Love that Bodyrok San Mateo offers convenient class times for people who work 9-5! I book my classes here through ClassPass, and they offer a large variety of workout class types based on the day/time. Definitely budget to get there a few minutes earlier just to find parking, but I enjoy working out at this studio thoroughly. Instructors are very helpful with form corrections and adjustments, and I never feel uncomfortable with making modifications. Such a fun and motivating workout experience that will leave you feeling sore the day after. read more

I don't understand why the reviews for this Pilates studio are low. I love that there are so many times available throughout the day. Most of the other Pilates classes that I try to go to have random times that are not convenient for my schedule, but Body Rok has classes available all day and on weekends as well, so it's very convenient. Instructors are super motivating. The reforme machines are clean. The studio itself is very clean. (It visibly used to be a SoulCycle studio, but that's totally fine.) I'd say that my only complaint is that I wish there were mirrors on all four walls. There are only mirrors in the front and the back, and sometimes it makes it hard for me to correct my form. All in all, it's a great Pilates studio, and I really hope that they stay open. The location is good, downtown San Mateo, and it's easy to grab a snack afterwards. read more

I took my first BODYROK class today through ClassPass! Such a fun experience! I've taken some pilates classes with reformers before and know how challenging this can be. I love the aesthetics of the studio and how clean it is! There's lockers, showers and bathrooms available for us to use before and after class! Jo was my instructor and she was so welcoming! She gave a quick informative run down of how the machine works and her cues to prepare for the next move. She was also really encouraging through the challenging work out! She also gave me slight corrections to my form to help me feel the burn which I'm very thankful for (but also was crying in pain haha). I enjoyed the class and will definitely come back! read more

I've been to multiple Pilates studios and today was my first class at bodyrok. I absolutely loved Gabbis class, no doubt my abs will be sore tomorrow.. I already feel it. The music was amazing, she helped fixed my form, and her energy was 10/10. Highly recommend!!! read more

Took Buns & Guns with Jo and she is such a fun instructor! I loved her playlist and her upbeat energy. The class left me gassed in the best way possible - it was challenging but Jo gave great demos and form corrections. I'll be back! read more

I've taken two classes here so far and I absolutely love it. The staff and instructors are so sweet and welcoming. The LED lights and music are motivating! I've bought the 5 pack of classes and will continue coming. read more

I had terrible service here. First with waiting over 20 minutes WHILE MAKING EYE CONTACT with the staff at the desk, bc I wasn't a member, she chose to allow over 15 people check in, buy socks, do stuff, ask questions etc instead of helping me to buy a gift certificate. That was the first bummer. Not the last. Then she sets me up with a gift certificate, only she messes up and places my card on file for my niece, a member. Months later, I realize that I've been getting charged for random items and a membership since she replaced my nieces card on file with my own. Here's the crap part: the phone number is never answered. Neither are the voicemails. Don't waste your time - although this place will absolutely waste your time. I go in, and mind you: parking in downtown ain't easy parcheezy. I am greeted by 3 women working at the front desk who look perplexed that I called - they tell me there is no phone to call there. I said, well, I called and left a VM. They say "oh that's for the soul cycle place that used to be here" I explain: weird... since they say BodyRok on the greeting... Anyhow, I had to go in person to get an email to email a lady to get my refund. Annoying? yep. I would never. Just leave it at that. read more

Gorgeous studio with cute mood lighting and located smack dab in downtown San Mateo. They actually have a really nice location (I've heard this is where the old SoulCycle used to be). I've attended a few classes here and they have great introductory deals. Not sure if first class is truly free or not (on IG, I see BodyRok proper advertising first class free but on the apps for this location, it says $20). There's always instructors in training though, so you might be able to snag a spot in a community class. I typically do Lagree, and BodyRok very much feels like a lagree-inspired workout/reminds me more of pilates actually. The machine itself feels very smooth, but I don't feel as challenged as I do in Lagree. Some of the moves just don't do it for me!! Most of the time I notice clients are moving really fast in class, and I've yet to see an instructor provide hands-on adjustments. I do like how I can see the routine on the projector screen. Gives me an idea of how difficult class will be and also how to pace myself if I choose to modify the moves to pick up the intensity. read more

Been here a few times now. Both through MINDBODY and ClassPass. Super convenient location in downtown San Mateo, there is street parking and also a parking garage nearby. The girls here have always been super nice. Being new to Pilates / reformer based workouts, it was a welcoming environment. It's not easy, and you will feel sore tomorrow! Great workout and the instructors will walk by and help with adjustments if needed. During the class they'll offer different modifications based upon skill level and even demo the moves. read more

I loved this class! It was my first BodyRok class. I love her energy and she's great at guiding us. Will be back!

The studio is nice with two restrooms and showers, lockers, etc, and very nice staff members, but the workout I attended today was not very challenging. I've gone to hundreds of Pilates and Pilates-style workouts over the last 10 years and I would compare the difficulty level of this workout this to a beginner's class at a classic reformer studio (I was expecting it to be more similar to a Solidcore or WestCore). I also encountered something super weird- I think they use megaformers that don't accommodate people who are at least my height (5'8")? When doing several moves like leg circles, lunges, etc, the machine would stop short, which is something I've never encountered at any other studio. It was not possible to complete some of the moves (extend my leg) to the fullest extent due to the machines they use. They also project the entire workout in bullet points onto the wall, which I didn't really care for, especially because we didn't necessarily follow it anyway. read more

Love Pilates and this studio is beautiful and huge! I attended through ClassPass and I love how they have such a huge studio and ample showers. The instructor was very good at challenging the class and everyone was getting the good shakes. These classes are about 50 minutes long and I love building strength here. This is in the heart of downtown San Mateo so there's plenty of food and drink options after your class. read more

Jo did a great job with high energy and clear instructions! I throughly enjoyed my experience here

Went to a 530am with Gabi and died but had a blast! Was sore the next day in the best way. I will go back for sure. I did go in early because it was my first time and that made things sooooo much smoother!! read more

LOVE BODYROK and this San Mateo location is Top Tier. Challenging workouts, giving me the shakes & sore muscles for days. There's always opportunity to modify if I'm not feeling a certain exercise or grab a set of hand-weights, adjust my springs to Up-Level. I'm addicted read more

The worst fitness experience ever I had in my 10 years as fitness enthusiast. Front desk was rude as f*ck and inside even worst ... no hello or even any kind of communication, I was wondering around for 5 minutes to find an appropriate number, could find, I wanted to approach the coach, she even did not look at me. Tbh it is so mean vibe I honestly just left because I do not want this kind of people around me while my fitness journey. read more

Took my first ever Pilates class today at BodyRok San Mateo and LOVED IT! Thank you to my instructor Malia for being so kind and taking some extra time to give me a rundown of the equipment before class. They have some great intro class offers - I purchased the 5 class intro offer (expires in 1 month) and can't wait to come back. I told myself that 2025 is my year for getting my health in check and trying new classes, Pilates seems like it's going to stick for me :) The reformer was very clean and well maintained. Lockers are available and very easy to use! They have grippy socks for purchase in the lobby along with some other merch, I picked up some cute socks with a chili pepper on them read more

Basically no instructions whatsoever. The instructor on Tuesday Buns and Guns basically read out a script of movements (which is also on the screen) with a timer. Minimal demo, no form correction, and zero energy, like she just woke up for her job. Might as well be a prerecorded video. The workout itself is challenging if you know what you're doing, as I was obsessed with lagree reformer workout for years and knew the moves . But still shocked by the lackluster level of instruction. read more

Fresh new studio! Stunning! Great equipment, super clean, professional! Excellent instructors and a great safe workout that kicks my butt just the right amount! read more

Arrived 2 min past class time, was told not possible to join as anyone new to the studio needed to be there 5 min before class. Have done reformer pilates often, just not at this studio, so don't understand why they had to be so strict about this. Tough as this was a far drive for me and they should have made this policy much clearer. I saw a few other people turned away right after for the same reason so this is obviously not a clear policy. read more

Arely is the master of the slow burn. All the classes I've gone to where she was the instructor, I've always left feeling great about myself and super strong walking out the door. She really focuses on the focus and concentration of taking things slow and working your core! I love taking her classes! read more

See photo for review I posted to ClassPass as well I am super disappointed in this business read more

Bodyrok - My review that I also left on ClassPass - Pilates Near Me - San Mateo, California

My go-to pilates studio! I've been a member since their opening and really enjoy the classes. The staff are warm and welcoming. All of the instructors are great at challenging experienced members while providing modifications to newer ones. The studio is beautiful and really bright and airy. read more

Extremely frustrating and upsetting experience. As a busy working mom of a baby, you know how hard it is to get out of the house and get to a workout. I have been waiting to try this studio for a long time and finally got a reservation for a time that worked for my schedule. I arrived at 11:56am and was told that because I didn't arrive at 11:55am for the demo I wouldn't be allowed to attend the class. They didn't care that I took time off work or paid for parking to attend. They didn't care that I am already experienced with Pilates and could've signed the waiver in the minute it took for them to deny me entry. I saw my name on the class list and clearly there was already a reformer reserved for me. Was just told to contact ClassPass for a class refund. As someone who attends classes at RockSalt, CorePower Yoga, Orange Theory, and F45 I have never ever in my life received this kind of treatment from a fitness studio. It's saddening and maddening that a studio can be so elitist and exclusive that a minute late can result in a denial of entry. read more

I was extremely disappointed in the General Manager Nicole Signori's response regarding a customer service issue. I'm very familiar with the brand since I worked front desk at Bodyrok San Francisco for a couple years. I also went through my instructor training with the founder of Bodyrok, Kate, right after Covid. I've been a loyal customer- purchased their unlimited founding membership, always repping their gear and convinced my friends to join classes and sign up with me as well. Apparently brand loyalty doesn't mean much and I will no longer visit or recommend any of the peninsula or east bay studios any longer. I drive the extra 15 miles up to the city since they are not part of this franchise. I'll only attend BR classes in the city from now on. I've been part of the Bodyrok fam for 7+ years so it was a tough, but necessary decision. I choose to do business based on mutual respect, communication, and loyalty. No complaints about the instructors and front desk tho. The other girls are great. read more

if you have been thinking about taking a class at bodyrok in san mateo, do it! was so hesitant to start because i was worried i wouldn't be able to keep up with the rest of the class but i was pleasantly surprised when i went to my first class and there were many others in the class taking pilates for the first time as well. all the instructors are so friendly and welcoming and always willing to offer you modifications to any of the movements! the front desk staff are super friendly too they were already remembering my name after my 2nd time in the studio. i am so glad i pushed myself to try the studio out because i can see myself being a member here for a long time! read more
