Whether you're a beginner or an expert, this is a good place for you.

I'm an active musician who's played in metal bands, so I'm no stranger to volume and amplification. I asked her to turn her headset down, but nothing changed. So I left after five minutes.

People in the class seemed oblivious to the volume/distortion, but if they expose themselves to this regularly, they will experience hearing damage.

I've been attending PT with Jen for about a month now and this is by far the best PT experience I…read morehave had! Previously I had been to one of the larger places where you're in a room with other people and you may or may not have your actual PT, it might be their assistant. Reform is completely the opposite and I have enjoyed every minute of it! Jen is amazing and is addressing other areas of concern in addition to my knee. In just a few weeks, I feel so much stronger and motivated to continue to work outside of my appointments as well. You're working one on one, so you're not in a giant room with other people who are all doing PT at the same time. It's so personalized and targeted to what's going to help you the most. I'll also say I love the online booking system. It's super easy and if I need to make and adjustment, I can. I look forward to finishing my appointments with Jen and it's been so nice to not deal with pain in my knee every day!

Great work out. I was using muscles I did not know I was not using before. Great for flexibility, strength, toning, and great for your back. The site is very clean and the reason it's clean, each person using the equipment is given a disinfectant wipe to wipe down equipment used after every class. The equipment are well designed and each student has a station to use during the class. I joined the Club and have been going 2x or more a week. Sue (at the front desk) is warm, wonderful, friendly, and is very accommodating! I suggest trying all the teachers since each have different styles of teaching, so classes vary somewhat. It's never the same class exactly so you don't get bored. They also add variations for the people who want a harder workout or an easier workout. I loved it so much, I got my wife to join the Club as well.

Despite this, we were still charged without any advance notification. When we reached out to address the issue, the response was extremely unhelpful. We were told nothing could be done about the charges, and the only option offered was a future credit. There was no consideration for the fact that injuries don't have a fixed recovery timeline, and no effort to handle the situation with understanding or flexibility. Overall, the lack of communication and empathy is unacceptable. I would not recommend this place.

Being new to this Pilates center, I had no idea that entering the room while no class is in session wasn't allowed. I told her not to touch me and repeated my request for her never to touch me again. She looked embarrassed and told me to leave the facility. I demanded my $300 back but haven't received it yet. What a horrible experience. I highly recommend never setting foot in that place.
