The studio is beautiful, very clean and professional with many levels of yoga offered. (All experience levels are welcome). They offer a variety of classes including Hot 26/2, Hot 26/2 with music, slow-mindful flows to full blown kick your butt Pilates workouts. If you are coming for the Hot yoga be prepared. Come well-hydrated and with a large bottle of water to drink during the class. Bring your yoga mat, a towel to cover your mat, and comfortable exercise clothes. I usually wear leggings and a tank top. Many men just wear shorts and lots of women wear a sports bra and shorts. The hot yoga classes end with a cool lavender infused towel at the end of every class! After class, the locker rooms have showers (which is needed after hot yoga) and the lobby is full of stunning plants (which are for sale). In closing, I feel so blessed to have this studio nearby. I have now been going since the day they opened in Jan 2023 and I am beyond hooked. I get a true natural high after each class. Great vibes all around !

I have been attending Club Pilates in Charlottesville for 2 years …read more I'm giving this review as a client and a licensed physical therapist. This studio is highly professional, inspiring and fun! I cannot say enough superlatives about the manager Juanita Franke ! She is extremely professional, engaging , kind and generous . Her mastery in anatomy , physiology and exercise science is exemplary! I love attending her classes ! She explains the exercises so well and clearly , as well as the benefits and physiology of w he at she is doing . As a client and a PT every session with her is a party for me . The majority of the instructors at this studio are also highly professional , knowledgeable, motivational and engaging . Some newer instructors require more supervision and training in my opinion but as I said the vast majority of them are extremely qualified and well versed in exercise science and quite creative in their approach . Especially notable in addition to Juanita , are Chloe, Sofia and Wendy . Pilates is a great way to keep in shape in a very fun way . I hope I can continue this wonderful exercise modality forever and I highly recommend this studio in Charlottesville under the masterful management of Juanita Franke .

Her teachers really understand biomechanics and how to work with a range of clients. This is so much more than just a pilates studio, it's a movement experience. After you have your postural analysis, I guarantee you'll feel like you're having a completely different conversation with your own body. I practice yoga daily in addition to strength training, plyometrics, and other forms of exercise. I thought I felt good until I got done with my analysis. My mind is blown to realize how my habitual movement patterns have caused pockets of tension in my body (that I didn't even recognize were there!!). The private sessions are worth every penny. Literally, EVERYONE could benefit from a visit to Posture. Old, young, fit, well, ill....trust me, just GO.

Another spot I was so excited to see come to Charlottesville! I have been to several of the DC…read morelocations, so was very excited to try out one of the "community" classes in cville as the new instructors finish up their training. My class was with Megan W, who did an amazing job with the class. Since it was a training class, there were only 6 of us, so she was able to give each of us a ton of attention individually to make sure we were doing the moves correctly. This class is done on a Pilates mega former. Instead of trying to move quickly like with other classes, the goal is to move as slowly as possible and really feel the resistance. It's a low impact, high intensity workout that will leave you sore for days in the best way possible. I can't wait for this spot to fully with all the instructors fully trained!

If you're looking for a fitness program, I recommend you avoid [solidcore] and try one of the many other gyms in the area. First and foremost, I could never find a regular coach to work with. The turnover is rapid, with coaches going to other branches or disappearing entirely. Google "buzzfeed solidcore ceo harassment" and you will understand why. The exercise routine itself quickly became repetitive. It was the SAME situations targeting the SAME muscles, again and again, even if the class title was different. Whether it was "leg wrap & chest" or "hamstrings & arm wrap", I found myself doing the same movements. Needless to say, I ended up with an injury. After a dozen classes where I sometimes spent over 20 minutes doing planks, I got an inflamed bursa. [solidcore] then delivered their final insult: I asked to cancel my account, only to be told that there is a 30-day cancelation requirement. I am now suffering from pain, unable to exercise, and [solidcore] will charge my card for around $200 for classes that I cannot attend. Avoid [solidcore]. There are many great options in North Virginia. Don't risk your health for a fad.
