I am just stopping by to give a big shout out to Club Pilates Downtown Sarasota. I have been a member for over two years and love it. From the warm welcome Kaitlin gives me as I arrive to the super instructors, like Alana and Julie among the other excellent ones, I could not be more pleased. The facility is immaculate, and from the smiles from my fellow participants, Club Pilates Downtown it is obvious knows how to do things right. read more

Great instructors in season during the winter, but the classes are booked out in advance. . I pay for unlimited membership and I'm lucky if I can get into two classes a week. In the summer, it seems like they'll hire just about anybody as an instructor. I have been doing Pilates for over 20 years and I could not believe the quality of the people they had teaching level two Pilates.... I swear they were trained over the weekend ....seriously not qualified! My biggest complaint would have to be the lack of padding on the reformers. I spoke to one of the owners over four years ago about this issue, and I was assured that they were refurbishing all of the foot bars, beds and shoulder pads within 6 months. fFnally, last year they refurbish the boxes. Rather than investing in the clubs they have, they open new clubs that they can't staff with qualified instructors. It's frustrating trying to concentrate on pilates while being distracted by having your shoulders, feet and back up against metal on leather. I thought the South Tamiami studio was bad until I went to use the one downtown, which are even worse.... zero padding. read more

Avoid this franchise Pilates money grab! Find a real Pilates studio with real teachers that actually care about your health and wellbeing. Don't give them your credit card information. They will keep billing you months after you cancel. read more

The instructors are great and you get a great workout experience every time. So glad I am a Founding member!

Love me some Club Pilates! Great friendly staff and knowledgeable instructors that not only love Pilates, but also wants their students to learn the proper techniques to better your practice (and your life). Highly recommend! read more

The best! Everyone is very helpful and management is always there to answer any questions or concerns. Also love that they are involved within the community! read more

I have been a devoted Pilates participant for over 20 years from group classes to private Pilates classes so I'm very well-versed in many methods and all equipment. I love the variety of classes from cardio blast which is a wonderful work out with the jump board to suspend utilizing the TRX straps with many different types of equipment there's many varieties of 1.5 classes to a more advanced that I like which is 2.0 that gives you an extremely great workout. But what is a great surprise to me is the restore and the center & balance options for those that need some balance & necessary stretching ! I highly recommend the studio and Jill at the front desk is wonderful and all the teachers are top-notch, very experienced, and add a lot of personality and fun to the classes !! read more

I've had a hugely positive experience at this beautiful, clean location and the staff are exceptional. As a new member who is nearing 70 I find the workouts stimulating and I've benefited from a lengthened spine, much more uniform bi-lateral strength and all-day awareness of my body core and spinal column positioning. Along with a rigorous diet I've lost 12 lbs. in the 3 weeks since I began Club Pilates, downtown Sarasota. I have a hugely physically active job that few 30 y.o.'s can do, yet Pilates has strengthened my stamina and made me mindful of my breathing. I love it! read more

Club is clean and instructors are good. However if you have a problem with membership or class fees, owner Peter will promise you that things will be taken care of but then he will not follow through. He is not a man of his word. He doesn't care about you as a person and he will confuse you with other members that have had an issue. I would absolutely recommend you not join this gym. You will definitely regret your decision if you have one single problem with signing up for a class or canceling a class, because owner will NOT make it right. read more

Love this studio. Amazing instructors: Pearl, Heather & Trish. Thanks for the fun and challenging workouts!

This location doesnt have parking available except on street which is usually full. If you have trouble parking and arrive late they will steal your paid class fee and not allow you to attend the class. Pilates is nice but i recommend attending a different location. read more

Amazing instructors, huge class schedule, with a variety of classes that will work for any ability level. I've been attending classes at the other 2 locations in town for years, and was thrilled when the Downtown studio opened last year. Each class is different, even if it's the same class in name. You don't leave feeling like you have to crawl out of there due to muscle fatigue, but if you're doing it right (not flying through the exercises, and making sure to engage your muscles), you can definitely feel it! Personally addressing the last review- yes, the studio does require grip socks for class, and they make that known (at least the did for me) prior to the intro class, via VM, email, and text- so it was no surprise to me when I came in for the intro. And like most other places, Club Pilates does have a 30-day written notice requirement, which is also explained at sign-up and is in the agreement that we sign. The good thing is they don't make you come into the studio to cancel in person, so it's more convenient than other studios I've attended! Overall, I've never had a bad experience at this or any of the local studios, and I've thoroughly enjoyed the community that's been created in town! read more

This is a new spot for pilate's in downtown sarasota. The location is very convenient. The place is clean and orderly. The instructors are good. They have many instructors so the exercises vary a lot from class to class and it's hard to know what to expect (even when you go to the same class) . My least favorite were their aggressive selling tactics. When I took their 30 minute "free" introductory class I was forced to buy their special socks with anti-slip soles ($12 for the cheapest kind), which, they said, are essential for my safety ( so my feet won't slip on the reformer bar). But no one complained when, a few weeks later, I came back for a regular class and forgot my safety socks (and there was no safety problem either, of course). Also, they have a 30 day advance notice for discontinuing a membership, which resulted in me being slapped with an additional month charge that I cannot use. They have a lot of positives going for them but would do better if they relaxed these sell tactics. read more
