This studio is now trying to open in Austin. Method Pilates creates an exclusionary and cold environment for their clients of color. I was really disappointed to see this studio open in my hometown (by the same owners) after having a terrible encounter at their original location in Houston. I honestly still feel triggered by the experience I had at Method several years ago, and think about it literally every time I enter a studio, particularly a new one - hoping to never feel that kind of shame (story below if you are interested) in a space where I usually feel so safe and grounded. Please be wary of their practices, especially to my other brown girls! There are so many other kind, warm, and welcoming studios in the Austin area owned by women. Urban Lagree, ATX Pilates, homebody, trufusion, and many many others are so much better to support. ________ I posted on Google Reviews about my experience and the harm it caused, and The studio owner tried to harass me about this review by calling my personal cell multiple times (they seemed to have kept it from the many years ago I was there which is a huge violation of privacy), via my socials (I did post comments there too, to share my experience) and sending me a fairly threatening DM (screenshotted below) - I have blocked them on all accounts. Instead of apologizing for the horrible experience, somehow turned it back on me as if it was my fault I was treated that way. Even though the current staff member doesn't work there, they still stood behind her when the comments were made, and would likely do so again if given the chance. They also seem to be flooding the comment/review section with family + friend reviews, so just please be cautious, Austin friends. read more

I'd like to update my review after being here over a month now! I am still just as in love with the whole process, Stacy, tracelyn, Megan, Beja, Debra are AWESOME! I loved all of these instructors. Not sure what these bad reviews are saying by knock off reformers? They are definitely not knock offs. And it's Houston Tx in the summer time so it's humid outside but it's not bad inside at all. Parking is bad if you are not on time... and there is an available parking lot in the back at the river oaks location. Definitely recommend read more

Pros: The instructor was friendly, the class was challenging, and the music was fun. It was a solid workout. Cons: As mentioned in other reviews, the parking situation is a major problem. They cram 15 reformers (not typical reformers, but more like a knockoff of a lagree megaformer) in a dark, humid room. The guidance was not detailed and there were only a few options for up/down levels provided. The instructor spoke about how she's a school teacher and also teaches weightlifting and another fitness class. She's a fitness instructor without seriousness or focus in Pilates, and it showed. Overall, I walked away with a good workout, but this is an inferior experience to Defy or Boost (for Pilates) or HIP, Fyre, or FORM (for Lagree). It could also be potentially dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. I've been doing Pilates in Houston for 5+ years, and this was my worst experience yet. read more

I want to love this place but the parking is such a turn off. Instructors are amazing but the parking is a huge disadvantage. If you're usually one who's motivated to go workout after sitting in their lot for 15-20 minutes will definitely make you want to say just forget it and go home. read more

I have been coming here for about two years and truly it is a full body workout. Mind, body, and soul. All the women who work here are kind and helpful. They are training new teachers all the time and have a lot of diversity in the classes. Dani and Ashton make an effort to say hello to every client and answer all questions. They have a super cute boutique in the back also! Bring socks as they are required for classes here. read more

Probably my favorite Pilates studio in the area. The instructors are very friendly which make it easy to come into the studio and feel at ease. They work your butt off too- I always feel like the classes are well spent!! Classes are 45 minutes in length. There is a studio in Montrose too that covers class times this studio doesn't have (like a earlyyy morning one). It works with Class Pass (3 classes/mo max) which is a great way to try out Method if you're curious! read more

Well I love the stretch class but the reformer class doesn't work for me. I felt like I was going to injure myself using the machine and I don't feel this way at other studios like Boost. I feel the instructors don't always help your form and they don't always show you what to do. They didn't provide up and down levels. I like studios bigger on form and fine you options. I thought that one instructor was condescending too (Dani) but I liked others. read more

I'm SO sad. After reading the reviews on here I thought I'd give ol' Method a try! Very Disappointed. This place was not what others said it would be. I'm so disappointed. Wow! I didn't feel welcomed at all and the people here seem to be stuck in their own world. I want a place that feels like I'm welcomed and with people who seem to care that I exist in a class. It's not just about the music. On to the next.... :(((((( read more

Phew!!! Method Pilates will rock your world! From the moment you walk in to the second you leave you will feel inspired, motivated and successful! Be prepared for shakey legs and tingling abs! If you're looking for a fitness family that feels like home and keeps you tone, this is your place!! WARNING: may cause firm booty read more

Method Pilates - Pilates Near Me - Houston, Texas

Updating my review to 1 star bc as commented "I've never been to the location" so basically I'm a liar. Ugh! I wish I could give no sta This review is for the Montrose studio. I'm giving 2 stars bc I loved the layout of the studio. It was nice, I loved th blue. My first time at Method and I didn't enjoy my experience at all. It didn't feel at all welcoming. Dani was the teacher for this class and it just didn't feel right. The workout was okay. I left feeling like I honestly didn't do anything. I take Pilates at other studios all the time and thought I'd give Method a try since I'm literally always seeing them on insta rave about their workouts and how badass they are. Had I not known already or had experience in Pilates, I would've been clueless. Being a new client, she didn't explain the machine (which is not an allegro reformer) and didn't introduce herself. Parking was awful. Got there early and was late in the class bc I had to go find parking down the street in some weird ass place. Dani also seemed a bit rude. If this place were my first introduction to pilates, I'd never return or want to do Pilates ever again in life. Awful. HardCore Pilates, Defy, Citizen, & 713 are some of my favs! I like to switch it up and attend diff studios so it never gets boring for me. This place is not what it is hyped up to be. read more

I am OBSESSED with Method Pilates. As someone who hates lifting weights but wants to build muscle strength and tone - Pilates has quickly become one of my favorite workouts. My favorite instructor is Juliana. Her classes are challenging, dynamic, engaging, and her playlists are AMAZING. read more

I did a class here through class-pass. The studio was very clean. This is not a studio for people who are new to Pilates reformer. The instructor was rude and expected you to know Pilates terms, and would correct your form in a snobbish rude manner. Definitely won't be coming here again. Was not welcoming at all. It did leave me sore for days though. read more

Wowed by this workout. Dani is a great instructor and delivered an challenging class that worked out every muscle in my body while giving a fantastic stretch! As a reformer newbie she was super helpful with each move with patience and sweetness. Loved!!! read more

What a workout! I've done classes with Equinox and other studios in the past but Method has by far been the best. The staff and instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. Method has such a friendly, upbeat, and supportive environment. Not to mention all the promos and membership deals as well! read more

Great workout, great atmosphere, and friendly instructors! What else could you ask for? Method is by far my favorite group fitness studio in Houston. I have found each class to be very challenging, and the instructors do a great job of switching up routines to alleviate the monotony of the typical "gym workout". Additionally, you really get the sense that the instructors have a genuine interest in every client and are very knowledgeable. So whether you're a Pilates pro or simply looking to give it a shot, I strongly recommend Method. read more

All of the instructors at Method are AWESOME. Especially Dani! Such a convenient location for me and they really did a beautiful job with the entire studio. I highly recommend you take a class ASAP! You will be hooked in no time! read more

Probably the most amazing Pilates class I have ever taken. Ashton is such an amazing instructor! The classes are hard but fun!! I've been going to the classes at the location off Taft and the studio there is absolutely perfect! Highly recommend method Pilates to anyone whether you are a beginner or more advanced! read more

Method Pilates has hands down the BEST of pilates in Houston. They have knowledgeable instructors that work through the body in a smart effective way... you will leave there feeling your best and see results after just a few sessions! read more

I just wanted to post an update to my previous review. I still don't like this pilates studio compared to others I have gone to. The reason for that is the complete lack of focus on flexibility and singular focus on squats. I personally think that highlights the lack of versatility the instructors take to pilates instruction. I will be going elsewhere. That said, I do have to say that I took another class on a different day with Caitlin and she was wonderful. She was positive and motivating. read more

Came to this studio at my workout partner's request, as I've only tried Pilates a few times and wasn't really a fan of the type of workout. Immediately upon entering I felt a great vibe...very clean, high energy, and inviting. The instructor did a great job of catering to me and my uncomfortable feeling on the machines, taking time to explain how they work and ensuring I was using every part of it correctly. After one class I could feel results in lots of areas my typical workouts just don't get to!! Looking forward to getting my butt back in this studio, see you this weekend! read more

I am brand new to pilates and the instructors have helped me so much so far! I'm about to take my third class and this is the only workout I have enjoyed. I have health concerns - low blood pressure so I pass out easily - and the instructors have made sure I was okay or took breaks throughout the work out! read more

Method Pilates is by far one of my favorite Pilates studios in Houston! Their clean & modern atmosphere coupled with motivating & hands-on instructors, always leaves me feeling challenged and stronger! I highly reccomend trying out this studio, you won't be disappointed! This is a class that I am always excited to attend. read more

Challenging and well balanced. Best and friendliest instructors around. Great music and immaculate studio

Absolutely love the vibe here! Excellent classes and really friendly staff. I will definitely be coming back here for more!

Absolutely love Method Pilates! The staff, the workouts, the hours, the studio! I first joined Method to try out the mega reformer machines, loved it! I was worried after the introductory rate ended at the rice village location I wouldn't be able to continue Pilates. Then they opened the Montrose location! The staff listens to their clients requests!! They were running a special and extended the offer, as requested! Go check it out, you won't be disappointed! All of the ladies have incredible love for teaching! S/O to my usual instructors, Dani and Caitlin read more

Method Pilates is Awesome! It's a great workout that leaves you feeling stronger after each class! If you're looking for a fun, empowering, different approach to fitness, I highly recommend you give Method a try! There are classes to accommodate all schedules and two central locations so no excuses!!! read more

I've been to probably 7 different Pilates locations and I was never very impressed, however I have finally found my home! (Thank god). The instructor was fantastic and pushed us the exact level we each individually needed... and I can really feel the difference after each class. Not that most people care about this but their studio is very sleek and modern with just the fundamentals which is what I love... it's all about the workout, no fluffy extra decorations distracting from what I'm there to focus on: my body and my attitude. I've loved it so far and I encourage everyone to go try it !!! read more

I love this pilates studio! The reformers are custom made and fit my long frame like a charm. Every instructor has been amazing, with Ashton's class being the one I probably frequent the most. There's ample parking and the music is legit. Liv is also really funny, and makes you forget you're twitching and burning. Definitely give both locations a try! Rice Village is great as well and parking is across the street for FREE in Village Square (I'm front of Island Grill), or parallel behind the building. :) read more

I've been doing pilates at Method for almost 6 months now and I can easily say it's one of the best full body work outs I have ever done. Not only are the classes fun, but the instructors are fun and engaging. The instructors at Method set them apart from any other pilates studio in Houston. Every class is up beat, the time passes so fast it doesn't even feel like 50 minutes. It's a work out like no other! read more

This is my favorite Pilates studio I've ever been to. The instructors all have different routines with their own playlists. I have yet to attend a class that wasn't fun and challenging. They make sure you are doing the moves correctly, which I really appreciate. I can tell that the classes are working because I look and feel fitter. I only wish I'd signed up for unlimited classes sooner. read more

Hands down the best Pilates studio in town! All of the instructors are amazing! I've completed 20 classes so far and I can only feel myself getting stronger each class! read more

ABSOLUTELY love Method Pilates! I honestly keep falling in love with it more and more each time I go. I have tried Pilates before but did not like it, but Method Pilates is different and GREAT! These workouts are a fun, empowering, and burning (in a good way) workout. Liv and Dani are great instructors who are technical with form and knows when to push you! A class at Method makes me forget all my worries and just be present because of the great instructors there! Also appreciate the sound advice Liv gives every morning, it's a great bonus! read more

What can I say? Dani knows her stuff. Awesome class that maximizes every body part and utilizes every bit of my 50 min well during lunch especially. Attention to form and detail to execution of each exercise is spot on. I will make this my lunchtime work out. If you don't do anything else right, at least schedule a class here and you will thank yourself!!!! read more

Method Pilates is such a positive and engaging workout environment! As someone who loooaathes counting reps in a work out, I LOVE that the movements are designed to go to the tempo of fun upbeat music! That way you get in a high amount of reps without any dreaded countdown. Every workout is the perfect challenge as well! It's never too slow to the point I don't feel like I'm pushing myself or getting my moneys worth, but it's not so unbearably challenging that I'm not excited to go. It really is the perfect, manageable workout routine to grow long lean muscle. I also love the wide range of instructors to choose from. If I'm having a day where I'm feeling particularly unmotivated I will make a point to take class with an instructor that I know will hold me accountable and push me to challenge myself! If I'm looking for something a little more relaxed I'll take one of the Friday afternoon courses with the instructor that really takes the time to work through the exercises with you and focus on winding down your week. Method really is what you make of it! Plus the classes are 50 minutes. There is no excuse to not workout for 50 minutes in a day :) read more
