I attend the hot Pilates. You do have to bring your own mat. Bring a small towel because you will definitely sweat, grip socks and a bottle of water.. the studio is very clean. They have cubbies to put all your personal belongings while you're in the class.. the bathrooms are stocked with basic necessities like deodorant, some hair ties, etc. plus they do offer like mints lol it's just a cute added touch to their brand. If you do forget your mat, they do have one that you can borrow, but they are limited. Raquel is an amazing instructor. She is consistently cheering you on. Her classes is tough but you want it to be tough otherwise what's the point of going and not getting a workout? Honestly, I'm not sure if there's really an easy Pilates class lol. I am currently taking this class with my ClassPass so it leaves me open to be able to explore workout programs that work best for me. I am appreciative that the studio is on ClassPass. Otherwise I probably would have never attempted to try their classes. I highly recommend checking them out. The hot Pilates is my favorite.

I took a hot mat class at Hili College Park this morning for the first time in a few months and was…read morepleasantly surprised at the new renovations. Previously, the hot mat room was much smaller, so I was happy to see more spots available in the hot mat class. Immediately upon arrival, I was greeted at the door to check-in. There are cubbies outside of the hot mat room to put your bag and shoes, and the room has all of the equipment needed for the class. Nina was my instructor and she killed it! I definitely felt the burn this morning with how many pulses she made us do! I didn't get a good look at the new reformer room, but I'm hoping to take a reformer class there in the near future!

I am a big fan of the Pilates Loft. I had been looking for a place to do pilates in Orlando and…read morenoticed that there were not many. I was really happy that I found the Pilates Loft. It is a very nice and clean studio and the classes are small, usually around 5 or 6 people and no more than 8. The utilize both the tower and the mat. With the classes being small, the instructors can watch and make sure that you are doing all of the moves correctly. Although you are paying more than you would at a gym, it is completely worth it as the quality of instruction is that much better. You get a better deal if you buy the classes in packages. They have classes ranging from beginner to advanced at all times of the day. They also offer private, duet, and trio classes in which you can utilize the reformers. You can conveniently sign-up and pay for classes online. Pilates is a great way to increase core strength and flexibility. It is also a great way to switch up your routine from weights and cardio. I would definitely recommend the Pilates Loft to anyone who wants to give pilates a try :)

Patricia taught my class and let me tell you, these small incremental moves really do pack a punch. Days later my legs were still jello. She was so kind and was great a cueing. I love when an instructor isnt judgemental but is helpful and inspirational and she was all of those things. The women in class were nice. It seems like many of them have been going there snd are familiar with one another. After class a few women made it a point to talk to me and made me feel welcome. It gives off a very community driven location which is something we should all be looking for in a fitness studio.

In May 2024, I attended an Open House beginners class (they have one of these every month), which…read moreis led by the owner Karen. They had an intro offer (at that time was 2 weeks unlimited for $49) with an additional $10 off if purchased that day, which is activated on the first day of use (whatever date you choose). Plus raffles! As of May 2025, their current promo is 1 month unlimited for $78. Officially became a member on July 2024. The Bar Method is the first and (so far) only place that has motivated me enough to stay consistent with a workout routine. Before choosing The Bar Method, my workout buddy and I had tried other Barre/Pilates places. What made me choose The Bar Method over the others to start: -the amazing promos and affordable pricing; have to be mindful with budgeting in this economy y'all (send me a message if you want a comparison chart LOL fr) -honest; transparency with pricing and information, unlike some others -flexibility; there is NO membership sign up fee, there is NO membership cancellation fee, there is NO minimum commitment, they allow membership freezing for up to 3 months (just let them know the month before) WITHOUT a freeze fee for 2 times a year, there is no penalty for class cancellation 2 HOURS before class starts (there IS a fee if you cancel after this window and/or if you no-show, but you can call before class to explain if there is an emergency and they are understanding in these cases), and you can come to class 10 minutes late max (DO NOT make a habit of this tho!! I only mention this because other places lock their doors as soon as class starts) -variety of class start times; 6am-5:45/7pm M-Th, 6am-12:15pm Fri, 8:15-10:30am Sat, 9:30-11:30am Sun as of May 2025 What made me stay: -"low impact, high reward"; this is in their website and it is true, you feel the burn/shakes/soreness without doing exaggerated movements and you WILL get a WHOLE BODY work out while they guide/direct you on proper form as well as emphasize strategies to ensure your joints/back are protected at all times -improved overall strength, balance, posture, and mental health; the Bar Method has truly become my happy place, plus my knees no longer crackle-pop while climbing up the stairs! -variety of classes; bar method, cardio, strength, bar flow (like yoga), then some include restore (stretching) and some combos (30/30) -ALL of the instructors, which includes the owner; they know your name by your first class and onwards, are genuinely nice, will challenge you in the best way possible, and celebrate YOU (such as class milestones/your birthday) -the community; you truly feel like a part of the Bar Method Family Fun bonuses: -happy hours -special member classes every so often; sometimes themed -monthly challenges and raffles; I love me sum free socks and goodies heehee TL;DR, I love the Bar Method and you will too. Give it a try!

5 Stars for a FANTASTIC Pilates studio where everyone is incredibly welcoming and all bodies are…read morewelcomed. My good friend Addie recommended I try this studio after hearing I was interested in taking my yearlong at-home matt Pilates practice to an IRL studio with reformers. She let me know what she loved most about it was how inclusive it was of all body types- not just your stereotypical Pilates/yoga body. I mentioned my concern that the classes appeared to always be on a waitlist on the website (they have 12 reformers, so the classes are small), but she let me know people cancel very regularly and you almost always get in. Besides that, if you book a week or two out, you will have no trouble immediately getting placed into the class. The weekend after Thanksgiving, I signed up for one of their intro sessions. These sessions are just 30 mins and only a few folks who are interested in taking classes, but want to check it out first. After our 30 mins with Lisette, we were all down to get memberships. One thing that really impressed me was how friendly and receptive everyone has been since then. I've already been to a few classes (I go hard when I join something! Lol) and the teachers have been wonderful and affirming, while walking around and adjusting us (not physically, but with verbal cues). I planned on doing back to back classes (a reformer flow and then Center & Balance class), but wanted to make sure that made sense and as soon as I called, my questions were answered with friendliness and like I was talking to someone I'd known for a while. Finally, I'm stoked about how clean everything is kept. Everyone cleans all of the equipment they used right after class and it is THOROUGH! There's something about the group pressure that helps keep everyone accountable to doing a great job of cleaning up after themselves. Overall, a great studio! I got the app and have been able to sign up for classes for the same week and have gotten off the waitlist each time. Yay for timely cancelations! (There's a few invited if you no-show without formally canceling, which I imagine helps this process along!)

From the size of the classes and amazing instructors I truly found a workout routine that not only motivates me but is starting to make me feel confident in my body! Every instructor I met truly brings a new perspective but truly pushes me in a way I could never do on my own in the gym. I love that the classes are never too big so even though it's a group workout you still get personal attention when you need assistance and guidance. The music varies in a good way. The only thing I wish is that my location had more options in class variety outside of level 1 and 2. The owner is also very nice and helpful whenever I have questions the instructors can't resolve right away. It may be a little pricy but I am grateful to find something that helps me kickstart my fitness journey in a way that motivates me in all the best kind ways.

I had never heard of Lagree Pilates before but I wanted to give it a shot and I really enjoyed it. The workout was tough but felt sooo good, and there are options for levels of modifications. I especially loved the incorporation of mindfulness and the guided meditation (optional) at the end of class.

The workouts are fire! You don't realize how hard you're working when you are literally moving in inch increments. The instructors are incredibly helpful with your form, so you constantly get the best workout, leading to the best results. Night and day difference. I absolutely love this studio; I love these girls and love this community! If you are looking for something new, looking to be challenged, a new community of uplifting, powerful individuals, then look no further. You already found it. I am not going to lie; these classes are not easy, but you can do it, and no one wants an "easy" workout. People of all ages and all sizes take these classes. We may be at different levels of our workouts, but everyone is 100% capable of doing PB. The magic is in the small, tiny, INCH (literally an inch, think of a ruler, an INCH) movements. The way you build muscle and core strength overtime is insane! I can't explain it; you just have to do it. Each class is different than the day before keeping classes exciting and not burned out. Each class is about 50 mins long and I promise, you will be 'inching' for more, later. If you read this entire review, just take a class. I know you're hooked :)

Like hearing the instructor over the music, understanding how to transition into certain moves, and of course not know that Black Barre Challenge can only be completed if you completed it every month of the whole year. To start with they have something called a "Foundations" class. The goal is teach you the basics done throughout a "Classic" Barre class. Im assuming also that you should have an idea of their infamous position "the tuck" somewhat down by the time you leave. There is a tour and you should leave with a basic understanding of Pure Barre is about. At this class they should probably go over in depth the "Black Barre Challenge". I didn't know about this until I was two months into the studio. I left the class thinking that was simple but I knew they advertised as a gym that is "high intensity, with low impact". Low impact was essential since I am still healing from a spinal injury. Here lies the issue there are tons of bending and twisting motions that have to completed during classes. Which consist of: Classic: Basic Total Body Workout Empower: All about the Cardio Reform: All the Resistance Feels I was getting discouraged because I wasn't feeling a lot of the moves at the bar because I couldn't bend far. Therefore I was happy after talking to my Orthopedic surgeon about the difficulties I was facing. He explained its because I haven't been rehabilitated fully yet. After physical therapy I will be ready to go and could start rebuilding my core with Barre! Happy to hear the news because I specifically went on a monthly membership which I was told I "COULD CANCEL AT ANYTIME". BTW when you sign the documentation it's all on their computer so DO NOT take the representatives word on explaining how the membership works. It's a 31 day process. You will be out of a months dues. To give you an idea if their membership is 169.00. When I first called to email their emails came back with delivery issues and now than there is just a game of phone tag back and forth. Today the pulled for the FULL amount of dues after playing phone tag back and forth the past three weeks. In all honesty I'm just so disappointed with this studio. I would've returned after six weeks of PT had they just cared about their customers enough to call or email us back.
