TLDR; I do not recommend Club Pilates to anyone athletic with Pilates experience. The level 2…read moreassessment criteria are not taught in level 1 nor 1.5 classes at this studio. It is absolutely not worth the price. On a personal note: I felt like this was an experience of age discrimination as I was often the youngest person in class and for some reason someone noted "young, able body tho" on my assessment form after they decided to not recommend me for Level 2. (Most of the assessment form wasn't even completed) Full review: I've been an athlete since childhood, have done barre and other Pilates studios for years. I recently moved to Tacoma and decided to try Club Pilates. I am canceling my membership after giving it an honest effort for three months. I have paid nearly $300 per month for the minimum 3 month membership commitment to have unlimited classes (taking between 3-5 classes/week) for mediocre Pilates workouts. My whole goal for this 3 months was to test up to the level 2 classes in hopes of them being challenging and allow me to actually drop a bead of sweat or feel some sort of challenging exercise. Upon signing up for a three month membership, I asked when I could test for the level 2 classes and was told I wouldn't pass since the instructors "didn't know me." This was my first clue into the cult of Club Pilates; why is this form assessment also based on who you "know"? I believe that testing for form is acceptable to deem admission to higher level classes, but NOT when the form is not explicitly taught in class. The level 2 assessment was quite frankly a joke considering the way level 1 and 1.5 classes are taught. I attended class regularly during my 3-month membership trial with hopes of being approved to start attending level 2 classes. To my dismay, the level 2 assessment was full of questions relating to anatomical jargon that is never explicitly discussed in any of the class formats I've taken (Reformer Flow, Control, Cardio Sculpt). I am always open to form-correction, but hardly received any in all the classes I took. I would not recommend Club Pilates to anyone unless they are looking for very leisurely body movement, whether due to older age or mobility issues. Having lived in San Diego, Durham, and Seattle, I have found MUCH better Pilates studios than this one. So far in Tacoma I have found La Maison Pilates which is 10x better in terms of difficulty and they still emphasize form with smaller class sizes. It's a bit more expensive but actually worth the money.

I've been going here for a few months and love it! Not only are the instructors great, but the…read morepeople are super friendly as well. You'll start to see the same people in your classes if you go at the same times/days, but I like to try to mix it up and go to a bunch of different ones if possible! One of the instructors, Nora, recently started a book club which has been a lot of fun and they do cool events and sometimes partner with local businesses as well. I think *all* of the instructors do occasional theme nights too like Beyoncé music, Monday night football, 80s week, etc which makes it fun because you know what kind of vibe you'll be coming in for! There's different types of classes, different levels, and the instructors have different vibes. Whatever work schedule you have you can usually get into a class per day! I liked how their intro class walks you through a lot of the different things you will be doing. It took us a handful (or more lol) of classes to finally get the Pilates lingo down so don't feel discouraged if you're having to look around your first couple of times to see what others are doing. The instructors will help too if they see you looking confused! (A few photos of the studio with trying to not get anyone else in them)

The studio is well maintained and is consistently clean. The front desk ladies and the teachers are all very nice. Each teacher has their own "take" on Pilates, even though the core exercises, language, and cues are the same. If you're new to this studio, I would say try as many classes as you can with a variety of teachers and see how each of them operate. Pricing is similar to most Pilates studios. I went with the Unlimited membership so that I can take as many classes as I wanted, and I can book out 15 classes in advance. It seemed that if I tried to book a class the day of or the day before, especially for a specific time, the availability was more limited. As a beginner, you start taking just the 1.0 classes. As you begin to gain more confidence, you can move up to 1.5 classes. I've enjoyed them all, truly. I've taken 38 classes so far and I feel like my strength and coordination have improved, especially in my core. Additionally, I've taken what I've learned in Pilates outside of the studio. I find myself trying to "knit my ribs together" while strength training at the gym :) All in all, my experience here at Club Pilates has been 10/10. I'm leaving the Gig Harbor area soon, and will be looking to start a membership at my new location. I'm addicted!
