That being said, men are welcome to work out here too I believe but know that this caters to women in the aesthetics and details. They have a cool system where they alternate days when you work out different parts of your body (I.e. Weds are for butt and legs, Thurs is for arms and abs). I like this concept because it helps exercise all parts your body and give each area a proper rest. Butt and thighs days involve alternating between floor work and using the stairmaster. I enjoyed the floor work but the stairmaster portion is a little too much for me when we have to rotate to the left and right. Definitely see the benefits of it, it's not just not something I'm comfortable with yet. But you definitely get an excellent workout coming here. Was sweating profusely midway through the class.

I got there 20 minutes early and was the first one there so I could pick the reformer I wanted…read more When I checked in, the instructor, Adelene, told me I would be at the reformer all the way at the end of the class by the wall. I was surprised that reformers were pre-assigned. She introduced herself and was polite, but that's where the positives end. She asked if I had any injuries but didn't ask about my experience level. Class started and it was a horrible experience, poor instruction, poor visibility and lack of attention to the class as a whole. This class was extremely difficult to follow, and I couldn't keep up. The instructor focused almost entirely on correcting one student, while a few others got minimal direction. I wasn't helped or corrected at all, even though I was clearly confused. The instructor's voice was low and unclear, and when she demonstrated movements, she was often blocked by other students. She stayed at the front of the studio, occasionally moving toward the center, but never came to the back where I was. My neck started to hurt from constantly trying to see what she was doing. At one point, the woman next to me asked what she was saying, and I shrugged because I didn't know either.

The beginner class is also difficult in a way that will signal to your body that it is capable of more. Her sense of humor and dramatic playlist make the hour-long class enjoyable. Every person in the room is usually grunting and oiy'ing with the slight adjustments that she makes to help maximize our workout. I have taken class the day after Thanksgiving and also on random weekends. The small class size makes each session feel like a personal training opportunity. The Barboza Method makes me re-think my posture and movements in everyday life, especially as I am mostly sitting at a desk during work hours. Oh, the violations to our bodies when we are constantly on devices and crouched forward! (Insert crying emoji here.) I am excited to re-train mine so that I can age better over time. Another observation is that the class is challenging even for the seasoned fitness fanatic so don't think you'll breeze on by, even if you do megaformer/solidcore or crossfit/F45 frequently. Some of the clients have legit hard bodies next to my softer and noodle-ly self, yet they're sweating in solidarity and you can tell it's not easy for anyone. The studio culture is non-judgemental so I feel like a rockstar afterwards (in a OMG-I-didn't-die way) even though I still look like a donut. Try it at least once so that you can open your eyes to a unique treatment for your muscles and alignment. It's both torturous and nourishing, and different from anything you can find at other studios or at standard gyms. You can find Stephanie on ClassPass or pay for individual classes or packs. The credits or $ are worth it. Some logistics: Parking is via meter or side-streets. Watch the signs. One of my classmates said there is also free valet during some evenings but I haven't tried this option. The studio has storage cubbies but they're not locked, so I recommend leaving your valuables in the car. Seriously, you won't need your phone anyway. Barboza Method is right next to the restaurant Horses, and you have to walk down a short alley into the adjacent backyard to access the door. It's not creepy. If you are early to class, take your time walking toward the studio. There is something about the discovery, a-la Great Expectations, and that soundtrack song by Mono rings in my head. This daydream is truly short-lived because you'll need all your concentration for class.

To Whom It May Concern,…read more I'm writing to express serious concern about the conduct of instructor Victoria Moreno during the 11:00am class on July 6th. As someone who has practiced Pilates consistently for over two years across multiple studios and cities, I have never encountered an experience like this. My friend and I were both booked for this class. I arrived before it began, and my friend entered the studio at 11:11am. She removed her shoes and walked directly to her reformer. By the time Victoria began speaking to her about the studio's grace period policy, it was 11:14am according to my friend's phone. At that point, Victoria told her she would not be allowed to participate. I fully understand that Wundabar enforces a strict grace period policy, especially as it pertains to the flow and safety of a class. However, the situation was unnecessarily escalated. Rather than offering a quick, professional explanation or simply allowing her to observe quietly, Victoria engaged in extended, disruptive back-and-forth that ultimately affected the class more than a calm, 10-second orientation would have. My friend exited the studio between 11:16 and 11:18am. I remained for the session, but throughout the class I felt uncomfortable. Victoria seemed to direct subtle hostility toward me, with pointed looks and what felt like condescending corrections. I did my best to remain focused on my workout and not be affected. After class, while I was cleaning my reformer, Victoria approached me and said, "I'm sorry your friend had to leave, this is just about grace period." I responded kindly and without confrontation: "I think she thought it was a 15-minute grace period--must've been a misunderstanding, but I totally understand. It's about safety and I know explaining the reformer would take away from the class." I was simply trying to be respectful and avoid conflict. Instead of letting it go, Victoria responded, "No, it's actually not about safety. She's been here before and knows the reformers. This is solely about grace period." I replied, "I don't want any bad blood--are you mad at me?" She then said, "No, I'm not mad. I'm just apologizing and you tried to over explain it." I was stunned. At that point, I collected my things and left. I have never had an instructor "talk back" to me like this, especially after I made a clear effort to be understanding. The tone and attitude Victoria brought into this interaction felt unprofessional, defensive, and needlessly aggressive. Her decision to continue the conversation--and accuse me of "over-explaining" after I had already expressed understanding--was entirely inappropriate. This was my first time at Wundabar, and it left me extremely disappointed. I've worked with many instructors in both New York and Los Angeles, and I've never encountered anything like this. It's not just the refusal to allow my friend to join--it's the lack of emotional intelligence and professionalism that followed. Victoria Moreno is a representative of your brand, and I truly hope this is not reflective of the values Wundabar upholds. I would appreciate a formal response regarding how this situation will be addressed and what measures are being taken to ensure no other customer is treated this way in the future. Sincerely, Chelsea
