I cannot say enough great things about Sara -- she is truly a phenomenal Pilates instructor. From the moment I started taking her classes, everything changed. She challenges you in all the right ways, and thanks to her, my posture has completely transformed and I'm in the best shape I've been in for years. Her classes are dynamic, thoughtful, and expertly designed. You can tell she puts so much care into every session. She knows exactly how to push you without overwhelming you, and she always explains the "why" behind the movement, which has helped me build not just strength, but body awareness. I'll admit, I hesitated to write this review because I didn't want to make it even harder to get a spot--but I can't keep it to myself. Everyone deserves to know how amazing she is. If you're lucky enough to grab a spot in Sara's class, don't think twice. She's the best. read more

Okay so I do Pilates every morning at home and getting on a reformer has been on my list for a while! Since I am a plus sized gal who's over 6ft I did have a few anxieties going into class but they were quickly settled. I did the intro class and it was so informative with an easy flow and great instruction. The best thing about Pilates is the total body workout and the reformer forces you to work your core like crazy!! While the intro class is free, classes are about $40 each with membership options ranging depending on frequency and location. I recommend Pilates to everyone and now definitely will recommend CP so everyone can be a Pilates Hottie! read more

Great studio - highly recommend! I was interested in trying Pilates for awhile but very nervous to try, intimidated by the equipment and the fact I was not in the best shape. I went for my intro class and fell in love with it! At my first class I told the instructor it was my first class ever and she was so great with me during the class to make sure I was following along and understood what to do. She made me so comfortable (thanks Jessica!). I have gone consistently since and mostly go during the week with Sarah. She is awesome! Her classes are always great and she offers reinforcement and gentle corrections and reminders to make sure we get the most out of our session. If you're thinking of trying Pilates and this location - do it!! You will love it too!! read more

Stopped in for a class after I missed the one at orange theory. Just wanted a workout. It ended up being an interesting, short class. The service was awkward to say the least. When class started there were three open spaces and the girl gave me such an attitude about taking one of the spots. I never felt a friendly vibe. Very mechanical. Anyways I appreciated how their studio was neat and clean, unlike most places I've been recently that just have crud in all crevices. read more

Cancellation policy is terrible. All done online which is not always easy if convenient. Front desk is not always available. Owner refuses to communicate with you and instead uses the young girls who work there. read more

Sarah is a fantastic instructor! Her classes make you sweat and feel like you're getting your moneys worth! Nothing but good things!

Club Pilates has been one of the best strength and flexibility training experiences I have had. Their instructors provide valuable insights into form, and they are extraordinarily able to focus on each person in the class to make sure they are using the equipment effectively. They ensure clients are maximizing the training and the safety of each individual using the equipment. I highly recommend a membership! read more

I tried the intro class with Cathy and it was great. The studio is a little intimidating when you first walk in because of all the machines and the equipment but Cathy did a great job explaining everything and how each should be used. The reformer machine definitely helps you get a different type of workout than you would with equipment. Otherwise, a lot of the movements we did are similar to what you'd do in a barre type class. The only reason I haven't signed up is because class memberships are a little pricey starting at ~$100/month and going up from there. I don't believe they have class packages you can buy separately unfortunately. They do seem to have a variety of styles of classes and levels of difficulty. The studio itself is gorgeous and really clean. read more

Club Pilates - Pilates Near Me - Glastonbury, Connecticut

I joined Club Pilates in Glastonbury approximately 2 years ago and I am obsessed with it. The instructors are fantastic and provide diversity in the exercises/classes they lead. Cathy is very professional and an excellent instructor herself! All the instructors pay close attention to how we are doing the exercises so we do not strain or hurt ourselves - something for which I am very appreciative. I have noticed a huge improvement in my balance and my strength. My friend tells me that I am addicted to Club Pilates in Glastonbury. I take that as a testament to this studio, the classes and all of the instructors! read more

I've been a member since Cathy opened the studio.....right before Covid. There are several reasons I'll stay with and support this studio hopefully into my 80's or longer. 1. The studio handled safety and cleaning during the pandemic like no place else I went over the period, purchasing twice the number of air cleaners suitable for a space that size, holding us all to the mask policy and doing it with good humor despite the clear financial hardships it created. 2. The teaching staff is excellent. And varied. It's hard to keep teachers long term - their skills are entirely portable - and they leave. Cathy has worked hard to build a consistent reliable team and from what I can tell continues to work on this. And when a late cancellation happens, she teaches the class herself rather than leave us all hanging which I appreciate. 3. It's an amazing form of exercise. I've done everything and this is the perfect combination of strength and flexibility training, improves balance, coordination and posture - I can't think of anyone I know (or see bent over at Whole Foods) who wouldn't benefit from Pilates. 4. It is very reasonably priced. I don't know what some reviewers expect or are used to, but Pilates studios in any city I've lived in start at $250 for three sessions. For what this studio offers the price is more than fair. 5. Last, on the issue of cancellations and money back - again, not sure what people think should happen? The policies are clear - if you don't like them you're free to move on, but why bash the studio? Airlines don't give you money back if you miss a flight, and most reputable salons, spas, and more expensive restaurants demand that you put a charge card down and pay if you miss it or cancel last minute. Cathy is running a business in a competitive industry and doing it with grace. read more

Absolutely great experience here at CP. The instructors give very clear and thorough direction, which is very helpful because the reformer can appear intimidating, and sometimes some of the moves are a little awkward at first. Gentle, supportive correction is given as needed, and modifications to exercises are always available if one is working through injuries. After about 6 months I have better core strength and visible definition, and I've been able to exercise without new injury, or aggravating old injuries, yet still feeling like I got a good workout. Class size is limited to the 12 beds available. Plenty of wipes are on hand to wipe down equipment both before and after. Masks are required during class. The facility is always exceptionally clean, and has more than adequate air purification systems as well. read more

I really enjoy Club Pilates in Glastonbury. Cathy is a true professional in dealing with any issues you have. I truly enjoyed Sarah's classes also. read more

I'll try to make this quick, but the glastonbury studio has helped me tremendously. Especially Ken! His classes are my favorite (definitely sign up for one of his classes- highly recommend!! ) Having reached around 500 classes, I totally owe a lot of my Pilates knowledge to him! I had taken numerous classes, and I didn't know I was doing about 4 different exercises wrong until he gently corrected me. Turns out it wasn't actually easy, I was just doing it wrong LOL. Seriously. Everyone just let me do it wrong until I took Ken's class. I never felt judged or uncomfortable and I hate to say it but he even makes planking fun (fun is said loosely, b/c I will always hate planks) I've noticed my body becoming stronger, definitely my core. But also, my mind. I'm sensitive to seasonal depression and there has been multiple days where I was just having a terrible day, on the verge of tears and as soon as i walk in the door, a smile or a little joke... it means everything to me. The atmosphere, the staff, the music - Highly recommend this location. It's been life changing.. read more

I guess this studio apparently isn't open yet, but it's already off to a bad start for me. I keep seeing the adds all over facebook saying to book your free intro class at this location (and even on this yelp page above). Ok fine. I go online, give my info for the free class and am told no available classes in the future. Then why I am seeing ads making it look like you're open? I think no big deal, I'll try again after they open. Fast forward to today. I have received not one, but TWO text messages from someone at the studio (I think his name was Chris) asking if I'd like to sign up to be a member to get a percentage off. Yet the studio isn't open yet and I'm not able to book a class or check it out. This seems super sketchy and has left a bad taste in my mouth. I got super excited since I've been meaning to try pilates, especially with a convenient location in Glastonbury. If the studio opens and I get to finally check it out, I will definitely change my rating to reflect that. read more

Love this studio. Amazing instructors with differing rotation of exercises. All in all, a very knowledgeable staff and extremely clean facilities. read more

It is nice that they offer a free class however I would've been upset if I had paid for the class I attended. The teacher, a woman in her late 60's I'd guess, was rude. I did call ahead to book this higher level class and I had no problem following the class at all. The teacher did not greet me "hello" and she seemed annoyed with the woman at reception for letting me join. And it was a small class. This teacher was not motivating or friendly. The studio is beautiful but the teacher was a big turn off. read more

The cancellation policy is horrible. You pay for classes in advance and can loose out on those class credits if you cancel. It doesn't even matter what you cancel class for. Its just the it policy and it's very irritating. read more

I'm absolutely obsessed with reformer Pilates, I'm so happy I found this studio. Pilates has completely changed my life! I started with going once a week and loved it so much I quickly increased to twice per week. That lasted about a month before I increased to their unlimited membership. In total I've lost about 17 pounds in 3 months with no other form of formal exercise. I feel better sleep better and overall my flexibility has increased. The team there is great! I typically take classes with Sarah, Rachel & Ken because of my schedule. Kens funny and I tend to laugh a good amount in class, Rachel is newer to the studio but don't let that think she'll go easy on you! Sarah is amazing and I go on Fridays to her class specifically to get my butt whooped LOL. She never fails to make me sweat doing the smallest movements, her classes are in my opinion the hardest yet the most rewarding. Rachel's classes are right up there to! Pilates has absolutely changed my life I can't say enough great things. I drive 30 minutes to go to this studio. I've never felt comfortable in a gym atmosphere before but I love this place. read more

I am a beginner at Pilates and was hesitant at first because I have never tried it before. The experience from my free intro class with Cathy and then I'm on my third class has been awesome! Cathy, one of the instructors is very motivating and patient! read more

This is an outstanding studio with exceptional staff and instructors! Everyone is very kind and they make you feel right at home! Wonderful place to be! read more

I had my first introductory class last week and absolutely love this studio. I have been to other Pilates classes (with reformers) and the cost to keep it up at twice a week is hefty. This studio offers packages that are very affordable and have all styles of practices (from beginners to cardio) during all times of the day to fit into my busy work schedule. I am hooked! read more
