But went with a friend a few months ago and glad I did. Now I'm a semi-regular. Friendly instructors show you the ropes on the Megaformer and there's usually a couple men in the classes. So uncoordinated dudes like me who regularly forget which foot is left vs right don't feel out of place! I'm very much a beginner to Lagree and I'm pretty sure I'm doing it wrong half the time.

That said, the smaller class size allows for more hands-on instruction and makes the experience very beginner-friendly. I do think the experience depends heavily on the instructor. Some are amazing, while others don't push me as much to reach that endpoint of shaking and next-day soreness. I always felt challenged and sore after Christina's classes--she was definitely my favorite.

If you are serious about losing weight and getting in shape, this is the place and program to be…read more Three of my co-workers and I were discussing getting in shape over lunch one day, and one set a challenge. Let's find a program that fits our schedule and really works. We researched the fitness programs in the Peninsula and South Bay area. Based on a recommendation, we signed up for the Pilates Cardiocamp. The class is weekday mornings in Los Altos. Best thing we ever did. The Pilates Cardiocamp is not just focused on Pilates but works on a whole fitness regimen that also incorporate bootcamp exercise drills to increase clients cardio endurance helping them loose weight, increase their energy, and maintain and healthy heart. Bootcamp classes have swept the nation offering intensive exercise drills to help you tone and lose the inches. Now these same drills are combined with the Pilates method bringing together the most talk about exercise experience since jazzercise. This program provides it ALL core training, cardio and strength- training exercises to help you lose weight, increase muscle tone, endurance and have fun! It is for all levels of fitness. So, we showed up and met Michelle Melendez who is the lead trainer and owner of Pilates Cardiocamp. Wow, it was exhilarating as she pushed us to our limits. Our day included a 20-25 minute Pilates routine working from beginner exercises to more advanced moves. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we went through a 20-30 minute cardio drill around beautiful paths, up hills and through redwood trees. Tuesday and Thursday alternates with intense strength training exercises. This program offers core training, cardio drills, strength training, daily stretching, push-ups, and more. The pace is very doable. There is fun in working out with these motivated people and great support. We stuck through the class for its duration. It has resulted in getting in much better shape, a gain of new energy and an overall much better feeling. Pilates Cardiocamp combines Pilates with some traditional exercises. If you are serious about getting in shape in a program you can stick with, I highly recommend Pilates Cardiocamp.

I've had the pleasure of taking Nicole's classes and she's an amazing instructor. I appreciate how she takes the time to learn everyone's name. She always offers modifications during exercises and gives good feedback.

Good Pilates instructors, But Watch Your Wallet! The…read moreteachers are great, but the billing practices are wrong. Auto-Renewal: Every monthly class(4 or 8 classes) forces you into an auto-renewal subscription buried in checkout, with no clear one-time option. No Renewal Notice: They send emails for feedback but none before charging your card again. Difficult Cancellation: You can't cancel online. My email request was ignored, and I ultimately had to cancel in person. Wonderful instructors, but the studio ruins the experience with deceptive billing. If you buy a pass, assume it will auto-renew until you cancel through multiple channels. Rating: 5/5 for instructors, 0/5 for financial transparency and billing service.

I walked in for a pilates mat class and walked out with a free one-OH YAH! I arrived a bit early to check out the digs. Bridget was kind enough to give me a tour and inspire me to work hard! Nice industrial space that caters to working off some steam! On the left is the studio for group classes, and on the right is the equipment/reformer room. They must have had like 8 or so machines. It was cool and I assume great for personal training. After my "tour," Bridget set up me up right in front. "Up here" I asked? She smiled, handed me the equipment I needed and wished me good luck. I remember lying nervously awaiting the arrival of the instructor. What was I going to have to do...AND in front of the class...? Wowza! Enter Jocelyn S., whose simple stature and being was very deceiving. She was strong, flexible, and very easy to listen to. I liked the sound of her voice, and she made me feel very comfortable and strong all at the same time. Thanks to Mercy B...I was ready for this class. I loved it, and can see how I will be challenged. Definitely a good core workout and I can't wait to explore options. It's convenient, parking is easy, studio is clean, and staff is great. I am excited. I like that they help you with breathing, posture, strength, and flexibility. Sign me up for a package...core strength here I come!
