Were someone to ask me for a single-word assessment of my Club Pilates experience it would be…read more"inconsistent". Though I've settled on an overall 4-star rating, there have been several visits where I'd not have rated it above 3-stars and once a single-star experience. But overall, if what you seek is a group exercise class, Club Pilates, with its clean, well-organized space and abundance of class offerings will suffice. A friend of mine owned a Club Pilates franchise and she described to me the most difficult part of the experience was hiring and keeping good staff. I imagine that remains a challenge, possibly because many of the best Pilates instructors might opt to work with a smaller class size, where they could more easily oversee correct movement and body-part placements. When a friend heard that I was going here she questioned how instructors manage these important Pilates concepts and I had to admit: Often, not at all. The key to a great experience here is twofold: find the class description you like then find an instructor you also like, who leads that class. This can be a challenge. The sign-up system is via the Club Pilates app and it's easy, but those who've already figured out the above tend to fill those classes quickly. Club Pilates is far from my idea of an ideal Pilates experience but sometimes good enough is okay too. That's exactly what I've found this Club Pilates to be and if I can ever get the classes and instructors I desire on a regular basis that opinion will certainly improve.

I'm rating both The Studio and Tamar, my instructor. The Studio is beautiful and designed so nicely…read morebecause there are several different areas where you can work out, so even at a popular time, it is easy to do your routine and hear your instructor, whether in person or virtually. There are an abundance of reformers (top notch) a couple Cadillacs, chairs, ladders, many rings, rollers, balls, and so much more. If you can't find what you want to use for your workout, you're not trying. Tamar is fantastic! She's innovative, fun, focused, a great communicator, intuitive, has an excellent personality and memory, and while I keep thinking about how her talents are not being used on me because of my age and physical limitations, she never seems like she is thinking that way. She finds new ways to open up tight places and create flexibility that I thought I lost years ago. Her energy and enthusiasm is wonderful because I am excited to keep trying to do more at home even with small movements. I look forward to working there each week. The parking is easy and ingress and egress is a breeze, which is not always true for places in Marin. Everyone is friendly and seems delighted to be there. There is a small shop area with some fun things. I didn't check the prices, but the clothes were casual and nicely organized for quick viewing.

I've been a client for years now, and I love my private sessions with Sarah and Bronwen. My daughter has also become a client and loves her sessions as much as I do.

They have a reformer room that is spacious, bright, and peaceful; as well as a cadillac room, and a large airy, sunshiny space with several towers and ladder barrels. Not to mention weights, bands, rollers, etc. Parking is also easy and free. I LOVE pilates here and know you will too!

Deanna is awesome! I've been practicing yoga regularly (1-2 times a week) for the past four years…read morein San Francisco, at many different studios with many different teachers, and hands down Deanna is the best instructor I've worked with. Her classes are very balanced, a true full body workout-she never focuses too much on one area or neglects another. They're also varied, so each class is different than the last one. They're also very accessible-she consistently provides variations on poses to make them more challenging or more accessible. Deanna's positive attitude, patience and supportive nature are definitely worth noting. Her classes always feel like a safe space to try new and challenging poses (or take a break when you need to). They're fun too-Deanna's got a great sense of humor. She's also very present and available during and after class for assistance, advice, whatever. I always leave Deanna's classes in a better mood with much more energy. I would recommend her to anyone-beginners, or people with much more advanced practices. She really is the best :)

The way I rate my massages is by how free and different I feel coming out of it. She definitely knows what she's doing, and I was relaxed the entire time. Her head massage at the end was so soothing I almost fell asleep! Every detail was awesome, and you know you're getting a good massage if time goes by too fast. I swear the 1.5 hour just flew by haha. And of course, I gotta mention how extremely, super duper nice she is. I mean she is very, very genuine. She has an amazing energy and positiveness that you can't get mad at. From all this, I won't be surprised if her yoga sessions are good too.

She is helping to make radical shifts in not only our bodies, but our lives (as it all relates!). She is deeply knowledgable & intuitive about the body (basically has x-ray vision). She is not an "overnight" pilates teacher. It goes deep with her, both with her passion for it & experience with it. I truly wish her approach could be as widespread to the masses as the more (no offense) "shallow" version of pilates has become. We have a gem/"guru" in our midst.
