Body Bar Pilates has been such a blessing for me. I have to stay strong and these classes help me do just that. If there is a class that is more difficult, the instructors are always there to help me modify if needed.

This place is beyond words! I had the fortune of working with an amazing coach, Sarah.
I'v taken the "Classic" class & each time it was challenging in a unique way.

Most instructors (at other places) have 1 "routine" & use it every class...Boooring

Sarah makes every class routine different yet still able to have a full body workout in under an hour!

I work out in the gym 3x a week. I thought I'd breeze right through, but it was challenging as heck! You work out muscles under the muscles that you didn't even know you had!

I've had the pleasure of talking to 2 people at the front desk.
One young lady, I am so sorry I forgot her name, but she & I chatted for quite a while when I first signed up.

The second person is a young man by the name of Brian. He is so sweet & we had a lovely chat today as well.

Finding people for a front desk at any company is very important. Customers don't realize how much the front office staff can really make or break in experience. They are the first
Impression of the company.

I can honestly say that the young woman I mentioned and Brian are the perfect people that represent what true, welcoming & professional attitudes look like.

The lobby is clean & well lit, location is great nestled into a quiet part of a small community, has plenty of parking.

Obviously I can't say enough great things about this location and business.

Shannon Isaacson is just one of the fabulous instructors at BodyBar Pilates Katy! I didn’t realize how much my body needed her Mixed Equipment class until I experienced it firsthand. Every block of the workout challenged my core, balance, flexibility, and strength — in the best possible way.

Shannon does a phenomenal job with both verbal and physical cueing, ensuring everyone understands proper form and alignment. I especially appreciate how she provides options to either challenge yourself further or dial things back when needed. She truly meets every class participant where they are.

BodyBar Pilates has become my safe space — the place where I can get comfortably uncomfortable and always leave feeling stronger, more confident, and better about myself. Thank you, Shannon, for bringing such energy, encouragement, and expertise to every session!

I really enjoyed Bodybar Katy — the workouts and instructors are excellent. When Kayla was the manager, everything was smooth, fair, and responsive.

Unfortunately, my experience with the new manager was disappointing. Communication was poor, policies were changed without notice, and a simple refund issue took weeks of follow-ups — even the front desk had to remind her to reply. The refund was finally processed much later, despite her saying it was already done.

Great instructors and classes, but management now feels unorganized and unhelpful. Expected a better experience for the amount members pay.

Edit:

Thank you for your response. I’d like to clarify that several points in your message are inaccurate and can be verified with documentation.

The communication delays were not limited to weekends or refund discussions. The front desk staff followed up with the manager multiple times because I hadn’t received replies to my emails — I have screenshots and email timestamps that confirm this. My concern has always been the lack of accountability and transparency, not the policies themselves.

There was a change in how same-day class changes were handled, but members were never informed of this in writing, which understandably caused confusion. To clarify, the instructors’ concerns have not been about policy changes — they’ve expressed frustration with the manager’s behavior and communication style, which aligns with the difficulties I experienced.

Additionally, the first $15 refund was clearly stated by the manager in writing as a one-time courtesy, not a grace adjustment. Reclassifying it later contradicts her own message. The $20 refund was processed only recently, despite earlier claims that “all refunds were completed.” I have copies of the relevant emails confirming this timeline.

I’m sharing this to ensure the record reflects the facts accurately. My feedback has always been constructive — I’ve valued the instructors and the workouts — but the response I received has been defensive and inconsistent with the documented correspondence.

I can share the screenshots and emails either by forwarding them to you or posting them here, if needed, for verification.

Best regards,
Ramya Vaidyanathan

Be careful with this place. I told them I wanted to cancel my membership, but they kept charging my card even though I didn’t receive any services. I’ve already disputed the charges with my bank.
It doesn’t matter what their policy says — if you’re charged without receiving any service, your bank will protect you. That kind of charge is considered unauthorized or fraudulent. I recommend anyone who has the same issue to contact your bank right away and dispute it.

Body Bar instructors are THE BEST! They push us to get uncomfortable in the best way while providing instructions and demonstrations that are always spot on helping us to be super successful. Pilates has made me incredibly strong, flexible and visibly muscle toned. The staff is always welcoming and it is evident everyone there loves being there and cares for the members. It is an inclusive environment with well communicated guidelines such as the 3 minute rule (gotta be on time for your own safety so if more than 3 min late you cant go in), if you sign up for a class and don't go there’s a $20 fee, 30 day written notice for cancellation, and if you sign up with a promo you have to do at least 3 months. The app makes it super easy to sign up for classes and stay on track with your fitness goals. I have been a member for almost 2 years and this has been the greatest decision for my well-being. I highly recommend pilates and especially Body Bar!!!

I have membership with them since the end of 2024. At first they inform me about their 3 months commitment, I’m fine with that. Everything started great, instructors is good. But then I have a long vacation out of the country in May 2025, I wish to freeze my membership from May, 2025 to July 2025 first to see how eveything goes, they charge $30/month to freeze my account. I’m ok with that. But then I cannot go back to the states due to personal reasons. I called them to cancel my membership in May 2025 before I went for that trip. They said I have to pay the full payment to cancel because that’s their policy which they never inform that when I sign up. That’s is the lession for me ASK CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO SIGN UP. I already explain to them that I no longer using their service since April 29th, 2025 why I have to pay the full payment for 1 month while I’m not able to use the service that I’m paying and want my money back. I let them charge the frozen membership fee even I didn’t use their service. Then today they charge me the full payment for 1 month I have to call them and recive an answer that they don’t recieve any cancellation request from me and they tell me I should write them an email to inform that which no one tell me to do when I called in May. They still charge me even I stated clearly in the email that I no longer able to use their service. They already charged me so when I say I want to cancel they do it right away. I’m not sure are they understand the situation or they pretend to not understanding

Sydney, the front desk girl, assured me over the phone that she wouldn’t mark me absent when I informed her I would be five minutes late. However, she deliberately withheld the crucial detail that she wouldn’t allow me in. I drove all the way here, only to be denied entry—not because of the tardiness, but because of her failure to communicate the full truth.

What makes this even worse is the blatant discrimination. I witnessed her letting other women in despite them being late last week. yet I was singled out and denied access for this time.This is unacceptable, unfair, and unprofessional. I refuse to support an establishment that tolerates such biased treatment. Consider my membership canceled.

Edit- I am not the only one who has noticed discrimination issue, and as the owner, I believe it is crucial that you address it properly. Based on your response, I do not have confidence that your employees will be well-trained in the future.

You have security footage available—if you genuinely believe my concerns are unfounded, I urge you to review the recordings from the past week. Just recently, two ladies arrived over three minutes late, yet the front desk allowed them in. This highlights the inconsistency in how rules are enforced.

Additionally, I have sent you two emails, one of which included a request for membership cancellation, yet I have not received any response. I also called twice yesterday before your business closed and still received no reply.

Since I have already paid for this month’s membership and you have agreed to cancel my membership, please ensure that I receive a refund for this payment. Additionally, I want to make sure this does not happen like last time when my account was charged twice.

While I was with them, it was relatively good. But I recently cancelled my subscription via emailing the manager. She agreed to cancel my subscription yet I still got charged for 2 months later. I kept emailing the manager to ask why they charged me even though I cancelled and I asked for a refund and my money back but the manager ghosted me!

I was excited to see a new Pilates studio open in the Katy area. I waited for them to get established and in a groove before I booked my first class, which I finally took this past Sunday. I saw a same day opening for a reformer class, so I booked a single class for $35 and, heeding the warning of other reviewers, arrived 20 minutes early.

The front desk personnel checked me in and I informed her that is was my first time visiting their studio. She asked if I had grip socks (yes) and if I have taken a reformer class before (yes). She then had me fill out a release form and will introduce me to the instructor when the class starts. What left an acidic taste in my mouth me was, despite me informing her it was my first visit, they pushed membership right off the bat.

Upon walking in, I was bummed there is only a mirror on one side, so if you are in the back row, it may be a struggle to look and see if your form is on point, and then for half the class we are facing away from the mirror, so we have to fly by feel.

The class overall was just kinda... average; I walked away feeling like I just did an active recovery day. I am used to an instructor, especially with such a large class size, providing not only how to decrease intensity (which Sarah did), but also increase intensity (which Sarah did for one movement) to meet the various needs of the larger group. Sarah was super sweet and I think I just was a mismatch for this studio.

The studio texted me this morning to see if they could sign me up for a membership, I voiced my concern about lack of intensity level and that the studio is probably a mismatch for me. I think it solidified it for me that they are a studio more geared for people just starting their fitness journey when they texted back essentially a "sorry to hear, good luck with your fitness journey", which signals to me that they do not have progressively difficult classes.

I would give a 0 if I can!! The instructor was not bad for the trial class they offered, but the front staff deserves nothing but a 0 star since they allow me to schedule the day I enroll and classes / schedule for next two weeks is fully booked!! I asked to charge my card right away but give me a later week start so that I am given a fair chance to book my classes and not paying for a week or 10 days not Ending up in a class at all !! I understand it’s a business, but should not illogical !! You want people to pay for initial week or 10 days with no ability to book classes due to schedules being packed! I also tried ro ask if they have the ability in the back end to give me classes for the first week, I can still sign up like they did for the trial class .. but no!! They can’t do that…. Like wait ..!!!!!!

I love that this Pilates studio offers multiple classes throughout the day, starting as early as 5am in the morning. However, I strongly recommend that everyone ask about their strict penalty policies on being late for classes, canceling classes, and cancelling memberships. Personally, I found the lack of explanation during my re-enrollment, after a year-long break, frustrating. Clear communication about these policies in person would significantly improve the customer experience.

Changing my review to one star because I truly enjoyed this studio and the instructor Dineka which made this place feel very inclusive and inviting for people of color. It saddens me that this instructor was treated so poorly by this establishment.

I will not be going back here and look forward to see where Dineka instructs next because she was the best thing that this place had.

I started coming to Body Bar Pilates in May 2024, and it has completely reignited my passion for exercising! I’ve avoided the gym for a while due to the overwhelming “gym culture,” but Body Bar Pilates offers a refreshing alternative. The studio is full of positive, feminine energy, creating a welcoming and empowering atmosphere.

All the instructors are highly knowledgeable, kind, and approachable, which makes every class enjoyable and motivating. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, they guide you through the movements with care and expertise.

I highly recommend Pilates at Body Bar to anyone—female or male—looking for a supportive and uplifting environment to stay fit and healthy. It’s been an amazing experience for me, and I’m so grateful I found this studio!

Disappointed by Lack of Diversity and Poor Leadership

I recently visited this Pilates studio and was extremely disappointed with the overall experience, particularly with the lack of diversity and inclusion among the instructors and staff. It was evident that the studio does not prioritize representing a variety of backgrounds, which is essential for fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment. During an event I witnessed management turn people, primarily people of color around for being a few minutes behind, when there was not written communication expressing these regulations.

The situation was made worse by my interactions with the manager, Nichole or Nikki. Her demeanor was unprofessional and dismissive, especially when I brought up my concerns about potential events to foster more diversity. Instead of addressing the issue thoughtfully, she seemed unwilling to acknowledge the importance of inclusivity or make meaningful changes.

For a wellness space that should make everyone feel welcome and supported, this studio fell far short. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works toward creating a more inclusive and representative environment. Until then, I cannot recommend this studio to anyone seeking a space that values diversity and respect.

I am a 46-year-old woman who, after losing a significant amount of weight in my forties, was looking for an effective way to tone my body. My goal was to shape my legs, arms, and glutes without relying on heavy weights at the gym. I needed something that would also help with my posture and balance. Over time, I began to notice signs of muscle loss and firmness: cellulite on my legs and even my arms, flabbiness on my inner thighs, and a more hunched posture. Pilates quickly became my best option since the stretching, balance, and flexibility it offers are essential for maintaining a strong posture and a healthy back.

Today, after 50 classes, I can say that Body Bar Pilates has exceeded my expectations. The place is always clean, and the instructors are outstanding. I’ve had the opportunity to take classes with seven different instructors, and while I have my favorites, they are all excellent: professional, motivating, and they make the class fly by.

It’s not an easy workout, but what’s impressive is how quickly the body starts to transform in just a few classes. My initial goal was to keep myself disciplined by doing at least three classes a week to help my body adjust to the routine. Now, I’m not only doing the basic "Classic" classes; I can participate in the higher-intensity ones that require more strength and control. I’m able to take on faster and more challenging classes without any issues.

I highly recommend Body Bar Pilates to anyone looking for a workout that transforms not only the body but also the mind and soul. It’s a wonderful way to exercise and see real results!

Soy una mujer de 46 años que, después de perder mucho peso a los cuarenta, estaba buscando una forma efectiva de tonificar mi cuerpo. Quería un ejercicio que me permitiera moldear mis piernas, brazos y glúteos sin recurrir a pesas pesadas en el gimnasio y, además, que cuidara mi postura y balance. Con el tiempo, noté cómo mi cuerpo empezaba a mostrar signos de falta de músculo y firmeza: celulitis en las piernas y hasta en los brazos, flacidez en la entrepierna y una postura cada vez más encorvada. Pilates se convirtió en mi mejor opción, ya que los estiramientos, el balance y la flexibilidad que trabaja son esenciales para mantener una buena postura y una espalda saludable.

Hoy, después de 50 clases, puedo decir que Body Bar Pilates superó mis expectativas. El lugar siempre está limpio, y las instructoras son espectaculares. He tenido la suerte de tomar clases con siete diferentes, y aunque tengo mis favoritas, todas son excelentes: profesionales, motivadoras y logran que la clase pase en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.

No es un ejercicio fácil, pero lo impresionante es cómo el cuerpo comienza a transformarse en pocas clases. Mi meta inicial fue mantener la disciplina haciendo al menos tres clases por semana para que mi cuerpo se acostumbrara. Ahora, ya no solo hago las clases básicas de "Classic"; también participo en las de mayor intensidad, que requieren más fuerza y control. Puedo hacer las clases más rápidas y desafiantes sin problema.

Recomiendo Body Bar Pilates a cualquiera que busque un ejercicio que transforme cuerpo, mente y alma. ¡Es una maravillosa forma de ejercitarse y ver resultados reales!

I signed up for the back to school unlimited classes and I have very much enjoyed my 14 classes so far. Top tier instructors Ashley, Shannon, Dineka to name a few (and I know there are more I have not yet had the pleasure to work out with) as well as their very outgoing and helpful front office staff. If you are looking for a Pilates
Studio that really cares - look no further the Body Bar!

After two knee replacements and rotator cuff surgery I feel as though I am working out with instructors who inspire me to continuois improvement.

I did pilates before then I stopped. My friend Vero Diaz dela vega told me about BodyBar Pilates is great because it strengthens core muscles, improves flexibility, and enhances posture. BodyBar is good for all fitness levels, Pilates builds lean muscle and I like that. And now my 25 yrs.old daughter goes with me now, and I loved it

I’ve been attending this Pilates studio for 14 consecutive days, and I must say, it’s spectacular! The feminine energy here is amazing, and the instructors are incredibly friendly, especially Stacy, Dineka, and Ashley. I love how they’ve guided and treated me in each class, especially knowing that I’m still learning. I also want to give 5 stars to the excellent customer service from Lupe. She is super friendly and polite. Highly recommend this place!

Classes are great and so far Ive no issue with cancelled class because I've always arrived 10 mins before the class starts. The reason for 2 stars was Body Bar just informed me that I have to extend another month of membership even though I've already informed them I was moving to a different town and this location is 45 mins away from my new address. They basically told me I have to endure the drive for another month and a half because of the 30 days notice prior to cancelling membership. I was told I only had to be a member for 3 consecutive months and I can cancel it without paying a fee but today Maria informed me that I have to wait 30 more days before they're able to do so. I only come 4 times a month and 109/month for 4 classes I feel is a bit much. And they're very strict with cancellation within 10 hours. If you do cancel even with a reasonable excuse, you get penalized and they forfeit your class. So I will not be returning for that reason.

Love this place. All of the instructors that I have met have been welcoming, kind, patient, and motivational. I don’t feel pressured - I love that they support us to go at our own pace and remind us to be mindful with not pushing too much & end up injuring ourselves. I did a trial class and fell in love. I wanted to do more. Coming here made me want to get back into working out and being healthy. They make the class fun and push you enough to motivate you but not discourage you. I have a Club Pilates 5 minutes from me that I tried and wasn’t too impressed. I drive 20-25min to come here because of the amazing instructors. Even the ladies in the boutique front are always welcoming and friendly! Highly recommend.

Welp ,
I had signed up for class @8am and when I got there before the class started I was told I can’t take the class because I was supposed to be there 15 minutes before ?? Has this happened to anyone else ? Obviously, if I had known of course I would have been there earlier. I Told the receptionist I had no idea about that and got the smile “it’s ok would you like to reschedule “ lol something to do about safety purposes which is understandable . However ; I double checked my email didn’t receive anything about showing up 15mins earlier . Wow.

I love this Pilates studio! I’ve been doing Pilates for the first time for about 6 weeks now and the classes provide you with such a good workout and helps you with your strength, balance, and flexibility which is what I needed. All the instructors are great but Ashley is my favourite. She is super sweet and I love how she demonstrates the moves and really cares to help you. All of her classes are amazing!!

Bodybar is such a fun way to get your fitness in! The instructors are great and help you get the hang of Pilates. As a first timer, I felt at ease trying something new. Now, I’m hooked!

Update: I love my experience with Bodybar SO much that I've upgraded to the unlimited membership. The instructors are constantly updating their classes to push and challenge us even more. I feel like I've gained a community and I couldn't be more thankful. Shout out to Jay for always jumping right in with any account help. He made it super easy to upgrade and always helps when life happens.

I had signed up for my first class and when I got there 4 minutes before the class started I was turned away away because I was supposed to be there 15 minutes before so they could show me the machines for safety purposes which I understand but I DID NOT receive any email saying that I needed to be there 15 minutes before. The only email I received were for my confirmation and their late policy, hopefully they are better about this in the future so this doesn’t happen to other people who are interested in going there for the first time and being turned away.

Really really horrible experience with unfriendly and unhelpful people at the desk. Signed up for a trial because I was really interested in joining their gym and they told me they “recommend we try to come around 15 minutes or so early” to fill out the waiver and get checked in. It’s about 30 minutes from my house, got stuck in traffic but made the trek over and reached about 5-6 minutes before the class was set to start. (There was no parking when I reached so I had to wAit for someone to leave). When I get inside they tell me that arriving 15 minutes early was mandatory and you can not take the class if you are not there 15 minutes before . A lot of places ask that you arrive early to fill out waivers etc (I filled it out online) but If they have such a strict policy that you will not be allowed in the class they should specify that! I just wasted an hour back and forth. Also they couldn’t get my name right…I corrected them multiple times but they kept calling me shareem… Definitely will not be coming back or recommending this place to anyone. Club Pilates is far more helpful and understanding!

The classes are good except for one instructor. The place is clean but the customer service is not good. It took me 5 months to try to cancel a membership, they almost forced you and in the end you pay the monthly payment… if they know that you cannot use it due to suffering an injury... they should modify their contract in those cases.

I have done weight training for over a decade now but I’m new to pilates! I’m already loving the challenge of using different muscles and moving them in a new way. I use pilates to supplement my weekly exercise. Dineka Young is an awesome instructor!! Highly recommend.

This Pilates studio is my new favorite place! I’ve been a yoggie for some time now but was not getting the Ab/core results I wanted. I’ve heard about Pilates for years and decided to try BodyBar Pilates. I’m a month in and already see changes in my core/abs. The staff and instructors are friendly, and I always leave in an exhilarated state!

I love BodyBar! I’m new to Pilates and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my experience. I started in August 2023. I wanted to wait a month before I gave an honest review:

Pros: The team have been/is extremely supportive, shown great customer service, and just amazing with rapport. I feel like they are family now on my health journey. Non judgmental and truly down to earth! I love the accountability and the genuine warmth you feel every time you’re there. They don’t make you feel like you’re a money sign. They check in with you, celebrate you and your journey! I’ve never had an experience like this before. I love the intimate classes that allows the instructor to focus on everyone and assist you in your form to ensure you’re not wasting your time. All of the staff are amazing with a leader who examples great customer service, shoutout to Jay! He was truly amazing getting me started. My favs are Stacy and Nicole. They will work the hell out of you, but I appreciate them pushing us to really get what we came there for. Maddie, Giselle, and Maria are my girls! Always friendly and encouraging!!

Con: Overall, the facility is clean and packed with essentials you need if you need to freshen up from work for the workout. The only con is that sometimes there’s hair all over some of the equipment. This could be because others are not thoroughly wiping down their station, or an oversight. However, I DON’T think it’s the staff. I’ve only seen this during the PM workouts (6pm or 7pm sessions).

BodyBar keep doing what you are doing because it doesn’t go unnoticed and you’re helping me get fine, FINE!
