Club Pilates

"The classes are good when you can get into them. As others have mentioned, it's not the hardest workout. Haven't been able to use 2 of my 4 classes this month because the wait list is so long. They require a 30 day cancellation notice, so I'll be charged for another month of classes that I can't use."

"not disability friendly. even if you go to over 30 classes, great chance the instructor will not remember you. multiple times was called out in front of the class for doing the movement “wrong” (it was a modification given by another instructor). i told the instructor twice it was a modification, yet she multiple times in front of the whole class told me i was doing it wrong. she could’ve done this quietly, but she chose not to. why would i pay $230 a month for the instructor to not even remember the modifications i need? she also said “i think you and i have done one class together before, right?” when i had done at least 15 with her. that makes you feel really great about yourself, doesn’t it? isn’t the point of the membership so that you have an instructor there that can help you modify? would not recommend. peggy is the only instructor worth the money, but if you work a 9-5, good luck finding classes with someone nice. there is also no “community” feel when it feels like you are invisible to everyone. also make sure you cancel plenty of time in advance, as no matter the reason— even if you cannot find a single instructor that works for you— they WILL make you pay that last month. definitely not a good environment for anybody who has high anxiety. i joined because i wanted to do pilates for some injuries i had, but i think i will just take my money to my old yoga studio, where there is a group of women actively trying to create a supportive community for people of all abilities. it is nerve-wracking enough to ask for a modification, let alone have to repeat over and over again that you are simply doing what’s correct for your body. looking through the reviews, it seems like being called out/shamed for personal health issues is not an issue individual to me. wish i would’ve considered those reviews more before signing up for this membership. and now i have to pay another $230 for a month of pilates i will absolutely not go to because im not going to be shamed for not being able to move the way others can. i would really recommend going somewhere else if you have any health issues or injuries that might require extra attention. i used to work with dementia patients and there was an older woman who was obviously struggling with remembering the movements. an instructor was very snide with her and shamed her for not remembering saying “i already showed you that”, “i just said that”, etc. they do not understand people of all abilities deserve exercise and patience. I would especially not recommend your older family members or any people with memory issues come here. also, for $230 a month, you’d think the mats wouldn’t have hair all over them. but they sure do! the manager said she didn’t realize these things were problems when i brought them up, but the responsibility should fall on her to train her staff to be inclusive, not on customers paying a hefty sum to take the classes. why is there no training on inclusivity? obviously, these instructors behave this way because the management allows it."

"My wife and I have been a member to Club Pilates for years. The teachers, in most part, are great. The equipment has started to get a little worn but overall, we've had very positive experiences. You're going to do a good workout - but overall it's pretty tame and easy for exercise (vinyasa yoga way harder). The reason for three stars - price. I was planning on renewing my unlimited annual membership for 2024 until management told me my new price would be nearly $2400 which is about 38% higher than my wife and I paid for 2022. Isn't massive inflation supposed to be over? They used to have better Black Friday deals in the past - that's gone. Anyway, if you have and want to spend the money, Pilates helped my back pain and could help you. Be prepared for very strict scheduling policies in which you may lose a class or get fined if emergencies happen. It's pretty annoying but most often avoidable."

"I've been going to Club Pilates Belmar for almost a year! Great location, amazing staff. They care about you as a person and make you feel welcome the second you walk in. All the instructors are wonderful! They take the time to "teach" you. They also have a great sense of community, always giving back! Love CP!"
