Reforming Pilates changed my life. I started taking classes here just over a year ago and was a little scared of the reformer. Let me tell you, I had chronic pain in so many places that reforming Pilates fixed! The instructors: all of them are amazing they each have their own specialties and teaching styles all within the same method. I can't even pick a fave I have some for certain styles of classes and workouts but you will never have a bad workout here. Aesthetically the studio is beautiful too * love an aesthetic spot read more

Reforming Pilates - Pilates Near Me - Bay Harbor Islands, Florida

Besides this place being beautiful, the workout itself is really good and the instructors are patient and teach you if needing anything fixed. I use my class pass to go to the one in Boca and the one in Fort Lauderdale. read more

I was on vacation so I took a drop in 1 time class. first impression is everything and they completely turned me off. the hand weights SMELLED SO BAD, I couldnt even do the movement correctly because anytime it came up to my face I wanted to throw up. they handed wipes at the end but I'm sure no one thinks to clean the weights too. they need to be professionally power washed at this point read more

I had a very disappointing experience at the Bal Harbour location, all because of one instructor: Alexa Kats. This has nothing to do with her Pilates training -- it's about how she treats people. She was shockingly rude, cold, and completely unprofessional. Her attitude made the entire experience uncomfortable and unpleasant. I've never encountered someone so lacking in basic kindness and respect in a fitness setting. I won't be returning if she's involved. I hope the studio takes this seriously -- clients deserve better. read more

Several experienced and young instructors that challenge you ALWAYS. Love this place.

I absolutely love taking Pilates with Nelly. She is incredibly knowledgeable in anatomy and explains every movement clearly -- not just how to do it, but why we do it and what we should be feeling in our bodies. As someone currently studying to become a certified Pilates instructor myself, I deeply appreciate the precision of her cues and her thoughtful, personalized feedback. Her classes have helped me grow so much, both as a student and as a future instructor. Honestly, if Nelly were no longer teaching at the studio, I would not continue attending. I've also observed the class after hers, where the instructor sits down during the session with a matcha in one hand and a phone in the other. A friend of mine who attends that class mentioned that the teacher doesn't even ask about any physical issues or injuries. For me, it's essential to train with someone who understands the body and prioritizes safety -- and Nelly absolutely does. If you are looking for a truly professional, skilled, and attentive Pilates teacher, I highly recommend Nelly. read more

Beautiful pilates studio in Bay Harbor. Ive taken classes with a few different instructors and have enjoyed them all! I always feel energized afterwards, not too tired or sore to continue my day - which I find can happen with really strenuous reformer classes. Its easy to stay consistent and book on Classpass. I love when the instructors incorporate a lot of back and shoulder exercises, its great for improving posture. The one inconsistency Ive noticed is some of the instructors teach with music, and some teach with no music on at all. I find it hard to get amped up at 9 am to do pilates when theres no background music at all during the class, just the teachers voice and the sound of reformers. So just one small criticism from me! read more

I'm really disappointed with the lack of customer service at this studio (Miami Beach location). I purchased a 5-class package and tried to book my first class in late October, only to find out it had just expired. I called multiple times with no answer and emailed on October 30, less than two weeks after the expiration date, but received no response for weeks. The studio only acknowledged my message after I showed up in person, and then claimed I was "about two months" past the redemption period, which was simply not true. I respect policies, but I also expect a business to answer its phone, respond to emails, and show basic flexibility when the delay was caused by their own lack of communication. None of that happened here, and based on my experience, it doesn't seem this studio is interested in attracting or retaining new clients. I won't be returning. read more

I love Pilates and I didn't want to break my streak while I was visiting Miami and I signed up for the new client class pack. At first, i was a little hesitant to see how it would be and how the environment was there. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised. It's a great little studio in Bal harbor. The classes are 55 min long and the teacher, Nelly, has been wonderful. Grateful I found a studio nearby where I can continue my Pilates streak and that the classes they have are for all different levels. I already signed up for the larger package. You will not be disappointed read more

I just love the energy of this Studio tucked away on a second floor on Abbott Avenue on Miami beach Easy to get to on the 79 Street Causeway and then you just take a left couple blocks and you're there before the beach. Super close to a huge parking lot that is free after 6:30 so that's a plus but there's always space and then after class just walk on the beach take a dip in the water so perfect location The best thing about this studio is their teachers Justin Amelia Nelly they all are excellent well trained professionals who are also personable Nelly is hard-core rough doesn't take excuses but I like that style and you leave there really feeling longer and leaner Amelia is awesome she's young fresh and really a joy to work with as she whips you and reforms you into a greater shape Justin well he's the maestro. It's a laid-back Miami beach vibe and you just feel really like this is a serious well grounded studio which cares about their clients and are there to make you feel good read more

Reforming Pilates - Small intimate space - Pilates Near Me - Bay Harbor Islands, Florida

See all

Emily Kanter's class is an INCREDIBLE work out and she is an amazing instructor! You leave there feeling like your body really got a hell of a workout! Thanks Emily! read more

Take a class with Ian St. Cloud if you have the chance! He is a great coach and I felt so in tune with my body through his queues. The other instructors are good too. Beautiful studio. read more

Great private training and reasonable rates! The studio has room for groups up to 3 at a time on reformer, or one-on-one. I like the one-on-one sessions, because I am shy when working out. Justin is the owner & is always very professional. I saw results after just 2 sessions. The workouts are challenging, but not deadly. Justin takes time to make sure your form is perfect & you get the most out of each exercise. I never feel railroaded into buying products & the other annoying things trainers do. This is the best kept secret on the beach. read more

Great studio, great staff, great classes! Renovated beautifully. You won't regret booking a class here. I feel 100 times stronger after going to a reforming Pilates class! read more

The sad part about this place is that driving by, it's fairly easy to miss. The entrance is squeezed between a dollar store and a dry cleaner. The cool part about this place is that it's fairly easy to miss so you feel like a secret agent walking up to an obscure hidden entrance. You think you'll need an updated password to get in but no, you're greeted by a welcoming, non-elitest studio. The fact that this place is small, is a bonus in my book since it creates an intimate, homey vibe. Classes are capped at seven people and Justin is GREAT (yes, I did just caps lock that word!) at what he does. I feel like there's a great misunderstanding about the intensity of pilates. I dont think people understand how much of a workout you get. All I'll say is that on several occasions I thought I was going to die. Take my woman card away because I hate aerobics classes, step, zumba, all that crap. For those of you who have never tried pilates before and think you won't work up a sweat because it's not "cardio", let me just say that you'd sweat less while cooking meth in your underwear inside a trailer parked in the middle of the New Mexico desert at noon. Justin has a way of explaining a move in a way that tricks you into thinking it's going to be easy, until you do it and realize you're working several muscles at once. I find that it eases the pain if I curse a lot in my head. The super awesome music helps as well. He's not even all drill sergeant-y about it either, it's a really laid back atmosphere. It's all about how far you're willing to push yourself since you can adjust the resistence to what suits you. If you're up for the challenge, and you should be since it's what you pay for, he will leave your limbs feeling like Jello. I recently read a book that talks about pushing yourself farther than you think your body is capable of. That you should leave the gym crawling to your car. This workout does that for me. The fact that you have to walk down a flight of stairs will have you thanking the heavens that there's a handlebar to hold on to. I know I sound like a masochist right about now but I know that once you try it, you'll love it as much as I do. In fact, I've seen people of all ages and fitness levels partake, so give it a go. read more

Not for beginners nor the faint of heart. If you want to get a DAMN good workout and aren't afraid to sweat your ass off for an hour, come see Justin and he will get your butt in to shape. Literally! I had taken Pilates classes on the Reformer machine many times before but no one has ever quite worked me so thoroughly, and the soreness you feel the next day is that 'damn it feels good to have worked out' kind not the 'ouch, I can't move' kind. The studio and classes are relatively small, so you do get a touch of personal attention and Justin is not shy about correcting mistakes that you may be making. He is there to make sure you get the most out of your hour, for real. While I find myself wishing that this studio was closer to my home, I have to say that it is well worth the drive. read more

I was looking to try something different in the world of fitness. I thought to try Pilates because everyone of my friends that go to Pilates regularly have gotten great results. I bought a groupon for this place and found the number on the website. It said it was better to text so I did. I wasn't asked if I had done Pilates before and he asked me which days I wanted to go, we got that sorted out and I was excited to finally try this out. I got there 15 mins early like the email said. No one was there yet, so I grabbed a machine to sit on. Once everyone was there the instructor emerges doesn't really say anything other than for me to fill out a form. Not sure if this guy is going through something or just not the type to talk to anyone. In any event, he starts off right away and at first I'm getting it and it doesn't seem hard to do. But soon enough he mentions some type of position that I wasn't quite getting and then he almost seems frustrated that I wasn't able to do it correctly. I really wish he would have told me something about an introductory class so that I could have felt better about the positions that are asked of you to do. I decided to leave in the middle of the class seeing as I felt it was going to be a waste of time. He came out and asked if everything was ok, I could tell he could have cared less....so why ask lol I wouldn't go back not because I think he doesn't know what he's doing because I'm sure with time you get some pretty good results, but because he isn't very professional when it comes to perhaps asking the right questions when someone comes to class or maybe introducing himself. Not what I hand in mind. I'm going to try some other places. Overall if you know what you're doing this class is ideal. read more

I got a Groupon package of 5 classes while on holidays in Miami Beach and I was surprised with the quality of classes. Best deal ever! I will definitely keep doing Pilates here in my next trip to Miami. I travel a lot for work and I've been doing Pilates in different studios all over the world and I really like the type of classes in this studio. It's hard workout, no joke! I like the small studio atmosphere with only a few students per classes. Justin is a great instructor! read more

They just moved to an awesome location on Kane Concource, Bal Harbor Islands - better than ever! Awesome spot - great work out

I love this place, the equipment is always clean. Coach Nelly is amazing. She takes the time to correct her students. She is very energetic. This is my favorite pilates place read more

An exceptional class! As a Pilates lover I have seen many studios and instructors, reforming Pilates is a top notch studio with a wealth of knowledge behind the owners and instructors. If you want a guided workout where you can challenge yourself... or a workout to stretch and become more balanced, COME HERE! The laid back atmosphere is very inviting and truly makes you feel like family. read more

This place is awesome! The machines look new, the studio is super clean. The atmosphere there is great and the instructor is amazing!

Once you come to Reforming Pilates, you'll never want to go anywhere else! I am slightly obsessed. I love both Justin & Nelly's classes so much, and love them as people just as much! They push you to do the best you can to your own ability, always challenging you to work harder. Working out on the reformer is amazing, because it helps you to keep your alignment, and if you are doing something wrong, since it is a small class size, the instructor is there to tell you how to correct your form so you get the most out of your workout without injuring yourself. Since I've been coming to their classes for almost 2 years now, I am stronger and more flexible than I've ever been. I highly recommend you come check this studio out, you'll never be the same in the best way possible! read more

I found this little gem through Groupon but plan to continue . The instructors are all top notch . Justin the owner will kick you butt... in a good way! You will feel it the next day.. No pain no gain ! I plan to buy a package as soon as I figure out how to fit this with my Pole schedule. It's the perfect fitness duo..Pole and Pilates! Just a bonus..free parking across the street. read more

I already discover Pilates on Mexico during a trip, today was my first experience with reforming Pilates and I loved it! We took the level 1 with Nelly She is amazing, really helpful and focus on each of us to get them last of that cession! I highly recommend this place for a Pilates experience of quality. Thanks reforming Pilates !!!! See you very soon!! read more

I have been doing Pilates for years now, but this was my first time using the reformer. The slight added resistance brought my work out to another level. I think I worked every muscle in my body, but I'm not too sore since we never do too many reps of anything. My body even feels more aligned, because it's such a balanced work-out. Usually I shy away from fitness classes, but this hidden gem is welcoming and unpretentious. Justin (the instructor) has a positive attitude, so I felt encouraged without feeling self-conscious! I recommend signing up! read more

Amazing studio! The instructors are great and help you correct your form and give you a really hard workout! I'm happy I found this little hidden gem! I also love the fact that the classes are small so that you get a more private experience. Love the groupon special as well! read more

I like this place, I went with a groupon, and I recommend this one to every single person I know... It's really good... You work out hard, you can feel that... I love this place, they are looking to everyone, and correcting all the wrong things we made... Super personal.... read more

Great little studio in Miami Beach. Justin and Nelly are great instructors they will care if you are going pilates right or wrong. Great atmosphere. read more

Finally a studio that fits my needs perfectly! I have been practicing Pilates (both Mat and Reformer) for 6 or so years and the current studio I was at stopped meeting my needs as an athlete. The classes were too "easy" and "slow." Justin and Nelly's classes are exactly the opposite. They are challenging, provide professional instruction, and they are very detailed instructors. Justin has eyes behind the back of his head. He can just sense when someone is now doing proper form. You WILL get results, you WILL feel like you got a serious workout! I'm happy to finally have found a studio that fits my needs and challenges me on my "I feel tough" days! Justin also picks the right tunes for each workout! read more

I originally got a groupon just to try something new. I had never done Pilates. I have now been going 3x/week and I am so glad to be learning from the best! Great instructors and convenient class times:) read more

I had never done pilates before when my sister dragged me in for a class, Justin turned me into an addict. The class size is small so Justin was constantly correcting me when I had poor form, and I felt like the routine was customized to my needs. It is very difficult for me to feel sore these days, especially in my abs. But I felt it hard. I swear after two weeks of attending classes, I saw a significant improvement in my abs. Justin seems very experienced and his personality makes it easy for me to train hard and be relaxed/comfortable at the same time read more

This is only my second time doing Pilates ever, and I absolutely love it. Justin was my instructor and he made sure I was constantly doing the positions correctly, he is very knowledgeable, friendly and a great leader for any level! I was a little hesitant going in because I had never done it before, but he made me feel welcome amongst the others who have been practicing Pilates for quite some time. read more

Justin is amazing!! This is a real leg-shaking, sweat-rolling, muscle burning workout! Hands down the BEST pilates class I have taken in a while! read more

I got a Groupon for Reforming Pilates a few months ago , fell in love, and now have unlimited monthly access. Reforming has experienced and passionate instructors. Nelly really puts in a lot of effort to make sure all her classes are different and unique. I go 4 times a week and have never taken the same class twice. It is a challenging but rewarding class and you feel great after. Reforming pilates has not only made me more tone but has increased my strength and flexibility. You feel relaxed after class and excited for your next session. They had different levels and always encourage you to challenge yourself. I highly recommend reforming pilates to new or experienced pilate users! read more

Best way to exercise!! Had never tired it before, my 1st time was with Nelly level 1 and she is great!!

I bought the groupon and am now hooked. The instructors are fantastic and give you a hell of a workout! Justin was great, helped me get started and was more than accommodating with scheduling. WHAT A LITTLE GEM this place is...!! Thx Justin and Reforming pilates!!!! read more

It all started 2 1/2 years ago with a groupon, the rest is history. I had always been an aerobics dance fanatic and never thought I would like pilates. After years of my L A girlfriend pleading with me, I decided to give it a try. I started to see my body tone change just after a few classes! Not only did I see my body start to change but felt a sense of empowerment that I've never felt before! My posture and core is stronger than ever! Skiing this season was a breeze!!!! Justin happens to be a great instructor and motivates each person to try their hardest. H e constantly checks for correct posture and form and individualizes routines to adjust to your particular level. No shouting, drilling or counting which I love so you can just get into your zone and breathe. What more can I say? I love it and am truly addicted! read more

Excellent studio, Nelly really knows how to give you a workout. This is the first time in my life I have been so dedicated to exercise (I look forward to going!). Nelly ensures you have good form and are doing the instructed sets correctly. This studio gives you results. You work hard and have fun! read more
