But as time went on I started going 4 days a week. I learned to love the workouts and my new gym family, and I mean family. We support each other through all the workouts. Rotha and her team of trainers are awesome! They offer modifications for all moves. You never have to feel like you have to keep up with the ones that have been doing it for awhile. RC Health is a small gym but it is a mighty one for sure. You will not be disappointed; sore maybe but never disappointed. I highly recommend this gym! TBW

How they keep coming up with variations is a mystery but the instructors keep it interesting. Toni, Stephanie, and Angela are so knowledgeable! Toni is a hoot - "the Italian Man" and "Magic Triceps" are just two examples of her favorites. They are all very professional and kind. Club Pilates Woodlake is one of my happy places. Warm, welcoming, fun, and you feel so good after working hard.

The space is always bright, welcoming, and full of positive energy--it truly makes me want to work out. RJ and Micaleb (forgive me if I'm misspelling her name) were fantastic. They acknowledged me right away with genuine, bright smiles, which immediately set the tone for a great class. Their warmth and professionalism really stands out and makes such a difference, especially after a long day. It was also wonderful to see that the manager , RJ is still so excited and passionate about the studio. His energy is contagious, and he is truly a delight. And I have to give a special shout-out to the instructor, Rasnaim. He made the class extra special with a challenging workout, and he somehow makes it fun at the same time. You leave feeling accomplished, stronger, and energized. The classes always leave me feeling more balanced and refreshed--both physically and mentally. Club Pilates has created an environment that is motivating, supportive, and uplifting. Highly recommend!

Her studio, and her customized classes, are terrific, not only is the studio exceptionally designed, and pleasant, but the fact we have such a great collection of instructors right here in Powhatan, very lucky.

I did not have to worry about anything. Even my child was able to finally relax and join in on this meditation. It was such a calming and filling experience. Upon conclusion of the sound concert, she discussed and provided time forward sharing how we felt about the meditation. It was a safe space to share and to be able to better understand the journey that has been taken. I would love to experience this in person when I feel it is safe enough to do so. I also want to visit the shop to see what they offer. I first experienced this via a Yelp Elite Event that was virtual, also. I'm grateful that there is a virtual option for self cate in this manner. It is not the same as in person, but it is better than nothing.

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.

Plus there is ample parking at the studio, again something you don't get downtown. The locker room was very much appreciated so I could actually be seen in public after sweating so much.

That is exactly what I got and I can't wait for another!

Thank you Caroline, Kira, Megan and Stephanie for providing such great space and flow!
