I have been attending Club Pilates in Charlottesville for 2 years …read more I'm giving this review as a client and a licensed physical therapist. This studio is highly professional, inspiring and fun! I cannot say enough superlatives about the manager Juanita Franke ! She is extremely professional, engaging , kind and generous . Her mastery in anatomy , physiology and exercise science is exemplary! I love attending her classes ! She explains the exercises so well and clearly , as well as the benefits and physiology of w he at she is doing . As a client and a PT every session with her is a party for me . The majority of the instructors at this studio are also highly professional , knowledgeable, motivational and engaging . Some newer instructors require more supervision and training in my opinion but as I said the vast majority of them are extremely qualified and well versed in exercise science and quite creative in their approach . Especially notable in addition to Juanita , are Chloe, Sofia and Wendy . Pilates is a great way to keep in shape in a very fun way . I hope I can continue this wonderful exercise modality forever and I highly recommend this studio in Charlottesville under the masterful management of Juanita Franke .

Her teachers really understand biomechanics and how to work with a range of clients. This is so much more than just a pilates studio, it's a movement experience. After you have your postural analysis, I guarantee you'll feel like you're having a completely different conversation with your own body. I practice yoga daily in addition to strength training, plyometrics, and other forms of exercise. I thought I felt good until I got done with my analysis. My mind is blown to realize how my habitual movement patterns have caused pockets of tension in my body (that I didn't even recognize were there!!). The private sessions are worth every penny. Literally, EVERYONE could benefit from a visit to Posture. Old, young, fit, well, ill....trust me, just GO.

Also he insisted that due to late timing for my cancelation I will be charged any how, so I should have to take the class. I went and lasted for about 25 min. The instructor had no clue of my back problem although Bryan said the instructor will work based on the knowledge I had provided to him over the phone when he insisted me to attend the class.I ask her if she was aware of my back injury and she could not respond anything, she seem confused and did not any thing about my condition. I asked her if she knew how to work with the pain in my lower back and she said there was nothing to prevent the pain. So I left. Seems to me as it is was more important to take my money from clients than to act more responsible and ethical way. Business is not just about money but integrity.

I've only been going for a few weeks so I am still learning to properly do the exercises, but the teachers are patient and have happily answered all my dumb questions after class. And even though my technique is pretty bad still, my entire body still gets an intense workout . I'm a regular runner, but I didn't even know I had muscles in some of the places that start to burn! Plus the music and constantly changing exercises make it fun. (The short warmup and arm work always follows the same routine, but the legs, seat, and abs exercises change up every class I've been to.) One thing newbies might want to be aware of is that most of the 5:30pm classes and weekend classes I've been to have been somewhat crowded. If you want more individualized attention I'd recommend either the 6:35pm class or the morning/afternoon sessions during weekdays. Despite being on a tight budget I try to go twice a week - think it's worth it to look and feel better.

The space was very lovely, spacious and convenient parking wise. All the teachers and students were friendly. During classes I appreciated each teacher as they all have their own personality and provided a safe place to really re-ground.

Thank you Caroline, Kira, Megan and Stephanie for providing such great space and flow!

As a beginner yogi, I am always wanting feedback on my form, and I appreciated that the instructors would stay after and answer any questions I had and also give me additional feedback. However, my latest experience after the 30 day trial wasn't the best, and I don't think I'll be returning. I attended my first aerial level 2 class, and I felt like a burden the entire time. It appeared that everyone was already well bonded--which was fine, but there wasn't much explanation behind any of the poses, and it was expected that I know poses that were completely foreign coming from level one. This was really discouraging, and I know I have a lot of room for growth in my practice, but I'd rather do it in a space where I feel comfortable with where I am in my practice.

We've visited two of acac's C-ville locations (Downtown & Albemarle Square) and they're both great…read more The facilities are immaculate. Machines and free-weights are clean and in good repair and I haven't seen them super crowded. The locker rooms are large and well-kept. Every staff member we've interacted with has been friendly, up-beat, and helpful. The Downtown location advertises a rooftop pool. While it does exist (and is nice), it's very small - basically the width of one lap-lane. Almost like a large plunge pool. Downtown also has a parking garage with free access for members which is excellent. Some other reviewers have accused acac of being too expensive, but we were actually pretty satisfied with the price. Given the amenities and multiple locations, we feel that the membership fee is plenty reasonable. If I had to call something out for being a bit overpriced, it'd be the smoothies at the gym cafes - they're good, but after Virginia sales tax and C-ville meal tax, you're looking at 10-11 bucks a pop. At that price point, I'll be bringing my own shakes for post-workout!

The women's locker room is disgusting, it smells and there is hair all over the floor and on the shower walls and floor. The hot tub is dirty too. The locker room is way over due for an overhaul. The lockers are dirty and don't get cleaned out ever. It doesn't make sense to have kids in the women's locker room either. Have a family area for changing clothes. Also, the pool is always overrun by kids and it's loud. Terrible gym don't waste your time or money.
