Club Pilates

After being fat shamed in multiple classes by one of the instructors (the militant woman from overseas) for bra buldge and what she deemed a stomach too big (I have 3% visceral body fat)After this same instructor had the stones to put her hands on me andAfter being told by a staffer that a subscription tier I had just heard her talking about didn't exist when I inquired about it - not that I wasn't eligible, that it didn't existI made the decision to cancel my membership and invest in an at home reformer machine.Funnily enough, the lower pricing tier I had formerly asked about and which the staffer was insistent didn't exist, mysteriously was offered to me a few days before my last class in a last ditch effort to keep me on board.I found an at home reformer that foldsIt folds and was priced substantially less than than I had been paying at Club Pilates. Best of all, I no-longer have to deal with harassing a-hole instructors and staff nonsense.This review is really just for the Jersey City location. I had formerly been going to the Hoboken location and never had an issue with any of the instructors or staff. Those classes felt therapeutic even. The Jersey City location was an entirely different matter.

Love taking Leeza’s class! She is so nice and always challenges us to do better than last class and is so helpful with corrections. My favorite instructor!

I took an intro class here, and it was a pleasant introduction to reformer Pilates. The introduction to the history of Pilates was not as long as other comments have outlined.After the class, we received a rundown of the pricing. However, as soon as I indicated that I would not be paying for a membership right away and wanted to return at a later time, the woman at the front desk lost all interest in any further communication and walked away without saying a simple goodbye. Her behavior was a turn off to the rest of the experience.

The free 30 min intro class was a bit lackluster. The first part of the "class" was spent talking about the history of Pilates and why it's a good workout and why you should join etc. I thought the intro class would be structured more like a beginner workout while also helping one become more familiar with the equipment. The second part was definitely fulfilled but it did not feel like other free intro classes studios around the area provide. After the intro class was over they read over the different membership options and it just felt like they gave a minimal "sneak peak" into Pilates and were just trying to sell you a membership. I would've liked the intro class to be more representing of what an actual class is like at their studio and then maybe I would be more keen to purchase a membership.

Molly is a great instructor! She’s very clear in her instructions and gives a challenging workout. The staff members at the front desk are also very friendly and helpful.

Khalil’s class was great. Great instruction, taught to the class audience, very good pace. Best instructor I’ve had yet

Great class with Vivian!! Awesome music that didn’t overpower the class and I loved her intentional lights off yoga-like quiet reflection at end of class… which was much needed after she kicked my butt with chair exercises during class.

A few instructors are great but at least 60% of the instructors here do not give any instructions or guidance in class so you're on your own.Also - if you pay for the unlimited membership and try to cancel it, good luck with it. With more than 30 days of notice and many back and forth emails, I still got charged an early cancellation fee after being a member for more than 6 months. Absolutely ridiculous.

Need more classes between 5-7. Favorite instructors are Grace Bonnie and Orysia, they are very good at explaining various positions and very patient/kind which is a big plus for beginners. …

O and Leeza are my favorite instructors. I go to Pilates 4 or more times a week and I always try to make sure that I’m in their classes. Great workouts every time!
