I never received a phone call or email from you to clarify this matter, so please don't make up lies to make this story look good! About six months ago, my friend came to visit and wanted a joint lesson, so we signed up together, and this time after you asked me to leave because I made a mistake at the time of the lesson I chose, I asked for my money back. I didn't even know that you would act in such a vindictive manner towards your past customers, so I signed up yesterday as well and to my surprise and disappointment was the disrespectful treatment I received from you. In my opinion, you are behaving in the most disrespectful way! You notified me while I was looking for parking before entering the class! And you charged me another $30 for a late fee!!!! The height of insolence! I'm still waiting for my money back! Regarding your scheduling and registration, it didn't work for me personally as a mother of 3, so I felt that the money I was paying wasn't worth it to me if I couldn't schedule classes! I tried both morning and evening, the availability was very low! It didn't work for me in any way, so it makes sense for me to stop subscribing to you. And yes, you will also regret that you are not doing your job properly, neither with fairness nor with respect!

Melinda is truly the best Pilates instructor. She is so sweet and welcoming, and I was really…read moretouched that she remembered me after just one or two classes. It really shows how attentive and caring she is with her students. I've been coming here for about two years now, usually taking a class every few months since I like to mix up my workouts. I always make sure to include it in my routine and try to book classes when Melinda is teaching. She takes the time to correct form in such a supportive way, which makes a big difference. Each class is a great mix of stretching and strength-building through Pilates, and I always leave feeling stronger, more aligned, and refreshed.

Have taken 3 (challenging) classes here and I am a fan…read more I was on the fence after my initial arrival at the first class because they clearly wrote on their website 10 minutes early for instruction and orientation but when I arrived early the teacher had also just arrived and I think my early arrival left her unsettled. Anyway, it wasn't my first time on a reformer machine so I had that advantage and the quick reintroduction was sufficient. I also knew from the website to bring grip socks, a typical requirement at Pilates studios but don't forget. They sell them if you do for $18. The high intensity, slow tempo strength training description hits the nail on the head. That is highly accurate. It feels so good on the body but yields muscle failure and quivering legs. It is so intense. As is typical post Pilates, I have soreness in parts of my body I didn't realize existed. Currently it's my flanks, the sides of my stomach. I love it. I love that it's in the canyon, easily accessible and intimate. If you want to go, book early. There are only 7 slots per class. It's an intimate space and setting that offers little distraction during the workout. Pilates perfection served up. Awen Pilates gets the honor of 700th Yelp review!

They guide you through the exercises and keep it positive. The studio has lots of time slots available and the pricing is fair compared to other studios. Now to the CONS The studio is dirty. I've only gone twice and both times it's back to back classes so the studio doesn't get cleaned in between. Both times, I saw lots of hair on the floor, my mat, in the reformer and just lots of other crumbs and boogers, whatever else accumulated throughout the day. The class is designed like a circuit and you don't use the reformer the entire time, both times juts one exercise used the machine. It's very strange to be in a Pilates studio and not use the machines more. The equipment (weights, benches,etc) is worn out, cracked, dirty and just needs updating. Overall, I got a great workout regardless and was sweating my brains out so if this stuff is not an issue, you will enjoy the class as everyone else in there is happy to be there and clearly been coming for a while. But for me, I really wanted a reformer class that utilizes the machines for the majority, if not the entirety of the class.
