Five stars isn't enough for what this studio has done for me!…read more I'll be honest: I used to be a total Pilates skeptic. I always thought that if I wasn't drenched in sweat or gasping for air, it wasn't a "real" workout. I couldn't have been more wrong. I came to IMX Pilates out of necessity. I had surgery for what my doctor described as "the worst type of meniscus tear," and even after a full year of physical therapy, I was still struggling to get back to 100%. I was frustrated and willing to try anything. After hearing several friends rave about how IMX literally fixed their knees, I decided to give their 4-month introductory pass a shot. The results have been nothing short of a miracle. In just four months, my knee has made more progress than it did in an entire year of PT. I finally feel like myself again. And as the absolute icing on the cake? My stomach is flatter and my glutes are more toned than they've been in years. I just renewed my membership because I cannot wait to see what the next four months (and beyond) will do for my body. A huge shoutout to the instructors here--they truly are the BEST. They all have such wonderful, distinct personalities that every class feels fresh and fun. It's impossible to get bored when the energy is this good. Thank you, IMX Pilates, for exceeding every expectation and being even better than the rave reviews I heard. If you're on the fence--especially if you're recovering from an injury--just do it. Your body will thank you!

Honestly, our instructor saved this review - before we had class, we almost walked out because we…read morefelt unwelcome and I would have given it 2 stars. The studio is very pretty - exposed beams, beautiful views of trees, great vibe and nice equipment. When we walked in, the manager? or perhaps owner? asked if we had done reformer Pilates before. I have but my mother hasn't. Regardless, the class was listed as all levels, so I didn't think it mattered. He looked at us like we had 4 heads and proceeded to tell us that she shouldn't have come if she hadn't done it before and he would have to ask the instructor if she could...instruct... my mother (who is in great shape and shouldn't have trouble picking up reformer) - his reasoning: "there are 9 people and that's a lot". I don't think I have felt less welcome in a Pilates studio and I live in LA. Normally people with injuries and at various levels of their fitness journey are welcome. We walked in and my party of 3 was half of the entire room. Luckily the instructor was gorgeous, and amazing, and sweet, and instructed us with ease. Overall the class was good and at the end, the manager ended up giving us a discount - perhaps he could tell how offended I was? Or felt badly? Or maybe he decided to be nice at the end and didn't realize how he came across when we arrived? Regardless, this place IS worth attending, but hopefully this review is read and the manager/owner can make people feel more welcomed in the future.

I 'm writing this review about Stephanie and the Cryoskin 3.0 body tratment, located inside…read moreProformance Pilates. Here's the short version : It really really works and I am thrilled with the treatment, the process and Stephanie. The details; In spite of a very clean diet and regular workouts, I was not able to lose weight gained a few years ago. This treatment is really not about weight loss, it 's about losing inches that so far have not come back. The treatment name sounded like dry ice and freezing, but it's more like a lovely massage that is warm and cold. It's so relaxing that I can't really describe it more than that. The reason I felt compelled to write about it today is that this morning for the first time I looked in the mirror and saw the frame of a body I liked, not a lumpy potato bod. I lost 5 inches in 5 treatments.. and am signing up for more! The facials deserve their own 5 star review and so does Stephanie. Not only is she expert in fitness and treatments, she radiates positive energy and encouragement!

I had an amazing initial impression after being greeted by the friendly front desk and walking through the impeccably clean studio. The amenities were a nice touch with the water refill station, Nespresso machine, and hand towels in the bathroom instead of paper towels. There is also ample parking in the lot right in front of the entrance. My first experience with a reformer machine was for an advanced class elsewhere, so I've been scared of it ever since lol. I wasn't nervous at all in Tatiana's class; she explained each function clearly, and she's quite funny to boot. The class flowed well and I stretched places I didn't know I could stretch. The 50 minutes flew by, and any moves I wasn't familiar with I easily looked to my left or right. It sounds like they have harder/sweatier classes on other days, and this one was a great start!

They require every newcomer to take an introduction to Pilates class (I think even if you're seasoned), so you may find some of the exercises are simple and familiar. The space is very vibrant and comfortable. The actual building is a bit difficult to locate - they have signs around but it's located on the second floor and then entrance is towards the back behind a parking lot. All the staff are very kind, and they have a cute little Nespresso machine / coffee bar you can grab a drink from after.

Ok buckle in and get comfy because this is gonna be a long review. I have always been a notoriously…read morelazy person that will not move unless I absolutely have to. But every few years, I'll start feeling bad about myself, sign up for a gym, and pay for it every month and go once or twice a year. So when my friend asked me if I wanted to do a trial class at OrangeTheory and I loved it and signed up, my husband was very skeptical. That was over two years ago. I'm still consistently going, minus one month where I had some health issues. Let me spill all the deets. There are three plans you can sign up for - 4 classes a month, 8 classes a month or unlimited. Let's get the cons out of the way first. If you sign up for a class and don't cancel more than 8 hours in advance, you either lose the class (if you have the 4/8 class plan) or you have to pay $14 (I think) for the unlimited plan. Honestly, this works in my favor because it's very motivating to go. They also have their own heart rate monitor that connects with their system - you can't use your own monitor. Their monitor is over $100. You don't HAVE to have it, but for me personally, this monitor gamifies the whole workout so I feel like it's a necessity. Now for the actual structure of the workout. You have different zones depending on your heart rate. The zones go from blue to green to orange to red as your heart rate increases. The orange zone is where ORANGETheory gets their name. You can ask them more about the science, I don't want to fake news you. There is a coach and then there's you and other people like you that are not the coach. There are treads, rowers, and the floor. The floor is strength - weights, resistance bands, other things. Usually, you start either on the tread or the floor and then alternate to the other halfway through the class. When you start on the floor, you warm up on the rower. On the tread, there are three categories of you - you are a power walker, jogger or runner. Then there are different levels - base pace, push and all out. Depending on this 3x3 matrix, there are windows of your pace + incline. For example, a power walker's base pace is 3.5 - 4.5 speed and 1-3% incline and their all out is the same pace with a 10% incline. A jogger's base pace would be 4.5 - 5.5 with no incline (don't quote me on these ranges). A push basically pushes you (there are ranges) and all-outs are supposed to kill you. The coach will tell you how long you need to stay in each - for example: 1 minute base, 2 minutes of push and 30 seconds of all out. And will tell you when to switch between each. These ranges are suggestions, the coaches will never call you out if you decide to take it easy some days and go lower than the range. On the floor, you choose the weights or resistance, and there is a screen showing you what workout to do and the range of reps you need to do. The coach will demonstrate the forms and walk around and fix your form if necessary. Sometimes you will go on the rower in between floor exercises. Then there are events and challenges that gamify the whole workout. There is an event called Hell Week for example around Halloween. They are more intense workouts and if you get 4 workouts in an 8 day period, you will get a shirt. These are usually $15 extra, but I always like to sign up for these. There's a workout called Capture the Flag where you and a partner are on the rower and trying to reach certain goals to capture different flags and this one always makes me feel like I"m going to die, but in a good way. There are many many others, and for the single day events, you usually get a metric so you can compare this metric to the next time the same event rolls around to see how much you've improved (or not, which is cool too) I realize it's not for everyone, but for me personally, I (and everyone else who's known me for a long time) can't believe how consistently I work out now. My husband was astounded, and to this day, my friend who dragged me to the trial class is incredibly proud of herself (which she absolutely should be). I at least recommend a trial class (hit me up so I can take you and refer you!). Even if you don't like it, it'll be such a great workout. Also, it's easy to burn 500+ calories in an hour.

I've been an OrangeTheory member for over five years and have worked out at several different…read morestudios. Since moving near San Ramon, I've been attending this location regularly, and unfortunately my experience has been disappointing. The biggest issue is the front desk staff. Most days I walk in without so much as a greeting or acknowledgment. A simple "hello" or welcoming smile goes a long way, but that's consistently been missing here. The atmosphere feels cold and uninviting compared to every other OrangeTheory studio I've visited. I love the OrangeTheory workouts, but the customer service at this studio has made me not enjoy coming anymore. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works on creating a more welcoming experience for members because it's trash here

I am new to fitness classes and new to Pure Barre. I chose Pure Barre after chatting with a friend…read morewho attended classes. I was looking for a cross training activity to help me improve my balance, flexibility, and strength, especially in my core. These classes check all of those boxes! That said, I have been delighted to find such a welcoming place full of capable, friendly, and patient instructors who are willing to help me learn and improve my form. The Pleasanton studio is clean and well organized and it is easy to schedule or change classes through their app. But really, the people who teach the classes, and those who attend them, make a difference with their positivity and encouragement. A bonus benefit (for me at least) is the mental workout I get too. I need to focus and concentrate during the workouts; both on getting my form correct and on the instructions given during the class. I like the variety of class formats offered and the ever-changing exercises done within each class. The variety keeps things fresh and helps me stay engaged and challenged. I want to stay fit and healthy as I age and Pure Barre classes will help me do just that.
