Tried chair pilates here for the first time when I was in town. Loved the small group setting (4…read morestudents). The instructor demonstrated how to adjust the resistance of the chairs to our own difficulty levels. It definitely felt like a workout for muscles I probably don't use often, but didn't have to break too much of a sweat. I also loved the dogs wandering around the studio while I waited for my class to start. Even if you're not sure about the equipment, don't be afraid to check this place out! I was initially hesitant about the chair most studios I've seen only had reformers, but I'm really glad I ended up trying it out.

When you join, you get $100 for the Equinox store (carry all major brands), and a free personal pilates session and a private PT session. I will point out they really PUSHED signing up for both after I completed my first sessions, which was annoying. I simply stated that private PT sessions are always super expensive, and on top of a gym membership would be way too much. Instead of accepting that, they pushed (in person and by email) to sign up for "just 2-3/week". I did not appreciate that in the beginning (lucky for them I was under a 1 year contract and couldn't leave just for that). They have something to offer everyone in the way of classes- pilates, cycling, yoga, running, and all types of HIIT. Absolutely loved some of the HIIT classes I took; the downfall is they have very limited times (during the week the latest class is 6:30 pm, and 5:30 pm on Friday). The popular classes get filled up FAST, within 15 minutes (you can set a reminder but if you're not available to book you're out of luck). Weekends also have very limited classes (only in the am). The gym itself is nice, lots of equipment available, pretty small floor space though and can get packed certain days/times. They do a great job of having clean sweat towels (and cool sweat towels) available and the gym is always super clean; they actually mop after each and every class, and spray down equipment. Gym, bathrooms, and showers are always very clean. Although a bit overpriced, they do offer spa services (facials, massages, etc.) and private training sessions (including for pilates). This location also offers a free steam room (other downtown location has a sauna as well), free lockers, and Kiehls products (shampoo, conditioner, body wash). I always appreciate they have little items available for after the shower- hair ties, q-tips, mouthwash, hair dryer, lotion, etc. Downstairs they have a juice bar, again with weird hours. Overall, I love the gym, just wish they offered more classes.

I cannot recommend this studio enough.

I'm never afraid to ask for adjustments or corrections on my form because the team here is so kind and encouraging. I look forward to my classes here every week and i highly recommend checking them out!

For the class structure & studio, I would give it 4-5 stars. This 2 star rating is for the…read moreinstructor, Vania Chan. I want to preface this review by saying that I am still very much a beginner at reformer, and have taken 5 classes at the other C2 studio in Dedham and have always had a positive experience there. Being that I am relatively new, I'm very much happy to get pointers & corrections on my technique. However, my experience with Vania bordered on being singled out and almost embarrassed. When doing leg exercises & correcting me on my form, she made a comment about how my "inner thighs are really weak." Later she corrected me on my tailbone placement & made it known to me that she was using me as a demo because my form was the most incorrect out of everyone else's. Like ok??? I didn't sign up for this to be compared to other people in the class who different levels of experience. Shortly after, she makes a comment to the class saying "some of you have more cushion on your body so it's harder to locate the tailbone." I was shocked. I am a size 6-8, & have a curvier body type. It is NEVER okay in my book to comment on other people's body types, especially in a class like this. She finally stopped when I told her I felt singled out, but the damage was already done. For the rest of the class, she proceeded to make comments about how we "shouldn't feel embarrassed to make mistakes" and how she has "never felt shame" being corrected & was not a natural at Pilates herself. Regardless of her intention, these comments were extremely out of line and went beyond simple constructive corrections. Needless to say, I will not be returning. I have never felt so bad about myself in a fitness studios until now.

I've bought Living Social deals for the gym two times, and if there are more in the future, I will buy them. The deals say "semi-personal training", but this is about as personal as it gets -- they may be training more than 1 client at a time, but there are never more than 2 or 3, and they'll always stop what they're doing to help you and show you the workouts. This is probably the best workout I've ever had in a gym. I never feel like I'm over exerting myself while I'm there, but the next day, my body is killing me -- the way you WANT to feel when you come back from a great workout. You're always working out different areas of your body, and its a much more modern take on a good workout. No ridiculous 5 mile runs -- instead, they focus on several exercises in small doses. Try it, you'll feel it! The only drawback is the price... it's pretty expensive, but if you can afford it, its worth it. I'm a teacher so I can only afford the Living Social deals, haha... but if you have a considerable budget for the gym each month, go here!

Other amenities include locker room, towel service, personal and group training, and boot camps. The environment is very friendly and supportive with members always encouraging each other in classes.
