Signing up for a reformer Pilates membership was one of the best decisions I ever made. It’s an investment in my physical and mental health, and I’m happy to say Pilates House has become my home away from home. Every instructor is INCREDIBLE. They are challenging, supportive, knowledgeable, and motivating. I can’t recommend this place enough.

So good. I workout daily and have tried various other classes (e.g., HIIT, Barre, etc.), but this was the first time I felt sore in a LONG time. I recommend checking this studio out, and shout out to Ania--my abs and biceps were sore for two days after your class! Loved it!

This morning was my first time doing Pilates and it was AMAZING!! I was nervous because I was solo but the atmosphere and energy made me very comfortable. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something new!

Updating this a few weeks after my last hot yoga class here: I attended what was supposed to be Allison’s class, but had a sub that day. The sub asked if anybody did not want to be touched, and I raised my hand. For the second time now, an instructor still approached and touched me after me requesting not to be touched, and it was while I was in downward dog (if you’re familiar with yoga, it’s a bit of a vulnerable position). I came with one of my friends that has really gotten into going to yoga classes here, and she even commented on it afterwards because she knows how I feel about being touched by people. This is the second time my boundaries have been disrespected here. I’ve tried once to book a different class without those two instructors but ultimately canceled because I didn’t want to have my day ruined. If you are like me and have a serious aversion to physical touch, I would not recommend going here for classes. I’m unsure if the instructors aren’t seeing me wave my hand or just forget who did or didn’t, but this needs to be addressed with some sort of system so that other people are not placed in this uncomfortable position repeatedly.Previous review: I recently had a less than ideal experience here (all other times have been good experiences), and after the owner, Penny, found out, she immediately contacted me to discuss what happened. It’s rare that a business owner is that involved/cares that much about client experiences. Although I have not returned to do another class, I’ve updated my review to 4 stars and will update again after attending another reformer class.I’m a travel nurse, and I have been looking for a pilates/yoga studio that best fits my needs. It’s evident that the owner genuinely cares about members and creating a safe space for them. Penny took the time to listen and was extremely professional about the entire situation. The facility is nice and well kept/clean. If you’re looking for yoga classes specifically, try Emily’s. I love them. Emily’s hot flow class, specifically, is great.Some things to note before you go:1) You will need grippy socks for reformer classes (they sell them for $15ish each at the front desk)2) You will need a mat and towel for any hot classes3) If you’re chronically late for things, this may not be a good fit as they don’t accept late entries and you will be locked out4) If you do not like being touched, speak to your instructor prior to class and inform them of that as sometimes they will correct your form.5) If you have an injury, speak to your instructor prior to class and they can give you modifications.6) If something is hurting or uncomfortable, speak up and let the instructors know.

Great classes, I enjoy going here a lot but a word of caution on the waitlist, FYI, I would not join the waitlist unless you are willing to show up for the class in person and wait to see if you get in. They have a VERY strict late class entry policy. I did talk to them about it and understand more, it is for good a reason, of starting on time and going over questions, injuries or consent for assist, and I totally respect that. I think that everyone should understand what to expect if you sign up for the waitlist. I was turned away for being 2 minutes late after I arrived when there was a super last minute cancellation 25 min. before class started, obviously that was really frustrating, so personally I just won’t sign up for the waitlist again.
