I signed up for one month only and realized I couldn't do it because of my shoulders. I advised them and they acknowledged that I was no longer going to be part of Pilates.

I tried several times to reach out to the owner but she never responded. I reached Alex the manager at Poway Pilates and she tried to help but said I would have to deal with the manager or owner over her. BEWARE you won't get your money back if they screw up.

Club Pilates RB was unable to extend the same service to my boyfriend. This club could have offered service recovery by providing me a refund or my boyfriend the same entry pricing. An error that occurred on behalf of Club Pilates, not us -the consumer. When I went to my first class by myself. There was an instructor on modified unable to physically demonstrate the class to new members and who was able to sit the entire time. This is a highly inconsiderate form of providing a Pilates class to members who have paid for in person instruction with expectation to receive proper form instruction. If I wanted voice instruction only I could have done a Pilates video class. I have reached out to Bailey General Manager and Club Pilates corporate without any attempt to resolve this issue. I am deeply saddened by this experience for there is a MV & Poway studio that provided us with amazing customer service. Not every Club Pilates studio is created equally clearly.

I was made to feel very welcome from my first lesson to the last of my 10-groupon deal. I worked with 4 different trainers over my visits to beginner and intermediate classes and appreciated that each had a different style. The small class sizes are great for newbies like me - I felt very safe as I learned to use the reformer and was able to ask questions to ensure I was doing each movement correctly. No two workouts were the same, which kept it very fun for me, but we always got a good core and leg workout. There are cubbies to store your stuff and the bathroom is lovely - super clean and lots of room to change. The ONLY thing I wish they'd change is the lighting - staring up at direct lights for 50-ish minutes is headache-inducing. Indirect lighting would be much more pleasant.

I started as an intermittent visitor when they were in the studio in the strip mall, joined when they were hanging out in Poway at the soccer park and continued the path as it moved to the business park. This is were life becomes a marvel! Challenges occurred. FWRD+ focused, stayed on track and prevailed. The new location is a class junkie's spaced-out dream! Yes! There is plenty of space, fresh air with giant fans, rollup doors and beautiful plants. It's at least 4 times the size. The vast lobby and the roomy classroom with the high-impact floors are touched with a tasteful decor. Multiply this with the quality classes, merchandise and other woman-owned options like Fresh Creations, you've got more opportunities. You can workout, hang out or even eat while you're becoming reacquainted with yourself, new friends or simply being. A big thanks for sharing strength, fortitude and determination to create a desirable entity. Come in, burn calories and leave wanting more. Yes, you do you. Everyone is welcome! FWRD+ has definitely grown itself into the Wellness Collective.

For years, I've tried numerous exercise regimens with sad/no results. I have always enjoyed dancing, but have no skill. I started at the Mira Mesa location on a Groupon and loved it. I joined this location because they offer more class times/child care for just a few dollars more. Life gets in the way and I am not as consistent as I'd like, but the best part is that I keep coming back for more rather than throwing in the towel. Linda, the owner, is really sweet and teaches the morning classes. I love that she is chatty through the class and makes you forget you're working out, unless it's something killer. Then, she will share your pain :) All the other teachers are great, they each have their thing and I haven't had a bad class yet. Sam, Kim, Shandi, Tammy, Ariana, and Jenn are very good and will kick your butt into shape! Jen and Stacy make you want to be up and going at 5:30am and that crowd is the sweetest! The studio itself is well maintained and a good size. It does feel a little crowded if it's more than 15 people, but they have so many times that it's not normally a problem. Their children's room is very nice and clean, Tina is very sweet to my little one and I feel comfortable working out. I can't say enough good things. If you enjoy dancing and want a no pressure environment, this is it!

I found the Pilates Passion website and thought what the heck, give them a call. I scheduled my first private session with JD- I was comfortable, not intimidated at all and worked up a little sweat- I was surprisingly sore the next day. JD showed me some really great tips on breathing which I try and do at work and in the car. I've taken sessions with the owner, Anne Marie, as well and she is such a positive guide and lets you know how to maximize the moves to get the full effect- the rear end kicks are killer! I am NOT a gym rat- I go when I have time, sometimes I'll go a few times a week, sometimes less, sometimes not at all... depending on my schedule and mood. I will continue with Pilates because it just feels like therapy for my body. I never dread a session which is a fantastic sign. Some other Pilates studios, especially in the Rancho Bernardo area, are very cold and intimidating but not this little studio. I don't stand for snooty-ness and this place is not like that at all. Give the first free session a shot and maybe you'll get hooked like me. If not, you didn't lose anything and can be proud of not knocking it til you've tried it.
