Love a good reformer class - such a great mixup to my useful fitness routine. It looks so simple but is oh so difficult and you will be oh so sore afterwards in a good way. Our instructor was adorable and so helpful ;) The classes have such cute names too - I went to the cheeks & obliques class. Clean, trendy studio. read more

HIGHLY Recommend their cycling class with Griselda. I'm going through a life changing event and her class has made me forgot about all of my problems for the time while I'm in there. I love her music choices, her energy etc. She is incredibly motivating! I take classes at night and on Saturday morning and hardly have had issues with finding parking in the neighborhood. The studio is very well maintained. I've also taken their pilates classes and definitely recommend it. BUT if you're looking for a cycling class, check out Griselda's classes. I love them and it's a life changing, freeing class. Plus, you get your dose of cardio in as well as some arm workouts. I will definitely return. I love this place! read more

I did Griselda's bike class (my first ever bike class) and it was amazing! The music and vibes are great. Griselda makes everyone feel welcome no matter your level and gives motivational speeches that are super inspiring. Cant wait for my next class! read more

Took Dwight's cycle class and it was great! I got worked in the best way possible - fantastic workout! Value for the class was spot on- better than other cycle studios in the city. The studio was clean and bikes high quality. Dwight had a fantastic playlist also. Wish he had more time slots but for now Thursday's are my go to! Thanks, Dwight! read more

***Adding on to my previous review...review on cycling*** I've been indoor cycling for about 6 years and I like to feel VERY challenged in class. I want to get my money's worth and not be able to keep up with the instructors. I want to feel that I'm making real progress. I know that's a personal preference but I can say that I don't feel challenged at BodyRok cycling and I wish I did. They also don't offer many classes. They typically have a 1 cycling class a day and none on Fridays with only 3 instructors. I've taken cycling with Griselda and Dwight. Griselda is a very sweet instructor and brings that sense of community that I really love. She makes everyone feel welcomed and offers a lot of help before class. She typically starts class 5+ mins late. Her music is okay but not my favorite type of music for cycling. I have taken Dwight a handful of times. He's also very welcoming and kind. His classes are smaller than Griselda's but I prefer that. His class feels more challenging for me but I personally need that extra push that makes me feel like I'm getting better and burning a sweat. I'll continue to come to BodyRok because it's convenient for me and I really do like the pilates but I hope the cycling classes can get better in the future. read more

Love Thursdays cycling with Dwight!!! He has great energy and really good playlists!!!

I took my first Pilates class at this location! I signed up for their intro class and it was a great experience. No matter your fitness level, you will be able to adjust resistance and feel the burn. I've never taken a class like this before but I really enjoyed the movements. This studio was very clean and organized! The neighborhood can be a little sketch in some areas, so just beware if taking Bart to this location! read more

If you're not in Griselda's cycling class where you attttt!?!? I've gone a handful of times, twice were bad bunny themed and the others were high energy amazing jams!! 10/10 the best ever! She's motivating, inspiring and all across the board an amazing vibe!! My wife and I are moving to San Diego so this place will be greatly missed but any time I get the chance I'm riding my ass off with her! read more

I took my first class here with Jonathan last week. The class was super difficult, but Jonathan took his time to explain how the class would go, how the machine works, etc. to the new people, and gave us modifications of the moves were too difficult. It felt like a really great work out and I was sore for a few days after, which I love. Porsha, who was at the front desk was so pleasant and sweet. I ended up purchasing a 5 pack of classes, so I'll definitely be back!! read more

As a class pass user I found this studio to be easily bookable (3-4 days in advance), and the instructors to be very technique focused as they would correct me/others who had incorrect form. I slightly prefer the layout of this over the FiDi location as the studio gets more natural light and I think less crowded with 10ish reformers in a line vs dim purple lights & 2 rows of 6-7 reformers. Favorite classes are any of the full body sculpt and cardio sculpt with Paloma and Matthilde. They will get you working up a sweat and so sore the next day. read more

Class was amazing as it was my first time to studio, studio was nice & clean . Front desk, staff, nice and welcoming. Trainer was exceptional very helpful and made me feel really comfortable being a newbie. read more

TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE. I was unceremoniously not allowed to begin class because of a policy not communicated when I signed in. Signed their waiver, told them I had done hundreds of other reformer Pilates classes before, given a locker and loitered around for 5 minutes only to be told the instructor refused to teach me because she didn't get to explain the machine to me. The instructor named Kat never came over to talk to me when I was just hanging out on my reformer, nor did anyone mention I should seek her out. Kat also didn't even speak to me or acknowledge me when I was being told to leave, she just whispered to the poor front desk girl who then had to kick me out of class. Somehow they made me feel like it was my responsibility to enforce their policy of having the instructor explain the machine before class? The instructor was doing NOTHING when I got there and there was plenty of time to talk about the machine, discuss my experience and reassure her that I know how to use a reformer. Overall I felt incredibly dehumanized and humiliated. They offered a refund but no help or other sense of customer value. My time and money spent getting to the studio are totally irrelevant to them. I'm neurodivergent and this place is incredibly unfriendly if you're bad at perceiving social cues or need explicit explanations. If you are also on the spectrum, find a studio that is supportive of your needs and treats you like a human - which is not this one. read more

Go-to Pilates studio in the Mission! The instructors are great and I'm always left drenched. Parking is tough but you can't beat the location as it's right next to Garden Creamery! No towels are provided but they have lockers, changing rooms, and bathrooms. Highly recommend! read more

Found this class on classpass and decided to give it a try. Pretty convenient spot 12 mins walk away from the 24th mission BART station. The instructor Palm was friendly and the workout was great. I felt it so much in my core. They don't have any towels so make sure to bring your own. read more

Bodyrok Mission - Inside - Pilates Near Me - San Francisco, California

Ok workout. Too much reliance on the machine instead of actually working out your body, plus it's hard on wrists and shoulders. No towels or water fountain, but they have a water bottle refill station. read more

Paloma was very welcoming of the new students in class. She took the time to explain the machine and give alternatives for some of the more challenging exercises. I consider myself pretty fit and love my gym workouts but this class was very humbling. I struggled (in a good way) to get through some of the core exercises and definitely felt sore the next day. I ended up buying more classes because I feel like there's nothing like this workout. 10/10 recommend this location and instructor! read more

Been coming to this location for over 2 years and they recently revamped the studio so it's even more exciting to walk in! I love all the Pilates instructors and it's a bonus that this studio has a spin class as well. I walk out of the studio feeling so good about myself. Highly recommend taking Griselda's spin class! read more

The studio is clean and pretty with plenty of lockers. Eva was an incredible instructor during my first time ever doing reformer Pilates! She was kind and helpful and I recommend taking a class with her! read more

A great workout!!! Parking is tough. Recommend public transportation or uber. I did Cardio Sculpt with Emily and my arms were shaking! Such a good burn in 45 mins and leads a group cool down at the end. I also took a flow sculpt full body with Nerrisa. It was amazing with the mix of yoga and pilates. She brings her dog and they are so cute! She will also send you the playlist after class. So awesome! read more

Came with my girlfriends to attend our first sculpt class at BodyRok. We arrived about fifteen minutes early since it was our first time at the studio hoping we would get an intro to the reformers. We did, but very briefly since our instructor was late. It seemed like she had just woken up and rushed over. It would have been nice if she actually got on a reformer and lead the class. She was mostly walking around giving verbal directions on the mic. A few us noticed that she yawned on the microphone (you could hear her). It wasn't a very engaging class and could've been a lot better had she been on time. I felt like the stretching at the end of class was also rushed because of her tardiness. Music was ok - not loud enough to get you motivated. Energy was also subpar in comparison to other workout classes I've been to. A good first impression is crucial to ensure customer satisfaction and retention. Could give it another shot with a different instructor, but eh, I think I'm good. read more

This review is for the power cycle class -- specifically the classes taught by Griselda!! The only other cycle studio I've been to is soul cycle and I was turned off by the cultish environment. Griselda is anything but that... you will feel motivated, supported and energized! She will take her time to make sure your set up is just right! Explains that movements are optional and that it's your workout and your time. HIGHLY recommend taking her class! One of the best cycling classes I've taken! read more

Clean, spacious, and a killer workout! This is my go-to Pilates studio in SF and I have left every session feeling stronger and better than I did walking in. It's similar to other BodyRok locations but they don't offer drinks/electrolyte gels like the Berkeley studio. Hair-ties, towels, deodorant spray, etc. are available! All of the reformers here are lined up against one mirrored wall, which feels better than other studios where you have rows - it really forces you to focus only on yourself. I've taken sculpt classes with a few instructors here but the ones with Ariel are AMAZING. She knows exactly what she's doing and her classes have always made me work out the hardest. She is also amazing at correcting your posture and form and helping you out without making you feel bad or making a big deal about it (an issue I've had with a BodyRok instructor at the Berkeley location). It's also located in between Mission and Valencia - perfectly situated for a post-workout treat at Craftsman and Wolves, Ritual Coffee, or Project Juice! read more

Well just had my best workout yet, so much cardio, intensity and also touching all the muscles. This was the best workout I've had in years. The instructors name is Erik and he was truly amazing, looking forward to more classes with him. read more

Clean studio with okay parking and lots of classes including cycling which is great!!!

I ADORE the class that a friend and I took here after signing up with Zenrez. Our abs were sore for DAYS afterwards! When we got an email a few weeks later offering us half off a package of 3 classes, we excitedly purchased. When we try to book however, there seems to be a disconnect between the booking system and the purchasing system, so we can't book using our package. We have left 3 voicemails, sent two emails, sent 2 yelp messages, and even reached out on instagram, and still have not been contacted about how to resolve this, which is especially frustrating because we have less than a month to take the classes. If you're okay purchasing class by class and paying full price, I'd encourage you to do so, but beware purchasing packages. You may never get to use them. read more

Great reformer work out. I've been here for about 50 workouts over the past 2-3 years and every workout is different! It's a total body workout - legs, upper body and abs. In the mission studio, don't choose the reformer closest to the white brick wall. There's an army of ants and it's really distracting and gross! read more

Bodyrok Mission - Pilates Near Me - San Francisco, California

Just one big YUP. great instructor. Elana, fabulous front desk, emailed me the specials which was amazing & throughout the entire class I did not feel judged I felt guided and supported! I'm a runner, a cyclist, and a yoga person - and this class was a great challenge. read more

Go to Eric's class and if you can't make his, check out Shannon's. Whatever you do, don't think you're going to be half an hour early when you leave to get there because it's going to take at least forty-five minutes to park-- the only reason it's four stars and not five! read more

I've only been here for the Sculpt Megaformer classes, and they are super challenging and painful (in a good way), workout. I've taken reformer classes all around the city, and my favorites are Mint Studios because the classes are small so the instructor can provide corrections in your form and alignment. I've taken a lot of other pilates classes where the time goes by slowly and I'm wondering if I'm spending an hour stretching on the reformer instead of actually working out. I've also taken Core40 which I don't like because I think it goes way too fast where you can't focus on form, the instructors are so-so and just seem like they are regurgitating a memorized workout, and the music is too loud. I like Mint Studios the best but I find I come here a lot because it's easier to get into the classes (I do ClassPass), I've found a few instructors that I like, it's easy to get to (on 20th between Valencia and Mission), and the studio itself is really nice, clean, spacious and smells good (thanks, Nest Grapefruit candles). If you want to workout with your significant other, there more guys that come here than other reformer classes / boutique studios. The classes seem to focus more on legs and core, than arms, and most of the exercises are 40 seconds long and transition pretty quickly. If you have never taken a reformer class before, you may be feel a little bit lost. Half of the time, I'm wishing the exercise I'm doing would end and we could go to the next one, and then when the next one comes, I'm wondering how 30 seconds feels so long and why my legs or abs are on fire. Some of the instructors tend to call out the exercises by name, like Canonball, Jackrabbit, Mermaid, so try to situate yourself next to someone who has been coming for a while and knows what to do, or pick a spot closer to the middle so you can copy someone. The one downside is that a lot of the exercises in the 40 minutes are the same class after class, and I wish they would mix it up a little bit more so that you don't get bored or it doesn't get predictable. The instructors can be a little bit hit or miss - my favorite ones are Ariel and Christy because they seem to have a pilates background and seem to pay more attention to form than some other instructors. The music is usually not offensive and not blaringly loud. They have spin classes here and yoga, but I haven't tried those so I can't review those. But overall, good workout (a bit expensive if you are to buy drop-in classes), but if you do a membership here they have a good variety of classes, and I like that it's short for when I have to squeeze a quick workout in the morning. They have a good time slots for classes too and they don't seem to be overcrowded. They also have lockers with locks built in so your belongings are safe) I'd recommend this if you like pilates reformer classes but want something more fast-paced / advanced, and a focus on core/legs. read more

BodyRok is finally now in the Mission (they had a location in the Marina), and also part of ClassPass! They currently have a very limited workout schedule (all early morning stuff). It's a typical $20 for first class, and $35 for a single (you know the SoulCycle, Barry's rates...), and they offer 1) Yoga, 2) Pilates, and 3) Cycling. Love their beautiful new studio located conveniently on Valencia and 20th! So glad to have another cycling, pilates option in the neighborhood. read more

BodyRok is my favorite studio for when I don't really feel like working out. The classes are short (40 min for reformer and 45 spin) so it's easy to convince yourself to "just go" and I always walk out feeling better than when I came in. Their reformer classes are what I consider to be a mix of largree/ spx and classical pilates, but overall much closer to lagree in my opinion. I personally don't find them as across the board challenging as core studio, core40 etc, but again that's part of the reason I love them. They are that perfect in between intensity wise. I also love that they offer spin. They use power zones (love) which I have used at other studios, but in doing this, calibrating is key, and I have to say some instructors do a better job than others of setting you up for FTP calibration. If you go too hard or too easy during the song it can throw you off for the rest of class and that is majorly set by the song and choreography the instructor chooses. I would like if they standardized a little more. Last thing to note on their cycling classes, pedals are sneaker cages or SPD pedal/ cleats. This is not a huge issue just Bc they are not a purely spin focused studio, but it is a bummer that I can't use my SPD-SL cleats on their bikes. Take home is that I really enjoy BodyRok. Only thing I would add would be combo classes which I believe the berkeley BodyRok does (or did?). read more

Great studio! Very clean and spacious with greater number of reformers than competing studios. Love their amenities: Digilockers, towels, water, changing rooms and two bathrooms. I took a class with Ariel, and she was great! Looking forward to trying out some more classes here. read more

I thought I was pretty fit, until I took the SCULPT Full Body class here yesterday morning. Being someone whose workout regime includes rock climbing 2 to 3 times a week and 2 to 3 bootcamp classes per week with the occasional yoga class thrown in, I purposely took this SCULPT class thinking I could do it half asleep on an early Saturday morning. Wrong, so wrong. This is not a regular Reformer Pilates class. I used to do Reformer Pilates classes on a weekly basis, and this is probably 10x harder. The aptly named MegaReformer offers quite a bit more resistance than a regular Reformer. Combine that resistance with traditional Pilates exercises that depend on balance and alignment, and you have a recipe for quivering muscles. An example of an exercise is donkey-kicking with a resistance spring on the foot of the kicking leg, while trying to balance on a wobbly carriage. (Hello, Gluteus Maximus!) The SCULPT class may have only been 40 minutes long, but it was quite effective. I found myself sweating all over the machine, despite the fact that this is not a cardio workout. After melting into a puddle of quivering muscles and sweat, I promptly signed up for another session this upcoming Sunday. Maybe the soreness will wear off by then? read more

I've come to BodyRok for megaformer classes a few times and I enjoy it a lot overall! I find the class format to be a little more accessible than Core40, but it still definitely kicks my butt. If you're looking to try a megaformer class for the first time, I'd recommend BodyRok over Core40 for this reason. The machines are arranged in a line, so you can actually see yourself in the mirror all throughout class, which is helpful. The instructors don't offer a ton of hands on adjustments, but the instruction is generally good and the transitions are manageable and straightforward. I'm usually sore all over for days afterwards! The studio has white decor and a modern feel. There is also usually decent gender diversity in these classes. They also have free towels. No showers but they do sell wipes and things you can use to freshen up after class. read more

Sculpt classes are hard! Playlists and instructors make all the difference to me, cause otherwise it's just 40 mins of shaking and burning, aka suffering! haha! Love Jason and Paisley for their music selection and quality of instruction, they really know their stuff, plus they make it fun. Love that! The soundtrack makes all the difference to me, and these two always provide challenging, fun, enjoyable classes. Thanks you guys!! read more

I had an unfortunate visit to this location. Another woman working out gave us odd looks probably because we were the only POC in there and the instructor was hard to hear and unclear with instructions. It definitely feels like a gym completely targeted towards white people and that makes me sad. I grew up in the mission and to have people make you feel out of place in your own neighborhood is absolutely devastating. Do better... read more

I take the SCULPT full body classes here every Saturday and have to say I am obsessed. The class itself varies slightly each time but you can always rely on lunges, teasers, mermaids, arm exercises, and good old-fashioned planks! Not only do you feel the burn during class but the next day? yowza! (Humble brag) my legs are the most toned they have ever been in my life thanks to these classes. The instructors are all extremely friendly, explain form and transitions clearly, and are incredibly motivating. The studio is also modern, clean, and offers free towels! Rok it out. read more

Ill probably come back only to try the spin class or another Pilates class with a different instructor. STUDIO: When you walk in the front door, you can immediately view the previous class finishing up there class. No showers, two plains white dressing rooms, free cubbies and lockers, one water fountain. There wasn't much time in between the classes to get get settled. CLASS: sculptFULL BODY class is powerful and pinpoints target areas. Music was techno and party music which helps get through the moves. Some of the moves made me shake and second guess how fit I really am. Other moves I knew something was off and I wasn't doing it right. I came here with one of my girlfriends and there were a few moves that were new to us. We just kept exchanging clueless faces. I shrugged my shoulders at her, then pretended to be doing the moves while I watch the other fit AF ladies around us, sophistically maneuvering the carriage up and down. I just wished the instructor could have noticed us pause in our struggles and help us fix our mistakes. I appreciated that the instructor approach us after class and apologized that she didn't have time to show us a few tips before class. Kind of smidge late considering i spent 7-8 units from classpass without of feeling a sense of accomplishment that i would normally feel from an epic workout class. However, If she helped us tweak our mistakes here and there during class, I think my experience would bump up to 4-5 stars. read more

I went to BodyRok a couple of times with friends and I enjoyed it immensely. I love how clean the machines are and I appreciate the space between them and the mirrors that allow you to see how you're doing. I also think it's nice that they provide towels for sweaty people like me. The instructors give clear instructions and also demonstrate on the floor what they want you to do. If you're new, they provide a quick demo of their reformer and come by to help with corrections and modifications. I felt challenged and motivated and my friends also got a great workout. It's nice that you can feel the results after only 40 minutes. read more

I want to start out by saying I had an AMAZING work out here. I was sweaty and shaking within 30 seconds of starting the class. I've been doing yoga for around 15 years and it's not often that I feel very sore the day after a class. The days following my workout at Bodyrok I felt like I was wearing a "pain suit" that covered my whole torso. I mean, even my boobs hurt, MY BOOBS! This is good because it was proof that I was working out muscles that may have never been worked out, like, ever. Hail the reformer! Things to be aware of- -If you never used the reformer before, you may need help figuring some stuff out and you won't really get it. The class condenses 90 minutes worth of workout into 40 minutes so the instructor won't have time to help you correct mistakes, etc. Just look at the person next to you and try your best. I'm sure that after 2-3 classes it all becomes second nature. -Hard on shrimps- If you are under 5 ft tall some of the exercises won't work right and you'll need to make adjustments like taking up slack in the ropes/lines. It's not a big deal, but it's a bit annoying. - If you aren't young/gorgeous/super fit the instructor won't show you any love and will act annoyed at your presence. The minute I arrived I saw the instructor's disappointment at my presence (I'm not gorgeous, super-fit, or young like everyone else in the class). She seemed vaguely annoyed with me the entire time, including when I declared the ipad with their waiver form on it broken (she huffed out from behind the counter to show me how to do it, only to discover that , yes, I wasn't lying, their ipad was actually not working and the problem wasn't in fact that I was too old to know how to use an ipad!). Here's the instructor to woman next to me who was there for the first time : "Thanks so much for coming, you did great for the first time! Be sure to come back again!" Here's the Instructor to (first-timer) me 20 seconds later : "bye" I loved the reformer but will probably seek a studio that's not just for "beautiful people" the next time around... read more
