Honestly, being cued correctly and being corrected when I'm out of alignment or in the wrong position have kept me from injury. Reformer Pilates has changed my life, I love it! I took a few private lessons with Amanda as my intro to pilates. She and the lessons were so amazing, I've been hooked ever since. When I'm in town, I come to the studio fairly consistently and my body has been transformed, completely snatched. I feel my workouts all over, every atrophied muscle has been awakened. Every instructor does something "special" in their class, please try them all, you will not be disappointed. I highly, highly recommend coming here.

I've been going to Club Pilates West Tacoma for almost two years, and Angelena is by far my…read morefavorite instructor. Her classes are always challenging, no matter the level, and I always feel like I get a great workout. One of the things I appreciate most about Angelena is how attentive she is during class. She will correct your form when needed and offer alternative exercises if you're dealing with an injury or limitation. I have several injuries, and she always finds modifications that allow me to work the muscles being targeted without aggravating or reinjuring myself. Another favorite of mine is her core workouts; she always includes a challenging core series in every class! If you're thinking about taking a class at Club Pilates West Tacoma, I highly recommend signing up for one of Angelena's classes. She's amazing!

TLDR; I do not recommend Club Pilates to anyone athletic with Pilates experience. The level 2…read moreassessment criteria are not taught in level 1 nor 1.5 classes at this studio. It is absolutely not worth the price. On a personal note: I felt like this was an experience of age discrimination as I was often the youngest person in class and for some reason someone noted "young, able body tho" on my assessment form after they decided to not recommend me for Level 2. (Most of the assessment form wasn't even completed) Full review: I've been an athlete since childhood, have done barre and other Pilates studios for years. I recently moved to Tacoma and decided to try Club Pilates. I am canceling my membership after giving it an honest effort for three months. I have paid nearly $300 per month for the minimum 3 month membership commitment to have unlimited classes (taking between 3-5 classes/week) for mediocre Pilates workouts. My whole goal for this 3 months was to test up to the level 2 classes in hopes of them being challenging and allow me to actually drop a bead of sweat or feel some sort of challenging exercise. Upon signing up for a three month membership, I asked when I could test for the level 2 classes and was told I wouldn't pass since the instructors "didn't know me." This was my first clue into the cult of Club Pilates; why is this form assessment also based on who you "know"? I believe that testing for form is acceptable to deem admission to higher level classes, but NOT when the form is not explicitly taught in class. The level 2 assessment was quite frankly a joke considering the way level 1 and 1.5 classes are taught. I attended class regularly during my 3-month membership trial with hopes of being approved to start attending level 2 classes. To my dismay, the level 2 assessment was full of questions relating to anatomical jargon that is never explicitly discussed in any of the class formats I've taken (Reformer Flow, Control, Cardio Sculpt). I am always open to form-correction, but hardly received any in all the classes I took. I would not recommend Club Pilates to anyone unless they are looking for very leisurely body movement, whether due to older age or mobility issues. Having lived in San Diego, Durham, and Seattle, I have found MUCH better Pilates studios than this one. So far in Tacoma I have found La Maison Pilates which is 10x better in terms of difficulty and they still emphasize form with smaller class sizes. It's a bit more expensive but actually worth the money.
