I am going to try this place one more time and maybe the third time is the charm I have had good experiences and bad experiences at this studio. The first class I went to I felt like it was a studio only for the uber fit and there was no opportunities for those who are just starting out. Today I went to another class and it was really good. I didn't feel the judgement that I felt last time. It is however a very hard class and you will sweat profusely so if you need to go back to work keep that in mind. If you ever watch Busy Phillips stories on instagram from her workouts, it's similar. One minute intervals of different positions. You will be challenged no matter your level. This is done on a megaformer and is in no way like traditional pilates on a reformer. If you have an injury I would stay away from this studio while you heal. read more

I've been to Pilates Evolution twice and I definitely like it. They offer a style of high-intensity Pilates called Lagree and are one of only a handful of studios in and around Denver to do so. This method is affectionately referred to as "Pilates on steroids" and gives you a cardio, strength, and flexibility workout all in one. Yes, the class is only 40 minutes but it will challenge you and work your entire body. The instructors here deliver great classes that have you working every second and engaging your whole body. However, I've noticed they do not perform as many adjustments on students' form as at other studios offering a similar method that I've been to. They tend to assume a familiarity with the movements and method that every student may not have. Even with about 30 Lagree classes under my belt, there are times that I would like adjustments or a little more helpful cueing. The parking situation isn't ideal but that's true of any place in Cherry Creek and not at all Pilates Evolution's fault. I usually give myself ten extra minutes to find free two-hour parking on 4th or 5th and walk over. There is also metered parking right around the studio. read more

I have to concur with Ana. The MANAGEMENT IS TERRIBLE! I have been a student of pilates for over 10 yrs and have taken SPX classes with the originator Sebastien Lagree in Los Angeles CA. I recently came to Denver and thought I'd try the studio. The studio address belongs to a furniture store in Cherry Creek. Upstairs in the store's storage area, someone crammed 10 exercise machines into the space the extra furniture (complete with price tags) is stored. COLD AND DARK doesn't belong to describe the place. While the workout is truly pilates on steroids it is ONLY AS GOOD AS THE INSTRUCTOR. Over the last month, I've had a plethora of questionable experiences. I had one instructor EAT food the ENTIRE time she lead the class. Not only was it difficult to understand her directions with her mouth full but the crunching and smacking was unnerving. Another instructor held up the class for 15 min waiting for "late people" causing us to get out of class late. Not normally a big deal but due to parking meters, it can lead to expensive parking tickets. And then yet another instructor, "Mikael" who was rude and argumentative to a student in class, shouting at her that "I am a certified instructor and you WILL do the exercises I tell you to and with ONLY the modifications I ALLOW!" She left the class and I was tempted to as well. It was very unprofessional and bad customer service to berate a student in front of others. And last but not least the parking...... Cherry Creek North is a difficult area to navigate and street parking is at a premium. Regardless. the studio does not provide any type of parking. Students must pay to park at a meter or pay an even higher rate at one of the nearby parking garages. This is not only a HUGE inconvenience but adds an additional $2-5 to the cost of a class. It also requires students get there early enough to "cruise around looking for a parking place" and end up parking block away. Management does not care about feedback. Comments and/or concerns were returned with verbal hostility and self righteousness. It is unfortunate this is the only SPX studio in town. It could be a great workout if the management made it more easily accessible, engaged in better customer relations, and hired professional instructors. It's been very amusing watching the owner and the Instructors covering their tracks by creating Yelp profiles and fictitious reviews. But it is also sad that community members can not share their experiences openly without retaliation. read more

I was on a three different work trips to Denver and I made it a point to take as much classes from this studio as I can fit in my schedule. This studio was a bit out of my ways BUT Pilates Plus (SPX) is well worth any drive. The original location was weird, upstairs in a furniture place, I remember my first time It was freezing cold and we had to wait 2 minutes before class started until the instructor showed up with a cup of Starbucks, Perhaps the Barista took her time making her Mocha. What really annoyed me about that instructor is that all throughout the workout, she had her cup of coffee in her hand and she was sipping on it while asking us to move between workouts. Did not bother to ask if I am new, did not correct anybodies form, did not bother to show us any of the moves on the machine, she kept her Uggs on, walked around and enjoyed her Starbucks. Then I had a chance to try another class with Shannon and she rocked it, her music was amazing, her routine was fabulous and you can tell she is well respected and loved by the students. Now here is where it gets interesting, I e-mailed the studio about the first instructor and praised Shannon for her fabulous work, yet no one replied back. (that explains the other yelper's reviews of how the management or the owners are totally disinterested/disengaged). Recently I tried the new location and yet again Megan was fabulous, she was nice and sweet, walking around correcting form and explaining proper posture and the muscle group you are working. But yet I also had a class from a male instructor who was as arrogant as it could get, very snobbish and he knows it all. Didn't bother waste my time and e-mail the studio this time. I feel this studio has some good trainer and others that really don't care, they go in to log in the hours, teach the class and leave. But I guess it starts at the top if the owners don't care why should the trainers..? read more

I LOVE this studio. I tried it for the first time on class pass and I thought I was going to die. After a couple months of attending with class pass I purchased the one month introductory unlimited pass with the intention of going as much as I could and then going back to my class pass membership. The results I saw in just one month were incredible. After a short break of trying out a few other studios in the area I'm back and committed. The class timings work really well with my schedule! read more

This is the best workout I've ever done. It is only 40 minutes and kicks your body from top to bottom and bottom to top. I saw results in a week. I've been going for about 5 months now. I have tone everywhere, have lost weight, better posture, more confidence.. This workout uses the proformer machine rather than the reformer as in most other Pilates. It is a lot more hardcore, like the reformer machine on steroids. It's a spring loaded platform with cables and bars. You work every body part, each class is different so you're never bored and there is a huge variety of exercises and ways to use the machine. It's invigorating. Your first class is free. It is a bit expensive for the monthly unlimited memberships so I have signed up whenever I can get a deal or if you refer a friend to it and can get a discount. I gave only four stars just due to the cost of the classes. It is a bit more expensive than I'd like but the benefits are such that I still love it and I just look for ways to get discounted classes. It's worth it. I use the heck out of my monthly memberships and usually go 5 times a week. If you want to do something that saves time, is like personal training and motivating I recommend Pilates evolution. It is way more advanced than regular pilates and you will feel and see your body change. You work your muscles to failure. The exercise sets are done on a timed countdown. The machine is amazing. The instructors are wonderful. Everyone is friendly and it is in a beautiful building and clean. Love this and will be continuing to workout here for a long time to come. read more

Ouch. Whoa. Yikes. Awesome! This is like Pilates on crack and steroids. (not that I'd know, since I've never done Pilates, crack OR steroids but it was crazy intense). If you don't know what this is - you are on a pilates machine and use it to its full potential by doing a series of moves for 1 minute each for a 40 minute class. I never realized how long a minute was until I was here. I worked out here twice - the first time was free, and the Friday night "Community" class ($10 class) and had two different experiences. The first was with Drill Sargent (i.e. Kerri). This class was hard core. She had on loud, fun music and she made us do things I didn't even know my body would consider doing. I was one of the only first-timers in the class, and got about a 30 second overview of the machine. Thankfully my friend was on the machine next to mine and showed me the way throughout the class. Kerri was a little too "talky" for own taste and I was sore immediately after we finished. On the difficulty meter - this class was an 8.5 out of 10. Although I could not walk, could barely wave goodbye and laughing hurt, I was not to be dissuaded from giving this place another chance. Hello community class - This was led by Micah and he was wonderful. He spent time to explain the pilates machine and did a good job explaining our transition moves as we were doing them during the class. He played more rock music (which was fine, although I did think Kerri's music was more my work-out speed). This class was about a 6 out of 10 and while I was sore, I didn't feel like I was going to be immobile for the next two days. All in all - i would recommend this place if you want a really killer workout, can handle not being good at something at first try AND enjoy being physically/mentally challenged. Oh, and the best part, if you can still raise you arm, chill-in is two stores down so you can treat yourself to fro-yo. Parking can be annoying (it is cherry creek, after all) and this is in the upstairs of Djuna (sort of weird). I did love that the class is 10 people max, so you can get one-on-one attention. read more

As one of the few male clients at Pilates Evolution, I have to say that this is a solid workout for men. While Pilates is perceived as a workout for women, it was created by a man, and in this form it is very effective. I used to do Crossfit, but found myself getting overuse injuries. I thought I was strong but SPX showed me that certain muscles are strong at the expense of others. Using a reformer with full range of motion exercises based in the Pilates tradition has identified weaknesses in my core and helped me to begin building a more balanced physique. You will sweat when you do this workout, and your heart rate will be challenged, the forty minute workout gets a lot done. I can't imagine doing the advanced 55 minute sessions. The studio is attractive, clean, and the equipment is all in great condition. The instructors are professional and involved with the clients. Because class size is kept to a maximum of 10 clients, you will get personal attention if you need it. read more

Attended a 40 min class and loved it! Micah instructed. He was attentive and helpful - very personable and nice. He helped me with modifications in the routine since I am recovering from an injury. All in all this class was really fun and absolutely challenging... I can't tell a lie ... I had jelly legs walking out of there, but in a really good way! Also a plus: great music to really get you working! read more

Been coming for a few months. Yes, it's tricky at first-- you won't get a ton of guidance but if you're unsure, just ask! And you WILL get the hang of it. Don't feel self conscious. Everyone was a beginner once. Try to choose a machine between two people so you always have someone to look at if you're unsure of the move. Overall I think they have the best Lagree teachers in Denver and I have tried all the other studios. Regular attendance has healed an old hip injury. I have been happy! My one piece of feedback is to offer more form tips for newbies and oldies alike :) read more

Fire your trainer!!! I love Pilates Evolution. I have seen more results in five weeks of pilates evolution than I did in the past three years with a trainer. The classes are hard but worth it. The teachers are all a little different in difficulty. Try different ones that fit your level and if you are new, start with the beginner class. The studio is not dark like someone mentioned. It is bright and clean. As far as the cancellation policy, most group classes charge if you cancel last minute. There are only 10 spaces in the class and most classes are full. It is fair that they charge just like every other studio in Denver. As far as the parking issue, it's cherry creek north so there will be parking issues but there is free parking in the neighborhood which requires a 2 block walk (a warm-up for your workout). I highly recommend trying Pilates Evolution. I love it!!! It is expensive but worth it. read more

The best Pilates workout you can get. This is not traditional Pilates, so I understand why those looking for corrections or a particular method would prefer elsewhere. This method is more for calorie burning (it's high-tempo cardio) and muscle building. It's only 40 minutes, so you'll get in shape quickly due to the strength building, but won't burn out due to the short class time. I used to do this class in LA; the Denver location is just as good. read more

Love, love, love this studio. I have been running for years and I was not seeing any noticable improvements lately. After going to three classes, I not only increased the muscle definition in my legs, butt and core, but I also lost inches. The instructors are all very good and they keep the workouts fresh so it's not the same thing every time. They also are great about giving friendly reminders regarding form to help ensure the maximum benefit for each muscle group we are targeting. I definitely recommend to go to the beginner class if you are new. read more

I love P.E. I've been going to this studio for about three years. It's challenging from day one and the results are noticeable within a month. It's my absolute must have workout. read more

I've heard great things about Pilates Evolution, unfortunately my built up expectations were NOT met. The Saturday my mom and I booked our class, there was a 5 minute break between classes. That was odd for us but it gave the instructor no transition time. There was no welcome/intro/hello to the class before starting, no modifications offered for injuries (no question at all of injuries since she didn't even introduce herself to new students), it felt completely rushed and uninterested. I will not be returning to this studio, it was disorganized from start to finish! Maybe schedule classes with longer breaks in between and different instructors ... Autumn seemed over it by the time our class started. read more

I took the reformer class through ClassPass and loved it!! I am seriously considering canceling ClassPass and purchasing a membership with this studio. The instructor was so friendly, and she gave me extra attention since it was my first time. I was working muscles I didn't even know I had and am still sore two days later. The studio itself is clean and has many windows that overlook the streets. The location is perfect, and there is a parking garage. read more

My review is about Southglenn PE studio, the newer addition to Cherry Creek location, but I didn't find it on Yelp, so I post it here. I know that the both places are under the same ownership and share the same instructors. The Southglenn place is amazing, it is clean and modern, it has plenty of parking, water for students, convenient schedule and friendly, knowledgeable and motivating instructors, who are highly respectful to their students busy schedules. And the best part: these 40 minute classes really work! I really see the difference after taking PE classes for seven months. Would recommend PE to anyone who want shape his/her body strong enough to tolerate serious discomfort and even pain during the workout. read more

Love the workouts here. If you get bored in traditional Pilates classes this class is for you. If you are a runner, cyclist, athlete, or even someone just looking to get back into shape this class is for you. It's an effective full body toning workout that is done in 40mins, who doesn't love that!? SPX style Pilates builds long lean muscles, strength, and flexibility. The studio is very light and airy. The equipment is well maintained, and if the other clients are any indication of the potential results, this is one of the best workouts in town. Autumn is one of the best SPX instructors in the country and has the best playlists! Her class is perfect for beginners and fitness freaks alike. I've been in fitness for 16 years and I can't get enough of her classes. THE BEST read more

I love Pilates Evolution! I've never done Pilates before but I was becoming uninspired at my regular gym and wanted to switch things up. I bought a single class for $10 to try and it and loved it. The instructors are very friendly and helpful showing how to do moves the correct way. They play music during the 40 minute class and it's a very challenging work out, in the best way. My body hurts so good after the class and I know it's working well! I immediately bought the new client $99 for an unlimited one month. read more

I am obsessed with this workout! It's 40 minutes, and I really love how they respect everyone's time by starting & ending, almost down to the minute, per the class schedule. I always leave sore in the best way, feeling every muscle recovering until the next round. I'm addicted! The instructors are super nice & knowledgeable. They aren't overly hands-on, which is good for experienced class-goers that may elect to modify the moves for different reasons, but, if you are newer, or just want help with your form, reach out at the beginning of class & the instructors will help. I LOVE this studio! read more

This is a Lagree pilates studio. Takes a couple of classes to get the hang of the megaformer, so don't get discouraged if you feel like you might faceplant at your first class. I have seen huge improvements in my core strength that I was never able to attain even when I had an unlimited membership to CorePower. I also have a butt now. Instructors are awesome. I'm obsessed! read more

Pilates Evolution has great instructors and a comfortable setting. I enjoyed the class so much I wanted to become a member. However, the MANAGEMENT HERE IS TERRIBLE! I bought a Living Social deal and thought this would be a great way to get into pilates. The deal was for unlimited classes over a course of the month. I bought it understanding that if I were to miss a class my entire membership would be canceled. There was that unforeseen circumstance that resulted in me not being able to go to a class. I received an email from them giving me an option to cancel my membership or pay $25 for missing my class. I tried working with them and explained that I really enjoyed what I had done, however I wasn't in a position financially to pay $25 for missing a class that I had already paid for. I asked if I would be able to continue my last two classes however I was told, "We are trying to run a business, and stick to the policies we set in motion so that we are not taken advantage of." What I heard loud and clear is that they don't mind taking advantage of their customers. I explained I wanted to be a member of Pilates Evolution on a regular basis, however they were perfectly fine losing a Living Social customer over $25 and suffer bad word of mouth. The way I see it, I didn't owe them anything. I paid for my one month membership and only once participated in a class that was full. read more

TERRIBLE instructors and no management present at all. Moral of this review-- don't even try the free class...you're better suited just looking up a different studio all together. Shame on me for buying a starter package on Living Social without checking it out and doing any homework...if I would have asked around or just stopped by I never would have done it. Is way too expensive for the way the place is run and the lack of...well, everything! The instructors are probably the worst in town-- attitude and teaching ability. You may get a decent sweat sometimes, but don't hurt yourself in the process. Went to multiple classes and tried EVERY instructor they have...not one showed me the equipment, corrected my form, or even said hello with an introduction. Thankfully I had a little experience under my belt otherwise I am certain the classes would have done more harm than good. I was obviously a little lost with the names of the exercises and nobody even pretended to care. Micah was by far the only instructor with any teaching background however his classes filled up over a week in advance; and still no introduction...even after attending his classes more than once. Glad to say my package has expired and I'll never go there again. Do yourself a favor and don't go either. I'm not sure what's going on with the other reviews but I would have to agree with the girl above, from personal experience, that the instructors have to be the ones leaving the great reviews. This place is run like a joke and the instructors are even worse. The End. read more

While the workout is definitely hard and it makes you sweat it is not traditional Pilates. The instructors are more worried about getting more exercise and then they are about doing exercises properly. The problem with this is that it could lead to injury easily. I practice Pilates because I really enjoy the methodical, intentional movements it helps me to have great form and posture etc. This studio's classes are not that. If that is what you're into then maybe the studio is for you but I will not be going back. read more

I did my very first Pilates class here and wow it's probably the most challenging thing I've ever done in my life. The workout is slow and class is only 40 minutes but it definitely left me sweating. Recommend to anyone looking for challenging workout and muscle toning read more

You will definitely feel it after these classes. As mentioned, your first one is free. I only go when I get a deal since the classes are pricier ($30 for a single class). I liked Mikael and Micah as teachers...both really focused on my form. read more

I have only been to the classes at the Centennial location, but they are great. Great instructors, challenging class (I'm always sore afterward!), very friendly and helpful if you're new to Pilates. I only dinged it a star because the class times are very, very limited, especially on the weekends when there are only 3 classes a day, all in the a.m. There should be at least 1 afternoon class on Saturdays and Sundays. read more

Awesome! Took my first (free) class today whit Carlynn and she was such a great instructor. She took time show me the overview of the machine. She made me feel really welcome and adjusted me when needed. The class was HARD but in a god way, it works your whole body from top to bottom. I am likely going to be making the switch from yoga for a membership here. I really liked the studio space, it was bright and warm with lots of sun light. Overall I got a great vibe and am hooked! read more

It has been almost Three weeks for me into trial first month fir $99 and I like the instructors- they are all super sweet, accommodating and nice, but the owner is terrible. I know that they have strict cancellation policy and she is at a good location, but boy was I shocked to receive an email that she needs to my credit card ASAP to charge me for 2 missed classes- otherwise she will cancel my prepaid rest of the month and I won't be allowed in the studio. First of all their cancellation policy is 10 hours prior and first class I did cancel at 10.15 Pm for the next morning 7.30 am class. And second of all I have 2 toddlers and things sometimes just happen and out of my control. But despite that I do my best to make it to each scheduled class on time. The music plays a bit too invasively loud, but the routine is hard and challenging enough. I just don't know if I would rather give my business who doesn't use threats to discipline you that way. read more

The studio is fantastic! I am a very active individual and incorporate exercise from Pilates to weight training to extensive cycling and soccer. Pilates Evolution provides an amazing work out in only 40 minutes. I love going after a long work day when I really just want to sit and rest. Once I have finished a class I feel rejuvenated and like I have benefited from a whole body work out. Please don't assume these classes are like a normal Pilates routine, but if you are looking for a killer work out this is the place to be! If you are just starting back into exercise for whatever reason I would recommend doing a beginner class since the work out can be quite intense. Overall I think it's a great addition to my exercise regimen. I would definitely recommend it! read more

Parking in Cherry Creek North is a hassle! The studio is hard to locate. It is a windowless furniture store attic. During my first class the instructors 2 dogs whined and barked the entire class. During my next class and also last class, a fellow clients baby cried and screamed in a stroller several feet away. A workout should be fun and not feel like babysitting in my parents attic. Not for me! read more

Just got a group on package and was excited by the pricing as I have been really getting into pilates. This is NOT pilates in the sense of Joseph Pilates. (Based on the class I took I am pretty sure he would roll over in his grave). No mindfulness, no corrections on form, no modifications for physical issues. Be careful if you really want a true pilates class or studio...this is not it. On the plus side you will feel the workout and you will sweat. read more

I was in town for the day and decided to go. I had thought this was a real megaformer class or at least an intense Pilates class but it was fairly traditional. Being new to the studio, I expected the instructor to ask me about injuries, tell me about their machine (which isn't a standard megaformer) but I actually walked in and there wasn't anyone there. The door was unlocked. I signed a waiver because I saw it sitting there, not because I was asked. The instructor never introduced herself. I was never asked if I had injuries (which I do). The class was awful. I didn't break a sweat. After also trying Fierce45 on the same trip, I would much rather go to fierce45 than PE. I would recommend others to avoid this place unless they want a geriatric workout and to be ignored by instructors who don't show any person attention to form. read more
