I paid almost 1K for private sessions and my last 2 classes the owner had other sessions with clients going on in the same room with another client while the instructor was teaching me. It was really hard to hear, focus and stay motivated. I generally NEVER complain but when you are paying a higher price for a service then that is what is to be delivered. Today I came about 10mins early the owner asked me what I was doing there (my hair is usually in a bun) naturally curly but today it was straight..assuming she did not recognize me I stated I was there for a private session with her instructor that started in 10-15 mins she told me to go wait in my car. I find it odd and its growing uncomfortable each session. The owner then went upstairs to meet with her client. If I would have randomly walked in after she went upstairs I still would have been in the waiting area... like I did the week before without having to go to my car. Pointing out she stated this in front of her loyal clients and gave me the boot when I simply was sitting on a chair smiling at her clients. I'm a lot different looking than her other looking high class clients being tanned skin tone and I would hate to feel like I'm being treated differently when my pockets and class aren't any different. You never know someone's status by looking at them. When speaking to the owner she kept insisting on more fees to accommodate services paid for as if I did not have the money to pay for my services. She then suggested a $500 an hour fee to rent out her whole studio to be funny. Usually a private session is a 1:1 session with the trainer, instructor or what have you. She stated that is not how her studio runs and it can be quite a few others in the same session. If this is the case she should have disclosed when paying that sessions were more in a group like vicinity and I would of happily paid for classes elsewhere or paid more than half the price to join a franchise. The other clients she was with was laughing hysterically and impulsively during my session that the instructor had to keep raising her voice so I can hear her on the reformer machine. The owner was absolutely contradicting and passive when I took it upon myself to speak about my experience professionally. Never asked for any money back just wanted to see if she suggested quieter times. She challenged me to looking into renting out the studio..if I wanted to I would. However, I inquired about private sessions just as you would do with a private chef, private instructor, private massage therapist, private Villa on vacation, or personal trainer. All of which I have done and it was "private" just myself and the Coach/trainer/instructor etc. This was supposed to be a wholesome, holistic experience and despite race, age, or sex everyone should be held to that standard. Maybe the owner should disclose that it may be semi private sessions when you pay for private 1:1 sessions and others will be in the room in a small space with you. Also please note that she does offer "semi-private" sessions for a lot less but it has to be with someone you refer. Now, that I'm thinking of it it seems like a scam scheme and she is still in fact having clients pay the price for "private" seasons when in fact are not private. Honestly cannot wait to do my last 7-8 sessions and book elsewhere. Helga one of the instructors is absolutely amazing. She is why I'm sticking through this or would have cared less about 1k going down the drain. I know she drives to this particular studio for her clients from other places she attends to for her livelihood. read more

Perhaps is Katy- West Houston's best kept secret! Is not only a Pilates reformer studio but also has the Core Align classes, this is a very personal studio, instructors are very aware of avoiding any injuries while using the equipment. They offer early classes and most important instructors will still provide the class even though only 1 person signed ( WHICH IS VERY RARE! ) Pam the owner teaches some classes as well as other great instructors, such as Jolly, Johnsy and Angela. - all of them I highly recommend! I particularly have a need to exercise every day and due to work it must be done early in the mornings, I joined Pilates & Motion after my last visit to my orthopedic doctor consultation about my neck and shoulder pain, the Dr suggested for me to exercise and develop strength, I already have tried going to the chiropractor on a weekly basis and physical therapy for my knee so I decided it was time to try something in between. Hot Yoga did wonders for me but unfortunately the schedule for the studio that I particularly like conflicts with my availability, therefore, I searched for this studio. I started about 3 months ago and I feel less neck pain, also my knees have developed strength and I am working on my core and toning more my body. I highly recommend this studio and its instructors. read more

There is not another Pilates, Yoga or Gyrotonic studio like this in the Houston area. The studio is amazing!!! Pam, the owner, and the rest of the instructors (Jolie, Johnsy, Angela, Shari, etc) are the best. They have a great rapport with their clients and make going to a training session or group class something that you look forward to doing. The instructors are great at making a challenging class for everyone ... and, if you have a special condition (bad knees, bad back, etc.) they ensure that you are doing the exercises properly and they modify where necessary. And, if you think that Pilates is just "stretching", one look at Pam, Jolie, Johnsy, etc. doing a demo where you see how toned and fit they are, you understand what results you can obtain from a reformer class! If you are a CrossFit person, a runner, a weight lifter, Pilates, Gyro and Yoga are the perfect complement to becoming an overall fit person. read more

I originally posted this review for the business Eileen used to work at, but I'm moving it here since Pilates and Motion is her new HQ: I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but Eileen, the acupuncturist, is so deserving of recognition I feel compelled to in this case. I seriously don't know what I ever did without her. I've been seeing her for weekly 30-minute acupuncture sessions for about 6 months now. I was initially just kind of curious (but not overly optimistic) about acupuncture and its ability to alleviate my severe PMS symptoms and make my cycles shorter and more regular. When I first came to Eileen, I was also dealing with chronic fatigue, feeling cold all the time, unexplained infertility and a moderately high level of stress and general anxiety. My husband and I still haven't conceived, but Eileen's treatments have had a very observable affect on my cycles (the first time I saw her, I had just had a 36 day cycle. Each month after I started treatments, my cycles got progressively shorter, until reaching a nice, predictable 26-day pattern.) My periods are much less painful, my energy is higher, and my hands and feet aren't icy cold all the time anymore. Eileen has a very calming presence about her, and is very easy to talk to. She is extremely intuitive and compassionate and sincerely cares about helping me in any way that she can. She talks to me about how I've been feeling before each appointment, and customizes each treatment accordingly. Yesterday my stress level was quite high when I got there, and I had some anxiety that prevented me from being able to stay asleep the night before, so she focused on the best points to relieve stress and I walked out of there a new person. I was in a zen-like state for the rest of the day after my appointment, and I'm still feeling very calm. I've also come in after nursing a headache for 36 hours, and left without any pain whatsoever 45 minutes later. I just can't say enough good things about Eileen or how grateful I am to have found her! read more

Pilates and Motion is the finest studio in West Houston which offers Pilates, Gyrotonic, Gyrokinesis, yoga and other therapies. The instructors are very well trained and are committed to providing encouraging personalized instruction based on personal abilities or limitations. The studio is beautiful, clean and equipped with the finest equipment. Pilates and Gyro has had a very strong positive impact on my health. My core strength, coordination, physical motion and overall well-being has dramatically improved. I have also seen positive results from the infrared sauna such as weight loss, improved circulation and pain relief. The training provided by Pam Blangy has been integral to my success. Pam is an excellent trainer who is inspiring, incredibly knowledgeable about the body and designs effective personalized training at every session. I highly recommend anyone wanting to improve their overall health to attend a training session at the studio. Beverly S. read more

I recently started exploring Pilates and scheduled an appointment with Pam Blangy. I have to admit, I was nervous and a bit intimidated after reviewing some Pilates videos on line. I did not think I could do it at 50. Pam was amazing. She made me feel comfortable and took the time to explain everything and ease me into the routine. I could tell she loves and takes pride in what she does. She was honest and encouraging. I am definitely signing up for more classes. With her couching me, I can get to my goal. read more

Spacious, beautiful, clean studio!! Best studio in the Katy/West Houston area. The owner, Pam, is a kind and accomodating. I take private pilates classes with Jolie and she is amazing!!! She pays particular attention to my needs (I have scoliosis). I look forward to seeing her every week. read more

I am so glad I found Pilates and Motion. As an Occupational Therapist, I can appreciate their expertise. Each instructor is thoroughly trained and will develop a personalized plan according to the client's need. Analysis of movement, including tightness/ agility, weakness/ strength, balance, breathing, mind-body connection are some of the ways I can describe the evaluation process leading to the client's plan. I look forward to every session and practice what I have learned when at home. The studio is beautiful, fully equipped with Gyrotonics machines , special sauna, and a slew of other goodies. It is spotless, has a relaxing and trusting ambience, and is flowing with genuine care. If you are interested in Pilates, yoga, or Gyrotonics, this is the place you need to visit! I am a newby, in my 50's and have some medical problems, but I have seen advanced students who are incredible. They even benefit from the highly trained teachers who are continually pursuing many different advanced training classes/ seminars. Julia is incredible! I have made so much progress, thanks to her!! read more

I am a returning client after taking 2 years off. After just a few seasons my joints are feeling better and my strength is coming back. It is amazing the difference in how I feel overall. This is a wonderful studio with great instructors. Thank you Pam! read more
