It can be intimidating to start but the calories you burn in a short amount of time is incredible. There's also plenty of street parking!

If you are one of the many of us, trying to get back into shape after Covid, Truve Fit should be…read moreyour first stop. A key factor of whether you will stick with an exercise program is the having a frictionless environment. Truve has validated parking at the Hive so you do not have to be driving around in circles trying to figure out where you can park safely and get into the class on time. When you walk in through the front doors, the vibe is very chill so you do not feel anxious walking into class. Most importantly, the other people working in the gym are extremely supportive and will become your community quickly. Having all these things in place makes a fitness routine so much easier to establish. There are even free community classes if that's how you prefer to give this place a try. The instructors are excellent. Classes are capped at 10 for general fitness classes, and three for Pilates. As a result, their instructors can give you abundant corrections and attention so you avoid injuries and develop great form. If you are worried that you don't know how to use a Pilates Reformer, you can hire a private trainer for three classes to learn the ropes like I did. This is the premier gym in Oakland for rehabilitation from injuries. I am a 7 year cancer survivor who has had numerous surgeries. Each time, I've had to fight back to regain my health, strength and flexibility. My last surgery was major, set me back the farthest, and happened during the height of the pandemic; recovery felt close to impossible until I walked through these doors. Not only have I converted fat into muscle, lost weight, gotten so much stronger and gained so much range of motion over 5 months, but I can keep trying new things like TRX Bootcamp that turned out to be fun. Truve's got a wide range of things you can try to keep from being bored. Also, you can go buy fresh baked bread and pastries at Firebrand Artisan Bakery next store or empanadas at Javi's Empanadas caddy corner after you finish your workout. Truve's location is fabulous.

I really appreciate how open she is to listening to feedback, and I've also noticed how she interacts with first-timers. The level of attention and care she shows--especially by asking about injuries the club should know about--really stands out. It makes new members feel seen, safe, and comfortable. She's truly the cherry on top of an already amazing team of instructors.

I am a bit sore today, but it means my body is working! Disco was an excellent instructor and easy to follow.

I'm a big fan of Michelle Danna's classes. She keeps things varied (I never think to look at the clock when she's teaching), has an eagle eye for form and is just a joy to be around. I've worked out in both the reformer room and the springboard room (sometimes both in one class) and can vouch that both are clean and well maintained. Recently, the Saturday class I'd been taking with Michelle dropped off the schedule and I was sad to see it go. Then, almost like magic, I received a call from PrecisionPoint Pilates telling me it was back on. I found this to be a super considerate (and smart!) move on their part and I really appreciated being able to get my stretch on last Saturday because of it. If you're looking for a relaxed and welcoming Pilates studio in the Grand Lake area, PrecisionPoint Pilates is it.

I look forward to Amy's weekly class online and love in person privates with Bonnie and Nadya. I continued doing Pilates throughout my second pregnancy and after my baby was born.

All of the instructors are so thoughtful about exercises and adjustments to deal with my diastasis recti and got me to a place where my body is strong enough and I felt comfortable to do everything I want to. wish I got to go more often!

I needed to freeze my membership due to a surgery and the owner did not hesitate, even wishing me well on my recovery. At any other studio, I would be charged for such a last minute change.

I even went to a different lagree studio regularly when I moved for a summer and my body changed for the worse only after 3 months-- it really shows you how effective and unique BOLD is. I guess I can never move haha.

I found Bayside…read morePilates on the web, and went with them because they had a nice site and because they had great prices on classes. I have been really pleased with my choice. Faye is an excellent teacher! She provides excellent group and individual classes. She pays a lot of attention to each student and remembers all of their physical histories. She really works with past injuries and current concerns. I've seen a lot of progress, and actually enjoy coming to class to exercise! Faye makes the workouts challenging without killing you, and makes exercising fun.

I was at the point where the injury was mostly healed but all of the surrounding muscles lost their strength and were not working properly due to over-compensation and in the case of my abs, inactivity. I came to Faye suffering from severe sciatica. I couldn't walk more than a half a block without severe pain in my lower back. Faye took on a pretty hard case with me and let me tell you, Faye is a GREAT teacher! She has infected me with Pilates. I can't stop! It doesn't hurt my back! Her passion for her calling is wonderful and inspiring. 1. She is very knowledgeable and well-trained in her field. She explains everything she is asking you to do and how it works to strengthen you. 2. She corrects your form carefully so that you will not hurt yourself. Make sure you fill out her form thoroughly so that she can help you not to re-injure yourself. 3. The studio is beautifully designed, furnished and is spotless! Very zen and all new! She takes very good care of her equipment and asks you to do so too. I really like that. It shows her respect for her calling, herself, and her clients. 4. She is affordable. Believe me, other studios are more expensive and aren't nearly as approachable or nice. 5. Her attitude towards her students is helpful, nurturing and fun. She makes you want to come back. For those who know me, exercise was NOT my favorite thing. But this is really fun. She is encouraging, even when I feel like a beached whale on her equipment. 6. You will see results. I have gone for 6 times now, I think, and I can see the results in my yoga, cycling and walking. Yes, Pilates is making other exercise more fun for me. Already, less pain, and my workers comp chiropractor says that Faye is having me do exactly the right things! Oh Joy! 7. Her studio is in a safe area with a big inexpensive parking lot about a block away. And after your workout... there's Piedmont Avenue to explore! This is great for your body, and I love it. I am not some perfectly trim, dancer's body, young, athletic hipster. I'm a plump mom in my late 50's. If I can be helped, ANYONE can be helped by Faye and her Pilates studio. Give her a try. You will love it.
