As a parent of a student athlete I have seen her commitment to my daughter's athletic advancement through her training regime with Coach Peter's. I joined in April of this year and have noticed a significant improvement in my mobility and overall strength in my body. I went in struggling with heavy knee pain from years of playing basketball. Coach Peter's focused on improving my strength and mobility through adequate training for my specific concerns. Going to a gym was overwhelming for me, but this is not a GYM. It's a TRAINING facility that builds strength, endurance and confidence with attention to detail. My daughter and I appreciate MFTC and wouldn't trust anyone else with our health goals.

Thank you to Coach Peters for her professionalism, consistency, and commitment to ensuring each client gets exactly what they need. Her attention to detail is unmatched!

I signed up online to try a trial class at Core Bungee, and the booking process made it seem like…read morethe intro class was simply a "try it" session. At no point during sign-up or check-in did it clearly state that the trial would be paid, which was a bit confusing. After the initial 30-minute intro, the owner, Star, let me know the trial was $25 and offered a package of 3 classes for $69 and would wave the into class fee. I decided to go ahead and give it a fair shot and purchased the package. I returned the next day for a full class, but unfortunately, it just wasn't for me. The harness felt uncomfortable in certain areas, and the class itself didn't feel very cohesive. It may have been partly because it was a smaller group and adjustments were being made, but overall it didn't feel like the right workout fit. I let Star know right after class that I wouldn't be continuing and asked if a partial refund might be possible since I had only used one session. She kindly offered alternatives like Zumba or yoga classes, but since I already have access to those elsewhere, I declined. A refund wasn't offered. This review isn't about the money--it's more about transparency and customer experience. I would recommend clearly stating upfront that the intro class is paid, so there are no surprises. That said, if you're curious about bungee fitness, it could still be worth trying to see if it's a good fit for you.

I feel like this is a decent medium sized gym in comparison to the ginormous ones out there, but despite that, it gets super busy here. I'm always dodging the slowest gym walkers when I'm trying to park in this lot to get to Tokyo Central. So, with that in mind, the parking lot does get super packed and busy depending on the time. On our visit, the gym was quite busy, even when it was on a weekday not after work rush hour time. So there was a bit of a wait for some of the machines and it's literally a waiting game (some people left their flask or other items next to a machine) or a spawn camping sort of deal. There's a rule of wiping machines down etc, and it's an honor system, but it looked like people were following this rule. Machines and equipment looked in decent and good condition when we went. Workers there were friendly and welcoming. Not my cup of tea, but if you need a gym, this place works. Just know that it DOES get quite busy and fisted.

Many patrons just park at the structure on the second floor for the fastest access. The lighting of the gym is a bit dim. I personally prefer well lit gym. The towel and sanitizer were out in multiple stations and they were not refilled for the entire hour I was there. The second floor has two classrooms, treadmills. Free weights, cable, and Smith machines. They conditions of the machines are medicore. They dont seem to be well maintained. And most people dont even sanitize the equipment.

I canceled my membership within the advertised 30-day trial period, only to later find out I was charged the first month's dues, the last month's dues, and an annual fee because the gym had created a second membership that remained active. To make matters worse, I was then told there was a 5-day cancellation clause, despite the membership being advertised as a 30-day trial for $1. That was confusing and did not align with what was presented when I signed up. Beyond the billing concerns, I was disappointed with the overall condition of the facility. I witnessed unsanitary conditions, several machines were in need of repair, and the gym often felt overcrowded with very little space between equipment. These issues made the environment uncomfortable and did not meet the standards I expected. Transparency, honesty, and ethical business practices should be a priority. Instead, I was left dealing with unexpected charges, conflicting cancellation terms, and a frustrating experience. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this gym.

My daughter and I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the exceptional services offered at Balance and Grace Pilates Studio, and I must say that it was truly an amazing experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The studio itself exudes a sense of tranquility and serenity, making it the perfect environment for a Pilates practice. The instructors here are truly top-notch, I have been mostly working with Sara and love her teaching style. She is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in the practice of Pilates but also incredibly attentive and supportive. Each session is tailored to individual needs and goals, ensuring that I am able to progress at my own pace in a group setting while still being challenged. Her expertise and guidance are instrumental in helping me improve my technique and deepen my practice. One of the standout features of this studio is the incredible atmosphere they have cultivated which includes Indie (who is the owners pup pal that you will instantly fall in love with). The studio, located in the heart of beautiful downtown Glendora, is impeccably clean and well-maintained, creating a space that is both inviting and conducive to focus. The calming music, natural lighting, and soothing scents all work together to create a peaceful ambiance that allows you to fully immerse yourself in your practice. Overall, my experience here has been nothing short of exceptional. The combination of skilled instructors, welcoming atmosphere, and personalized approach has made each session a joy to attend. I leave feeling not only physically stronger but also mentally rejuvenated, ready to take on whatever challenges come my way. I would highly recommend Balance and Grace Pilates Studio to anyone looking to improve their physical fitness, flexibility, and overall well-being. read more

Many years ago, I took Pilates classes at a different location. I enjoyed them very much, but had to discontinue them. I was truly fortunate to find Christine's studio and reconnect with my favorite form of exercise. She is one very amazing person and instructor. After every class, I not only feel the changes in my body, but I see the transformation, as well. I am stronger, leaner, and flexible. My husband has also noted the improvements. She is a genuine teacher in all sense of the word. She sets high expectations for all of her students, leading them gradually to their fullest potential. She uses a myriad of Pilates equipment and apparatuses to strengthen body muscles...always varying the class routines keeping it fun and enjoyable! read more

It is truly is a special place! I hate going to gym's but I love going to Pilates class at Balance & Grace! Classes are small enough to get personal attention w/o having to get private sessions. I have never found another place that offers group reformer classes. Christine is a great instructor and no class has ever been the same. She has also been very responsive whenever I have texted her with a question or concern. I did a few private sessions before moving onto the group classes but if you have some Pilates knowledge you may be able to move straight into a class. If you have no experience I would suggest a few privates so you don't feel lost in class. read more

I was never one for working out and always very intimidated by the gym. I found out about Christine's Balance and Grace Pilates and wanted to give it a try. I've been attending now for a month and have to say it's my new addiction. Not only is Christine an amazing instructor but the overall vibe of the studio is great. The classes are small, about 4 people, so I get a lot of person attention. Christine is quick to correct your form and I know I'm getting the proper guidance in the class. I leave the class feeling like I got a complete body workout. Christine's class has been a life changing experience for me and I would recommend her classes to anyone. read more

My heart aches for the fitness industry as I began my early career for a fitness company's corporate office for 5 and a half years. Many of my former coworkers and close friends experienced hardships due to the pandemic. On top of that, my former go-to Barre studio in Irvine, Cardio Barre/Ever Barre did not survive the economic downfalls of the pandemic... Thankfully I was able to find Barre Element through the Mind Body app, and I absolutely love it!! Prior to signing up, I called the business to make sure they were for-reals ready to open. Liz answered my call and she was extremely sweet and professional. She informed me of all of the safety precautions and what I needed to bring to the class. After my conversation with Liz, I was so reassured and positive about the studio that I committed to the Intro 1st Month Unlimited ($99). Covid Safety - Everyone takes their temperature at the door. Clearly marked 6 ft distance in the studio. Limit capacity to 8 students. Extra efforts into sanitizing, air filter and uv light disinfecting. Covid liability waiver. Virtual classes also available on Zoom if you are not personally comfortable with going back to the studios yet. For any first timers, you will need grip socks. Available for purchase if you do not already have your own pair. Definitely bring water!! Mats are available, but I like to bring my own. Be ready to experience soreness after your work out!! There is a board on the far end of the studio indicating which fitness props you need for the day, such as weights, resistance bands, weight ball, etc. Don't be late!! And let your instructor know if you have any injuries/issues prior to class. I have been to so many classes and I love all of the instructors and the other ladies who take class. Everyone is absolutely lovely and we all send out positive vibes, encourage and love to each other. Shout out to my Barre BFF Fran!!! We met in barre class quite recently but if you see us interacting, you would think we have been BFFs for everrrsssss. Here are a few of the classes and instructors I have encountered. In chronological order to be fair :) Barre with Ci'Monique - My first first first class here and first real work out after months of being lockdown in the pandemic was with Ci'Monique! I love her energy. This class is designed to help tone and lengthen lean muscles. The combination of movements help strength your core with added elements of cardio and sculpting exercises. Her energy and music selection really helps keep me motivated and pushing to do my best. Classic Barre with Mary - Less cardio and more traditional dance movements. This class aims to lean and lengthen. Mary is super sweet, but her work outs will still kick your butt! Barre Intensity with Christina - I loooove Christinaaaa!! Her classes are tough, but she always reminds you to listen to your body and provide alternatives for more or less intensity. This class combines pilates, dance and functional fitness. It is a full body work out and you definitely leave feeling mentally and physically stronger. Barre Intensity with Vanessa - Similar style as class mentioned above. When I got to Vanessa's classes I can expect a good toning work out because she is preparing for her wedding and I am preparing for my friend's wedding so I really appreciate the arm leaning movements despite how much I melt in class. She sticks it out with us the entire time to reach her own goals. Yoga Sculpt/Yoga Sculpt EXTREME with Celia - I love Celia so much but her work out definitely made my fat cry. I sign up for classes based on my personal schedule and availability so I didn't read when I signed up for. When I came to the Yoga Sculpt I already died, and apparently I signed up for the EXTREME version the following day. This class is a combination of Barre and PiYo, so there is a lot of isometric exercises with added vinyasa flow. It may seem like simple movements, but your body will definitely feel the burn. In addition to loving all the classes, the instructors and fellow barre ladies, Element Barre has an amazing merchandise section. I have purchased cute cute shirts that Liz has designed, a decent amount of grip socks and even cute fashionable hot pink weights that I use outside of class too. I just love everything about this place. I am so grateful to have discovered this hidden gem to help me pursue my personal goals and just be the best version of myself I can be. I always catch feelings for physically super fit guys, so I better stay in somewhat decent shape to keep up :)

I came back in February 2026 and feel better and have lost 18 pounds! :) I recently read a negative review criticizing Laura for occasionally going off-topic during class and talking about real-life issues. My response is this: let's not be so quick to judge. None of us are perfect, and we're all real people dealing with real emotions and life experiences. When Laura says things like "monkey see, monkey do," I know exactly what she means. Many of us will see someone sit down or lie down during class and think, "Maybe I'll take a break too." I know I have. She's simply encouraging us to push through mental barriers and stay focused on our practice. What many people don't see is the amount of time and energy Laura invests in her students, especially new ones. I regularly see her stay after class to help students improve their poses, answer questions, and encourage them to reach their full potential. She is passionate about helping people succeed, not just in yoga but in life. What stands out to me most is how she connects with people on an emotional level. Many students come to her studio as a last resort after living with chronic pain, physical limitations, or frustration from not finding relief elsewhere. Laura genuinely cares about those people. She listens, encourages, and helps them believe that improvement is possible. That kind of dedication is rare. For me, Bikram Yoga has been incredibly healing, both physically and mentally. A lot of it is mindset, "you take what helps you, learn from it, and build on it". Don't let a few words that may have been taken out of context define Laura or her business. Life is what you make it, and I choose to view every class as a stepping stone toward a healthier, longer life. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I believe it's important to be kind and fair when sharing it. That's just my two cents. Laura has helped many people over the years, and I am grateful to be one of them.

I am sorry but I had an unexpected experience here. It was my 2nd Bikram Yoga class and Laura was…read morethe instructor. My first session with the other instructor went well. While Laura was instructing, I felt like she was talking about many unnecessary topics like how yoga is not their only profession and how it doesn't really pay well. I don't know how it's relevant to us? She also told a fellow student that I was copying her yoga moves and mentioned "monkey sees, monkey does" something like that. While I wasn't really copying anyone. She also mentioned that I was anxious during the session while I wasn't really anxious. I was just trying to put efforts. I don't understand how can someone "encourage " a student like that during their initial sessions. What's the issue even if someone is looking anxious? Yoga should be a pleasant experience for newcomers and not feel like walking on a tight rope. I thought it was just me but I found other 1 star reviews here concerning her on similar issues. I don't feel comfortable going back even though I paid for an entire month. Sorry but please treat your new students with extra care and encouragement. Good luck!
