I've been coming to Boost since before covid. Because everyone has been so nice all these years and for the history of it, I'm giving 4. If I were new, it would probably be more like 2-3 stars. There's been a turnover of instructors, and they are rallying. While the new teachers are nice and putting in the effort, they lack foundational Pilates knowledge. Classes are similar to a spin class because instructors talk and encourage the WHOLE time. It ends up being a bit chaotic because people can't distinguish between the cheerleading, the necessary cues, or spring changes. Most importantly, the detailed form cues and corrections are missing. Classes feel rushed and lack clear direction on technique, which is the opposite of what Pilates should be. Classes can still be hard and appropriately paced. The cues and form are what makes Pilates hard, not rushing through moves. (Its also physically impossible to do a weighted low squat and a shoulder press within 1 second- let alone safely on a reformer. Why are we doing this?) It seems they all went to the same training class and haven't trained with different instructors so it's a problem across the 6-8 teachers I've tried in the last 3 months. If it weren't for Stacey and Caroline, I'd have moved to a closer studio by now. I hope the instructors undergo more training and are introduced to more than one type of teaching so they develop their own style. People are nice, and they are trying, but they aren't there yet. read more

Oh yes. This is a great Pilates place. There are a couple of parking spots in front of the studio and street parking of course. I loved the music, intensity, and flow of the class. It was definitely hard and challenging but that's what makes it so great. Loved the reformer class with Kemi. She's great at adjustments and encouraging the class individually and as a whole. Check in was super easy. There's an iPad on the wall and you just check in independently and pick out the reformer you want. Theres a nice big mirror the spans an entire wall. Lots of core strength and a couple of cubbies to place your things. Grip socks are not required but I wore them because safety first. Lots of pulses. Can't wait to go again and feel the burn and muscles spasm. read more

I am such a huge fan of Boost! I frequent the Heights location and this one a lot. I visit the River Oaks location specifically for Liz's classes. She has a no-nonsense approach to pilates, her cues are on point, and her classes are challenging but never compromising safety. I highly recommend you try it out! read more

This review is long overdue as I've been coming here for years now. I initially discovered this place through class pass, back in the day when I was physically challenged and working out was a chore to me. I had never done pilates, or heard of a reformer machine, so finishing my first class was a big accomplishment to me. As a beginner, yes you will feel overwhelmed. But the instructors give detailed instructions and each workout is geared to every level (beginners, intermediate, and advanced). There are plenty of mirrors and I find everyone is focused on their own form so there is no need to feel self conscious. The studio has 14 reformer machines and it is always kept clean. There is one bathroom and a water refill station, as well as little cubbies you can store your stuff in. Each instructor has their own distinct styles and music choices so I suggest trying out different ones. I've never had a class/instructor there I didn't enjoy. The only gripe of this location is parking. There is a small, shared private lot and so parking is hard to come by during peak times (particularly the weekends), so I suggest coming early during those times. There is also free street parking on that block as well. Overall, I love Boost for their challenging classes that burn in the best way and I always come out feeling strong. read more

Still love me some Boost! It's more than just core toning! I go to the Upper Kirby & Heights locations as well.

I've tried a plethora of studios and they are all a wild mix of ridiculously challenging, or way too... spiritual? Boost offers challenging workouts that leave me absolutely sore but not so difficult that they become discouraging or unattainable. The cost is also definitely fair. I like to do the monthly packages, then if I want to book any additional classes, they come at the prorated rate of my package! The late policy is a little extreme, you have to cancel many hours ahead if you want to retain the class. The no-show fee is $10. Most of the time though if you text the number, they're very flexible about canceling your class and returning it to you. Some of my favorite instructors are: Elissa, Liz, Wendy, Tuesday, and Juliana read more

I used to really enjoy Boost, but I've been a bit disappointed with some of the more recent classes and instructors. I recently took a class with Jessica--I'm not sure if she's new--but the instruction was lacking. She didn't really explain or demonstrate the moves clearly (or at all), which left most of the group confused. Instead, there was a lot of generic encouragement like "you're killing it," even when it was clear people were struggling to follow. It might be helpful for her to receive some additional training on class structure and how to effectively guide participants through the workout versus just walking around for a pep talk. read more

I have been working-out at Boost for years now. They have a very good level of customer service. Never a disappointment, always go above and beyond if you have any issues. Most of their instructors are exceptional. I can't attest to all of them but I am a fan of Juliana and Kat. Occasionally i step out to experience other instructors. Thank you Nathan and et al! read more

This is my favorite workout, as I get to tackle abs, arms, legs, and glutes - all in just under an hour! I love the variety of instructors too / I find it's fun to mix things up. I leave feeling stronger and proud of myself every time:) read more

If you've ever been interested in taking a pilates class, I highly recommend trying out Boost. They are very beginner friendly while still offering advanced options for those who are more experienced. I used to do pilates years ago, and just picked back up on it mid this year. I was nervous as I haven't been on a reformer in years so it felt brand new to me. On your first class with Boost, you go 10 minutes early and they give you a tour and teach you about the reformer. I've taken different instructors and everyone has been great with energy/motivation while helping on form if needed. Pilates is a low impact exercise but boyyyyy will you feel it. You will shake and feel the burn. I leave class feeling like I'm going to fall over, but that just shows how great of a workout you had. The studio is always clean and organized. I like the abundance of mirrors so you can really see your form and always see the instructor. I will say parking at the River Oaks location is terrible so come early to find a spot! read more

10/10. Every workout has been challenging in a great way. If you're a newbie like me, you'll find the instructors to be detailed and super helpful in guiding you. read more

Liz is my favorite instructor. Her classes made me want to buy my monthly membership! She makes sure you get the best possible workout safely and effectively. You will leave a little sore, but a lot stronger. read more

Had a great first experience at Boost pilates studio. Gracie instructed the class and she was very energetic and motivating! She also provided constructive feedback on my form, which I always appreciate. The workout incorporated muscle groups from the whole body, but we focused on inner thighs. My legs are definitely nice and sore today. It was 50 minutes of intense work but Gracie kept suggesting modifications to make it harder or to ease up if it was too much. She did a great job tailoring it for all levels. I really enjoyed working through the whole body and the playlist through the whole class was a great mix of pop and hip hop that kept me energized and feeling good. The studio itself was well organized, clean and a nice open, light space. One whole wall is covered in mirrors, so you can watch your form and see the instructor no matter where you are. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I'll definitely be coming back for another class! read more

Boost Pilates is hands down THE best studio I've been to in Houston! The place is clean and simple, has all the equipment you need, filtered water fountain and a place to put your stuff. All the instructors are great.. I've never had a bad class! It's challenging but not impossible. The instructors walk around the class regularly to make sure everyone is doing the correct exercise (this alone puts this studio ahead of its competitors!). One of the biggest attractions to this place is that the class sizes are small. The limited number of reformers allows for a more personal experience. They also have classes almost every hour so you're sure to be able to get your workout in. My favorite instructors are Devon, Liz, Isabella and Nathan PROS: clean, spacious and new studio, awesome music, knowledgeable instructors, positive vibes, ample parking, Allegro2 reformers read more

Came here through ClassPass. Had a very effective class on their allegro machine and really felt it in my hamstrings, core, and shoulders/arms the next 2d. We used a small weighted ball as a prop, and that helped make the workout a lot harder (and more effective). There were lots of other "toys" in the box too. Instructor was helpful and walked me thru the machine beforehand. It was a very calm and encouraging environment. Only complaint is that they have limited items like hair ties and no shower. read more

I have really enjoyed Boost Pilates! I am impressed with all of the instructors: Abby, Madeline, Andrew, Morgan, Taylor, Nancy and Isabella to name a few. They are friendly and give you an intense workout with up and down levels to match your fitness ability. I love their music choices as well as they help pump you up for the workout. I would recommend checking out Boost Pilates as your first 2 classes are free so you have nothing to lose! read more

Boost Studios - River Oaks - Pilates Near Me - Houston, Texas

One of my FAVORITE reformer studios! I've been to a lot of reformer classes around HTX and some of them don't quite cut it, but I always leave Boost feeling CHALLENGED & ready to crash on my couch while the soreness sets in! Take one of Isabella's classes if you can, she's awesome!! read more

Boost Studios - River Oaks - Pilates Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been to a few Pilates spots in Houston all of which were pretty good, but I always felt like I wasn't really pushed or made a ton of progress. Well after a single class, I was barely walking out from soreness haha. You can adjust the springs and go at your own pace but the instructors are all super motivating and the routine is always fun and different each time so I always feel challenged. Def recommend if you're serious about Pilates and want to see some progress read more

This is one of my favorite Pilates studio! The location is great and the facility is clean and inspiring! The instructors are all great! I love when Liz gives options on how to make the moves more challenging or a bit easier depending on the target areas of the body! The playlists are always fun and have a good mix of different genres of music. If you're looking for a studio I would recommend Boost - hands down! read more

I love coming to Boost for a good workout. I have taken classes with Gracie & Isabella and they make you sweat your butt off! I have taken pilates before but Boost is a great addition to the Pilates in Houston with their chic modern interior and white allegro machines. The instructors are motivating and overall can't get any better than this. Management is very flexible and very understanding with the busy work schedule - and if you cannot make it just call and plead for forgiveness and credit shall be granted. I'm guessing you can't abuse it but worked once for me :) I am looking forward to trying classes with different instructors as well! read more

I've been going to Boost for a few months now and love it! I have a few regular instructors I go to but have also taken from other and have never had a bad class! There is a great variety of time all throughout the day which also for so much flexibility! The classes are challenging but not impossible. The instructors are all knowledgeable and are allowed to individualize their routines - which is nice because you aren't doing the same repetitive class for months at a time! If you're on the fence, try it! It's 100% worth it! read more

I was on ClassPass for a while trying to find studios I would like and kept coming back to Boost so often I dropped ClassPass in favor of a monthly autopay membership. I enjoy their reformers, particularly the ones at the River Oaks and West U location, I like the interiors and the times offered on their schedule. I appreciate I can go to any studio. At times parking can get difficult at the River Oaks location, but the instructors are understanding and being slightly late doesn't materially change that you're going to get a good workout. The instructors are excellent. Each one brings a different routine and challenge level. Just because one instructor uses lighter spring levels doesn't mean the workout will be easy. Sometimes those are the most difficult. Some of my favorite instructors (I'm listing the ones in which I've attended at least 10+ classes are): Liz, Nancy, Morgan, Devon, Andrew, Ashley, Nicole, Nathan, Isabella (if she's in town). read more

Love Boost!! I attend classes both here and the Heights location. All of the instructors are so kind and talented, and bring their own personal flair to their classes. They are good about giving options for beginner, intermediate, advanced so that I always feel challenged. I have tried many workout studios in the Houston area and feel like Boost has a different vibe because of how genuine and uplifting everyone is. I always feel welcome here. Jenn Kelly, Keely, Kimberly, Stephanie, Natalie and Macy are some of my favorites - but all of the instructors are great!! read more

Great Pilates!! Been going here for two months now and love it. It's a little pricey but worth it for sure for me.

Gracie is the best! I've tried multiple pilates studios, classes and trainers and so far she is the best. Not planning on going anywhere else while she's there. The place is great, I love the atmosphere. Just wish parking would be easier. read more

Boost is my favorite Pilates studio! All of the instructors are amazing! The routines are so fun and make the class go by so fast. Definitely feel sore after a class! read more

Boost Pilates River Oaks. Small cute studio. Not Lagree and not classical. They have so so many classes per day across all the locations. I can always get into a class. I hate studios that only have 5 or 6 classes to go to a day. You can go to all 4 locations at Boost, it is amazing. read more

Awesome instructors. The workouts are challenging and the instructors give options for people from beginner through advanced. I appreciate knowing that I'm going to get a good workout every time I go. read more

Sunday morning pilates with Natalie are one of the highlights of my week! Natalie kicks my butt and somehow seems to make it fun while she's doing it. Take her class- I promise you won't regret it! read more

I love taking classes at Boost! Instructors are awesome. Always very helpful when it comes to form and different weight options for different expletive levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). The classes are always challenging but so fun, such a good workout! read more

There's really nothing better you can do for your body than spend 50 minutes here. All of the instructors are great, the workout is never the same so you can't get bored. Highly recommend!! read more

Just had a kick ass class with Nicole! Can't recommend this place enough, great facility and instructors.

Love this place! Awesome classes and studio. The classes are challenging and will def whip you into shape. You can park anywhere on the corner. Love coming here. read more

Highly recommend! Great Pilates studio in a very convenient spot for my morning works. Classes are challenging and fun. The instructors are constantly changing up the routines so these full body work outs never get boring. The atmosphere is clean and relax and the music plays at a nice level.

Best Pilates studio in Houston! I've been coming here for over 2 years and the classes are still always challenging! All the instructors are friendly and personable. They constantly incorporate new exercises so the classes are always different! read more

Love this studio! All of the instructors are amazing!

Boost is fantastic! I have been avidly working out for years and this is always a challenge for making me stronger. I love it! Robyn and Gracie are awesome! read more

I started going to Boost at the beginning of this year (RO and Heights locations) and had never tried reformer Pilates before. I am a fitness junkie and love workout classes and this one was definitely a challenge! The instructors take the time each class to walk you through the movements and show you the correct form so you don't injure yourself and target the right muscles. Now that I have been going to Boost for 9 months, every class is just as challenging and is an amazing workout that my body never gets used to or bored with. My favorite instructor to go to is Gracie because she always gives a new, fast-paced killer workout and has modifications for all levels of experience. read more

This is the best workout class I've ever taken! I've been coming to boost for a couple of months now and the changes in my body are so rewarding. I took mat Pilates classes before, but the reformer adds such a great challenge and the resistance needed to build my core and muscles. The instructors are so motivating and the playlists are the best! Honestly, the progress I see in myself from these classes is addicting. read more

FAV LOCATION! Cutest studios ever and I love love love the allegro 2 reformers here at boost! ALL instructors are challenging and will push you to break past your own personal goals! If you have an injury, let your instructor know and they will happily make adjustments for you in order to still get your sweat on without causing pain or tension. I have take Nathan, Macy, Will, Gracie, Nina and Nancy's classes here at River Oaks and they all kick booty! Boost studios are also very clean- Love that! 10 for 10, would highly recommend! read more
