I'm so disappointed by how rapidly Star Pilates has plummeted under new ownership. I've been a…read moreclient for 4 years and I had high hopes when I found out it was being sold. And that was with absolutely zero complaints about it under the old ownership. The former owner was very nice, warm and accommodating, albeit a little hands off. And rightfully so! The staff / instructors were top notch and had great following. I was looking forward to some new energy, maybe a few new classes and an improved effort at bringing in more and younger clients. (No disrespect to the older clients as they are what built the business and helped keep me motivated!) Under the new ownership, however, the only improvement has been in the aesthetics. The new paint and new floors cannot camouflage flaws in the new owner's management style and professionalism (or lack thereof). The new owner seems to be a bit of a control freak (locking the thermostat is just one of the really weird things she has done and who wants to work out in a stuffy hot box?). I was also witness to interactions too numerous to keep track of between her and staff members and clients that were not only awkward but rude and disrespectful. Interactions that would have been either or both in any business setting, but in front of me and other clients just made it that much worse. And so much for my hope for more and younger clients. Not only is that not happening but now my friends have stopped going and my instructors have left too! It's such a shame that she already lost her top 3 trainers. They weren't only amazing trainers with lots of energy, dynamic personalities but they are just really great people all around... the kind of people you want to work out with AND hang out with. I can only imagine the difficulty the new owner will have in replacing them. But then again, she probably won't need to because like me, others will find better places to spend their time and money. UPDATE - isn't it slightly fishy that there weren't any recent reviews prior to my honest review above until today ... such a random coincidence, I think not. Sorry to fellow yelpers who rely on this sight for honest reviews from honest people and real clients. Any business owner can ask their friends to write reviews.

The classes are small and that makes the difference for me - no huge sweaty rooms, no getting lost in the back row. Eileen is a terrific motivator and a great instructor.

Contrary to the majority of reviews, I didn't have a good massage experience at Shape Shifters…read more I arrived on time for my appointment but in chatting with another person sitting in the waiting room we both discovered that we were given the same appointment time. We speaker-called Terra to sort the problem it was agreed that I would return 60 minutes later to receive my massage. Upon entering the (way too cold) massage room, I was off-put by the lack of ambiance I appreciate in a massage studio. The room had no heat, no candles, was way too bright, had too much street noise coming in from just outside the room, and lacked relaxing music/soothing sounds (actually, no music at all). Also, there was a huge Pilates reformer taking up a large portion of the small room along with other exercise equipment scattered around so the room felt crowded and chaotic. I'm certain that these things contributed to the difficulty I had in connecting with the massage, and with the massage therapist. The schedule flub isn't such a big deal to me but the quality of the massage and the condition of the message room was. It's not often that I treat myself to a massage, so my experience was all the more disappointing. Hope you have a better experience.

I've always been more of a weights girl, but Hot Pilates has completely won me over. It's challenging, fun, and leaves me feeling so strong.

The instructors are high-energy, knowledgeable, and great at offering both modifications for beginners and options to level up for more advanced practitioners. Parking is convenient, the staff is always welcoming at check-in, and the overall vibe of the community is really uplifting. Highly recommend checking them out if you're looking for a great hot yoga workout!

Ya'll this place will get you in shape in no time. I tried the Lagree class. The instructor was so nice and allowed me to switch over from the Climb x Boot Camp class when I showed up. I was also able to purchase a pair of grippy socks onsite for about $10. The music was good, the lingo will take sometime to learn, but I appreciated the instructor coaching me and helping to position me in the right position, and gave me words of encouragement. There was only 7-8 ppl in the class so I wonder what it's like when it's full. I appreciated the work out bc it challenged me to push myself just a bit more. I had a good sweat and worked my upper body to the point where my arms were going to give out on me, half way through but I kept pushing just a little more. I appreciated that there was no pushy sales person trying to get me to purchase a membership. Now I can give it sometime and a proper think. Everyone was pleasant and professional from the staff to the members in the room. Nicolette was subbing from Danville and she was a great instructor. Provided me with a quick history about how Lagree was established. I definitely hope to come back and try the climber/boot camp class.
