It's clean, well stocked but the stations are very crowded because they keep a stationary bike right up against each Reformer. You have to adjust and move the bikes as you do different motions s not to bang into them. I've had some good and less than classes- Marie Ver Haar and Leslie Velasques were great. They explained things well and checked on everyone for proper form, leaving me feeling like a had a whole body workout and feeling good. Another instructor spent a great amount of time on the springboard/jump board thing. Like A LOT of time. My knee was pretty irritated and the rest of my body was just along for the ride. I won't do that class again. O8verall, this is a nice place with good equipment and some good trainers. I think I'll stick with Marie and Leslie V. for best results. I wish there was a changing room for members to change clothes before or after or at least a place other than the floor to put your personal items while exercising.

My HDL cholesterol number have always been lower. It has jumped up from the thirties to 62 in the last year after I started more vigorous yoga like sculpt from Moji and Bikram from Jamie.. I'm still able to bench 315 pounds once a week because yoga works on my small muscles . All heavy weight lifters have sore shoulder joints which yoga has helped me overcome greatly .

Before the session, they take the time to talk with you in such a calm and thoughtful way -- asking about your health, past experience, how you're feeling, and your goals. And it never feels like a formality -- you can tell they truly want to understand you. I really appreciated how they match you with the right class. It never feels like you're just placed wherever there's availability. Instead, they recommend what actually fits you best -- so you feel comfortable, safe, and supported. The sessions themselves are both professional and gentle. The instructors are always attentive -- they carefully watch your form, make small adjustments, guide you, and support you throughout. And they do it in such a kind, respectful way that you feel encouraged, not pressured. One of my favorite things is the small group size. It creates this almost private-session feeling. You're seen, you're heard, and you get real attention -- which is so rare and so valuable. The atmosphere in the studio is incredibly warm and calming. It feels like a place where you can slow down, take a breath, and just be taken care of for a little while. For me, it's become more than just a workout -- it's truly a little time for myself. After each session, I leave not only feeling good physically, but also with this sense of inner calm. And every time I think -- I'm so glad I found this place. If you're looking for a studio with genuine care, professionalism, and a truly thoughtful approach -- I wholeheartedly recommend it

Being a part of this studio for almost 2 yrs now has benefited me both physically and mentally, and I have gained long-lasting friendships with a lot of the people here.

I've lost over 45 lbs, and maintained my goal weight and I'm stronger than I've ever been with muscles I never knew I had! Check out Pilates Forever Studio... it was a life changer for me!

Upon arrival we walked in and it was so empty in the front room. We waited a while and peeked around at the merch but no one came to the desk and the class was starting soon so we wandered into the back. We found the only room with silks hanging and entered, the instructor was incredibly off-putting and cold. She didn't welcome us, or even look at us when we approached her to intro ourselves. She scolded us for not checking in properly even though no one was in the building to tell us. She put my friend and I in far apart spots and when we requested to be near each other she huffed. The class itself is a whole lot of fun. Being new to using silks, the instructor explained the movements well and I felt confident in executing new moves. After she felt out the class she even walked us through a more advanced upside down movement. There was one student who was clearly very advanced in aerial yoga/acrobatics so the instructor had him do the majority of the demonstrations.

I have attended classes at all four locations. I chose to try Joya because it offers Bikram Yoga, Circuit, HIIT, and more! All of the facilities are amazing. Their facilities are always clean and I love that three locations have showers. I enjoy attending 5:45 AM and 6:00 AM classes.

I have attended a few weekend classes which there is a ton of availability at all locations. I personally love how intense the HIIT/Pilates and Jcircuit classes are. I really get a total body workout in those classes. I love that Joya offers HOT Bikram in 60min, 75 min, and 90min sessions. I do one of those classes once a week. Bikram has done wonders for my health since I started doing it in. 2014. If you are looking to change up your routine, or to try something new.

Despite my initial enthusiasm for this establishment, I unfortunately sustained an injury unrelated to club Pilates or this location, which prevented me from continuing my membership. Consequently, my account was frozen due to the injury, and I was not given the option to cancel it directly. However, I was subsequently charged again without a prior curtesy notice. I have all my medical records to substantiate my injuries, but I have yet to receive a courtesy call back from this location. My account was charged four months without my knowledge, and I have sent numerous emails attempting to resolve the issue and collect a refund for services I did not receive. Instead, I have been met with blatant disregard, which is deeply concerning. Out of the 80 classes I was unaware of, I attended three and did not receive any service for the rest of the charges. This situation is a significant loss for me, and the fact that I am being ignored is particularly disappointing. It is evident that this company prioritizes profit over customer satisfaction. I strongly advise against choosing the Pleasanton location for club Pilates. I have friends and family who use other locations and have had no issues obtaining same day responses and refunds, even though their situations were not medically related.
