Mind, Body, & Mean Girls…read more I left this studio feeling as though I had been "mean-girled" out of returning, and that is not how anyone should be made to feel in a fitness environment. I have been practicing Pilates since 2019. I don't pretend to be an expert, but I do know my body and its capabilities and limitations after having played competitive tennis for over 30 years. I've accumulated several injuries over the years, so I sometimes need reasonable adjustments or alternative movements. Instead of approaching those needs with professionalism, curiosity, or compassion, the owner made me feel as though other patrons or instructors had been taking issue with my modifications, and "reporting" them. Why anyone else was so concerned about my workout is beyond me. In a Pilates class, shouldn't participants be focused on their own bodies and their own practice? Pilates is supposed to foster a positive mind-body connection. Imagine trying to concentrate on your breathing and movement after learning that people are scrutinizing you, discussing you behind your back, and complaining about the accommodations you need. The entire environment stopped feeling supportive and became uncomfortable, judgmental, and exclusionary. The studio also enforced seemingly arbitrary "rules" about not performing planks on the reformer, supposedly because of safety concerns. Yet its TRX straps were not adjustable, which created a much more concerning situation: if a student's feet are not properly secured, the movement may place the student at risk of falling or injuring the lower back. I can't help wondering whether that contributed to those classes no longer being offered. The inconsistency between policing an individual modification and overlooking equipment-related concerns was striking. A good instructor knows how to offer safe alternatives without embarrassing or alienating a client. A good studio creates an environment where people with different bodies, abilities, and injury histories can exercise without feeling watched, judged, or pushed out. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. I came to work out and care for my body, not to relive high school social dynamics in a Pilates studio.

Amazing class!! This was my first time doing a bungee fitness class and I thoroughly enjoyed it…read more The instructor was incredibly helpful and patient. She made sure that safety was first priority and took time to explain things to us so we did it correctly. Despite all that, it was still a great cardio workout, and I could tell that there was a great community here. The vibes were awesome!

The instructors Hugo and Luisa are amazing! They are highly trained professionals who truly understand anatomy and the classical Pilates method. They offer corrections and modifications to ensure you are getting the most out of your class. After being away for several years, I finally came back to the studio postpartum to recover after having a baby and undergoing a C-section. It was the best choice I could have made. Thanks to their expertise, I haven't felt better. My deep core strength, posture, and stability are returning and I feel better than ever!

Frozen painfully for 17(!) years, I worked for two years with Luisa or Hugo to regain full strength and mobility -- my surgeon was super impressed! Most patients my age (mid-60s) never regain full shoulder function after being frozen so long. This year Elite Pilates helped me thru hip replacements. My surgeon approved me for Pilates with my private trainer after only three weeks after surgery because they were so confident of their expertise customizing exercises to help my body heal. All that rehab over three months helped me recover faster after my recent second hip replacement. I'm looking forward to regaining my strength and flexibility at Elite Pilates so I can get back to hiking and dancing!

This is one of my favorite fitness places to go to here in San Antonio! This is a hot yoga studio…read morethat is donation based with a minimum buy in of $12 per visit. As a beginner and someone who isn't as familiar with yoga, i felt very welcomed here and have gone back several times! The location is perfect as well with it being down the road from the pearl, so if you finish your workout you can stop by Rise up for an açaí bowl or smoothie, or even get a coffee or matcha from local at the pearl! The instructors are very helpful, so if you're struggling they do a good job at correcting your form and taking it slow. I will say the hot yoga classes can sometimes be fast paced and super hot so I recommend bringing a mat, a towel, a rag and water. Also make sure to arrive 10 minutes earlier if you can so you can have a preferred space to workout and because they lock the doors as soon as your session starts. If you're looking to step outside of your comfort zone this is a great way to do so!

It's not a competition. It's aa transformative journey. I am forever grateful to every single one of you. The restrooms are clean, the yoga equipment and area where we practice yoga is ready for us. Be on time. Be present. Be ready to sweat and let go of all your worries.
