly recommend bringing your water bottle and a towel (they do provide towels but there may be a charge). You WILL get easily dehydrated because you are sweating so much. However, the sweating made me feel very relaxed at the end of the workout. I would love to do their workouts again in the future. Some criticisms I saw when I read about the Hotworx workouts in figuring out if I should join or not, is that the workout videos don't change very often and that people wished the instructors provided alternate movements for movements that may be more difficult for people. Just some things I've noticed in figuring out if I should commit to classes. The staff were very friendly in explaining how the facility runs. Overall, I would recommend Hotworx based off my experiences!

Want to get going but the gym is too expensive or too intimidating or monotonous? Want to find a group to inspire you and make you feel comfortable at the same time? So did I! Mom's In Motion with Wendy Hoag is awesome!!!! I also do not care too much for weight training. Personally I have chronic inflammatory arthritis issues that pulling on weight machines (or in my case, them pulling on me) caused more pain than good. So I was talking to Wendy, and she said I should try Core. I walked into her class with similar reservation as I would the gym, being early on into my metamorphosis I am still so self-conscious to be honest. When I walked out, I felt in a word... AMAZING. Because you know what? The women were awesome, and all in their own stages of their journey. There were women of every fitness level in that class, and we all sweated together, laughed together, and were inspired together. There was no judgment by any women there, except my prejudiced thinking that they would judge me. I was so wrong. Since that first class about a month ago, I can honestly say, I am addicted. Wendy makes it easy enough for beginners and challenging enough for those who are well into their journey. Everyone benefits. I had lost about 17 pounds prior to joining Core, and have lost weight since then, but even more importantly, I have lost inches! It wasn't until after I added Core to my fitness routine that people started noticing. I have learned from my very wise uncle that muscle may weigh more than fat, but it takes up a lot less real estate! It also helps you burn more calories through out your day. So don't neglect strength training, even though your cardio is extremely important to fitness, so is strength! Looking to train to get your run on? Moms In Motion has that trick up it's sleeve too! I completed my first 5K with Moms in Motion. I asked my hubby to join me because I was so scared I would hit the finish line to a rolled up Finish Line banner and the sound of crickets, but guess what? Not only did I not finish last (woo hoo!) but when I crossed the finish line all the other MIM members who finished before me were waiting to cheer me across that line! No woman left behind! This is why I truly love this group. And I truly attribute a lot of my success to varying my workouts with MIM.

As of today, the number still has not been updated on your website or Yelp. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I hope this feedback helps improve communication moving forward. ------------------------------------------ I tried calling Pilax Pilates multiple times regarding an issue with a 10 class Groupon package. Every call went straight to voicemail and I was unable to reach anyone directly. Since I couldn't get through by phone, I reached out on IG. The responses were not helpful. The classes never appeared in my Mindbody account. I mentioned that it wasn't showing in my account and I even tried logging in/out. This should've confirmed that I have an account with them already, but I kept receiving repetitive troubleshooting questions instead of a clear resolution. In addition, the classes are consistently very packed. On multiple occasions, the spacing was so tight that I was physically touching other people's toes, and my toes were being touched too. It felt overcrowded and uncomfortable. While the business did respond to messages, the overall experience felt disorganized and frustrating, especially after already paying for the package. I've had a similar issue in the past and it was also complicated to get the issue resolved. Overall, the customer service has not been helpful, which makes it hard to fully enjoy this studio.
