I joined Lifestyle Pilates two months ago. I had never done Pilates before and did a lot of research before making my decision to try this studio. I'm thankful that I got my decision right on my first try! I was attracted to the number of classes and variety of classes that Lifestyle Pilates offers. Being a first timer to Pilates, I was only interested in going to a studio that offered multiple levels and was smaller in size. Lifestyle Pilates met all of my criteria. The instructors are fantastic. Everyone is friendly, professional and highly knowledgeable. I highly recommend this studio! read more

Smaller studio with machines that accommodate different body sizes. Love the spinal awareness focused classes! Great for all levels. Instructors are great with offering modifications and progressions. Lots of parking. read more

Great studio and teacher. Really recommend this studio. They have classes for all levels. read more

I love it here. Great instructors. Classes are hard but fun. Nice community. I look forward to my workouts here!

This is one of my favorite Pilates studios. That's saying a lot since I've only taken one class so far. I plan to go back as soon as I recover from an injury. Gretchen, the owner gave me a warm welcome and helped me check in when I arrived. I took a class with Melanie who was friendly and helpful throughout the class. The studio is clean and the equipment looks brand new. They are located in a small shopping center behind the tire shop. There is plenty of parking. I'm looking forward to taking more classes in the future. read more

It met all my expectations. The flow class is a true flow class, calming and healing. Thank you.

The studio was clean, the staff was friendly, and instructions were clear and helpful. I would go back if I am in the area again. read more

I've been to 3 classes here so far and all of them have been a great experience! It's a smaller studio, which I appreciate. They have strong instructors who are clear and help you position your body correctly for the best workout. I always feel like the time flies. Y and I get a good workout in. read more

My husband and I have been taking private classes from Gretchen over two years and have never had the same class twice. She is engaging, charming, and knowledgeable, and tailors her classes to our bodies and how we feel that day. We are 74 and pretty fit for our age. Gretchen's classes help us stay that way. We haven't had a class with Annette, but I understand from others that she is also very good. read more

I love the classes Annette teaches. She is an awesome instructor. Each class is different and challenging.

Terrific reformers, great instructors, challenging workouts. Highly recommend for anyone at all levels.

The instructor taught to the varied levels of competence and ability and played great music! The studio is always immaculate and welcoming.

Amazing/knowledgeable instructors, great vibe, love the ambiance and the type of reformers/equipment, classes were challenging and I always felt like I got a good workout. And the owner and her daughter are so sweet and welcoming! I just moved to Petaluma and I've definitely found my home studio, this place rocks! read more

The studio was neat and tidy with beautiful equipment, but what cinched it for me was the instructor. She was so warm, welcoming and helpful throughout the check-in process as well as the class. She also spent extra time with me after the class. She was a gem! read more

I love the range of classes they offer and they always have multiple levels. The teachers rock, Gretchen is the bomb, and it's my favorite workout place in Petaluma. read more

Annette is amazing! She is so knowledgeable, and professional! I love the way she keeps me focused and I don't waist a minute of my work out time! My training really helping me stay out of pain as I increase my strength and stamina ! Love Lifestyle Pilates! read more

Great calm vibe, and solid instructors that give feedback and listen to my needs. Clean space and variety of equipment. Machines are well spaced out so it doesn't feel crowded. read more

Love it. I Was on vacation and took 3 classes there. Owner was sweet very professional. Her class was awesome and challenging. It felt like a semiprivate class since the studio has no more than 5 reformers. Worth it read more

Lifestyle Pilates - Studio - Pilates Near Me - Petaluma, California

This is an exceptionally well-run studio, and Gretchen does a fantastic job at organizing, procuring and using all the equipment, decorating and staffing. She works VERY hard at having a top of the line studio and I drive from Sonoma to make the classes. I have been a pilates consumer for over 20 years, and Gretchen really knows how to instruct, and corrects you in ways that will help you to improve your form. Her instructors are also very good, but understandably, it seems difficult to locate those who teach at the caliber of her skill and passion. read more

I was recommended by who I consider the most amazing Pilates instructors I've ever ever met Beth Bilal suffer Beth to highly recommend Gretchen at Lifestyle Pilates. I knew it would be amazing and it has been. the classes are exceptional. All the instructors I worked with are top notch.The studio is gorgeous yet so perfectly functional with every amenity you could hope for literally, I shopped every day I was there and love everything I got from beyond yoga Gretchen has such great taste most importantly, my one on one privates with Gretchen were crucial to the healing of my compression fractures in my spine, and I was terrified of doing anything, but she guided me meticulously supported me and helped me get stronger even the times that I didn't want to do it and thought it was hard she knew what she was doing. I trusted her and I'm stronger for it and I'll keep coming to the studio I've recommended it multiple times. Thank you for doing what you do and doing it so well and being who you are Gretchen, you are brilliant. read more

Gretchen is a great teacher. Her workouts are great exercise and fun. My wife and I have been going to Lifestyle Pilates for several years. We always look forward to our workouts. read more

Amazing Pilates experience. Friendly knowledgable instructors. Core strength increased. My lower back no longer hurts. Stretching feels so good. read more

After ten years of Crossfit my joints were asking for a break. I am so lucky to have found Gretchen and her great team of instructors at Lifestyle Pilates. I feel like my shoulders and hips were screaming thank you for the positive attention to their needs while still keeping my muscles working like I was hoping. I love how there is more work on balance and the oblique muscles. As others have said, the difficulty of each exercise can easily be adjusted to every athlete, and you come away refreshed and energized. The studio is lovely and clean, with various types of equipment to allow for a different workout every time. Classes are small, and you get individual attention to keep you safe. Don't hesitate another day to try this studio. You won't regret it. read more

Wonderful studio! The instructors are very professional and caring! It is a joy to attend classes! I am getting stronger and feel younger!

Lifestyle Pilates is wonderful! All of the instructors are polite and knowledgeable, and the classes start and end right on schedule. The studio has new equipment, a welcoming vibe, and is kept incredibly clean. There are several different class types, ranging from Stretch n Tone, which is appropriate for all levels including beginners, to Power Pilates, which combines medium cardio with muscle-burning weight training. The instructors are really good at helping you modify each move by either making it more accommodating for your needs, or by increasing the intensity to give you a tougher challenge. Plus, no class is ever the same, so you can attend multiple times a week and get a different workout each time. I started doing Pilates about 6 months ago by taking advantage of the new client promo that is a major bargain. Check it out! I kept going after the promo ended because I really respect the instructors and how they teach the classes, and because I saw changes in my overall strength and mobility. Due to life of athletics and one major bike accident, I've always had issues in my right shoulder, knee, and ankle, but after six months of working with Gretchen and Annette my pain has dramatically reduced and my mobility and strength greatly improved. Highly recommend Lifestyle Pilates! read more

Definitely recommend taking classes here! They have great instructors that make the class fun and modifications can be done for a levels. Awesome workout! read more

I love this studio it's keeping me in great shape ‍ always challenging always inspiring always something new

I had a total knee replacement surgery and after 9 months of healing I felt that I needed an exercise program to help with both strength and stretching. I had only read about Pilates and having never tried it I signed up for 3 privates to learn what it was all about. It has helped my knee immensely and now I know how to modify certain movements to protect my knee so that I have been able to join classes. What a find!!! Lifestyle Pilates is super clean and the classes are small enough to get the extra attention that I need! read more

This is a wonderful Pilates studio. I really enjoy the variety of Pilates classes. Feel that this is the best way to stretch and tone your body. Love my instructor Annette. She is awesome and always provides modifications for exercises that may be difficult. Love this studio and so happy that I found Gretchen and her studio. read more

Annette is patient and compassionate. Our work has led to significant improvements over past few months. wish I'd met her earlier. Studio feels like a new home. Highly individualized exercises that are progressive session to session. Most important event on any given day. read more

This is the only thing I have EVER been able to stick to and actually see results. Gretchen and her team are fabulous instructors and always make sure you get the most out of every class while being sure your moves are correct and watching out for your health. I highly recommend Lifestyle Pilates!! read more

I tried many Pilates studios before finding my place at Lifestyle Pilates. The Studio provides just the right balance of support and challenge. For many years I had a hard time finding an exercise routine I could stick with but since finding Lifestyle Pilates I've been able to keep to a routine for over five years. I highly recommend Lifestyle Pilates read more

This is a really lovely little spot tucked away next to the CVS! I went for the first time with some coworkers, not knowing what to expect. The teacher was very sweet and patient with us and I did feel it was a good workout after I did the trampoline/reformer combo class. This would be a great intro class if you're new to Pilates. The studio was empty except for the three of us so we got lots of personalized attention. read more

Lifestyles Pilates is awesome! Gretchen and Julie are wonderful and teach amazing classes suitable for all experience levels. They continue to grow and offer many different classes. To enhance your strength and flexibility I recommend the reformer class and for a total body butt lifting workout, barre is the real deal. Everyone who comes here are super sweet and personable! I have meet so many nice people during class and I look forward to going every time. Gretchen is an amazing owner and the studio is bright and full of positive energy. She's done a spectacular job decorating the place, while running a very customer oriented business. You definitely need to come by and try a class!! read more

Pilates has kept me moving in spite of arthritis and aging. Bad knees kept me from walking which was about the only exercise I ever did on a regular basis. My ability to move has dramatically changed over the years I have been taking private classes from Gretchen. Her ability to make adjustments in the routines so that I am able to get the most out of my work out is impressive. There are many movements I cannot do but that never stops Gretchen. She gets all the body parts moving while focusing on the core. If the idea of exercising intimidates you as it did me, this could be your answer! read more

Really enjoyed the reformer/rebounder class! I was a little intimated by the rebounder, but once we got going I was pleasantly surprised! Great workout, and great for alignment! read more

I had a thyroid problem which had slowed me down and caused me to sleep a lot. Once I was put on the right medication, it was disheartening to realize how out of shape I had become. I came into the studio not feeling very strong or energetic and Gretchen spurred me on through my workouts. I found the studio to be a supportive and fun environment that I looked forward to coming into every day which is important when you are trying to get back into shape. I am now working out 3 times a week and feeling great. I love the new studio and all the really great instructors who seem to really care about the students. If you need a little push to get back into shape or want to try something new and fun, this is it :) read more

A great place to get in shape. Lifestyle Pilates is very welcoming and you can easily modify for your skill level. Fun events include walks to regional parks and other group participation to local festivities. read more

I've only just started coming here but I am already in love with Pilates and this studio. The staff is truly exceptional and they have just hired on a very big name in the Pilates industry as one of their instructors (who I love!). I personally have a long way to go in working on my technique and building up my fitness after having a baby but I feel like I am in great hands to help me reach my goals. After 3 sessions I already feel myself being more flexible and having better posture. If money were no object, I would probably be here every day! read more

Every workout here is new... "Shaping Bodies for Life" is their motto and they stick to it. So many classes to choose from, bright, clean and cheerful studio and the instructors are very knowledgeable. Great workout clothes also! read more
