Alright, so I wanted to get into reformer pilates because well who doesn't right now? I tried out Solidcore for a couple of months and had such a terrible experience I was super turned off from pilates altogether Someone recommended C2 to me and I gave it a try via classpass. I cannot recommend this studio enough. The team there is very knowledgeable and super quick to help me with adjustments, etc. to make sure that I can have a workout that is intense, but safe and balanced for me and my body. I'm never afraid to ask for adjustments or corrections on my form because the team here is so kind and encouraging. I look forward to my classes here every week and i highly recommend checking them out! read more

C2 Body - Pilates Near Me - Milton, Massachusetts

For the class structure & studio, I would give it 4-5 stars. This 2 star rating is for the instructor, Vania Chan. I want to preface this review by saying that I am still very much a beginner at reformer, and have taken 5 classes at the other C2 studio in Dedham and have always had a positive experience there. Being that I am relatively new, I'm very much happy to get pointers & corrections on my technique. However, my experience with Vania bordered on being singled out and almost embarrassed. When doing leg exercises & correcting me on my form, she made a comment about how my "inner thighs are really weak." Later she corrected me on my tailbone placement & made it known to me that she was using me as a demo because my form was the most incorrect out of everyone else's. Like ok??? I didn't sign up for this to be compared to other people in the class who different levels of experience. Shortly after, she makes a comment to the class saying "some of you have more cushion on your body so it's harder to locate the tailbone." I was shocked. I am a size 6-8, & have a curvier body type. It is NEVER okay in my book to comment on other people's body types, especially in a class like this. She finally stopped when I told her I felt singled out, but the damage was already done. For the rest of the class, she proceeded to make comments about how we "shouldn't feel embarrassed to make mistakes" and how she has "never felt shame" being corrected & was not a natural at Pilates herself. Regardless of her intention, these comments were extremely out of line and went beyond simple constructive corrections. Needless to say, I will not be returning. I have never felt so bad about myself in a fitness studios until now. read more

I took one barre class here through ClassPass on a Sunday morning. The class was totally full, which makes me think you should definitely reserve a place. Pros: - Self check-in on iPad when you arrive. - Bathroom was nice and clean, and fully stocked with little amenities and toiletries. - Music was overall motivating, but there were some gaps between songs. Cons: - The instructor seemed very distracted before class. When I mentioned it was my first time at the studio, she just told me to make sure I had checked in. I had to ask about what equipment to get. - Class began 5 mins late, but still ended "on time." - There were no adjustments or checking in with individual people during class. Especially as my first time there, I had no idea if I was doing some of the moves correctly. There were a number of times I definitely could've used some assistance on form. - It could've been my imagination, but the instructor kept putting her hair up and taking it back down, and looking at herself a ton in the mirror. Maybe she was just checking her form? But it almost seemed like she was more into her own workout than leading others'. I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately don't think I'll be back. On to the continued search for good barre studios in the area... read more

As an experienced pilates, dance, and fitness instructor, I can tell you that this studio is the best! I tend to be critical when it comes to instruction and I have to say that these instructors are awesome. They have a mix of backgrounds...physical therapy, dance, and personal training so there is an instructor for you no matter what your goals and needs are. C2's Barre class is by far the most intense workout around. Some classes are too slow or too "dancey". Their class has the perfect blend of conditioning, ballet, pilates, and it even has a cardio component! It's everything you want in a work out. Great location in South Boston - a short walk to the Seaport area, Broadway shops, and Southie beaches. I love this place!! read more

It's 2 days later and I'm still limping. I signed up for the beginner's package - $49 for 5 classes, and I think that's a great deal to try it out. If I'm this sore from one, I can't wait to see how my body will change after 5. The only thing I didn't love was I felt kind of lost in the crowd in the class. It was my very first time trying barre and I got thrown right in the mix without the instructor asking if it was anyone's first time or coming over to offer any help with form, etc. She was also having trouble with her mic, so it was really hard to hear her and I had to figure out what we were doing by watching the quick-moving others in the class who had obviously been doing it for a while. I was also stationed at the bar in the middle of the room, which unlike the rest of the bars doesn't have a mirror so you can't check your own form. I'd definitely try it again, even if I didn't already buy a package deal. It may have just been an off day and I still d got an incredible workout out of it. read more

This was my first barre class, and I did Beat Barre and it was AMAZING!! I will be feeling my legs and core for the rest of the day so I will continue to burn more calories which is what I wanted. My instructor, Rachel, was fantastic!! She teaches the 6am class and she makes you work and feel good. Music had me motivated to keep going. No matter your fitness level, you can keep up. I do more weight lifting in my other workouts so this was a different change for my muscles, but still a great workout because they were worked differently. I'm glad I went and the next time I'm in town, I will do it again!! read more

I take C2 Beatbarre classes through class pass, and it's definitely one of my favorites. I normally don't love Barre classes because while they are hard, they are also kind of boring. Beatbarre is anything but boring! The instructors play upbeat music (one class was all Lady Gaga!) and take you through a challenging but fun workout. The two instructors I have taken classes with are very welcoming and helpful to newcomers. I will definitely be coming to C2 as much as class pass will allow! read more

I'm not an avid review writer, but this place really deserves one. I was in a bit of a workout 'slump' when a friend and I decided to try something new. One BeatBarre class and I was hooked. I'm not a dancer, yogi or pilates aficionado -- but somehow, this class takes elements from each of those things and turns it into something fun, fresh and totally energizing. The beginners packages make it easy to get started, and the instructors are clearly professional. I also tried their Reformer Pilates classes and left feeling strong and very sore. Highly recommended! read more

C2 Pilates is the BOMB. Most invigorating workout I've done, period. You'll love it if you have a dance or yoga background, and you'll love it the same if you're just trying to slim down and tone up. It's not like Pilates at the gym....the instructors are seasoned experts and make the exercises very deliberate, safe, and fun. Try the BARREroom class.. read more

I've had back problems for years, which often became debilitating as an avid golfer. I usually couldn't play 2 days in a row, and practicing wasn't even an option. Therapy, yoga, heat, ice...nothing worked until my fiancé got me into Pilates at C2 a few months ago. Last weekend, I went on a golf trip and played 3 straight days of 36-holes a day...and felt absolutely fine at the end. I'm back to playing and practicing multiple times per week completely pain free...and may have even added a few yards. I can't recommend C2 enough, not just for golfers but anyone looking to improve their overall health and workout regimen. Thanks again, CC! read more

Still loving these guys after a few months. I take the most classes with Kara, Stephanie and Carolyn. In that order. Mostly due to my schedule. Three consecutive days of classes have left me with this observation ; Using the benefit multiple of teachers is so important in Pilates. Each one giving you something a little different to work on there are so many cues that you can use for the same exercises that using multiple teachers is really the best way to learn fully how to do it. When I first started doing Pilates It took me a year to learn how to do elephant! Simple exercise right? Only when someone used that Magic cue that made me get it did I realize that that's just Pilates you have to mix it up and see different people and you will get something new from each of them. You have to put in the time, and make that commitment if you want the full benefit. Doing a simple exercise correctly is so rewarding. even the most basic Pilates reformer exercise can be advanced with the proper instruction. Special shout out today to Stephanie for just crushing it. read more

I just took my first class at C2, Beatbarre, and it was a blast! Unlike anything I have ever done before. The teacher was such a sweetheart and so positive throughout the class. Even with her soft voice she pushed me and made me want to work hard. I definitely cannot wait to go back. Hoping to try the pound class next! read more

Very good workout!! I am a Tracy Anderson addict but this class gives Tracy a run for her money when it comes to bottom half workouts! The instructors are very knowledgable, very attentive, and offer corrections without calling out one person specifically. My advice is to make a reservation because there is a very limited amount of space. I didn't know how these guys made a profit with how little space there was inside, but when I learned classes were $25 a pop, I learned! read more

I am a believer!!! Other barre classes in the area are overcrowded and you don't feel like you are getting a workout. C2 is amazing. I have only been to 4 classes so far and already notice a difference in my body. The workout is intense. The last class I went to, my legs were so sore I could barely walk for 2 days!! The instructors are super friendly and helpful. The studio is really classy, comfortable. My only gripe is that it is SO expensive! I know all trendy workouts are, but I just can't afford to pay that much. So I think for now it will have to be a "treat" once every few weeks. Bummer. read more

I love this place!! I have never been a huge fan of workout classes but gave C2 Pilates a shot being in such a convenient location in South Boston. The instructors are great, switching from the barre to weights to balls makes the workout fly by. I feel great every time I leave. Only downside is the COST, I will not be able to continue going unless they offer more online deals, this place is too expensive to become a habit. I hope the management realizes they would have an even greater fan base if it was more affordable! read more

I'm hooked! I have been going on and off for the past year and it keeps getting better. Each instructor takes the time to explain each exercise for the new people, offers modifications and shows the correct form. I really enjoy that they change up the routines and music so it always feels fresh. I haven't had a bad experience with any of the instructors but Rachel is my favorite for barre and Jamie's cardio core and poundfit express are a great workout. The only reason it loses a star is the price. It's a little too expensive to keep up on a regular basis so I alternate b/w that and my neighborhood gym. I definitely noticed a difference after a few classes. I would definitely recommend! read more

Signed up for a few private Pilates classes a year ago and I have been hooked ever since. I have serious back issues and with each workout I can feel the relief because I am tightening my core. The instructors are great, it's a handy location and I think it's well worth the money. read more

The BeatBarre and PoundFit classes are amazing. You feel sore after every class and they really kick your butt. I love the moves because they're all about strengthening and toning. All the instructors are great but Eliza N. is the best barre instructor I've ever had!--Definitely take a class with her! read more

I've taken a lot of barre classes at a lot of studios. BeatBarre is an excellent class! It's challenging but doable. Carolyn, the instructor, found me a spot at the barre where I could see her so I could follow the moves, and she moved around the room to demonstrate moves so everyone could follow along. The studio itself is charming: not sleek and modern but warm and eclectic. read more

While the instructors are knowledgeable and energetic, the owner is condescending and rude to clients. I paid to drop in for a class and then signed up for a class the following week online. Apparently, I used the new customer promotion twice. The owner called me and accused me of having set up 3 different accounts under 3 different e-mails. I asked the owner to clarify what e-mails I had used as I only have 1, and he could not provide me with anything other then my legitimate e-mail. He made me feel as if I was scamming his company, rather than if I was a valuable customer. He then proceeded to hang up the phone on me before ending our conversation politely. There are plenty of barre studios in Boston and even in Southie. I plan on purchasing a large package from another local studio that values their customers in all aspects and will not be returning to Beat Barre due to this unacceptable treatment. read more
