I hate exercise. I've managed to not do any exercise for 47 years lol. My reason to start is pretty…read morevain. I'm a biker and I wanted a faster bike, which means bigger engine and heavier weight. I've been eyeing this bike for a year, I would go look at it at the dealership every couple of months, bike was too heavy, couldn't pick it up off the stand. Then I'd go home and dream about it. Then went again to admire it, on and on. So I decided to do something about it. I signed up for a free introductory class and Jacquie was my instructor. She was great and I was hooked. I signed up and I've been going 3 to 4 times a week. I love all my instructors! Miss Mary, Lisa, Bailee, Liz, Alicia, everyone is great! Very kind and inclusive. But the best part is, 2 weeks after I started, I went to look at my dream bike again. Not expecting anything, I hop on and I was able to pick it up!! I bought it that day and I've been enjoying it! I feel like everything is possible now. Maybe someday I'll get a litter bike haha. I'm still going as often as I can and I love every class. Thank you for all your help and expertise!!

Horrible management at this location! IMPOSSIBLE TO CANCEL MEMBERSHIP!! I signed the electronic…read morepaperwork to cancel my membership in August but then was charged twice $289 for the next 2 months. I sent emails and called and was told by the general manager John that he would look into it. After two weeks passed he emails me saying he has cancelled my membership but he will not refund any charges. It is clear on my account that I had not been to a class since mid August and I should not have to pay for the administrative mistake of losing my cancellation forms. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR MEMBERSHIP! It will be an extreme hassle to cancel!!

What an awesome workout! In just 50 minutes, I got one of the most engaging, challenging (in the…read morebest way), and effective workouts I've had in a long time. I walked in a little nervous -- okay, very nervous -- since it was my first class and my first time ever doing Pilates, but I immediately felt so welcomed. Kristin was incredibly warm and kind from the start. She checked in with me throughout class, made thoughtful adjustments when I needed them, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident the whole time. That kind of attention makes such a difference! The entire class had such a supportive, positive vibe -- no intimidation, just encouragement. I woke up today definitely feeling yesterday's workout (hello, muscles I didn't know I had!) but already feeling stronger and so proud of myself for trying something new. I'm officially hooked and can't wait for my next class!

My first experience at Sweat House San Clemente was mixed. The actual class was great, and Allison…read morewas fantastic. She was welcoming, motivating, and made the workout enjoyable. The Megaformer class itself was challenging and well worth taking. Unfortunately, what happened afterward completely changed my impression of the studio. About 16 hours later, I received a "missed class" email that was surprisingly harsh and off putting, especially as a first time client. I was never aware that I needed to check in on the iPad, and as a new guest, I assumed my attendance was already accounted for. Had I known there was a separate check in process, I would have happily completed it. While I understand the need for attendance and cancellation policies, the tone of the email felt accusatory and unwelcoming. Instead of reaching out to verify what happened, the message immediately focused on strict policies, penalties, and waivers. As someone trying the studio for the first time, it left me feeling more like a problem than a valued customer. Allison deserves recognition for providing an excellent class experience, but the studio's follow-up communication left such a negative impression that it overshadowed what was otherwise a great workout. I hope the studio considers a more welcoming approach for first time clients, especially when attendance issues may simply be the result of confusion about the check in process. **EDIT TO ADD- Was just charged a late cancellation fee, I do not recommend this studio.

The studio is locally owned and the owners are friendly and helpful, always welcoming to everyone. The classes are hard and fast paced, so it can take several classes to get in the groove and learn how to do everything correctly. However once you attend a few times, you will be hooked! I appreciate that there are so many class times to choose from and the location is super convenient in San Clemente. Amanda's classes on Sunday are my favorite! Overall I am very happy with this BODYROK location and will continue to attend to improve my strength and overall fitness.

Review is strictly for administration and management (classes and instructors are good)…read more When I signed up, I was a little hesitant b/c it was a membership, and I wasn't sure if I could commit (because I have three very busy kiddos full of activities + I work full time) however the receptionist told me not to worry and if I wanted, they could freeze my account before the three month period for back to school schedules, etc. I signed up and actually fulfilled my three months of membership commitment even though I've never used all my classes in a month either due to classes being full or having a busy schedule. On 9/11 - I reached out to Club Pilates (via text b/c they've always responded to me quickly via text) and asked if I could freeze my account starting on the 19th (new billing cycle) b/c of the kid's new soccer and dance schedules. They quickly replied (see photos) and said not a problem. On the 19th, I received a charge and so I texted, called and eventually emailed and no response... Kara emailed me on the 9/21 and says, " How about we freeze your account now and then in a month you don't have to pay?" Basically skirting around my request for a refund. I responded and said I preferred the refund. She finally responded back on the 23rd and said, "We are a 7 day a week business - however, I do not work 7 days a week and I was off yesterday." I totally understand that and encourage time off, but most businesses have an assistant manager or a trained staff to take over while they are gone. Today 9/24, she tells me "There is a 30-day policy for Account Freezes" and emails my agreement so then I reply and say yes, it is 30 days for CANCELLATIONS, but freezes are 14 days. She then replies and says...yes, you are correct about the 14 days. If you are going to throw back the agreement, I would imagine that you would read it first (but apparently, she didn't)? I understand it wasn't 14 days prior to my renewal (it was 8 days) but she responded personally with no problem, we can freeze your account on the 19th, and you will NOT be charged. If she said unfortunately, you need to submit this request 14 days prior to renewal; I would've understood 100%. It's damaging to the future success of this business to have Kara managing this franchise. The teachers are skilled, kind and it's a great fit for the community, but the lack of customer service is unbelievable. And for me personally, INTEGRITY is everything and Kara apparently doesn't seem to have it. Refund was denied and I have since requested a cancellation. It's a shame that they could've handled this situation so much better. Instead of just keeping her word and not charging me, she skirted around her mistake and eventually lost a customer. Apparently after talking to other people in RMV, I am not the only one with issues with management. It's very unfortunate. Integrity is everything and the management at Club Pilates | Sendero lacks this vital quality in their business.
