I am a regular Pilates practitioner in my home area, and I bought a few classes while visiting…read morefamily over the holidays because I really love Pilates and like to remain consistent. It had a very corporate vibe. (The fact it calls itself a "boutique studio" is nuts to me.) It is not unfriendly, but I didn't particularly find it warm or welcoming. No one really spoke much to each other, and in one class, the instructor didn't even introduce herself. The studio seems clean, although I loathe the environmentally-unsound practice of using disposable wipes for every class - shame on Club Pilates as a corporation for continuing to do this! It is impossible to make last minute changes. I considered buying an extra class during my time, but everything was waitlisted well in advance. I booked weeks before, and I think that is why I got into the classes I did. But then none of the classes seemed totally full? Also, I noticed that even when we started class 10 minutes late, we ended on time, meaning we were shorted out of time we paid for. I think my first class lasted for about 35 minutes total, which is definitely not what I thought I signed up for. The classes were... underwhelming. I took a Level 1 because I was new to the studio (and unable to sign up for something higher despite my experience). It was fine and I enjoyed getting my movement in, but the pacing was strange and often felt rushed and disorganized. I felt we didn't spend very long doing any of the moves, just rushing on to the next one (except bridging, which all of the instructors spent a disproportionate amount of time on). The instructors were not always very clear in their instruction, and I imagine this would be confusing for true beginners. I also had the most bizarre experience in my last class there. The instructor just left the class in child's pose while she went to the bathroom during class. I thought she was joking at first until I noticed she had actually left. Then later - during the same class - she wandered into the lobby on her phone about a personal matter, losing track of what we were doing during feet in straps. It makes for a fun story, but... what?

Every teacher is so thoughtful and really has a passion for Pilates. I have done the cardio sculpt 1.5 for about 2 years on and off. I have recently switched to the advanced class Flow 2 and CP Circut 2. These classes have been my foundation to my self care journey and can not recommend this place more. I recently had an issue with my credits and got the help I needed quickly. Yes- it's hard to get into a class but pre book your classes in advanced you will not regret it. If you have any issues with credits they will work with you. This studio is very clean.

I've seen some great coaching and facilities, and I've experienced some less than ideal situations. Time and again, I appreciate the excellent coaching, programming, and most importantly, the community at the Combine. Over the years, I have improved my strength, mobility, body composition, and learned what I'm truly capable of as an athlete. CrossFit is not easy, nor should it be. The coaches offer great support and encouragement, pushing athletes through discomfort that ultimately turns into remarkable results. Even when I've had to deal with injuries (before you even think it, no, I didn't get injured because of CrossFit), the coaches can modify and scale the workouts to ensure I still get a good session. At times, that meant doing something almost entirely different from the rest of the class. That is one of the defining reasons this coaching staff is fantastic. If you're interested in checking out CrossFit or feel it is time to try a different box, the Combine just might be what you've been looking for. The members are some of the nicest and self-motivated people I've ever met and that only makes the experience that much better.
