I have now been working out at Wundabar for 13 months & felt a review was well overdue. About a month before I took my first Wundabar class, I started working out for the first time in my life. I tried many different workouts during that month that I wasn't a fan of (yoga, spining, working one-on-one with a trainer, etc). Friends who led active lifestyles encouraged me by telling me when I found the workout for me, I'd know it instantly. Enter my first Wundarbar class - I knew I loved it immediately. That first 50 minutes was a true battle with myself, but the pride that I felt walking out at the end was indescribable. It was a very tough class & I remember looking at the other women in the room thinking they all had the body of Jessica Alba! It was super intimidating, but I stuck it through. In the year or so that I have been taking classes at Wundabar (4 times a week) I have lost 35 pounds. I went from a size 7 to a size 1. Wundabar has been an invaluable tool helping to changing my lifestyle (not the only tool, mind you, but a key part). The instructors are all sweet and supportive in their own ways (they all have individual styles & of course I have my favorites) but are all amazing. To me, this is one of the most important aspects of a workout - I have taken some classes where it feels like the instructors are threatening and bullying you & that's not the way I work. With me, you'll catch more bees with honey than with vinegar. I will say that I was a bit disappointed when the class length was decreased from 50 minutes to 45 minutes. It may not sound like a big difference, but that's 20 minutes per week that my workout has gone down & the price stayed the same, which is a bummer. I felt like the cost should have gone down in relation to the time lost. At the end of the day, it's not going to make me stop going, but I felt like it should be mentioned. Thank you, Wundabar! read more

OMG! I love, love, love this place! My first time trying pilates was on Sunday and it kicked major booty (still reeling from the kick). A little on the expensive side - $99/month, 2 sessions every week. I only had an experience with one instructor (oops, forgot her name), but she was very knowledgeable, friendly, and explained the reformer machine thoroughly. So, despite the high rate, I decided to sign up for the monthly classes and I couldn't be much happier.. read more

I love this place! Every instructor is amazing and attentive to each individual. I was worried about falling behind because I wasn't able to do everything, but they would modify certain things I'm not great at so I'm still getting a workout. Because of this, I'm becoming stronger and I have become addicted to Pilates. I strongly recommend this place. I saw a review for Jessica, and if you're wondering which Jessica, it doesn't matter- they are both awesome! And if you want a great start to the weekend, class with Simmin is the way to go! read more

ClassPass Review - WundaBar Workout The workout wasn't as hard as I'd like it to be. I'm 6 feet tall so I feel like the machine was a little small for me. I felt like I had to hunch over the entire workout just to stay on the machine. Maybe there's a way to adjust the machine (I'm sure there is). I'll try and figure it out the next time. I'm definitely going to give it another try. Parking is on Green St. read more

I started doing WundaBar about 2 months ago and I just can't get enough!! I tried out a couple other Pilates reformer studios and they just weren't giving me the right feel I was looking for. WundaBar will kick your butt without you even knowing it... the classes can range. I have been taking the 6am morning classes before I head to work and they are intense and amazing! The instructors work so well with you to correct your form and help you understand exactly what muscles you're working with each exercise you do! I saw below that someone complained about how fast moving the exercises can be at times but truthfully I've found they're the perfect range that won't get you too sore but gives you enough burn to work out each individual muscles. Yes, the classes can range in what exercises and muscles you actually work out each class but I take it 3 times a week and can see my entire body starting to take form in all different areas! As for the "small" classes, I find that 10 ppl is a great amount considering you only have 1 instructor trying to teach 10 ppl. I took two other pilates reformer studio classes and they were no more than 4-5 ppl a class so 10 to me seemed like a lot! The schedules are pretty easy to sign up for and yes, sometimes they'll fill up for your desired class but just waitlist yourself or watch the class all week b/c most of the time someone drops out b/c something comes etc. I do the WundaBar Pro package which is the $199 a month (Auto-Pay) and though it does seem like a lot of money.... I'm learning that if you truly find a form of exercise you love and can stick with, it's worth every penny! The fact I get my butt up at 5am to go to my 6am work out and I am not a morning person proves so much to not only myself but my husband as well that this is something I truly enjoy doing! All the instructors are amazing and I've tried about 6 different ones with no complaints! The 6am ones are so positive and upbeat for how early it is and they make you feel the burn and you leave their class with great energy and attitude! I have yet to try some of the more intense weekend classes but once I build up my muscles and strength a little more, I will definitely attempt them! I recommend WundaBar to all my friends! :) Thanks again WundaBar! read more

The instructors here are great! Thorough in their explanation of the moves and positions. I work out regularly but am new to pilates and can say these workouts are effective! I feel it in the little muscles the next day. I love that i feel taller and stronger after each class. The machines are easy to adjust and the studio is always clean. read more

Signed up through class pass. Overall, the class was not as intense as I would like it to be. If you want a more challenging class, this studio may not be for you. I appreciate the amount of passion the instructor showed. You could tell she really wanted you to understand the movement and make sure your form is correct. Street parking is a bit of an hassle if you go during rush hours. read more

I came to Pilates Plus Pasadena for my first pilates class ever and I had an awesome time. My friend recommended that I try out pilates because I occasionally do yoga and she told me that it was similar but, more rigorous. Your first class is free so I signed up for the Pilates Plus Technique (40 minutes) and my instructor was Dorene. I really enjoyed the entire session...I think it's a nice change if you're used to being at the gym or taking kickboxing classes. It's definitely not as fast paced but, just cause it isn't intense cardio doesn't mean you're not getting a good workout. Dorene was extremely helpful and gave me a brief overview of the machine and I found it to be really nice that she gave me a lot of hands on tips as we were going through the class. Because each class is only about 9 people, the instructors are really able to focus on each student. The studio is small but, it's tidy and they played pretty good music throughout your workout. I would recommend Pilates Plus Technique to any beginner because this class specifically focuses on good form which, is the best way to start any workout. If you do yoga or weight lifting on a regular basis though, I think you can be comfortable in regular a Pilates Full Body class without as much emphasis as the one with technique and I'm sure it's a tougher workout. I'm definitely considering more sessions! read more

I enjoy the Pasadena location. The instructors are professional and I especially like it when I get immediate and direct feedback. As a Wundabar regular for a year, I can confidently say that the cues and movements unique to Wundabar makes it stand apart from other Pilates. I have tried different brands, locally and in San Diego and they do not compare to the rigor that Wundabar presents. In the mornings before I fill up my tummy with food, I noticed I can see definition in my abs, particularly the obliques, and my husband has also commented. I would not have believed it was possible if I didn't experience it myself. Thank you Wundabar! read more

I've been coming here for about a month and a half now and I can't express how much I love the workouts. I'm one to get bored quite easily and an not a "gym goer" by any means. The workouts are intense, but you don't really feel it till the next day because they're focused on slow and steady movements. I would recommend Pilates Plus to anyone that asks. All of the instructors are great at helping you correct your form to avoid injury, so it's perfect for those just beginning as well as those who are pilates pros. I also love that you get an entire body workout in about 40 minutes. That's less time you'd spend driving to the gym, finding parking, finding a machine available and the bonus of not having to deal with the hustle and bustle of a noisy gym. The instructors are fantastic, the music is great and the intimate 10 person sessions are perfect so that the instructors can focus on everyone in the class. The best part is that you can purchase classes and reserve your classes all online. No having to deal with someone trying to "up-sell" you a different package. You might think it's a lot to fork out a month, but if you ever had a consultation with any other pilates studio, you'd find what a deal this is. So get out of your chair and go try give them a shot ... after all, your first class is free! Can't make up any excuses now, can you?? read more

Had my first class tonight. First is free, and I bought a deal on Groupon with a girlfriend. Was super happy with my instructor (Nikki?). She was very friendly and accommodating of the fact that we were both newbs, to the studio and to Pilates. The machines are great, the atmosphere is good. Clean, small, but well lit, and good music. Wasn't too loud or too quiet. Could hear it and the instructor perfectly. She let is go at our own pace but kept everything flowing so we were all engaged. Classes fill up, so register early. And bring water, you'll need it after. You won't be sweating or panting like a pig, but I'm pretty sure I'll feel it in the morning. It's a small studio with no frills so if you're looking for something more, it might not be for you. But I loved it and am glad I got the Groupon. Will definitely be going back. read more

Wanna get in shape, tone up, and get stronger? WundaBar is the place for you. I do a mix of low intensity workouts like Bar Method and yoga but WundaBar has a way to strengthen my core faster and more effective than the other two. The workouts are 45 minutes each and their pilates machines are designed with a jump board, barre, and chair in addition to the typical carriage, loops, and foot bar that other pilates studios' machines have. Each class is different and will focus on different parts of your body. Each instructor is different too. Carrie is my favorite. She's very sweet and kind. Helene's class will kick your ass. She scares me a bit. You work barefoot or with grippy socks. You wipe down the machines after each use. There's only one bathroom. They charge $1 for water so bring your own. You may want to bring your own towel too if you sweat a lot. Street parking only. Overall, I really like this place, but minus one star for being very expensive and for the strict and steep cancellation policy. You need to cancel at least 12 hours in advance to avoid any sort of penalties and the no-show fee is $25...yikes! read more

My first full experience in Pilates at Wundarbar was a hit because I kept coming back. I got their beginner pass of 5 class/ $45 and I gotta say, I'm gonna keep coming back. My first 2 class was a hit and miss kinda class. I admit, I might of been sore from it being that it was my first class but the 2nd class, I didn't feel any soreness. I was bit disappointed and so I decided to book another instructor. I had the pleasure of being in Simmin Yu class and Omg, I go home feeling refreshed every single time. Now that my pass was about to end, thanks to Dani, (i assume this person works at HQ or office somewhere), I was able to extend my last 5 out of 5 pass to be in her class. I love that kind of customer service. I highly recommend this place for your Pilates needs. Everyone that works there has made Wundarbar a pleasant place to be. read more

Having never done Pilates prior, I am a total convert! LOVE this class! I take their Prenatal Pilates (pelvic floor conditioning) class twice a week - best workout ever! My only complaint is that I only wish they offered this class more times a week! Highly recommend! read more

I've been coming to Wundabar regularly for over a year now. I'm almost 40 and have been physically active all of my life, but thanks to Wundabar, I'm in better shape now than I was in high school. (I used to wear a 6/8. Now I'm a 0/2!) I am much stronger, my clothes fit great, and I now have a leaner figure. All of this has boosted my self-confidence through the roof. I honestly look forward to my workouts here! I am not a morning person (at all) but I love Wundabar so much that I get up early and head to Pasadena for their 6:00 a.m. classes. Karen, Rendel, and Femmie are my favorite teachers; their classes are challenging, they cater to different levels by offering options to make exercises harder/easier, their cues help you use the proper form and get more out of each exercise, they keep you motivated throughout the class, and they're just super nice people! (Tip: If you have any injuries/sore parts you're recovering from, let your instructors know before class and they'll do a great job of giving you modifications to keep you safe.) The studio is well maintained & has a good vibe. Plus, I receive great customer service here. Rendel is always quick to respond to emails and to assist with anything I've needed help with. If you're new to Pilates, I'd recommend starting with private lessons or Wunda School so that you can learn good form - proper technique is so important to get the most out of this workout. It's not the typical gym mindset of doing "3 sets of 15 reps." Instead it's more like doing only 15 reps, but with perfect form. With the help of these machines, you'll work out muscles that traditional gym machines just can't get to effectively. And since Pilates works out smaller muscle groups, in addition to larger muscle groups, you get strong and toned without getting bulky. I've worked out in gyms all my life, but now I've got long, lean muscles thanks to Wundabar. I can't say enough good things about this studio! At first I thought the cost was a bit out of my price range. But now that I see and feel the benefits of this workout, I look at it as a smart investment for my health and self-confidence. It's totally worth it and I highly recommend Wundabar!!! read more

I needed a workout to compliment running so started doing Pilates here 3.5 years ago and haven't looked back. Helped with my back and knee problems and kept me running injury free. Not a daunting reformer class, the instructor will make you feel comfortable on the machine, I promise. Also incredible 5-person prenatal classes if your schedule allows it. Actually a workout for those who want to stay fit during pregnancy. I came up to my due date. read more

Took a free class during my visit to California a few weeks back with Kristi. I've practiced mat pilates and reformer pilates for the past few years. Recently I've tried SPX fitness and think it's a great full body work out. Kristi is great and very encouraging! I will definitely become a member when I move back to California in a few months. Try the free class and I guarantee that you will want to continue practicing! read more

Tried out pilates for the first time this weekend. It seemed more like a stretching class so afterwards I was more relaxed than anything....I didn't have that "worked out" feeling. However the next morning I felt as if I had done hundreds of abs exercises the night before.....seriously aching. I can't wait to go back for more! Our instructor was Jenny. She was very positive and attentive. She had her "before and after" jeans on the wall for us to see. The only reason they did not get 5 stars is because I'm assuming that street parking is hard during the week. If I try it during the week and find that it's not the case then I will change my rating to a 5. read more

FREE FIRST COMERS CLASS! People that is a FREE pilates class, the staff has bent over backwards to accomodate my reservation needs, they are very knowledgeable and sweet. The studio is CLEAN, doesn't smell like a gym, there's a bathroom on site, and our instructor Carrie took the time to go one-on-one with all 10 people in the class. That is service! The $99 special is a great value too! Lots of street parking, weekends & holidays are free at some Pasadena meters. read more

Sooo...I bought a Groupon and due to an unforeseen event I was unable to use 2 of my remaining classes. I emailed and asked management if they could accommodate me by allowing me to take my last 2 classes and they did not. The teachers are great and why I'm giving 3 stars, but parking is horrible and I will never buy a Groupon for this place again. In fact, I won't be coming back to this studio. Pilates studios are a dime a dozen and this is not the one. read more

I've taken classes here for nearly a year off and on. I decided to take advantage of their first free class and gave it a try. At the time, I didn't like working out and I wanted to try something new. I gave up half way into the class and the instructor at the time, Stacey, was so encouraging. I was so unfit and I was having trouble. My heart rate was beating so rapidly and I almost walked out ashamed of myself. Thanks to that instructor, I've been doing this for nearly a year. Thank you so much for being supportive and understanding. Even today, there are some classes that can be too much for me but that's OK. You do what you can and most instructors encourage that. What I like about some of the instructors is that they give you options. There are aggressive and less aggressive ways. The most important thing is to listen to your body. If its too much, hold back or rest or do a less aggressive form. No one is judging you. Sometime it's a little hard to follow the instructors. Most instructors will jump on the machine if there is one available to show you how to do it. They'll show you on the floor. Try to look at people around you and follow their lead. Technique classes are great for beginners since the instructor takes the time to show each movement. Even in the regular classes, the instructor will walk around the class to correct your forms and they'll talk to you before/after classes to give you some pointers. Pilates Plus is more than Pilates. It incorporates cardio, strength training, and Pilates. If you're not use to the machines, they can be scary. Do what your body can handle. If you don't feel comfortable, use the pole. The pole helps stabilize you. Always take the time to be conscientious of your surrounding and you'll be fine. 1-2 Hours Free Parking is available on Green Street. There are some $1 meter parking on Lake Ave. I recommend that you arrive 5-10 minutes before class to ensure that you get a parking space since most classes end 5 minutes right before the next and most of the parking spots will be taken up pretty fast. Tip: Come to Pilates Plus with an open mind & a positive attitude. You will love it. Classes do fill up fast but people cancel last minute sometimes and plan ahead. I would love for them to have more classes on weekends to accommodate people's schedule. read more

Absolutely the best workout ever! I started at the beginning of February and I have already lost 11 lbs. jessie stiles has been the most amazing teacher and I can't wait to try out the others! If ur nervous ...DONT BE! They make u feel so comfortable and it is so fun! You will feel great and will be hooked! read more

I took my first class last Friday and really loved it! I was quickly oriented with the machinery/equipment and Isabella is a very helpful and approachable instructor. I liked that Isabella explained and did the exercises with the class, rather than just give verbal instruction and watch. This was very helpful for a first timer like myself, and she also assisted with changing the hooks/springs, which I was unfamiliar with. She was kind enough to turn off her mic while adjusting me for corrections so it wasn't embarrassing, as it had been for me in other classes (what can I say, I embarrass easily). By the end of the class, I was definitely worked out. You don't think these low-impact classes will get you, but they do. 2 days later, I'm still feeling sore muscles in places I didn't know I had. I only wish these classes were cheaper (-1 star for the price!). At ~$20 a class, I'm going to have to cut out my month's worth of boba binges. read more

Facilities is clean and well appointed, there's no shower room on site, just a bathroom. Classes are taught by well trained instructor and they all look so fit and toned, that keeps me going becuz I wanna look like them. First class is free, so there no harm in trying this out if your curious about pilates. For those new to pilates, it's more resistance training using a machine and various moves perform on the machine. The result are long lean muscles and allover toning in a short amount of time. Only gripe I have is their cancellation policy. I don't think it's right to have to pay an additional fee on top of my monthly dues, since I paid for the class thru my monthly dues already. Shit happens in life, so if something happens within the 24 hr before the class I should be able to late cancel without double paying. One star off because of this policy. read more

I've done Pilates mat exercises in the past but Pilates Plus was a whole new experience. First off, if you're new to Pilates all together, you might want to try one or two private lessons first. The classes go by extremely fast and if you don't know what you're doing or how your body is suppose to be positioned; you'll be lost. Their website is every useful in planning your classes and finding which time works for you. They only offer 3 or 4 different types of classes and I was reluctant to sign up based on this but every instructor and class is different; despite the class type being the same (e.g. Pilates Full Body). Only downside is figuring out which instructor works well with you. If you didn't like that one instructor, you wasted money and time on that class; and you only get so many classes in a package. Packages are a bit expensive but classes are intimate and you will get personal attention from the instructor if you're not doing something right. read more

I've been going to Pilates Plus Pasadena for two months and I've quickly become a fan of the exercises provided at the studio. I was apprehensive to begin but soon realized how beneficial it was to toning and sculpting my body. I decided to try pilates to tone my body and after only two months, I'm already noticing changes in my arms, legs and stomach area. I really enjoy the atmosphere during classes. The tone of voice by instructors I've tried is never harsh or critical. It's always just enough to keep us going and pushing ourselves a little more than we think is possible. I began with the Technique class with Cate and it helped to get accustomed to using the machine and feeling comfortable with my body. I really like that this studio incorporates more than just pilates into the exercises. It's good to know after a class that I not only worked on toning my muscles but also squeezed some cardio in there. I don't have a lot of time to hit the gym, not to mention it's always crowded so it's great to be able to get home from driving in traffic and head straight to Pilates Plus Pasadena and not deal with waiting for a machine or sweaty men everywhere. My favorite class for a great combo of pilates and cardio is Nikki. She does a great job of keeping my heart rate up while not pushing us to the point of wanting to give up. Cate does a great job of "pulsing" and making me realize just how powerful those small movements can be! All in all, continuously great experiences and I'm extremely pleased with the results so far. read more

Only downside is street parking. In the morning like 6am, not a problem. But after work class or weekends, it could be tricky if you want near around the entrance. If you are not picky, not a problem. Tons around buildings near. Instructors are great and each session, I feel different body parts being trained read more

I checked this space out last week. The machines are really nice and the instructor was very attentive in teaching me how to adjust each machine for the exercises. I think the class itself was good but I have a special preferences for pilates studios to have a quieter, more community feel. The studio is located right on a big street and parking was a little confusing at the beginning. So to wrap it up, good solid instruction with great machines. But if you're an introvert like me who likes a smaller, more intimate feel, you might want to do a little more scouting. read more

Ive been here a couple times, and its really a hit or miss.... a solid 3.5/5. The facility itself is very bright and clean. The wundaformers are a little close to each other, but its very adaptable. The classes themselves are harder than a classic reformer machine, but way easier than a megaformer workout.... but sometimes you need something in between. That being said, the instructors are hit or miss. I have had some classes were I didnt feel like there was much of a challenge, and some where pretty awesome ones. There was one class where the instructor was "trying out" new moves, and the entire workout was disjointed and there were no good transitions. If you are using Classpass, make sure to book the classes during the primetime hours because those have the best instructors! (but are also hardest to book). Parking is a pain. I just end up parking at Trader Joes and walking so that I dont get ticketed. read more

I love pilates plus! During my first year of law school I wasn't working out AT ALL. It was mainly due to time constraints and the fact that running and the gym bored me out of my mind. But my sister told me to try pilates plus and bar method. I tried bar method and wasn't a fan of not being able to walk for days. Pilates Plus was MUCH MUCH BETTER. The classes are only 40 minutes so its great for a quick and efficient workout. AND you notice results very quickly. Every movement is deliberate and the instructors make the 40 minutes worth your while. My favorite instructor is Rendel. I only take her classes. Every workout is different and fun with her. She is VERY detailed with her explanations about how to do the poses and exercises so good for beginners. Overall, if you're like me and you get bored quickly at the gym and don't have too much time pilates plus is great! read more

Love LOVE Love Wundabar! The workouts are fantastic! I've been going for about 4 months and have experienced better fitness, better posture, greater flexibility, and more confidence in my body language. Definitely take classes with different instructors to figure out whose style and pace you like the best. The machines/equipment are not intimidating, and are definite butt-kickers (I have a love/hate relationship with Therabands). Take advantage of the free first class, but don't be discouraged if you're totally sore the next day, can't finish all the reps, or are not wearing the requisite number of Lululemon items. Give it a few more classes to get more comfortable and you'll start to feel results. The atmosphere during class is great - the smaller class size means I get instruction and assistance when I need it, but not in my face. I choose my pace and my level of interaction. I'm pushed but not screamed at. I'm never made to feel bad about my level of fitness or my body shape/size. My biggest compliments though are for customer service! These ladies really aim to HELP you as a customer - not just take your money and hope you forget about going to class. This is not your local big-box gym. Email is best. Definitely plan ahead for booking classes - they get booked pretty quickly. And last, but not least: When Helene or Rendel or Cassidy say "you're supposed to be shaking!!!" during a lunge or an ab hold, they really mean it. Everyone else in the class is shaking like a leaf, too. It passes quickly, but the long-term results are totally worth it. read more

Great group fitness class. The reformer Pilates allows all ages and skill levels to go at their own pace. You can challenge yourself or lighten up the work that day. It works muscle groups you may otherwise not know existed. The WundaBar machine is one of the best! read more

WundaBar is an awesome pilates studio! I unfortunately cannot afford to go all the time (I wish), but I always jump on the great holiday deals they have. I initially started by booking a private class about three years ago (highly recommend) to familiarize myself with what WundaBar was all about. I had my session with Heather and she was so incredibly helpful with guiding me through proper form and how to utilize the Wunda Former. Throughout the years, I've taken classes sporadically. I find some of the movements difficult to do, but I'm sure that's what happens when you don't do yoga or pilates regularly. Every single instructor is so amazing! They are all very nice and motivating. I like having WundaBar to mix things up a bit in my work out routines. I throughly enjoy coming to this studio. =) read more

I do really love this place. The instructors so far have been so friendly and so encouraging. Lovely ppl. They've worked with my limitations offering up alternate/modified moves. The studio is clean and easy to find right off of Green street. I usually park in the free structure two blocks away and walk but there's paid parking on Lake street or u can attempt to find parking off of Lake on the side streets. I'm by no means an athlete but the workout itself I find a little bit on the moderate side. Not super challenging. I'm not sore afterwards like I have been in other reformer classes. Plus it's only 45 minutes so I do wish it was a little tougher. The jump board portion is really fun. I feel it next day a lot tho if you're new it can be really easy to hurt ur back while ur still getting used to it so please be careful. read more

This is my favorite work-out! I am in the best shape I've been in years, and due to my work schedule I am only able to attend classes once to twice a week. I've been taking classes here since it opened and yet I am constantly amazed at how many new exercises there are, each work out is so varied from the last. I will never go the gym again, I'm hooked! read more

Two years ago as I write this I started at WundaBar Pasadena. I needed to transform my body and heal from injuries. The instructors and clientele are like family to me. Easy parking early in the morning and I couldn't be happier with my lean fit body at 53! I'm hooked. The autopay 12 sessions a month package keeps me consistent and is a great deal! read more

I so wanted to like this place! So I signed up for my free session with a friend and we arrived 10 minutes early, as directed. There is no front desk person and we are rushed through 2 minutes on the machine with the instructor. There was no check in and we barely even got instruction on how to use the machine as the previous class was running late. Someone shows up 12 minutes late and apparently I had signed up for the wrong class (totally my fault) and I was removed from the machine because if someone is 5-10 minutes late they are allowed in. The client was over 10 minutes late, which my friend pointed out, and the instructor indicated that she was too busy to deal with this as she was also teaching and the other lady was a current client. I have never seen such a disorganized mess- and all this for $199 a month? I don't think so. Frankly this is just not good enough at a $5 Pilates session, let alone a studio catering to the socio-economic background of the kind of clientele who can afford this price point. I can't imagine how any new client would even consider this place. I am willing to pay monthly for a good fitness and workout experience but not to be treated so disrespectfully and to have things be so disorganized. It is basically Pilates with a reformer, there is a lot of competition in Pasadena for a similar type of program, go somewhere that actually respects new clients, keeps things running on time, and has a receptionist! read more

I feel obligated to share my much more realistic (IMO) view of what goes on here. Some teachers/classes are great, some are not. My experience was about 50-50. The late cancel fee and policy are merely a profit center. If four people a day late cancel (and let's face it, that's likely) that's about $3K a month extra money for the studio. So why would they change it? As another reviewer pointed out, EVEN IF YOUR SPACE IS FILLED, YOU STILL PAY THE $25 FEE. If you are someone who can attend class at any time of the day or night, and/or if your schedule never changes, then this setup might work for you. However, if you have a dynamic schedule and heaven forbid might not know 24 hours in advance that you can't make it to a class, be careful. read more

I have been to WundaBar Pasadena a couple times prior, but decided to go back again via my Classpass. My opinion of the class has not changed. The instructors are phenomenal - great energy and passion for teaching. However, the skill level is definitely beginners. I have been practicing Pilates for over 3 years and have had super tough classes and super easy classes. WundarBar's classes are definitely very, very easy. It isn't at all like the intense workout that is marketed. Even with squeezing in extra seconds in between transitions could I not break a sweat nor increase my heart rate. So much time was spent standing around listening to explanations. I would suggest WundaBar offer different levels of difficulty so that more seasoned Pilates individuals can get a better workout. read more

Nice place, with attentive helpful instructors. Hard to find if you don't know it's in the Prado building. Good workout too.
