Great class. Deep work. Full body. Good instruction so you do not hurt yourself but work slow, deep and strong. Also fun! #Alina

I had a great first experience at ProPilates. Signing up for classes online is straightforward and easy. Initially, I signed up for the 9:00 a.m. class. However, I had a schedule conflict so called in to see if it was possible for me to switch to an earlier class. I spoke with Rose and she gladly was able to accommodate my request. I attended Matthew's 8:00 a.m. group class. Being that this is the beginning of my Pilates journey, Matthew did an incredible job at explaining what we were doing so that I fully understood each move. He was also giving feedback throughout the class and helping each person make adjustments as needed. I felt my muscles engaging and felt so satisfied about completing a solid, challenging workout. I also had the opportunity to speak with the owner of ProPilates, Tonka. She asked poignant questions to understand my fitness and personal goals. She also welcomed me to reach out to her for more information. I left feeling amazing and also appreciated the professionalism of the staff. Rose is so friendly! And Matthew, Tonka and Rose were very helpful. I look forward to my next class at ProPilates and would definitely recommend them! read more

This is a very professional studio. The owner, Tonka, has been giving Pilates instruction for many years in Ft Lauderdale. I am happy to have found her. Her approach is informed by knowledge of neurophysiology. Much more comprehensive than the usual local pilates instruction. I have not gone beyond pilates but I believe there are other opportunities with a physical therapist or massage therapist. The studio is large and welcoming. read more

I highly recommend Pro Pilates and Tonka for private Pilates sessions. I cannot say enough good things about her! She is so much more than a Pilates guide. She is knowledgeable in all areas of health and well being. Having suffered from Lyme disease for many years, I have seen more practitioners than I can count and she really knows what she's talking about. The classes and lymphatic massage services are also out of the world. read more

Title: More than Pilates! Neurological Body Synchronization Helped Heal My Broken Leg This studio isn't your average pilates place. 7 months after surgery for a broken leg, physical therapy wasn't quite cutting it. I still couldn't walk correctly and my knee and hip started to hurt and I developed 2 stress fractures from excessive PT. At the urging of a friend, I read about Pro Pilates and the owner's training and background and decided to call for information. Rose at the front desk was incredibly friendly and helpful and explained my options at the studio. I started 1 on 1 with an instructor and she consulted with the owner (Tonka) who immediately scheduled me for specific sessions with her and the program she developed called Neurological Body Synchronization. Tonka's experience and expertise is profound. She studied many disciplines to learn how the body and nervous system work together. This program is quite unique. Much like you can reset your computer to factory settings, NBS is like rebooting your system and eliminating compensatory patterns during recovery. I highly recommend, especially if traditional PT isn't giving you the results you need! read more

Thank you for welcoming me with open arms as a true beginner! I was a bit nervous but Rose was AMAZING to me- she set me up for success! Rose did not care was size, color or experience level I was...she made me feel so at home and at ease. Terry and Alexandra are especially kind and patient teachers with me in classes which makes me feel comforted. I have found an exercise regimen for life. Again, any age, skill level, and body type are welcome. I highly recommend ProPilates for an excellent Pilates experience whether new or experienced. read more

I have been attending Pro Pilates weekly (with the exceptions of when I'm out of town) since February. I have always been interested in Reformer pilates after doing home mat pilates videos. I am an avid weight-trainer for hyper trophy (muscle growth) but had been wanting to go in a different direction with my fitness regime. I've been incorporating a more well-rounded approach to my training by including more LISS cardio and Pilates. Pro Pilates is the perfect place for beginners and experienced persons alike to grow their knowledge of Pilates. I've tried many instructors and all have the same patience, understanding and knowledge of the craft. All ages are regularly in class together and everyone achieves a unique goal while exercising. I'm excited to grow with the studio and will continue attending classes! read more

Terry H is amazing, one of the best insightful and knowledgeable instructors I've met in the past 2 decades of my Pilates journey. I have multiple back injuries, and I finally found someone that can integrate healthy, stabilizing spinal exercises, and I am in less pain by the time I leave. I am sooo grateful to have found her! I learn so much in each class, her cueing is Fantastic, and she has an enthusiastic attitude to pick up your spirits and motivate you at 6a, all the time she really cares that each person has the correct form, and I love that she's hands on. read more

For over 15 years I have been a member of the Propilates wellness community. I chose these words carefully to write a meaningful review. If you are looking for a private and high-end, caring experience then Propilates is for you. The same instructors and clientele consistently enjoy high end instruction with a flexible schedule. The owner, Tonka stays at the cutting edge of health and wellness. Tonka has guided me through two back injuries and is a trusted and highly valued wellness advisor. If you are seeking to become fitter, lose weight and become healthier then this is the best choice. You will not just be one of a number! read more

Nice studio. Don't give them a credit card! If you have to freeze for any reason - they conveniently forget . Got injured by following a new instructor. No one seemed to care. Swim - it's free! read more

Apart from being kind, caring, and fun to be with, Tonka and her instructors at ProPilates are all highly educated in the areas of anatomy, physiology, and neuroscience. About three years ago, I had a problem with sciatic nerve pain. I had heard good things about ProPilates and decided to take some classes. I began with two or three class a week and within a couple of weeks, my pain began to subside. Within a couple of months, I had forgotten about sciatica. I was pain free. I love the classes at ProPilates. The instructors are all great, and I learn so much from each one of them! At the end of every week, I schedule my ProPilates classes for the following week. Then I am free to schedule work and other activities. Also, Rose at the front desk is awesome! Her expertise includes guiding people in the right direction and solving problems. I highly recommend ProPilates to anyone interested in improving their overall health and well being! Anne read more

In with the new, out with the old even though the old keeps coming back around. New gym, old workouts...just modified. That said, I like the idea behind this studio buuuuut... The Bad: 1. Limited class offerings & times 2. Pricey packages 3. Lacking in the customer service* 4. Lacking in form correction and help** The Good: 1. Latest equipment 2. Intimate class sizes 3. Good location 4. Healthy smoothies available for purchase 5. Offers FREE Cardio Ballet class to first timers* The explanations: *Customer Service: ProPilates' website has a coupon for a free cardio ballet class, which is for new clients only. Sweet, sign me up! The problem arises after you take the free class and try to redeem a Living Social for 2 Cardio Ballet classes, which according to the fine print, does not make mention of needing to be a first time client. It does however say that the offer cannot be combined with any other offer. This is where the customer service bit kicks in. Rather than opting to let it go due to a miscommunication, they were not very nice about it and took that free class as though it were one of the 2 classes that were purchased. Aside from that whole issue, there's the lack of knowledge. I asked a question and was redirected to someone else who practically just blew me off. PFFT. As potential clients, why would we (my friends and I) want to come to a gym that gives us issues and attitude on the first visit. Protip: first impressions are everything. Get with it. **Form Correction: This brings me to my next point. I've been to a few different gyms so that I continue to mix up my routine. I know it varies per class (cardio ballet), instructor and teaching style. However, one thing I do know is that the instructor should always first ask if there are new clients and/or if there are any injuries that should be known. Strike 2. Being that I'm new to this Cardio Ballet class, I expect instructors to come around and correct some form of posture so that I can get the maximum hit in each move. Strike 2. Btw, if you're considering the Cardio Ballet class, here's what you can expect - more cardio, lots of movement. Think old school work out video meets ballet. No weights, just body. I've been to other gyms that offer this style of working out and some focus more on muscle and toning but this one incorporates a lot of ballet moves that keeps your blood pumping the entire time. The instructor also teaches zumba and so his style of working out was constant movement, no time for rest and ballet moves, which is not a bad thing so prepare to sweat. Overall, I like the place and enjoyed the workout. I'm definitely willing to go back and try other classes as the pilates reformer/chair classes look interesting but honestly, the customer service thing left a bad taste in my mouth. Again, I'm willing to give it another shot so hopefully it can be chalked up to an "off" day/class/instructor/time. Otherwise, they just lost at least 2 clients. I'll keep you posted! read more

cant wait to make pro pilates part of my weekly routine the class is challenging but fun and the instructors pay special attention to make sure form is correct as to not injure yourself read more

Ok, so reading the comments below I decided to still give the studio a shot. And I have to say the comments are clearly outdated, perhaps even inaccurate. I have been attending the studio 4x a week for 8 weeks now and here are my comments: 1) Rose works the front desk. She is an absolute gem. With a warm greeting she will do everything she can to find a program to suit you. 2) The studio is clean and well laid out, meaning class sizes are intimate and you get to know everyone well. 3) The teachers are fantastic and very knowledgeable. I recommend Elena for reformer classes, she is meticulous in ensuring your technique is on point and comes up with very creative workouts. Shout out to Sharon too. Her energy is contagious and truly cares about her clients, their health and progress. I recommend taking her Corecycle or Antigravity fitness class if you REALLY want to sweat. 4) Tonka is the owner and she knows her Pilates! She also learns everyone's name and checks in on your progress and whether you are enjoying yourself. She clearly cares about your experience. Tonka is also a great fitness role model (you only have to glimpse at her instagram account to see her grill the propilates trainers or demonstrate some advanced moves on the Cadillac). 5) I have loved propilates so much I have been taking private classes. You get to experience other pieces of equipment to compliment your regular reformer classes. Whatever your ability, I would 100% recommend propilates. Make 2017 the year to work on your health and well being. read more

The studio is lovely. However, I came into the studio after picking up their "packages" info sheet advertising 8 classes for $99. The deal was good for 30 days after joining. I was offered an appointment for the free assessment. After the assessment I expressed an interest in the $99 special. I was told by two employees that I need to buy four (4) one hour private lessons for $280 When told this is slightly out of my budget, the receptionist informed me I would be a "LIABILITY" if I joined a group class without learning all the machines and positions first, since a newcomer couldn't possibly follow a group class. I was very disappointed to learn the company ran on a Bait & Switch program. but again...the physical studio is lovely. read more

I took a Cardio Ballet class with Shannon recently. I arrived at the studio and filled out new client paperwork. Then I sat there like a bump on a log not knowing what to do next. The entire front room is Pilates machines. Lots of private instruction going on. I knew I was not here for a Pilates class so I truly didn't know where to go. Did I have the wrong day? The instructor came in and walked right past me. She didn't even know I was there for her class. Finally someone asked me why I was there and they showed me to the back room where the Cardio Ballet class takes place (I kept trying to get the attention of woman at front desk but she was on phone.) First there is no "ballet" element to this class. No barre like movements which is fine. Second, everyone else but me wore sneakers. I arrived barefoot bc of the description of the class - most people don't do "ballet" in sneakers. But alas there is no ballet so sneakers made sense. The class needs a new name. The instructor didn't ask my name and didn't ask if I had any injuries. I've taught classes before and these are two major no no's. Bc In fact I do have injuries and limitations due to recent back and shoulder problem. This was not a biggie to me bc I know how to modify. During the class she did not ONCE offer any modifications to her routine. Such as "if you have a back issues, don't bend forward at 45 degrees." The movements with the weights were so fast like swinging arms wildly. This makes no sense because everyone knows slow movements with weights creates better results. The whole class felt like a throw back to Jane Fonda. Her music was fun and it was a fast paced class. No stopping. If I was a regular in Florida, I would probably come back again bc I know how to modify and slow down on weights. But I don't recommend this class to a newbie bc the instruction and attention to form just isn't there. read more

Definitely not worth the time or money. Receptionist really didn't care to have a customer nor was the class a good workout.

I have been a client for three months and I've been in the health club business and played college sports so I'm tough to impress; I feel confident saying Tonka and Propilates can improve not only a person's health but the overall quality of their life. Tonka and her staff are incredibly knowledgeable and really care about their clients-I went in very cynical and after one session was a believer in Pilates and Tonka's holistic approach; to be clear I am a real client and am posting this because I truly believe Tonka could help anyone-she is currently working with a friend of mine who has tried every diet and workout routine there is and the results in two months are better than he has ever achieved-thank you Tonka for being so caring-she, unlike a lot of fitness studio owners, is always increasing her vast knowledge as well as investing in new state of the art equipment. read more

I agree with Robyn below. This was my first and only reformer class with them. They don't focus on alignment and form at all. Too many people in the class to do so. I was never asked about my health issues or my experience with Pilates. The instructor seemed too concerned with cardio on the reformer which hurt my fibromyalgia. They didn't seem to care about gaining a new client. I will go elsewhere. Two stars for the cleanliness and look of the studio. read more

Great instructors, great custormer service and great studio. Will definitely be signing up for one of their packages. They give several complimentary deals which is a great way to get clients like me in the door!! read more

SO happy I found propilates! I am not a fan of the typical gym setting but I am always looking for a good work out to de-stress after work and stay active. I must say, I had never done pilates before and now I crave it! Everyone is extremely nice: staff, instructors, and even other members! They are truly great at what they do and I feel confident in their hands. I have been going for about two months and I already feel a difference in my posture, strength, and overall well being. The only reason I am giving them 4 stars is because it is quite pricey, but then again, what studio isn't? You are getting personalized service and I think it is worth every penny. Plus, they have great new client specials and other offers. I'm definitely a fan! read more

I love this place. Pilates was new for me. Normally I do HITT training, spinning, weightlifting and even cross fit Unloaded but I have to say this Pilates studio was really a welcome surprise for me. The studio is very clean and the staff is just so great. Tonka, the owner, Reason and Rose are just precious! The anti-gravity class was my biggest surprise. Hanging upside down and twisting/turning in the air have a way of disappearing fear from your vocabulary. I would highly suggest everyone try this at least once. I love the Spinlates class and have to say I had no idea the reformers could target your abs this way. Pilates Abs- OH MY! It's great. read more
