While there are some fantastic instructors here (Tina, Christine) I would highly advise finding…read moresomewhere else to do reformer Pilates. The membership policies are antiquated and very inflexible. I often would be in class and could hear the staff on calls or speaking in the front reception or in the back room. Waitlists for the best instructors do not clear despite what you are told before you join. As others have said, I too was inexplicably bumped from my last class credit and then told because I had cancelled membership (i'm currently not working so needed to take a break) that they will not reinstate the credit. Do not join.

Some of the instructors are great but they clearly don't have enough classes for the amount of…read moremembers that they have taken. Preference is given to unlimited members who sign up for all classes and drop out whenever leaving the monthly members on the wait list or unused classes at the end of month. The management is horrible and has zero respect for members. I would recommend joining another pilate place. There are plenty in this area that treat their members with much more respect and flexibility. The only reason I gave one star is that some the instructors are great!

After years of loyal patronage the Northvale NJ club decided to change the majority of level 2…read moreclasses to 2.5 and turn away some members from those time slots. When I wrote to the manager asking if more level 2 classes were coming she ignored my initial email, then responded to my follow up after several days with an invitation TO CANCEL my membership after almost 5 years. I was horrified. This place has had great instructors through the years but the management is awful and the owner is out to lunch. Very sad to see.

There's always a reason why people leave bad reviews. I saw some negative reviews about the owner,…read moreand I had a similar experience. One time, I forgot to sign in for a class, even though I definitely attended. I sent a very polite message explaining that I had forgotten to sign in but asked if they could srefund no show fee since I was there. The response I got was incredibly nasty, as if I had done something terribly wrong. They said this would be the last time. ?!? Also, when I ended my membership, I clearly said I wanted to cancel, but they dragged it out, and I ended up being charged longer than I should have. The classes and instructors are fine, but it's true that the owner seems a bit mean-spirited. I hope this review helps to new people. there are more friendly places near here:-) These people are really unpleasant to deal with.

I most recently tried the organic spray tan and I'm obsessed!!! I have red hair with white as snow skin. So I've always feared spray tans, I thought I would turn orange. This is most definitely NOT the case with the product they use!!! I think it took 15 mins to get a glow that I've never seen on my body before. Wedding, vacation, or special occasion coming up?? Go get your glow on beforehand! I promise you'll enjoy the results.
