I just signed up for the New client special at The Pad- $75 for 3 reformer classes is a good deal and since its my first time doing pilates, its nice to learn in a small group setting. They only have 4 reformer machines, so there will only be max 4 people in your class. I can see how with a combo of mat pilates and reformer one would get into shape. I've only been to one class, but the instructor and gal at the front desk were very nice. Parking is a pain, esp on the weekend so bring quarters or take the 45! read more

I'm torn...do I write a raving review and then have difficulty getting classes because the word is out, or do I keep my mouth shut? Well, I'm writing. I love this place. I have been taking the pilates reformer classes to help with my lack of flexibility and running. I feel stronger and they push me more than I would myself. I also have a hard time with some of the moves...not because of the instruction, I sometimes just can't figure out what I'm supposed to do (this has been a lifelong issue going back to my days in ballet), but the instructors are very patient and sweet. I am catching on and really feel relaxed after the classes. It's a nice complement to my workout schedule. read more

An intimate, friendly studio with kick ass yoga classes. Very clean and serene. I think I've found my favorite neighborhood yoga studio.

Finally a power yoga studio that's not absurdly heated! Loove these yoga classes. I can get my strength and cardio exercise without being suffocated by oppressive 96 degree heat. I started going to the pad studio in Marine. Soo sad they closed! But I try and make a trip to the city at least once a week to attend a yoga class at Pad. read more

It's simply great! Great teachers, great atmosphere, great music, great workout!! Just a fun and inviting place to be on any day of the week!! read more

The Pad is what a yoga studio should be! Extremely inviting environment, kind and knowledgable owners and instructors, good music during your session and blood orange water!!! The $10 for 10 classes is the best deal in town by far - SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO worth it!! read more

I am updating now - I've also been taking pilates reformer classes, and I love the pilates & yoga combo! Fantastic studio! This is a great studio - the yoga teachers are motivating and almost all of them are fantastic. The location is great, and the music is generally good. read more

Pilates here is the best kept secret. Class sizes are perfect. Staff is friendly and instructors are knowledgeable. I must say after going to 2 to 4 classes a week over the past 4 months I feel amazing. They are expanding their studio - super excited to see what it will be like. I recommend private sessions prior to taking any classes especially if you are new to Pilates. Classes with Jamie and Teddy are awesome. You will be pleased and hooked on this place. They have new joiner specials that you should take advantage of. read more

Went to Leila's class for the first time this week and I am hooked! The room is a gorgeous all white canvas and the staff was super sweet. I love getting my sweat on at The Pad! read more

The Pad is WONDERFUL. After only having done Bikram Yoga, I was nervous to try a different style, however I was converted quickly. The teachers here are amazing, especially Libby and Courtney. Nicole and Leila are great as well but not usually there during my routine 6:15 visit. Take one of their classes! The work out is tough but the atmosphere is what yoga should be. I always feel better when I leave than if I had just gotten a massage. I only wish it would be a FEW degrees warmer. Now that the temperatures dropped and there's no sun, the temperature of the room stays at about 78-80 instead of 85ish. Hands down, my favorite studio ever. read more

Libby's Saturday morning class at 10:30 am is a weekend ritual for my friends and I. Her playlists and flow sequences rock! If you like power vinyasa to amazing music then this class is for you. There's nothing better than starting your weekend by rejuvenating and sweating. Also The Pad let's you leave your yoga mat, which makes going to class convenient. Thanks Libby and The Pad! read more

I've been coming to the pad for over a year now. I'd never tried yoga before until I went to Lauren's class. I was hooked immediately! It's good for the mind and body- it's like therapy and an awesome workout all in one :) read more

So far, I've tried the prenatal Pilates classes and I really love them! The instructor, Ashley is awesome, extremely thorough and gives you a lot of personal attention to make sure your using the machines correctly. It's clean and I like that you can book appointments online to make sure you get a spot. read more

This is by far the best yoga studio I've found. Incredibly personal and inviting, the instructors really care. Most classes also goes beyond basic fitness into the psychology of mindfulness. read more

I had to come update my review as I just took my first yoga class at The Pad. Although I wasn't very satisfied with my mat pilates experience here, the yoga class was worlds apart! I took the Soul Flow class with Lauren Cohen and she was incredible. I was in the mood for a slower paced, breath-to-movement focused class and Soul Flow was exactly that. Lauren's intentions were right on par with what I was needing that night. The atmosphere of the room was great and you could really feel the yogi presence. Lauren had started class off by having everyone introduce themselves to someone new, which I truly appreciated! The only thing I wish were that there was a little more corrective guidance on some of the movements - we did a couple poses I hadn't done before and I wasn't entirely sure I was doing them properly. Overall though, very highly recommend and I will definitely be back for more yoga classes! read more

This review is for prenatal yoga. Specifically Sarah Walsh's class on Tuesday evenings. I can't say enough good things about this class - it saved me during pregnancy! My body and mind! I was nervous about going to class at first because I think yoga classes really depend on the teacher. (and probably because I was pregnant and didn't know if I could do some of the moves with my new body!) But, Sarah knows what she's doing! She is an expert in knowing what our ever changing bodies need, and has such a calm and nurturing spirit- which was so helpful during that time of my life! Sarah is so understanding and each class had different flows/poses so it never felt boring and repetitive. I always walked out feeling (and breathing) so much better. It was also nice to share the experience with other moms, some of who are good friends of mine now. I highly highly recommend Sarah's class to any expecting moms out there. I miss her and that class on Tuesday nights and wish she taught the post natal class. read more

This may be the newest yoga place on Cow Hollow, so but "A-OK" I won't be going too often because their yoga class pass pricing is up to 30% more than other studios. In an economic downturn? read more

This studio is amazing. I started doing yoga years ago in LA, and was devastated when my teacher left to make videos with Rodney Yee. Since then, I have been looking for a teacher and a studio to fill that hole. Pad is the place, and Leila is that teacher. She may be the best yoga instructor I have ever had. Although her classes are challenging and a great work out, there is an obvious focus on having fun too which I found very refreshing. The studio is gorgeous, and there's an eye towards environmentalism that I appreciate. Truthfully, I can't think of a single bad thing to say about this place. It's just amazing. read more

I've been doing pilates mat classes on and off for the last year through Crunch, but was recently introduced to Ansley Majit at the Pad (which is a clean, friendly, relaxing, and lovely studio in and of itself). 6 weeks into working with her and I'm already doing more than I ever though I could do with my pilates practice. I run and cycle a lot, so I thought I was relatively fit....yet I couldn't even touch my toes. Ansley's gentle, collaborative approach to training makes her seem accessible, yet she pushes me really hard and doesn't make me feel like the total novice that I am. She gives me homework to do in between classes (twice a week) and now I basically want to cancel my regular gym membership. Oh, and it doesn't hurt that's she's incredibly sweet and one of the few people that I enjoy being around before 8 in the morning. Ansley's helping me reach my fitness goals, which include much more than just touching my toes, and this is one of the best investments I've ever made in my personal (and dare I say mental?) health. read more

Ashley is the best. She got into my injury and fixed me. The studio is nice, but perhaps a bit busy. Ultimately my massage therapist (Ashley) blew me away with her healing hands, and care to my personal details. As a professional athlete, she helped me deal with an injury, and keep me in the game. I am eternally grateful, and highly recommend her hands! read more

I've enjoyed numerous classes at the Pad. It has a nice friendly vibe, attentive staff and clean space. There is very much a zen atmosphere that makes it conducive to mind / body work. read more

Just about the best experience I can imagine doing Pilates. I did not have a real interest in trying Pilates, but I had been hearing that it is great for rehabbing injuries, and for building core strength to help with athletics. I started racing in triathlons competitively a couple years ago, and I can already tell that my back does not bother me nearly as much on my hill climbs on the bike. Great studio and terrific instructors. read more

This place is great! Best yoga studio in the neighborhood by far. I moved here from LA where Power Yoga is huge and initially had a very hard time finding anything comparable. The Pad has that same great combination of relaxation/meditation and a sweaty workout. Cindy and Courtney are my two faves, but every class I have been to has been well worth it. You walk out feeling rejuvenated and worked all at the same time. The studio also has a great vibe, beautiful space to practice. Warm but not too hot to help work up that extra sweat. I can't say enough good things. I plan to practice here for years to come. read more

Great studio! I've been going here for about a month and really love the calming, open space and the welcoming vibe. The front desk has always been friendly, helpful and responsive. As for the classes, all of the instructors are great and knowledgeable, but Megan Webster's Power Yoga classes are particularly amazing. I've been to a number of other power yoga studios but always felt like it wasn't a real workout - maybe ok for a "rest" day but not nearly as efficient as going for a run or lifting weights if I wanted to log some real exercise minutes. Megan's class is a perfect blend of body resistance exercises that are truly hard work (I challenge you to do her chaturanga push-ups or intense ab series and not break a sweat) and more traditional power yoga. In her 75 minute class, I get all of the pose holding and breathing work I want from yoga plus a little bit of bootcamp and a few minutes of stretching and relaxation at the end. I leave feeling energized and relaxed, and I am sore the next day so I know that I did some real work. Megan gives you "levels" of each pose, so she's accessible for beginners and experienced yogis alike, and always provides clear instructions so you can either stay where you're comfortable or challenge yourself to go to the next level. She's also great about giving instructions on good form to keep you safe and make the poses more effective. Plus, she sets the class to super cool music and is always upbeat and enthusiastic. Her classes are fun and a great workout. Highly recommend!! read more

Attended a couples massage technique class here this past weekend. Our instructor was Chrystal. She totally made us and everybody feel comfortable and relaxed. The techniques learned have already been put to good use. My gf and I would recommend this class to everyone and we would definitely come back for a more advanced massage class. read more

I went to Leila Burrows' 6:30 am class and loved it! I don't typically practice yoga in the morning but wanted to give it a try! It was an AMAZING way to start off the morning and gave me a load of energy the rest of the day! It a beautiful space and there is plenty of room to practice. Planning on going next week! Woohoo! read more

The Pad feels like the yoga studio equivalent of the Cheers bar...if you come more than once or twice, everyone here knows your name. Very friendly, nice and helpful all around. I've gone to classes with 3 or 4 of the different instructors and while they all have had their own styles, they have been consistently great. read more

What a beautiful space! Clean, simple, elegant and yet inviting. I had a massage and bodywork session with Ashley Burnett who was AMAZING. I enjoy tough love when I receive a massage and that is just what Ashley gave. Her kneading was strong and deep but not too overwhelming. She hit all the right spots. Don't mean to sound sexist but normally I request a male massage therapist. Ashley was completely satisfactory and I would definitely return. She also integrates hot towels into her session...something I have never experienced. read more

I've really enjoyed Pilates at The Pad. I began working with Pilates Instructor Ansley Majit at the beginning of July. I had no prior experience with Pilates and was nervous about starting. I was relieved to find that Ansley provides very clear instructions and is highly attentive. I'm impressed with how varied each session is and always leave feeling positive and motivated. Ansley's ability to focus makes it easier for me to challenge myself without fear of injury. She provides great feedback, checks in frequently to see how I'm doing, and modifies movements to meet my individual needs. I recommend Ansley as an instructor, and The Pad is a very comfortable atmosphere for all levels of training. read more

This is for The Pad Pilates. Always greeted on arrival, usually by name. Beautiful facility, clean place to exercise. Equipment is current and in good working order. Instructors are mostly excellent. Individualized instruction when requested. Class size in reformer limited to 4 so no chaos. Overall a wonderful experience!! read more

The Pad is a beautiful studio with consistent programming. You know what you're going to get at the Pad - a consistent, strong flow class. Leila's morning classes have been a favorite way to start my morning. She teaches with clear direction and intention. No need to think at 6:30am - just move! She is a go to teacher there for me and I like her no nonsense approach. The Pad is great if you simply need to get your yoga flow class in. If you are looking for longer classes where you learn something new each time with a little dose of yoga theory, go elsewhere. The Pad is power yoga - in and out in 60 or 75 minutes. Very similar flow to each class, no matter the teacher. Good for intermediate level - not really for beginners or advanced. read more

My road to appreciating yoga has been long and challenging. Libby Murfey and Courtney Harris's classes at The Pad, however, have converted me! Their power classes are so much fun and are pleasantly challenging. Libby has awesome music, and I love Courtney's vibe. My only wish is that their morning classes started at 6am rather than 6:30. read more

Went to my first class at the Pad today. Great space, great vibe, clean, quiet, and convenient in the neighborhood. Kristin is a fab instructor! She is a clear communicator, a great coach, and the reformer class was challenging and fluid. Yay!! read more

This is a great clean studio and walking distance from my apartment so I wanted to really love it and I have to say the instructors were all great but the music that was played in the classes wasn't a zen experience...I felt like I was at a rave instead of a yoga studio. I'm going to try Pilates here as they have private classes for $25 with the instructors who are in training. read more

The Pad is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE STUDIO EVER! The girls here are really amazing, all of the teachers are kind and well educated. The music is great, vibe is great, studio is so clean. I definitely recommend Caitlin Oshea's classes---- love her, and Courtney Harris' classes as well. The studio as a whole seems to be such a welcoming and supportive environment! All the front desk people are awesome, and even when they can't answer my questions right away, I always get a response out of them through e-mail! This space is so peaceful, I love it... try it out! Trust me, you won't regret it! read more

The harmony in this place is just helping me centralize all the positive energy in my life and let it run the course of my week. I always go here once a week. read more

This is one of my FAVORITE spaces to practice and meditate. I should have written a review long ago, but Ansley is on point and at the top of her practice. Great for beginners/advanced yogis, with a clean and very large studio. Check it out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Looking for a great massage? I've found no one better than Ashley at the Pad Studios. My criteria for good masseuse? Understands body dynamics, knows how to work on problem spots, figures out the right pressure, listens to what I want worked on and works on that. read more

I cannot rave enough about the classes and instructors at The Pad. The studio was recommended to me by my acupuncture therapist. I have lower back disc problems and Pilates has changed my life! I primarily do Pilates reformer classes now, however I started with Pilates mat. The mat classes are more cost effective if you're budget conscious. The instructor, Shira, was so amazing and very helpful as I started back into working out after my back injury, being attentive to my form so that I didn't cause further injury to myself. Now I'm hooked and have moved on to the Pilates reformer classes. My core has never felt stronger. The instructors all have their own styles, which is great for variety. I highly recommend Becca, Jenise, and Ashlee - their classes fit best with my schedule. They all offer different yet challenging workouts that can be tailored to my injury as I continue to heal. I've also taken classes with Britt and Amelia and they were also fantastic! The studio overall is a great vibe - not a commercial gym feeling but offers a wellness experience every time I go. read more

I was looking at some class advertising they put on their window and a worker made a point to lock the front door. Cannot think of a more unwelcoming, un-yoga act than that. 0 stars. read more
