The temperature was a little warmer than I would like, but I figured it would be okay. I went yesterday and the music was blaring! So loud! Everyone had headphones on, so I'm not quite sure why the music is even playing. I have a lot of sensory issues and it was too much. I was trying to block out their music with my podcast and I could still hear the music. And the temperature. The temperature is just too high for working out. I definitely don't want to start out hot. Anyway, I'm not super impressed so far. Those two little things would make such a difference.

More Free weights would be great too. Overall, really like the casual and friendly space. Good people.

I am one of those that has to keep taking runs at the gym, need to go, but find it intimidating, and fairly easily talked out of gym day. If you are a gym person, that won't bug you and it is probably 5 stars all the way. One of the reasons I joined here were there classes, and what seems to happen every time i join some place for the classes, they cancel classes. They still have a LOT of classes, and if you are into yoga, and variations of that, you will LOVE this place. I do not... Their Hiit classes are getting more popular, and I am sure they are great, I am not ready to do them, not even close, but the problem, for me, is when they are going on, you can't use the Hiit zone, which is easily a 1/3 of the gym floor. This is not a big space, they have used the space efficiently, but when you lose a good portion, its cramped. and also, my favorite things to do, the things that get me to the gym are in the Hiit zone, so class days, no zone, but also, space isnt available, so that means that the hard cores are crammed together competing for space, so those that might be more inclined to use the free weights etc. are backed up, so they park on the circuit machines, basically that means that I am not getting a work out in because I (and others like me-yes there have been discussions) rely on the consistency of the circuit, and the fact that i have zero idea how to replicate on the other machines, that are packed any way. so I go find the one thing i can do, get frustrated (this is on me, i know, but iykyk, if you don't you can't understand) and just bag it. Then go to the massage chairs, the membership is worth those chairs. Generally don't have too many issues there other than basic common courtesy form other members. The area is for upgraded membership, has tanning beds, red light saunas and a stretching mat area and 4 massage chairs. back to the classes, they have cancelled pretty much every class that I enjoyed, and the reason i joined, so no classes for me until i get to a point that i can literally survive hiit, but, based on the amount of people in these classes, they are full by the time i look at them, so that's probably not going to happen either. The locker rooms (women's - haven't seen the mens) is small, uncomfortable, and poorly designed, I think most people, literally use it as a place to put their things, there is 2 small tiny benches, and more than 2 people in there and it genuinely feels uncomfortable. The showers are awful. There is no place to hang a towel, or your bag...just don't join thinking showering after your workout or workout shower, get ready for work is going to be a thing. some do, but not many, because, i believe there intent was they didn't want that. Never got my shirt for joining, not sure why that sticks in my craw, but it does lol. I did the quick start with a trainer, that was a waste of time, there only goal is to sell you training. I just want to know how to use the equipment, i can barely afford this membership, but I am trying, but I was never shown things, just pushed to buy a training package. I just wish that my membership allowed more assistance vs. just access to the business. so, i hope you can see why i gave 4 not 5, it's just how it works for me. I tell people all the time about it, and overall I think it is a great gym, space to workout.

The staff was great, the place was clean, and they had a desig aged belYing section and any belaying array was labeled for the highest you would be allowed to boulder... but it was just lacking in a few areas. For example, the bathroom was small so if more than 1 person needs to change in a bathroom it will be super cramped, and why is there no hand washing area outside of the bathroom? Without one you have to put on your street shoes with your hands covered in chalk to use the bathroom. Also, their gym area is small and their class area is even smaller. Overall I'd go back but it's not first on my list when I want to boulder

TLDR; I do not recommend Club Pilates to anyone athletic with Pilates experience. The level 2…read moreassessment criteria are not taught in level 1 nor 1.5 classes at this studio. It is absolutely not worth the price. On a personal note: I felt like this was an experience of age discrimination as I was often the youngest person in class and for some reason someone noted "young, able body tho" on my assessment form after they decided to not recommend me for Level 2. (Most of the assessment form wasn't even completed) Full review: I've been an athlete since childhood, have done barre and other Pilates studios for years. I recently moved to Tacoma and decided to try Club Pilates. I am canceling my membership after giving it an honest effort for three months. I have paid nearly $300 per month for the minimum 3 month membership commitment to have unlimited classes (taking between 3-5 classes/week) for mediocre Pilates workouts. My whole goal for this 3 months was to test up to the level 2 classes in hopes of them being challenging and allow me to actually drop a bead of sweat or feel some sort of challenging exercise. Upon signing up for a three month membership, I asked when I could test for the level 2 classes and was told I wouldn't pass since the instructors "didn't know me." This was my first clue into the cult of Club Pilates; why is this form assessment also based on who you "know"? I believe that testing for form is acceptable to deem admission to higher level classes, but NOT when the form is not explicitly taught in class. The level 2 assessment was quite frankly a joke considering the way level 1 and 1.5 classes are taught. I attended class regularly during my 3-month membership trial with hopes of being approved to start attending level 2 classes. To my dismay, the level 2 assessment was full of questions relating to anatomical jargon that is never explicitly discussed in any of the class formats I've taken (Reformer Flow, Control, Cardio Sculpt). I am always open to form-correction, but hardly received any in all the classes I took. I would not recommend Club Pilates to anyone unless they are looking for very leisurely body movement, whether due to older age or mobility issues. Having lived in San Diego, Durham, and Seattle, I have found MUCH better Pilates studios than this one. So far in Tacoma I have found La Maison Pilates which is 10x better in terms of difficulty and they still emphasize form with smaller class sizes. It's a bit more expensive but actually worth the money.

I've been going here for a few months and love it! Not only are the instructors great, but the…read morepeople are super friendly as well. You'll start to see the same people in your classes if you go at the same times/days, but I like to try to mix it up and go to a bunch of different ones if possible! One of the instructors, Nora, recently started a book club which has been a lot of fun and they do cool events and sometimes partner with local businesses as well. I think *all* of the instructors do occasional theme nights too like Beyoncé music, Monday night football, 80s week, etc which makes it fun because you know what kind of vibe you'll be coming in for! There's different types of classes, different levels, and the instructors have different vibes. Whatever work schedule you have you can usually get into a class per day! I liked how their intro class walks you through a lot of the different things you will be doing. It took us a handful (or more lol) of classes to finally get the Pilates lingo down so don't feel discouraged if you're having to look around your first couple of times to see what others are doing. The instructors will help too if they see you looking confused! (A few photos of the studio with trying to not get anyone else in them)

I've been with I love kickboxing for about 6 months before starting the #6WeekChallange. I…read moreoriginally joined the club to get ready for my military PT test. I hate running, so I had to get my cardio up. (I ended up doing really well, btw.) I'm pretty active (besides running, lol), I have been doing a lot of strength/weight training and I eat fairly healthy. I've was gaining weight (muscle mass) but not losing any body fat. So I decided to start the #6WeekChallenge to kick my butt in gear. It was definitely a challenge. Adjusting to the meal plan the first week was difficult; I was hungry about 99% of the week, but I lost 3lbs and 2% BF that week. The second week, I had no changes in my results, and I was extremely frustrated. (There were a few weeks where I didn't have any changes. ) After talking with the instructors, I adjusted my meal plan a bit to help out. By the 3rd-4th week, I still wasn't seeing the results I wanted, so I talked to some of my fitness friends for additional tips and I had to adjust my meals again. And because I wasn't eating very few carbs, I was unable to sustain my strength workout with weights, I just ended up doing a lot of body weight workouts and adding in more cardio (besides the 3-4 kickboxing classes per week). But I ended up losing 14 lbs and almost 8% body fat!! I was weak, tired, and hungry most of the 6 weeks and there were many moments I wanted to quit and just go eat a Cinnabon, but I'm glad I kept to it and am extremely proud of my results. Although, I know some of the weight I lost was muscle mass. Rather than recommending whether or not to join the club or the 6 week challenge, I'll state my pros and cons. Pros: 1. The instructors are AMAZING. They are very helpful and patient. And the push you when you THINK you can't or just don't want to do the work. 2. The other members/challengers are awesome. They are very encouraging, share tips, and are willing to be an accountability partner whenever asked. 3. Class times are accommodating, for the most part. There are classes later in the evening on most days, for those of us who work during the day. Cons: 1. The club and the challenge are really expansive, even with a military and member discount. 2. The club itself (Tacoma anyways) smells like stinky feet. (Until you get used to it.) 3. The punching bags are well used, it would be nice if they were updated. 4. Challenge specific; if you are fairly fit and don't really have the weight/body fat to lose, it's really difficult to be successful without doing additional things aside of the challenge itself.

Pros: friendly snd encouraging staff, modify things for new people, excellent full body work out Cons: high pressure sales pitch, and it's too expensive and not a flexible membership. $125/month and sign up for a year. If they had a punch card or a month to month - it would be much more doable. But if you aren't working out 3x a week every month. It's just too expensive for what you're getting. If you weren't committing to a year up front - it would be better. If they had a 10 punch card option- that would be helpful- but I also don't want to pay for 100 punches at once. They need more flexible membership types.
