I thought it was time for a little update from my last post a year ago. I had my first class with…read moreP.J. today and absolutely loved her!!! I think everyone else felt the same way. She has the perfect personality to teach Pilates and she's so patient with the newer clients and so genuinely warm! P.J. gave such clear and concise verbal instructions and cues when guiding us through all the movements and reminding us to breath. She's awesome! Also, I want to give another shout out to Stacy who I've taken multiple classes with over the year and I equally feel the same way about her. Stacy is so seasoned as an instructor and I always enjoy her classes.

I went to Butterfly after a serious medical issue with both achilles tendons that left me unable to…read morewalk normally. As a result of the medical issue, the muscles in my legs had atrophied to an alarming degree, as had my overall strength and mobility. After only 7 classes with Sandra, all personalized for me, I am walking without a cane and far more normally. My achilles may still need surgery down the road, but I have rediscovered my arm, leg and core strength in a way I never thought possible. Sandra is wonderful to work with, taking copious notes about my weight tolerance et al, and customizing my reformer workouts with the information. This studio and Sandra are amazing! Highly recommend.

I was told I wasn't handicapped enough to park in the parking spot by unqualified persons, unbelievable! If you are lucky, Richard is an excellent instructor, very focused on form. Be careful what you say. I was bullied, harassed and maligned for sharing my experiences about this studio.

I have taken classes from her for over 10 years now and she has change my life and my body for the better. She is SO GOOD at making accommodations and does an excellent job of keeping a close eye on every single person in her class. She challenges and pushes me in the most positive ways, is always encouraging and kind. Both Suzi and her studio are amazing--the very best in SCV.

Pilates by Samar is hands down the best Pilates class I've ever taken. She is absolutely amazing…read more She paces the class perfectly, yet challenging enough to feel the burn, but never so fast that I feel overwhelmed. Every movement feels intentional. She's incredibly attentive to form and always offers helpful cues and modifications, which makes the class accessible whether you're newer to Pilates or more experienced. I leave every session feeling stronger, more balanced, and energized. One day I was feeling rundown during a private session and "she said I got you, you're going to leave here feeling great" and she was absolutely right, I walked out feeling refreshed & energized. If you're looking for a Pilates class that's both effective and thoughtfully led, this is it. Highly recommend!

My wife has been a customer since Studio 7 opened 3 years ago attending over 500 classes within…read morethat time. Luci & the community she's built at Studio 7 are absolutely amazing, every day my wife attends class she's brighter, more enthusiastic and energetic, and so much of that comes from the awesome experience she has each morning with her girls. I've attended class myself several times over the years, and each time the class has evolved to introduce new exciting routines of varying difficulties that keep you engaged regardless of experience or strength. I cannot recommend Studio 7 highly enough, all around the premier place to experience pilates at it best.

I attended classes here consistently for two years. That ended when the entire schedule was changed…read morein a way that made it impossible for me to attend, effectively forcing me out of the class. I was never notified of this change. Instead, the studio chose to text my wife--but not me, the actual paying client. Clear and professional communication was apparently optional. I had paid six months in advance and requested a refund for the three months I could no longer use due to the schedule change. I was offered a refund at a lower rate than what I originally paid, despite the change not being initiated by me. There is nothing in the contract stating the studio can unilaterally change class times and then retroactively reduce the value of prepaid classes. As a result, I now have no option but to pursue this through small claims court. Two years of loyalty ended not because of a schedule change--but because of how it was handled. This kills me because I loved doing these classes. ‍

I have been doing group training with a friend thru Stacey for close to a year now and I gotta…read moresay...she really knows her stuff! The workouts are challenging and fun, but more importantly they are catered to your specific needs. She uses TRX, weights, kettle bells, ropes, bosu balls, punching bags, etc! It's a boot camp or gym experience without feeling like you're being "watched"! Stacey takes the time to develop a plan for you focusing on YOUR wants and needs. The workouts change frequently so that you're never bored! You can call or text her at anytime if you aren't sure about your diet or which item to choose on a menu! AND she is super affordable for a Personal Trainer!!!!! I have worked with a lot of "gym" trainers and have never been impressed. I was just another hour in their day. Stacey has pride in her business and genuinely cares about her clients results! I know that she also is working with physical therapists to help people with injuries get their strength back as well as helping people with fitness goals (marathon, triathlon, competitions, etc). She is the FULL package!

Holy Cow!!!! Stacey is amazing!!! The workout she gave was un-real...had me dying. I can tell…read morethat she really cares because she spent so much time with me getting to know what MY goals are and what I want to achieve.
