I have been attending Club Pilates in Charlottesville for 2 years …read more I'm giving this review as a client and a licensed physical therapist. This studio is highly professional, inspiring and fun! I cannot say enough superlatives about the manager Juanita Franke ! She is extremely professional, engaging , kind and generous . Her mastery in anatomy , physiology and exercise science is exemplary! I love attending her classes ! She explains the exercises so well and clearly , as well as the benefits and physiology of w he at she is doing . As a client and a PT every session with her is a party for me . The majority of the instructors at this studio are also highly professional , knowledgeable, motivational and engaging . Some newer instructors require more supervision and training in my opinion but as I said the vast majority of them are extremely qualified and well versed in exercise science and quite creative in their approach . Especially notable in addition to Juanita , are Chloe, Sofia and Wendy . Pilates is a great way to keep in shape in a very fun way . I hope I can continue this wonderful exercise modality forever and I highly recommend this studio in Charlottesville under the masterful management of Juanita Franke .

Posture Studio Pilates gets 5 stars. Carla runs the most knowledgeable, approachable, and friendly…read morestudio in town. Her teachers really understand biomechanics and how to work with a range of clients. This is so much more than just a pilates studio, it's a movement experience. After you have your postural analysis, I guarantee you'll feel like you're having a completely different conversation with your own body. I practice yoga daily in addition to strength training, plyometrics, and other forms of exercise. I thought I felt good until I got done with my analysis. My mind is blown to realize how my habitual movement patterns have caused pockets of tension in my body (that I didn't even recognize were there!!). The private sessions are worth every penny. Literally, EVERYONE could benefit from a visit to Posture. Old, young, fit, well, ill....trust me, just GO.

Carla is so talented and what she does. I started out with some introductory sessions with her to…read morelearn some basics about posture and Pilates, and that alone changed my life. Learning how to stand correctly since I work on my feet has been immensely helpful. Now I try to do a class a week with either Carla or Grace, who is also wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. If you're thinking about trying Pilates out or looking for a new studio this is your place!!

Another spot I was so excited to see come to Charlottesville! I have been to several of the DC…read morelocations, so was very excited to try out one of the "community" classes in cville as the new instructors finish up their training. My class was with Megan W, who did an amazing job with the class. Since it was a training class, there were only 6 of us, so she was able to give each of us a ton of attention individually to make sure we were doing the moves correctly. This class is done on a Pilates mega former. Instead of trying to move quickly like with other classes, the goal is to move as slowly as possible and really feel the resistance. It's a low impact, high intensity workout that will leave you sore for days in the best way possible. I can't wait for this spot to fully with all the instructors fully trained!

I gave [solidcore] many chances only to end up with an injured left elbow and very little…read moreimprovement to show for it. If you're looking for a fitness program, I recommend you avoid [solidcore] and try one of the many other gyms in the area. First and foremost, I could never find a regular coach to work with. The turnover is rapid, with coaches going to other branches or disappearing entirely. Google "buzzfeed solidcore ceo harassment" and you will understand why. The exercise routine itself quickly became repetitive. It was the SAME situations targeting the SAME muscles, again and again, even if the class title was different. Whether it was "leg wrap & chest" or "hamstrings & arm wrap", I found myself doing the same movements. Needless to say, I ended up with an injury. After a dozen classes where I sometimes spent over 20 minutes doing planks, I got an inflamed bursa. [solidcore] then delivered their final insult: I asked to cancel my account, only to be told that there is a 30-day cancelation requirement. I am now suffering from pain, unable to exercise, and [solidcore] will charge my card for around $200 for classes that I cannot attend. Avoid [solidcore]. There are many great options in North Virginia. Don't risk your health for a fad.

Also he insisted that due to late timing for my cancelation I will be charged any how, so I should have to take the class. I went and lasted for about 25 min. The instructor had no clue of my back problem although Bryan said the instructor will work based on the knowledge I had provided to him over the phone when he insisted me to attend the class.I ask her if she was aware of my back injury and she could not respond anything, she seem confused and did not any thing about my condition. I asked her if she knew how to work with the pain in my lower back and she said there was nothing to prevent the pain. So I left. Seems to me as it is was more important to take my money from clients than to act more responsible and ethical way. Business is not just about money but integrity.

The space was very lovely, spacious and convenient parking wise. All the teachers and students were friendly. During classes I appreciated each teacher as they all have their own personality and provided a safe place to really re-ground. My last class was the candlelight on Thursday and instantly after class I thought, I'm really going to miss this studio. I hope to visit again when I'm in town. Super clean and cozy. Thank you Caroline, Kira, Megan and Stephanie for providing such great space and flow!

As a beginner yogi, I am always wanting feedback on my form, and I appreciated that the instructors would stay after and answer any questions I had and also give me additional feedback. However, my latest experience after the 30 day trial wasn't the best, and I don't think I'll be returning. I attended my first aerial level 2 class, and I felt like a burden the entire time. It appeared that everyone was already well bonded--which was fine, but there wasn't much explanation behind any of the poses, and it was expected that I know poses that were completely foreign coming from level one. This was really discouraging, and I know I have a lot of room for growth in my practice, but I'd rather do it in a space where I feel comfortable with where I am in my practice.

You can rent shoes for $2 cash, or a little more if you pay with card. Bikes are assigned in advance, but you can change it at front desk. Now onto the class! Studio is dim lit - which is great because you don't really have to worry about anyone but yourself. Music is loud and bumpin'. The instructors are all super friendly as well and give great cues. Rides are rhythm based - so you want to try and stay on beat to maximize the workout! The best is during pushes - the mirrored wall lights up club style! Workout is well balanced with flat roads and hills, there's always a solo song and an arms workout song! I always end up sweat- I mean sparkling after class :) My favorite part of the entire Zoom experience however, is once class is over, there is an absolutely splendid tiny cold wet towel. Let me tell you, after a hard an sweaty workout, this small treat is absolutely godsend. To top it all off, there is a minty touch to the towel - no doubt a product of essential oils. Even though it's a small touch, it is HIGHLY appreciated and really refreshes! Overall, Zoom is a wonderful studio! I go via classpass, but they have student specials! Check it out!
