I came here once while I was visiting Charleston for the weekend. Decent workout, but don't care…read morefor the attitude. Here's the thing... A megaformer workout is a fantastic workout anywhere you go as long as the instructor knows what s/he is doing. I'd say the classes here are up to par with classes I've taken in CA and NY, except you're paying big city prices for a short class (40 minutes instead of the usual 50-60 minutes at other studios), so the $35 price tag is very steep all things considered. The class was small and not full on a Monday morning- 5 people, including my last minute sign up in person. The teacher/owner did not focus much on form. I've taken other classes where the instructors are really good about making adjustments and watching students, even with larger groups. I had not taken a megaformer class in a year and felt she could've guided a little better (rather than expect us to just stare at other students who sometimes didn't know what was going on either). I had to complain twice about the cables on my machine being uneven (making it difficult to do symmetrical exercises) before she suggested I move to another machine; this was after she told me i might have uneven arms... I had to stare at her helplessly a few times before she helped me toward the last half of the class. So, to be fair, she did eventually come help me out. First classes are $20. If you look at the advertisements and the cards they have at the studio, your first class should be $20, but... it depends on the owner's discretion. She claims that the offer is only valid for locals, but that seems completely arbitrary, especially when the ads don't say that (see attached). None of the studios in NYC condition their first time specials on where you live. And in New York larger studios like SLT offer two classes for $36 for newcomers. When she proceeded to charge me $35 for my first session, I asked whether there were any intro offers to confirm... and she started to talk about her doing intro packages in New York where she just got back from vacation and I had to politely stop her because no, i'm talking about for me, right now, the person standing in your studio who is being charged...[insert eye roll].

I rode my first century ride (103 miles) over the weekend and I wouldn't have been able to do this without Pilates as a key part of my weekly training program. Thanks Katie!

My old studio became a second home and Brooke, Katie, Cindy and Kendall become like family. So here I was in the wilds of Mt. Pleasant looking for a new family. I contacted about four studios mentioning my relocation, etc. and never could reach anybody or get a return call - so Mt. Pleasant Pilates was a winner by default admittedly. But when I met Kate and Charlotte and I knew that they were great instructors (and had great personalities). So far so good, I'm excited to get to know the group.
