Club Pilates

As of this post, I have completed 53 Club Pilates classes. I am NOT a workout girl at all and I look forward to my Pilates class due to finding this studio!I love the instructors here at Club Pilates, Tyler. I have been traveling for work and family reasons the last month and upgraded my membership to be able to use all clubs. I have seen a wide variety of studios and instructors and can tell you that my home studio in Tyler is superior!!!Each instructor has a different way of teaching/queuing the moves, but by far they are a great group of teachers!

I took a beginner class today, which they offer complimentary to gain new memberships, yet you're practically required to buy overpriced merchandise (non slip socks if you have no idea about Pilates machines you won't know where to buy or what they even are- basically ensuring a beginner will need to rely on the studio for the overpriced required item to participate). FYI the studio charged $21.65 while you can find them on Amazon for $9.99- so yeahh wayyy OVERPRICED for a limited selection of bizarre looking socks. I've never used a Pilates machine before or paid for a Pilates club membership.The beginner class begins, the instructor (GM/half owner according to her) demanded everyone disclose their medical history in front of all of the other students at the beginning of the class in the most rude approach. It was so unprofessional. All students filled out a waiver form prior to class and if prior injuries were an importance to this gym to know it could of been included on the form. The instructor literally said, I have to disclose my injuries in front of everyone, hmm no I don't. Although, I have no problem disclosing such, it's not required except by this studio's own standard and not her place to demand it in such a way. I have physicians that review my medical history and my activities... it's out of line for a Pilates instructor thinking it's her realm of MUST KNOW disclosure. A Pilates instructor should be intuitive enough to see weaknesses in students and modify an exercise appropriately for the individual, definitely a core concept in any group exercise curriculum. I'm interested in Pilates for the PT and I have confirmation from my physician I'm good with all movements. I wouldn't want an exercise modified prior to even attempting it, what a weird concept!!!After the initial awkward start demanding medical history, during the class the instructor comes off as condescending and she discusses multiple times she's the Club Pilates GM as well as listing out her credentials of Pilates awesomeness multiple times in some sad display of maintaining her self importance. Yeah I'd hope you were credentialed since people are paying you to teach them Pilates. Mentioning it initially as an introduction is one thing but referring back to it multiple times in class is rather odd. Honestly once she mentioned she was the GM and half owner I wasn't particularly interested in paying for a membership with this studio, because she was that off putting. After class I left asap. I briefly stopped at the front to talk with the receptionist because she was pleasant and trying to make a sell. I picked up on it being required of her to discuss the membership with the students as they were leaving and instead of blowing her off since she had been sweet, I stopped to ask if there were other instructors because I wasn't into the one that taught the class. Probably petty, but I made sure I waited to ask about other instructors when ego queen was in ear shot. Of course the receptionist answers completely sweet as nice as possible and I take off. The GM herself called me after I left, I guess to merely to be confrontational since I had asked if there were other instructors other than her because I wasn't into her as an instructor. The instructor called trying to defend something no clue what she was getting at or why she called because I already told the front desk girl I'd think about it (NOT really) but to be polite to the receptionist. This instructor keeps trying to explain herself on the phone and I raise my voice to talk over her because she won't let me talk then she tries gaslighting to act like I did something wrong by raising my voice when she kept interrupting me and talking over me when she asked a question and she switches it around saying something to the effect "like I'm not doing this with you," or something like that when she's the one that immediately called me after I left acting confrontational!! So I literally have to hang up on her. Total psycho.

The instructors here are welcoming, nonjudgmental, will meet you where you are at physically for workouts, knowledgeable and excellent at what they do. Kayla is the absolute guru at Pilates! Blakely will give you everything you need in a workout. Melissa is the most supportive and will work you hard enough that it counts but make sure it won't hurt. Danielle is the sweetest and I genuinely enjoy her classes!**Update** Overall great experience consistently the classes are updated to keep things new and exciting. I have been going about 9months now.

I joined Club Pilates two years ago and absolutely love it! It’s a low impact workout where I have seen an increase in strength, flexibility and balance. I always look forward to going and feel great afterwards. The staff is warm and welcoming! The instructors bring their own unique teaching styles which gives variety in a fun atmosphere. I highly recommend trying Club Pilates!

I love the instructors at this studio! They are very helpful and motivating. It’s so awesome to be able to build my strength and flexibility and have fun while doing it. Coming to class is my favorite part of my day! I would recommend this studio to anyone!

I have a degenerative spine and have had multiple surgeries on it. With arthritis everywhere, I was told to keep my core strong. I am limited to what exercises I can do. I started pilates not know anything about it. I can say after 3 months I absolutely love ❤️ it! Kayla has helped me with adjustments for my back and I am getting stronger!! When you hurt all the time you just want to be a couch potato…I can say I feel so much better after I have done a class! Thank you Club Pilates, I LOVE coming! Everyone get up and come get your free class! 💚💚

I have never taken Pilates, and joined Club Pilates six months ago in hopes of finding a great, low impact workout. I absolutely love going to class almost daily, and have definitely seen results in toning and flexibility. My Pilates journey is just beginning, and I’m so thankful to have found such a great way to move my body, and enjoy it from start to finish!

Wow, I never realized that you can exercise and stretch while laying down until I discovered Club Pilates. The studio is clean and well equipped but the best part of Club Pilates Tyler is the management and staff! I'm a senior citizen with some health problems. Kayla, the manager has been so supportive of me and dishes out the TLC. It is obvious that she cares about her members.They have many classes and times to accommodate most any schedule. Practicing a low impact workout 3 times a week has made me a believer. Call for a free intro class, you won't regret it.

Today was my 33rd Pilates class. My body feels lighter and more aware, stronger and less afraid of trying new things.Club Pilates Tyler has changed my life for the better. Each teacher has their own distinct style, but each one has the same undercurrent of genuine love for their craft and their students. I look forward to going back each time I leave.

Absolutely love attending classes at Club Pilates in Tyler! Several friends and I joined together. It is a perfect combination of yoga and weights for the perfect stretch and perfect toning! I’d highly recommend going! ALL the instructors are wonderful, (Tonya is our favorite) and the club manager is super friendly and always happy to help us!
