I've been coming here since October 2025 and I've been a weekly regular since then. This studio is great. I love that it's a small place, 12 reformers, clear instruction, with a zero BS approach! I've been to other Pilates studios where they are more interested in being a social media craze than focusing on Pilates--not so at Bold, which I LOVE. Instructors are awesome. Literally every single one that I've had in the last six months has been fantastic. They are patient, kind, encouraging, and non-judgmental. Studio is clean and well cared for, too, which is another huge plus. It's also a reasonably priced place as well! Definitely a great place to begin your Pilates journey and stick around at. read more

I came out to Bold Walnut Creek to take Yvonne's community class and it did not disappoint. She had me huffin and puffin and trembling 5 minutes in! The studio is up a short flight of stairs, but when entering the studio you are greeted with a very clean space! The reformers are clean and well maintained, and I really appreciate the area to hold our phone/water by the machines. I do wish the reformer area would be a "no shoe zone" for hygiene purposes. read more

Bold - Pilates Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

This is a long overdue review I decided to go back to lagree as a New Year's resolution after a long hiatus and so glad I stuck to Bold! Firstly, I just want to commend all the instructors on creating such a warm and welcoming community! The instructors all have the best playlists and great on demoing and correcting form, so that I appreciate. I feel like each class challenges me in different ways and it's so cool to take classes with instructors! I love the studio, spacious and always clean. I appreciate all the different moves and encouragement. I drive all the way from Oakland, even though the Berkeley location is so much closer If you are interested in trying lagree, totally recommend Bold!! read more

An overall wonderful experience! My friend and I had our first visit to Bold Studios in WC after a not so great experience at a different lagree studio, and we're SO thankful we found Bold! STUDIO - The studio itself is impeccable - so clean, beautiful natural lighting, and brand new megaformers. It's on the second floor and tucked away in an alley so it's in a nice, quiet location away from all the hustle and bustle of the streets of downtown. They also have cute merch and grip socks available for purchase in case you didn't bring any. My friend and I each bought a cute little tote bag! PARKING - It's metered street parking, or use of the parking garage which is free for the first hour. I'd say just be prepared to find street parking and make a quick walk to the studio before class starts, JUST in case the garage is closed for event parking like it was the day we went! Luckily I found parking down by Havana and Wells Fargo so I was still able to be about 10-15 minutes early for our 11:30am class time. CLASS - Our instructor, Ashley, is one of the owners of the studio. She was incredibly friendly and she made sure to welcome and chat with us clients before class, and also checked in with us after class. Her instruction during class was perfect - clear, concise, and perfectly descriptive so that if we weren't familiar with the name of the position we were supposed to be in, she was able to describe in detail how we should be positioning ourselves, modifications included! Thank you!! As a former barre instructor, I learned in my training that the best instructors are the ones who can successfully teach a beginners class, plus optional modifications in case of limitations/injury, plus intermediate/advanced classes. Anyone can teach a class and just throw out names of positions expecting you to know what to do and how to do it, but it takes a great instructor to be able to guide new and/or returning clients through a class and have them leave feeling refreshed and accomplished instead of defeated and embarrassed. My friend and I will most definitely be coming back to Bold when our schedules permit. I highly recommend coming to a Basics class to get the feel of lagree if you're new to it, and highly recommend Bold if you're looking for a lagree studio with welcoming vibes, no matter what fitness level you're at :) read more

I frequent Bold in Berkeley, but so happy to see a second location open up. I visited during their grand opening last week where they were offering free classes. The studio is brand new with more space compared to Berkeley and also new megaformer machines! Lagree is a great workout and has helped with my posture and made me so much stronger. The workouts are challenging and fun- you'll find that shake with slow, controlled movements (time under tension)! The instructors here are warm and welcoming. I also love supporting women-owned businesses- shoutout to Hannah & Ashley! If you're new, they offer 2 classes for the price of 1! Don't forget your sticky socks. read more

I have been here a few times and I have to say this is my favorite studio by far. I enjoy taking different classes at different studios but here is the best. The instructors are kind and super helpful with every person in the class. I never feel lost or like I'm bothering them when I need help, they will always help you. The studio itself is beautiful, there are huge windows that bring in all the light. It's is clean and spacious. If you are looking to start a lagree journey, this is where you should start. read more

Just did my first class today. Mega Bold Basics with Courtney. I had such a blast. Challenging yet fun. I think it had a lot to do with the instructor as well. She was very good at giving instructions and very warm and welcoming which made me comfortable. I'm hooked and can't wait to go back! read more

The instructors are super nice and helpful. They help to correct your posture and ensure that you're doing the workout properly. I love that it's a limited class and not crowded. Parking out front is free before 10AM otherwise the structure nearby is free the first hour. The bathroom is super clean as well although you do need a code to use. read more

Parking is a little tricky for my first time visiting the studio since it is in the middle of downtown. I ended up in a nearby parking lot after circling a few times. Parking lots are cheaper or free in comparison to street parking in Walnut Creek. I'll make sure I allot some time to allow me to park and walk over next time. The studio is super new and beautiful. There are only 8 machines. I see a restroom right outside and a changing room inside. No showers I was the only one in class in my class last night. I got a private lesson lol from Chisom!! Thank you!! That was nice. I look forward to coming back since I got a really good work out. Lagree has to be one of my favorite workouts! I'm feeling stronger already read more

I was 10 minutes late to the 7:30pm class instructed by Morgan on 8/21/23. Despite the class only having ONE person in it, Morgan told me that I was unable to join the class. Nowhere on your website states that if you're x amount of time late, then you can't join. When I mentioned this to Morgan, her response was "well it should be". The website states if you're new, you have a 5 minute grace period, but I'm not new. I've taken classes in both locations. I can see if the class was full, but it wasn't. You should exercise discernment when allowing a late comer in class, especially if they haven't been late before and the class was damn near empty. I prefer a refund over a class credit since I most likely won't attend classes at Bold in the foreseeable future. read more

My favorite Pilates studio! The instructors are always super friendly and helpful. The studio is clean and airy. I always feel like I get a great workout in. read more

I fell in love with Lagree at Bold in Berkeley, but happy to have a location closer to home now. The studio is beautiful and brand new. The instructors are super helpful and really nice people. If your looking for a workout that builds muscle and won't leave you broken like other workouts, Bold is the place for you. read more

Bold - Pilates Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

This review is long overdue. I'll start by saying I've tried about every workout known to man and could never find something I totally loved. I've also injured myself in almost every workout because I'm not entirely coordinated or athletic. My girlfriends brought me to Bold and after my extremely humbling first class I couldn't tell if I hated it or loved it. I will say this: Bold is a safe place. There is zero judgement at that studio and there are people of all fitness levels. Every instructor I've taken makes sure your form is right so you prevent injury. Lastly it is always challenging. I've been coming since December 2023 and I'm still humbled like the first class but with better form. I can't say enough good things even when all my muscles are shaking uncontrollably! read more

This is Bold's newest studio. It is clean, new, and fantastic. The machines are more high-tech so you might find yourself doing the moves a little differently than you're used to if you frequent Bold's Berkeley studio, but it's not hard to get used to. I will say that because the machines are new, there are still some things that are being worked out. E.g. the S straps on some of the machines are a little too tight compared to the others and make certain moves difficult. Not a dealbreaker, but kind of hard to point out sometimes because it's kind of a vague, ambiguous complaint and it's still functional. The bathrooms are super clean and there's also air conditioning in the studio! It doesn't get too hot in there. They also have this lovely water bottle refill station that is so cool and fancy. It even has a sparkling water function! Of course, the instruction is fantastic. Some tips for parking: 1. There is a parking garage where the first hour is free very close to the studio. 2. There is a Target nearby to park your car. 3. There is a stretch of spots with meters that's usually empty because (iirc) it's no parking from like 9 AM to 4 PM. But if you are a late afternoon/evening class, you should be able to park there no problem though I think you have to pay. read more

I've been enjoying classes at Bold in Walnut Creek now for nearly a year. I love this studio and the instructors. There is a very supportive atmosphere that has been created for all, with a focus on strength and what your body can do rather than what bodies look like. It's an empowering place to come even if you're a beginner. Instructors offer options to modify, which is super helpful! read more

I am a client turned instructor, so I may be a bit biased when I say this, but I couldn't love this studio more. The studio is bright and airy, and even though there are 12 machines, it's never felt like too much. It's an amazing community to be a part of, and I love that the studio prioritizes giving clients a challenging workout while also making the workout accessible to every body. read more

Updating my review based on my last not so great experienxe. I'd taken classes about 5 times at the studio, so still new, but getting more familiar (I let the instructor know this in the beginning). There were only four of in the class, myself and another woman who was on her second class I believe. The other two women were regulars. As there were only four people, there were several machines available, but the instructor didn't demo movements until I asked if she could show us. She helped me with my form but seemed irritated and impatient. At the end of class she said I should go back to the beginning and take an intro class, ironically my intro class was with her, and I avoided taking another class with her as the instructor because I didn't care for how impatient she came across. I totally understand that you might not vibe with every instructor, but the whole experience was pretty off putting. Not to mention she was 15 minutes late...I haven't been back to this studio since. read more

Love this place! I've had nothing but a positive experience. The workout is amazing. The instructors I've taken have been great. The owners are supportive, sweet and great at explaining each move. Highly recommend taking a few classes....don't give up after your first class and start with a Basics class if it's your first time. read more

I started going to BOLD in Berkeley, and have pretty much transitioned to their new location in Walnut Creek. (I like some of the instructors so much that I still make the trek to.Berkeley a couple of times a month!) BOLD is always a challenging and satisfying workout, but the instructors are what really make me love it. If you're looking for a serious workout with personalized attention and camaraderie, you should definitely check them out! read more

The best workout, the prettiest studio, and the kindest instructors! Pilates-type workouts can feel intimidating, but the vibes at Bold are always welcoming to all. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient with newcomers and make the machine and routines accessible to all. Most of all, the workout is ALWAYS killer! read more
