TLDR--I have taken great classes and am sure this is a great spot for some people, but I would not…read morerecommend it to my poc friends. I relocated here from another city, where I took lessons in classic pilates, and was originally suspicious of the painfully curated Instagram aesthetic of this place that makes it feel more like late capitalism hot girl scam than actual serious pilates (which would more successfully turn you into the scam lol), but had a really wonderful time in a series of group classes this past summer with an instructor whom I believe only works there over the summer. With that being said, after a while of life just being busy / getting in the way, I wanted to restart with classes here. . .and oh boy was that a learning experience. This studio offers 0 flexibility and grace for life stuff that happens --such as missing a class (which happened once, that I just sucked up) or arriving more than 5 minutes late ( I was 10-15 min late), which happened today and I am like :o wtf at. The front desk was polite and apologetic--I understand they just have to follow the rules. The studio's overall mode of reasoning and their delivery is-white woman. If you are a poc you understand exactly what I'm talking about. First off, this space is is incredibly white--I've never felt fully comfortable here but there's limited options around here and I'm just trying to exercise rather than feel fully safe in a place (a fantasy!). I said it was feeling racist and she said she can't help the way she looks (which is true) but girlllllll I also can't help the way I look--and I would totally choose to look more like her if it meant I'd potentially get offered to take the other class that was starting at the time I arrived [broken heart emoji] Anyway, she kept iterating that this was policy that they had to follow (lmao the policy you have in minuscule fine print somewhere pages in? Put it in font 20 on your website front page and I won't say a word). The other reason she gave is that it's for your own safety, that if you come after stretching it's dangerous if you go straight into exercise (which means if you exercise and hurt yourself we don't want liability). This was infuriating because 1) the instructors (other than the one I had this summer) do not actually correct alignment / posture and just go through the motions of the movements while looking aesthetic in a matching exercise outfit, so I'm not sure if there is any actual safety to begin with and 2) Would they have been more accommodating if I looked more like them and / or the Daughters of the Confederacy? Very uncertain! This person I was speaking to was definitely uncomfortable / not sure how to deal with me, but then, while she was gone, I talked to the second front desk who had been staring at the convo the whole time and this is where it gets more fun. I asked if the person who owns the space is around and she said no (btw, am I becoming a speak to your manager kind of person? oh boy!) This person is like fully glaring at me, and I asked if she had context on my convo, and at first she goes I didn't hear it, but then when I explained the convo she said that the first person did nothing wrong and was very nice and mannered while talking to me (which she absolutely was) and that this was policy. I explained that just because tone and manner is nice doesn't mean that the actual intent / words are kind, and said that based on this racist vibe I'm getting, I feel like I probably shouldn't come back here, and then she goes: "Good!" LOOOOOL. Ok. Good! I was definitely angry about my experience this morning but am in the process of letting it go as paying a price for a lesson learned.

We did so much.. butpees, threw a heavy ball up the wall while doing squats, sit ups, pull ups, pull ups on rings, lunges and more.

The coaches here truly want to see you succeed and celebrate your milestones, such as hitting 50 classes and upping your spring load. Each coach has their own style but the workouts are consistent. I'm not going to lie, the workouts are tough! I was dying Mr first class and I still feel that way from time to time. But you'll see results - strength and toned is what will happen to you if you continue to work at it and stick with it. I think you can find classes on class pass, but I book through the app since you can see your stats, plus a membership makes it more affordable.

I have been going to triangle for almost 2 years and it pains me to leave a one star review. But I…read morehad to cancel my membership for some non-negotiables. Pros: - The staff: They are pleasant, knowledgeable about climbing, and a joy to be around. - Climbing: Engaging, and I love the routes they come up with. - Community: Great people, and truly what I'll miss most. Cons: - Filth: There is no regular professional cleaning service and the grime continues to be ignored. It has built up to a point I cannot justify paying the exorbitant price. -- There have been small black bugs in the spa shower since July 2025, and I have notified staff several times. They have multiplied in this time. Picture/video attached. -- There is black mold in both the steam room and sauna. I have notified staff several times. I go to the steam and sauna for my asthma, but it only makes it worse at Triangle. Pictures attached. -- For those that aren't spa-goers, it may disgust you to learn that triangle staff, after acknolwedging the aforementioned points, said the nastiest thing in the gym is the rock holds. -- The turf in the weight room is sticky in parts and matted down with conglomerated sweat. - Unresponsive: I brought up issues many times with staff, but the cleanliness never gets addressed. It took over a year of multiple members complaining about urine stains and smells in the mens bathroom for them to simply add an air freshener and smell-reducing pad to the toilets. -- I do NOT expect your desk staff to clean the whole facility. This requires a competent professional service. -- A response from triangle to a prior review from a month ago mentioned a professional crew within "the coming week or so." There has been no change, not in the last month, not in the last 2 years. - Pricing: I originally paid the individual membership price of $89 a month. When my roommates discovered the group plan we were told it would be $39 each for 3 members. Seemed too good to be true but we were reassured. Online, 3 members should amount to $197 ($66 each). Turns out we were charged $267 ($89 each) per month of our group membership. Triangle has not returned any of our contact about this overcharging and it is beginning to feel predatory. So, Triangle, I implore you to: 1. Clean your entire facility. It's embarrassing. 2. Provide straightforward pricing for memberships and make sure all staff are trained in this before they sign people up. 3. Respond to your members concerns. We want to keep being a part of Triangle. Thank you, and I would be elated to see these changes and revise my review to reflect them.

I joined Yelp to leave this review here because I am at my wits end. I reluctantly agree with…read moreJared's 1-star review that TRC does not keep up its facility. 5 stars to the staff, setters, and community. 1 to the management and upkeep. Have been member 2 yrs, roughly 3 times a week. In that time, the spa has had either or both the hot tub or the cold plunge out of temp/order at least once a week. When I finally spoke up about it in Jan 2026, the spa closed for several weeks for "repair". The hot tub remains broken/tepid, and the cold plunge has been over 50F, sometimes 65F, most days since they replaced the chiller, though it's set at 46F. The sauna bench is collapsing from rot. Yes there's mold. Saw the bugs in Jared's video--that's where you shower before you get in hot/cold tubs. The spa floor has been cleaner most days, but still has the occasional muck and mud suggesting nobody has looked at it all day. Last year there was a piece of green chewing gum on the floor for 3 months. Audio system in common area is blown/distorted--since late 2025. Maybe turn it off if it's pumping out static and you're not willing to fix it? Problem solved. Exercise bike missing pedal straps since Sept 2025 despite 3+ emails to TRC. Why do you leave a broken machine in this room? Maybe remove it if you're not willing to fix it? Problem solved. So much of this is own-goal stuff. Painful to see. Infuriating to pay for. My emails to ask these things be fixed have been met with a mixture of genuine understanding, lip service, advice on "how I shouldn't feel about it", and assurances that they're looking into it. I'm not a hot tub repairman, but for the 5-6 weeks? the spa was closed to unsuccessfully repair it, a new one could have been installed that is current tech. The CEO graciously offered me a refund on me and my partner's $1400+ annual prepaid membership. I hope I do not have to take him up on that, I would miss my friends and climbing partners and the excellent work of the setters (yall rock). I am afraid to get my hopes up, but am leaving this here less as a warning to others and more in an effort to light a fire under the operators to maintain their facility and provide the services its members pay for.
