I've been going to Alota Pilates on and off for quite a few years. Starting at their old location…read morein one small room, I attended a variety of mat classes taught by Caryn and really enjoyed them. I have some body issues stemming from injury and flat feet (thanks dad) and caryn not only was respectful of them but also showed me how to modify certain stretches and sequences so as not to hurt myself or cause discomfort and also get the maximum stretch and strengthening. This morning I went to my first mat class (we had a private "family" class with my mom, me, our friend and her daughter) in probably 3 years and it was wonderful. Their new (well, new to me!) space is light, airy and just beautiful. Caryn is a fantastic teacher and is extremely attentive to all in her classes. I will admit, Pilates can be a bit expensive but the effect it has on your body...and really your mind, can be well worth the expense.

I have felt welcome at this small (and very beautiful) studio since the moment I walked in. I receive more personalized attention since the classes are much smaller. This is soooo important for proper form and getting the full benefit of the movement while avoiding injury. The quality of the teachers is very high here versus at the chain. Also - the package prices are more reasonable - at least coming from the DFW, TX market. Give Heidi and her team a try, you won't regret it!

Everyone was super nice and welcoming and I got a complimentary bag of bath salts my first time going! It was a pretty typical barre workout, we warmed up with some movement before using resistance bands, small yoga balls, light hand weights, and sliders. We ended with a cooldown stretch and breathing. It was a great holistic full body workout that is definitely suited for all levels. I was dripping sweat throughout LOL I usually go to solidcore since I have a membership but since injuring my shoulder, I have been taking a break and trying to find new places that are lower impact on my shoulder. I was able to make lots of modifications while still getting a good burn in. I definitely recommend this barre workout for people looking to be active with a slight challenge.

Club Pilates charges $15 if you don't cancel your reservation within 12 hrs of class start…read more However, they can add you from the wait list 2 hrs before class starts, and if you can't make it with only 2 hours notice, you get a $15 charge. This is problematic if you are signed up for a 6:15 am class, check at bedtime, and are still on the waitlist. You must set an alarm for 4:15 am to recheck the waitlist because they charge you $15 if you are dropped in at the last minute. How can you be expected to wake up at 4 am to check the waitlist? This is a poor business practice and seems like double-dipping.

I'm usually weary when it comes to places through groupon,…read morebut, Bodiology is definitely a place I would recommend for anyone that wants to start getting into pilates. I've taken several classes in the past, but never had an instructor like Kathy who really starts at the fundamentals. She guides you through every movement and makes you feel very comfortable if you do something incorrectly. She will make sure you do things properly before moving to the next thing. I appreciated it very much. Her studio is very clean and welcoming with all the pilates equipment you would want to work with. Her covid precautions are up above and beyond expectations-I felt very safe. I highly recommend booking with Cathy at Bodiology!

Because of Catherine's attention to my body, she has given me the information and exercises helping me to pay closer attention to my own body.

She demands attention when she is conducting sessions and whether she is working with one student or multiple students, she is watching, observing, correcting, and I feel very safe with her.

The process of receiving instruction was a little odd as a younger kid was giving us rules then a seemingly drunk older man in a truck kept talking over him who I assume is the owner? Kind of a weird dynamic going on here. The process of taking off and riding was good no issues there.
