I love this barre studio! All the instructors I've tried so far (Katie Gaddini, Ren Vardi, and…read moreanother name I can't recall) are excellent--they're attentive to individual class goers and try to help each person with form or offer modifications--to make an exercise either more challenging or more accessible. The studio is clean and well-kept, yoga mats are disinfected after every use. The floors are a finished cork material that are a little easier on the joints. The front desk staff are always kind and courteous. I always feel genuinely welcome whenever I come in, which is a huge reason why I keep returning. The parking situation is free street parking on Old County Rd. Usually there's at least a spot available, but give yourself a few minutes before class in case you need to maneuver into a spot on the opposite side of the road. One unique aspect of this studio is the play lounge. For a nominal fee and advanced reservation, a childcare provider can look after your child(ren) during your class, with plenty of toys and activity materials provided. So far I have not needed to use this perk, so I can't speak to experiences there, but it's still something special I have not seen at other fitness studios. Another thing to note is that a few of the classes are livestreamed, so if recording bothers you, just check the class at the time of booking. Most of the studio goers are women in their 20s-40s. I have seen several mature attendees and Katie was great about checking on them during more challenging poses in the mindful flow classes. Everyone wears fitness attire ranging from sports bras, tank tops, t-shirts, leggings, shorts etc. During the barre classes, many go barefoot, some choose to wear grippy socks. I love the judgment-free environment here. We are all at different stages of our fitness journey, and everyone is welcome in this studio.

I tried the b3 Strength 45 with Sylvia. She was a great instructor, very clear instructions, and also just very strong haha. The Strength class at first seemed intermediate but the repetition and going up on weights definitely brought out a good sweat! I was sore for the next couple of days. This specific class was focused on arms and back but always in some sort of lunge so you were working on everything. Would definitely come back!

The community and studio vibe are amazing, but what really makes this place exceptional is the instruction. Every instructor here is excellent and knowledgeable about proper form, anatomy, and alignment, and consistently offers clear cues and thoughtful adjustments. Every move is intentional, with an emphasis on proper form. It's rooted in classical Pilates, but the classes have a really nice athletic edge that keeps the workout challenging, engaging (both body and mind) and dynamic. I always leave feeling that I got a solid, full-body workout. This studio delivers a Pilates experience that makes you feel strong, aligned, and grounded. My only wish is that they would offer more Saturday classes. It's always booked if you don't jump on it right away to reserve a spot for the popular Flow 2 class. And it would be amazing to have a Friday afternoon class to end the work week.

The hanging plants around the skylight in the center of the class space also adds a touch of greenery and natural light. This has to be the most aesthetically pleasing studio space I've ever been in. I just had a very challenging workout in the best way possible. The instructor (Melody?) had a great music playlist and was very accommodating for multiple class attendees with different injuries. She was great about demonstrating exercises and checking on class goers. I will definitely be coming back with a friend soon! I wholeheartedly recommend this studio. As of 2/7/25 it looks like there are some promotions for new clients. They also accept ClassPass.

Definitely budget to get there a few minutes earlier just to find parking, but I enjoy working out at this studio thoroughly.

Such a fun and motivating workout experience that will leave you feeling sore the day after.

I don't understand why the reviews for this Pilates studio are low. I love that there are so many…read moretimes available throughout the day. Most of the other Pilates classes that I try to go to have random times that are not convenient for my schedule, but Body Rok has classes available all day and on weekends as well, so it's very convenient. Instructors are super motivating. The reforme machines are clean. The studio itself is very clean. (It visibly used to be a SoulCycle studio, but that's totally fine.) I'd say that my only complaint is that I wish there were mirrors on all four walls. There are only mirrors in the front and the back, and sometimes it makes it hard for me to correct my form. All in all, it's a great Pilates studio, and I really hope that they stay open. The location is good, downtown San Mateo, and it's easy to grab a snack afterwards.

I am grateful to Patrick and Shawna, they don't just "run" a gym, but they formed a community. I often drive 6th day up to their gym for their Saturday bootcamp, where it's a mix of cardio, core and boxing with warm-up and cool down. There's bigger name gyms out there with all the fancy machines, but you don't learn technique and don't get a complete workout. Now, I can do burpees, crunches and push-up with ease. I don't recall ever being so balanced in my fitness, meaning my cardio, core and strength is balanced. Side benefit is I don't slouch anymore! Side note, Patrick and Shawna also give back to the community and take in kids after school giving them a place to learn about exercise and boxing.

During COVID-19 Shawna and Patrick did a great job providing online classes which I really appreciated while being stuck inside.

They also offer personal training sessions. Westside really is a little family :) If you're looking for a good workout with some awesome coaches Westside is the place for you!

Barry's Burlingame was one of the worst first-time gym experiences I've had. (And that's saying…read moresomething since I recently tried 7 gyms in the Burlingame/ San Mateo / Millbrea areas). I showed up 5 minutes early and instead of focusing on onboarding or safety, the staff prioritized forcing me to create a marketing account and hand over my email before class. Nobody asked about **my knee pain** or offered workout modifications like Basecamp or Burlingame Fitness did. I was thrown into a dark room mid-class with no idea where my station was, what weights to use, or even how to start(!) the treadmill, while the oversized class made it impossible for the instructor to notice I was struggling. I had to stop multiple times just to change weights and restart. Change and restart. In the end, I lost the class credit and time. The whole experience felt like corporate lead-generation and profit mattered far more at Barry's than the safety and success of new members.

The workouts are varied and challenging. Each day of the week is dedicated to a different part of the body (legs, upper body, core, etc.). The coaches are motivating and great at both correcting form and offering variations for moves that may be difficult for people with knee or other issues. Shout out to Coach Euni! Her classes are always the most intense and leave me feeling spent in the best possible way! The front desk staff are incredibly friendly and make an effort to learn your name so they can greet everyone personally. Great gym! Highly recommend!!

Apparently I don't get all this new lingo, new movement, and new positioning and am a complete retard, because I'm not catching on to each movement in under a split second! More than a few of the teachers here, were in dance companies or ballet prior to their new career in Pilates Instruction and to me, it explains everything. The attitude, the complete lack of patience and/or understanding and even the desire to help the students! Yes, I get that, we are supposed to be pushed, but honestly, sometimes (one of the teachers there specifically), seems very excited and enthused to see me fail, miserably. So my advise, if you are taking classes here (I haven't tried the private instruction, yet...) is to make sure you've got thick skin and can deal with instructors that expect the most out of you from the very start. If you are already seasoned in all Pilates, know all the lingo, names of equipment, etc... you will have no problems here. It's a great place to go for the core, and well... total body toning. As I have been searching around to see what other Pilates places are like, I noticed that the prices are particularly high in comparison to classes in San Francisco, Mountain View and Menlo Park; but at the same time, the studio is probably one of the cleanest, most well kept places I've seen, besides Maiden Lane Studios in San Francisco.
