I immediately signed up for the lovely two week deal and got to try each instructor; everyone is wonderful and very tentative to detail, I have never felt looked over in any of my classes. The studio is clean and very inviting, the class sizes are small and they have everything you could possibly need to comfortably perform Pilates at any level. It's so easy to book your classes online. You'll fall in love with this little Pilates community.

Had a bad experience here and would NEVER recommend it to anyone. I was on vacation in Palm Springs…read moreand wanted to take a pilates class close to my hotel. I found this place and walked in to inquire about the Yelp promo I had seen offering 1 free session. As soon as I walked in, I could sense attitude coming from the owner Johnny, especially after asking about the Yelp promo WHICH IS LISTED HERE ON HIS YELP PAGE. He told me to come back for one of the afternoon classes, then immediately took it back and told me that the class was cancelled and to come for a different class that would start in 15 minutes. I already felt the negativity in his voice and was hesitant but decided to let it go and give it a try. The pilates class itself was not bad and that is the only reason I am even giving it a star at all. But still, Johnny was being very cold toward me and was only acting that way toward me, and not to the other attendees. There was even another person in the class who was there for the first time, yet Johnny was nice and helpful to him but not treating me with that same kindness. Immediately after the class, Johnny loudly says to me in front of the everyone, "How are you going to pay me?". I reminded him of the Yelp promo we had discussed earlier and he snarkily said "OK so do that then." Then while collecting payment from the other first timer, he sarcastically said "I love you. This is so nice" to the man, while holding up his credit card. I knew that was directed toward me because he was upset that I wanted to use the free session coupon. I felt so disrespected that I just ended up walking away after that. I have NEVER experienced such disrespect at any Pilates studio I had been to before, and I've gone to many. I was being very respectful and nice, even though I was being treated the exact opposite. He shouldn't be including a free session promo on his Yelp page if he doesn't want people to ask about it. I would think twice before coming here, especially if you are just visiting. Places like this will never earn my business again and I will make sure to warn all of my friends and family visiting Palm Springs. I also noticed later that all of his Yelp reviews are from years ago and that should have already been a red flag to me.

I have been doing Pilates for almost 25 years so I was thrilled to happen upon ECore Fitness four…read moreyears ago while scoping out Pilates studios in Palm Springs. First I appreciate this is not a "franchise" Pilates studio but a boutique Pilates studio owned by Sean Bergara. He is an experienced Pilates instructor and educator. He has created his own brand of Athletic Reformer Pilates which is very fun and challenging for your level. He and his team of instructors are excellent. They are willing to work with your physical abilities and injuries to ensure you get the workout you need. I love how there is a modification for all levels. Second, the studio is lovely, modern and clean. It even smells good. There are eight reformers so classes are small so you can get help or corrections if need be. The environment is very friendly and inviting whether you are there for a week, the season or a local. I highly recommend Sean and his team!

I have sustained a massive injury. I have constant pain and a spinal fluid leak and can no longer do any kind of physical activity. I have been trying to cancel since the end of March. The gym manager demanded I come in person, or mail a letter along with my medical documents as proof in order to receive a refund or to process my cancellation. I have tried informing them over the phone that what they are doing is illegal. I do not have the ability to come in person or go to the post office. They should have accepted the hand delivered letter my father tried to deliver. They don't care. They refuse to process my cancellation continuously. There are multiple accounts of them doing this to other customers online. This can't continue.

Use to really enjoy this gym but its not what it use to be…read more Firstly, they almost always have a busted machine or something out of order. Stair stepper never works, neither of the ellipticals worked last time, only one out of 3 treadmills works properly. The other 2 don't incline. Maybe you should invest in new equipment? I come in with a day pass when we are in town and have noticed for the past year at least that the tile is coming up on the carpet in the weight room. Are you ever going to fix it??? Or are you going to wait til someone trips over it with weights and gets seriously injured? I Will never come back here and am shocked they still have members when they're obviously not getting their money worth with working equipment and a safe workout room.

Since the other gyms in the area are closed on Sunday I thought I would come check out Bodytek…read more Glad I did. This is probably the nicest, newest and cleanest gym in the area. And its only $10.00 for a day pass! If you need a gym for a few days to work out at and are coming from out of town I would definitely choose this place. Or if I lived here in Big Bear this is where I would join! Their rates are very good here. They have everything you need except for a legit free weight bench press. But they do have two squat racks you can easily convert into a bench since they do have a good amount of flat bench dumbbell benches. Good amount of cable machines. WHAT MAKES THIS GYM TOTALLY LEGIT AND SUPER COOL: The Aerobics Room. However I wouldn't call it that since it sounds too 1980's Richard Simmons like. But rather the room of Pain and Gain because thats what this room is all about if its used correctly. This room is a gold mine. I used to train with Jake Shields and Gil Melendez at Fairtex for 8 years and this is all these MMA fighters used to do: Battle Ropes, Tires, Kettle Bell exercises, Heavy Bag Muy Thai, Core Strengthening, Jump HIIT training, etc.. Its ALL about HIIT training. Although its good for you, you won't get shredded doing moderate steady cardio. You gotta do HIIT. If I lived here I would be in this room 6 days a week. Even where I work out at in OC at Golds Gym and 24 Hour Fitness we don't have a room like this. Forget the treadmills! Get in this room! 8 one-minute rounds of battle ropes hard core all out as hard as you can (30 seconds rest between rounds) is better than one hour steady state on the treadmill. And those monkey bars. My upper body was on fire after doing a few rounds of that!

I have been to many studios and have worked with many teachers. I love Big Bear Pilates and Siri D. First of all Big Bear Pilates is the best studio I have ever worked in. Bright, open, and with a terrific selection of top quality equipment. Siri D deserves credit for having the cleanest studio I have ever seen. . I love it!! Siri is a terrific teacher. She is very knowledgeable about Pilates. Something that I find very unique about her is that she has an instinct for how hard to push you in a workout. My biggest objection to other teachers has been that their workouts were either too easy or too hard. Siri pays attention, and pushes you as hard as you need to go at that moment, as opposed to running you through a generic series of exercises. A great Pilates Studio!!
