I started coming here about 2 months ago, and have really enjoyed it. I have been a runner for the…read morepast few years for my primary exercise, but wanted to do more. I tried out the Newbie unlimited pass, and was going about 3-4 times a week. What I love about this studio is that they seem to have instructors that are more invested with each of its clients. For instance, the instructors call out participants by name saying how great they are doing in a move. I also like how some instructors incorporate arm weights into the class, which look tiny, but are quite strenuous. My favorite instructors are Corri, Ina, Ariel, and Mara. After being here for a few months, I'd say 90% of the instructors are good, and you will get a good workout in. Some things I don't like about the studio are the booking options for the classes. By first glance, it looks impossible to book a class, as the options are almost always "waitlist only." I am pulled off the waitlist about 80% of the time, but not always. I always feel like in general, it's annoying to be put on a waitlist, instead of being confirmed right away. In addition, if I could change the membership options, what I would change is the options for classes per month. It skips from 8 classes/month to 12 classes/month, which is a big jump. Wish there was an option in between to choose from. Another bummer is the mirrors in the class. 80% of the reformer machines have mirrors on all sides, but there are a few spots that don't have many options, so it's hard to see yourself in the mirror to correct yourself. The parking is really easy in this area, which is amazing. Even in broad daylight, the residential parking a block down and over are free for 2-4 hours! Love that! In general, I really love this studio and would recommend if you want to try Reformer pilates.

I did 2 morning classes which worked out perfectly for my schedule and the parking outside (street cleaning so be aware of the days, also no meter paying until 9AM). The studio is very well setup, spacious and clean with good ventilation/ac. Reformers are staggered with lots of mirror around and motivational words up top (love that!). I appreciate the little baskets each reformer has for our personal items, such as smart way to keep out things in one place, next to us! Very high 4 stars rating, only things that brings it down is its soo pricey for a membership or per session... but that's a Pilates reformer class anywhere you go. Nevertheless, definitely worth the try and I just may be back every once in a while!

Jessica refused to give a refund, claimed I hadn't reached out until a full week after the payment was drawn from my bank, never checked voicemail (I had called 3 times prior), didn't respond to email. Another time I gave her feedback on a visiting instructor and her response was to get defensive- so not the most mature person to run a business like this. ​

I've been to 50 classes now and remain committed to Nicole and Eugene as instructors. They're extremely attentive to adjustments and preventing injury. I felt more rehabilitation in my ankles and back than I did in traditional physical therapy with heavy weight lifting and cardio. My body is more toned and I don't leave classes feeling strained or hurt like I did in physical therapy and self led workouts. The classes are challenging but not painful. I definitely recommend this Club and location.

Pilates was suggested from my rheumatologist and my physical therapist. Started with some entry level group classes and found i loved them but also knew I need more 1 on 1 to ensure I was doing everything correctly for my EDS issues. Met Ramlah and now work with her 2-3 days per week when I am in the city. Only disappointing thing about this particular facility is they don't have a lot of formation classes, which are the ones you take in the beginning. Fortunately, I'm in a place where I am able to pay for privates, but I don't know if this is the place to come and learn in a group environment as they have so few classes. I found a couple of studios in my area that do offer them and will continue with privates but take some groups elsewhere that offer entry level classes the focus on form. ]

Love this place!…read more It's hard and intense but you definitely get an amazing workout. It's a low impact pilates class with slow movements on a reformer megaformer machine. Here's a small tidbit from their site on what lagree is: The Lagree method blends Pilates, cardio and strength training. Our classes are performed using the patented M3S Megaformer machines that target the slow twitch muscle fibers by engaging in controlled movements, which in turn activate your metabolism, burn fat and calories. I love lagree. I'm always super sore after but it's such an amazing workout. Bring grip socks cause you'll def need it! I've taken a class from several instructors and every single one was great. Parking isn't too bad, there's a lot across the street and a parking lot close by.

So I wanted to wait to take a lot more classes before leaving a review for here. And I would say…read morethat seven out of eight classes were absolutely killer and exactly what I was looking for -- a deep, slow burn, instructors who correct your form and also targeting the deep core, leg/posterior chain muscles, arms etc. And it does not disappoint! I've been to so many Pilates and Lagree studios and the many of them have resulted in random injuries of my friends, etc. But I've always had a really great experience here. The studio is easy to find thirst street parking around or technically there is a parking lot for a grocery store next-door ahem (not saying people park there). The studio is very clean and cute . And instructors are really kind and helpful. Definitely plan to come here more often! I would definitely have a membership here if I live closer !

I have been coming here weekly for a long time (7 years? maybe more). Recent shifts have made me…read moredecide to change studios. One change is that they have been sold to some sort of corporation. A few of the really good instructors left. Second they randomly started changing the classes. A few weeks ago I signed up for a reformer class that mysteriously got changed to a "power" class (much harder, maybe better for me but definitely not what I signed up for). This was the third or fourth time classes had been shifted without notifying the participants. The instructor said she just found out as well. Why? No idea. Also frustrating is that despite the fact I have come here for years there has never been any kind of thank you for your loyalty, hey it's your birthday here's a free class, here's a discount, nothing. It was a small studio that has now become a chain, so the vibe has shifted for sure. I wish them the best and thank them for all of the great classes I've had in the past but it's time to move on.

In a world of commercial, generic, commoditized Pilates, Lisa's studio is a true gem. Come in once and you will never take another Pilates class elsewhere again.

I took a class with Melody. She was delightful but I had trouble hearing her at times (may be a…read moreproblem with the audio system.) The studio is sleek and I like the plants and natural lighting. I like the machines. My one complaint is I thought the workout was just okay.

For example, there was one instance in which a random person, likely unhoused, wandered into class and caused a minor disturbance.

All the studios I've visited have similar plant vibes, but overall ambience is a bit different at each one.

My only wish was that I had found this studio earlier when I lived just a block or two away, I would have been here all the time. I took Jen's class -- she's the owner -- and it's nice to find someone who is so nice, passionate and involved in her business. The space is small but has 5-6 reformers, some other equipment and one bathroom. Note that there's no separate changing area other than the one bathroom so if you're going to cut it close to the class, it may be best to change at home. The reformer class was excellent and was focus and controlled and I got a good workout in. Jen took the time to explain everything and made sure we were doing the moves correctly. Even though I didn't really sweat in the class, I did feel a little sore in my abs the next day and still got a god workout in. Would highly recommend this place if you like pilates classes like Body Chemistry in the Mission or Mercury Fitness in the Marina. These are the kinds of pilates studios I love to find and frequent. I don't really love the BodyRok or Core40 classes as much since they go too fast, seem very repetitive in the movements/exercises, and don't focus on form. These kind of classes are more of the opposite. 5 stars. Looking forward to taking another class here next time I'm back in San Francisco.

It was really nice to be back in a gym setting and use equipment not as common to the basic home gym setup many of us have acquired during the pandemic (yoga mat, dumbbells, bands...). Checking the schedule and signing up online via their website was easy. Once I arrived, I was welcomed and shown around, and I observed the current Covid protocols of mask wearing were being followed. I hope to go back next week and get back into a new routine!
