I am writing this to save future members from the same financial headache I experienced. While I…read morehave nothing but praise for the instructors and the quality of the classes--which I genuinely enjoyed--the management and corporate policies are predatory and intentionally opaque. If you are considering joining, please be aware of these "fine print" rules that were not verbally disclosed to me at signing: The "Freeze" Fee: If you need to put your account on hold for personal reasons, expect a $35 monthly holding fee that isn't mentioned upfront. The "Active Status" Catch: You cannot terminate your membership while it is on hold. Your account must be active to submit a 30-day notice. This forces you to pay for another full month of membership just to quit. The "Immediate" Exit Tax: If you want to bypass the 30-day notice because of these hidden hurdles, they charge an immediate $100 termination fee. I consider myself a reasonable person; had these fees been explained during the sales pitch, I would have accepted them as part of the terms. However, when I brought these concerns to the manager, the response was dismissive and focused solely on collections rather than customer retention or transparency. The Pilates is great, but the contract is designed to squeeze extra money out of you the moment life gets in the way. Read every single line of the fine print before you sign, because the staff likely won't tell you the truth about the exit costs.

I had a disappointing experience at this Club Pilates in Kingstown. The manager had a poor attitude…read moreand was not professional when addressing my concerns. On top of that, the front desk staff gave me different information each time I asked, which was confusing and frustrating. Consistent communication and good customer service are very important, and unfortunately, that was lacking during my experience. The only bright spot was the coach, who was absolutely fantastic--knowledgeable, encouraging, and professional. The instructor made the class enjoyable despite the issues with management and the front desk. I hope the management team works on improving customer service and ensuring staff provide accurate, consistent information.

I've taken several classes here now and really have enjoyed them.

Two unique features here: 1. some classes are in-person or virtual so there could be some people at home-which definitely allows for more availability in the studio and 2. 12:30 every Sunday there is a free class with an instructor that is either new or in the certification process to give them a chance for live teaching. You still have to register online but I've never come across a studio offering anything for free so this was nice to discover. Love the welcoming community here and will keep coming back.
