She packed in a lot in 45 minutes. It was challenging, but fun. I'm already sore, it was that good of a workout. I met Emily who is one of the owners. She introduced herself and was very nice. She even participated in the class. The studio is located in a small shopping center in Hamilton. They are all the way in the back. There's a sign on the fence in the parking lot which made it easier for me to find. I can't wait to sign up for another class!

He's honestly one of the best instructors I've ever had. It's also nice that the classes are included with the membership. The basketball court is awesome, and I really like how open and spacious the gym feels. The equipment is newer and updated, and they do a solid job keeping everything clean and well maintained. What stands out the most though is the community. The members are friendly, the staff are great, and it just feels like a welcoming place to work out. The only downsides are the hours. They're not open 24/7, they don't open very early, and there aren't multiple locations, which can be tough since I travel a little bit. Still, for me the positives easily outweigh the negatives.

You do have to wear Pilates socks, so make sure to bring a pair. Parking is easy, but I recommend getting there a little earlier since it's located near Trader Joe's and other businesses, so the area can get a bit busy. The staff were all very kind and welcoming, and the studio itself was super clean and well maintained. What I really enjoyed about this class is that while you definitely feel the burn and get sore (in the best way!), the instructor made sure we stretched multiple times throughout -- at least three different stretch moments during class. That balance of strengthening and stretching made such a difference. I'll definitely be coming back!

I am OBSESSED with Pure Barre San Rafael. I had done a class here years ago and didn't love it, but…read morefast forward two different owners and it is a whole different place. The minute you walk in, you are greeted and everyone is SO friendly. PB San Rafael is my new community. Lots of class offerings so it's easy to find a time that fits with my work schedule. Super clean location, the space is welcoming and just makes my day better when I walk in. The instructors are also top notch! I can't stop raving about PB San Rafael. I started with the 8 classes per month and ended up switching to the unlimited membership before my first month was over, and that was one of my best decisions. Stop in and check out a class, you won't regret it!

I cannot say enough good things about the remarkable coaches. They know their stuff and deliver it with cheer and focus. They exude warmth, consistently expressing emotional goodness. I am regularly astounded by how they gently touch and realign me and others during sessions that end with a reverential feeling. I go at least twice each week. Thank you!

Karen & her amazing team of instructors are so fantastic! When my little one was a baby I was just…read moreproud of myself for getting out of the house, I wore him & nursed him, and went to class just to move my body and beat my PPD. As my babies turned to toddlers the class was such fun for them: silly songs, lots of giggles, and really sweet friendships among the kiddos! And once I was back into my racing the class was such a great foundation for my strength: I PR'd my last 10K when I was going to class regularly! Basically the class can be whatever you need & want in your life for all the crazy stages of parenting. It's super kid friendly, but also you don't need to bring your kid. And sometimes there's even more chatting than working out if that's what you need - at least that's what I needed some days ;)

I started doing Fit4Mom classes almost a year ago, when my children were 4 & 6. I have never been…read moreone to participate in group exercise classes. I always equate them with 1980's type Jane Fonda/Jamie Lee Curtis type aerobics classes. I also am someone who tends to be both shy and uncoordinated, so group exercise was just not a good fit for my personality, or so I thought. Although I had been an avid exerciser before children, after having kids I felt like my life wasn't my own and I was having a lot of trouble making space for myself in my life. I decided to try a free class because, why not, it was free. I was pretty much hooked after that class and signed up for the 8 week session. I knew that if I signed up and paid in advanced, that I would make it a priority to show up for myself. After that 8 week session, I did another 8 week session, then another one then another one and now I'm doing my 5th or 6th session. I don't think that I'll ever stop doing these classes! I'll do them as long as they offer them. There are so many great benefits: 1. You get to exercise with a fabulous group of smart, funny and kind Moms. 2. If for some reason it winds up that you have no childcare, don't worry about it, just bring your kiddos with you. Because we're all Moms we all get it, it's not like if you were to bring your kid to a Barry's Bootcamp or something. 3. The workouts are super challenging, but still fun. I was a competitive swimmer in high school and ran marathons and half marathons in my 20's, but NOW- despite the fact that I've had two children, I feel stronger than I ever have. 4. This is not about getting smaller or counting calories or losing weight, it's about carving out space for yourself, moving your body, challenging yourself and getting stronger so that you actually do feel more present in your life as a Mom and partner and in your work. 5. Lastly, there is a great component of community. We do Moms' night outs, talk on Facebook & Whatsapp group all week long, and we support each other in our personal goals. And personal goals don't have to be fitness goals. For instance, my most recent goal was to be more social, which, as an introvert was difficult for me to say, but everyone was so supportive and kind! This group is about holistic wellness, not just green smoothies, kale and HIIT training (although there is all that too!) but it's more focused on being a Mom and carving out a space for yourself to return to who you are, who you were before kiddos, and who you want to continue being. It's really difficult to lose your identity after you have kids and just get sucked up into Mommy world. F4M can help you to come back to you! I highly recommend checking it out.

Luma Fitness Review The owner of Luma fitness Connor…read moreWaggoner scammed me out of over $1000 dollars I signed up for a year membership in March 2023 . In November 2024 I called and asked him to cancel my membership due to health issues. He said that he couldn't help me and kept charging me every month until it's expiration in March 2024. Sadly, he gave me no choice but to ride out the term of the membership even though I was unable to attend the gym! In March 2024 conner told me the membership would expire on its own. I trusted him! Connor did not cancel my membership as he said he would! Instead, the membership went up $50, without my permission or my knowledge! Six months went by when I discovered that he had been charging me without my permission. Even after I told him that I was diagnosed with cancer, he did not care and refused to reimburse any of the money taken out of my account since March 2024!! After being diagnosed with cancer, Connor Waggoner kept charging me. I went to the gym, pleading with him in person. He told me that he would NOT refund any money or even partially reimburse me. He admitted that he remembers the conversation we had last November and remembers me wanting to cancel. Do not join Luma Fitness and beware of the owner Connor Waggoner ! This man is dishonest, greedy and has no problem taking money from a single mom with cancer !

She somehow made movement feel manageable--even enjoyable--for someone like me who's usually dragging their feet just thinking about a workout. Becca is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but she also has this rare ability to meet you exactly where you're at, without judgment or pressure. My first session felt tailored, thoughtful, and empowering. I never thought I'd be someone who actually looks forward to showing up, but here we are. If you're intimidated by Pilates or just haven't found the right person to guide you yet, Becca is the one. 10/10 recommend.
