If you want to live a longer, stronger, healthier life, come to this amazing, welcoming place that took my chubby, intimidated self and lovingly turned me into the strongest I've ever been!! Try Stephen Matthews...he's just amazing! His knowledge and patience are legendary!! One class with him is like 10!! He is SO good about making sure your form is correct, that you get 10x the benefits!! I have learned SO much in such a short time!! He's kind and FUN and a super duper trainer!! read more

Awesome Studio! Ron is amazing. We were in town for a 4 day weekend and took his studio's "Circuit Sweat". Great class, super clean studio and a very friendly guy! read more

I am new to town and have been practicing Pilates for several years. I found the studio on-line, and I am so happy I did! Ron has a strong Pilates background and it shows in his classes. All of the classes I have attended are motivating, challenging, and a lot of fun! I am learning new exercises every time I go! There are many levels of classes offered every day of the week all day long, and the studio is very affordable for frequent junkies, like myself. I would definitely check out this amazing studio! read more

Great Pilates place! Ron is excellent and very attentive. The place is super clean and all the equipment is in great condition. 5/5 would recommend to come if you are in Palm Springs and want a great workout. read more

Who else better to work out with on a Sunday morning? The awesome staff of pilates plus Palm Springs and Marilyn Monroe! :) oh and you get to help a charity while you're at it! read more

This place is fantastic! Good for all levels of experience and they give easy to understand instructions. I have been dealing with some back problems and every instructor (Ron, Stephen, Niki) will go out of their way to modify an exercise to take into account people with bad backs. Thank you for your attention to detail! read more

I have taken classes with all 4 instructors and i have loved them all! great clean studio, everyone that attends and teaches is kind, funny and welcoming :) I have been a Pilates devotee for a few years now, but they have brought me to the next level! Great value in the packages as well, I highly recommend. read more

New to Pilates, I wanted to establish a vacation-mode exercise routine while visiting. Unimpressed by the group class scene (spinning, cardio, etc.) at several Palm Springs health clubs, I "settled" on a 5-session, $75 membership at Pilates Plus. I can't believe my good fortune: Pilates Plus was GREAT. I took two classes with Ashley who is a friendly, gentle and firm instructor. I took a class with Stephen who was equally up to the task. And I finished my week with two classes from Ron. His fun style, friendly banter and obvious expertise with Pilates and physiology made me feel very comfortable. Plus, he's got a great sense of humor. Pilates Plus has a variety of classes, some suited for neophytes like me and others restricted to advanced Pilates students. And they offer online registration, payment, and sign-ups, allowing one to finalize a weeklong, class schedule before arriving in Palm Springs or, in my case, to book each class the night before. read more

Best place to workout no matter your fitness level. Excellent teachers, small classes and a true caring for health and wellness.

I've been finally getting my lazy ass back to Pilates Plus. I love this place! Highly recommend. I especially love how attentive Stephen, one of the instructors, has been with me and the other students. He's really good at giving everyone individual attention. Good at keeping your form! read more

I take Form & Stretch w/Ron Duran and it's been life changing. When I'm disciplined about going to class, my chronic lower back pain and muscle tightness disappears. I also do Rhythm Ride classes w/Mike Cohan; he's my favorite spin instructor in the desert. Hands down. Pilates Plus is an amazing studio with amazing instructors. Highly recommend! read more

Place totally Rocks! Great people, great environment.

The best Pilates studio in the valley! All the instructors are fantastic. They are open 7 days a week and have classes throughout the day that fit my schedule. I love this place! read more

I have been coming to Palm Springs for the winter months for a few years now, but hadn't searched out the Pilates studios. I finally did this year, and discovered Pilates Plus to be the most accommodating. Plenty of class times and Stephen and Ron are very attentive to form. There is nice variety of classes and I am discovering the advantages of the wunda chair! I signed up for the new member special to give me the ability to sample everything. Love how my muscles feel pleasantly fatigued after class and that my joints haven't taken a beating! read more

Awesome studio with amazing instructors. A true exercise jewel in the desert. I get bored really quickly with exercise routines and this studio has kept my interest and engaged me to keep to a routine that is fun and shows results. read more

The best workout you can possibly get in 50 minutes. Un-fing-believable... If I miss ONE thing about living in Palm Springs full time, it's Pilates class with Ron Duran! The best. Highly recommended! read more

There's lots of things to do while visiting/living in Palm Springs...but Pilates Plus (especially with Ron!) should always be on the list. The studio is immaculate, well organized and well run. For first timers (or those new to PS), it's a completely welcoming environment from the moment you walk in the door. If you are like me, you may be initially intimidated by the reformers and the other tools of the trade. But not to worry. The instructors walk you through everything step by step and make sure everyone gets the attention they need. We took a "Sculpt" class this last Saturday and had a great time. It's amazing how simple, controlled movement can be 10 times as beneficial as pushing the limits with heavy weights at the gym. And it's way more fun! I can't say enough great things about Ron. He is an inspiration to us all. read more

Big thanks to Ron and all the instructors at Palm Springs Pilates Plus. I have scoliosis and have been experiencing back pain. Several doctors have mentioned pilates to me instead of medicine. I cannot believe the difference I feel. I left for a few months and realized I need to go back. Not only do i feel stronger, but I no longer have any back pain. 10 stars in my book, more of a cure instead of a mask to the problem. read more

Pilates Plus of Palm Springs is changing my life! Having just moved to the desert I was searching for the right form of exercise. Having tried Pilates in the past at larger studios I was skeptical. After attending a few classes and I became hooked. The professionalism, passion, and knowledge of the instructors is unbelievable! Each one is very different and all extremely knowledgeable they are incredible! Truly I am seeing changes in my body almost daily, this is the best exercise program I have ever done. Not to mention the studio is the most welcoming and friendly place to be! I look forward to every class! read more

i have been taking lessons at Palm Springs Pilates for almost two years. I have had the pleasure of having several different instructors, each one bringing their unique and knowledgeable approach. This place is a gem and a must for anyone considering making lasting changes to their bodies and mind. Bravo guys, keep up the great work! read more

Ron Duran and his staff are absolutely the best. I've been a member for approx. 5 years and can't begin to rave about how much these guys have helped me with severe arthritic issues. Most importantly they really pay attention to the members and give corrections as needed. I am very appreciative of everyone at Pilates Plus Palm Springs! read more

I've been coming here for six months and I can't think of a better thing I could have done for my physical health. Prior, my exercise routines had come to a halt because of a car accident a year before joining. After all kinds of therapies, chiropractic work and message therapy, taking these classes were the thing that got me feeling better faster. I saw my chiropractor three months in and asked if I should continue to see him. He said, no need as long as I was taking the Pilates. He was surprised to see how well my neck and shoulders were doing. The strength and toning my body is going through is phenominal, and equally important my posture and balance has improved dramatically. All of the teachers bring their own personalities and uniqueness to the table and are all professional and expertly trained. I never, ever feel "wrong" about the way I do things there. A tweak in a position here and there from the instructor is not uncommon which makes me feel like I have a private instructor. I just booked an entire months worth of classes through the holidays and am so juiced that they're all in place. Oh, they have spinning too if you need some aerobics. Plus, it's easy to make friends in the classes! Thank you Ron, Stephen and staff! read more

If your serious about getting strong and fit this is the place. After only 9 weeks I am stronger and leaner. More importantly my lower back pain is gone. The small class size makes for excellent attention from the instructors. Do yourself a favor and take a class, you'll be hooked. Lori read more

I am a full time resident in Palm Springs and Pilates Plus has become my go to place just about every morning. Besides being an awesome workout it has become a social scene. So fun to see people working hard to be health and strong. Couple the great workout at Pilates Plus with a bike ride and I start everyday a happy girl! Thanks Ron, Steve and Ashley for your great instruction and patience. Connie read more

I live in Santa Monica, so am not a regular at Pilates Plus-Palm Springs. I wish I was!! I took a group pilates class with Skipp and a Form and Stretch class with Ron; they were two of the best classes I've ever been in (and I'm a veteran of many West LA exercise classes, pilates, bar method, etc.). The instructors have a very strong rapport with their regular clientele; however, they were equally encouraging and supportive of visitors. The classes were challenging, but you really felt that you could go at your own pace. I can't say enough good things about Pilates Plus-Palm Springs. I just wish they were in Santa Monica! read more

I've been a student at Pilates Plus for about a year and half. I take 4 to 5 classes a week and regret when I have to miss class due to my heavy travel schedule for work in the fall. Some of the things I love about this studio are the trainer's dedication, enthusiasm, professionalism, knowledge and best of the entire fun attitude they bring with them everyday. Each trainer brings something different and new to each class every day so you don't feel like you're doing the same thing week after week. I have seen such a dramatic change in my body! The best thing is my flexibility. I am doing stretches that I haven't done since my days as a professional dancer more than 10 years ago. The location is great; as a matter of fact their entire complex just went thru an amazing renovation. The studio is always clean and the equipment is state of the art. I'd recommend this to all my friends and family. A HUGE THANK YOU to Ron, Skipp, Paul, Jasmine, Lorrie, Juanita and Sean for bringing to us the gift of health, strength and a tighter ass! read more

Amazing Classes... I am new to pilates... I really like the personal attention you get. Even in a class of 10, there is tons of motavation... I am a new pilates junkie!! read more

I've been attending classes at Pilates Plus Palm Springs for almost three years and it's changed my life. I have more energy and am so much more in tune with my body. Classes are fun and always have a variety of exercises to keep things fresh and moving. It's the perfect combination of stretch, strength and increased heart rate while keeping the mind focused and clear. Pilates Plus caters to all levels of fitness. You'll never feel out of place or like you don't know what your doing. The vibe is casual and never judgemental. Come in whatever condition your body and mind might be and you'll find a comfortable and supportive environment in which you'll achieve your personal goals. read more

My husband and I take Pilates in our home town and are in Palm Springs for a month and didn't want to miss the routine and benefits of our regular classes. Pilates Plus is great! Ashley has been super helpful getting us signed up and our first class with Ron was terrific. He is very knowledgeable and takes care to be sure everyone is doing the exercises with good form. I like that the classes are limited to 10 participants which ensures you get the attention you need. Pilates is an excellent way to improve core strength and posture. If you already know Pilates you will love this class. If you've never tried it, this is a great opportunity to learn from a professional and friendly team. We signed up for the 8 class in 30 days special and are excited to be able to keep up with our fitness routine. read more

I travel to Palm Springs frequently, and since my 24 hour gym closed down in Cat City, I was looking for a place to get a workout in. A desert friend introduced me to the studio a few years ago. At first, I was skeptical on whether I'd get a good workout in (in such a short time). I had heard about Pilates (as many celebrities do it to keep in shape), and said, "What do I have to lose by trying it"? Pilates Palm Springs had a wonderful introductory price, so I signed up. I was thinking Pilates was going to be similar to Yoga, but it wasn't at all. Also, this is not mat pilates. We work on a "bed" called a reformer that allows your body to stretch, tone, & elongate. I am actually sweating when I am done with my workout!!! Years later, I'm still hooked. The 50 minute workout goes by quickly and while I do an intense level class now, I find it super enjoyable. Afterwards, I always feel as though I gave my body a gift! I feel terrific and I stand taller & straighter!!! I have to give a special shout out to Ron. He is an amazing teacher!!! If you are just starting here, I'd try to get a class with him, as he will spend the time with you to make sure you are keeping proper form and breathing correctly. I also appreciate how he explains every excercise and tells you its' benefit. Oh....One last thing: I am now at the advanced level, but beginners can choose do a Form & Stretch classes or Intermediate level classes. There are also Wunda Chair classes that have been recently introduced, and now Spinning classes too! Something for everyone! Enjoy! read more

I've been a member of Pilates Plus Palm Springs for four years, and I intend to be for the rest of my life. Now in my early fifties, I am pleased that with regular Pilates classes, I've been able to build muscle, remain limber, alleviate aches and pains, and elevate my mood. The instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. It's so much fun to exercise alongside familiar friends as well as visitors from all over the world. I love Pilates Plus!! read more

The most incredible 50 minutes that you could ever give to yourself. Pilates Plus will transform your body like nothing else ever could. The instructors are phenomenal, fabulous, well trained - it's like having a personal trainer - PLUS. The studio caters to all levels of fitness, and you will always feel comfortable in whatever class you chose. read more

Started taking Pilates at this studio about 6 months ago , I was referred by a friend , the instructors are amazing , I feel as though I am getting personalized assistance and I have never felt better .. I highly recommend this studio. read more

So glad I found this studio. Being a "newbie" to group reformer classes I was a bit hesitant to try. From the moment I walked into the studio I felt welcomed by Ron (the instructor) as well as the other people taking the class. Ron is the epitome of what a teacher should be. He was patient, clear in his direction , realistic but firm in his expectations and was able to do it all with humor and a kind gentle spirit. He really knows his stuff. Can't say enough about what a positive experience this has been! read more

Pilates Plus is everything I love about Palm Springs wrapped up one one gorgeous, mid century modern studio. It's intimate classes allow owner and head instructor Ron to really help you hone and tone. He kicked my a$$ good this weekend. And I can't wait to come back to my next class! read more

This is a great Pilates Studio. I dropped in for two classes in Feb 2017 when we were visiting for 2 weeks -- drop in is no problem -- just register on the website. It was just great to do some Pilates after travelling; the instructors were attentive, alert to student individual issues, tailored the exercises to meet specific needs and generally made the whole session very, very agreeable. Can't wait until next year when we spend a month in SP. I will definitely be going back to Pilates Plus. read more

I love my workouts at Pilates Plus! I may be one of the older clients at 68 but I feel stronger than I would have ever believed. Great supportive atmosphere with real challenges. I have NEVER been really fit and had not found a program I could stick with but now I am addicted. I go to 5 or 6 classes weekly. As a great bonus, with no dietary change, my cholesterol has dropped 35 points. What's not to love?! read more
