The vibes in this studio are immaculate and I'm very appreciate that Nati spent the time to explain everything because I brought my mom for an intro reformer class and she loved it! Parking is easy, it's on the street! You need a code to get into the area, but once you have the code it's easy. Really excited for this spot, I love the thought and care that went into the studio design as well as the quality of the equipment!

Studio is beautiful and aesthetic, yet functional. Loved the Reformer + Strength class that I tried. I've done both separately before, but it was refreshing to have them combined. For the strength training, you can customize by picking the dumbbells/kettlebells weight. Not intimidating at all, even for first timers! Nati is the best - she truly forms a community at the studio. Several regulars that are all friendly! :)

If you are one of the many of us, trying to get back into shape after Covid, Truve Fit should be…read moreyour first stop. A key factor of whether you will stick with an exercise program is the having a frictionless environment. Truve has validated parking at the Hive so you do not have to be driving around in circles trying to figure out where you can park safely and get into the class on time. When you walk in through the front doors, the vibe is very chill so you do not feel anxious walking into class. Most importantly, the other people working in the gym are extremely supportive and will become your community quickly. Having all these things in place makes a fitness routine so much easier to establish. There are even free community classes if that's how you prefer to give this place a try. The instructors are excellent. Classes are capped at 10 for general fitness classes, and three for Pilates. As a result, their instructors can give you abundant corrections and attention so you avoid injuries and develop great form. If you are worried that you don't know how to use a Pilates Reformer, you can hire a private trainer for three classes to learn the ropes like I did. This is the premier gym in Oakland for rehabilitation from injuries. I am a 7 year cancer survivor who has had numerous surgeries. Each time, I've had to fight back to regain my health, strength and flexibility. My last surgery was major, set me back the farthest, and happened during the height of the pandemic; recovery felt close to impossible until I walked through these doors. Not only have I converted fat into muscle, lost weight, gotten so much stronger and gained so much range of motion over 5 months, but I can keep trying new things like TRX Bootcamp that turned out to be fun. Truve's got a wide range of things you can try to keep from being bored. Also, you can go buy fresh baked bread and pastries at Firebrand Artisan Bakery next store or empanadas at Javi's Empanadas caddy corner after you finish your workout. Truve's location is fabulous.

I really appreciate how open she is to listening to feedback, and I've also noticed how she interacts with first-timers. The level of attention and care she shows--especially by asking about injuries the club should know about--really stands out. It makes new members feel seen, safe, and comfortable. She's truly the cherry on top of an already amazing team of instructors.

This Rockridge location is definitely at the top of my list! I usually find 1-2 instructors at each location I like and strictly book their classes, but in my first 4 classes here I've been led by Melissa, Holly, and Elisabeth - I can't compliment them enough! They are so professional, incredibly knowledgeable, aware of the entire class, have great energy, and their class flow for both 1 and 1.5 just make sense. The studio itself is also extremely clean, no smells, pretty large selection of clothes/socks, and the front desk is super friendly. I'm bummed I'm only in this area one month out of the year!

I'm a big fan of Michelle Danna's classes. She keeps things varied (I never think to look at the clock when she's teaching), has an eagle eye for form and is just a joy to be around. I've worked out in both the reformer room and the springboard room (sometimes both in one class) and can vouch that both are clean and well maintained. Recently, the Saturday class I'd been taking with Michelle dropped off the schedule and I was sad to see it go. Then, almost like magic, I received a call from PrecisionPoint Pilates telling me it was back on. I found this to be a super considerate (and smart!) move on their part and I really appreciated being able to get my stretch on last Saturday because of it. If you're looking for a relaxed and welcoming Pilates studio in the Grand Lake area, PrecisionPoint Pilates is it.

I look forward to Amy's weekly class online and love in person privates with Bonnie and Nadya. I continued doing Pilates throughout my second pregnancy and after my baby was born.

All of the instructors are so thoughtful about exercises and adjustments to deal with my diastasis recti and got me to a place where my body is strong enough and I felt comfortable to do everything I want to. wish I got to go more often!

I even went to a different lagree studio regularly when I moved for a summer and my body changed for the worse only after 3 months-- it really shows you how effective and unique BOLD is. I guess I can never move haha.

It was a great balance of multiple options that a typical pilates class might include. The class was packed to the brim with 12 students, but it didn't feel crowded. It was very clean. There wasn't a ton of space for people to wait for the previous class to finish, but it wasn't a big deal. There are lockers (just crates; no locks) to stow your items. There is a water fill station. We brought our own grippy socks, but there are socks available for purchase. There is plenty of parking. There was a waiver we filled out and brief information was shared at the end if we were interested in signing up that day. Obviously, prices change/ fluctuate and pilates classes are generally quite pricy, and that's true here too. Leading up to the class, it was easy enough to sign up. I wanted to take the class with my sister, but it was full. However, it somehow worked out that we were in the same class. Overall, we had a wonderful experience!
