Went in to use the restroom while waiting, locked the door and an employee didn't knock and just started unlocking the door until I said something and she stopped. Then she waited 10-20 seconds before saying "we are closing for the night and I need to lock this restroom so hurry up" no I'm sorry for almost walking in on you or anything. Just an annoyed and disgusted look as I left. Sorry for having to use the restroom a half hour before you guys close and you just wanted to leave early. read more

Love the ladies here! Mel is one of my favorite instructors, but all of them are so attentive and encouraging. Definitely recommend visiting this place if you're new to Pilates! read more

This review is for Carrie D'Arcangelo. I am a wunda client for few years now and I almost been in all of the instructors classes but i got to say Carries class is at the top of my list. Why? Because she truly cares that you do all the exercises correctly. She actually comes and corrects you right at the spot. She is not scared to touch you. I noticed almost all instructors are avoiding to touch their clients, it's almost like they are scared to touch and correct them? I dont know but how else do you really show a client how it's done! Anyways, just wanted to say that you are awesome and i love ithat you give your 100% effort and energy to make that class happen. Big THANK YOU to you! read more

I've been going to this studio for almost 2 years and it's been so refreshing. All of the instructors actually care about you and your form, they'll recognize you, and it's been such an amazing little community. I've never felt judged or intimidated in class. You'll see all ranges of age and everyone is very welcoming. Extra attention to the new folks which I appreciate. All of the instructors have asked about any medical issues to accommodate workouts. Def check it out if you're considering. read more

Thank you so much to Wundabar and ALL of the amazing staff I've encountered for the past 7 months I've attended this Pilates studio. Special shoutout to Janeth and Carrie for being some of my favorite instructors ever. After gaining quite a bit of Covid weight (I know.. it happens to the best of us), I decided to start taking my fitness seriously and I've heard really great things about Pilates. After looking for a local Pilates studio, I decided to check this place out for the first time months ago. As a first-time Pilates student, I was honestly so scared and did not know what to expect but my instructor Carrie truly made me feel so welcome and she made sure to pay extra attention to me for my first couple of sessions. The instructors are super easy to follow along with and I love how I never know what type of workout I'm going to get each day and with each instructor. The classes are beginner-friendly while at the same time being challenging but also fun and invigorating. The workout studio itself is bright, welcoming, clean, and well-maintained. Also, I feel like I have to mention that after attending this studio for around 7 months I have noticed such a drastic and noticeable transformation not only in physicality but also in my mental well-being. Pilates is a workout that you keep attending and one day you look at yourself in the mirror and you look toned in all of the right places. Overall, I cannot recommend this Pilates studio enough. The exceptional instructors, top-notch facility, and high-quality classes make it the perfect place for anyone looking to improve their well-being in a fun atmosphere. I recently fractured my spine and haven't been able to attend a class for 3 months but I am so excited to be back for more! read more

I'm really impressed! Before last week, I had never done Pilates before and made my way here after buying a groupon deal to try out 5 classes at a lower cost! So far, I have taken 3 of the 5 classes and I have loved them all. I love that the class is only 45 minutes and challenging enough to keep me going, but not so hard that I want to give up. I have taken my first 3 classes with 3 different teachers and each have something unique to offer. The day after each class, my muscles feel like I worked out, even though the classes don't make you feel like you are going to be sore the next day! So far, so good! I look forward to seeing the results a few months down the road! read more

Love this place. Owner is amazing and there are several excellent instructors. Total game changer when it comes to Pilates.

I just had to write this. With teachers like Hilary and Amy, the WundaFlex class in Montrose, Ca. not only grows the flexibility and strength of my body, but it also grows my confidence and inner strength as a woman. This is a space to honor and care for myself, and I am so grateful! I want the whole world to experience this #WundaLove read more

Love WundaBar Pilates! I'd heard wonderful things about Pilates, specially Wundabar Pilates, but hadn't had the chance to try it out until this year. I've taken classes from many of the instructions who are all incredibly knowledgeable and kind. While they've all been great classes - some tougher than others, my favorites have to be Hilary, Jessica, and Amy, the founder of Wundabar Pilates. read more

What a fantastic way to kick off 2016! I had always heard about how Pilates is a fantastic way to tone up your body, but didn't really give it a try. Until a few weeks back! And boy am I happy that I did. I bought a bundle deal from Groupon, $89 for 10 sessions which is a fantastic deal given the fact that each Wundabar class is $30.00. So that deal was a steal! I created an account online and picked my location which was Montrose since it's so close to me. Their classes tend to fill up pretty fast so if you have a specific schedule or want a specific instructor, you better hurry and book your classes in advance. What's so great about their schedule page is that above each instructor they have a little pop up that gives a little bit of history about them. Based on those little instructions I picked my instructors. I picked Nikki, and I'm so in love with her attitude and her routines. She is just always positive and she motivates you to do better! Brandon is also another person I tried who is very positive and has a sense of calmness to him that just instantly relaxes you. I got lucky in one of my classes and got Amy. She is the masterpiece behind Wundabar - and wow was she tough! I was so sore the next day and I LOVED IT! I think it's safe to say by now that I'm just in love with this woke out program and I plan on continuing it to get back into shape! Even though I wrote some tips, I will also list them here: *if it's your first time trying it, go about 10 minutes earlier so the instructor could show you how to use the machine. *there are parking spots in the front on Honolulu street, but if they're taken try the Chase parking lot across the street. *your first class is free. But be prepared to love it and keep coming back! read more

See all

Hooked! Carrie is the BEST! Super clean location and ample parking. Classes kick your butt in the best way!

I enjoyed these classes and felt the studio was very clean and the workout was a good one. However, there was not a lot of hands on help for the small class. I took a few different instructor's classes and mostly felt like no one even looked at me for form, acknowledgement, etc.. It wasn't a very community feel so I don't think I will be going back. I used a Groupon to check the studio out, but the regular class price (I believe over $20) is way too high unless you are getting personal, hand on help every class. The machines they use are similar to Pilates Reformers but more bulky. I prefer regular Pilates reformer class over Wundabar but your first class is free so try it for yourself! read more

Well, I used my Groupon special. 5 classes for 55$ which is a super deal. I had never tried any of the Pilates Plus studios and this was my first. I liked it. 40 minutes makes the time go by really fast. The change in routine/exercises keeps you busy and unable to get bored. I am not sure I had any results however or felt like it changed my body or would. But, that may be because I am in pretty good shape and workout a lot at the gym and go to classes there. I am also a Bar Method fan which I think gives better results. But, this is different and kinda fun too. The instructors have awesome fitness going on! This is great for someone who has a mainly cardio workout and wants to add some toning. Pricey though. If it were not for the promotion, I would not have bought a package of 5. If they have another promotion, I may try again for some change in routine read more

Wow! I can't believe it's been so long since I have Yelp!. So here I go with my ever so candid review. Enjoy! Anyone up for torture devices??? Yep, this is the new and improved version of the old school days where people were put on machines that put your body through hell....THIS bad baby is just the "modern" version. So step right up cause the classes get full real quick! (Speaking of which I can't take credit that I actually came up with the name "torture device". My dear friend Chas actually was the one who said to me, " Really? Pilates? Isn't that where they use those torture devices?" I of course nodded emphatically, "Yes, I guess that's one way of seeing it." But seriously everyone, this studio with their wonderfully high energetic instructors has made this experience rewarding. The workout is intense to say the least, but what makes this a sweet victory for everyone who partakes in this adventure are the modifications that allows everyone a chance to work at their own ability. The instructors candidly respect the different levels and you can adjust the weight and intensity for your body. I enjoy that they watch your form as well and adjust as much as they can with the given amount of people in the class - 10. I have only been at it for a month, and while my weight hasn't change I can see considerable differences in my legs looking fit and less "chunky" as well as a more firm and slimmer waistline. People at work have even commented on my "supposed" weight loss. I am looking forward to seeing what month two will entail and can honestly say for someone who gets loss in the stagnant energy I created myself and the hectic moments of city life this place really has brought me back to a commitment for a healthier fitter body. Side Note: 1. They have the classes online so it makes it so much easier to sign-up and see the schedules by the minute literally! Having something that internet savvy allows me to plan my days accordingly without making phone calls and what not. 2. If you happen to take a class, the spots near the wood pillars bite. If there isn't another opening then make do, but if the class has exercises that require the back platform you might find the pillar to be in your way. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't for me. 3. This is a PLUS studio so the workout is different from the standard pilates. But it does incorporate the basic principles, with resistance metal coil bands and a quick cardio. Oh yeah I actually like the exercises btw and I have practiced floor/mat work for almost 2 years awhile back :) read more

First time at this studio and so far I like it. The only thing missing is cubbies to put your stuff in. There's also no sitting area. So far the class is challenging. Pretty much the usual reformer exercises. read more

WundaBar - Grip socks - Pilates Near Me - Montrose, California

I'm 8 sessions into my Groupon 10 deal... and I think I'm going to be a regular after my deal is over (I believe it's $199 for 12 classes a month right now). I waited to review WundaBar until I was almost done with my sessions to be as fair as possible. The classes are actually fun. Each session flies by and I rarely get "bored". It's challenging enough to feel the burn during the session, but I'm not crazy sore or anything the next day. It's definitely a workout, don't get me wrong, but you don't have to be sore to notice your body transforming. I'm still learning each session, but glad I gave WundaBar a chance; my body is starting to tone up in areas where even working out separately on my own would be hard to achieve. Parking can be challenging, but it's Montrose, so it's nothing new. read more

I was disappointed with WundaBar's communication. I tried to sign up for a class, but the website was down. I called and left two messages. I provided my name and a call back number each time. I decided to show up to the class, since it was not full the day before and the voicemail stated that they receive all messages. The person that was signing everyone in was rude and not helpful at all. read more

the most addicting workout ever!! All instructors are super nice & thorough, the studio is bright & clean puts u in such a good mood.

I am so thankful that my world (and my getting there long and lean bod) collided with WundaBar's earlier this year! I'm also super thankful that WundaBar chose Montrose for a studio location, too, because it's now opened my eyes to the adorableness that is Montrose. I had always stayed away from pilates because I didn't think I was petite enough to benefit from it, but boy was that foolish thinking. It's transformed my body more consistently than pretty much any other type of physical activity I've tried. And, I think at this point I've tried them all! The concise movements on and off the machine really help to shape your figure into a svelter form. Pretty sure I've had every instructor and they're all great, but each has their own style incorporating different types of exercises and music selection. Some I prefer over others, though haven't been able to keep a regular schedule to really feel connected to any in particular. Some are more hands on and some are more encouraging from afar. I love that the first class is free at each studio (Montrose, Pasadena, and Studio City), so you can try out all three before committing to one studio. I don't love that the package of classes isn't transferable, so whichever studio you purchase the package of classes for is the only studio you can use said package at (makes sense but wasn't as spelled out on the website - or I wasn't paying full attention). The above is frustrating at times because there are only 10 machines in each class, which means 10 spaces and if you're not glued to your computer when the week's classes open, you're out of luck. I happen to have a very flexible schedule, so taking a class at 11:30am during the week is easy for me to attend, however someone with a more regular schedule could find it difficult to secure a spot or make best use of their package (if it has an expiration date attached to it). The WundaBar app is pretty awesome and makes the whole selecting of classes pretty seamless (just make sure you're an avid checker of your email if you sign up for a waitlist so you don't get dinged for not showing up if you're moved to the confirmed list). The machines are a little close together and for the most part, not an issue, but it can get a little intimate (a dirty foot in your face or your unpolished toesies wiggling in someone's space) when you're stretching or moving around the machine for the various exercises. I made great use of my introductory offer of $72 for 10 classes for a month and noticed fantastic results so I will 100% be continuing my residency with WundaBar, even if it's just paying for individual classes on the go. read more

WundaBar - Positive reinforcement! - Pilates Near Me - Montrose, California

I've been taking Pilates for a few years and was looking for a new studio. On a recommendation from my neighbor (who has gotten excellent results), I signed up for the unlimited month at Pilates Plus Montrose and attended 8 classes with 5 different instructors. My biggest complaint? This is NOT Pilates: this is weight training. Is weight training a great way to tone muscles? Absolutely. But I didn't pay for weight training. Shame on me for not doing more research. And shame on them for pretending they offer Pilates classes. Looking in the window, you can see that group classes of 10 are on specialized machines that look kind of like reformers, but aren't reformers. Students performing the same exercise do them quite differently, and are obviously working different muscle groups as a result. In the classes I attended, instructors rarely corrected anyone's form. For the most part, the instructors are friendly, but I'm not impressed by the training the instructors receive in this franchise. Of the 5 instructors I worked with, 4 barely MENTIONED form. The workout you can expect is 30 seconds on each exercise - minimal reps with a lot of weight. Anyone who has actually done Pilates knows that a lot of weight makes it nearly impossible to keep your form, so maybe it's better that they ignore it all together. Compared to a real Pilates class, the ab work was minimal. I'm not arguing that weight training doesn't get results, but Pilates Plus misrepresents their curriculum. I wanted Pilates - so I signed up for "Pilates Plus." If I wanted weight training, I'd sign up for "Weight Training Plus." Basically, this entire franchise is false advertising. If you want to teach weight training, then own it. Don't pretend to be something your not just because Pilates is a buzz-word. For anyone who's into Pilates, this isn't the place you want to go. read more

I have maintained a 40 pound weight loss and I officially hit a plateau with my body a few months ago. I did everything and anything I could at the gym and my body just did not respond to any of it. At the advice of a friend, I started Pilates in November and WOW!! Talk about results!!! This is truly the first work out that I have noticed the physical changes in my own body. Its awesome! Pilates Plus (in Montrose) has improved the way I look and feel. All of the instructors are amazing, fun and attentive. I think my only complaint would have to be... the price. But hey you get what you pay for! Trust me I am not rich or even close, but I make sure that I budget for Pilates! If it means I forgo a few nights out and an outfit or two, so be it. YES, its that good! read more

I AM HOOKED!!!! I first was introduced to Pilates Reformers at a Yelp event for fitness. Ever since then, I'm in love. Well, love/hate. Love the feeling of Pilates afterwards, hate the feeling of burns!! I love each class because every day is different. So far I've taken classes from Renee, Cassidy and Rendel and they are all ass-kickers!! I love when Rendel uses the ring, it really works out your abs. Everytime I have a class with Renee, I am so sore days after. She's a tough cookie but will help you if you get lost or if it's a challenging move. I am really getting hooked on Cassidy's early morning classes too. She's great first thing in the morning, and you feel so good afterwards. You can go about your day knowing you worked out hard first thing in the morning. All the teachers are super nice and try to correct your position as well as motivate you to hold long or pulse long or squat lower! I love it. You definitely feel it for days afterward. Hope to continue these classes! They have an introductory rate of 10 class for $72!! What a bargain!! read more

Yeah - I 10000% disagree with Lina E.'s review. Also her pricing is a bit off. The new client special is 12 classes for $99, NOT 6/$99... I have been going to this studio for about 3 years now (rainjarden). Originally it was Pilates Plus, Montrose...they are now WundaBar Pilates. It DOES integrate cardio with toning. I do semi-agree with Lena in that this workout is primarily for toning, and most people have a cardio routine in parallel with this workout. But that is typical for any type of toning exercise. Saying this workout is just stretching is so far off base. And I dare say that if that gal barely broke a sweat, then she surely wasn't doing it right. The Workout.... ...is amazing. I have worked out muscles in places I did not even know I had muscles. The machine is easy to use once you get the hang of it. I see a few other clients struggle with it at first, but never after they've used it for a while. Each workout is aimed at full body. My first year with this studio I received more compliments on my body than ever before. After trying bootcamps, personal trainers, work-out videos I found WundaBar to be my favorite. If you are a beginner I suggest taking a couple of the ToolBox classes. They explain a little more about what you should be focusing on, and the intent of each exercise. I do enjoy that in most classes the teacher gives you visuals to follow. Understanding what you are doing makes for so much better of a work out. As with most studio's, you should try out as many teachers as you can and find the ones you like. There are some that are my style and some that are not. The staff is ALWAYS helpful, always personable, and always responsive. They work primarily by email but always respond lightning fast. Your first class is FREE, which is always a bonus. Also, every dollar you spend there goes into a Perkville point's system and eventually becomes free classes once you have saved enough. I just redeemed my 5 free classes last week, woohoo! Their Pilates Plus Website used to say that after 20 classes you would have a new body, and it was so true. Stick to this exercise, and you will see something great happen to yourself! Happy Exercising! read more

I am a firm believer in Pilates, it truly truly tones your body in all the right places!! (Butt, upper thighs, arms, back and stomach) However compared to X-treme Pilates which is located in La Canada, Wundabar fell short a little. First off their machines are not the easiest I've used, they seem a bit stiff, loud, and complicated. The reformer machines I've used before with all the same functions were much more sleek, lightweight, smooth and easy to use. There was an instance at Wundabar where we were using the chair function and mine seemed to be clicked all the way but in the midst of the move it fell back down but luckily I didn't get hurt and caught myself. But not gonna lie I was scared that would happen again. Also the level of difficulty varied amongst the teachers. I tried to avoid certain classes on certain days because I felt the teacher didn't challenge us enough and I didn't get the most out of it. My favorite teacher was Grace she definitely pushes the class and I always felt accomplished after her classes so thank you!! Other than that Wundabar is a clean facility with nice staff and they often have Groupon deals so check those out! read more

WOW! I'm in so much pain right now and I just took the class yesterday. It was my first time taking pilates and I was able to pick up quickly. Amy was so sweet. Since the classes are small the trainers are able to personally help you with your form. I started sweating within 10 mins. Every muscle was being worked without feeling any strain or pulling-since I had shoulder surgery it was great. The next day (today) I woke up feeling soreness all over. Soreness=great workout I'll definitely continue to take more classes it's a great workout with little strain to your body. read more

I love love LOVE this studio! The instructors are all very nice and helpful. They pay extra attention to form and breathing, which I feel gets me the best results. 45 minutes always goes by really fast and I leave feeling energized and eager to come back for more. Sadly, I don't know if I will continue to come to WundaBar since they've recently raised their prices ($220 per month for 12 classes). If it ever goes back into my budget, I will definitely be back for more! read more

I have done all kinds of workouts and I have to say that I have been going to Pilates Plus Montrose for a while now and I love it. The instructors are friendly and super helpful. The classes there have changed my body, I have never been so lean and tone! In my opinion if you looking for a great workout without it being high impact, go visit Pilates Plus Montrose. read more

I'm a lagree method enthusiast so my review is largely influenced by this preference fyi Positives- location, decor, branding, certain exercises like the jump while on your back. Negatives- very slow paced, small amount of reps, no cubbies, 45 min is insufficient esp given the ease of the class. read more

Pilates Plus Montrose is changing my life! I quit my gym membership. My body has changed so much in the short time I've been working out there. This has been such a happy surprise. I love the exercises. I love the teachers. I love the class size. They offer very reasonable packages. I recommend trying the free class. If you like it, sign up for a month. You won't regret it. My only complaint is that the classes can be a little stuffy. :( read more

If you are going for the first time, bring a towel and a water bottle. Wear light weight clothes and prepare to sweat. I had taken one Pilates course while in Hawaii last year and thought it was something I would enjoy, so I finally made the commitment to try Pilates Plus. Claire, I agree with you this is not what I expected either, I have never weight trained so I don't know about that. I consider this Pilates on steroids. I think it is a great workout and after several months have noticed a difference. I find each of the instructors very helpful and reassuring. They certainly spend a lot of time correcting my form ;-) read more

This is a great work-out, that allows for individual growth with regards to core strength, building of lean muscle, and overall coordination. I would highly recommend it, for any/all genders, ages, & fitness levels. The classes are high energy, quick, and fruitful. On a personal note; as an ex-athlete the type of training @ PPM has allowed me greater use of my badly damaged knees & shoulders. As I tell everyone: "I wish I had this (specific) work-out back in college." read more

Let me start by saying I didn't care much for this place the first couple of sessions since I didn't like most of the teachers it tried but then I found a few that are really awesome! Randall is incredible, especially with pregnant moms! I've been taking her classes twice a week and I'm 5 months pregnant now and I look forward to her classes. She's so attentive and makes sure I don't do anything that might hurt me or the baby! I wish she had more classes. Also Kate is awesome but she only teaches once and week and also heather is great as well! I highly recommend this place for pregnant women read more

Again I continue to love this workout. Amazing studios with GREAT routines. I got introduced to this place by my friend who used her groupon deal 5 classes for 55$ which is a super deal. I am not sure how I missed on it, BUT even paying full price for this workout is well worth it. This workout has improved the way I look and feel. I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 star since instructors should afford more attention to correcting forms (which you get at other studios) read more

This is a great place to sign up if you a busy body (like me) always running around and cant figure out a time to get your workouts in. The online scheduling is so easy its just clicks away from you getting the exact appointment date and time that convenient for me. AND my favorite i get to choose who my instructor will be. What i like about choosing who I want to work out with it gives me a chance to explore and see which intructor is best suitable for my "style" of Pilates. Let's face it not everyone gets along with every trainer. I like this place for its fast, easy, no pressure yet it makes you commit. read more

I still go to Pilate Plus Montrose 3 times a week. I like to have a day to recover between each workout. Even after 8 months, I still find the classes challenge my my body in new ways. The instructors are always saying "slow and controlled' -- when I really listened to this and followed the instruction -- I noticed it adds extra challenge to my workout. Like some of the other reviewers, I used to spend hours at the gym with so-so results. Now, I keep PPM as my core workout and build in yoga and aerobics workouts at home. A quick reply to Claire K's review. It sounds like she was looking specifically for a traditional pilates studio. I hope she will take another look at PPM -- it is a pilates-based exercise that taps into circuit training. I find it a great combination. Just about everyone going to PPM knows this workout is different from traditional pilates. I have heard my instructors call out this distinction many times -- and they specifically tailor their feedback and corrections for this type of workout. During class, they always walk amongst the students to adjust form. In the past, I have attended traditional pilates classes on mat and reformer. For me, the PPM workout is just more fun! read more

For someone who has tried different workout classes in L.A., this is by far my favorite! I have been going here for about 3 years now and probably won't stop. I'm kinda addicted at this point. The instructors are all great and super friendly. Each one has their unique way of training. If you want to tone those stubborn muscles without bulking up this is the place to go! read more

I went to WundaBar looking for a good workout and, after an hour, I left without even breaking a sweat... It sounds like the place has transformed from a typical pilates studio to "pilates on machines." In my opinion, WundaBar would be ideal for someone who already has a routine cardio workout in place and just wants to tone up. Even that may be a stretch. No pun intended. That's exactly what it felt like it was - a class that focuses on stretching, while attempting to specialize in strength "core" training. Given it was my first time here, I had a free pass to use. Otherwise, classes are $29 each (special offer for new members: $99 for 6 classes). A few upsides: The registration process is easy and convenient. It takes a minute via the link on their website. The small class size of 10 people is great. The machines are clean and fairly new. The instructor (Valerie) was pleasant and encouraging. Knowing it was my first time, she helped me with the machine and guided me with a few of the techniques. She was also very toned...so if she follows her own routines, it's a good sign I guess?! Overall conclusion: I doubt I'd go back. I'm glad I didn't spend $29 having someone tell me how to stretch, something I could very well do at home...or at the gym, where I'd pay less than $29 a month for a greater number of perks. read more

This is my just over a year later update. I am still hooked, I absolutely love this place and get excited when I wake up and know I have a class set up after work. Recently my boyfriend bought me classes for my birthday and they even gave him a military discount which just made me love them more. Thank you Wundabar! read more

A really great studio, always clean. Great instructors, especially Amy and Syd. A hard workout that made me sweat my booty off, and that's the point. I hope I will be able to make some more classes, or that there will be a studio near me someday in the Pasadena area! read more

Still continues to be great and actually, even BETTER than when I first started attending. Still can't believe I used to spend 2 hours at the gym and never got the results (not even close!) that I got doing these 40 minute classes. If you are still spending money on a gym , try this and you'll never go back! read more
