I've attended two classes here, and both have been great! In my first class (Level 1), we focused on stretching, basic movements, and light core work. The second class (Level 2) focused more on core exercises and other body areas. I definitely felt the change in intensity! My instructor was Dariia and she provided positive feedback and coaching throughout the session. The music playlist complemented the sessions perfectly. The studio is clean, organized, and each station is well-equipped. I appreciate the board clearly indicating the equipment needed for each class (such as yoga mats or chairs, which are provided). The waiting area is modest with a few seats. And inside there are cubbies to store personal items, and shoes can be placed on the floor. The restroom is clean, and there's ample parking available in the lot. Don't forget to bring grip socks! And definitely bring a water bottle. I bought a class package and look forward to coming to this location. read more

Pilates V - Pilates Near Me - San Jose, California

Pilates V has become such a positive environment for me. I feel light and graceful when I'm performing the moves, and I love the welcoming atmosphere. As a plus sized woman who is currently on a weight-loss and health journey, this feeling is priceless. I've been taking Pilates for about a year, sticking to level V1 classes. After losing quite a bit of weight, I decided to give V2 classes a try. I am SO glad that my V2 class was with Dariia!! She is a challenging teacher, but she is also SO encouraging. I had told her before class that I was really new to V2 and that my first class hadn't gone very well. She was so supportive and encouraging throughout, and I felt like I could do the movements. And for those that were still out of reach, I could see a path forward for achieving them soon. At the end of class Dariia told me how well I had done. And I agreed! While the movements were really challenging and I wasn't perfect at all of them, they were achievable. And I felt so proud of myself. Mostly because of Dariia. All of the teachers at Pilates V are so professional and friendly. They respectfully ask if they can help correct a movement so that you aren't doing it incorrectly and possibly injuring yourself. They remember students names, greet everyone as they come into the studio, and have such positive, happy demeanors. I attend classes 3-4 times a week, at both the Willow Glen and Campbell locations. I can't recommend Pilates V more highly! read more

Friend and I started our Pilates journey just a couple months ago at Pilates V! They offer free intro classes to test out Pilates equipments to learn how to use them and basic knowledge of pilates. It was easy to book an appointment on their website and staffs were very helpful and attentive to my questions via texts and emails. Instructors are professional and love how they focus on getting to get work done. read more

Such a great Pilates studio! They're wonderful at communicating and I really appreciate instructors Alexis and Sheri! Both are quite invested in each client and take the time to help you. The studio has 12 reformers and signing up for membership allows you to take classes at the other locations too. read more

This review is long overdue! I have wanted to try Pilates for years. Months ago, I finally got around to signing up for the new client special unlimited pass at Pilates V. Safe to say, I fell in love with Pilates! So much so, that I signed up for their unlimited monthly pass. It's one of my FAV workouts I've ever tried. I try to go 3-4 times a week and I'm loving the results I see & feel in my body. I've been to the Willow Glen, Campbell & Sunnyvale locations and they are all great! The studios are clean and the instructors are very knowledgeable! I've never had a bad experience with any of the instructors and I think I've taken classes with most of them. All of the instructors are fantastic, but Alexis is my favorite! I always leave her classes feeling amazing, stronger, and grounded. I was nervous to try the Reformer at first since I had zero experience with it, but the crew at Pilates V makes you feel comfortable with no judgment! I highly recommend this studio if you are looking to get into Pilates! read more

I have seen a major change in my body in little over one month. I joined with the promotional one month unlimited and have gone min 5x a week and love all the classes and instructors. I have gone to both the Willow Glen and Campbell locations. Each class there is something new. I have loved it so much my 3 daughters have joined as well read more

**UPDATE** I'm updating my review after a conversation with the store manager over a late policy incident. She was very professional and understanding and helped resolve my frustration. I appreciate the professionalism and am willing to give another try. read more

Today marks my final day after a year and a half of membership in Pilates V's unlimited program, and I must say I feel relieved! First, the positives: several of the instructors are quite good. This is the sole reason I stayed with Pilates V as long as I did, and why I am giving it a 2-star rating. However, the good instructor classes fill up quickly so you may not get the full benefit of your membership specially if you are limited to after work hours and weekends. And, the downsides are: 1. Pilates V's onerous cancellation policy and their strict enforcement of it, and 2. Their unpleasant client-facing communications person. Be prepared to pay cancellation fees, even if you are a disciplined planner, as same-day emergencies and issues will inevitably arise. While you get ONE waiver they will not care about any emergencies or issues you face thereafter. Woke up with sore throat and flu? Come in anyway or pay $15. Parent hospitalized? Too bad. Have to leave out of town because son in an accident? Pay up the $15. Stuck in unforeseen traffic? Too bad. So, whatever budget you have set aside for Pilates, I would tack on more because no matter how disciplined or diligent you are, life's mishaps don't give you 24 hours notice. In my view, a more fair cancellation policy, if there is to be strict enforcement, would be to provide members, specially those with unlimited membership, 3-5 waivers a month. As for their customer-facing communications person, be prepared for one of the more negative customer service experiences you have encountered (the primary reason I feel relieved that today is my last day). AI-capable robots would respond to your emergencies or issues with more compassion and care than the Pilates V's representative (I believe her name is Katelyn). Can't blame her entirely - emotional intelligence must rank well down management's priority list as far as their customer rep(s) go. Exercise is supposed to be for physical and mental health. Brace yourself for a fair bit of frustration. read more

Fully equipped studio with 12 reformers. Experienced and professional staff. Easy to use website. I went in during my two weeks traveling in San José and tried to go everyday. They have a wonderful intro class and several options for all levels and needs. read more

Pilates V - Quick change between classes - Pilates Near Me - San Jose, California

This review is LONG LONG overdue! I have been going to several of the local Pilates V studios for over 3 years (Sunnyvale and Palo Alto originally, then moved to Willow Glen and go there and Campbell) - with big gaps during the Pandemic. I have tried other Pilates studios but found the instructors and families at the locally owned Pilates V one of the best. They have a strong instructor training program and hire strong née instructors too, who each bring their own personality to the classes. There is a max of 12 people in the classes, these are mostly reformer (a Pilates exercise machine) classes, and they also have privates. They also have restorative class that I love (think stretching, rolling and meditative breathing for 45 mins!) If you don't know, Pilates is a type of mind-body exercise developed in the early 20th century by German physical trainer Joseph Pilates, after whom it was named. It performed on yoga mats or on machines (a reformer, the chair....) with springs, straps and rollers, allowing many exercises to be performed on your back/side. It focuses in building your core, and it's results are truly amazing. I first looked into Pilates because I had foot pain that restricted my ability to do many other standing exercises. I also had knee and back pain, and was pretty overweight. I didn't care for the first couple of studios I tried as the instructors were not very good - and this is key for any exercise class, especially Pilates! I then tried Pilates V, and have stuck with them, before and after the pandemic. The results have been MIRACULOUS- Fast forward several years and I am 35 lbs lighter, my back and knees don't hurt anymore because my core and whole body are so much stronger, even my feet are better!.... I can hold a plank for much longer, have advanced to their more advanced classes and can feel the difference. If I don't attend class I feel tighter and really miss the feeling of having a good mind-body exercise routine. The studios are very clean, students clean after each class. With safe cleaning solutions. They even opened up when allowed during the pandemic, and had exceptional cleaning, procedures, hand sanitizer and temp checks, and even had a UV light sanitizer between classes. Very conscientious and concerned for their instructors and students. Pilates V has changed my life for the better and I appreciate all that the studio and instructors do for us students, they have built a strong community! My only wish is more men attending the classes, but I have always felt welcome as one of the 1-2 men in the glasses. read more

I used to practice Pilates regularly but lost the habit during the pandemic. It took me a while to get restarted and I am so glad I have. My previous practice was at a private studio with one other couple. While I loved the small class environment, the teacher, and the company, scheduling was tough. After a couple of years, I yearned for more frequent practice with utmost flexibility. Enter Pilates V. I wasn't quite sure how I would respond to the much larger group setting, but I was pleasantly surprised how cosy it felt. Once you are on the reformer (equivalent of being on the yoga mat for me), you can be focused on your own journey but with the added benefit of the camaraderie of the shared experiences. Classes do not feel crowded, the reformers are well positioned to allow plenty of room to navigate. Another surprise for me is the caliber and care of the teachers here. They care about your wellbeing journey and do the best you can do help guide you individually whenever feasible. If you have been thinking about it for a while, I'd encourage you to make the plunge. Even after just one month, you will benefit from the stronger body and peaceful mind. Oh, one more thing. If you have any questions or concerns about your membership or any other topic, simply email the office. And you will be in Katelyn's good hands. She has been amazingly responsive and always solves whatever issues you may have with such a positive attitude. read more

I am glad to have found a local Pilates club that offer frequent classes in several different locations. While Willow Glen studio is the closest one from my home, I have been frequenting to Campbell studio as well depending on the availability and timing of each classes. To me, this is the number one reason to stay with Pilates V vs. a single studio environment where your options are limited expecially when it comes to a last minute booking. Flexibility in booking classes with various levels in a nice studio environemtn is number one priority for me and Pilates V delivers. read more

I was a member here when they first opened and recently returned. Wow, has this place gone downhill! The main issues are: 1) they oversell memberships so there are barley any classes available when you go to sign up. They are understaffed and know it, so should not be overselling these memberships until they have the staff to teach classes. 2) Due to the above issues with booking a class, you can sign up for a waitlist. They have a late cancel policy, which has always been difficult to swallow, but somewhat understandable. The policy is that you are charged 15$ for cancelling in less than 12 hours of a class you signed up for. However, they also have a late cancel policy for waitlist classes that is atrocious. If you don't check your email on the hour to see if you have been moved from the waitlist, they also charge you the 15$ fee. Therefore, on top of the 230$ monthly fee, you are charged these fees as well. This was my response from the company: "After looking at your account it looks like you were automatically enrolled yesterday at 4:15pm to the 5pm class today and an email was sent (see screenshot). All clients are in charge of their own waitlists and all fees are charged as normal for late cancels or no show fees." So because I did not check my email within the 45 minute timeframe, I am now being charged. The suggestion was also to get text messages from the company; what if I don't have my phone with me for an hour because I decide to unplug (for my own health). read more

I love Pilates V! I started off using the Groupon and was in love with the workout so ended up signing for the unlimited package. I usually try to go 3 times per week and my core strength and posture has improved so much since starting. I'm very impressed with the instructors here and also the other members. Everyone is so kind and respectful. I always look forward to my classes. They have different levels and they definitely let you know if you are okay to advance or not. So if you are looking to improve your core and posture then come to Pilates! I'm looking forward to more results in the near future! read more

Pilates V - Reformer - Pilates Near Me - San Jose, California

I've been wanting to try Pilates for several years but it wasn't until I had a running injury that I started to look into a studio to join near me. I was surprised to learn PIlates V was at a strip mall near me, I had walked or driven by the location several times but never noticed. My expectations were low given the exterior but I was very pleasantly surprised by how calm, clean, and modern the interior is. I started with the 1 month introductory month and was able to experiment classes with different instructors. There are a few instructors I really prefer taking classes from. Genie in particular is my favorite, she incorporates a sense of humor and fun into her classes while always challenging you. I am enjoying pilates so much and I look forward to making it to classes! read more

I got kicked out of my very first class ever with this studio because I was 10 minutes late and had to drive back home wasting time and no one wanted to make it right. Disappointing experience for me. read more

I have been a long time customer with Pilates V (been taking privates for over an year now) and with the departure of some of their great teachers such as Allie and Cecilia, I have not come across other teachers who have that approach with their clients like they did. These teachers know what Pilates is and how to take care of their students. Clear communication etc is not your cup of tea (especially among your teachers like Shannon) around your policy. Very disappointed and Pilates V has just lost a customer. read more

Took a few classes here and do far I love it! The teachers are great and love the ease of booking/paying online before the class. Only downside is classes fill up fast. read more

Goods: 1. One of the cleanest studios I have ever been to and it smells great 2. Lots of classes to offer for different levels 3. Friendly and helpful staff that makes you feel welcomed. 4. Smaller classrooms compared to some other group classes like yoga or HIIT classes, you don't feel cramped. In my own subjective view, I'd like the class to be darker and not have bright lights on the ceiling (it's hard on my eyes). I also wish there are more v2+trx class offered earlier in the mornings. read more

Holy sore abs that I never knew I had!!! I am in love with Pilates and this location. Let's say my intro class was with Sharon and what an amazing instructor and woman. It all started with a Groupon, now I am so impressed I am getting a membership! Professional, fun, clean, and over all amazing people. Low resistance work outs that are proving to tone me up. This is a MUST TRY!!! read more

I joined Pilates V a couple of months ago after taking a free intro class with Annie. The intro class was excellent. Annie introduced the participants to the basics of reformer pilates and spent a considerable amount of time reviewing the safety and hygiene procedures at the studio. I left the class and immediately signed up for the unlimited monthly pass. I have been attending around 5 classes a week and already see a remarkable difference in my strength, posture, breathing and a reduction in anxiety. I am a plus size woman and my size does not get in the way of me participating in any of the activities. The instructors are extremely professional and knowledgeable, they explain what muscles you are working on and why and guide you through each exercise with passion. My absolute favorite class of the week is the Thursday night Restorative class with Alexis. Using the BOSU, foam roller, yoga strap, pilates chair, spiky ball etc Alexis guides you through 50 mins of stretching and breathing in a calm and relaxing environment. Joining Pilates V has been one of the best decisions I have made and I look forward to continuing to nourish my body with their help. read more

I love this new studio!!! It's VERY clean, open and artful! I feel so comfortable working out here. I have been with Pilates V Sunnyvale for about 7 months and they have helped me get in good shape! Their teachers are very knowledgeable and tough. They push you but understand when you can do what you can do. It's a great balance. I feel very cared for by everyone at this studio. Also I love how easy it is to find a class that fits my VERY busy schedule! I always find one which hasn't been the case at other studios! These guys deliver the goods!! Now they are close to my house with this studio and I am thrilled! Thanks guys for bringing a very easy to use, high quality Pilates studio to the South Bay! We needed it! read more

If you are a new prospective client, don't bother signing up. Pilates V has gotten too big for their own good. Classes are always full 2 weeks in advance and waitlist is often pointless. Just like a doctor who says they are not accepting new patients, Pilates V should also know to stop accepting more when the current clients are not able to get the benefit of their membership. Yet if you miss a class, they zap you with $15 and $25 late cancel fees. It's all about their bottom line. read more

Pilates V is a great studio for any level of training. I moved here 5/26/18 and started looking for a studio before i got moved. I was a bit intimidated because the studio id been going to for 11months was in a small town and only 8 reformers. I fell in love with Pilates at this studio in Lompoc Ca, and although i miss the teachers and students, ive been welcomed at Pilates V by all the teachers and they are really awesome teachers. I encourage anyone looking to start out or advance to join Pilates V. It has certainly helped me. read more

I had never tried pilates before so I decided to do an intro class to learn the reformer and the different techniques. I've taken more classes since then and it has really helped my back! You learn techniques on proper breathing, good back positioning, and stretches as well. As you progress through the moves, you get a good workout for your triceps, legs, abs and other muscle groups. The instructors are sooo good and dedicated (Leanne and Allie are awesome!). Facilities are super clean and the studio is a good size (12 people at a time) so it doesn't get too crowded. I like this location because there's plenty of parking. Be sure to bring grip socks! I got mine from Amazon. Overall, great positive environment. read more

In attempting to book my first session with Pilates V, I received numerous text messages from two different people, emails from two different people, and voicemails addressing me as if I was another student (with a different name). All this before my first class. And when I responded in either of those methods, I wouldn't get a response until three days later. I think they are either too large to communicate effectively, lack transparency, or are embarrassingly hungry for new students. I'm not sure. Regardless, I signed up for the unlimited one-month trial for $139. I ended up going to 15 classes so I feel like I got the lay of the land. - A majority of classes spend too much time on transitions and not enough time actually exercising. That's because the way instructors would arrange workouts required a lot of transitions. Going from placing the box to the top of the carriage, to your back on the floor on a mat, to straps around your feet, to using the horse, to using TRX cables, all in 45 minutes. The workouts are complicated to set up with little to no natural flow, which reduces time actually spent using the equipment in an effective way. I think they try too hard to use ALL the equipment in EVERY class. - The instructor named Grecia is super mean. I attended three of her classes and she yelled at people to clean up (like... everyone is an adult) and barked commands in a confusing way so people were often doing the "wrong" thing, which angered her even more. For example, a command would be "put your left arm up. NO, UP! I SAID UP, PEOPLE!" and everyone would awkwardly look around at each other because "up" can mean a lot of different things and what she meant was elbow, not arm. Her classes are very uncomfortable. - The instructor named Grace was mostly ok. But if there are students who aren't doing stuff 100% correctly, she would ask them how many V1 classes they had been to. Like, while the workout was going on. That's kind of embarrassing. They have this whole thing about V1 being "level 1" type of classes, and V2 being "level 2" but due to the range in teaching styles, I found it irrelevant. And what? If someone had responded that they hadn't "mastered" V1, they'd have to leave? Questions like that are so passive-aggressive and unnecessary to paying customers who just want to do movements correctly, and sign up for classes based on their own schedules. - Jumpboard taught by Annie would be one of my favorite classes. Annie was a good teacher, with clear instructions, and a calm demeanor. I went to three of her classes and they were always packed, every Reformer booked. I would recommend Jumpboard because it works your calves in a unique way. - Instructors Shannon and Leanne were nice too. - The front desk consists of an guy who doesn't greet anyone and is on his laptop. I saw him every time and nobody ever said anything to him. I'm unclear what role he plays. - The studio only has one bathroom. A lot of people were "late" to classes because they were waiting for the bathroom. Overall, the studio was clean and in a central location. It's not very private because every single person walking out of Safeway can watch you, especially when it's dark outside and glaringly lit up with fluorescents on the inside. Other than that, I didn't feel the need to prolong my membership because of the vast inconsistencies in teaching style and communication. read more

Pilates V has a talented team of instructors and they offer flexible class times throughout the day. They currently have three convenient locations, all close to major freeways, and they are opening a studio in Palo Alto very soon. As good as it gets... Jill read more

I've been going to this Pilates studio in Willow Glen for over 6 months. I am so impressed with the level of professionalism of every instructor, quality of the equipment, and cleanliness of the studio. Of the many really great instructors, I am most impressed by Angelynn Sawyer! She obviously loves training her clients. She is so knowledgeable and passes everything she knows to us in a fun and motivating way. Her Reformer + F.I.T. classes provides the BEST workout in 50 minutes that I have every experienced. The combo workout does so much for my body in a short period of time. I only wish there more Reformer + F.I.T. classes than the current 2/week. read more

I've been taking classes through Pilates V 2-3 times per week for about a month (11 classes total). I love it! I'm still taking v1 classes, but I've already noticed a huge improvement in my overall strength. I'm training for a marathon, and I'm going to stick with Pilates V as my strength routine. I'm able to get strength, stretching, and convenient studio in one. When I was considering looking for a pilates studio with reformers, there were a lot of mixed reviews about studios that made you share a reformer or an instructor that did a workout while teaching the class. I decided to give Pilates V a shot because they had a great offer (free v0 class, plus 5 class for $49). I was pleased that there are 12 reformers and a maximum of 12 students. All of the teachers are great (Judy is my favorite). With a small class size, you get a lot of attention if you need it. The classes are always different, and you work muscle groups several times in different ways. Another thing that's great about Pilates V is the parking. The fitness studios on Lincoln rarely have parking, but Pilates V shares a large parking lot. I've been able to find a close parking spot every class. read more

Perfect workouts, clean, great instructors. Love this place. So much different than the gym...... read more

Pilates V has opened up a location closer to my home, and it's a great facility with a knowledgeable, attentive instructor: Judy. There are more reformers at this location than the Sunnyvale location to accommodate bigger classes. However, don't worry about hearing the instructor since they have a microphone system to hear all instructions clearly. Judy pays special attention to clients who need modified movements to accommodate precious injuries. Be sure to take advantage of the grand opening special to get a great foundation in Pilates technique and come back for more! read more

I've been looking for a Pilates studio and I think I've found the one! I signed up for the v0 class online which is an introductory class. When I say introductory, I mean introductory! Our instructor was Grecia and she was awesome! This class is really to explain Pilates, the benefits of it and how to properly use the equipment. It's 90% talking and 10% actually using the equipment. I think this class is great and beneficial if you are new to Pilates. The facility is super clean and the all of the equipment looks brand new. I will definitely be taking some additional intro classes and hopefully move my way up in the Pilates world. read more

I was new to pilates reformer classes, and felt a little intimidated. But hip pain was preventing me from being able to dance and run, so I knew I needed to do something to help strengthen my core. After seeing a physio for a few months, I decided to give pilates reformer a try, and haven't looked back since. I joined Pilates V in Willow Glen with a Groupon. You have to participate in an orientation/training session which is free of charge before you can join any of the classes. This was a great introduction and opportunity to learn about the equipment and the positions before starting a class. I've had a chance to take classes with several different instructors, and they are all different and run their classes slightly differently. I like that. If you want a harder workout that makes you sweat, there's an instructor for that. If you want a more relaxing workout that focuses on breathing, there's an instructor for that too. Selecting and booking classes is easy online. Sometimes I've been in a class at full capacity (10 or 12 I think), and other times there has been just me and one other. There are benefits to both! The facility itself is clean and comfortable. All the staff are friendly, approachable and helpful. I've met some wonderful people there and hope to become a regular here :-) read more

I will be forever grateful to my daughter, Adrienne, for convincing me to try Pilates. Life changing! I am in my mid-60's and have had back issues for decades. I can now walk almost pain-free, thanks to these classes. The instructors are superb! read more

Lovely Pilates studio in WG. Their TRX combination class as well as others I've taken are on point and get the job done!

I've been going to this pilates studio for 2 months now and I love it! Instructors: - I love Giselli's Sat/Sun morning V2 classes. It is the kick I need to get my day started! She does bursts and you can really feel the burn! - Judy's style is totally different and I like to take her evening classes, because she has a soothing voice that totally relaxes me. read more

Love this studio and love the instructors. The only reason why I have this 4 stars instead of 5 is that sometimes the instructions given in class are complicated or inconsistent.. I think I took a class with ... Judy? or Julie? (or maybe that's not even close to her name) and my friends and I were incredibly confused throughout the class. read more

Professional, friendly instructors. Great new equipment. Nice clean space.

This is one of my favorite pilates studios, and I go to several. It's the most affordable and has the most variety. I like how there are tons of classes offered in the evenings, so I can come in after work. TRX with Cecilia is my favorite class because of her intensity and knowledge, so I try to go in on a weekly basis. read more
