My favorite studio! The fun and motivational environment has gotten me back on a fitness routine for the first time in 3 years. I look forward to my weekly workouts. Amazing selection of clothing and accessories. Highly recommend and worth the value. read more

Transform Fitness Studio - Mountain View - Pilates Near Me - Mountain View, California

Megaformer is like "pilates on crack," you say? How could I resist? I love pilates! Unfortunately, I had quite a few issues with the instruction provided at Transform Fitness which I'm personally a stickler about. - The 10 minute intro provided prior to the start of class for newbies consisted mostly of listing off the names of each part of the megaformer or associated equipment. I felt like this told me nothing about how to actually use the equipment. - The lack of instruction regarding proper form. There was more emphasis on the name of the actual exercise we were doing and what spring tension to use rather than what is the proper form and how to properly execute the exercise. As one of the four newbies in class, I would have appreciated more detailed instruction on how to perform the exercise rather than just hearing the name of it. Also, if instruction was provided, it was just stated once SUPER FAST so how is a newbie supposed to be expected to process everything at once? I can understand a new workout can be overwhelming but I think more attention needs to be given to this. For example- when kneeling on the carriage, I would have appreciated a warning to slowly pull the handles upward rather than quickly so that I wouldn't fly into the well. Nope. I pulled up and felt myself jerk and nearly fly face first into the well. In another exercise, we were standing legs split- one on the moving carriage and one on the platform. The instructor didn't even notice that I didn't have my handbars in my hands, When I tried to use my two legs to move the extremely heavy carriage away and nearly strain my groin, she smiled at me and said, "Hard, isn't it?" That's when I realized everyone else had their handlebars in their hands to help pull the carriage apart. Dude, my groin hurts thinking about it. Sometimes the instructor would come around and put two fingers to a body part and then walk off. This also happened to a friend. What does that mean? Lol. Should I curve? Straighten? Do something else? Press to indicate contraction of that muscle but tapping with one hand and walking off tells me nothing. - Oh my god, the paparazzi. If you want to feel like a celebrity while working out, this is the place to be. I felt super uncomfortable while one of the studio personnel was snapping videos, snapchatting, and taking photos of everyone. In this day and age, it seems very normal for folks to broadcast their entire lives to the world but some of us still like to keep to ourselves. Definitely felt the workout for two days after. I think megaformer is a great workout for those familiar with the machine and know how to keep themselves safe on the machine. Newbies should take caution and go at their own pace. Ask for help if you're confused. Everyone there is really nice. When the instructor couldn't notice my very confused face even when my head was flying around looking for help, the two gals next to me were helpful in yelling out what I was missing. I think the drop in price is quite pricey given the quality of instruction though. What I did like was the zero pressure after class to sign up for anything more. They asked how we liked it and hoped to see us again. Much appreciated!! read more

The strongest place ever! I am addicted. Tried many other kinds of workouts and going to stick with it at least once a week. read more

I'm so grateful to have found transform! It's such a great workout but also zero impact so my injuries don't flare up. I really appreciate the knowledgable instructors, especially the ones who do hands on corrections. After my trial week I bought a package of 40 classes and haven't looked back! read more

Great location, awesome teachers, hard workout that's very addicting. It's pretty easy to schedule a class, I usually have no problem getting in at the time that works best for me. Come check it out. read more

A+ for the workout and A++ for the amazing staff who motivates and inspires me to push harder in every class. If you want a workout that leaves you with a toned, fit body, this is the one. For mom's-to-be, I've been doing this workout throughout my pregnancy and it's been a perfect complement to my walks or yoga. The workout is a quick 45 minutes and you feel great afterwards. We modify when needed, but still work out the core muscles. Highly recommend Lagree fitness in general, but I want to really stress the importance of great instructors - this studio has nailed it. Andrea, Katherine, Jane, Lynn, the list goes on and on...great, great staff. (Icing on the cake is the amazing new studio they've just moved into on Castro St. Very cool vibe and it's kept clean and tidy). read more

I've been going to Transform Fitness Studio since February 2016 and I've been a fan ever since. Hands down the most challenging exercise I've ever done in my life. The instructors are all great and they're very motivated to keep the workout challenging. When I got pregnant, I was hesitated that this challenging workout was safe for my pregnancy, and I was trying to look for prenatal exercises, but most of prenatal exercises offered were yoga. Then I found out that they offer sessions for mom-to-be with Nina Sui and Suzie Hemp. My session with Nina Sui was a bliss! I told her that I'm pregnant and need modifications for my growing belly. She is very understanding as she's a mom herself and she always makes sure that I feel fine. Now that I'm going toward the end of my 2nd trimester, I have no plan to stop going until my body tells me so. My body feels so much better and I feel empowered after each session. Thank you Nina and Transform Fitness Studio for accommodating great exercise for this mom-to-be! read more

I've been coming to Transform for a few months now and I love this place! The instructors are great as they each take the time to help you with your formation so you can get the most out of your workout. I definitely noticed that I'm stronger as I continue to build my core. Try it... you won't be disappointed. read more

So yesterday was my very first workout at Transform Fitness Studio and let me tell you this is INTENSE! My mom and I stopped by a few weeks ago to check it out and get more information on what exactly it was. We had spoken to the owner & was kind enough to give us a code to try our first class for free. As I said yesterday was my first class- I took the 7:00am with Rory. It was noted that I arrive 15mins prior to class beginning in order to get a run through of the equipment & what to expect. LET ME TELL YOU- this workout is no joke. It worked every muscle in my body & some I didn't even know I had lol. Although I was the only one in my class that new (I believe), Rory didn't go easy on me. When I didn't know what to do he helped me out and adjusted my form as needed. I like it also because he pushed me, but didn't over do it & had patience with me which was really comforting. I was able to speak to him after class to let me know how I enjoyed it & what I should continue to expect if I stuck with this workout. Once I left and got home I signed up for the 1 month unlimited class & have already booked some more classes. Over all it was a great first class and I can't wait to continue with Transform Fitness! read more

I'm totally hooked on Lagree workouts but the classes are so pricey. I've already reached my ClassPass monthly limit for the Lagree studio close to my home in SF. Since I was heading down to the South Bay today, I did a quick search and found ClassPass availability at Transform Fitness Studio. My friend met me there for a pre-meal workout. I had done megaformer classes twice during the last week and I went to an intense yoga sculpt class yesterday. With all I put my body through this week, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to make it through this 45 minutes. It was tough, particularly the lunges, but the instructor was so supportive and really helped us through the movements. We only used yellow springs today and it was a challenging workout. We ended it with army crawls and by that point, I could barely even move. The studio is not as nice or fancy and some of the others I've been to. The workout itself is top notch. read more

This is a really great space to learn Pilates as well as train your body for strengthening. Would recommend it to anyone who's ants yo see the difference. read more

I love Transform! Every instructor I have had a class with has been awesome, all the staff are kind and ready to answer any questions, and I have found the exercises have been helpful for my knee and hip problems! Highly recommended! read more

I tried a spin class here a few months ago and it was ok-- very similar to the spin classes I normally take at 24 Hour Fitness. They both have the same Schwinn bikes, mirrors around the room, the lights are dimmed and there's colorful disco ball type lights. I wouldn't pay the extra money for a spin class here, as it is very pricey and I get the same workout at the gym. The only difference from 24 was that there was lots of vacant bikes and they offer towels. Other than that, the style of classes between the two are super similar. Pilates classes seem awesome here, and I absolutely love reformer pilates so I would like to try it here one day. read more

I've been doing lagree for a few months, and this is a great, clean studio! Great, friendly instructors that will kick your butt. I came in as a newbie, and they were really welcoming, and they have towels to wipe all the sweat that you'll be accumulating everywhere. Although males tend to be the minority in classes, guys can still find a great workout here. read more

This is pilates on crack and it is the best workout ever! I've been doing Megaformer classes and going to Transform for over two years and have seen myself turn from an actual couch potato into an athlete. The team at Transform creates a welcoming and positive environment that allows you to focus on yourself and your personal journey, no matter where on that journey you are. The trainers are great (shoutout to Andrea) and are all always available to chat if you have any questions, or just want to talk about boba. The provided towels are an extra bonus to the fantastic full body workouts, and you definitely need them! Absolutely check it out - but be forewarned, you will be sore! read more

One of my new favourite places to work out - been going 2x/week for the past few months! The teachers are super enthusiastic, professional, fun and encouraging, and the classes stay challenging and never get old, no matter how many times you go. Highly recommend! read more

I have been coming here for over 15 classes now and have thoroughly enjoyed every session. The instructors are all very understanding of everyone's challenges and potential injuries and offers great adjustments based on our needs. The facility is also very clean and I always leave feeling better about myself. Definitely highly recommend. read more

I've done quite a few classes here with various instructors, but my favorite is Andrea Ruelas! After my Classpass classes max out at the studio, I'm starting to find myself paying for the classes with her even though they are pricey. Every class is super hard and I'm usually sore for 3-4 days after but it hurts so good! Can't wait for another class. read more

Still here a year later! The trainers here really invest the time to perfect your form, which makes the workout infinitely harder! Great studio, great community, and great workout. read more

Great classes and instructors! Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Total body workout that is core focused. While pretty challenging, the movements are really easy on the joints. Highly recommended! read more

This is hands down my FAVORITE lagree fitness studio in the bay. All the instructors here are so fun and challenging. My favorite is Andrea who is so freakin' funny sometimes I think I burn more calories laughing in the class. Just kidding, but really such a good workout with her. The 45 minutes go by SO quickly, but the workout is so intense I'm always shaking and half dying. I love the studio space as it's hit with so much natural lighting. All the workers are so incredibly friendly and accommodating. If you have an injury, make sure you let the instructor know. They will find you alternatives. I will forever be loyal to Transform Fitness Studio :) read more

I like to consider myself to be in ~relatively~ good shape, but within the first three minutes of the Megaformer workout, I started to feel beads of sweat and started to regret even stepping foot into the studio (though by the end of class, I was SO happy I stuck with it and will definitely be returning!!). "Megaformer" is an ass-kicking, bootylicious workout. It works out those muscles I never knew I had in ways I never knew possible. All the moves are done on the Megaformer (not to be confused with a pilates reformer) and they are done in tiny, slow, deliberate movements. The machine seems a bit intimidating at first, but have no fear, it's pretty intuitive and the instructors will demonstrate the movements. I've only taken classes with Adrian, and he's definitely very upbeat and chatty so the 45 minutes just fly by. Oh, and there are absolutely NO BREAKS during the workout. Each move is performed for 60-90 seconds, back to back. There are only nine Megaformer machines, so each class is intimate (and also means you can't slack off during class!) Overall the studio is bright and clean, equipped with a bathroom and small changing area (no showers). read more

This is a long overdue review. I had been walking by this studio for months before I tried it. I signed up for a classpass trial in June and this studio happened to be on it, so it was the perfect opportunity! The studio is beautiful and clean. There are also really cute, fun workout clothes to look through. My first class was with Andrea, who will kick your butt in the first 5 minutes. All of the instructors are really great, and all have a slightly different style -- but there is one thing in common, so much little slow movement, but SO MUCH SWEAT. No matter which instructor you get, it will end up being a killer workout! Expect your abs to hurt for about 5 days after your first class! I love the additional of the new spin studio -- the two compliment each other perfectly. read more

I'm a competitive runner (~20-30mi/week) and this is the BEST crosstraining workout I've ever done. The trainers are really enthusiastic and great and the machine, while it looked like a torture device to me, is actually a lot of fun if you like a hard workout. Don't be fazed by the glum exterior of the building because the inside is very clean and comfortable. This is a great start and I hope the program continue to do well! It's also a great price. The workout is 45 min which I think is a perfect length for that high level of intensity and the 8 classes for $120 is really good for the quality of exercise you're getting esp compared to other types of cross training ie cycling, zumba, bikram etc. (I think) I look forward to going again! read more

I have been to a lot of lagree studios across the state and country. Transform is one that I frequent the most! I absolutely love this exercise! It's always challenging/rewarding and fun! Here are my likes and dislikes: Likes 1. Friendly instructors. All are very motivating and most importantly, all offer modifications for every fitness level. They all ask for feedback after each class. Andrea is my favorite! She is challenging, but she makes you laugh, so you kind of forget that she is semi-torturing you! 2. Newer machines! Trust me, it makes a difference. Plus the machines are nicely spaced out. It really sucks when you go to a studio that has too many machines for the space and you end up smacking your neighbor! 3. Very traditional lagree movements (this can be both good and bad). You get a full body workout, but it also means less variety in the routines. 4. They turn on the air conditioning! I like to sweat, but not drown in it! Dislikes 1. I'm a glutton for punishment, so I wish the classes were longer (50 min instead of 45) 2. Some instructors don't keep us in moves long enough to burn out and achieve the "shake." I want to be sore! read more

This is one of my favorite Lagree studios in the South Bay. I've had classes with all of the instructors and my favorites are Jennifer, Adrian, and Andre (her class is soooo good & hard!). These instructors really care about form and giving you an amazing workout. Additionally, Lagree is just fantastic- don't be scared! read more

Well deserved 5 stars for this place. I've only gone to the megaformer classes and they've kicked my butt each time. Adrian is incredibly nice and walks around and corrects form, makes you push yourself to the max, and encourages you. His Australian accent is of course endearing and makes the class fun hehe allo mate! :D I have worn grippy socks each time, but not required. Regular socks/barefoot work also. The morning classes have 3-5 people so small enough that he focuses on everyone. The moves are meant to hone in on your small tendons. Most workouts focus on the big ones - quads, glutes, etc, which over time are used to the same moves like squats. These moves find your random tiny muscles and make them SHAKE. They trick your body which is how change is made! Weirdly, I like that I can't do a majority of the moves fully because that means theres lots of room for improvement and slowly I can get off of the "modifications"! Only recommendation is maybe adding some cardio. If we did a few jumping jacks in the beginning it might be nice to sweat a little. They have half spin, half megaformer classes though. Love it here! (no showers, yes changing rooms/bathroom with facewash/lotion, yes water fountain, yes towels, and yes parking lot) PS - I checked online for pricing (I have Classpass) and I don't think it's worth anywhere near $30+/class. I find NO classes in the country to be $30 a pop which seems to be the going rate these days, but nonetheless, the classes are great, but the studio itself isn't that impressive (no showers, for example), that would not warrant their price tag. read more

The trainers are top notch. Positive and knowledgeable. They have great enthusiasm for their job and their workouts are the very definition of "Full Body". Everything is clean and state of the art. Jen is amazing and she will motivate you to push yourself. Do not miss this place if you are serious about fitness read more

Bought a class package two months ago, and I can't be happier with my decision. They have a nice lineup of classes and instructors, each with their own unique teaching style. The workout is challenging and accommodating to different bodies. The class is easy to follow, but never feels easy, which to me is a good thing. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to tone up their body. read more

This studio is so amazing. Each instructor I've take a class with has been so positive and encouraging. After years of wanting to take a pilates class, I finally did a trial and instantly fell in love! I can't help but want to take everyone I know to a class. read more

Nice workout but I don't like be at a place that charges $20 for a pair of socks. Seriously, ripping off your customers is not ok. And yes, no one forced me to buy them but renting socks is a very unhygienic practice. read more

So, i've delayed and delayed and delayed going to my first class. Well, i finally did pass that hurdle and went to a class with Stephanie Lin. 1. the facility was great and conveniently located in downtown Mt. View. Parking was ok since i went to a morning class. 2. Customer Service - Excellent!!! I bought my intro class awhile back but life happens and I got busy and didn't get to the class until my class pass expired. I called and they are super nice to extend it for me. They are also very welcoming and makes you feel at ease. 3. Instruction was phenomenal. This is my first (and hopefully not the last) to do Lagree/Megaformer. I've done barre exercises before but i have to admit, that i am intimidated with the machine/equipment. But Stephanie was extremely patient with me. She actually put me in the middle of the class---which kind of overwhelmed me but she made me feel comfortable. She kept an eye on me the whole time and has been extremely patient with me. As i've said, i was intimidated by the equipment and i have to admit i have no great balance and that scares me to death since i dont know how to use the machine. But Stephanie took it to the next level in keeping an eye on me. If not for her, i definitely would feel overwhelmed and discouraged. The actual class is in no way easy. In fact, my legs were shaking the whole time (it still is after hours of the exercise). I know i will feel the effects in the coming days. But the 45 mins definitely will work your entire body. Lastly---they don't force you to buy classes like some places i've been before. Thank you, Stephanie for making my first class a success (i think!) read more

If you haven't tried yet you need to!! For a busy mother of 2 little boys, I was looking for a place to help get back in shape and feel good again. Transform fitness has done just that. It's a great whole body workout in just 45 min. The MegaHIIT classes are great to get some extra cardio. The instructors are friendly, encouraging, and guide you through tough routines that have you feeling tired and proud when they are over! Would highly recommend trying a class. read more

This studio is pretty awesome, very large, bright, and clean. They have the newest Megaformer machines. It's still new, so the classes don't get filled up way in advanced like the other studios. Parking is also a breeze. Jen, the owner is very nice and accommodating. Pilates Megaformer workout is no joke. My sore abs and glutes love it. read more

I am lucky enough to live right down the street from Transform! This is certainly a gem as far as fitness studios go. Jenn is the friendliest most responsive owner and makes a real effort to know all of her clients. The instructors find a way to make an otherwise difficult class light-hearted, fun, and welcoming for people of all abilities. I have very high standards for Lagree, as I originally started doing Lagree at a very challenging studio in LA. I have found that the instructors Kat, Andrea, Lisa, and Ceana have become my favorites and have the most challenging classes (if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you right?). Everyone there is great though. I am also happy to see an arms & abs class on the schedule monthly now, as my only slight complaint has been that some of the classes have way too much time spent on legs and not enough on core and arms ( my personal preference). I have tried a few other Lagree studios in the Bay Area, but I keep coming back to Transform. If you want a challenging, yet fun and friendly place to work out, this is the place!! read more

I'm a pilates junkie and this is the BEST pilates studio in the South Bay. All of the instructors are awesome - super warm, friendly, funny, and kick my a$$ (which is looking better by the day!). I haven't worked out in ages due to an injury; but after only a month here, I'm already seeing significant progress in strength and muscle definition. I do wish they would crank up the music a little louder, as I personally get more pumped up with loud dance music, but that's just me. If you're looking to get in shape, there's not a better and more fun workout than pilates (on the Megaformer), in my opinion. New client special is only $149 for the month, unlimited, which is a total steal. Thanks Jen, and team, for the tough love and getting me lean again! read more

I LOVE lagree and I love this studio. This type of workout is addicting and I've been coming here 4 times a week. My core is stronger, arms & butt more defined, and for the first time I see some abs! The class is 45 minutes long and it goes by fast. Lagree has trained me to stay focus from the ultra-slow movement on the megaformer. It's the only time during the day where I can clear my mind. After each workout I'm sore the next day so I never feel plateau. It's fun, challenging and I highly recommend! read more

I found Transform Fitness on Classpass but decided to go all in and signed up for the promotional week they offered to newcomers. I love the workouts! Enough that I wake 4:30am, 2-3 times a week to make it to classes from SF!! Each instructor adds their flavor to the workouts which helps keep the routines challenging and fresh. Even as a newcomer learning the moves, directions are easy to follow. The workouts are very structured and organized. The 45 minutes for class pass very quickly! It's engaging and challenging enough that you don't dread and count the minutes for class to end. More often than not, I'm surprised that more than half the class is over. The instructors are welcoming, friendly and attentive! I like the options for modifications and corrections to maximize the workout for each individual's needs. The studio is open and spacious with basic fundamental amenities--towels, water, bathroom, cubbies and dressing rooms. It's super convenient and close to the MV Caltrain station. I always leave the Transform Fitness with enough energy to come back again for me. I'm able to do consecutive days without a complete burnout. Just enough burn to know you've gotten a solid workout in for the day. Small micro-movements with tremendous payoff. I've taken classes 2-3 times a week for a month and can already see a small difference. I have a weak core and I genuinely feel like I walk out of class a little stronger and more aware of how to engage my core. Transform Fitness set the bar high for Lagree reformer workouts. For someone who commutes to MV for work, this studio is a little treasure from location, atmosphere and energy! read more

You can't help but love this place - after the workout! The instructors are rock solid, entertaining and make you work. For me, I had done cardio my entire life and never realized that core works outs are a more efficient way of staying trim. Jen is an awesome owner and thrives on individual achievement. And what I really like is the diversity of people that go to make themselves better. read more

One Megaformer class and you'll feel it the next day...legs, arms, abs, buttocks...sore everywhere. But a good sore that you want to come back for more because you know it's working. You never know what move comes next so even if you take this class day after day, you won't get bored. And for some reason, 45 mins goes by quickly. Friendly staff and awesome instructors. If you're looking for strength and toning, this is the place to go. Need cardio? Take their Megacycle class. Spinning is not my thing although I did try it a few times and I admit it was a good workout too! read more
