I was literally the first person to review Club Pilates UTC on Yelp over 3 years ago, and I gave…read morethem 5 stars. That's what makes writing this now even more disappointing. As of the end of this month, I will no longer be a member, and here's why. First, hygiene is a serious issue. The studio is consistently unclean and only gets properly addressed after repeated complaints. There are ant and roach traps in multiple corners, which speaks for itself. Over the years, I've raised concerns--politely and alongside other members--and only then does anything get cleaned. It shouldn't take persistent complaints to maintain basic standards. Look up at the vents and you'll see heavy dust buildup on the AC filters. This has been brought to management's attention for months, yet nothing changes. Meanwhile, the floors often have visible hair and dust, and mirrors are covered in fingerprints. When they do clean, they use overpowering, chemical-heavy products, which feels counterproductive in a space meant for health and wellness. Instructor quality has also declined significantly. Several excellent instructors have left, and the replacements have been inconsistent at best. In one class, I was introduced to a move that felt unsafe. When I asked about it afterward, the instructor said she found it on TikTok. That alone was alarming. There have also been repeated instances of instructors teaching while visibly sick. I've personally had to leave class multiple times to avoid getting ill. Only after strong complaints did this change--and now it's replaced with last-minute cancellations. On one occasion, I was already in the parking lot when I received a cancellation call. No credit was offered, despite the inconvenience. The turnover rate of instructors over the past year has been extremely high, and it shows in the declining quality of classes. Cancellations are often announced at the last minute, sometimes right at the scheduled start time, with no clear accountability or compensation. The final issue that pushed me to cancel was being charged a $15 no-show fee--despite never having missed a class. When I reached out, I initially received no response. After multiple attempts, I was connected with someone identified as a VP, who claimed I had been refunded 5-6 times in the past six months. When I asked for specifics, only three dates were provided over my 3 years as a member, and the rest were never clarified. That lack of transparency was unacceptable. I ultimately contacted my credit card company to dispute the charge. After I explained the situation, they were surprised at how it had been handled and agreed the charge was erroneous. The fee was refunded, and they indicated they would follow up with Club Pilates directly. If a business is willing to lose a long-term customer over a $15 charge--and handle it this poorly--that says a lot. It's a shame it came to this. At this point, it's clear that member experience is not a priority. Between the cleanliness issues, inconsistent instruction, poor communication, and questionable billing practices, I can no longer justify staying. There are many well-run studios out there. If you're considering this one, I recommend taking a close look at the environment, the instructors, and how concerns are handled before committing.

This particular Club Studio can't decide if it wants to be a day spa or a gym. I was told by a…read moremanager at the front desk that there's no etiquette or rules as to the length of showers the members may choose to take. People can go into the shower and shower for 30 minutes or more and use 8 bottles of spa treatments and leave people standing in line for 15 minutes or more who just wanted to be able to take a quick shower after a workout or being in the pool. Too bad for you! What a joke. This has happened to me numerous times. And the hair washing queens didn't come from the pool, because I swim in the pool. It's just from regular classes. I belong to another Club Studio in a different city, and I've never seen this problem. And I can't even see anything so alluring about the showers at this gym that you'd even want to stay in there for over 30 minutes. In the bathroom, though, Club Studio has "water-saving" motion detected faucets. Serious! If this gives you any idea of what the clientele is like that goes to this place and it doesn't sound like fun having to deal with in the locker room and showers, don't go here. Some good things I can say about this Irvine Club Studio is they do have a clean pool to use, and one of the managers, Julia, was really helpful with dealing with a problem that came up. The trouble with this place is they're just usually too busy trying to cater to the over-entitled instead of doing a good job of running a gym.

This studio is super cute and very festive, with Valentines Day décor at the time of my first visit. When I arrived, the owner checked me in. For any first-timers, arrive 10-15 minutes early to sign a waiver and settle into the studio. They have lockers for your belongings, and there is a strict no cell phones policy in the studio area. Bring grip socks, or you can buy new ones here. This is standard for safety reasons with all reformer pilates classes. The work out space is well equipped. There are 12 reformer pilates station, set up with all the best of the balanced body equipment, very similar to a Club Pilates set up. Oh I will say I noticed this studio had a lot of the pregnancy wedges for pregnant students, where as other studios tend to only have one or two. I found out that they actually have prenatal and postnatal classes here. Not that I need it, but I'm just sharing in case someone else does. So back to the class. Rowena is so fun. She is so engaging. She was asking the students how we were feeling, if there were injuries, if there were any areas we wanted to focus on. Based on our feedback, she designed the class accordingly. This takes a lot of experience to do that on the spot. I loved the class pace and the music. Such a great work out! I would definitely come back whenever my schedule allows me to visit this studio. Especially when I see Rowena on the schedule.

Some of the movements didn't really focus on the core as much and the instructor let us "do whatever we want" for a few songs. I didn't feel the burn I usually do when doing the core exercises. Maybe I will try a more challenging class next time.
