Traci is an excellent instructor who emphasizes correct form and engaging your core. She gives a lot of personal attention and pushes you just enough to get a good workout without leaving you totally unable to move the next day. :). This is the only exercise class that I have found that I actually enjoy. She encourages me to push past my natural laziness and the hour flies by, but the next day I can definitely feel that I've done something! The atmosphere is relaxed and the women in the classes are all ages, sizes and fitness levels. I highly recommend Hourglass Pilates.

I have had individual sessions with their newest teacher, Sofia, and have been to two group classes now with Jacqueline. I DEEPLY appreciate that the group classes are small enough that each student receives individual attention. I have had scoliosis all my life and I rely on Pilates to help unravel and realign my spine and improve my overall posture, which takes a thoughtful instructor who incorporates stretching and addresses alignment and fine movements. It's SO difficult to find group Pilates classes that feel thoughtful as well as give a great workout, and I'm overjoyed to have encountered the Pilates Place to continue my practice while I'm away from my home studio in Gramercy. This studio also has the Konnector system (four straps!) on their reformers; I've never used it before and it adds a new element of balance and body awareness to the practice that I've never experienced! I'm already excited for my next class.

I should tell you all I'm over weight, and have health issues including a bad ankle and knee, and I really don't like to exercise. Why am I giving this rating. Several reasons. 1. I love that Autumn comes to my house so I don't have to do this in public. 2. She works with my disability, i feel like I'm getting physical therapy in addition to a good physical workout. And 3, she pushes me, since i don't like to exercise, it is easy to not push myself, Autumn, has learned me and knows I need to be pushed past my comfort zone. I'm looking forward to really getting stronger and healthier, and Autumn will have a big piece of why this will happen. Thanks Autumn.

I highly recommend Autumn and invite you to come along on your own fitness journey. My current fitness journey started in March of 2022. I decided I wanted to go into my 60's (just around the corner in 2023) being the "best me" that I could be so I started taking a Pilates class at my HOA. Autumn was the Pilates instructor and from the beginning, I really liked her approach to fitness. I've always felt that fitness includes mind, body and soul and that's what Autumn was saying as well. When I found out that Autumn was a certified personal trainer and she had received permission from the HOA to train homeowners in the HOA fitness center, I was all in! I started as a client with Autumn in September 2022. Autumn pays particular attention to your form which I really appreciate. She is very knowledgeable and patient as I'm sure I've asked the same questions over and over. Looking back over my journey, I see that Autumn started me off with some basic "building blocks" that have evolved over time. The starting exercises that I thought were so difficult have become easier. I feel better in body, stronger and moving better. I have found that regular exercise is also a great stress reliever. Autumn has been fun to work with, there is a lot of work but also a lot of laughter. I enjoy my weekly hour with Autumn. Since Autumn is "mobile" and not tied to a particular gym, Autumn travels out to meet with my Mom who is 85 years old. My Mom has limited mobility and with Autumn's help, is getting stronger. I really appreciate Autumn and can't say enough good things about her. This has been an awesome journey, one that I will stick with and continue to achieve things I didn't think was possible. Thank you Autumn!!!

Actually it's 1 star. I tried to give it 1 star but this review was buried and not fair to the…read moreconsumer. I was a loyal member of Sweat Studio when it was located in Nevada City and continued to support the business after it moved to Grass Valley, even referring others and maintaining my membership through COVID. The expanded space allowed for more classes and room to participate. However, over time I became uncomfortable with certain aspects of how the studio was operated. Classes are consistently heated to around 105-108 degrees, and members are strongly discouraged from leaving the room if they feel overheated or unwell. While I understand the purpose of heated classes, I believe participants should be able to take breaks for their own health and safety without judgment. Additionally, the studio environment increasingly reflected the political views of the owner. Posters and messaging expressing political opinions were displayed in the space, which I found distracting in what I expected to be a neutral setting focused on wellness. I also experienced challenges with how concerns were handled. For example, I reported issues with another male member's behavior over an extended period and did not feel supported or reassured that the matter was being addressed. People also are allowed to park in the handicapped parking spot when able bodied. At times, I also sensed inconsistent treatment among clients, which impacted the overall atmosphere. While there are aspects of Sweat Studio that many people may enjoy, my personal experience ultimately led me to look for a fitness environment where I feel more comfortable, supported, and safe.

Since the start of the pandemic I lost some of my healthy routines and gained weight. I have always been a runner and a yogi, but it has been difficult to lose this pandemic weight just through running, and unlike the Bay Area, in the summer it's too hot to run up here! I also have a strong aversion to lifting weights, I would have never considered it "fun". In the short 3 months I have been here, Sweat Studio has completely changed by life and my body. Shelly, the owner is a fantastic teacher, highly motivating, and so kind and welcoming to beginners like me. For the first time in my life, I enjoy working out and feel motivated to push myself past my physical comfort zone. I strongly recommend that you check out the variety of classes they have here- hot yoga, dance, pilates, sculpt, circuit training, and cycling. There are also a variety of teachers and styles- so if you are looking for someone to kick your butt as you sweat to Cardi B or let your stress go in child's pose, I promise there is a teacher for you. Thank you to all the Staff at Sweat Studio, I feel so grateful to have found you! Also, just FYI the studio is sparkling clean:)

I love Pilates Heartcore…read more I've been to five classes so far - two private, one virtual, and two group - and have been led by five different instructors. Each class was wonderful, as was each instructor. I'm new to Pilates - before Heartcore I had only gone to/done two studio classes fifteen years ago + a few YouTube (mat) Pilates videos over the years - so I was very nervous starting out. Each instructor made me feel welcome and very supported. In addition, when I first started taking classes, I spoke with Katie, the owner of the studio, over email many times (to schedule classes), and she was so helpful and very quick to respond. The studio itself is spacious and very clean (including the bathrooms). Also, Heartcore has no "surprises" - something I very much appreciate; all policies are posted on their website, so everything that prospective + current students need to know is there. People may need to set reminders for themselves about things - an upcoming class they registered for, the need to bring grippy socks to class (which they do sell in the studio), when to cancel your registration to a class if you won't be able to make it, etc. - but that is to be expected at almost every establishment/business. I've been a member here for just about a month, and I don't foresee myself ending my membership anytime soon (barring a faraway move or something). I look forward to each class, and I'm so excited to keep going. I love this studio!
