Club Pilates

"I have been a member of Club Pilates in Darien for about 9 months now and have overall enjoyed my time there. I do think there could be more classes available nights and weekends for us working clients! There is a lot of variation in instructors but that is to be expected and I have found my favorites. Unfortunately the cost of membership for me went up as 2024 began and I don't love that change as I am not sure I am benefitting as there are less class times available now than previously. I find some of their policies regarding classes unnecessarily strict to the point of taking advantage of paying responsible clients. As someone who has accepted losing a credit for missing a class that I took down the time wrong for or just was unable to cancel in time, I understand policy. I even make sure to adhere to the strict no lateness policy and am always early to class as to avoid wasting anyone's time. This past weekend I experienced an unfortunate situation where I had been on a waitlist for a class that began at 10AM on Sunday. I went to bed Saturday night and came off the waitlist in my sleep around 2AM. Unbeknownst to me, as I know thought I could sleep in, I didn't see that I was off this waitlist until shortly after the class began. I would not expect to be penalized for something happening in the middle of the night, so close to the beginning of class. To be penalized as a client losing a full class credit for this instance as it seems like a loop hole in a strict cancellation policy. Something to be aware of if you are interested as they are extremely strict and have no consideration in these situations."

"Decent choice for pilates but not a friendly atmosphere or a pretty studio by any means. Unfortunately some of the instructors can be condescending in class if you’re new and are doing something wrong or confused. They don’t care to ask if anyone is new at the beginning of the class or get to know anyone’s names. I found Stephanie to be very helpful and kind, while Heather was indifferent and condescending."

"I recently joined Club Pilates, and so far, I'm enjoying it. Everyone is friendly and the place is clean. Unfortunately, it has been challenging to find classes. At first, I thought you could simply show up and enroll in a class, but the scheduling aspect requires a lot of preparation. The fact that only Caucasian families are depicted in the wall art further supports my belief that there is a lack of inclusion. Although I see that they have non-Caucasian clients and instructors, there are no colored families present."

"I have been a member of Club Pilates Darien for over a year. I couldn't wait for it to reopen June 20th and have been going 3x/week since then. It is a relaxing, safe environment and the instructors are all great. Since starting pilates on a reformer, my back issues have been much reduced and I can see changes in my body. I'd highly recommend taking classes here."

"I've been a member at Club Pilates Darien for 2.5 years now and love it! I love how they allow you to take as many classes as you like per day, unlike a lot of other studios that only allow you to just take one class per day. That's a deciding factor for me. All of the instructors are awesome and super supportive. I highly recommend joining the studio!"
