I've been coming to Bourne Pilates for a few months for a private 30-minute session as I try to recover from bilateral knee injuries. The facility is great - quiet, clean, and incredibly welcoming. I've only worked with one instructor - Taylor - and she has been absolutely amazing! I am so much stronger and feel so much better overall, and I have never left a session where my knee injuries were exacerbated (which did happen when I tried pilates elsewhere before finding this studio). I highly recommend Taylor and Bourne Pilates!!

My experience at Bourne Pilates has been amazing. I was completely new to Pilates a year ago and April Ruffner introduced me to Pilates in private sessions before I attended a group class. April is nurturing, kind, smart, thoughtful, and completely non- judgmental. She made me feel welcomed and encouraged, which resulted in me looking forward to every class. Book a session at Bourne- you won't regret it!

I have been doing Pilates with April for 9 years and followed her to Bourne Pilates. She has transformed the energy in the studio to a warm and positive space. The studio itself is clean, serene and inviting. April is without a doubt the heart and soul of the studio. Her expertise, passion, and personalized approach to instruction makes each session challenging and worthwhile.
April is always attentive, offering modifications and adjustments to ensure that I and everyone else feels comfortable and confident.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Bourne Pilates to anyone seeking a worthwhile Pilates workout.

I love going to Bourne Pilates! I have taken classes and private sessions since well before the pandemic and benefited from the experience of more than six instructors. I have always been pleased with the services and communication. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient. They show clients are valued by doing the difficult job of adjusting classes and sessions to fit the varied needs and expectations. April Ruffner has done the amazing job of pushing the studio forward after the pandemic. Under her direction, Bourne has expanded services and made additional improvements. I can't wait for my next class with Bourne!

I cannot put into words how wonderful April and her studio are. I was 6 weeks postpartum with a wedding 4 months out.

April worked with me gradually building up my strength, core, mobility and not to mention feeling amazing on my wedding day.
The best part is she let me bring my baby to every class which helped me more than she knew.

April is one of the kindest, most patient, and most personable people I’ve ever met. I'm so grateful for all she has done for me. All her hard work and effort to each client does not go unnoticed!

Bourne Pilates is a warm and inviting Pilates studio with wonderful instructors. I love each and every group class that I go Karen and April are excellent instructors with so much knowledge and education. I love their unique teaching styles. Before I went to Pilates, I used to have back pain. Now, my abs are much stronger and my back pain is gone. The studio itself is very clean and pleasant. April is a great business owner. She is very personable and cares for every client she has.

Bourne Pilates, in the Claremont/Upland area, was a special studio when Julia Bourne was the owner. She was attentive to her clients, offered a variety of classes and had qualified instructors to guide students to be the best versions of themselves. The environment was welcoming and she was building a beautiful legacy. RIP Julia.

Unfortunately, the new owner, April Ruffer, has systematically destroyed the legacy Julia was building. The majority of the instructors either chose to leave or were pushed out as a result of Ms. Ruffner’s management style. She does not make an effort to connect with the clients and has taken our continued patronage for granted.

Imagine my surprise, after being a client of the studio since January of 2014, receiving a text that my instructor will no longer be at the studio and to expect a refund of my remaining sessions. So much for valuing me as a client and not having the decency to tell me in person or have a real conversation over the phone. Bourne Pilates is definitely a studio you should NOT patronize!

Recently, I tore my ACL playing tennis and rehabbed it through physical therapy. My physical therapist also recommended Pilates after finishing therapy. When I asked around my neighborhood, several people recommended Bourne Pilates so I went in and took advantage of a new client rates deal they were offering. My private sessions were with April who I found to be very knowledgeable regarding my injury and how to overcome it. The space was beautiful and fully equipped. I always leave feeling energized from the progress I've made.

On my initial contact with Julia she was pleasant and informative, the web site offers consistant information with what Julia shared in our conversation, I wanted to try a class right away and did on Wednesday, I am a beginner this was my first pilates experience and I am looking forward to going back next week for two classes, my workout was challenging but doable and encouraging. The studio is a clean welcoming environment in a peaceful area and my instuctor Krystal is very clear on her instructions, corrections and encouragment. Both Julia and Krystal have great personalities it was a pleasure to be in their company. I encourage you to visit Bourne Pilates!

Julia is an excellent pilates instructor! I take a group class (four people) and she is so skilled that she knows exactly how to accommodate each of our little ailments (weak knees, back, etc.). We get an excellent work out in a wonderful environment! The work out is always challenging but safe. My agility, balance, posture, and overall stamina has greatly improved since working with Julia.
