If this is you as well, Rise might be the jumpstart you need to get back into an active lifestyle! With that being said, I was super happy to find out that Rise SSF is the only Pilates studio in South San Francisco and is a collective as well! I've taken classes with Joanel, Ely, and Justin. They're all very instructive and supportive, I definitely feel the burn the following day from their classes. The studio itself is very clean and has music at a moderate volume- the focus is on your form and timing. I think Pilates is best done as a supplementary exercise and can be best paired with another activity like cardio or lifting weights, but it definitely has benefits where it tests muscles that you don't normally work out.

Very unforgiving and quite frankly ridiculous late penalty. I arrived for my first time to the…read morebeginner class at 9:03 am after finding parking, but the door was already locked. In addition to the money paid for the class, I was charged a $20 no show fee. I understand the need for punctuality but I believe there should be some flexibility/a grace period for first time customers. If you're going to charge a late fee, customers should be able to join the class and pay for being late. Customers shouldn't be charged for both the class and being late when they aren't even able to participate in the class.

You leave each lesson feeling healthier, stronger, and more ready to take on the day. I highly recommend her for her talents as a teacher in a field where there are way too many ways to injure oneself, should one get the wrong instructor.

I've been working with Rowena for over a year now, starting with her fertility yoga class after I…read morespotted a flyer when I was walking around the neighborhood. I'd never seen such a thing and I was in the midst of getting ready for a second embryo transfer attempt so I figured why not try it, anything that could possibly help. I enjoyed the class and the explanations Rowena gave for the moves we were doing. And I became pregnant! So then I graduated to prenatal yoga which I began doing as private lessons in the shala which Rowena had just gotten (conveniently in the same location as the class, at Mobu Dance Studio). After giving birth, I have been continuing on with private postpartum mom and baby yoga. It's been great to be able to bring my daughter with me to practice without having to worry about care, and my baby has really enjoyed watching me do my yoga and then the baby yoga time she gets near the end. I caught her doing happy baby pose at home after about a month of sessions! Now she does it all the time. I consider it a nice bonding activity for us and the shala is a nice relaxing place for her. Rowena makes sure my daughter is set up comfortably. She has a blanket she would lay on next to the yoga mat but now that she's gotten a little older, she has a little throne of bolsters she can lounge against for some sitting practice and a better view. At first I wasn't sure about taking private lessons instead of classes since it is a lot pricier. But it's been nice having workouts customized to me, and Rowena is super accommodating about making adjustments if there's anything I want to focus on or if a particular area of my body needs relief. I definitely notice the difference in my body now compared to when I first started. My strength and flexibility are both increasing.

I was impressed with the reformer machines and everything was always so clean. What sold me was the 60 class deal. It was much more affordable than what I was paying at the other studio. I love having the flexibility to sign up for classes when I have time. I was even able to bring my hubby with me to class (text to arrange an extra booking) Bookings done on the MINDBODY app. I believe new classes get posted every 2 weeks. If a class is full, join the waitlist! There's a high chance you'll eventually get in! My favorite instructor is Kimi- she's clear with instructions, gently corrects our posture when we're a little off and challenges us. She also offers modifications depending on our comfort level. If you like extra spicy classes, definitely book Kylie's classes!! Vennu is more than just another pilates studio- they host fun events and the community is really welcoming. Follow them on Instagram for latest updates and special events!
