Pilates near Palo Alto

“Reach is incredible. I was in a pretty fragile place, and I needed something completely different from anything I'd ever done before. I needed something new; something that wouldn't allow me to compare myself to what I used to be able to do, and get more discouraged. I signed up for the three intro classes with Zoe. From the moment I got there, I felt welcomed, listened-to, and encouraged. I've since taken classes with Zoe, Marion, Tracy, and Kathleen. They each have their own style of teaching, and each one is excellent, exceeding every expectation. The atmosphere is professional yet relaxed, and the instruction is second to none. Impeccable all around. This place is truly wonderful; thank you for all you do!!!!“

“I love her classes. They are challenging and always different each time I take her classes. She is a good addition to Club Pilates.“

“Heartcore is the perfect blend of everything you want in a high-intesity pilates workout. They have that "it-factor" with their Instagrammable aesthetic, friendly instructors that keep you inspired, megaformers that make sense, and full-body classes that burn like hell but keep you coming back. Needless to say, I'm ADDICTED to this place. I've visited a lot of the popular pilates spots in the Bay Area and I believe nothing compares to this community. Everyone that works here has this contagious, bubbly energy that you can sense the moment you walk in. The people and culture they've created around this place are seriously unmatched. Couldn't rave enough about their staff! Also, I highly recommend this if you're a lagree lover or die-hard reformer warrior. In my opinion, you get the best of both worlds here! Difficult enough for experienced pilates princesses, but also manageable enough for beginners too. Either way, these classes are humbling but I promise you will love the burn!“

“Leigh Ann clearly loves to teach, and it shows. She makes subtle corrections to my form which makes each move harder, but we can do hard things!
All the instructors are great and patient and helpful to newbies. There are 10 xformers. The place is spotless.“

“Ellese is very friendly and knowledgeable. She is accommodating and I had great PT sessions with her. Thank you, Ellese!“

“I have been a student of Teresa's BoneSmart Pilates for six years, starting with her DVDs and then graduating to her website where I have taken several virtual classes, and then joined the BoneSmart Movement Library and Burst classes on demand. Teresa is a highly qualified, certified instructor who is always emphasizing safety first and provides a wide range of exercises for all ages and abilities, including women with osteoporosis. I love the Library because it offers so many options to choose from - dance, restorative Pilates, one hour or 30 minute sessions, and so much more, and is available anytime I want to exercise. The short "bursts" are easy to work into my daily life as they only take about 10 minutes to do and are always fun.However, the best thing about BoneSmart Pilates is Teresa - she is dedicated to excellence and her classes are always joyful, challenging and never boring. I am so grateful to be part of this very special community.“

“This week, I tried Pilates for the first time at RockSalt Studio in Redwood City. My friend dragged me out of bed at 6:00 AM for this adventure haha. Luckily, finding parking was a breeze since it was early. Walking into the studio, I was blown away by how clean and cozy it was. The instructor gave us a warm welcome, setting the vibe for the whole class. She explained everything in a way that even newbies like me could understand, which was a huge relief. What I loved most was how chill the class was. I didn't feel pressured to keep up with everyone else; I could go at my own pace. The instructor was so positive and helpful, always making sure I was doing the moves right. Plus, the equipment was top-notch and easy to use. After the class, I couldn't wait to come back for more. It was such a great experience, and I'm already looking forward to my next session.“

“I have been taking private Pilates lessons from Maya for a little over a year now and have been more than happy with how it's gone. Maya is extremely professional, organized, and prompt. Her studio is always very clean and she is 100% focused on you during the entire time. To my surprise we have never repeated the same routine in a session which is almost impossible to do:) You can tell she puts a lot of thought and creativity into each session and tailors the sequence of exercises to your needs. I met Maya as I was recovering from a shoulder injury and she was very attentive to any issues or discomfort I had and carefully worked to modify the movements so I was able to gain strength and flexibility within my limitations. I must say that the doing the Pilates with Maya helped build my confidence and ability with regards to my injury. Maya always had a clear plan for our sessions but was always open to my individual requests or suggestions and you could tell her top priority was to check in with how my body was feeling that day. It was also clear to me that she keeps herself current with new and innovative tools and techniques for Pilates, takes classes herself, and also trains other teachers. Maya is a great find and I highly recommend seeking her out. She offers individual and group sessions.“

“I've been studying Pilates with Harriet for over 20 years. The changes I have experienced in my body are dramatic. I have more strength, flexibility and better posture than I did 20 years ago. As well, I have increased my bone density per my latest Dexa scan.Pilates is not just an exercise, but an art form. I had studied with another studio before I found Harriet, and she transformed my practice from good to great. Her body awareness, intuition, and ability to bring a wealth of knowledge from other disciplines into her teaching is unique.Harriet has an uncanny ability to see what I'm doing with my body even through baggy clothing and give me queues to correct my form and activate the right muscles to perform the exercise for the most benefit..Every session is tailored to give me just what I need that day. I can't recommend Harriet enough for anyone who wants to take their Pilates experience to the next level.“

“The best yoga studio!! Great teachers, other clients, and venue Theresa is the best on Friday evenings, but they all r great!!“

“Everything I tried on at Alys Grace today looked amazing! Even my old favorite outfits are fitting comfortably again! People are asking what I'm doing differently. I have not been disappointed since beginning Pilates training starting in November 2023 at this beautiful downtown Los Altos studio. It is the most efficient resistance training that engages the full body, mind and heart. I am continually challenged, never bored, and I see and feel the results. No more back fat, underarm flab, and sleeping through the night! All the instructors and clients are wonderful humans. For the first time in my life, I actually look forward to working out!“

“Excellent staff from check-in to PT session. Very customer focused. I am very satisfied.“

“I just completed six weeks of therapy for a meniscus tear and cartilage worn down to bone on bone. I am in my late 60's. I could not walk without pain. Today I "graduated" from Spencer's care and feel confident that I can again go trail walking and running. Spencer tailored an exercise & care plan to meet my needs and abilities. He is a compassionate, diligent, intelligent PT. I must also add that I have been with PEAK in the past and have received excellent attention and care from everyone. A year ago I was with Alex, post toe surgery, and he worked wonders as well. And the front desk could not be better. PEAK is a class act. The best PT I have found in the past 20+ years. Why go anywhere else?“

“I see Vicki for massage, she is nice and has literally become a friend when i come in that I feel comfortable talking too. She is great at massage and I look forward to every appointment I make with her. Thanks Vicki for being you and making my aching bones not ache . Karen“

“I went to the club Pilates intro class with angel and everything was really easy to follow. I don’t think reformers Pilates is for me as I prefer mat workouts, but it was clean and everyone is nice so it is a good studio to check out if this is your thing“

“I am very happy to work out at Club Pilates San Carlos. The instructors are professional and attentive. The app is easy and convenient to schedule class. I highly recommend it.“

“Amanda is the most amazing instructor who takes time to make each workout interesting and educational so we know how the exercises are building our strength and mobility, etc. She's positive and encouraging for us to each build our strength and power!“

“An Exceptional Experience at Bay Club Redwood Shores I've been a member of the Bay Club for the past two years, and I especially love working out at the Redwood Shores facility. The staff here works incredibly hard and is dedicated to creating a personalized experience for each member. One standout team member is Zahra El-Husseini. She is welcoming and endearing, taking her job seriously and greeting everyone who walks through the door with a warm smile. Whether working the front desk, teaching a class, or helping someone down the hall, Zahra's passion for her work shines through. I typically use the pool facilities to swim a few miles a day. The pool is always clean and refreshing, providing the perfect environment for a good workout. The locker rooms have been updated and are always spotless, and the unique sauna is a fantastic bonus. The other members are mostly friendly, and over the past two years, I've made some great friends here. I also appreciate the club's efforts to foster a positive and enjoyable community. They've recently built a new local kitchen restaurant, which has become a lifesaver after workouts or when bringing food home to the family. Bay Club, thank you for everything you do. Your commitment to excellence has made my fitness journey enjoyable, clean, and fun. I appreciate you!“
