Reviews
GoogleI’ve been to many classes here and always enjoy the experience. All of the instructors are kind, motivating, and skilled. Highly recommend. Editing review: they have an odd policy of only opening the door 5-10 minutes before class. This has become an issue in the winter months (waiting outside in the cold) as well as when I need to change from my work clothes, as they only have one bathroom and one changing room. I wish they would arrive and open the door at least 15 minutes before class, as do all other studios.
Loved my first class with Sara! She was supportive and reassuring all throughout class. I will definitely be coming back. PS I’m not understanding some of the bad reviews here, on their site they state that grippy socks are required and also most Pilates classes require them, so come prepared. I am also Asian and was in a class with 2 other Asian people and did not feel discriminated against. Could have been the teacher too - Sara is great!
If you are an introvert who is always embarrassed by your stiff, uncoordinated body, I think this Pilates studio is one for you. Bright window, no loud background music, timely correction from the teacher, encouraging vibe without those super hyper non-stop pep talks. Granted that I only took one class with Sarami Soler, but I like the vibe and this exercise already. Throughout the entire 50 minutes, I felt very calming, intentional, and focused. Not overwhelmed and overstimulated (both physically and mentally). I have always been looking for a place and an exercise where I can take my time, one repetition at a time, to build my core strength to correct my posture due to sitting in from of a computer all day. If you are intimated by doing physical exercise in a public/shared space and you need patience and time to build up your muscle one repetition at a time, I think this is the right place.
I could not rave about this place more! I originally tried Pilates back in April 2023 at Pump Pilates rePurposed thinking I would try out a few studios before settling into a membership. However, within 4 months, I could not see myself at another studio. The instructors are so personal and attentive during each 50-minute group class that it truly feels like a private session. I was truly a beginner (never took a workout class in my life!) and each instructor was so patient with my experience level. What gave me some comfort was that these instructors are not new to Pilates; many have been certified instructors for 20+ years, such as Malene and Sabrina. Additionally, I found that the personalized support and appreciation for form is consistent throughout all the instructors' classes, so you really can't go wrong when you sign up for a class. Even as a more seasoned Pilates student, I appreciate the cues and instruction around form throughout class to avoid injury and focus on proper form as this makes the workout more effective.
I enjoy the Pump Pilates classes and feel challenged every time I take a class. Each instructor is kind and patient while helping me get stronger. I appreciate the correction of my form and how they have helped me build my strength. I could barely hold a plank when I first started at Pump and now I can do all the planks and so many more exercises. I always leave the class feeling accomplished and looking forward to taking my next class.
