It wasn’t what I hoped it would be. They incorporate little weights and squats and such and I felt like it wasn’t really Pilates- or like only half the class is Pilates. I lift weights and hoped these classes would focus on core and deep 6 hip muscles so when I had to do squats and grab the baby weights for biceps, I was disappointed.

Good to know. Did you ever find a good place for pilates?

If you go for a trial prepare to be called several times a day until you cuss them out. There is no being nice to these people. The parking at the north Bethesda location is awful and I did not like instructor. There are lots of other places with better pricing

12 in each class

How many in each class?

$199 per month for unlimited for me
$169 per month for 8 classes

I think I pay $229 for unlimited.

Can someone post the price of membership?

I joined the Burke location when it opened in August. At first I was not impressed, and I did not feel challenged. They were really getting off the ground and had a learning curve to overcome with the clients. I stuck with it for a bit and tried some of the 1.5 classes. And a variety of instructors. In December I converted to an unlimited membership because I had really come to like it, and they had expanded the classes offered and I found some that were really challenging. The instructor quality and enthusiasm varies a bit but I mostly stick with the ones I like. I go 5-7 days a week now. It’s also super convenient to me and I like that it (mostly) isn’t high impact so I don’t have joint pain that I was having with running and HIIT at home.

I just joined a month ago and for the first time in my life, I am enjoying exercise. I actually look forward to going and feel so good about it. I hate cardio but love the toning, strength training and flexibility I’m getting. Love it.

I went once to see what it was like. I wasn't impressed but that may have just been the instructor I had. She was low energy, and she didn't go around to each of our reformers to adjust the springs according to our ability. She actually said to me afterward that she could tell very early in the class that I was really strong but she didn't have time to come over and adjust my springs. So I didn't get anything close to a workout out of that hour. The classes are pretty big which certainly makes it harder for the instructor to give more personalized attention. I never went back and don't plan to.

Anyone have experience or feedback?
