I love this barre studio! All the instructors I've tried so far (Katie Gaddini, Ren Vardi, and…read moreanother name I can't recall) are excellent--they're attentive to individual class goers and try to help each person with form or offer modifications--to make an exercise either more challenging or more accessible. The studio is clean and well-kept, yoga mats are disinfected after every use. The floors are a finished cork material that are a little easier on the joints. The front desk staff are always kind and courteous. I always feel genuinely welcome whenever I come in, which is a huge reason why I keep returning. The parking situation is free street parking on Old County Rd. Usually there's at least a spot available, but give yourself a few minutes before class in case you need to maneuver into a spot on the opposite side of the road. One unique aspect of this studio is the play lounge. For a nominal fee and advanced reservation, a childcare provider can look after your child(ren) during your class, with plenty of toys and activity materials provided. So far I have not needed to use this perk, so I can't speak to experiences there, but it's still something special I have not seen at other fitness studios. Another thing to note is that a few of the classes are livestreamed, so if recording bothers you, just check the class at the time of booking. Most of the studio goers are women in their 20s-40s. I have seen several mature attendees and Katie was great about checking on them during more challenging poses in the mindful flow classes. Everyone wears fitness attire ranging from sports bras, tank tops, t-shirts, leggings, shorts etc. During the barre classes, many go barefoot, some choose to wear grippy socks. I love the judgment-free environment here. We are all at different stages of our fitness journey, and everyone is welcome in this studio.

I was in SF for a work trip and wanted to get a good workout in with a friend. They luckily are on…read moreclass pass so it was really easy to sign up and get situated. I tried the b3 Strength 45 with Sylvia. She was a great instructor, very clear instructions, and also just very strong haha. The Strength class at first seemed intermediate but the repetition and going up on weights definitely brought out a good sweat! I was sore for the next couple of days. This specific class was focused on arms and back but always in some sort of lunge so you were working on everything. Would definitely come back!

I really needed to start working out again and bought a Groupon late 2022 and it actually ended up…read moresitting for a while, til close to the expiration date. I finally started and wasn't sure if I would stick to it since I favor high intensity workouts. I am now 1.5 months in, have joined the monthly membership and building this routine and consistency into my life. I love the breathing that takes place and it's been a really nice form of de-stressing (full time working mom of 2 kids). I've taken classes from different instructors and what I love is that each class is taught a little differently; they have their own routines. I have not felt like I've taken the same class twice. They really help you with adjustments and while I felt like I kept getting corrected, they're really intentional about helping you improve on your form and most importantly, being safe with your body. All the instructors and front desk receptionists are friendly. I'm really enjoying this new community. If you're looking to get back into being active, get curious and take a class!

(This review is only for the V3 location)…read more I can't believe I haven't written a review yet! I've been a member for over a year and had switched over from a different pilates studio. I was impressed with the reformer machines and everything was always so clean. What sold me was the 60 class deal. It was much more affordable than what I was paying at the other studio. I love having the flexibility to sign up for classes when I have time. I was even able to bring my hubby with me to class (text to arrange an extra booking) Bookings done on the MINDBODY app. I believe new classes get posted every 2 weeks. If a class is full, join the waitlist! There's a high chance you'll eventually get in! My favorite instructor is Kimi- she's clear with instructions, gently corrects our posture when we're a little off and challenges us. She also offers modifications depending on our comfort level. If you like extra spicy classes, definitely book Kylie's classes!! Vennu is more than just another pilates studio- they host fun events and the community is really welcoming. Follow them on Instagram for latest updates and special events!

The owner told me they have a promotion deal where there is no expirations and it's a 1 time…read morepayment of $595. I decide to purchased the deal because I enjoy the class. Everything went well until they charge me again 4 months later. I texted the owner about it, no replied. I called them back to back. It took them awhile to answer my call. I was told they will refund my money back to my credit card. I've been waiting for couple days to see the return. Still no refund or pending refund. I had to call my credit card to dispute the charge. There was a comment from a past customer saying if you get on the owner bad side she will terminated your account. She was right. All my remaining 35 + passes that I haven't use yet are no longer on my account. I have to take a loss. I feel like it a waste of time reaching out about it. What's the point when she will remove my passes again. The promotion deal i brought No expiration FAMILY Sharable Combo 60 classes VENNU 1-2-3 $$595 Reg price is $710 Since you paid a portion we would just apply the difference.

Barry's Burlingame was one of the worst first-time gym experiences I've had. (And that's saying…read moresomething since I recently tried 7 gyms in the Burlingame/ San Mateo / Millbrea areas). I showed up 5 minutes early and instead of focusing on onboarding or safety, the staff prioritized forcing me to create a marketing account and hand over my email before class. Nobody asked about **my knee pain** or offered workout modifications like Basecamp or Burlingame Fitness did. I was thrown into a dark room mid-class with no idea where my station was, what weights to use, or even how to start(!) the treadmill, while the oversized class made it impossible for the instructor to notice I was struggling. I had to stop multiple times just to change weights and restart. Change and restart. In the end, I lost the class credit and time. The whole experience felt like corporate lead-generation and profit mattered far more at Barry's than the safety and success of new members.

I've been incredibly happy to join the Basecamp community. Their 30 days for $60 deal is what got…read moreme in the door, but after those 30 days, I wasn't ready to quit! The workouts are varied and challenging. Each day of the week is dedicated to a different part of the body (legs, upper body, core, etc.). The coaches are motivating and great at both correcting form and offering variations for moves that may be difficult for people with knee or other issues. Shout out to Coach Euni! Her classes are always the most intense and leave me feeling spent in the best possible way! The front desk staff are incredibly friendly and make an effort to learn your name so they can greet everyone personally. Great gym! Highly recommend!!

I really wanted to like Pilates V -- the classes themselves were decent, and the instructors I met…read morewere kind. But unfortunately, the experience with their policy and customer support has been frustrating enough that I'm seriously reconsidering coming back. I've been dealing with a prolonged illness, and per their own policy, clients with symptoms are not allowed to attend class (which I fully respect). But when I reached out to explain my situation, I was only given a two-week extension -- no flexibility, no empathy, just a firm deadline. When I tried to use the remaining classes before expiration, I did not show up due to a worsening cough at the day of class-- again, trying to be responsible and follow their rules. I then received a late cancel/no show warning email, which said I'd normally be charged an extra $15 fee on top of the class I already paid for, just for being too sick to attend. Although the fee was waived this time, the tone of the message and the overall approach felt more like a punishment system than a client-centered one. The policy is confusing, rigid, and completely lacking in support for people dealing with health issues. It left me feeling discouraged and unwelcome -- not something I expect from a wellness studio.

Was excited to try Pilates again so I was excited to find a Groupon of Pilates V. I've done Pilates…read morein San Diego before so I was excited to do it again. They don't have a reception area so I was a little lost walking in but I just followed what everyone else was doing. The workout itself was fine. Compared to the classes I took in the past I didn't find the instructor to be helpful. When I got home I got an email about my bill from Pilates V which was a charge for grip socks which I did not purchase. I ended up reaching out to management for a refund. There was a couple back and forth with the emails where I had to reach out for updates. It did become a bit frustrating because I didn't talk to the instructor at all but was told that the instructor said it was me that purchased. In the end I received my refund which I was thankful for however I feel like this could have been solved in a more efficient way. I ended up not using the rest of the Groupon classes but it's a loss I would rather take than take more classes.

I just decided it wasn't for me after the 3rd class since I didn't know what I was doing half of the time. The problem? They kept charging my card, despite me removing the auto pay option, emailing multiple times. I even had to change my card, yet this month they charged me again!!! I had no choice but go to the location 1st time they were in class so I couldn't even talk to anyone so I left. I proceeded to email again NOTHING! I been looking for a phone number, nothing! Well currently I'm outside the salon for the last 30 minutes because I came while class was in session, I respectfully asked what time it was over they told me 10:30... was here at 10:30 on the dot... yeah class still in session and I been here for the last 30 minutes. Its incredible how poor their customer service or communication skills are

I absolutely LOVE J8. I originally came for the workout, but it has honestly become so much more…read morethan that for me. I've lost a significant amount of weight since starting Pilates here (which was not even the reason for this initially), and I feel so much stronger and better physically. But what I didn't expect was how much J8 would help me mentally too. While I've been going through an extremely rigorous program and studying nonstop, there have been so many days when I've walked into class stressed, exhausted, and mentally drained -- and somehow I always walk out feeling better. For that hour, I get to shut everything else off, focus on myself, work hard, sweat, and completely reset. It has truly been my mental escape. And then there is SAM. She is seriously something else. She is so kind, incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and motivating. Her intensity is AMAZING, and having her actually work out right there with us makes you want to push yourself even harder. She doesn't just tell you what to do -- she is right there doing it and absolutely killing it alongside you. We were laughing in class today about what would happen if we tried to follow Sam through an entire day of all her classes. Would we even make it to the end?! I'm pretty sure the answer is no. Sam is basically a Pilates goddess. J8 has helped change my body, but it has also been such an important part of getting me through one of the busiest and most demanding periods of my life. I'm so grateful for this place, the workouts, the energy, and especially Sam. I also have to add, that this place is super clean, smells good and that is a big thing for me. And the atmosphere is the best. You feel like part of family when you're a J8 (I've been coming since June). If you're thinking about trying J8 -- DO IT. Just be prepared to work!

Hands down the best studio I've ever tried due to staff, community and environment…read more J8 has been the most consistent part of me and my husband's routine. I look forward to this, daily, especially because it improved my health both physically and mentally !! Staff is amazing, each instructor creates an open regardless of the level you're in. I have been finding a community here at J8 and everyone is super encouraging & friendly. Whether it's to start my day out or end my day, I look forward to coming to J8. I suggest you try all the different style of classes that they offer, they're all amazing.
