Just moved to Denver and learned about classpass. This was the first place I came to with the pass and I had a great experience. Street parking could be a little tricky depending on the time of your class, but I parked down the street around the corner. Nothing to fuss about. The studio is attached to an apartment complex, so it looks a bit camouflaged. The entrance is on 29th ave versus the actual address on Wyandot, it's right at the corner and there is a ramp going down. There is also a signage, so you should miss it. I was greeted with warm welcome since it was my first time, I just had to sign a waiver. The instructor gave me the quick run down of the place and how class goes, especially it would be my first time again with pilates since 2017. It is a small intimate studio with 7 machine. They alternate between reformer and cadillac each week, so if you're prone to one or the other best call or text to find out. This week, we're on the cadillac. It was very calm and easy to follow. Definitely for all levels of pilates. I was definitely shaking towards the end of the class and I felt great. I was exhausted for the rest of the day! It means that it was a great class and I'm out of shape, haha! I will definitely come again! read more

It took me a bit to find my love for pilates, but once I did, I spent some time testing a lot of studios in town (thanks ClassPass!). Joie de Vivre is hands down my favorite. Don't let the location fool you; it looks a bit like you're walking into an apartment building, but it's cute and cozy and clean once you walk in. The equipment is great (some of the best reformers in the city). Most important are the teachers. Ansley and Krista are both pros; I always feel like I get a solid workout, but I also love the cooldown/stretch at the end (not every studio does this). Oh, and they have the best music mix. They do a great job with watching your form and giving tailored, personalized adjustments. And they clearly explain how to modify each move so you can push yourself, but not feel intimidated when you're starting out. read more

I have a lot of love for JdV pilates. Not only are all of the staff completely lovely, but the classes are great. I have been going for two months now and have yet to experience a repeat class. Great for someone like me that gets bored easily. I love that they change the equipment each week so you can experience both the Cadillac and reformer. It has become one of the best parts of every week. the studio is clean, convenient with amazing instructors. read more

I had a great experience with my first pilates reformer class. I loved the small group and getting helpful adjustments. I am definitely going back.... Three months later and I am still loving it! I go twice a week to Cadillac/reformer classes. I just began going to the fitness or FIIT classes when I can and they are a great challenge, not sure I would have been ready for them back in October. read more

This pilates studio is very conveniently located for me, so I really hoped I would like it. I purchased a groupon for 10 classes, which apparently everybody else in the neighborhood has also done! They are so booked that I've only been able to schedule 3 so far. Initially I was able exchange a few of my 1 hr classes for 30 min classes because they had some availability, but the owner stopped responding to my email requests. I have 7 unused classes, and there has been no availability to use them for the past few months. The groupon for this place is still being offered.. so I have to imagine that others are also having this issue. As far as the actual pilates, the studio is in the lower level of an apartment complex, so it feels a bit cave-like and claustrophobic to me. I've been doing pilates for years, and have been to almost every other studio in the neighborhood, the instruction at this place lacked the depth I've previously experienced. read more

This was the first place I ever tried reformer pilates and from the first class I was hooked. I love the small class size and Amy is a fantastic instructor. She is helpful during class and offers really good feedback. Since my first class I have begun to try other studios, but always come back to where I started. I would recommend this studio looking to try pilates or to someone with more experience. My only con is that the parking can be a challenge depending on the time. As a side note through my pilates journey I have found that the best instructors got their training from this studio and I think that speaks to the exceptional skill in pilates. read more

Came from out of town and took a 9am reformer class! The instructor had smooth transitions while introducing new moves. She had an easy flow and it was fantastic to feel my abs shake and stretch my quads in positions I didn't know! It's so important to stretch your muscles and we really targeted that! She had an upbeat peppy attitude. It's on the main road but just under the regular street level (lower level) so keep an eye out for it! Really pretty clean space with Peak Pilates reformers and towers. read more

JDV Pilates just got even better with the opening of Studio B. I started taking Dance Fusion with Gisele (a class just added) and it is amazing! Do not be afraid and try it! Gisele is incredibly caring just like all the JDV instructors and will show you the way. I destroyed calories without realizing it, getting into the music and having a blast! I have been a member of this studio for over three years and just love it. The instructors really care about their students and specialize in modifications. I started in a lot of pain and over time Pilates has helped strengthen everything and become pain free. The atmosphere for Pilates is intimate and relaxing. I highly recommend this studio and with the unlimited option you have so many choices or try them all! read more

I enjoy coming into class as offer as I can! It has truly opened my eyes to the fitness world!!

The instructor not only showed up late but lacked any kind of enthusiasm to be there. What a waste of my time and money. I unfortunately ended taking a class from the same instructor at another studio thru class pass, ugh! Again, another disappointment. read more

This is my first experience with reformer pilates but was amazed after just two sessions chronic sciatica pain was completely gone for at least 36 hours. Ansley was wonderful in her thorough explanations of each new move/position. It was upbeat and a real workout for the whole body. I tried yoga classes that were too large, to advanced even when listed as beginner. Afterwards I was in pain and could hardly move. If you are not 20, and want a real workout that is personal, Joie de Vivre is an excellent place to go. read more

I absolutely LOVE this pilates studio! All the instructors are amazing and I never have a hard time finding a class that works with my schedule. I come here about 3 to 4 times a week and the classes are always different. I was going to a physical therapist who recommended that I join pilates and I am so glad I found this amazing place. Don't be intimidated if it's your first time, this studio is great for everyone and I highly recommend it! read more

Used ClassPass to attend a Saturday Pilates reformer class with my friend. This place is a gem! It was relaxing while challenging, loved feeling my muscles getting warm & get my body shaking! My abs are definitely sore today but in a good way! Small, clean, boutique studio, only 5 spots per class. read more

I love this studio. Small class size and great instructors. I found them after breaking my pelvis snowboarding and this was the only exercise that got me back to 100% and riding again the next season pain free and stronger than ever! read more

This is a great studio with a very knowledgeable staff. They work headed to make sure you are doing the movements correctly and get a great work out! I love that they offer a punch card, and just bought another 20 classes! read more

I love this place. I'm obsessed. It's amazing for bulking muscle, especially core. For people with injuries or weak core, it's best to use the reformer machines. Plus, classes are limited to five people. It's not hard to get into classes if you sign up in advance and they are also adding more. I take classed with Elizabeth three times a week usually and lover her. All instructors are amazing though. The Watson method gives a great workout. I've seen plenty of fit men struggle! read more

For anyone looking for a Pilates studio in the Highlands or LoHi area, this studio is great. The reformers are high end, and so are the instructors - very professional, highly trained and very attuned to helping students make the tweaks needed to get the most out of every routine. I've been coming here for several months, and it's made a big difference in how I look and feel. The best part is that it's fun. Typically, I view exercise as a necessary evil, but in this case, I enjoy every minute of it. read more

I love Pilates, especially this great studio in the Highlands!! My sister-in-law found a Groupon for this location & now we are hooked! I love the small class size of 5 max & all of the teachers here are wonderful! It's nice to listen to some indie music & work out so many different parts of my body in one hour. Pilates really helps you focus & think about your core, posture & overall strength. I would highly recommend this studio! Check out Groupon or their website for special packages. read more

Absolutely wonderful! - As a newcomer to the world of Pilates, and for a long time to exercise in general, I am extremely pleased with Joie de Vivre. The atmosphere at the studio is friendly and welcoming, fostered by Ansley - a super helpful and patient instructor. The equipment is well spaced so you are a comfortable distance from others. Ansley asks appropriate questions and proceed accordingly. She is motivating and innovative. The continuity of care makes me a true believer in the Pilates method. Ansley is clearly at the top of her game! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this Pilates studio. I have been going to this studio for about 7 months now, and it has changed my life in the best way possible. There are a wide range of classes that help keep me focus on my fitness goals. Ansley and her instructor's make sure that every class is different and challenging for any type of client. They are always making sure that you are doing the exercise properly and continuing to push you in the right direction. Also, her studio will help brighten your day! You will walk out of the class feeling like a new person! read more

I've been doing classes with Ansley and Krista for a few months. I started going just once a week at first. I fell in love and was soon going three times a week. I can feel myself getting stronger and stronger after each session. It's wonderful because they are small intimate classes and you get very personalized attention. read more

Love this place! I just finished six weeks and am officially addicted. I found out about this place through a Groupon and purchased a package immediately after. The classes are small and personalized, so regardless of your skill level, you get a great workout. I am considerably stronger in my core and feel like I have much better posture now. I'll be making this a part of my workout routine for the rest of my life! read more

Love this place!! I have been coming here on and off for two years now. I started with a Groupon and have bought several packs of classes since. The one thing I love about this studio in particular is it is very down to earth, comfortable and friendly. I have never had a hard time convincing myself to come in and I look forward to the classes. If you haven't tried pilates before it is great!! read more

Just love this place! Originally came here for prenatal Pilates, but will continue after the baby is born to get my body back into shape! Ansley is motivating, caring and a pleasure to see every week - the classes are very small and you get to know your fellow classmates. Classes are easy to schedule online and parking is a breeze. A great place for Pilates novices and experienced practitioners alike! read more

This is a nice small studio. I am able to get a good work out. The instructors will modify the exercises based on my needs. There isn't as much attention to the details of Pilates postures, but if you have experience with Pilates you can bring that knowledge into these classes. The studio is close to my home and the times work with my schedule. read more

This is a great pilates studio. The classes are small and you get personalized attention. I'm new to pilates reformer and my first class was with Kristy. She took great care to make sure I understood what to do and that I was performing the exercises correctly.They don't make you feel like a beginner. I love that I am exercising muscles I don't always get to exercise with my usual exercise and outdoor activities. You have to stop by and check it out!! read more

Small studio which allows for personal attention. Clean, comfortable. Great for first time Pilates sessions and injuries.

I love this studio! Ansley and new instructor Krista are both great. I like the small class size and the way that they can individualize exercises if you need to. It is not pressured or competitive and a great work out on the reformer. read more

Well, I have to say that I love this place. After about 3 months, I feel stronger, more confident, flexible and fit. Ansley is so knowledgeable and sweet too. I feel very comfortable in her class and able to push my limits so that my body continues to tone. I am so happy that I found JDV Pilates reformer and jump. It has changed my life for the better and I just love it! read more

I have been attending classes at this studio for over four years. The metabolic pilates really helps burn calories while also stabilizing your core. I used to suffer from intense back and knee pain, and pilates is the only thing that gave me relief. The owner, Ansley, gives personalized instruction and makes each class a fun, intense experience. Plus, you can sign up online for classes that best fit your schedule. Definitely recommend! read more

Excellent workout!! Small studio big results. If you like Pilates and are interested in working on the reformer this is the spot for you. The owner, Ansley is friendly, informative and knows what she's talking about. If you're interested in reformer classes I would definitely stop by this studio. read more

I have been attending classes with Ansley for about a year and a half. I originally purchased a Groupon to try the studio out, as I had done mat Pilates previously. After a few private sessions, I was hooked. I had a back injury and Ansley carefully listened to me about it and did not try to push past my limits. Ansley really tailors each work-out to ensure that it is not only effective but helpful in alleviating any pains you may have. She is flexible in getting you in on short notice. You can tell she really cares about each client. I highly recommend this studio. read more

I am new to Pilates and the instructors at Joie de Vivre Studio have me hooked! The space is comfortable and convenient and the class availability is great. It's easy to navigate their website and schedule classes but Ansley and Krista are always willing to talk after class and help with any questions in person. I receive personal attention and direction even during a group session. I look forward to every class and feel great afterwards. read more

I love this place! I first came here for some physical therapy with Ansley for a tight hip, which she really helped me work through, and prevent it from returning. Once that got worked through, I started doing classes. The group classes are small, max 5 people, so you get a lot of personal attention. The machines look scary for a first-timer, but all the instructors take the time to make sure you're doing it right. And you get a great workout - abs/arms/glutes/legs muscles let me know the next day! Only complaint is that the classes fill up so quickly, but that's the price for small classes. AND always get on the wait list - I've gotten in many times! read more

A friend of mine and I decided to take Pilates together and purchased ten classes to Joie De Vivre Pilates. Neither of us will finish the ten classes because of our bad experience. Things you should know before attending: 1. If you need to reschedule a class, you have 24 hours otherwise you forfeit the class. While this is fair, it is important to make sure your clients know that beforehand. 2. Ansley provides instruction, but sits on one side of the room and watches you. She does not provide hands on help to make sure you are in a proper position on the reformer. 3. Adding to item 2, there is no attention to detail. One of the most beneficial aspects of a pilates class is having an instructor who assess movements and has you make micro adjustments to realize the full potential of each exercise. This does not exist at this studio. Anyone would be better off finding an instructor who can achieve this. 4. The customer service aspect does not exist. Despite the items listed above, we figured we would at least complete the classes we purchased. That was until last week, with two classes to go. We showed up at our normal time of 5:30, and she looks at us like "why are you here" She informed me we were supposed to be in the 4:30 class and had missed it. She checked her schedule to make sure, and then just looked at the two of us blankly. I just said there must have been some mistake and she said to wait around to see if there was a no show and walked away. Whether it was a mistake on her part or ours it was an honest mistake and she did not even ATTEMPT to help rectify the situation, and had an attitude of "oh well". Even after we had both driven all the way there. This was definitely upsetting, and so we decided not to return. Our time is better spent where we can get the attention and customer service we deserve. Also, parking is not easy, there is only parallel parking in the neighborhood and you will drive around looking for an empty spot, at least at the times we were going. read more

Very clean environment! I highly recommend Amy's jump board class. She's gives personal attention and is attentive to any injuries one might have. read more

Ansley and Krista make these classes fly by, which when you are working out is a feat in itself. I have been taking classes at JdV for a little over a month now and can see changes in the way I feel and the way my body looks. If you are looking for a fun, challenging, and low impact workout go here!! read more

I have tried several pilates studios in Denver - and this is the only one that I think is worth going back to! The instructors are very knowledgeable and are happy to work with you to address any particular problem or concern you have. The small class size and cheery studio are added plusses! read more

Love this place!! I have been coming here for a year now. I started with a Groupon and have bought several packs of classes since. I have a shoulder injury and they modify to your own needs. I highly recommend the Cardio Sculpt (Jump Board) class for a more intense workout. read more

What a great workout! I love this studio, the small class size ensures you get the personalized support needed to make the most of your practice. The owner Ansley is great, knows her clients by name and makes sure feel welcomed every time you enter the studio. 5 stars! read more
