This is my favorite Citizen Pilates location. I usually go to the Spring Branch location for reformer fitness because it’s closer. However, that location doesn’t offer jumpboard cardio classes- so I go out of my way to do jumpboard here because they’re so much fun! CP in general is just a great studio, no matter which location. The instructors are so thoughtful and they always remember your name/call you by your name during class. They even email you after you’ve taken an instructors class for the first time! I have not been to a studio with that much attention to detail (especially at the level they’re at). It’s definitely much appreciated. They got me into reformer Pilates because of their inclusive approach to it and they make it so accessible!

I always love coming here. I’ve always done Lauren K’s class and she is absolutely amazing. She modifies exercises for those of us (me) who are a little less comfortable, has amazing music, never makes me feel judged for not always being a star student, and I always leave feeling like a got a great workout in. So thankful this instructor is helping this mama get her grove back!

I joined CP 3 months ago and it has mentally and physically impacted me in the most positive ways. I struggled with chronic pain for the last year and even though class is still somewhat demanding for me, some of the instructors really make a huge difference in class. I want to personally thank Lauren K. You are an amazing instructor with a lot of patience! Thanks to the owner and all the team for offering this experience to me!

If you care where your money goes, read this before joining.

I canceled my membership after noticing Citizen Pilates’ Instagram followed both Donald Trump and RFK Jr., while not following anyone from the opposing side. For me, this was about values, not politics. I choose not to support businesses that appear to align with morals I don’t share.

I emailed Alex, who I had previously contacted about my membership, to cancel. I’ve only canceled one other membership before, and it was done through email, so I assumed that’s how it would work here, especially from a business that claims to value customer service. Instead, I received two lengthy, condescending emails from the owner, Jess Schindler. Only after these emails was I finally told how to cancel.

In those messages, she wrote:

“If combing through our ‘following’ list is now part of the job description, I thank you for taking that task off my plate.”

“I hope you’re applying this same level of scrutiny to every business you support because what Citizen stands for is abundantly clear.”

“If that’s not the story you chose to see, then perhaps this was never the right fit.”

The tone came across as dismissive rather than respectful of my perspective. She also CC’d multiple other instructors on her response, which felt unnecessary, unprofessional, and, in context, came across as an attempt to single me out rather than resolve the concern privately. If shared values matter to you, I’d suggest considering this experience before deciding where to train.

Can’t stress the welcoming experience here enough! Megan was my first instructor and she has been very helpful and accommodating. She explains in detail and never makes anyone feel like an outcast. Her ability to help others while instructing the class is awesome and the perfect skill to have as an instructor. I am 5 classes in and I’m hooked! While the classes are challenging, it only gets better and more fun as you feel your body getting stronger. Don’t feel intimidated as we all started at square one. The reformers are in perfectly new shape and are so great to work on.

I have recently joined Citizen Pilates and have had a wonderful experience! I was very hesitant to try pilates, but the instructors have made me feel extremely welcome & have been very accommodating to me as a beginner. Nailah was my first instructor & her enthusiasm/kindness made me excited to come back. One of my favorite aspects is the small class sizes. Highly recommend!

Today was my first time at Citizen, and I absolutely loved it here!! My instructor was Lauren and she was very encouraging and had such great energy throughout the entire class. The space was welcoming and I felt at ease the entire time, despite my initial nerves since I’m a beginner. The classes are small, which is something that I also really enjoyed, compared to other studios that I’ve been to. I’ll definitely be coming back as I start to incorporate reformer Pilates into my exercise regime!

I have taken 5 classes so far at Citizen Pilates and I have enjoyed every single one. I am a physical therapist so it’s extremely important to me that form is a primary focus during group classes. Citizen Pilates definitely meets that standard! The instructors are very knowledgeable and are always watching to correct form and give modifications when needed. Pilates was something I always wanted to try and I’m so glad I did. I would highly recommend Citizen Pilates!

Have attended 5 or 6 classes at the Garden Oaks Citizen Pilates. All the instructors are very kind and encouraging, and they recognize and greet you when you walk in. Lots of classes make it easy to find a convenient time, although you need to schedule a week in advance or longer for more popular classes. They are happy to tailor instruction to all abilites, too.

I use to think 45 minutes was a bit too short for a pilates class. I’ve taken yoga, dance, and just about every class I could take. I have to say this pilates studio is a different type of class. The movements are all controlled and great for those who want more body awareness and core strength. The classes are small so you get the guidance you need. It’s a great studio. Each teacher is different but all are kind and welcoming.

Absolutely love the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere of this studio! From the moment I walk in, the front desk associate, Jaymie, sets the tone with her warm welcome and infectious energy, making me feel right at home. The studio exudes a delightful blend of fun, support, and cleanliness that makes every visit a joy. Personally, I can't get enough of Caroline's classes – they're a definite highlight. However, it's worth noting that all the instructors are truly spectacular, ensuring a consistently high-quality experience.

What sets this studio apart are the thoughtful touches that elevate the overall experience. The attention to detail is evident, from the carefully curated ambiance to the well-stocked amenities. I particularly appreciate the thoughtful provision of essentials in the bathrooms – hair ties, dry shampoo, deodorant, and tampons. It's these little details that make the studio stand out, showing a genuine commitment to creating a comfortable and supportive space for all. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a fitness environment that goes above and beyond!

I was specifically looking for a beginners Pilates class as I have never tried it before and Citizen’s Reformer Fitness 101 was perfect! They walked me through the machine in the first couple of classes and at the end of the class, always helps me understand and correct any posture issues or exercises I struggled with. The class size is small and I appreciate that there is more individual attention. Instructions are clear and instructors well trained! You leave feeling much better than when you come in and that is what has made me show up consistently! Highly recommend.

As advertised, the studio is clean, the instructors welcoming and a bonus, you’ll feel “good sore” the next day. Also, every instructor included “feet in straps” exercises, which means a thorough workout in my book!

I really love Citizen Pilates. I started doing pilates about 4 months ago and have tried several studios around the Houston area. Each of them have their own unique 'flavor' - some are more traditional, some are more fun and upbeat with music pumping - Citizen is what I would consider a good mix of both. I leave feeling like I got a great workout but that it was also really enjoyable. Every instructor I've had at Citizen has been personable, kind, and patient. It's a great studio to start at as a beginner if you're new to reformer pilates, and there are always add-ons to make the moves more challenging if you've been into pilates for a while. The studio locations are great, and I'm happy I found them! Would definitely recommend trying out Citizen (their intro studio pack is a good $ deal) if you haven't yet!

I’ve been to 5 classes so far and I’ve enjoyed my experience so far. I’m new to Pilates and had been going to another studio in Bellaire. I recently moved to Spring Branch and was looking for studios near me. I came across Citizens Pilates and decided to try the new membership package. I’ve been to both the Heights and Garden Oaks location. I’ve taken classes with different instructors and had a great class with them. The only class I didn’t particularly enjoy was an evening class at the Heights. I don’t remember the instructors name but when I walked in I wasn’t greeted and I was the only in the studio. The class was not very challenging and I didn’t feel as though I had done a workout. Majority of the classes I’ve been to, my body feels like I’ve done an intense full body workout which I enjoy because then I know Pilates is working. The pricing is a bit expensive but it’s worth trying and majority of the instructors are super nice and really helpful if you’re a beginner like me.

I am NOT a group class person -- I've tried them all before and they're just not for me. But I feel differently at Citizen Pilates.

There are options for every level of experience, and I find the studios clean and conducive to a relaxing (yet still strenuous!) work out. The few times I've had to reschedule, the staff is super accommodating. I look forward to weekly Pilates, when before, I DREADED trying anything that wasn't straight-up cardio.

Citizen Pilates in the Heights' instructors, Alicia and Laura (the ones from whom I've taken a class thus far) are encouraging, helpful, and will push you as far as you're safely able to go, but no further. They both are upbeat and know their stuff. The studio is clean and pleasant, and the background music just loud enough, but not so loud that you can't hear the instructions for each move. I've been to five lessons and felt recharged after each one. This place is a keeper.

Best Pilates in town. I used to be a Classpass member but this was my favorite spot so I decided to become a full time member. They create a welcoming environment and all of the instructors are great.

I love their jumpboard cardio which is equivalent to running and jumping but better for your joints. The class is formatted into 3 circuits with cardio and strength within each circuit. The music is upbeat and instructors keep you engaged. It's more challenging than it looks. Definitely recommend everyone try it if you're looking for more of a cardio-like workout on the reformer.

I’ve been teaching at Citizen Pilates for going on 5 years now! I took Pilates once at a studio prior to teaching here and hated it. The concept here is truly perfect for you. Each class is original and has built in options for advanced movements or more moderate/modified movements. Some clients love our 45 minute stretch classes while others attend our cardio classes weekly! Every now and then I drag the hubby along to our Reformer fitness classes and he still leaves smiling but with a sweat!

As a beginner, i can truly say I have enjoyed every class at citizen. The instructors always made me feel welcome, and i never felt bad about not knowing what to do. They were always accommodating and providing alternative exercises for beginners, intermediates, and advanced members. Really glad I became a member.

Doctor recommended that I start Pilates and I was on the hunt for the best studio and Citizen's is pretty great! I first strated with the Reformer 101 classes (I'd never done Pilates before) and after three classes "graduated" to the regular Reformer Fitness class. Very happy with how things are going! If you are new like me, Citizens is a great place to start. Booking online is easy and plenty of offerings.

I absolutely love Citizen Pilates. I am 5 classes in and already feel that I am reaping the benefits - physical and mental. I look forward to seeing my reformer Pilates instructor, Kari, each week - she makes a new and challenging experience enjoyable. I was nervous as I am plus sized and a novice to the Pilates world but trust me it’s doable - I’ve learned to listen to my body. I feel comfortable each week I walk into the studio due to its inviting atmosphere and amazing vibe! for anyone wanting to try something new and step out of their comfort zone, DO IT.

I cannot say enough good things about Citizen Pilates! When I first moved to Houston in 2017, I eagerly searched for a Pilates studio but found myself feeling out of place or uncomfortable in most studios. It wasn’t until taking a class at Citizen Pilates that I truly felt welcomed. Citizen instantly became a second home with friendly staff and a warm, supportive atmosphere. I've been taking classes at Citizen Pilates for over five years and even became an instructor, which I've been doing for nearly three years. Citizen's custom reformers are my favorite in the city, and Citizen's new location in Garden Oaks is absolutely beautiful.

I’ve taken over 600 classes at Citizen Pilates’ Heights and Garden Oaks locations. When I started, I had a lot of lower back issues, and I could only manage 2 classes a week. As I continued working out there, I kept ramping up my workouts. It has been a few years now, and my core is so much stronger. The studios are clean and well set up. The instructors are friendly and welcoming. They will give you great tips if you are a beginner or dealing with injuries, and they also offer up ways to challenge yourself if you’re more experienced.

Crazy to realize that the first class I ever came to was January 2016! 6 years and 2 new studios later, Citizen pilates is STILL and the ONLY place I continue to come to. As someone that finds it hard to commit to a work out, CP has truly allowed me to become more confident in my fitness and health goals. All their instructors are well trained, highly skilled and extremely supportive. Routines are never the same, the music is always good and their instructors are always positive and enthusiastic. I love the small class sizes, which allow for a more personal experience with the instructors. Their focus on community and their culture of inclusion that they have created is what really makes them stand out compared to other studios. ❤️

I started taking classes at Citizens to bolster and mix up my existing workout routine and add some additional challenge and further develop my core strength. It has been a FANTASTIC addition. I left this morning and my muscles were still shaking. The atmosphere and vibe of the studio is so welcoming and upbeat. I love that they play music during the classes, which some Pilates studios don't do. Every class that I have been to challenges me in a different way, but ALL the classes are designed that you can start as a beginner, intermediate, or ratchet up the challenge; so many add ons and modifications during an exercise. I am relatively fit, and the add ons and modifications have had me having to take a second to regroup my muscles from time to time, which is perfect and exactly what you want from a class you are paying for. The instructors have been fantastic. I go in the mornings twice a week, and it is an amazing start to my day.

With 300 + classes under my belt, Citizen Pilates is still my favorite Pilates studio in Houston. And the new Garden Oaks studio is a nice addition to the locations around town. The studios still have certain Covid precautions in place and are always extremely clean and well maintained. While I have favorite instructors and classes that I frequent, all the instructors are well trained and knowledgeable, and the class atmosphere is always fun and light. The reformers are custom made for Citizen Pilates, and once you try their reformers most others will feel subpar. If you have been wanting to try Pilates and are intimidated, try Citizen and you will experience why it is highly rated and loved by so many. The Citizen Pilates instructors will orient you during your first session, and you can even take private classes to help you get started.

I have been so pleasantly surprised with Citizens Pilates. I went to my first class on a whim, being taken by the hand by a friend to go try it out with her. I was pleased with how knowledgeable the instructor was, and how varied the different movements and exercises were. It is a full body workout…I don’t know why I was thinking otherwise! But, low impact, which is an import distinction to make. I have been back 5 more times since then, and plan to continue on as it is a great addition to mine and I would think most people’s workout routines.

I have now finished 5 classes and have been to both studios. Every instructor is so friendly and personable. It’s so nice that the small class sizes mean they can know everyone in class and talk to you by name. I’ve mostly taken 101 classes to get used to the form and get comfortable on the machine but even in the all levels classes I feel like the instructions were clear enough that I felt like I could keep up and not feel like an idiot. Each class has a similar format but the moves very slightly to keep class interesting and my brain and muscles engaged. I’m definitely hooked and can’t wait for my next class!
