The studios are great with plenty of reformers that get sanitized after each class. I have taken a few of the awesome instructors classes at Boost, but must say My favorite instructor is Macy. She's fun, energetic and an great instructor for all levels! I have never taken her class and not gotten the shakes during the workout. I always feel so great after like I actually accomplished a great workout that I wouldn't have done if I had went to the gym alone. If you're looking for an awesome Pilates studio I'd strongly recommend Boost Pilates! All will walk away feeling accomplished from beginners to upper levels.

I've been coming to Boost since before covid. Because everyone has been so nice all these years…read moreand for the history of it, I'm giving 4. If I were new, it would probably be more like 2-3 stars. There's been a turnover of instructors, and they are rallying. While the new teachers are nice and putting in the effort, they lack foundational Pilates knowledge. Classes are similar to a spin class because instructors talk and encourage the WHOLE time. It ends up being a bit chaotic because people can't distinguish between the cheerleading, the necessary cues, or spring changes. Most importantly, the detailed form cues and corrections are missing. Classes feel rushed and lack clear direction on technique, which is the opposite of what Pilates should be. Classes can still be hard and appropriately paced. The cues and form are what makes Pilates hard, not rushing through moves. (Its also physically impossible to do a weighted low squat and a shoulder press within 1 second- let alone safely on a reformer. Why are we doing this?) It seems they all went to the same training class and haven't trained with different instructors so it's a problem across the 6-8 teachers I've tried in the last 3 months. If it weren't for Stacey and Caroline, I'd have moved to a closer studio by now. I hope the instructors undergo more training and are introduced to more than one type of teaching so they develop their own style. People are nice, and they are trying, but they aren't there yet.

It was definitely hard and challenging but that's what makes it so great. Loved the reformer class with Kemi. She's great at adjustments and encouraging the class individually and as a whole. Check in was super easy. There's an iPad on the wall and you just check in independently and pick out the reformer you want. Theres a nice big mirror the spans an entire wall. Lots of core strength and a couple of cubbies to place your things. Grip socks are not required but I wore them because safety first. Lots of pulses. Can't wait to go again and feel the burn and muscles spasm.

I agree with other reviews that state that everyone is nice and welcoming. However, unfortunately,…read morethe quality of the studio has been declining for years. There is a very high turnover of instructors. Excellent instructors tend to stay for a while and then leave, while many of the newer instructors are not as good. Their classes are often too easy, instructions are not always clear, and some classes finish before the full 50 minutes. There is also a lack of consistency in the level and content of the classes. At times, it seems that instructors are teaching what they know rather than necessarily teaching Pilates. The Friday and weekend schedule has also been reduced significantly. Classes are sometimes canceled at the last minute, and Cardio Sculpt classes have been reduced to a minimum. Some instructors who have been there for a while rarely change their exercise routines, making their classes very repetitive. In contrast, the excellent instructors follow the intended structure and difficulty of the class, vary the exercises from class to class and week to week, provide clear and precise instructions, and allow an appropriate amount of stretching at the end without compromising the actual exercise time. Another issue is the lack of a constructive way for members to provide feedback. If management is genuinely interested in improving the studio, there should be an anonymous suggestion box or another easy, confidential way for members to provide both positive and negative feedback without feeling uncomfortable. The friendly and welcoming atmosphere is a definite positive, but the quality and consistency of the classes need significant improvement. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and works to address them.

I never feel pressured to do something I don't feel like my body can do, and the instructors are always providing modifications. It makes it feel all the sweeter when I find myself not needing to do certain modifications later down the road! I really like some of the instructors playlists; they can really set the mood for the class! They also change the lighting and fans based on the intensity and vibes of the class.

There's a few parking spaces in the front and another small parking lot in the back. That's also where the entrance door is. They have a special deal for three classes for two weeks for first timer. They offer morning classes throughout the entire week which fit with my schedule. Be sure to reserve a spot as there is limited amount of spots for each class. You can electronically sign in when you come to class. It's first come first serve so pick any reformer you want. The instructors are friendly and helpful if it's your first time. I did feel a bit sore after class but it felt good. Would definitely come back.

I came across this studio from ClassPass and I love Pennie's classes. She's a phenomenal instructor and she truly cares about your form. She gives great instructions and will help you if you're a beginner to pilates. There's only a few reformers in the studio which is great for a small and intimate sessions. I prefer small classes over big classes anyway. The studio is clean and better than any other pilates studio that I've visited so far!

We wanted to continue this once we returned to Houston, but we didn't want to find a studio with 30+ students and the Pilates classes at our current gym didn't give us any feedback on whether we were doing the positions/moves correctly. We turned to yelp for help :) We were looking for the following in a studio to supplement our gym membership: 1) small classes 2) personal attention 3) encouraging and attentive teachers This studio has all 3 of these things, but it's not limited to Pilates! They have yoga and cycling classes that meet the above three requirements too! We've only been members since October, but we look forward to our weekly classes. What's really nice is the class feels tailored to us. My husband and I have different bodies (height, strength, flexibility, etc), and the teachers really adapt to us! They'll change certain routines to ensure each student is getting the most of the session. It's a great personalized experience, and your body will thank you. I've already noticed better posture and just awareness of how I hold myself when doing everyday things at home or at work. What a neat find - thank you, yelpers!

The room for mat Pilates is extremely small and they cram up to 15 people in the room to where you can barely even get your full workout in because you're bumping into other people in the class. The "hot mat Pilates" isn't hot compared to other studios, when doing hot mat with Kamryn I barely even got a sweat and it was always the same workouts with her I would get bored doing the same exact thing every single time I had her. Overall not the best experience with this studio but if you're new to Pilates deff somewhere to start. Not one of the top studios I would recommend though.

Apparently missing the first few minutes means you're suddenly "not warmed up," as if 5 minutes in a 50-minute class makes any real difference. No flexibility, no common sense, no regard for customers who actually made the effort to show up. Just a rigid rule with zero accountability on their end. Wasted time, wasted gas, and a terrible first impression. If this is how they treat people over something this minor, don't expect any real customer service.

I'm always looking for new ways to stay active. Previously I was doing pilates at "club pilates" but the lack of availability and intensity left me unsatisfied. My friend took initiative to find a new Pilates gym and we definitely hit the jackpot of Pilates gyms with [solidcore] Montrose. I didn't know Pilates could get to this level of intensity. I love the energy the blue lights bring and I love how certain time slots have themes. I just attended "Swiftie Saturday" and I swear, one of the best work outs I've ever had. I love Taylor Swift! Denise P. And Stephanie S. are the absolute best! They are both so friendly and I love that they ask clients for feedback and for ideas for future themes. Denise brings the intensity! Her workouts go crazy, but a good crazy! Definitely has you pushing yourself to the limit! Stephanie is such a bright bubbly personality, I always feel motivated during her classes! And let me say, both their music tastes, phenomenal. They make the workout fun! They offer a variety of packages based of your needs, they also offer student discounts! They will definitely set you up with a plan to fit your needs! You buy a set amount of classes per month. And they have an app that keeps track of everything! Parking is easy if you know what to do! There's a parking garage you enter through Grant St. that's located at the building. You go to public parking, but DO NOT PAY TO PARK!!!! Solid core validates parking. All you have to do is park your car in the garage, go up the green stairs to ground level. When you exit the garage Solid Core is facing Crocker street, their next to "Hi skin." You will need a code to get in or there will be a person upfront that can open the door for you. The code to the door is given to you when you book a class through email or on the app!!!! After you finish your class you can scan a QR code at the front to validate your parking so you don't have to pay! Don't hesitate to ask for validation!!!!!! Other amenities they provide is -Lockers for your personal items -Hangers for your coats -Energy Drinks and water for purchase -Bathrooms with ponytail holders and female toiletries Gym equipment consists of a Pilates machine, dumbbells and bungee cord for the foot. And most importantly what I love about this gym is the community! We always Hi five our neighbors and give yourself a pat on the back. The community is very welcoming no matter your body type, level of experience and how you look! I never felt uncomfortable going to this gym. We are all there for a good, fun, work out!

I've ordered both espresso and matcha lattes, and although I'm more of a coffee person they were both so tasty! The interior is very open with lots of light, and there are a lot of seating options so I've never had trouble finding a place to sit. Wifi is fast and convenient for studying or working. Parking is also very easy. I will definitely be back! I've also tried a pilates class at their attached studio which was a lot of fun! The classes are small and intimate, and the lighting is definitely a vibe.

I always admire a husband and wife duo success story, and that's exactly what I found at Duo! I…read morefirst learned about Duo through signing up for a pilates class, and I fell in love with the place more through the people and the vibes in the connected coffeehouse. From a chat with the barista, I learned that Duo started because the husband had a love for coffee and the wife had a passion for pilates, so they thought "why not combine the two?" The River Oaks location is the founding store and they have since expanded to a second location as well. The people who work here truly seem happy and are eager to share the stories of their founders, which makes the place even more special. During my visit, I tried the birthday cake latte, which is a seasonal drink, and the flavors were also beyond what I've tried elsewhere. I'm typically not a fan of birthday cake flavored items, but I was feeling adventurous so I told the barista to surprise me with a drink from their menu and that's the flavor they ended up picking for me. When I received the birthday cake latte, I wasn't all that excited but all prejudice fell away after the first sip! I didn't adjust any sugar or ice levels like I typically do for my drinks, yet the drink was just right! Overall, I am just amazed by the people, the vision, and the gem of a place that I sort of happened into on a random weekend. I will definitely be returning again frequently for pilates, lattes, and/or fun conversations. Pro tip: initially it looks like visitors have to use street parking, but I confirmed with the staff that the parking lot across from the coffeehouse is free to use as well. Pro tip #2: there is option to order ahead with the QR code in image attached. I have not tried, but that may help skip the lines and make it easier for drink pickup. Pro tip#3: going for pilates here makes it so much easier to grab a quick bite or drink before/after workout!
