This studio is super cute and very festive, with Valentines Day décor at the time of my first visit. When I arrived, the owner checked me in. For any first-timers, arrive 10-15 minutes early to sign a waiver and settle into the studio. They have lockers for your belongings, and there is a strict no cell phones policy in the studio area. Bring grip socks, or you can buy new ones here. This is standard for safety reasons with all reformer pilates classes. The work out space is well equipped. There are 12 reformer pilates station, set up with all the best of the balanced body equipment, very similar to a Club Pilates set up. Oh I will say I noticed this studio had a lot of the pregnancy wedges for pregnant students, where as other studios tend to only have one or two. I found out that they actually have prenatal and postnatal classes here. Not that I need it, but I'm just sharing in case someone else does. So back to the class. Rowena is so fun. She is so engaging. She was asking the students how we were feeling, if there were injuries, if there were any areas we wanted to focus on. Based on our feedback, she designed the class accordingly. This takes a lot of experience to do that on the spot. I loved the class pace and the music. Such a great work out! I would definitely come back whenever my schedule allows me to visit this studio. Especially when I see Rowena on the schedule.

It's rare to find someone who brings this level of authenticity, energy, and connection to their work.

I've tried Pilates in the past, hoping that I'll have that Instagram body one day, but that went down the drain after the first session at the prev Pilates place. A couple of years passed, I went to the gym occasionally but never dared to try another Pilates class because I'll be wasting money then I found Orange People. I purchased 3 private intro classes so I don't scare myself this time, and that was the best decision I've made! Not only did the instructor correct my posture and help me to understand the posture when forming a move, but she was very good at catching what my body is good at and which areas I need more improvement on. Since the private class, I've been going to pilates group classes every 1-2 times a week with different instructors to experience them all. So far, my experience with all the instructors has been enjoyable. I don't feel rushed and behind; they all seem very attentive. Highly highly recommend Orange People.

Before class started, she went around to each person asking how they were, seeing what modifications they needed, and explained the reformer and class thoroughly. During the class, she communicated very detailed and was really helpful in demonstrating the different sets and techniques. After class, she went around to every person asking how the class was for them. I really appreciated how present and engaged she was with everyone! The studio was clean, cozy, and well equipped. It had a lot of reformers with towers and had all the tools needed for the workout. I did the a** and abs workout and it was great.

If it's your first time doing reformer Pilates or using a reformer machine, I highly recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early so the instructor can walk you through the machine and how everything works. It makes you feel so much more comfortable going into class. I've come here through ClassPass and have had a good experience. The instructors are knowledgeable, and I really appreciate that they ask before class how you're feeling physically and whether you have any injuries or limitations. That level of attentiveness shows they genuinely care about their clients. The studio is located in Sky Park, and I'd suggest getting there a bit early because parking can sometimes get packed. The space itself is very clean, and I love that they provide wipes after your session so you can wipe down your equipment. Overall, a solid studio with friendly instructors and a welcoming environment.

I was literally the first person to review Club Pilates UTC on Yelp over 3 years ago, and I gave…read morethem 5 stars. That's what makes writing this now even more disappointing. As of the end of this month, I will no longer be a member, and here's why. First, hygiene is a serious issue. The studio is consistently unclean and only gets properly addressed after repeated complaints. There are ant and roach traps in multiple corners, which speaks for itself. Over the years, I've raised concerns--politely and alongside other members--and only then does anything get cleaned. It shouldn't take persistent complaints to maintain basic standards. Look up at the vents and you'll see heavy dust buildup on the AC filters. This has been brought to management's attention for months, yet nothing changes. Meanwhile, the floors often have visible hair and dust, and mirrors are covered in fingerprints. When they do clean, they use overpowering, chemical-heavy products, which feels counterproductive in a space meant for health and wellness. Instructor quality has also declined significantly. Several excellent instructors have left, and the replacements have been inconsistent at best. In one class, I was introduced to a move that felt unsafe. When I asked about it afterward, the instructor said she found it on TikTok. That alone was alarming. There have also been repeated instances of instructors teaching while visibly sick. I've personally had to leave class multiple times to avoid getting ill. Only after strong complaints did this change--and now it's replaced with last-minute cancellations. On one occasion, I was already in the parking lot when I received a cancellation call. No credit was offered, despite the inconvenience. The turnover rate of instructors over the past year has been extremely high, and it shows in the declining quality of classes. Cancellations are often announced at the last minute, sometimes right at the scheduled start time, with no clear accountability or compensation. The final issue that pushed me to cancel was being charged a $15 no-show fee--despite never having missed a class. When I reached out, I initially received no response. After multiple attempts, I was connected with someone identified as a VP, who claimed I had been refunded 5-6 times in the past six months. When I asked for specifics, only three dates were provided over my 3 years as a member, and the rest were never clarified. That lack of transparency was unacceptable. I ultimately contacted my credit card company to dispute the charge. After I explained the situation, they were surprised at how it had been handled and agreed the charge was erroneous. The fee was refunded, and they indicated they would follow up with Club Pilates directly. If a business is willing to lose a long-term customer over a $15 charge--and handle it this poorly--that says a lot. It's a shame it came to this. At this point, it's clear that member experience is not a priority. Between the cleanliness issues, inconsistent instruction, poor communication, and questionable billing practices, I can no longer justify staying. There are many well-run studios out there. If you're considering this one, I recommend taking a close look at the environment, the instructors, and how concerns are handled before committing.
