Oh I can't believe I haven't written a review for this incredible studio. I love the classes, instructors, events, community -- the list goes on. I also loved the founder story which was shared at the dj set (community went). I remember walking in for the first time and just feeling floored, I loved the style, decor, vibe and it's only gotten better! The aesthetic makes my heart really happy, I've met really nice people and I'm just so glad to see the studio expand. read more

This may be the most aesthetically pleasing pilates studio/wellness social club I have ever been to. The lobby/waiting area is beautifully decorated and the cute plant shop at entrance is just so pretty. I had my first class at this studio a couple weeks ago with instructor Jamie (MNT Signature Reformer). The class was great and she has a very pleasant voice. Her instructions were clear and her class was challenging yet fun. Just as the class description states, this class "challenged [my] strength, endurance, and coordination...each session moves with intention: fast-paced transitions, fun sequencing with spicy prop integration, and creative layering..." Childcare is offered too. I definitely plan on returning and trying their other class offerings. So, if you're curious to give MNT a try, do no hesitate. You'll be pleased. read more

Came in last month for an early class during their teacher training that was fun. It was still under construction so it was incredible to see it at their grand opening. They had so many local vendors in their well-designed space. There's a large reformers Pilates room downstairs and a beautiful coworking space and sauna upstairs. The current pricing is: $40 to drop-in for their coworking space and $45 to drop-in for their reformer Pilates class. read more

My first class was amazing and it has brought me a new enjoyment for this workout. I didn't imagine that I would fall in love so quickly, but it felt wonderful afterwards. I really appreciate how intensive and fulfilling it really was. Each motion and movement brought me to a new place and it was extremely gentle and worked out my entire core. I love this studio and the work space upstairs is pretty neat too. I've used the sauna a few times now and it's such a pleasant experience.

Have heard about MNT several times but never had the chance to attend a class, until this weekend. I took Danielle's class -- such a FUN class and she totally kicked my butt. I was sweating just 5 minutes in. Highly recommend if you're looking for a reformer based athletic workout. The studio itself is absolutely beautiful. New reformers, new equipment, and a total zen-like space. I would come more often if I didn't live in the South Bay. Overall recommend especially as there's a beautiful coworking space upstairs so you can get some work and a workout done in the same day! read more

Absolutely love this team and space. I'm on their unlimited co-working & Pilates plan, and it truly feels like a sanctuary. The co-working space is gorgeous, with plenty of beautiful spots to settle in for the workday, plus thoughtful touches like rentable office gear (stands, second screen, cables, etc.) that make everything seamless. The reformer classes are excellent -- I especially adore Natalie. Beyond the classes and the space, what really sets MNT apart is the people. The staff and instructors are always warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see you. I'm greeted every time I arrive and when I leave, and the energy is consistently kind and uplifting. They also host wonderful social club events -- movie nights, women's wellness gatherings, group walks, sound bowl healing, and more -- which really foster a sense of community. Add in the childcare option, and it's truly unmatched. You're in very good hands here. read more

I really enjoyed the space and the activities for the reset ritual. A few things that would have made the experience better - (1) starting on time-the pilates started 10-15 minutes later than what the email stated (2) loved the sound bath but was definitely distracted by the class below-why was there another class at the same time where a mic was used? read more

MNT Studio is truly the best Pilates studio I've been to, and that's coming from someone who has taught Pilates and tried many studios. The space is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and always impeccably maintained. You can tell they genuinely care about the experience they create and the community they're building. I especially love the events they host that go beyond Pilates. As someone who moved to San Francisco in December, it's been such a great way to meet people. The instructors are incredible, knowledgeable, and so kind. They also include sauna sessions in the membership, which is such a top tier perk, and the coworking space is something I've never seen at a studio before. I always leave feeling better than when I walked in read more

Pilates was suggested from my rheumatologist and my physical therapist.

Met Ramlah and now work with her 2-3 days per week when I am in the city. Only disappointing thing about this particular facility is they don't have a lot of formation classes, which are the ones you take in the beginning. Fortunately, I'm in a place where I am able to pay for privates, but I don't know if this is the place to come and learn in a group environment as they have so few classes.

The space is small but has 5-6 reformers, some other equipment and one bathroom. Note that there's no separate changing area other than the one bathroom so if you're going to cut it close to the class, it may be best to change at home.

There's a splash pad area, a see-saw, and a saucer swing swing and that's really it, but it's impressive what they've done with a thin space between buildings- it's really a gorgeous little oasis from the street. There's a shaded area with picnic tables as well. No bathrooms

I remember this place being sketchy when I was growing up, pretty sure it was a community garden…read morethat was maintained by the neighborhood until it got the funding it needed to open as a park. My nephew and cousin saw this park from the window of Roosevelt's Tamale Parlor and asked if we could go there after we got ice-cream. Sure, why not? So we walk over and have a seat while these pre-teens I'm with are swinging and giggling like little kids. It's nice to see them enjoying the weather outside and physical activity instead of their phones.

Strawberry Hill is an island in the middle of Blue Heron Lake, with bridge access from the…read moresurrounding trails. Its peak features a spacious lookout point with giant logs, greenery, a few picnic tables, and views of the city and landscape partially blocked by trees but still lovely. There were just a couple visitors up there with their dogs during my recent midweek hike up this hill. The incline from ground level is minimal with multiple paths and staircases available for convenience, and it's just a couple minutes walk from the top of Huntington Falls. Combined with the entirety of what this place has to offer (waterfalls, picturesque lake, adorable waterbirds, trails allowing for a peaceful stroll with loved ones, pedal boat rentals on the lake), it's a pretty great spot, one of many awesome landmarks at Golden Gate Park.

Why is Golden Gate Park so beautiful…read more I chanced onto Strawberry Hills while looking for GG Park waterfall(s). Strawberry Hills gives a nice overview of the lake beneath as you walk up the hill. At the top, you get a pretty overlook of SF city. Image attached below. Definitely check out Strawberry Hills when you're in GG Park. And, if also chasing for waterfalls, definitely check out "Rainbow Falls". It is very beautiful as well.

Pretty wildflowers on the walk up

Strawberry Hill, in Golden Gate Park is suffering terribly from storm damage .

There's a wide walking path that can connect you toward the piers, or, if you're up for the challenge of over a 3-mile walk (closer to 4 miles) to get an up close and personal view of the Golden Gate Bridge. It's a great place to just take a break and just sink in the moment of the city's waterfront.

On select Sundays they step into the 50 degree water in wetsuits and confidently start towards their goal, Alcatraz. I asked the kids if they ever got bumped by a shark and they giggled, agreeing, "No, but most times we go out, seals want to play and swim under and nose us, it's funny." Located adjacent to the Maritime Museum, just down the steps to the water's edge.
