I am a 20+ yr pilates practitioner and I enjoy a challenging but safe class and had been searching…read morefor a long time to find a studio that delivered on this. Joseph Pilates was all about discipline and I really prefer instructors who are kind but will teach with this mindset because as a postmenopausal female, I am taking the class for my health and to maintain balance, strength and bone density so Ang and Cat are my favorite go tos. This is also one of the few studios that holds to their class levels so if you are experienced and strong you can bet that the 1.5 class will give you a run for your money. If you are starting out or still working on your strength, then the 1.0 class is best for you. My goal is to work my way up to 2.0. Aside from the highly skilled and capable instructors (you can tell that Ang and Cat have been teaching effectively for decades) , they are kind and super sweet and each has their own personality I love. So if you are interested in coming to a class where people chit chat to fulfill a social need, please don't come here but if you want to feel healthier and stronger and be in the company of others like minded people, run don't walk here. An funny antedote: I only took Cat's classes at another studio 15 yrs ago and when she left, I left the studio and low and behold, I take a class to see what to expect here and guess who the instructor was- Cat!!! Needless to say between Ang and Cat, I signed up real quick. Also the studio has packages and different memberships that suit everyone's needs. Pilates IS EXPENSIVE but it is also ( done correctly) one of the best all body workouts you can find. Lastly, every person I have interacted with who works at the studio is sooooo nice. No snobby people here. That's a plus too.

Highly Recommend Club Pilates Rolling Hills!…read more I absolutely love Club Pilates Rolling Hills! The instructors here are top-tier and make every session worth it: - Cat explains everything clearly at a perfect, steady pace, making her classes wonderfully easy to follow for non-native English speakers. - Angie's classes focus beautifully on improving circulation--every time I take her class, I get a deeply restful night's sleep. - Katie introduces creative new glute exercises every single time--always challenging but so much fun! - Linda's cardio class is intense and high-energy, with great music that keeps the vibe exciting. It's a professional, welcoming, and high-quality environment. Anyone looking for a fantastic Pilates experience should definitely join!

The trainer, Siena, has honestly changed my life. I've been training with her for a while now and…read morethe results speak for themselves! Not just physically, but in my strength, mobility, and flexibility too. Each phase of training has been intentional, and she has helped me get closer to my ideal physique step by step. If you are looking for a personal trainer who truly knows what they are doing and genuinely cares about your progress, I can not recommend Siena enough!! She is the best! This is also my favorite location in SoCal! Not the largest but it's nicely keep, super friendly staff all around and a community of people that workout here!

Walking into this location feels less like a gym and more like a guided tour…read more Exhibit A -- Cardio Hall. Here we observe machines at least three generations behind what's running at other Equinox clubs. Remarkably well preserved. Please do not touch. Exhibit B -- The Palette. Yellowed satin white with pale blue painted accents. The palette follows conventions of the historical period; artisans remain unidentified. Reads Bay Club, not Equinox. Exhibit C -- Storage. This is how early humans secured their belongings: you brought a lock from home. Those who arrived without one -- as I did -- left the door open and trusted in God. Other Equinox locations have at least advanced to the rotating dial. Fifteen years ago my hometown gym opened lockers with a fingertip. Three years ago, with a face. Now, seriously -- none of this is hard to fix, and all of it is below the standard the brand charges for: 1. Cardio. A refresh is one request to headquarters away. Ask. 2. Paint. Reset to a clean pure white. Swap the blue accent for acoustic wood slat panels -- vertical battens on a black backing. Low cost, immediate lift, and it's the current Equinox language. 3. Lockers. Change the locks. Bring-your-own-padlock isn't acceptable at this price point. Keypad or RFID at minimum. Credit where it's due: the staff were friendly and respectful throughout, and I was here only as a visitor. But as it stands, this isn't a club I'd want as my home gym. Hopefully they've made some changes by the next time I'm in the area.

I looked for a clean, modern facility with knowledgeable instructors who could understand my limitations. I hit the jackpot with PolyFit Pilates working at PolyStrength Studio. PolyStrength is a beautiful studio with state of the art equipment. My instructor Megan is fantastic and very knowledgeable in the Principles of Pilates. She took the time to research my injury & plan safe flows . Megan has been my instructor for 2 1/2 months and I have seen significant improvements in my shape and strength. My abs are more defined & my body is longer . I recently got my HW removed & completed 4 sessions with her with my cast on. Megan was very in tune with making the necessary adjustments while concentrating on core & upper body strength. The sessions with her have made me excited about waking up early for my classes to see what exciting changes are in store for my body. Megan you are the BEST !!

Greatest most amazing Pilates instructor ever!! I travel often to California JUST to work with…read moreMegan. I have been to several studios and worked with several instructors, but Megan is my go-to! She's very kind and gentle with me with the fact I've had past surgeries and I experience pain in certain areas....it was her who got me back on track and back to working through the kinks with my body. Talk about feeling amazing!!!!! She still works with me all the way in Nashville and gives me weekly goals to accomplish on my home reformer! I am looking forward to working with her in her brand new studio. I will forever be grateful I have found my Megan and if you're searching for a beautiful Pilates studio with the most amazing human being ever that will give you her 100% full focus, just do it. Try ONE session and thank me later!!

I've been on a fitness journey this year and one place I continue to visit each week is Pilates…read moreEffects. The studio is clean, and the reformers are well maintained. There are quite a few teachers at this studio and your mileage may vary depending on which class you take. But if you take the time to try the different classes, you'll find an instructor you click with. I mainly book through ClassPass, no complaints there. Highly recommend this place for beginners too! Their intro classes were just the right level of challenge.

Unfortunately, this was the worst experience I've ever had at a fitness studio…read more The owner/instructor, Joyce, arrived 15 minutes late, yet the class still ran 25 minutes over the scheduled end time. Very inconsiderate. Throughout the class, Joyce was rude, dismissive, and visibly frustrated. She repeatedly rolled her eyes, singled me out, and made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. This was a class of only five people, four of whom were regulars, yet she repeatedly forgot my name. At one point, it became very clear that Joyce did not understand the difference between a person's natural anatomy and an injury. I clearly explained that what I was modifying for was not an injury, but simply the way my body is built and that I needed to modify accordingly. She did not listen to what I was saying and instead rolled her eyes and became upset that I hadn't disclosed my "injury." She even said, "That's why I asked at the beginning if anyone had injuries," which felt condescending and dismissive. Not every physical difference or modification is the result of an injury. Her instructions were also unclear and contradictory. She would give one instruction and then immediately change it under her breath, becoming frustrated when we didn't follow what she wanted. I've taken many fitness and Pilates classes at different studios and understand that instructors need to correct form and challenge clients. However, there is a difference between being a demanding instructor and being disrespectful and unprofessional. When I mentioned that this type of treatment is how businesses end up receiving bad reviews, she began yelling at me. I left feeling embarrassed, uncomfortable, and completely unwelcome. I would not return and would not recommend this studio to anyone looking for a positive experience with their workouts and health.
