I have done several classes at both studios with different instructors and I have really enjoyed the variety that Citizen Pilates offers. The studios are extremely clean and inviting and the equipment is well maintained. Can't wait to try out the new Garden Oaks location as well! read more

I recently moved to Houston and have been trying out pilates studios to find a good fit. I've been practicing since 2012 and have specific standards and can confidently say that Citizen has met - and even exceeded - mine. It's always nice to have a studio close by, but even better when they know what they're doing. read more

I was intimidated by the idea of pilates at first. Keyword: WAS. I took a leap of faith and took a class with Frances. She made it super easy, broke down the reformer for a pilates-noob like myself and I understood everything. The pace of a pilates class is easy, yet focused, and calming. It's customizable to your fitness level, which is amazing. I love it, and can't believe it took me so long to try it. This studio is awesome and has a great atmosphere. I will keep coming back! read more

I've enjoyed the mixture of jump classes and reformer. It's not the standard full reformer though still very functional with all the add ins you need. The variety has been great and each class equally challenging. read more

I have been going to Citizen for over a year and have loved every second of it. It is a workout I look forward to, not one I have to talk myself into! The instructors and staff are all very kind and give a wonderful, personal "hello" every time you come in. I personally love the Jumpboard Cardio class, Alex is amazing! Classes start and end on time and their schedule has lots of options for any schedule! Do yourself a favor and take a class, you will be hooked! read more

Sunday classes with Andres are great! I've gone to a few other instructors at Citizens and Andres' classes are by far my favorite. I do wish the instructors here would make at least the occasional individual adjustment, but I understand that the classes are bigger here so they probably just have a policy of not trying to correct class goers. read more

Transitioning to a new studio after canceling my last place and the transition has been so smooth! Instructors are so friendly and keep a positive fun environment! Extremely happy with my decision to move my membership to citizen Pilates! read more

Updated Review: I have now been working out at Citizen Pilates for over 2 years and love it! Just try it!

This place is the most Fabulous place to take Pilates classes!! It is life changing!! The staff is sensational!!

Citizen is my favorite reformer pilates studio in Houston, as an avid fitness person and after trying multiple studios in Houston I always return here. All of the instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging. Love the atmosphere and community here, can't go wrong if you are a beginner or expert. read more

I started doing reformer pilates by taking some private lessons with a friend who was getting her instructors certificate. When I fell in love with it and wanted to start going to a studio full time, my friend recommended Citizen Pilates and I'm SO glad she did. The instructors and staff are always friendly and welcoming. The classes are small (7 machines) so the instructors can make sure you are doing each movement correctly (thankfully, cause a lot of the time I am NOT) and I always leave feeling like I got a well rounded workout. If I had to make a complaint it would be that it's sometimes hard to get into classes, however, I've found that if you put yourself on the wait list for a class, even if it's full, you usually end up getting in. They're also opening two additional locations this year so hopefully that will help. read more

I've really enjoyed every class at Citizen Pilates! Both locations are awesome. The studio is intimate and all of the instructors I have met are welcoming and helpful. For my first class, they took the time to explain the machine and in every class, they help with alignment. Their customer service is top notch and I appreciate how friendly and supportive everyone has been! I hope to continue classes there for a long time. Each instructor has their own approach but all of the classes have left me sore, stretched, and fulfilled. Make sure to try a few of the instructors - you just might vibe with some more than others solely based on personal preference. read more

One of my favorite Pilates studios, with hands-down my favorite instructors (Kyra and Alex are my personal favorites, but really all are sweet and encouraging)! The class sizes are smaller than other studios in town, which can make it harder to get in, but also allows you to get more specific feedback during class (awesome!). They have great changing rooms too. Will keep going here for years to come. read more

I love Citizen! It has a great vibe and it's easy to schedule classes with their app. I feel comfortable even as a beginner and love how I feel after each class. Looking forward to being a regular! read more

With 300 + classes under my belt, Citizen Pilates is still my favorite Pilates studio in Houston. And the new Garden Oaks studio is a nice addition to the locations around town. The studios still have certain Covid precautions in place and are always extremely clean and well maintained. While I have favorite instructors and classes that I frequent, all the instructors are well trained and knowledgeable, and the class atmosphere is always fun and light. The reformers are custom made for Citizen Pilates, and once you try their reformers most others will feel subpar. If you have been wanting to try Pilates and are intimidated, try Citizen and you will experience why it is highly rated and loved by so many. The Citizen Pilates instructors will orient you during your first session, and you can even take private classes to help you get started. read more

This place has changed my life! I was intimidated by Pilates but everyone at Citizen is super welcoming and friendly, and the instructors are amazing. Now I'm hooked. They offer a good variety of reformer classes for all levels. read more

Houston's best Pilates reformer studio! The Best instructors that take time explaining the moves and the pace is slow and steady to ensure maximum results. Keep up the great work! read more

Having only ever done a few private lessons prior to attending Citizens Pilates, I found the classes an easy segue from my little experience. The multiple class times are incredibly convenient and I love earning extra points for running to/from class - motivates me to do it as often as I can. The class size is intimate and allows the instructors to critique form when needed. The music is always upbeat and never overly loud. I'm certainly going to keep going :-) read more

I was looking for a way to step up my routine and I found it at Citizen Pilates. I have some major issues in my spine that require I maintain a strength in my legs and core or stop being active. I'm an experienced yoga practitioner and I've been supplementing with weight lifting the last two years. I felt like I kind of plateaued... I just wasn't getting stronger. Someone suggested I try Pilates. I tried out a few studios around town and found a home at Citizen. It's a small studio so you have to plan your classes(the good ones fill up) but they have great reformers and the instructors are able to really watch out for their students and give valuable suggestions in the small classes. The energy is upbeat and the instructions are clearer than any other studio I've tried. I'm greeted by name and I leave feeling like I've done 2 hrs of yoga + gym in only 45 mins. I feel my core getting stronger. After 4 classes at Citzen, I fluidly just nailed a chin stand in my yoga practice.... something I've been trying to do for months. If you're looking to step up your yoga practice, I recommend Pilates. AND.... If you're looking for Pilates, I recommend Citizen. read more

I love this studio so much. It's the most diverse and inclusive spot I've ever been for Pilates. I also love that every workout is different. Def recommend! read more

Citizen is absolutely wonderful! LOVE all of the instructors, the atmosphere is friendly & inclusive, and everybody is so welcoming and encouraging. They even offer rewards & discounts for coming to class! I've been coming here 6-7 days a week for over a year, & have never left feeling bored or unchallenged. So if you're looking for a butt-kicking workout in a positive environment, then Citizen is it! read more

Citizen Pilates is a one-of-a-kind reformer studio in Houston. 2 years ago, a friend and I got set up on ClassPass and started making our way through Houston fitness studios trying to find out what we liked. We really enjoyed reformer pilates and tried many different studios but quickly realized our top choice was always Citizen. Fast forward to now and we love it just as much as ever! There is virtually no difference in the two (for now) locations, as the atmosphere is the same and the team travels between both locations frequently. The vibe at Citizen is one of acceptance, no matter who you are, and when I walk in I feel like the people working there are genuinely happy to see me and to teach. The instructors are helpful for beginners and offer advancements for experienced clients and they encourage you to push to your limits without being pushy. The mantra of "this is your class, make it what you need today" is much more effective for me than anyone who pushes too much or uses tough love, and every single instructor at Citizen follows this mantra. Each instructor offers something a little different and I get a great workout every time. Class sizes are a little small so buy a class pack and sign up in advance using their app. Try them out, you won't regret it! read more

See all

I have been doing Pilates for years but just recently started going to Citizen Pilates. All of the instructors are very well trained and extremely nice. They make sure you do every move correctly for maximum outcome and safety! I love it at both locations! read more

A year ago, I tried my first reformer class at Citizen and never looked back. I have tried every work out known to man- trampoline, boot camp, hot yoga....and this is the first one I have loved. I quickly found out after starting that I was pregnant, and the instructors helped me with modifications when they were needed, and I was able to work-out until 36 weeks. I'm so happy to be back on the reformer and feel great. I can't say enough great things about how the reformer has functionally changed my body, and credit Citizen pilates and the caring and knowledgeable staff! read more

I have done pilates before but this was my first time doing it in a group setting. I tried the 3 class starter pack and absolutely loved so much so that I now have a 20 class pack! Each instructor has been so different and engaging...and I feel mega strong already! read more

Welcoming atmosphere and super friendly instructors . The small class sizes foster a more personal approach to your work out

I'm so happy I found Citizen Pilates! I am new to Houston and was looking for a new workout. The class sizes are intimate and the staff is very encouraging. If you are looking for a reformer pilates studio - check them out! read more

I took some 101 classes and now the reformer fitness classes are part of my weekly routine. I've taken classes from several instructors. While they are all great and each have their own style, Bailey, Maggie and Alex are my go-to's. I highly recommend trying classes with as many as you can to fully find a class that fits you. The studio has ample parking for those who don't live in the neighbor or you get points by walking/riding your bike to class. It is clean. Friendly tip, help it stay that way and not smell like feet by wearing sticky socks to class. They don't require it but it is "highly encouraged". read more

Love this studio! I had never tried Pilates reformer and had trouble sticking to a workout before, but the great energy of all the instructors and small class sizes so you can get one on one instruction makes me love it and causes me to keep coming back!!! I have now been going to citizen Pilates for over a year and plan on going for many more!! read more

I am new to reformer pilates and have tried several classes around town recently trying to find the right place for me. Citizen Pilates is it! They have two studios, the instructors and staff are very welcoming and helpful and the workout is great! I have been challenged by multiple instructors and feel I get a consistent good workout each time. I recommend you give it a try! read more

I started going to Pilates classes at Citizen a year ago. It has been such a great experience! Classes with Bailey are challenging but so worth it. I have seen such encouraging changes in my body and strength through this year. I am always sore because the classes are always changing and targeting different muscles. So so recommend it! read more

I've been to several Pilates studios in the area and Citizen is hands down my favorite. The amazing owner, staff, and instructors are all so friendly and welcoming. I took classes here through my pregnancy up until my due date and every instructor was wonderful about modifying the exercises for me as needed. After a c-section and 8 weeks of not being able to work out, I don't know if I ever would have gotten back in to the routine without the BYOBaby classes and the opportunity to work out with other new moms with my newborn sleeping in the bouncer in front of my reformer. If you are a Pilates pro, they will challenge and help make you better. If you are new to Pilates or haven't been able to work out in a while, they will help you every step of the way. read more

I've been coming to Citizen for over 5 years now. It's a great environment, the instructors are always friendly and the workouts are always challenging. read more

I can walk to this studio. The instructors always give a full body workout and the culture is so welcoming and friendly. Every class is different and each instructor provides options to custom the workout so you get what you need out of it. It is easy to schedule class with the multiple locations and lots of times available. The owner, Jess, has done a wonderful job creating a place that's welcoming for people of all fitness levels and ages. I highly recommend this place, whether you're a beginner or have been doing Pilates for years. read more

Love this place, the instructors are great and make sure you get a good sweat on with innovative moves on the reformer! :)

Love this studio! I've taken reformer classes at a few places around Houston, but I regularly come to Citizen because it is friendly and unintimidating. (No one is trying to look like an Instagram model here.) The teachers are great -- very positive and upbeat with challenging routines that are always changing. The studio has taken several COVID precautions and I always feel safe during class - the machines are comfortably spread 6 feet apart, and there's no sharing any equipment. I also appreciate that they offer several class times throughout the week, especially on Sundays, which is sometimes the only free time I have to work out! read more

I love that there are 2 studios, a bunch of different instructors and variety of workouts! Low-impact movement with awesome results (think longer leaner muscles) and a strong core. read more

Always get a great workout at Citizen Pilates. It's the most friendly studio in the city, and everyone is so welcoming and accommodating. It's what keeps me coming back again and again. Simply the best! read more

Great work out! Small class sizes. Very nice and helpful instructors. Online classes are also really good.

There are so many things you could do here! Strength, cardio, flexibility! You name it, on top of that every class have a different vibe and flow. Fast, high intensity, dynamic, static, low intensity, slower pace. Once you find which style you prefer you're going to love it! I can't express enough but the friendly and positive vibe from the staffs are outstanding! read more
