Club Pilates,

8210 S Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34238, United States

"I visited this studio 2x while in the area recently. I have not been in a CLUB PILATES before but have practiced in independently owned Pilates studios for several years. I know the classic series on Reformer, Cadillac/wall unit and am familiar with Classic Pilates principles (Joesph Pilates original work). I much enjoyed my time in Club Pilates and felt "worked out" following class. Instruction was clear and motivating (5 star). However, I was surprised they don't follow Classic Pilates series and don't utilize some moves at all due to safety concerns. I was asked to not do moves I practice regularly including short spine and long spine and it was implied there are more movements they consider dangerous and don't teach. In a nutshell, GREAT fitness option but this is not classic Pilates (hence the star deduction). I personally would call it Pilates inspired fitness simply because of the studio design, which is AMAZING (each student has a personal practice area with a reformer, chair, wall unit and other basic equipment). FYI, I'm 60, practice Pilates at least 3x/week and weightlift 3x/week. If CLUB PILATES gets you off the couch, DO IT! Whatever keeps you mobile and moving as this is what your body was designed for!!!"

"I love this studio. Everyone is super friendly. Every instructor is knowledgeable and attentive to each class member. They assist us in performing exercises correctly and push us to challenge ourselves why still respecting our individual abilities and limitations. Modifications are always provided as needed. Each class is always different and each instructor has their own unique style. I try to take classes with many different instructors to challenge myself. No class is ever the same. This is my first experience with Pilates and I look forward to attending. I have set a goal to go 6 days a week and I have managed to achieve this goal for the last three weeks! Thank you to all the great instructors and front desk personnel. I appreciate all of you. I am sorry one of the reviewers did not have a good experience with Diana. I enjoy her classes and her style as I do all of them."
