Interesting. The building is in renovation, so the creep factor is high. Once you overcome the horror of the building and walk into the well equipped (but small) studio, you are fine. It's a franchise and each location has its quirks. If you have never done reformer pilates - TAKE YOUR TIME. It can be intimidating. Once I got myself into the studio, it was an interesting experience from there. Expect everyone to be delicately lean and know what they are doing (to a fault) when it comes to pilates. Other skills... well, we all are different. As a latino, I felt odd. As a 12 year zumba instructor, a lot of the mechanics were second nature to me, albeit the instructor for the day tried a "little too hard. Kudos for keeping safety at the forefront. It's not cheap, so if you are looking for price, this isn't the place for you. Given the drive and off of Route 9 (MY NEMESIS), I have some considerations. But I'd like to at least try the 4 pack one on one training sessions to get into the groove and see if this is something I can commit to longer term. As with any other program - work your way into it, unless you are one of the young superfreaks of nature (me, 35 years ago!). Pilates can be a gentle and effective way to strengthen, tone and lengthen, improving posture, balance and overall functional fitness activities (aka life in general). I have mixed feelings but I wasn't totally put off (chime in here F45 Wakeforest, NC area...). It's a logistics thing. If you are mainstream, middle income - you'll find yourself a great place to take your fitness to a new challenged. read more

This was my first pilates class ever...so i thought to go to the closest location to me at Club Pilates Framingham. Boy was I wrong going there! I attended an intro class, so the instructor essentially shows you all the basics of the reformer as well as some ground exercises. Tammy, my instructor, was condescending and rude. She kept laughing at me and the other girl in the intro class. I thought i was going crazy but she felt it too! I felt really self conscious the whole time and discouraged to go back unfortunately. Do better Club Pilates or you'll continue to lose people that just want to exercise and feel good about themselves. read more

Absolutely love the classes and instruction is clear and easy to follow. Only wish it were a larger space with more reformers. Classes tend to fill up quickly and limited space makes it hard to get in. read more

Club Pilates - Pilates reformer - Pilates Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

Club Pilates is a national franchise chain of Pilates studio's so any review can only be about that particular location at that particular time. Your experience will really depend on how you gel with the instructors. My advice for a good experience is below. In a classical studio you would have to take several private classes first before you are allowed to start group classes. This is a good idea because doing the exercises properly is key to getting the best results from Pilates. During a group class, no instructor has the time to make sure each student are doing each exercise totally correctly. By doing a combination of group and private classes, you will have the best ROI as you get started. Exercise science suggests going 2-3x a week is best so that your muscles have time (at least 24hr) to recover and consolidate between classes. Eat a fitness bar, and drink something with carbs after/during class. Club Pilates is pretty conservative about what movements are done in level 1.0 classes. After about 30-90 level 1.0 classes you should be ready to consider and benefit from higher level classes. As if 2Q21, This location offers reformer flow in levels 1.0/1.5/2.0 and everyday and occasionally CP cardio (adding rebounding on the reformer) and CP Control (adding some barre movements). There is a natural conflict between offering reformer classes at all levels, and offering the alternative classes. But remember with Pilates, if it's easy, you are probably doing it incorrectly, and a slight change that increases/decreases mechanical advantage can make the exercises as hard/easy as you want. CP cardio varies with instructors, with some instructors going for a sweaty workout with a burn, while others do a more Pilates style workout that leaves you dewy. read more

Went to a level 2 class. Have done Pilates for years but not at this studio. Wasn't aware of their strict guidelines. The instructor was rude and made me feel extremely uncomfortable when I entered class. Asked if I signed a waiver and ignored me the entire class . Two kind woman beside me helped me change reformer throughout class. Will never come back. read more

I have been on a quest to get a summer body since the end of July 2017. As a male, I am not the demographic for pilates. That does not mean that I have not been welcomed, accepted, and challenged physically. I basically live here now as I go at least 5 times a week. The studio is super clean. The staff and trainers are friendly and fun. Even when we are suffering through some of the exercises, they keep it light and us focused. I am also getting results. After only 4.5 months, my abs have started to re-emerge. I have definition in my quads and calves that I have never had, even when I was with a personal trainer at Gold's. read more

Beautiful, bright, clean facility. Staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Trainer Amy was amazing. I had tweaked a muscle or nerve and she made sure everything I was doing felt comfortable and safe. Modifications were suggested. I used to laugh at Pilates until I did a workout and realized I have horrible core and upper arm strength. You really feel the burn during a Pilates workout! Loved using the Reformers. Would definitely recommend this studio to anyone interested!! read more

Worst customer service I have ever encountered. The studio manager would rather cancel your membership than call you to address a concern.

I love Club Pilates Framingham! I've been going 8 months and switched to unlimited and wish I could go every day. Every instructor is great, and all the staff is friendly and helpful. Thank you for helping me live exercise again. read more

Buy Beware!! If you choose to go here, please make them give you a written copy of their contract before you sign anything. They tell you there is a 30 day cancellation policy, then the fine print offers up a hefty $100 fee to cancel. read more

I've been going to Club Pilates since it opened a few months ago and I absolutely love it. I go twice a week and it definitely has helped my posture and flexibility improve and has helped with my back pain and building muscles. I always feel fantastic when I leave Club Pilates, and I believe that regular pilates classes have reduced the frequency of my tension migraines as well. Club Pilates offers a lot of different classes. The reformer flow classes are my favorite, but I have tried the cardio ones (involving jumping on a spring board) and the center and balance ones focusing on stretching and flexibility that they just added. They use a lot of different tools, like Bosu balls, TRX straps, and stretchy bands in addition to the reformers. If you've taken mat pilates, it is very different! All of the instructors at Club Pilates have different styles, so it can take a little while to find an instructor that suits you and what you are looking for. When I first started, I was really intimidated by the reformers but all of the instructors go out of their way to help you understand their cues. Denise and Tammy's classes are really intense and fast paced and always different every time. If you like to mix it up and don't like routine, their classes might be perfect for you! I am a slow processor and it takes me a while to understand verbal cues, so fast paced classes aren't my thing. Cilla is my favorite instructor. Her classes run at a more relaxed pace and focus heavily on building core strength. Because they are more routine (although not always the same, she adds new exercises as well as familiar ones) I feel less panicky and less worried about not knowing what is coming next. She'll have us practice the same excercise for a month and then add on or change it the next month to make it more challenging, which provides a nice progression and I really feel like I'm making progress. She and Amy are both really good at coming up with modifications if you have pain or limitations. I also really like Jess' teaching style. She is really funny and takes the time to stop to help if you're stuck on an exercise or it doesn't feel right. When I haven't been able to perform an exercise correctly in class, Jess has given me advice on moves I can practice at home to help me advance. I can't recommend Club Pilates enough! Oh, if you're an educator, ask about their teacher discount too! read more

The instructors are great. I would give a five star but their App is difficult to work with and won't give you access to member credits until your actual billing date of that month for thirty days. Even though the schedule is posted mid-month of previous month , it won't let you sign up until you are eligible. If you are limited to evening classes and 4 per month.. their app is frustrating. Most of my first choice were filled. Talked to staff member and it was suggested I buy 8 per month. Not helpful. Otherwise stuck with being on waiting list. I had 3 on waiting list for next month. Last week was only class I could get. Switched to ones I didn't want. Still one left on waiting list ..days later. .My advice, allow people to sign up for ones they want without billing cycle credit, add more level one classes. Have more proactive way to move up to higher class levels when ready. And change software app. read more
