    I've been coming to The Mat about five days a week for the last 2 years. One of the things I appreciate most is the variety of classes they offer. Whether you're looking for weighted or non-weighted workouts, heated or non-heated classes, there's something for everyone and every fitness level. The instructors are all incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive. They consistently encourage everyone to work at their own pace, making the studio feel comfortable whether you're brand new or have been practicing for years. There's never any pressure to keep up with anyone else, just a positive environment that helps you improve over time. If you're looking for a studio with great instructors, diverse class options, and an encouraging community, I highly recommend checking out The Mat.

    Did the trial run for the two weeks for $55. Decided to book me a couple of hot Pilates classes and I haven't done exercising in years and it was a great way to kind of get back into it. Having the hot Pilates classes, felt like I was doing a two for one, doing the Pilates as well as being able to sweat it out like being in a sauna. The team was really kind and instructors were really great as well. Unfortunately, I haven't been back due to an injury, but when I get a chance, I will be back

    I have been coming here religiously for almost a year now and it's still my biggest obsession! I was getting super unmotivated and bored with just gyming and decided to try out hot Pilates. Joselyn & Crystal are the owners of this hot Pilates studio, and they're the best in the Bay Area. With their second location in Hercules opening soon, I am excited for them to have more space/room since the Vallejo location has been getting a bit crowded. They formed a sense of community that I never would've thought to have. I'm a very much in-and-out type of girl when it comes to the gym, but I find myself making friends and connections here!! I'm so glad I made the leap of faith to start a new fitness journey. The mat will always be my obsession!

    I've now been at the Mat for over two years, and it's still just as amazing as when I first started going - if anything, it's only gotten better. The instructors are all great. They offer a variety of classes for all levels and needs. And they've been doing more events and community classes. Don't hesitate to come join us at the Mat!

    All you need is your Matt, a towel and some H2O. The Mat will take care of anything else. With a variety of classes ranging from hot Pilates, yoga, strength training, cardio, and many many more- you can check off doing something for yourself before the house even wakes up! Do it, I challenge you! Mom of 4, Diane

    The Mat is still an amazing place to come for an energy hype or a slow flow. They have added more equipment for workouts. This is still a ten out of ten!

    My spot for sure! I've take over 400 classes here and keep going back. It's not easy but well worth it.

You're greeted right away and honestly, that's so important when you take fitness classes in my opinion. It definitely made me feel welcome and comfortable. The cycle (or spinning?) class was taught by Candice (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) and her playlist was *insert fire emoji here*! It was such a good mix of different genres that's great for everyone taking a class. The movements were challenging but doable! And it makes it a little easy when you're going with the music. The room was dark but it had some kind of colorful lights. I'm blanking out with how to call them but it definitely made the atmosphere feel more inviting and peaceful... if that makes sense lol I know they offer other fitness classes so definitely check them out!

I personally love all the cycling, HIIT, yoga and sculpt classes. I recently started attending the kickboxing classes. I find the kickboxing classes challenging and also a great cardio workout. The instructors and fellow class mates are very motivating and supportive. I definitely recommend Copas Crew to anyone looking for a new gym.

She asked everyone before we began class if anyone had any ailments so she could tailor her focus or show you alternate ways to do poses to best suit you. She walks around to each person to allow guidance. She "picked" on me as I was a newbie but I really appreciated it. I put on my learning cap and really tried to absorb everything and try out the different resources. Oh you've got a bean bag or an eye mask, sure I'll try those out. I had never taken a restorative type class. Here you use several props to support your body, while focusing on one part of your body, you relax the rest of your body. Once you find the perfect balance, you hold each position for an extended period of time. In the classes I took in the past you moved through the poses so fast you never really felt what you were doing. This was much more focused. The music was beautiful, the light was dim, and she offered words of enlightenment along the way. It was very relaxing, rejuvenating, mind opening and perfect. I can't wait to try out the other classes the Benicia Yoga and Wellness has to offer. Thank you Laura!!

There is an exercise named the hundreds, and after doing it, my neck would hurt. I told Cristela about it after class. The next morning Cristela said she'd been thinking about it and wanted to watch me do the exercise. She noticed I lifted with my head first instead of my chest and that was what was causing my neck to hurt. She is very thoughtful with every member. It is not just Cristela that is knowledgeable, patient and kind; every instructor is invested in seeing the members work at their own pace and succeed.

Compelled enough to take time out of my life and write this review- Trust me I don't want to but I also don't think its fair I'm getting treated int his manner. Wednesday, January 10, 2024: commencement of text messages from "Club Pilates Benicia" from someone named Aaijsha? with the 1855.920.0316 text number.  Sunday, March 2, 2024: I ask for a menu, any grand opening specials & their open date. Said due to open April 6. I ask for the menu. ask me to call when I already confirmed I preferred text messages. I ask for a menu again. He/She asks for "a menu of what? I don't understand what your asking me"I state a membership menu., a brochure of all the membership options; something with all the plans people are able to select from and see the membership options. (very standard & typical for any business newly opening up) marketing material...I asked if that made senseHe/She stated they don't put pricing on brochures because prices are subject to change and asked if he/she was making sense to me.  Sometime in March:They had a couple pop-ups. One got cancelled due to the rain. Thursday, April 28, 2024: I walk into the studio as I see they are open. I finally see a brochure! never mention my experience but glad to get some questions answered. Lovely girl with bangs that helped me. She said they had a promo but never mentioned that there was a deadline. I let her know I will definitely join but needed to consult with my husband as to which plan because the promo was not applicable to the plan that includes being able to work out at other locations as we do travel.  Today, May 3, 2024 8am: I walk in because I called twice and no answer. I try and sign up to take advantage of the promo and they tell me I can't. The computer was down so I had to wait for a re-boot. I inquired about joining that day and being able to still make it to a class because I scanned the cute little QR code on the back of the brochure I got the week prior and it brought me to intro classes only for the following week and I wanted to take a class that morning or day- right away. I've already taken the into class at the Walnut Creek location and my friend is opening up the El Cerrito location but I live here so by default of course. The lady in front advises I come to the 10am class that the owner teaches. Im just exhausted at this point to get an answer, contact. I WANT TO JOIN BUT AFTER AN ENDLESS RUN AROUND & GETTING TREATED LIKE THIS,WOULD YOU SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS & JOIN? I DON'T FEEL VALUED AS A PERSON, CONSUMER, MEMBER, WOMAN, MOTHER NOTHING.
