It does get busy because there are other businesses there but I've never had trouble finding parking. Before you start your first class, they have you try a starter class to get introduced to the equipment and what Pilates is about so it's not too daunting on your first day. I've had the pleasure of taking Nicole's classes and she's an amazing instructor. I appreciate how she takes the time to learn everyone's name. She always offers modifications during exercises and gives good feedback.

Good Pilates instructors, But Watch Your Wallet! The…read moreteachers are great, but the billing practices are wrong. Auto-Renewal: Every monthly class(4 or 8 classes) forces you into an auto-renewal subscription buried in checkout, with no clear one-time option. No Renewal Notice: They send emails for feedback but none before charging your card again. Difficult Cancellation: You can't cancel online. My email request was ignored, and I ultimately had to cancel in person. Wonderful instructors, but the studio ruins the experience with deceptive billing. If you buy a pass, assume it will auto-renew until you cancel through multiple channels. Rating: 5/5 for instructors, 0/5 for financial transparency and billing service.

I can't think of one person who would not benefit from Mystie's knowledgeable and energetic…read moreteaching style. I live in SF and make it a point to visit AquaPie 1-2 times a week for a combination of private and group Pilates as well as CoreAlign classes. The progress she's helped me make motivated my parents to come see Mystie. They are past retirement age and suffer from chronic back pain. Mystie works with a spectrum of clients with various issues and knows how to approach everyone gently & effectively. She's also bilingual, which is great for my Korean speaking parents. Many of her clients (myself included) have sought out Mystie and her integrated approach to address chronic pain issues. I walk away from each class more educated about physiology and how a healthy body should feel. Mystie has found a way to make classes both challenging AND enjoyable! The classes are small so you get individual attention and Mystie offers custom modifications that suits your level. Whether you're looking for a new way to be more mindful of your body, a pain sufferer trying to gain strength + reduce pain or a workout warrior looking to shake up your fitness routine, you're in great hands at AquaPie.

UPDATE: So I've now been at PB MV over 6 mo. With holidays last year and that terrible cold/flu…read morethat went around earlier this year, I did 100 sessions in about 6 mo + 1 week. (No "100" socks pictured; they're waiting to get in my size!) I'm happy and grateful to have this studio to stick with. I really like the instructors, staff, and owners. I'm stronger than I've been in years. Though I had laparoscopic surgery last year, I was finally able to do a real full sit-up (using just my core, not my arms, legs, or momentum) just this month. I still can't do full push ups, but I'm doing very solid half push ups -- hips flat/down, arms and elbows in. My lower back is stronger but still on the weaker side -- this is a problem area for several women in my family. My feet are much improved -- I have a variant of plantar fasciitis and wear inserts outside the studio. It wasn't clear whether PB would be good or bad for my feet, but it turns out it's been really good! (If not, I would have modified the exercises, or switched to something else.) There's a few other things I'm tracking/working on, but all in all, PB has been very, very good for me. Honestly, I'm not a hugely exercise-y person, and I envy people who actually look forward to working out! That said, I really like the staff and the other women and handful of men who come to work out. I'm sticking with PB MV bc it's a crucial part of my health regimen, and this studio makes working out consistently as doable for me as possible. Just a note their class schedules change from month to month. Meaning if one month works perfectly for you, enjoy it but maybe don't get used to it. But if it's terrible, the next month will probably be a lot better. Come check them out!

I went to UFC Sunnyvale for about a year on recommendation of a friend, and it was a great…read moreexperience When I got the membership, I also caught a three-month trainer holiday promotion deal, since I knew I would have trouble getting myself to go consistently, and while I've been to the gym a bit before, I still wasn't the most familiar with how to make a routine, work towards any goals, or even use a lot of the non-machine equipment I was paired up with Coach Brian Kaho, and he was a great coach. My goal was mainly weight loss to help with some serious health issues I developed, but I also wanted to just have base strength, stamina, and endurance I didn't have before, whether for if I'm invited to do something athletic with friends, or just for day-to-day life Brian was great with working at me where I was at, while still helping me work towards my goals. He knew how to adapt the exercises and how to go about teaching me the core basics to be able to actually build up the skills I needed to do the exercises while also starting to build up the muscle to be able to actually do them Brian was incredibly motivating and encouraging as well, always hyping me up and pushing me to do more while still respecting fully when I did need to take breaks or modify an exercise. He also fully respected boundaries I had set, such as me not wanting to discuss dietary stuff and notwanting to take pre-workout due to my own health issues. He also always worked with me on helping us figure out my specific goals and checked-in wirh me on them I lost a significant amount of weight over the span of that year, which greatly improved multiple weight-related health issues of mine. That amount of improvement isn't something you can just buy outright I also gained some more muscle, which definitely has helped with day-to-day living, and I can't complain about how my fisque has changed from that too. But really, beyond health improvements, the biggest thing working with him helped with was building confidence, faniliarity, and comfortability with being at the gym. In the past, I've gone to the gym and learned a lot of different exercises, but I often would be overwhelmed and often not know how to structure a full workout for myself. Now, I can walk into any gym and make a workout routine for whatever muscle group I want to target, adapt it for the machines and free weights available, remember or figure out the exact body postion to do the exercises properly, figure out sets and reps, and determine weights would push me without hurting me, or modify if weights end up being too much The UFC gym in sunnyvale overall is generally a great vibe as well. I did some of the kickboxing classes, which were fun, but there were a lot of other classes I didn't have the time to try that definitely caught my eye. The equipment is always in good shape there as well, and staff has always been helpful with dealing with any issues like trainer session payment processing and such
