The instructor was AMAZING!! So encouraging and kind. Everyone was super welcoming and it was fun. Also a great workout, hard but totally doable. The playlist was banging (most important part) very fun read more

Bodyrok - Reformers - Pilates Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

I've been to BodyRok a few times at a few different locations and I have to say that outside of Berkeley, this one would be my favorite. It's very clean and I love the changes in the lighting they use during the classes. The customer service here is really good. Kelsie is the sweetest and always so helpful. And all of instructors that I've had so far have all been great. It's a "push yourself, but no pressure" type setting and I love that as someone that is still getting comfortable with the reformer. I hate that the changing/locker room is so small and I am often times left standing there waiting my turn to grab my things or rushing to get my locker together for a class, but that truly my only complaint. I also wished they could do a better job of airing out the room after a class. --maybe spraying a fragrance/deodorizer. This is a good, convenient location for afterwork and I've because of that, I've been in attendance at least once a week. It's not cheap, but not too expensive. I think I'm paying $35 per class and it's worth it. read more

I've been to a few BODYROK locations and this FiDi one is my fave so far :) I'm not a regular pilates nor reformer pilates goer by any means, but I've never felt too lost during class since the instructors are helpful and attentive. I usually try to let the instructor know beforehand that I'm still getting familiar with the movements, and they usually suggest that I set myself up at the front of the room and/or next to someone who is more experienced. Most instructors tend to check in on me a bit more throughout the class, which is always appreciated. I try to go to daytime classes during the week if I'm available - those classes are a bit quieter and don't get too busy. That being said, even if you went at a "busy" time on a weekday evening or during the weekend, you shouldn't run into issues if you signed up in advance since it's one reformer per person anyway - it just means you might have fewer spot options if you don't arrive early enough. I like the variety of focuses/classes that BODYROK offers, so even though I don't plan to become a regular, I definitely see myself continuing to drop in from time to time in the future. read more

I've been really into Pilates at home so was excited when I saw this Pilates studio was located just .3 miles from my hotel. And as a bonus 4 of my colleagues decided to join for the fun. We made up the majority of Candace's class and she was very welcoming. She asked what goals were and said she would tailor the class to our needs. The reformers looked a little different than what I've experienced back home, but Candace gave us a quick tutorial. The class itself was way more intense than I'm used to and also required a ton of balance. I almost fell a few times, which made me nervous since I'd like to make it back to my Pilates class back home. I definitely felt the burn, but my goodness. One of my colleagues kept giving me the middle finger behind her back for dragging her to class so clearly she felt the same way. I've learned to love Pilates over the past year and it's one of the few non cardio workouts I really like. I definitely prefer my calmer Pilates class back home, but I bet if I kept coming to bodyrok I'd become more of a fan. read more

Bodyrok - Ready to take on our first BODYROK class! - Pilates Near Me - San Francisco, California

Lagree is an awesome workout packed into 45 mins. Clean studio, convenient location and good availability on ClassPass. They have a rotating schedule of classes targeting arms, back, full body, etc. It's a bit darker and has louder music that other pilates studios, and there is some variability across instructors in corrections/adjustments. read more

I'm in my fitness girlie era, and pilates is a hot girl workout, so I've been trying out pilates at different Bodyrok studios around SF. I really like this location! It's very clean, pleasant smelling, and the instructors are nice and enthusiastic. So far, the classes that I've been to here have been pretty packed, so I'd recommend booking ASAP when they release spots if you're also signing up through ClassPass. read more

First time doing pilates with Bodyrok, and it wad great! Super intense, great instruction, and very welcoming. Wanted to bring my boyfriend to pilates, and BodyRok was in a super convenient spot! I'd done pilates in the past, but was super rusty. We booked on the BodyRok website/app, but I highly recommend booking on ClassPass if you can -- just need to wake up early to book! Our instructor Carrie was superb, greeting us at the door since both of us were new. Socks at the door are $18, so highly recommend purchasing grippy socks elsewhere beforehand. Their machines are very slightly different than other reformers, so Carrie took the time to explain how they worked. Super intense class, and will likely still be sore for days after, but will definitely come back again! read more

Tried this studio out for the convenience of the location to work and easy access to Bart/Muni. FYI look for the gold handle doors as it's a bit tucked away and they will close doors if you're even 2 min. late. I'm a ClassPass member who had never tried reformer pilates so I got there 10min early and they took their time explaining everything. It was a Community Class with a new instructor so it was pretty empty and they even made sure to have one of the instructors take the class to show everyone the proper form. Shoutout to Paloma and Nerissa for A+ energy and patience! Really appreciate how some instructors will correct your form and get on the reformer to show the technique. So far so great! I've been back 4x in the past month to this and the Mission studio. There's lockers in the back, two changing rooms / bathrooms , and water station. Similar but more open layout for the Mission location. I would slightly prefer the better ventilation / natural light of the Mission one but the convenience of this location can't be beat. read more

BEWARE 3MONTH EXPIRATION SCAM. I bought a 20pack (+4) on there website during on of their sales, assuming, like every other reasonable gym/studio, it would expire in 12months. Gotcha, 3 months later after having used less than half, I emailed them to see what was going on & they "so generously" explained the 3months expiration & gave me 1 month extra. I did my best to go as much as possible but only being downtown 2/3 days per week, it was impossible. With around 8 or 9 passes left I emailed them again... crickets. I'm done with them. I will stick with pilates on page (Jen's studio much much better) or COREMVMT in the castro (the owner Lisa is lovely, and one time when i moved interstate, she never expired my passes after 18months & I never had to even ask). bye bye BODYROK you're too greedy for me. read more

I've been going to another bodyrok location for a while, so it was my first time checking out this location! This was perfect for working out after a day downtown, and it seemed like a lot of students were coming from work. The changing room and locker space was spacious enough for a nearly full class. I loved that this class had fun overhead mood lighting. The machines also seemed very clean. Carmina had amazing energy and great such good instruction. Would definitely recommend checking out! read more

Bodyrok Pilates is exactly what I do when I need a good work out--I feel stronger, more aligned, and stand taller after each class. The sessions are comprehensive (I'm sore everywhere!), the class size is ideal, and the music and 45-minute length of time is perfect. Nerissa is my favorite teacher! read more

Ok workout. Too much reliance on the machine instead of actually working out your body, plus it's hard on wrists and shoulders. No towels or water fountain, but they have a water bottle refill station. read more

Love this BodyRok studio! The instructors are very friendly and encouraging, the studio is always clean, and the music is always great. My favorite way to start the day! read more

Took reformer pilates for the first time with Vanessa and had so much fun! It was definitely challenging but the teacher had great instructions and motivated us to push through the moves in class! I didn't know what any of the terms meant and Vanessa came over to help me and was very patient! Take her class you will love it! read more

I love this studio - the lights are a vibe and always have supportive instructors. I wish all the other bodyrok studios had the lights like this one! read more

Hot AF in there. Fans or AC please?! Hard AF workout. Pink lighting..cute AF. Witty AF signs outside. Ysabel's tough AF but a great instructor! Close to BART/Muni and all Fidi/downtown offices. Lots of class times that are easy AF to book on ClassPass and directly. Don't be lazy AF and book your class! BTW...they provide you with sweat towels which is convenient AF unlike Core40 I have to say. I'd give it a 4.5 but rounding up do to the prime central location. I've been going to Core40 SOMA over the years but honestly this Bodyrok location is easier to get to. It's been a workout to hustle to Folsom to make it from the long trek from Powell in the early morning, and I'm exhausted and jello legged afterwards but have to walk so far to the office afterwards. So happy that I can get a booty kicking workout in Fidi that's not necessarily Barry's. read more

Always has my abs on fire!! Quick and straight to the point, not for the meek. Definitely recommend

The Sculpt full body class was so much fun! Ysabel was a friendly and great instructor. The class was only about 40 minutes long, it is more low intensity and static, but definitely a great workout nonetheless. Per my FitBit I logged mostly fat burn calories versus cardio. The class works almost all major muscle groups. On the machine, we planked, lunged, rowed, pushed up, you name it - I was pleasantly surprised on how many different strength exercises could be done on the machine. All you need are your socks and a sweat towel. Bodyrok was pretty clean, but it is small and there is not a place to really clean/freshen up after the workout. read more

I wanted to share my recent experience with fellow Yelp members. I want to be clear that I have had great experiences with all other instructors at Body Rod but will not be returning after my last experience. Below is an email I sent the Body Rok Team; I took a class today with your instructor Raven at 5:30pm at your financial district location. I am a big fan of your studio and enjoy all of your classes. I visit your studio 3-4 times a week at a minimum through class pass. My experience today with Raven was disappointing for several reasons most importantly she was unable to have her mask on for the duration of the class. I reminded her nicely twice and after the third time I was so uncomfortable I left the class. Your team needs to understand that the COVID situation is getting worse and it was evident that multiple individuals in the studio were very uncomfortable. I have never walked out of any workout but that behavior and lack of consideration for everyone is unacceptable. Beyond that, she was disorganized, failed to properly demonstrate exercises and was inconsiderate of all the newer members in the class. I have never had such a terrible experience and am unsure as a result of this if I want to revisit your studio again. I will also be notifying the class pass team of my experience and expect a full refund back. Again all my prior experiences with your other instructors have been fabulous so I am very disappointed by this. read more

I've heard so many good things about BodyRok, but after taking two classes, I am not very impressed. I've taken Pilates at several other studios both in SF and LA. It doesn't even compare. The studio has two large columns (albeit mirrored) in the middle of the room, making it very hard to see the instructor if they are teaching from one end. In one class, the instructor spent the majority of their time at the opposite side from where I was, so I could barely see them in the dark room or hear them over the music. Overall, the instructors could be way better about demonstrating exercises and fixing form. Most importantly, the studio doesn't even have a shower and features only one vanity--making it hard to get ready in the morning if you're going straight to work. Unless you live close by (very unlikely in the FiDi), have an office that has showering facilities, or are okay with hobo showers, I would rethink coming to this location in the mornings. Unfortunately, I don't think I even broke a sweat while taking either classes. I have one pass left and not very excited to use it. read more

Great place! I took classes with multiple teachers and Claire and Sarah are both phenomenal. I had some issues with reservation (probably my bad) and Sarah helped me out so I really appreciated it. This place is really similar to studios I used to goto in LA and it's been my fav in SF so far! Great work out, friendly folks, pretty studio! read more

I love BodyRok! I come here via Classpass and really love how efficient this workout is. Eric's classes on Saturday morning are awesome and I highly recommend trying it out. You'll b challenged in 40 minutes and feel sore the next day but also very accomplished! This studio is super clean and accessible via the BART so it's super convenient. Definitely recommend! read more

I left work and I arrived at 5:32 pm for 5:30 pm class. The instructor kicked me out that's because I was two minutes late. I wasted my money and time . While the instructor Camille kicked me out she was not clear why . To be clear, this is NOT my first time to take BodyRok. I left because I was uncomfortable and embarrassed to be kicked out in front of other people! Make sure to contact them first if the instructors can welcome you . I wasted my valuable time and $ for this location. They should have better explanation when instructors feel the need to kick out customers. read more

This chain got me hooked on Lagree when I used to live near the one in Berkeley. It used to be such a challenge; I'm not sure if it's because I'm a lot stronger now, but the classes seem a lot easier now. The 40 minute classes go by pretty quickly compared to 45 and 60 minute classes I've done in LA! This location in the financial district is convenient if you're in the area and weekend classes don't fill up because it's so dead around here when the companies around are closed. I've only been to weekend morning classes personally, but I'd expect it to be harder to get a spot during the week. They've got a lot of megaformers and they aren't cramped close together (it's a spacious studio), lockers, sweat towels, a water refill station and toiletries, though no showers so you're out of luck if you're trying to go somewhere right after not all sweaty. read more

I come here for the 3pm classes on weekdays and find that it is less crowded than other hours. A few things that bother me about this spot is that people aren't required to wear socks to use the reformers :( I just think.. feet sweat all over the reformers every time I use it. However, I do keep returning because the workout gives me a good sweating session and it's cheaper on ClassPass. I wish for the instructors to be more hands-on and adjust people if things aren't right. I also want to suggest two things: one, making one of the changing rooms into a restroom so it can be more efficient when people change or have to use the restroom. Two, having the complimentary towels always ready before any sessions, because twice I was told it was still in the washer :( Will keep returning for a good session, but things could be better around the space :) read more

I had a reservation through ClassPass and my class was at 6:20. I showed up at 6:16 to check in. My spot was given away to someone on the waitlist already and there were no spots left. The person checking people in said they usually let people off the waitlist at the time class starts, which is obviously not true because they were let in before I even got there. It's just frustrating because I planned my Friday night and dinner plans around this class. And now I have to contact ClassPass to get my credits back and BodyRok did not even send me any proof/confirmation/emails/class credit to make up got this mistake on their part. Other studios have an iPad for fast check in, I don't understand why their system is so manual and slow. The receptionist had to find the class, search for my name, while helping 2 other people. read more

Worst customer service I've ever had. They're disrespectful, have instructors that don't know what they're doing, and force you to reschedule if you don't come early. Highly recommend going somewhere else read more

BODYROK is my favorite Pilates reformer studio in SF! The machines are easy to use, the studio is well kept and clean, and I love the instructors! I usually go to morning or afternoon classes, depending on my work schedule and always find a time that works for me - they have multiple classes throughout the day which makes it easy to squeeze in a class at some point. Also, I love the front desk staff who are always nice and accommodating. I was once late to a class and they offered to reschedule me to another class later that day at no extra charge! Great location, studio, and instructors! read more

BodyRok Fidi is my favorite pilates studio in San Francisco. I found bodyRok through Classpass and now I am thinking about trying their monthly membership. There's about 15 reformers in the room and the color of the lights (room) change after every 13 (ish) mins so you know how much time you have left in class. There isn't a clock in the room so the lights are a great way to track your time. My favorite instructors are Elena and Claudia because their classes are consistently challenging everytime I go! Thumbs up :) read more

This is one of the more upscale and clean pilates studios in San Francisco (and especially in the Financial District) but the instructors can be more or less certified. I haven't been back after my last session here ended with us all doubling up on a one-sided hip extension against too much resistance. I think there's a lot of competition among instructors in the city and it doesn't always result in the most well-trained or mindful of instructors winning out. I hope she wasn't trying to handicap us all with a gangster limp.... read more

This work out is amazing. I've been coming here off of classpass and it will definitely be apart of my weekly routine for the immediate future. The best parts? It's 40 minutes and definitely kicks your butt! I haven't seen any immediate results but I love how much core and oblique work you get! I also love the lighting and how it changes, goes from pink, to dark, to normal. The pink somehow motivates you and makes the work out more fun! The only downside is the locker room is chaotic during busy hours and there aren't any showers. This workout is definitely the best and hardest Pilates reformer workout in FiDi! read more

Unsurprisingly, I ate too much over the holidays and I'm paying the price now. Feeling motivated to work off some of that food, I scrolled through ClassPass this morning and noticed that there's a new BodyRok studio a few blocks from work. I decided to sign up for the 12pm class and headed over just in time. Upon entering, Katie, the instructor, let everyone know that there are a few things that are not quite done yet. It was a little dusty and some final touches like the numbers on the lockers and a ceiling fan, had not yet been installed. That didn't stop the class from happening though. If you've been to any of the other BodyRok locations, then you know what to expect from the machines and the class. There were ~12 machines laid out across the studio and a couple of them were not yet ready to be used. The class was more challenging than the BodyRok classes I've been to in Berkeley (those are way too easy) and the Mission (I like those but sometimes wished they would push me a bit harder). I also appreciated that Katie made hands-on adjustments. The music was good; the instructor was enthusiastic and helpful; and the studio was spacious. Like the other BodyRok studios, hand towels are provided but there are no showers. Given the convenient location, I'm sure BodyRok will be one of my new go-to workout spots in the City. read more

I really like this place. The classes are only 40 min but they pack a lot in! And 40 min is easier to squeeze in places! I'm not giving more stars for 2 reasons. 1. This.location doesn't have the best facilities to freshen up after work. It's pretty tight, no shower, etc. For the price of this place I would expect more. 2. I showed up 2 min late, literally at 6:22 for a 6:20 class and they gave my spot away!!! I understand 10 min late, even 5. But 2!? Give me a break! I had to run out of work and changed at work to save some but I showed up and was turned away. It was already a stressful say and was hoping to work it out! But alas this place has NO flexibility. Its also $15 for no shows so ya that just sucked. read more

An ok way to get in a short workout, though quite expensive. It's a clean studio, a 40-minute workout, you just show up and follow instructions -- very easy. It feels like you're working hard, but I'm not sure how effective the workout is in the end; you only do each move for a single short set, and while you get the muscle group to fatigue during the set, you only get the one set. I found myself wanting an hour+ alone with the reformer to get in multiple sets of some of the exercises. Stellar for isolating obliques. Some good lower-body stability exercises, glute med, etc. If you have more upper body strength than the average attendee, you will need to add quite a bit of tension to the upper-body exercises, which the instructors don't always guide you to do. The instructors are hit and miss. I've had great instructors and I've had instructors that don't really bother to teach correct form for exercises. Additionally, I always feel bad coming in to a group class with an injury, but I've had instructors that are very accommodating and will help me modify exercises or just change the plan for their class. I've also had instructors that just say "do something else" and leave me alone. All in all, as an athlete my time is better spent elsewhere, but I would consider doing a twice a week package for some low-key crosstraining. read more

A beautiful studio lined up along the 'Workout Row' of the FiDi. You can spot this studio by its glowing pink studio lights which illuminate out onto the street. I took Claudia's class on a Friday morning which was an INCREDIBLE start to the day. She perfectly paints a picture for you on what each move should look like, feel like, and achieve for your body. The verbal cues are on point. She also hops on and off the megaformer to show you the actual example of what you should be doing. As a visual learner, this is a huge help. The great thing about her class is that she offers varying modifications for every level - you can take it if you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced. It is quite the ass kicker and will leave you sore in the best way the next few days. Parts of my abs were sore that I didn't even know existed. Claudia is a GEM! Overall, this is one of my favorite BodyRok studios. It's clean, the mood lighting is a fun touch and helps you to understand which segment of the class you're in, and it will give you a killer workout. It might only be 40 minutes but it's usually the highlight of my day. read more

classes are great as you'd expect from bodyrok, knocking a star bc this location is difficult to get ready in with the small locker room and only one bathroom read more

Bodyrok - Pilates Near Me - San Francisco, California

BodyRok is becoming one of my ClassPass favorites due to the consistent quality of instruction and unbeatably convenient FiDi location and class times. Great front desk attendants who are always cheery and patient when I'm cutting it close or running 1-2 mins late in the morning. The studio layout is front desk where you can grab a towel (great that they provide this), door into the main studio with 15 staggered reformers and mirrors on the front and back. The FiDi studio has a cramped locker area in the back so your belongings are secure since you'd have to walk through the studio/class to get to the lockers. There's also two private changing rooms, a restroom, water cooler, and vanity mirror/small couch area, no showers but that's typical for a studio of this size. The class format is 40 mins long, similar to Lagree classes in sequencing but just different names for the moves. Typically more intense than Pilates ProWorks or regular reformer pilates class but not as intense as a hardcore Lagree class. Depending on the instructor, I've definitely had some classes here that have been more challenging than CORE40, though the machine itself isn't as well-designed or smooth as the Megaformer. My favorite instructors are: Ysabel - tough routines for more muscle burnout, spend more time in exercises and time under tension, firm and confident encouraging instruction Caity - her leg series are killer and that's a good thing, blocks make sense Ann - clear cues, good flow, doable but challenging routines, motivating attitude Jason - has a great positive energy and gives good corrections, routines are more dance inspired and less make your muscles cry muscle read more

this is an amazing studio with fantastic teachers and staff - i come here every morning and ive never had a bad experience. bodyrok is amazing! read more

I did bodyrok through classpass on a Tuesday evening. Class was half full and the instructor talked me through how everything worked before hand. I honestly didn't expect much since I'm use to high intensity workouts or weighted workouts. Boy, was I wrong. Even though you use your own body weight, I absolutely loved it. It was challenging enough that I'm sore atm. I felt like I truly worked out every little muscle in my entire body. My muscles were HURTIN, but worth.I think this is an excellent supplement to what I'm already currently doing at the gym. I wish it was longer than 40 minutes. Will be coming back! read more

If too few people signed up for a class, this FiDi location cancels the class and does not bother to notify the participants (email or otherwise). Instead, you will find yourself in the lobby with no more classes available for the day, and it turns out they will have claimed your class credit too. The staff will promise to refund your class, but this is accomplished by someone texting a manager (apparently on his or her personal phone). Weeks will go by, and your emails asking about your refund will go unanswered. The management and larger corporation have no publicly available phone number, and you will ultimately have to dispute the transaction with your credit card company. Zero stars, very sketchy. read more
