Updated Review - 6 Months In & Grateful!…read more I've been doing Pilates consistently for about six months now, and I can honestly say it's been life-changing. I originally left a more critical review because of some early frustrations around scheduling when I was on a different plan, but I want to acknowledge how much that shifted once I moved to the unlimited plan. It became so much easier to get into classes, and that accessibility has made all the difference in my consistency and progress. The Maple Valley location in particular has been incredible. Although, I havnt yet needed to explore other studios as I usually get into the classes I sign up for. The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your growth. I've seen real changes in my body, like better posture, core strength, and flexibility, and I've become so much more aware of how I move and carry myself throughout the day. It's not always easy to find a fitness routine that feels sustainable, but this has become something I genuinely look forward to. I know Pilates isn't for everyone, but I would recommend giving it a shot. If you're in Maple Valley, you're in especially good hands. If you have been wanting to try it I would highly recommend trying out this studio!! I would recommend so many of the instructors too but my favorites personally are Mandy, Heidi, Jelena, Pia, Sunny, Sandy, and Rachel! I also love all the girls at the front desk!! Megan is especially knowledgeable and always had the answers I need!! If Tracy the traveling TX instructor is ever there, it's a MUST to take one of her classes or doing one workshop I HIGHLY recommend taking one of her classes!! Feeling grateful and a little spoiled to have this studio as part of my weekly rhythm!

I chose the Kent location specifically because I saw a recent review from another woman of color, and I'm so glad I did. ​From day one, the representation here has been real. My intro instructor and the staff member who signed me up were POC, and I see that diversity is reflected in my fellow students in almost every class. ​Why I love this studio: ​The Vibe: I was so nervous about being "underdressed," but people here show up in Crocs, leggings, and oversized t-shirts. It's a true "come as you are" environment. ​The Community: A fantastic range of ages and backgrounds. I've never felt out of place. ​The Instructors: I started out super nervous, but every instructor has made me feel safe and supported. I'm now attending 3-4 times a week--the first time in my life I've actually looked forward to a workout. ​Yes, it's an investment but for the first time, I've found a fitness community where I truly feel seen.

They offer classes are geared for all levels, with right amount of challenge. The cues are easy to follow and visual guidance is also available when needed. Honestly, being cued correctly and being corrected when I'm out of alignment or in the wrong position have kept me from injury. Reformer Pilates has changed my life, I love it! I took a few private lessons with Amanda as my intro to pilates. She and the lessons were so amazing, I've been hooked ever since. When I'm in town, I come to the studio fairly consistently and my body has been transformed, completely snatched. I feel my workouts all over, every atrophied muscle has been awakened. Every instructor does something "special" in their class, please try them all, you will not be disappointed. I highly, highly recommend coming here.

I've only tried the mat classes so can't speak to their several other class types. There's always something new in the mat classes so never repetitive and target different strengths. Primarily only taken classes with Heather and really like her style! She's easy to follow and has a nice tone to her instruction. She's really flexible and nice about scheduling and using the package too. I've seen a few deals (Living Social & Groupon) around too so makes it more affordable to try out.

Hotworx was my favorite place to go for stress relief, detoxing, alone time after work and weekend peace. Now, I have to make myself go because I am paying for the membership and feel guilty if I don't go. It all has to do with the staff. I'm completely surprised by the way the owners have allowed this new manager to create social media with her tatas out every time she posts something. The content she puts out is just distasteful and her husband in every video- it's very off putting and not "on brand". It reflects poorly on the company. The other young man is social awkward and I don't feel comfortable with him. He doesn't know how to interact with people, he bombards new signees the minute they walk out of the sauna, right in the middle of the isle and immediately asks what membership they want? What a turn off! Yet, if he is close to his lunch hour or it's too soon to closing time and someone new wants to sign up, he tells them he's off and to come back tomorrow. I, personally, have never felt comfortable with him being there if I'm alone at the studio because of his awkward presence, lack of knowledge and social skills. I don't know how a business has gone through so many different employees in such a short period. Additionally, this new staff doesn't seem to have the work ethic to clean and maintain the same level of sanitation that the previous staff has always done. I've only seen them sit or stand at the front desk. I've had to clean broken toenails out of my sauna AND I had left my sweater in a cubby for a week and no one had noticed it!

These classes will assist you in that journey If you ever had a nightmare that Ed Gein or other friends like Jeffrey Dahmer might chase you down and make you into a suit. I assure you with their training that you will no longer need to fear that today if you sign up and take the classes consistently. I've been into self mutilation lately in the sense of heavily enjoying sweating out every demon I've ever acquired in my lifetime at their Mat Pilates class Don't let the name fool you it's absolutely the exorcism you've always needed and your mom always wanted you to have for your bad behavior as a child. Highly recommend it if you'd like to sweat out your demons. Every time I leave their class, I don't know if I'm supposed to look the instructor in the eye and think them or flip them the bird because they whooped me in the classroom I'm afraid to make eye contact with other people next to me, knowing that they are equally dying during most of these sessions There are times that I am questioning myself and why I signed up for this but when I look at myself in the mirror, I'm like oh she's snatched The only thing I have to add is don't ever be late because they will lock you out and you will look Hella silly sitting there in your workout equipment knocking on the door don't be late. Be 10 minutes early. And if you think you're gonna be late, just don't show up because you'll look like me big bird on the side of the road trying to get into her hot Pilates class I love when men sign up for these classes because it reminds me why I'm a woman I had the pleasure of witnessing 18 year-old boys sign up for one of these classes and I laid there and laughed for 20 minutes because they all cried So anyway, if you have a fear of serial killers in the state of Washington and would like to be fit, I highly recommend peoples Pilates. I also recommend them if you've acquired many demons in your lifetime and need to sweat them out and or beat them out because they will do that for you without charge.

How's your new year's resolution going? In mood to learn something new, or add something different…read moreto your workout? Are you looking to explore on improving your posture and form while strengthening your muscles? Well I think I have a perfect place for you. Quick background on my personal pilates experience before discovering People's Pilates (they're new in town, opened in Dec 2022!): I tried pilates few years back for about two months (Bellevue Pilates), I did not like it mostly because of the atmosphere- small group in a quiet space, which is expected of this exercise because its low impact and focuses on strengthening and stretching your muscles. Yeah it was boring for me and I never looked back. Pure Barre was more of faster pace with upbeat energy for me so I stuck with it for 2+ years and it was great! Fast forward to 2023, I've been going to Orangetheory Fitness for 6 years now which is more of quick paced and I love it, but I've been looking to add something low impact, a workout that can help me relax my muscles and tensions in my lower-back from repetitive high intensive workout. People's Pilates have highly knowledgeable instructors, they will not bore you to fall asleep on that reformer. They have a comprehensive routine that is various, and I recommend starting off with "Intro to Pilates" class a couple of times, it will help you to be familiar with different parts of the reformer and discover pilates the right way. They also offer classes like Glide&Flow; and Strengthen&Lengthen that focuses more on specific type of workout to improve your unused muscles and help you get in right form. One thing I took away from my initial classes is that your body is going to keep fall in a way that is comfortable with, and that's not always the correct form. People's Pilates instructor helps you to focus on your form first, so that your spine is aligned correctly and that has been a huge help in relieving some tensions I've had in my lower back and glutes. The atmosphere is inviting and friendly so even if you've never done pilates before, its not intimidating at all. They also incorporate different equipment into each workout, so no session is the same as the one before. They offer variety of membership and class packages that you can purchase so that you can try as few classes as you like or as many as you like. Check out their website (or App!). I purchased 3 class pack and have done 4 classes so far, and I must say that I have a whole new perspective on pilates now. Lastly the instructors are super cool and they have a playlist that keeps me moving! No more of that zen pilates that I've tried to fit myself in.
