One of the best things to happen to Palo Alto in a long time is Rocksalt opening! I started taking…read moreclasses a week after they opened and I have been hooked every since. The space is lovely and spotless, the teachers are amazing, it's Pilates with a cardio kick, different levels of difficulty (Stretch, Strength, Sweat) but you always get a good workout and a great stretch.

Will continue going there and update my review as needed, but so far it's been 5 stars!

I wrote a review on Google Maps already, but wanted to write another one here!…read more The studio is awesome. Both the workers and the teachers are so kind. They make it really easy to get started! I was initially on a 4 pack, but enjoyed my workout so much I decided to get an unlimited membership. I've taken Slow Flow, Mobility, Restore, and Sculpt & Flow and all of them are amazing for the body. Since I've written about my experience on Google Maps already, I'll write about my new one today when I took a Sculpt & Flow class with Mary recently and she was so nice! She saw me and recognized that I haven't taken a class with her yet, and she spent a lot of time before class to talk to me about what to expect and also encouraged me a lot, since I was really nervous. She even checked in on me after class too! Her attention to her students and knowing them by name makes it feel so much like a community. Also shoutout to the front desk who I approached and asked about Sculpt & Flow before the class too. Before class while waiting for the studio to be cleaned she also spoke with me about what weight to choose, and even went to the back with me and helped me find what I need. I haven't done yoga in years much less in a class format, but the community and everyone makes it so much easier to get into it :)

I…read morerecently moved to Sunnyvale so I decided to start taking classes here at the Downtown Sunnyvale studio instead of my home studio (Palo Alto, great studio!). Everyone here is so nice, the gym and bathrooms are clean, and I have had a great experience overall so far. I will say parking on a Saturday morning is tough because the farmers market is right down the street, but I've never not been able to find a spot within 2 mins walking distance. But that's not a big deal at all

To start with, our family loves the convenience of the gym and the equipment is overall fine…read more However, the staff can be unprofessional / disrespectful. Despite signs everywhere in the gym stating "no phone calls," one staff member was on a call for over an hour today (owner, you are welcome to verify this on camera). She was constantly giggling, and it was loud and distracting. I approached her and mentioned the no phone call policy, to which she responded that it was an important family call (However, she was also browsing and shopping for yoga pants during the call) When I asked her to please consider taking the call outside, she stared at her laptop screen and ignored me and did not apologize during the entire conversation. It was unpleasant and rude. This type of interaction leaves a bad impression and should not be the standard at this gym. I highly suggest the owner train the staff on basic manners!

Unforgiving, join a gym where if you're 5 mins late you can still do something…read more I had been attending classes for a few months and having generally a positive experience. One time for reasons beyond my control at work I arrived a few minutes late, they sent me through to get changed. Once I had changed they told me I was more than 5 mins late and couldn't join the class. If you're going to do this why send me through, I literally changed in less than 2 minutes?!? I essentially decided not to do business with them anymore at this point and just join a gym that offers free classes - roughly the same cost and if I'm late it's not the end of the world and I have no where to go. To add insult to injury on this, they essentially told me their cancellation policy would mean I have to pay for another month of classes I had no intent on using after this experience. They made no exception and charged me for the full month even though I didn't come. Clearly care about their margins rather than any customer experience. Strongly suggest to avoid these money grabbing folks whose rules suit them, not you. Just join a good gym with classes.

I've been to several OTF studios in the South Bay and Peninsula area so this review is a comparison…read moreto other OTF studios now that I've visited Palo Alto a few times during weekdays and weekends, morning and afternoon. The layout for the Palo Alto is a bit odd because the space is long and skinny. So in order to fit in all the rowers and treadmills and weight floor stations, they have a long aisle with the rowers and treadmills in parallel and then a whole separate square for the weight stations in the back, kind of in the shape of a capital L with a fat square for the bottom of the L. This makes for some awkward coaching because the coach's main station is at the angle and the coach can only pay attention and see one side of of the room at a time and kind of a has to move back and forth. Also, as a member, it can be really hard to see the class board with the real time stats when you are on the weight floor or on the very end of the L on a rower or tread. Another thing I'm not a fan of is how echoey the room seems to be. Sometimes it can be hard to understand the coach because the instructions and the music seem to reverberate. Generally speaking, the SAs seem to be friendly and nice, but I've found that the instructors at OTF Palo Alto don't seem to be as energetic or enthusiastic, and they don't coach with as much detail about the exercises as instructors from other studios I've attended. And for whatever reason (maybe because the demos are shorter?), the classes always seem to be shorter than other studio classes, even when they are a repeat of a workout I've already done before. I also don't love that their lockers and cubby spaces for members to store their keys and gear during the workout are extremely small, not big enough to fit a backpack into. I sometimes come from work and have to bring my laptop into the studio rather than leaving it in my car where it may be broken into and stolen, so it's annoying that I can only fit my backpack into a cubby where it is sticking out half way. This wouldn't be such an issue except like I mentioned above, this studio is long and skinny, and this also applies to the waiting area outside the workout space proper. Everything feels a bit cramped. I stop by here when the location is convenient, but it's not my go-to for the reasons I've listed above.

This place is great. Surprised I hadn't found it sooner. I saw it on ClassPass and then saw they…read morehad a $100 Into offer for 2 weeks. With each drop in being $36, this is a steal. The front desk is the sweetest, and the instructors are mostly great. I've had one who needed to be smoother with changes and cues, but all were knowledgable. This will not be traditional Pilates, but with a traditional reformer, which is much better than a megaformer. Heavier weights so you will feel the burn. Slow counts and movements. Lots in hands and knees. I think I miss the footwork the most from a traditional studio, but I'll go to those classes elsewhere. They have childcare, lockers, hair ties if needed. The studio is clean, often using props such as weights or a ball. Will def be going consistently to feel a burn.

Been going to Barry's for the past two years and I absolutely love it here! Depending on what day…read moreyou go, they work on different muscle groups. My favorite is Friday and Sundays which are total body days. Saturdays are typical upper body focus and other days are ass and abs, lower body focus etc. the instructors here are all friendly and energetic. The classes are all 50 mins long and you alternate between the floor and the tread mills. I love that they give a range of speed to walk/run, depending on how you feel that day and how much you want to challenge yourself. Overall, love the classes! They also have a smoothie bar that you can order from prior to class start. When class ends, you can swing by and pick up your smoothie. The classes can get pricey if you do drop in classes, but they do have promotions 2-3 times a year where you can buy class packs with no limit.

I'm on a mission to try out all 6 NorCal Barry's location and Palo Alto brings my count to 4 out of…read more6. Check-in was easy enough, but they didn't ask if it was my first time at this location like they do at other studios. It's pretty straightforward though, so no big deal. I do like how they have a jar of free trial-sized Ouai shampoo just chilling at the front desk. Love free Ouai samples! Locker room is pretty small, especially after I just visited the Castro and Marina studios. It's fairly clean and the class I went to was half-full, so I didn't have to share my tread or floor spot. The wipes are also easily accessible! However, it seems like they have less bands compared to other locations. As I mentioned, the class wasn't even close to being packed, but there was only 1 light band left when I got to the station. Parking is plentiful as it's situated inside Stanford Mall, but you should still allow yourself ample time to get from the garage to the studio.
