I absolutely LOVE Pilates. At Club Pilates everybody makes you feel welcomed as soon as you enter. The workouts are great and I feel amazing (and sore) afterwards. Each instructor will help you on the equipment as needed, so no need to feel shy. I am in my fourth month and look forward to each class. It's a big 10 or A+ from me! read more

I'm very disappointed with my experience at this Club Pilates location. I've been going to another Club Pilates location for years and even completed my Club Pilates teacher certification. After recently moving to San Leandro, I decided to try this location and paid $39 for a single 2.0 class. I later received a call telling me I could not attend the 2.0 class and would have to "start all over again" with 1.0 classes. I explained my years of Club Pilates experience and my teacher certification, but I was told that this location has a "different owner." I pointed out that these studios operate under the same Club Pilates brand and system. The explanation then changed, and I was told that 2.0 classes are only available to recurring members--which essentially means I would need to purchase a membership or subscription before being allowed to take the class. I understand that individual franchise locations may have their own policies, but this was frustrating and disappointing, especially as a longtime Club Pilates client and someone who has completed their teacher training. If an experienced Club Pilates client can pay $39 for a single class but still cannot take a 2.0 class unless they become a recurring member, that should be made very clear before accepting payment. I will not be signing up for a membership at this location, and unfortunately, I will not be returning. read more

So happy they have one here in San Leandro now it's so close to home. I tried coming here since tgey just opened. The place is clean and cute. Emily was the one instructor that was there when I came in. She was really great. I was just disappointed that the class I attended was not the advanced level I expected, but she actually explained that since they just opened, they are starting from level one then going up to the more advanced. Anyways, I will be signing up at the end of this month because I still have the gym membership that I am currently enrolled on. I recommend this place. read more

See all

Extremely disappointing experience from start to finish. Many of the instructors are rude and impatient in Level 1 classes, which should be welcoming environments where people feel comfortable learning rather than intimidated or embarrassed. The cancellation process has been a complete nightmare. Awful communication and a complete lack of professionalism. Will not be returning. read more

I had been waiting for a Pilates studio to open nearby. I signed up before they opened to get the special pricing. The first month was very beginner-friendly, which I think helps get everyone on board. The studio is brand new so, the equipment is nice and it is clean. Parking is easy and free! The biggest con is that they only have one 6am class, and it fills up quickly. I had to downgrade my class package since there was only one 6am class. Booking classes has to be done in advance, or you won't get in. I have normally taken Pilates at other studios in SF; a main difference which I think is unique to club Pilates, is the extra equipment they have like the springs on the wall. It took a little adjusting coming from a more traditional pilates studio. The verdict is still out on whether if I love the extra equipment or not. read more

I was so excited to hear that a Club Pilates was opening up here in San Leandro. When I saw how close it was going to be to my home I was so excited we were getting an upgrade in our fitness wellness and movement options in the east Bay Area. I originally signed up for membership in July with the club opening in late November of 2025. I will say that this is not my first experience with Pilates, I did just a little under two years of Pilates at the Club Pilates studio in Alameda back in 2018-2020 before everything closed down during the pandemic. After the pandemic I switched to doing mat Pilates at home. So returning back to club Pilates studio after a long break was exciting for me and I'm sure for the local San Leandro residents. I waited until I completed 25 classes at this studio before giving my review as I know with new studios there will be hiccups, and things to smooth out during the first few months. The studio did have level 1 classes for majority of the first 1-2 months with level 1.5 classes too but not just at the 1.5 level as many people were still new still learning level 1 basic forms, etc. I can say that now, level 1.5 classes are definitely feeling like a 1.5 so I would highly encourage new members to start at level 1, & work your way up to 1.5. I think some people have this misunderstanding that Pilates is supposed to be this intense workout where you leave sore and super sweaty. Club Pilates is a classically trained Pilates studio, focusing on the form movement and control of the body & breath. This is not about the intensity of the workout, it's about understanding what correct forms feel like & being able to control that movement correctly. So for my personal fitness routine, I enrolled in the 8 classes per month club Pilates membership and also go weightlifting & swimming to get a full workout vibe. Instructors: Every instructor has a different style of teaching, all great depending on what you are looking to get out of your Pilates session. I've had classes with Emily, she is such a great first impression coming into club Pilates. Her demeanor, level of professionalism, & instructions are very clear, beginner friendly, and that's such a great quality to have when teaching new students who have never touched a reformer or know anything about Pilates. I've only taken 2-3 classes with her in the early morning before I switched my times but she is so sweet & such a great positive energy for the studio. I've had one class with Samantha, she was fun, I enjoyed it and her instruction was also very clear, she even adds cues for getting on/off the reformer, standing up, sitting down, in proper ways so as to not lose flow of mind + body connection. I've had majority of my classes on Tuesday & Thursday with Jessi & Esperanza at a 1.5 level. Jessi is a great instructor, I stuck with level 1 for my first 5 classes before moving up to 1.5 as I knew I needed to remember some of the cues again before moving up. If you wanna be locked in, get your form down right, have a great Pilates session, then this is the class for you. I feel like my money is always well spent after one of her classes, her style in teaching pushes you to stay focused, challenged, and moving forward with minimal distractions. I rather know if I'm not doing something correctly & she does a great job with guiding you in correcting your form. Her style of instruction is honestly a great start to my week to keep me motivated in my personal life. Esperanza class have become a studio fave of mine. Her style of teaching has been fun, we learn at least one new move every class which keeps things challenging and exciting. She creates the space for you to push yourself while giving lots of a great feedback when you're doing the moves correctly which is just as important as giving feedback when your forms needs correction. Her energy is infectious and I can see why the class leaves in such a positive mood after her class. Community wise- all ages mostly women come but I have seen 1-2 men stop in for a class. Everyone has been friendly, kind, & seems to enjoy the classes too. The front staff, receptionist & general manager have been so sweet since opening. They're always able to answer any questions, assist with concerns, or just checking in and chatting. Please be patient with them as they continue to workout any hiccups for this studio. If the studio is not open to answer your questions, I recommend calling or texting the studio phone number. Overall, the studio is very clean (everything is wiped down and sanitized after every class), parking is free & easy to find. After 25 classes at this east bay Pilates studio, I'm happy to say I'll be sticking around for a while. read more

My wife absolutely loves coming to Club Pilates in San Leandro. From day one, everyone made her feel comfortable and welcomed, which meant a lot because trying something new can be intimidating. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and really pay attention to form, so she feels supported but still challenged every class. The manager there is so nice and genuinely cares about the members. You can tell they take pride in creating a positive, uplifting environment. The studio is always super clean and has such a good vibe. Since starting, my wife has gotten stronger, more flexible, and just overall feels better. She actually looks forward to going, which says everything. If you're thinking about trying Pilates in San Leandro, this is definitely the spot. Highly recommend read more

Just want to give a shout out to my favorite instructor Emily. She is patient and kind especially with us who don't quite get the movements right. She will lead by example by showing the exercises and will gently guide anyone who doesn't quite understand. There's nothing worse than an instructor who only repeats their instructions with more emphasis, instead of showing how to do the move correctly. Club Pilates is a great way to exercise. It's fun to use the reformers. The equipment is top notch. Parking is plentiful and easy access to the studio. read more

I went to this location in San Leandro because I had to cancel a class and the location where I have been going to for all of my classes was filled up. I started back in May and starting this month after doing Reformer 1 for, I went on to 1.5. So today was my third 1.5 class. So I came to Branda's class. I shared about my shoulder being what maybe called a frozen shoulder. So anyway as the class went on she became increasinly frustrated with me on a number of movements. On the 2nd to last excercise we were required to lay on our side, tuck one leg and put on the strap, well I did it facing the back of the studion just fine, then we did the movement facing the front of the studio she came over and started saying your not backed up far enough, put your hip n the reformer but I was on the reformer just find but it wasnt to her stification so I went to put the strap on my left foot, but she came saying the same thing that i wasn't backed up enough and then she said nevermind the class is going to be done by the time you get it on. I was offended by her.Once the class was over she came up to me in front of the class and said you shouldnt me in the 1.5 class as you have only taken 14 clsses and you should take at least 30. I said I never knew that she said oh thats club pilates. I told her I was trying to do the best I could and I told her Im 57 years young, she was ready to gaslight me, because her whole face changed like I was yelling at her, but in my honest opinion, she was already all over the place when teaching the class, she seemed like she had a bad day before the class and she brought that energy with her. I Would never recommend anyone to her class, she was so rude, disrespectful and inpatient! read more

Total waste of money, impossible to book classes and luke warm instruction. I was really hoping this would be better, but this definitely feels like a money grab. $39/per class or exorbitant monthly fees! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO TO CITY SPORT IN HAYWARD, they offer reformer Pilates for a fraction of the price and over 54 classes a week!! So much better. read more

I absolutely adore club Pilates and there staff! As a man, I was a bit timid to join the club seeing that I never done yoga or Pilates, but the environment is so warm and inviting! The staff is on top of everything, keeping the studio clean as well as enticing a welcoming domain that could be scary to new comers like myself! The instructors are detailed and passionate and really seek the best version of yourself through Pilates. I recommend this specific studio to any active person or any beginner interested in starting there Pilates journey, this staff will ensure you have pleasant experience and keep coming back for classes, you'll be feeling like your happiest and healthiest self! read more

I'm super grateful that a reformer pilates studio opened in San Leandro! Nice studio, new equipment and easy parking. Comparable to better pricing to other reformer studios although you do have to commit to a membership model. I like all of the equipment options - they keep the classes different and interesting week to week. Classes fill up quickly but I mostly haven't had any trouble getting into the ones I want to take. I've had good experiences with all of the instructors I've tried so far and the variety makes every workout interesting and challenging in a different way! read more

I took the free 30 min intro class and JESSI was THE MOST SARCASTIC, RUDE AND INCONSIDERATE instructor I've ever had in my life and I've been in the fitness industry 10 plus years. NEVER HAVE I EVER HAD AN INSTRUCTOR THIS MAD ABOUT THEIR LIFE.... I felt second hand embarrassment for her... I could never find myself going to a studio with someone like this!!! Please re-evaluate her attitude and purpose in life AND POSITION AT CLUB PILATES. She just might bring your business down. I also work for exponential fitness so I'm very glad I got this opportunity to see what reputation club Pilates is holding on my area. Just an example, a lady asked for clarification and she came over and said well "let's keep your eyes open first of all ..and the heels are touching" another girl didn't know how to use the straps for the feet and she came over and said "ya it's uneven now and I can't help you when your already in it" the girl says should I go to another reformer and the instructor says no there's no point the classes is almost over so it would be pointless so the girl was just waiting there doing nothing and it was a good minute and a half to two minutes before we even finishED!! so she definitely could've gotten on another reformer and gotten some work in so I'm very disappointed with this experience and the instructors. Honestly, this is an embarrassment to the exponential fitness brand. This is not even 1 star. read more

Make sure to cancel your membership before the new billing cycle. They want to charge me $229 for nothing. They just want to take your money. Classes are too short and they offer too many intro classes. I wouldn't recommend this place and terrible customer service. read more

I absolutely love coming here. I get a workout that definitely makes me feel like jello the next day.. that tells me, it's working! I must say the cleanliness, the convenience, and most importantly the staff is unmatched! I've been to a few other studios but this is by far my favorite! Shayna and Tiffany (sorry for spelling) are such a welcoming face when I come in, they are equally if not more invested in me achieving my goals!! I can't wait to hit my next class read more

Checked out the studio when they first opened and the staff was super welcoming! Pricing is similar to other Pilates chains, but the community vibes are what roped me in. You're also able to book into other studios that are under the same ownership group which is nice if you work in a city with Club Pilates location. Honestly the Center and Balance with Jennifer is one to die for! read more

this was my first time doing pilates and I was extremely nervious shaina and tiffany walked me through the proccess ! I am now planning on commiting to pilates 3 times a week ! iv been having a blast so far this is the studio to be at ! read more

I've been member here for the past 3 months and I love the studio! The instructors are fun and energizing. The front staff and the GM Shaina are wonderful. They always welcome everyone in with a warm hello ! I always leave feeling amazing. If you're going to sign up for a Pilates studio, make absolute sure it's this one!! read more

Be prepared for them not to answer calls and become unresponsive when you're trying to have a conversation about billing. The only person who can answer anything is the manager who is never around and doesn't respond. read more

Super disappointed with this studio. This was my first time doing Pilates, and I was really looking forward to it. I signed up prior to the studio opening, and the girl who signed me up, Lexi, was very kind... but unfortunately was not giving me accurate information. When I attempted to cancel my membership THE FIRST TIME, it was middle of December. No one got back to me, and I followed up on the 23rd, again no one got back to me. I then get an automated text saying there will be no front desk person until the 28th. Well on the 24th I get charged for January. I go in on the 28th asking to cancel my membership for a SECOND TIME and at this point I'm asking for a refund for January since I attempted to cancel before payments were taken out. I go in and I'm told that the manager would have to cancel it and she wouldn't be back until the 1st. At this point I'm trying to be understanding since it's the holiday season, but I am starting to get frustrated. The I hear back on the 5th from the manager, Shaina. She told me she couldn't issue a full refund for this month, because of early termination fees so she would reach out to her regional manager and that I should hear from the regional manager by the 9th. Well yesterday the 13th I followed up again because I hadn't heard anything. Told I'm told I won't get ANY refund and that I should just use my credits. The lack of clarity, respect and communication was appalling. The reason I cancelled my membership was due to the environment not being welcoming, the instructors, specifically Samantha being cold and rude towards me... and her classes were the only ones that fit my availability for that location. I chose this location because it's close to home, but this whole experience has turned me away from ANY club Pilates in the future. Buyer definitely beware!!!!! I will say, Shaina, was very kind and listened to what I had to say, my concerns and justified how I was feeling. Most of my disappointment is with how the regional manager decided to handle the situation considering they're not the ones interacting with club Pilates clients daily like Shaina. Just goes to show I was only a dollar sign to them, nothing more. read more
