Bolder Pilates

I love this studio! I’ve taken both classes and workshops from their teachers, and I always enjoy my experience!I have been practicing and teaching Pilates for a long time, and I fully trust and highly recommend Bolder Pilates to anyone! The studio is warm and inviting, and provides such a great community!

Bolder Pilates is my go to pilates studio here in Boulder. The instructors are all amazing along with the people who take the classes.....some who I now call good friends.

My husband and I were customers of this place for about two years. The instruction was good, but we ended up leaving because the environment felt toxic. The feeling we got from the women who worked there, as well as some of the other patrons, was of a sort of sorority atmosphere. If you don’t fit into the sorority, it’s a rough place to be. There were several instances where my wife felt like she was being judged by the employees and in some cases, by the other customers who were “in” with the instructors. The atmosphere didn’t feel welcoming and we would not recommend this place for Pilates instruction. There are better studios to choose from where it doesn’t feel like a popularity contest.

I was a customer of this place for about two years. The Pilates instruction was fine, but the tone of the studio was pretty dysfunctional. I’ve lived in the Boulder area for decades and am a former teacher in Boulder Valley Schools for 25 years. The attitudes of the instructors made it seem like a club where some don’t feel welcome. The overall feeling is that it’s sort of a private studio for select customers, and because of this I was actually excited to switch to Zoom lessons when the pandemic hit. There was also major turnover in instructors while I was there and so I was always working with a new teacher. I know there are many Pilates studios in town and I would try a different one because the tone here is not desirable.

All of the staff at Bolder Pilates are extremely knowledgable on the human body, are kind, caring and compassionate. This studio offers so much more than Pilates. It is rehabilitative, the community is so welcoming, and they truly make a difference in the lives of their clients. Seriously love this place!!! Plus- they're a small, local, woman owned business!

I started going to Bolder Pilates with the notion that Pilates could help my sciatica from acting up, let alone knocking me to the floor, and it is true (two years w no flair ups).What I found, though, was something far more valuable, a team of kind, caring, and empathetic professionals who are passionate in their conviction and tireless in their effort to help.They challenge me to be honest with my body and to push myself to be more in-tuned with every class or private lesson.At the end of the day, Bolder Pilates is more than a studio, it’s a community with tremendous heart and one I’m forever grateful to be a part of.

After my long-time pilates studio closed in Boulder, I tried a few locations around town. I was looking for flexibility in class styles, class schedules, and instructors. I wanted a studio that‘s foundations were built on breathe, stability, elongation, and core stability. You can get a cardio burn in the Jump classes, for sure, but I am here for the stabilizing balance that Pilates brings to my body and my lifestyle. Bolder Pilates has it ALL! I find all the instructors to offer something unique - some classical, some modern - but all kind, aware, and thoughtful with movement. Even a seasoned student will learn new things each class. Classes are intimate with about 5 or 6 students per class, yet package offerings are affordable (for Pilates)! I cannot recommend Bolder Pilates more! Join us!

I started taking classes virtually from out of state when the studio closed. Nicole's mat classes have been great! I'll keep taking virtual classes as long as they're offered!

Great instruction, great people. Bolder Pilates has kept me sane during these past 9 months of COVID. I would highly recommend Bolder Pilates.

Excellent quality pilates here! I have been working with Di for over 3 years and she was key in my post partum healing from pelvic floor dysfunction and overall strength. Highly recommend!
