Disappointed to say that I'm officially leaving Club Pilates…read more I joined this club with specific weight loss and fitness goals, looking for an uplifting, professional, and safe environment to work out. Instead, my experience with a specific weekend instructor has been incredibly uncomfortable and unprofessional--ranging from her constantly complaining about being tired or sick, to making personal digs at me, and most recently, making a hostile face at me that forced me to walk out of class mid-session. Because of my job, weekends are the only times I can work out. Seeing this instructor's name on the schedule literally raises my blood pressure, and I haven't been able to use the membership I pay for. I want to give a shout-out to Lauren, the manager, who has been absolutely lovely, understanding, and validating every time we've spoken. But unfortunately, understanding isn't enough when little to no action is taken to actually correct the behavior. A gym/studio should be a safe space where you feel cared for and motivated. I'm currently requesting a refund for the last 3 months since I haven't been able to safely use my classes, and I'll be taking my fitness journey elsewhere. #CustomerService #FitnessJourney #Accountability #Pilates

When finding a new pilates studio closer to home became a necessity, I looked into so many options…read moreand felt a tad overwhelmed. I also knew whatever studio I found would have some big shoes to fill (Core Collective A2 4eva). I took a chance on the new Royal Oak location of Club Pilates and I'm so glad I did! The space is clean, welcoming and chill; the instructors are friendly, knowledgable and inclusive. Same with my classmates. I see people from all walks of life in here seeking to strengthen their cores for the resistance. The breadth of equipment is great--I had never used a springboard before. The pricing is a wee more wallet friendly than other places, though I miss having a 12 class/month option. They also have a phone app so scheduling classes is a breeze. I also dig the "Activity" section where you can view your entire class history.

If you're a beginner like me, this is the place to start. The instructors are all extremely nice…read moreand helpful. The studio itself is always very clean and well maintained. Let's just say I've never been an early riser and I find myself setting my alarm for morning classes. Even the students are all so wonderful and encourage each other on. There's something about my classes where I leave feeling relaxed, standing straighter, and feeling more confident about myself. With their introductory prices, you really have nothing to lose if it doesn't work for you, but if it does, even the membership pricing is extremely affordable compared to other studios.

I love this studio! It's super close to home, affordable, and Strongheart Yoga offers a warm and…read moreinviting space for my practice. Tiffany's Vinyasa flow is my Monday night reset button and it throws my whole week off if I ever have to miss. There is a class for every level of yoga so don't be intimidated. You will find the yogi's very helpful and patient yet challenging if you want to take your practice to the next level.

This was my 2nd time taking Pilates. As much as I work out this was still a difficult class to…read moretake. I took the beginners class and doing this works outs a different set of muscles than what you'd workout on a regular gym day. This is a class you would take in addition going to the gym but not on the same day. The coach takes their time to explain everything in the beginners class and they coach you through getting into and maintaining proper form. There were a few times I had to stop to take it easy... of course over time, you'll get use to it but it does take some patience, good form, and stamina to do this really well. They recommended taking 3 beginners class to get use to the movements. It's all about balance, maintaining position and using/building your strength... I recommend coming to check out a class for yourself.

The lights and ambiance add to the experience and make us work harder. This is more lagree adjacent rather than Pilates, but that's good because it's more challenging.

The instructors/ coaches are VERY WELL trained and keep the focus on the Functional exercises so important to the quality of everyday life.

My body was out of alignment when I first began working with Karen but over the last 9 months my body alignment has improvement tremendously, as well as my core and total body strength.

Fast forward to this pandemic and the magic of Zoom! The same Karen, the same knowledge, the same level of intensity and a one-on-one instructional attitude, in her Zoom classes.

All classes include strength training. Jane is a friendly owner who quickly pivoted during Covid to adapt to the new normal. I prefer streaming classes at home during this time but classes in the parking lot are amazing too! If you like to dance and you want a fun workout, please try Jazzercise.

This is my 1st Pilates class and they showed me just how weak I am. I will get better though. This…read moreclass is all about strength and being able to hold those positions. I arrived early (before the place opened up) for the 6am class. The instructor gave me run down of the class and how to use the machine. I signed a waiver before getting started. They have cubbies to put your belongings. They sell really cute sock if you need some. There's a mirror on the wall so you can see yourself to make sure you're in the correct position. Listening is important so you know what to do. You can also look at your classmates to see what they are doing in case you're unsure. It's a small class of only about 10 people. The exercises are simple but require strength and stamina. The instructors have feedback and helped me to get into the correct position. There's no cardio involved but it's a great full body workout. I'd love to come back.

I still haven't taken a class here, so I can't give 5 stars...but the effort to be neighborly deserves recognition. Disrespectful to the neighbors. I, along with others have had to put in several noise complaints. The landlord is taking action for the noise level rendering him unable to rent out his residences. The dance studio that was marketed to the landlord as a yoga studio, is small enough that the music volume can be controlled, however, the owner jacks the music up and wears a completely unnecessary headset all of which is entirely disruptive to the neighbors. Rude when approached. Overall terrible for the neighborhood. Don't recommend supporting.

The sequence was so well-rounded, and her cues made so much sense. I appreciate when I can tell a teacher really knows what she's talking about, and Christy is the real deal.

The studio is absolutely beautiful and the manager Christy (different Christy from the teacher and owner!) is so, so delightful. Prices are great, parking is easy. Great spot!
