I've been coming to Club Pilates on and off for about 2 years and while the instructors and classes…read morethemselves have been great, the way memberships and cancellations are handled has made my overall experience very negative. The first time I canceled my membership which was about a year ago, I didn't have any issues. The second time in March, has been incredibly frustrating. I was told I was too late to cancel for April because they require a 30 day notice. Even though I had already paid for unlimited monthly access for March, I was still charged again for April. What made things worse was how difficult it was to get in contact with anyone. In March I called multiple times a day for several days with no response and eventually had to physically go into the studio just to get confirmation that I would not continue being charged after April. Not to mention, the person at the front desk got into a defensive tone with me when I explained my situation. She repeated that they have a 30 day notice for cancelations which by then, I was well aware of and I was only there in person because I was getting no response to my emails or phone calls. I didn't even receive an email confirmation until April 14th, after I had already been charged. Now it's mid May, and I was charged yet again last week around midnight. I called and luckily someone answered this time and told me I would receive a refund. I still have not received it. Since then, I've called several more times and once again have gotten no answer. This level of communication and billing management is unacceptable, especially for a membership based business. I should not have to repeatedly chase down staff just to stop incorrect charges and get basic confirmation about my account. One last thing about my overall experience is that I discovered that the unlimited monthly classes is not technically unlimited. They max out at 15 per month and you have to wait until you finish a class to book another appointment. At a $260 monthly fee, this seemed a bit odd to enforce when it's already extremely difficult to book a class because they fill up really quickly and tend to have shorter studio hours on certain days.

I started at Pushes and Pulls with Marsha and Steve a couple of months ago. I have been practicing…read morePilates on and off for the past 15 years with an amazing array of instructors; however, I must say that Marsha is the crème de la crème! She knows everything about the body -- how it moves, why certain muscles ache, etc. All I have to do is tell her, "I felt a pinch right here when I did that movement," and she always knows what muscle is affected and why, then she will have me adjust my posture or movement and voila! everything is in working order! I always have a great time during my workouts, both Marsha and Steve are so much fun and I can't say enough about how wonderful they are as instructors. I highly recommend Pushes and Pulls for Pilates novices and ol' pros alike. Before I forget, Marsha introduced me to Gyrotonic and it is AMAZING, albeit challenging at times, but it is so worth it.

Very excited to review Marsha. I worked with her at another studio for over a year. I was post…read morespine surgery and had barely any movement in my spine. Before I had spine surgery I was jogger and did yoga for years. One day my back went out and even after surgery I could do nothing. Then someone suggested Pilates. I researched and found Marsha at a studio in San Francisco. Martha's knowledge of anatomy and movement is incredible. She started me slow off at first with mat Pilates and then Cadillac, Reformer and Chair and finally introduced me to Gyrotonic. Adding Gyrotonic showed me that I could one day get back to yoga, which I've now been back doing about a year. She's patient and encouraging. She even wanted to look at MRI reports I had and asked questions of my physical therapist and physicians so she could properly guide me and get me back to an active physical life. I owe a lot to Marsha.

I'm not sure how I've never reviewed the space before, but I am super picky with my Pilates…read moreclasses. I live in Vancouver, Washington and I drive all the way to this studio in the Beaverton/ Hillsboro area at least once a week. I love that the instructors have a variety of teaching modalities. And you can find one that works for you. As I work in healthcare and I'm really focused on hormone regulation, I have been enjoying classes that are not hit workouts. I also walk every day, do yoga, and lift weights separate from these classes, but really see Pilates as a place to lengthen and strengthen your muscles and relax. It's definitely not the hardest workout. I do but something about it keeps me coming back. My favorite instructors are Michael and Dahn. I like how they bring a lot of mindfulness and self-awareness to their classes and focus on body mind connection. Which is what I like about Pilates and also that they keep the entire class on the reformer. I'm not a fan of Matt Pilates or doing all the extra things off of the reformer so anyone that focuses on that is preferred for me. I also like that neither of them talks too much. I feel like I've been to some Pilates studios where you can't keep up with what they're saying and focus on your body at the same time. They have the perfect balance of explaining how to do something and where to feel it without being verbose. The only area of improvement to me is the music. I feel like every time I visit the playlist are very similar no matter who is teaching or there's no music and I feel like music can make a workout go by a lot faster if it has a good energy and BPM. But I probably don't like music that is traditionally Pilates style haha. I am ex is the best studio in the Portland Metro area and I hope they open one in Vancouver.

The owner of the business worked with me to see that I was able to get the instruction I needed (Michael is an excellent and patient instructor) to understand the intricacies and mechanics involved with the exercises. I have found Pilates to be VERY beneficial. The other instructors whose classes I've taken are also very attentive to helping and correcting my form when necessary. And Phong, the owner, is easy to work with; especially when you have scheduling problems. He has even made it easy for you to try Pilates out at a reduced rate. There is a scheduling app that is easy to use once you learn how (and don't forget your password). If you have ever wondered if Pilates is for you, this is a great place to find out!

I had a mostly positive experience here during my pregnancy, and usually enjoyed classes…read more After giving birth, it has been hard to make it in on regular basis as I struggle with balancing being a new mom, work, and my health. As I try to get back into prioritizing my health again, I had suspended my membership but still enjoyed drop in classes. I even still paid the $39 (increased) one time class fee. So after having a night where I struggled all night with a sick baby, I was so proud of myself that I STILL made it into the 6am class (I can only make it in before she wakes up and my husband goes to work). I did arrive a few minutes late and it took me another minute to get my shoes off and coat hung (it was 607 when I was ready to get on the reformed). It was quite disappointing that I was denied entry at this time. A company that lacks any compassion or flexibility is not a company I plan to frequent or refer others to in the future. It is also worth noting that I was denied entry by an instructor I've been treated rudely by in the past which makes me question if she has an underlying bias against me (perhaps against people of color or plus size women) as she was the only one to repeatedly attempt to deny me entry or challenge my ability to do the class while I was pregnant (despite providing physician documentation and no push back from other instructors). This is not a business I will be returning to.

I am disappointed to be writing such a negative review, but want to save others their time and…read moreespecially their money by avoiding this studio. The classes are ALWAYS waitlisted - you have to sign up weeks in advance to get a spot, and the late cancellation fees are steep. The workouts are the most repetitive and ineffective of any other pilates studio I have attended. The instructors do not give any modifications on how to make any of the movements more challenging or provide suggestions to increase intensity. Some of the instructors are great, but there are a couple that come off quite rude and make no effort to get to you, even if you attend class everyday for months. There is no initial communication about how to "level up" and once you finally jump through all of the hoops to attend a Level 2 class, they are only offered on a very limited schedule. The studio was always FREEZING and the music was often very quiet so all you can hear is others audibly breathing. When I tried to cancel my membership, I provided the written 30 day notice, but they say that due to the "billing cycle" cadence, I have to pay for almost an entire extra month of my membership. It is not ever made clear when the billing cycle is, or by which date you would need to cancel to avoid being billed another entire month so BEWARE. They are extremely unresponsive and it all feels like a total scam. I have attended so many different studios, specifically Pilates, and was so disappointed that this one was not worth the high price tag.
