I had class scheduled this evening with Pat that I had booked with my mother. This was our first class & not knowing it was an intermediate class, we were advised by Pat in a rude manner to “stop trying to participate” but to watch the other ladies instead. Pat was made aware that we were beginners & that her 6:30pm class did not mention it was intermediate. Do not recommend.

I cannot say anything more positive about the experience I’ve had at club Pilates Braden River. I have only been in classes for about a month. But with that said, the classes are challenging and never the same which makes for a great workout. I especially enjoy Sandra’s classes as she pushes you to do your best and corrects your movements in a gentle manner. I cannot wait for my strength to improve so I can upgrade my membership.

I came to a Pilate class with 6 of my closest friends for my bachelorette party! Originally I booked a mat class for my bridal party- but they canceled a few days before, and I’m so glad they did!! Because Club Pilates Bradenton truly outdid the experience. I had no idea how much they would go above and beyond, but they did. With decor on my reformer, to signage throughout, and mimosas after class! What truly a blessing Shelby the Studio manager made for us and our instructor Alana did for us! We felt so loved and appreciated! Couldn’t recommend more! Especially if you are here on a bachelorette trip!

Absolutely enjoy Club Pilates. I have been a member for just over a year now. I take eight classes a month and with the way my work schedule fluctuates I’ve never had a problem finding classes. Even when I’m wait listed I always get in. I have had the opportunity to take classes from most of the instructors. They all bring something very unique and awesome to their classes. It has bettered my quality of life, lengthening strengthening and learning to breathe. The studio is clean and friendly staff. What are you waiting for? Go take a free intro and get hooked.

According to my experience, it seemed unfair to me that they charged me many months after one canceled in advance according to the policy they have, that is not honest. All the teachers are not friendly and they should not be able to help more. I canceled and they charged me for 3 more months, even every time I went they had an excuse and they didn't know how to do it according to them other than just a person in charge who was never there, I wrote an email that according to them they give me to do it through email they didn't answer either I had to go many times in person without them caring because in the end they said I'm sorry, you have to keep sending the email, how unfair.

I’ve never been much on gyms however, I love Braden River Club Pilates. I have been a member for several years now. The facility is very nice and the instructors are phenomenal. I love my instructors, they are all well trained, challenging, professional and encouraging.
The girls at the front desk are super sweet and friendly as well.

I just recently started going to Club Pilates after being unhappy at another local Pilates studio and I absolutely love the facility and the staff! Everyone is so friendly and I enjoy chatting with the other patrons. Karen is a wonderful instructor and I love all of the instructors I’ve worked with so far!

I've been going here for over two years and my core is stronger than it's ever been. I get a great workout. I recently took Suspend and Center & Balance with Karen and she gives a great class. She really pays attention to what's going on and makes corrections where she sees the need. She creates a workout where it feels like all the major muscles are worked and she gives lots of options.

This place is a scam. Classes are on wait lists for over a week and they continue to sign new members up despite the fact that they cannot use their membership or passes because all the classes are full. Trying to cancel my membership is a real headache as no one is getting back to me. The teachers and staff are lovely, the classes are ok, boring but ok, but the whole business model feels like a scam. Why do you keep signing up new members without mentioning there is no space for them to take classes?!?

The staff are some of the nicest people I’ve met. This place is very welcoming and friendly. I feel very comfortable here. I like how small the classes are and how the instructors walk around to make sure we are doing the exercises correctly.

I cannot say enough positives about Club Pilates at Braden River! I started in January and I knew right away, I loved it!
It is challenging and healing on every level-mentally and physically, inside and out! All the instructors and staff are fabulous…supportive and encouraging. I’m so grateful to have found this community!

New member here, and I am thrilled with Club Pilates! I am past 65 and could feel myself getting weaker and less flexible. Having just finished my 11th class I am already noticing more energy and increasing strength and flexibility. The class instruction is excellent regarding body mechanics and physical health. LOVE the classes with Alana and Sarah!

The teachers are wonderful, but the cooperate folks will squeeze every dime they can out of you and they don’t care about you personally. I got really sick and spent some time in the hospital. I called to freeze my account and was told they would charge me for a full month before they would freeze it. Then, after 3 months, I’m still not well enough to return to classes and they charge me for another full month before they allow me to cancel my membership. They don’t care that I couldn’t use the classes nor did anyone bother to ask how I was feeling or why I was unable to return. I love pilates and hope to return some day, but I will never come back to this studio. When you sign the membership agreement, read every single line and make sure you understand the fine print. They make no exceptions and will charge you as much as they possibly can, because at the end of the day, they don’t care about you as a person. They just want your money.

I absolutely love love love this club! The instructors are clear and concise with their instructions and differentiate levels for all participants. The 1.5 Reformer class provides a wide spectrum of activities from the carriage to the chair to the ring. You will leave with every part of your body shaking! Totally worth it!! So happy I’ve found this place!💕💕

I absolutely love Club Pilates! The variety in classes is great, never the same, and love the strength I’ve developed. All instructors are wonderful, especially love Krystal and Alana’s classes. They are great at pushing you within your limits and always provide individualized recommendations. They both have challenging classes that continue to push me to get better at Pilates. Would love to have them both on the schedule more often :)

My name is Elvi Báez and I want to thank the Club Pilates for their understanding and patience with me. Each teacher has so much dedication to the members and the classes. I don’t think the teachers are aware that I am a breast cancer patient. I received chemo and radiotherapy treatment as a result of this. I have osteoporosis in my hip and problems with three vertebrae in my spine. My doctor recommended Pilates and after about 2 years of practicing it, the results of my bone density and osteoporosis greatly improved! In my opinion, this club is the best therapy for all types of rehabilitation. I am a happier person because everyone at the club feels like family to me. I have felt supported and my “pilates family” has helped me throughout this process so much without even knowing my medical condition. I have so much love for everyone at the club. Thank you so much, you are all such a blessing in my life.

If you have to pause your membership for a couple of months you still have to pay full membership plus a monthly fee!!! I just wanted to pause for a month and they had to charge me😳 but that’s why I want to pause my membership!!! That’s the point why would you charge me??? So I canceled and still had to pay!! You have to give them 30- day notice 🙄

Don't waste your money. They basically teach mat exercises on the Reformer, which you can do at any gym or at home. Every class has bridging, arm & leg circles, the ab series, planks, etc. They're not teaching many of the original Reformer exercises. They are only doing "safe" ones. You won't do any inversions, such as short spine and other very beneficial Pilates moves, which means you also won't advance in your body. You can do all of this on your own and not have to spend $229/month. Go to Winsor Pilates on YouTube and do her mat workout for free and you'll get a much better workout.

As others have stated, if you don't book 2+ weeks out you won't get in a class. Any changes you need to make say a day before will result in you not getting in a class. They also have a terrible waitlist policy. If you are on a waitlist and a spot becomes available, if you cannot make it and need to cancel you will be charged $10 for canceling. I was once charged and never even knew I was off the waitlist. I did not get any notifications through the app. Every place I've ever gone to allows you the option to cancel for no charge and give it to someone else if you cannot make it once the spot opens up.

Overall, the teachers are nice and it could be a good setup. But with the way they teach the method and how they've oversold the place, you will literally throw away over $200 per month. It seems they're just all about the money.

I really enjoyed the classes when I was able to get into the class I wanted. Often classes are filled quickly and if you renewal date is later in month you can’t sign up for classes until after that and the classes are often filled. Be careful that you fully understand agreement when you sign, as I did not and ended up paying for months when I was out of state as I am a snow bird. No give on the clubs end for the contract, which I still don’t think I signed as everything was completed over telephone. Nothing from them in my email about contract and nothing that I returned, but they have a electronic signature from somewhere. I signed up for a 3 month special and got taken advantage of for additional two months

Oh my goodness. I’ve only taken 6 classes and tonight when I walked my dogs I found myself looking straight ahead rather than at the ground. I felt 2 inches taller and my butt felt like it was closer to my tailbone rather than at my knees. I can’t wait to take many more classes. At 60 years old and a former gym rat with the “quarantine 15” hovering contributing to an uncomfortable body shape, I am absolutely thrilled with the changes in my body and my mind. ❤️

Do not go to this location find a different studio I was injured after a class and I notified the manager but they didn’t care and still charged me and when I called about them charging me they were very rude and were not willing to work w me all they care about is money not people!!! I would not ever go to club Pilates again !!!!! I only gave one star because it won’t let me give none so they don’t even deserve that one star !!!!!!!!

I love Pilates but would advise not to join this studio. I had the same experience of not being able to get into classes convenient for me so I cancelled. Even though I received confirmation that my cancellation was accepted and I would no longer be charged, I was charged again in error. I contested the charge, and now they want to bill me for the fees they incurred for their error in billing me!! I even left more than 10 paid classes on my account and they still will not accept responsibility for their billing error. It was a nightmare and its a shame they have no common sense or customer appreciation.

Finally a work out that I love and look forward to going to! I've been a member since February, and taken almost thirty classes so far with three different teachers, and love it all. The women who attend class are so friendly, and the teachers are wonderful. I can't recommend Club Pilates Braden River enough!

Over the past 40 years I've regularly attended a wide variety of group fitness classes including aerobics, mat pilates and yoga. None have offered such a good workout. The instructors are excellent and the staff are very helpful. Unfortunately, as a man, I do not feel welcomed in most of the classes which are predominately attended by women. In the past, I have never had this issue arise even in yoga classes which were always predominately attended just by women.

I paid a monthly membership and I am supposed to get 8 classes. BUT I cannot get in a class. The classes book up about 1 month in advance. Not sure how they can sell classes when you cannot get into one. You can be put on a waitlist, but you get very little notice of the cancellation. And if you do not take the waitlist class you signed up for-you get 1 of your classes taken away.

They Over Sold Memberships: CANNOT GET A CLASS. Too bad. It is a great concept. If you pay a monthly fee and you cannot get a class it is like buying an airline ticket for a flight you can never take! Not a deal
