Classes are not crowded, the studio is clean and well-maintained and equipment is new and up to date. Noelle is a knowledgeable, passionate instructor who will help you make modifications to the workout depending on your ability on any given day. Her workouts are challenging but she makes them fun, too, and results happened quickly for me. Class rates are $15 each, but discount packages are available.

I did Pilates for the first time ever, and let me tell ya... I dug it. The vibe was everything that…read moreI look for in an exercise class. I didn't feel like I was being called out when I was being corrected. I didn't feel like the movements were too difficult for my skill level (which is more of a beginner, closer to intermediate I'd say), and there were a variety of options for all skill levels so that you didn't feel left out. This class wasn't incredibly serious, but it was more laidback and fun. That is also something I really enjoy because I feel less stressed/anxious. If anything, the smiles and laughter kept me interested and made me feel like I've been going there for ages. If you want to go out and try something new without the feeling of judgement then I highly recommend! Plus you get to work out while having fun! Sounds like a win/win to me. Check out their class schedule and what they offer! Their point system is different from other memberships, and it's pretty cool. So definitely look into how that works!

I started coming to Rivercity Pilates after being diagnosed with arthritis in my back. If you read…read moreup on arthritis you will find that exercise is crucial! I was worried that I was already beyond the point of help and wouldn't be able to handle the workouts. Was I ever wrong! Carey and her instructors are EXCELLENT. They are trained and certified to make modifications when necessary to help you keep the proper form & alignment to protect you from injury. I like the variety of clients at this studio ... male/female, young/old, fit/not so fit ... and the classes easily accommodate experienced and novice side by side. I love the variety of classes and each instructor has his/her own style so you may want to try several classes to find the right fit. The classes are reasonably priced and you can schedule online or with their mobile app ... very convenient! I like to participate in the many studio "challenges" they offer because it helps me stay engaged and there are great prizes! After 4 years, pilates has made such a positive impact on my health that I don't think of it as exercise any more ... it is a lifestyle. I'm hooked! Thanks Rivercity Pilates!

Our instructor also gave a few variations throughout the class for me because I have a physical limitation due to an old injury. If I didn't work 40+ hours a week, I would have signed up on the spot. Hoping that changes for me soon because I absolutely loved the way Pilates engaged all of my muscles without being boring or overwhelming. It was a fun class which made the time fly by. I didn't take any pics because the studio was full of people but it was beautiful, inviting & very clean. They have many class level options and I'm confident one would never take the same class twice with their wide array of instructors. Highly recommended!

This place is a joke. You don't get a good workout sometimes barely sweat. If you're past the age…read moreof 50 perhaps this place is more for you. The customer service though is what led me to write this review. One of the instructors was SO rude. I was told I could level up to a 1.5 class and she constantly made comments about how I couldn't do something because I was new or I wasn't used to doing something a certain way. We all were just looking at each other and smiling because her energy was so off. They actually gave me a new class because I had complained. So I go to the new class and show up at the door at 8:01 AM and was refused to come in. I said hey it's only 8:01 and I have seen many other ladies come in 2-3 minutes after. Dani still refused to let me in. This place is the worst!!! I do not recommend. Complete waste of money.
