Despite the shorter session, I still felt like I got a great workout. The class was completely full, yet I still felt like I had room to workout both on the floor and at the barre. The studio is very clean and well maintained and all of the props are also like new. The instructor was very clear on how to do each exercise and came around to give adjustments, as needed. I love the combination of cardio, yoga, Pilates and ballet that the class provided. I even love how the short class still ends in a quick meditation to allow you to leave the class more relaxed. I like how they have a little store there where you can purchase some workout clothes. They even have a babysitting area to make it easy and accessible for parents who want to workout. Parking was very easy in the 2 hour free lot behind the studio. Just make sure to look for signs to ensure you aren't in a permitted spot!

My instructor, Sam, kicks my ass every class without me even knowing. I don't really sweat during class but then my whole body is sore the next day (sorcery!). I had a private session first and then signed up for a pack of 10 TWS classes. The only thing I wished they had was a better scheduling system where I can go in to see which classes I've attended/missed. They charge for missed TWS classes, which is fine and I understand why they do that. But it'll help hold both parties accountable (myself and Boston Pilates) if I can visually see which classes I've missed and need to make up. There's no formal checkin process so I'll have to rely on memory or their words that I attended (or missed) a class. This is in NO way saying that I don't trust them, just that I think the scheduling system can be improved. An option to reload a pack of TWS classes and pay online would be helpful too!

I believe in the near future my group is planning to make a switch with a fam account. So walking in you have a nice concierges who check in your member and or guest. Everyone was really nice and accommodating. My brother has a membership and brought me to the second floor. They had all the equipment you'd probably need we did leg day. Lotta cables, smiths, assisted. Saw the basketball court (didn't see the pool) went to third floor checked out the spin cycle room and yoga studio. Went to the turf area for push sled and squat racks. Def has everything for the most part. Would come back again. Very spacious. Some of the machines seem to have quite a bit of years on them but as long as they work, it's all good. The locker rooms were huge, hot tub sauna and steam shower at this location, no cold baths that i saw. I think with the different tier solo and fam plans plus access to pool, hoops and unlimited classes, it makes sense it's cost, just wish it was lower like in some other markets (states) haha. Will be back! Thanks for the workout!

In August, before my sister's wedding, I booked an appointment at this salon based on a friend's…read morerecommendation. I was very specific about the techniques and cut I wanted and was assured they could handle it. When I arrived, I was told my appointment had been switched to a "more experienced" stylist. Her previous client was unhappy with her color, so instead of focusing on my appointment, the stylist kept going back and forth, working on that client's color while also cutting my hair. She completely ignored me, barely consulted with me, and kept insisting the haircut I wanted "wasn't that hard," as if I was making a big deal over nothing. The result was a terrible haircut that was not what I asked for at all. At first I thought I might be overreacting and tried to give it time, but months later my hair is still completely messed up and uneven from that cut. This was an incredibly disappointing experience, especially before such an important event. Terrible customer service and I would not return or recommend this salon

A couple of months into my workout - one day, during my workout, the general manager approached me…read moreand offered to cancel my gym membership because I dropped my weights during my deadlifting. Before I signed up, I specifically asked three questions: 1) Whether I can do deadlifts; 2) Whether I can drop weights; and 3) Whether I can use chalk. The staff (a young boy) at the front desk answered affirmatively to all three questions, so I joined the gym. Many Planet Fitness type of commercial gyms have noise rules - that was why I asked. Given the explicit initial verbal consent when I signed up, I was furious and felt not welcomed. I argued with the manager and then left immediately without finishing my workout. I came back a second time to get my refund (and btw they refused to refund my annual fee). Now the young boy who signed me up claimed I only asked whether I could do deadlifts. And he claimed that he had warned me multiple times. These were flat out lies. About two week ago (and a couple of months into my training), he asked me to put mats underneath and I complied. That was the only time that we had a discussion about the noise. I pressed for details about those supposed "warnings" and the boy refused to clarify. I've trained at the gym for four months at different hours. Most of the time I saw only teens at the front desk. The general manager claimed he never saw me before that day's incident - thus I realized that the gym never had proper professional management. If the gym decides to hire underaged staff to help, that's perfectly okay. The problem is - if the teens - who lack the professionalism of adult trained staff - decide to handle matters in a teen's way - customers will have limited resort. The manager pointed out that the gym has rules forbidding weight dropping (and I am not disputing their general rules), but the gym also has rules that people must wear their masks at all times, as well as you must put weights back on the rack. But the rules are never enforced. People wander around, or grunt heavily, a lot of them without masks especially the teens. I have been training for a couple of months and I was under the impression that it was a gym managed in - let's say - a quite libertine way. I told him that this club is among the most dysfunctional in terms of weights arrangements (and I have toured more than a dozen gyms in different areas) - every single time I went there there were always some weights on the bars/machines (sometimes only on one side) and I had to put those weights back by myself. Different categories of weights are often stacked together. Also, having three 45lbs plates only on one end of the barbell hanging on a rack without people attending is actually dangerous. When I pointed out these apparent irregularities, the general manager - rather than acknowledging that things could improve - exploded at me. He shouted that it was not feasible to have staff sleeping on the floor all day to observe gym etiquette and enforcing the rules - and he would not stand me "insulting" his gym. So this is an interesting development. But after reading other comments on Yelp now I perfectly understand that I am not the only customer who got shouted at by the general manager. To sum up - the gym is not professionally managed compared to industry peers. The training environment is passable but not among the top tier. There are a lot of teens who train here and teens have different manners. For the mask conscious people - I've been to gyms that stringently enforce mask rules but this is not one of them. People frequently don't disinfect the equipment despite the explicit rules mandating disinfection. The locker rooms are not dirty but they are a bit beaten down (I have only seen the male lockers). Its pricing point ($45) should warrant a better environment but it is not the case. And the last word I heard from them is - you are no longer a customer, bye-bye. Well indeed. That's just the perfect way to treat your customers, even former ones. Congratulations.

I want to preface this review by saying that I am still very much a beginner at reformer, and have taken 5 classes at the other C2 studio in Dedham and have always had a positive experience there. Being that I am relatively new, I'm very much happy to get pointers & corrections on my technique. However, my experience with Vania bordered on being singled out and almost embarrassed. When doing leg exercises & correcting me on my form, she made a comment about how my "inner thighs are really weak." Later she corrected me on my tailbone placement & made it known to me that she was using me as a demo because my form was the most incorrect out of everyone else's. Like ok??? I didn't sign up for this to be compared to other people in the class who different levels of experience. Shortly after, she makes a comment to the class saying "some of you have more cushion on your body so it's harder to locate the tailbone." I was shocked. I am a size 6-8, & have a curvier body type. It is NEVER okay in my book to comment on other people's body types, especially in a class like this. She finally stopped when I told her I felt singled out, but the damage was already done. For the rest of the class, she proceeded to make comments about how we "shouldn't feel embarrassed to make mistakes" and how she has "never felt shame" being corrected & was not a natural at Pilates herself. Regardless of her intention, these comments were extremely out of line and went beyond simple constructive corrections. Needless to say, I will not be returning. I have never felt so bad about myself in a fitness studios until now.
