So I usually find myself at the Alamo location and so I think my review is based off of having a much better time at the other location. I think I was very bummed with this location for a couple of reasons: 1. You have no idea where you are in terms of half way through the class or anywhere near that. At the Alamo location, they have a projector up on a wall telling you the flow of the class maneuver by maneuver. 2. PARKING SUCKS!!!!!! You literally have to pay for parking here and although that may be normal for Oakland natives, it's not coming from more inland East Bay. I actually didn't come with a card or cash so I had no way to pay which led me to going into a liquor store and getting some coins. The machine then ate my coins! Luckily, I asked someone if I could Venmo them the $1.50 but she was so kind and ended up just paying for me. Although she was a lifesaver, I do feel like that should be posted somewhere in the app to let people know. 3. The front desk person was not at all helpful and I felt like I was bothering her when I asked her what I could do about the parking situation. All and all I don't see myself coming back to this location due to the parking situation and the lack of welcoming presence from the front desk. read more

BodyRok is my favorite place to work out, and I particularly enjoy attending classes at the Height Street studio. It's very conveniently located and you can't really find other comparable gyms/workout studios in the neighborhood. It's also close to many different bus lines and ~10 mins from the N. I've been a member for going on 4 years and still find the classes challenging, yet engaging! There's always an opportunity to add weights if you'd like to make it harder or modify if something isn't feeling right! read more

Love Bodyrok, it's a great workout and a good studio. I have really liked all the instructors I have taken. The combination of Pilates, weights/strength training and low impact cardio have been great for my body and health. So bodyrok has been a great addition to my world. A few pieces of feedback... Some of the reformers are missing certain weights and attachments. Definitely an opportunity to get these fixed so everyone has the same experience. There is no phone number to call online (that is actually working) if you need help with a reschedule or scheduling error. It's pretty annoying but they are fairly response via email. Wish there was a quicker way of getting in touch with someone. Lastly, I wish there was a better balance of the flow of the workout and education on good form of the moves. 1. So that you are getting the benefit of the move and 2. So you don't potentially hurt yourself especially if you are brand new or in beginner stages. In my experience it's not consistent across all instructors which I hope changes as a bodyrok policy. But all around, love coming to the workout, the environment and will definitely keep coming back. read more

BodyRok - Haight Studio - Pilates Near Me - San Francisco, California

they told me i couldn't stand on a public sidewalk . i was waiting for an uber and the lady at desk came out and said i couldn't wait on the sidewalk read more

I came here on ClassPass and was warmly welcomed into the studio by Candace! She was super attentive and walked me through the basics and also gave me modifications for my injury. I loved that Candace was high energy and demonstrated every single exercise. I had such a great experience that I ended up trying out their first month promo. I do feel like the studio could do a better job of deep cleaning the machines (I often see lint or stray hairs on the machines). I've also found that my experience has been very instructor dependent. Some instructors are more focused on correcting form, while others have not been. I've also had some classes where certain poses are held for a very long time, which makes the class a lot less enjoyable. Overall, I've loved coming here for a low impact workout that really pushes my boundaries every time while being under 1 hour! read more

My body feels and looks amazing!!! I would highly recommend this place if you have 45 minutes read more

I came here on classpass with my friend and this was our first pilates class after a while. Our instructor Ashley was incredible and explained the machines in the beginning and was kind throughout! However, the class was a faster pace than my friend and I would've liked so that's definitely something to keep in mind if you're a beginner, especially since everyone else really knew what they were doing. The studio was great otherwise and super clean and spacious. read more

I've been going to BODYROK over the last year and love these workouts. A quick 45 mins but the instructors challenge you to make the most of it. I still get sore to this day lol I highly recommend if you are trying to get toned or need a good stretch. The staff here is also really friendly and the instructors help you throughout the class if you want it. read more

I've always wanted to try a pilates reformer class and I'm glad I found this place on Classpass so I can try it for free as it was my very first time doing machine pilates and wasn't sure how I would like it. Right away, the studio was pretty nice and I was checked in easily. I was able to purchase grip socks there for around $12 which is required. I was pretty nervous for my first time but the teacher, Eric, showed me everything on the machine and I prepared myself for this high energy 45 min workout. Since I have done mat pilates before, a lot of the workouts I was familiar with but was still getting used to using the machine. Eric helped me all throughout the workout showing me how to do each workout correctly and what weight to use, how to have correct posture, etc. Yes this pilates class kicked my butt for my first time, but it was a great experience and great workout. I'm glad the instructor helped me and made me feel comfortable the whole time. I would definitely try this pilates class again and this is something that would be fun to do with your friends too. Thank you and it was a fun, high energy workout in a clean trendy studio on Haight Street. read more

I've come here for Pilates classes a few times, and it's definitely a great workout. Because I have a knee injury, the instructors were always able to provide modifications for me to help alleviate any unnecessary pressure on it. However, I've found that my experiences are very instructor dependent. I have had a few times where I'd be doing exercises incorrectly but only be given corrections in future classes. I think this is a good class if you kind of know what you're doing but a bit hard for a beginner to pick up. read more

Marissa welcomed three of us newbies and really brought the spice! Great class, thanks!

Fun classes, easy to show up for and get through with only a forty-five minute time commitment. I'm forgetful as hell and they always have extra hair ties and grip socks for purchase (but damn, do we really need the grip socks??) and I've enjoyed most of my classes. Not to be tough on some teachers, but my first class was super underwhelming and I've realized it was definitely the teacher. Absolutely give a variety of teachers a shot because they are not all created equal. read more

BodyRok - I thought this was a rundown (maybe condemned?) building just turns out it's a trendy Pilates studio. Who knew? - Pilates Near Me - San Francisco, California

Great spin workout. Venessa was a great and motivating instructor. I would take her class again if she taught at a different studio. The spin classes have bikes that calibrate your potential and progress throughout the session. It would be motivating if I could keep a rhythm and maybe if I were a spin pro. The colors on the machine/monitor inform those working out of their progress and how much they're pushing. The instructions were given fast, too fast to process what all of the colors mean, so I just wish there was some sort of legend on the monitor. THE SERVICE THOUGH... Working out is intimidating enough for some people. Me included. I registered for the class via Classpass. This was my second spin class. Ever. Soul Cycle being the first. 1) The guy at the front desk seemed annoyed that I wasn't aware of the studio's process and that I didn't know what kind of classes were offered. 2) He failed to tell me I could use regular shoes for spin (granted I walked in half asleep). 3) He didn't bother to tell me to pick a bike with non-clip in shoes. These are all little things, but make a big deal for customer service. It just made for an experience that was awkward and off-putting than most studios I've been to. I likely won't be back. read more

After several years away from Bodyrok, I returned and am fairly impressed. The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly (Heather is my fave!). Some are better at queueing than others, but after a few classes, I got the hang of it. And most instructors will give modifications if you let them know of injuries ahead of time. I've been enjoying classes (my legs and abs feel like jello after each class) and will keep it up! read more

Just LOL Terrible customer service and management. Arrived on time, was NOT told that when I check in I would need to claim a seat - because a reservation online apparently is not enough. My place was given to someone on the waitlist who arrived there at the same time as me. My only option according to them was to pay a late cancellation fee or stay checked in and contact ClassPass, instead of resolving it there. Also sure, blame my friend for not reserving my seat - I must have missed the "first come first serve" mixed with "book online" policy. read more

I've taken a few classes here through class pass and have really enjoyed cycling with Megan and the full body sculpt classes. Megan is awesome - she gets really into the workout and cultivates lots of good, high energy that helps you to burn through the pain of spinning. Her music selection is on point with the vibe of the workout, and she does a fantastic job of setting the environment by adjusting the lights during certain segments. The sculpt classes use the reformers, which will kick your ass if you're not used to this type of workout. Equipment is in great condition, ventilation is adequate, and there are lockers big enough to fit a regular sized backpack that are available for use. This place is right off of haight-ashbury, so parking is limited to street and is overall pretty limited. I would recommend taking the bus (6,7) or ubering, or walking if you live in the hood. Check this place out, guarantee you'll leave with more lactic acid than you came in with. read more

I recently moved to San Francisco and was looking for a good workout class for after work. I came upon BodyRok after using ClassPass for a few weeks and instantly got hooked. The workouts are only 45 minutes, yet they feel so effective! I swear even after just one week of going almost every day in a row I feel stronger and more confident. All of the instructors seem very qualified and have good workout flows! If you love yoga/Pilates I would definitely try this place read more

Oh my goodness! Who invented these torture devices?! I just took a class over the weekend with Auburn. I came in 5 minutes late and jumped into the class. I didn't get much acknowledgement from the instructor nor did she come over to check form or adjust me. The work out was definitely challenging. I wished I would have had a little more guidance and hands on help. The studio is bright, clean, lockers to store your items, easy to find, small class sizes and the machines are close to the mirror, so you're able to check your alignment. read more

The aesthetic of Bodyrok seems really off compared to the rest of Upper Haight. It definitely seems more like a Marina or Pacific Heights-type establishment and sure enough, I've just seen it mentioned in another review that they have a Marina location. Still, I love a good Pilates class and stopped by today to at least give them a chance before writing them off. I live up the street and have been shopping around for a gym or class to attend regularly for a good workout. "Hi, do you have a price list?" I asked a woman at the front desk. "No, but if you check online you can see our pricing there!" She said immediately. Her tone was cheery but her response was dismissive. I immediately felt out of place, just for having shown up in person. Then I looked down. To see a framed price list. The rates for new clients is actually pretty reasonable, at $20 for your first class after signing up and other affordable packages for the first month. I looked away from the price list to consider the actual space. It's stark and bright, and was primarily populated by blonde-haired women whose dolphin-like voices filled the room with a high-pitched, SoCal-inspired lilt. Suddenly didn't feel like asking any further questions, for some reason. Bodyrok must be satisfied with their current clientele, as gaining new members doesn't seem to be all that important to them. read more

If you're looking for a relatively quick, total body low impact workout, look no further. Almost always challenging, BodyRok will work your core, muscles, endurance and balance. Take a little extra time getting there to find parking. read more

I was taken aback by the receptionist who was asking me about my history with Pilates/Yoga and then told me that I wouldn't be "Strong enough to make it through the class". I've taken many classes at various studios and haven't ever had someone tell me what my capabilities are or that I wouldn't be able to make it through something I paid money and signed up to do. If you're someone who practices regularly it might be for you? Newcomers, I'd steer clear. read more

First time doing pilates at BodyRok and it was so much fun! Kathleen was a great and motivating instructor. The class had many newbies and she was very helpful and patient with each person. She would go around and make sure their posture and form was correct, and made sure to get to know people's names. At the end of the class, she went and checked on the newbies to see how they liked it. It was a great and challenging workout! I can feel the burn already. read more

BodyRok is so.fun.!!! I worked across from the one in the Marina for years, but was too intimidated to go. But when one opened up in the Haight and there was a free class, I decided to try it and now I'm hooked! I'm not gonna lie, the first one was hard and intimidating, but after a few you get used to the machines and your muscles start to get stronger. Have only been to Erin H.'s classes and they're great. She's obviously been doing this for awhile and has her routines down pat. The 40 minutes fly by and then you get to walk home - legs shaking and dripping sweat. It's.awesome. read more

Very clean facility with new equipment and Ysabel was a great instructor and gave clear directions. They have spacious lockers, changing rooms, and bathroom but no shower. It's nice that they provide hand towels so just bring water! Don't worry if you've never used a revolver before, they'll go over it and tell you what to do. Overall, it was nice to get a 40min workout in. Would def recommend! read more

I came back to try this studio again and glad I did - had a positive experience. Thank you to the team and coaches for a great workout. Lots of sanitary cleaning supplies, sanitizer, soap, etc. The workout is also awesome and vibe / energy of coaches are stellar! read more

Great location for a BodyRok. Easy parking, across from great grocery store with parklet and other places to snack after a workout. The instructors are great here and the class size is smaller than in Marina. As always, BodyRok is a great quick workout read more

As the name suggests, i, a mother of 9 children, has lost my 'zing' and my body, is constantly changing. I have aquired kidney stones, that are bodyrokin. this studio has been very kind to me read more

Worst instructors ever. I read bad reviews and thought it wasn't true. But honestly they suck. No introductions. No help throughout. Ignore this place!! Lindsey is the worst. Honestly girl needs to do a 101 class on how to be an instructor. The classpass reviews on her were right. read more

My favorite place to do Pilates! I'm obsessed with the equipment at Bodyrok. The combination of state of the art equipment, fun music and awesome instructors makes this class a must-do. Make sure you go see Sara H - the girl is full of energy and knows her stuff! read more

I love BodyRok and the team, always a great work out in such a short class. Anyone who can get through every move of the class is a saint in my eyes. They have stepped up their game with the teachers and often a stand by to give you great tips on positioning and technique! read more

I came here last week for the first time through ClassPass. It was a good muscle toning class. The instructor was informative and really nice. Not a class for heart pumping/cardio, but still tough. read more

I have been attending classes at this studio for over a year. I started with Pilates, which I am a big fan of, but the real life-changer has been their Power Cycle class. Having never taken cycling, I wasn't sure what to expect, but it's now my favorite way to work out. I take Power Cycle 3-4 times a week and I find it extremely rewarding. The classes are a little pricey, to be honest, but if you hold out they regularly run promotions for class packages that are definitely worth the value (ex: $149 for 30 days of ulimited classes). However, I pay the slightly-too-steep-price because it's very close to my house so for me the convenience is worth the cost. Most of their instructors are great. They know how to keep you motivated, find creative ways to ensure you are challenged, and more often than not their playlists hit the target. I say most because, while I hate to put anyone on blast, there is one spin instructor who I recommend you avoid. Venessa is very nice, but she often times seems more focused on being able to challenge herself to stay on the bike during her instruction than ensuring her class understands what's going on. She doesn't give examples when explaining choreography and she gets so distracted that she tends to miss at least two reps of choreography/class. She also doesn't count down to changes in pace or when choreography is supposed to start. She also calls moves be the wrong name and the only motivation she gives is "I want you to go for it." Which I've learned sometimes means that you're supposed to be sprinting, or adding weight, though she never specifies. The unfortunate thing is that she seems to be a sub, so you may not know you are taking her class until it's too late. I've eaten a $12 late cancel fee just to avoid taking her class. Overall, I would (and have!) recommend BodyRok. However, if it's your first time, or you are paying per class, do not sign up for Venessa's class, you'll be lost and you won't get your money's worth. read more

I've been taking the full body sculpt classes at BodyROK for the past month, and love how challenging they are. I tried the Haight Street location this past Sunday, where Jocelyn was subbing for the 8:40 a.m. class. She is an amazing instructor, and so full of motivational energy. It helps to have encouragement when you feel like you've reached your limit, and holding for another 10 seconds seems like an impossible feat. I really liked the flow of her class, and the transition between exercises was easy to follow. 40 minutes went by in a flash, and every muscle in my body was shaking by the end of class. It was the perfect way to start the day. If you have the opportunity to take a class with Jocelyn, I would highly recommend it! read more
