    I've never done yoga or Pilates in my life and thanks to The Mat both are now essential in my life! Love every single class!!! The instructors are so helpful and motivating (: 100/10 recommend!

    I love this yoga studio so much! The instructors are all phenomenal and they each have their own style of teaching and their own vibe. The classes are versatile and there is something for everyone. I usually leave here feeling mentally recharged and drenched in sweat. Don't be afraid to come and check it out. I was a little hesitant at first because I hate trying new places by myself but we are always our own roadblock. You won't regret it, try a class and don't be surprised if you walk out with a membership like I did!

    I have been coming here for almost a year now and I have been loving it! All of the instructors are well-experience, kind, and motivating. One thing that always surprises me is how intentional they are about remembering our names. I highly recommend joining The Mat community.

    Crystal, Joselyn, Britt, Jazz, Jack, Melina, Mary! All amazing. Positive and encouraging team. Comfortable and vibrating environment for the community and people who come here. Not only are you strengthening your body and breaking a sweat. All of the instructors incorporate mental health awareness. The Mat is self care at its finest!

    I've been coming to this studio for about a year now and when I say this reignited my passion for working out! I moved to the area about two years and was apprehensive on trying a new workout studio after taking classes at a Club Pilates in the area however after taking my first class at The Mat that fear quickly disappeared. Joselyn and Crstyal are super kind and offer some of the best classes i've ever taken! They offer a variety of different class styles with different instructors as well who are ALL wonderful at what they do! Everyone has their own style and music preferences which is amazing because there is a class for everyone! My go-to instructors are Emily, Joselyn, Crystal, Brittany and Mary although I have tried everyone and they are amazing those instructors just have class times that work best with my schedule! The pricing at this studio is amazing, it's not overpriced like most studios and their parking is super accessible! They offer a variety of options from $28 drop ins to class pack to memberships. The studio itself is so cute and welcoming, Immediately when you walk in the instructor is there to check you in. There are cubbies as well where we are able to place our belongs before heading into the heated space to begin class. There is a bathroom in the studio that is stocked with deodorant as well as pads for emergencies which eases my mind when it's that time of the month. Overall I know I have found a safe community to be able to move my body again. I would and have DEFINITELY recommend this studio to anyone interested!

    Mom of four with a high demand job, serious about blowing off steam, releasing stress, staying fit, and prioritizing my physical and mental health. The Mat is my sanctuary, it's where I go for some "me" time and for amazing workouts. The instructors are awesome, great energy, serious about their practice, and keep classes fun! They have a great variety of class types and times, and even change up the classes with new moves and use of different equipment. The studio is very professional (no cancelled classes, they start and end on time, etc.) and is super clean! I highly recommend joining this studio, life changing!

    I have been manifesting something like The Mat to be in this location for years! I am so extremely thankful for this studio, the owners and all staff. I appreciate them and this little community they have built in such a short time. This is where I go for me time-mentally and physically. The studio is small, but cozy & clean with a variety of classes to choose from. I guarantee you will sweat. Don't hesitate to take care of and challenge yourself here!

There is an exercise named the hundreds, and after doing it, my neck would hurt. I told Cristela about it after class. The next morning Cristela said she'd been thinking about it and wanted to watch me do the exercise. She noticed I lifted with my head first instead of my chest and that was what was causing my neck to hurt. She is very thoughtful with every member. It is not just Cristela that is knowledgeable, patient and kind; every instructor is invested in seeing the members work at their own pace and succeed.

Compelled enough to take time out of my life and write this review- Trust me I don't want to but I also don't think its fair I'm getting treated int his manner. Wednesday, January 10, 2024: commencement of text messages from "Club Pilates Benicia" from someone named Aaijsha? with the 1855.920.0316 text number.  Sunday, March 2, 2024: I ask for a menu, any grand opening specials & their open date. Said due to open April 6. I ask for the menu. ask me to call when I already confirmed I preferred text messages. I ask for a menu again. He/She asks for "a menu of what? I don't understand what your asking me"I state a membership menu., a brochure of all the membership options; something with all the plans people are able to select from and see the membership options. (very standard & typical for any business newly opening up) marketing material...I asked if that made senseHe/She stated they don't put pricing on brochures because prices are subject to change and asked if he/she was making sense to me.  Sometime in March:They had a couple pop-ups. One got cancelled due to the rain. Thursday, April 28, 2024: I walk into the studio as I see they are open. I finally see a brochure! never mention my experience but glad to get some questions answered. Lovely girl with bangs that helped me. She said they had a promo but never mentioned that there was a deadline. I let her know I will definitely join but needed to consult with my husband as to which plan because the promo was not applicable to the plan that includes being able to work out at other locations as we do travel.  Today, May 3, 2024 8am: I walk in because I called twice and no answer. I try and sign up to take advantage of the promo and they tell me I can't. The computer was down so I had to wait for a re-boot. I inquired about joining that day and being able to still make it to a class because I scanned the cute little QR code on the back of the brochure I got the week prior and it brought me to intro classes only for the following week and I wanted to take a class that morning or day- right away. I've already taken the into class at the Walnut Creek location and my friend is opening up the El Cerrito location but I live here so by default of course. The lady in front advises I come to the 10am class that the owner teaches. Im just exhausted at this point to get an answer, contact. I WANT TO JOIN BUT AFTER AN ENDLESS RUN AROUND & GETTING TREATED LIKE THIS,WOULD YOU SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS & JOIN? I DON'T FEEL VALUED AS A PERSON, CONSUMER, MEMBER, WOMAN, MOTHER NOTHING.

    I'm just going to settle on 3 stars here, an average of all my experiences. Long story short, if…read moreyou go to the ER while you are here or shortly after, you have to immediately return with a copy of a doctor's note or email it. You need to do this asap and specify freezes on all services. If you have Kids Klub, END IT. I went to Vivian who was there the last time I had an ER visit a couple years ago: this past December, I was injured again suddenly on site during a training appointment (due to my body/health situation, not my trainer or an exercise injury) and I let her know I was getting a ride to the ER this time instead of an ambulance, since it was a was a touch less urgent. She was responsive this day and seemed to enter the freezes correctly. I dropped off the first note 2 days later to support a freeze for a couple months since a major surgery would get scheduled. I was told I had an 8" growth and cancer in my blood and had to wait the entire winter holidays for further info until doctors were back in the hospital. A few weeks later the billing began... I called Vivian and mentioned my bank was informed of my condition and knew to not pay the bills until a certain date. She laughed and said I'd be billed later anyways. I felt like "I have cancer again, I could die this time with this huge growth. She's laughing at me." I know it was not personal, but forgive me, I'll never forget the feeling of thinking I might die and getting this is the response while asking for help. My health is poor after surviving breast cancer treatments in 2020 and they wrecked parts of my body but eradicated an aggressive form of breast cancer. I don't want to go into how bad the type is, but the odds are very bad with that type and they use the highest doses of their most aggressive chemo to eradicate the cancer. That's why I struggle and have gone to the ER twice in a couple years. But working out improves my condition, so it's essential. I'm so glad I found out a few days later that the current ER test was a misdiagnosis. I eventually received a big surgery, recovered and called in to sort out the bills that were waiting for me. Because I was experienced in navigating the disorganized billing practices, it was a smaller bill this time. I reached a teleservice rep who had her manager Mark look into it and it was fixed after 3 phone calls for a full refund. I know it's not personal. But I've decided that clearly this is not customer service at all. This is just workers, protecting themselves and the company and you just have to advocate super quick, do the footwork and calls and take notes, document, stay on it, trust nothing, stay positive and confirm and be persistent. Most businesses exhibit hospitality and customer service at an average level. Often if a medical incident occurs you'll get a compassionate response and excellent customer care. Not here, you will get compassion at first and solutions that fall through. Then they will lose confidence and be strained but still attempt to help. Eventually, it requires an escalation and manager intervention to correct the situation. The in-gym customer service experience will be good about situational things like everyday interactions. But if your issue has ANYTHING to do with billing, there is no safety net no matter how serious your medical situation. Had I only had a normal membership instead of a training membership too, I probably could have just canceled or never been the wiser. I'm actually hopeful no one ever has to experience this zone that they are weak at. But if you do, stay flexible, positive, and stay on it. Good luck and good health! I saw billing fees,

Hands down. I joined last year because even though 24 hour fitness was more affordable, the machines and building were just going down hill fast. The last straw was when I had a partially torn meniscus. I couldn't go up and down stairs but I still went to the gym for rehab and for upper body. Their elevator has been out of service for WEEKS. Essentially making it nearly impossible for me to workout if I needed to use the restroom or locker rooms at all. After this I looked through multiple gyms, pricing and their benefits and went with Anytime. I absolutely LOVE that I can go to any of the AF gyms. I've been to a few others and it's been great to hit the gym when I'm traveling or on vacation. Overall Pinole AF is clean, safe and I love that I never really have had to wait for a machine. Yes the gym is small, but it makes up for it by being one of the most hygienic places I've worked out in. Most of the time if someone is on a machine they never truly hog it and I'm able to get my workout done in the time I want. I'm grateful to have found AF Pinole!
