Club Pilates

The instructors are great, but management will keep renewing your membership without your consent. I loved Pilates so much that I upgraded to the unlimited membership which at the time was $199 a month. I went to classes at least three times a week in most cases, and the instructors and staff were so friendly and willing to help me learn since I'm blind and was intimidated by group classes. But when I got pregnant, I became really sick and had hyperemesis for my entire pregnancy, so I asked if the studio could make a medical exception and allow me to freeze my membership until I was well enough to come back. They were so kind and agreed, and I have a text thread with a message saying, "No problem at all. Please let us know when you are ready to come back into the studio." So with that reassurance, I focused on getting better so that I could start exercising again. Without my knowledge, Pilates started charging me the full $199 monthly fee again in January. When I realized the problem in August and reached out for a refund of the cumulative $1,592 that I'd unknowingly been charged, I was told they could only refund half of the months because I had no documentation showing that I'd canceled my membership. And when I said I'd been given a medical exception because I was sick, and I showed them the text thread, the District Manager told me there was nothing additional she could do because Pilates studios are franchises. And when I asked how to contact the owners to dispute the charges, I was also ignored.I feel so let down and sad because until this issue, I sincerely loved this studio and all the things I've learned there. I still have not been refunded the remaining $796 that was charged without my consent, and management is refusing to help me even though I have proof I was told that everything would be put on hold until I wasn't too sick to exercise. So if you go here, be careful and don't trust that they will honor promises made about your individual account.

Another place that doesn’t have any empathy or appreciation for the hardest job in our society, motherhood. My daughter has been trying to get me to join her in taking a Pilates class but I took time off from work so she could get much needed self care as a single mom and is turned away when taking care of her baby made her tardy. I will definitely tell anyone I know Belmar Pilates doesn’t place any importance on mothers or women for that matter.

Worst experience of my life, I have done pilates for year's and have had to take a break due to being a single mom and the first time I am able to book a class I am turned away after being a few minutes late because I had to comfort my 2 year old who woke from a nightmare before leaving. This has never happened to me at the myriad of other studios I have joined over the years. This studio is NOT MOM FRIENDLY and Amy Tunnel is not kind or considerate but outright rude. I left crying, then decided other mom's should know, especially single mom's and not waste their money. I also tried calling several times to discuss membership and no one called me back, so I paid full price for a class I didn't get to enjoy. I feel discriminated against on both counts.

Been taking classes for a year and a half. I am so much stronger, my joints feel better, more flexible. I love the instructors and the early morning classes that help me start my day off right!

The instructors are great and every class is different, so it's always a challenge!

I haven't enjoyed exercising so much since I was a teenager. I love the variety with all the wonderful instructors. I can't pick a favorite but I regularly attend Marilyn, Amy T, and Erica's classes. The classes are thoughtful, and they remember many people's injuries and give adjustments. My favorite class is the Center and Balance it's perfect after a long work day at my desk. The office staff is wonderful too, Nicole and Peggy and I can't remember everyone's names but I always receive a warm welcome when I walk through the door. I have never had a billing problem that wasn't easily corrected. I hope to be a long-term Pilates Customer at Club Pilates Belmar, and I can't wait to take private lessons with Arielle.

Love the teachers at the studio! Marilyn's Suspend class is a must if you want to feel your muscles shake and see some awesome body sculpting results.

Arielle provides great private classes and really hones in on what your needs are. Lucy is fantastic as a class instructor, always giving great feedback and keeping focused. And Darien is always very pleasant at the desk. I appreciate the whole group.

I’ve had a couple of big spinal fusion surgeries and have lost range of motion, but I want to continue with Pilates classes to strengthen my core, back and body. Lucie has been very understanding and helps me find ways to continue exercise when I can’t do what the class is doing. Great classes! I’ve been at the Belmar studio almost 4 years.

I first joined pilates because I though the reformer looked fun ! Come to find out, it is! Now im obsessed. Lucie, Aja, and Marilyn are 3 of my favorite instructors. All knowledgeable in their own ways. I paticulary enjoy Lucie's style of instruction. She is knowledgeable on body facts, reminds you on where to focus, and throws in the occasional corny joke ! Which I Love! It keeps the atmosphere light and reminds you to have fun. Can't forget about the front staff either. They make sure you are happy , are always welcome to see you in, and sad to see you go. What a fantastic team at this location!
