I think they billed me twice for a "no show fee", everytime I call no one answers the phone, so I need to deal with it though the credit card company now.

My colleague was soo excited to start doing Pilates with her daughters, she is in her 50s and I had never seen her so pumped about anything in the time I’ve known her. She attended two classes and was getting better, almost able to finish an entire class, feeling good about herself, and confident. She said all the girls in the class were hot and younger than her, I could tell she was intimidated by that, but continued to go. Ultimately, after class one day, the instructor came up to her (unbidden) and told her that the class was too advanced for her. My colleague said the lady was nice, and not unkind. However, I’ve never heard of an instructor discouraging anyone from continuing to try. She never acknowledged her progress or told her she would get better. I know this lady would never complain, but it really broke my heart to know that she got deflated from trying when she was doing good. I feel at the very least, management should round their wagons on what the mission is, because it seems like an exercise studio should be inclusive of all fitness levels and never discourage someone when they are trying their best.

I was thrilled when Ritual Reform opened up in SLO - I had been searching for a Pilates-inspired workout that was challenging and did they deliver!
The workout does take a bit of getting used to, but the results are well worth the effort. My favorite part is each set can be modified to your strength level, and is scalable so there's no risk of plateau.
The studio is clean and inviting, and the instructors are all incredible. Each offers their own style and method of teaching while staying true to the Ritual Reform terminology, and I truly take something different from each class.
Keep up the awesome work, team!

I started at Ritual the first day they opened in SLO, and I wasn't sure if it would really be a workout l'd stick with. Long story short, I fell in love with not only the workout but the instructors and a year later I'm still going strong!!
Every instructor has their own way of teaching, and classes are always a little bit different depending on who you go to - which is so refreshing for a workout class.
I've never felt stronger than I do now and it has toned me and more importantly given me confidence that I didn't have for a very long time. It's truly a feel good, kick your butt workout but the instructors always guide you and after coming to a few classes you really hit your groove. I strongly encourage anyone to give it a try if they're thinking about it!!

This studio is one that lacks customer service unlike any gym I have experienced before. When you think of fitness studios you think of a place that values their clients. Well not this one. They have no phone number..and when you attempt to express anything to an instructor they flip it around on you and use words like you’re “attacking” them. This studio cares about making money and nothing else. They care about themselves and not their clients and they will do and say whatever to defend that. The customer service is horrible and they will belittle clients to get what they want. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Support business who do good for their community, NOT ones like this.

Absolutely love this place! It was my very first time ever trying Pilates, and Jen made me feel so comfortable throughout the class. I’ve been twice, and I know It won’t be my last. The music is great, and I love their merch section as well. The overall atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is incredibly supportive. Highly recommend this studio to anyone, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced!

I am about a month into my workout journey and only three classes into Pilates so I’m definitely still a beginner and was pretty intimidated to start. However, the first time I went the instructor made sure to walk me through everything, explain the machine, and let me know I could take breaks or pauses and how to listen to my body. I feel incredibly safe and none judgmental environment from the instructors and also the patrons which is a huge plus for me since I am such a beginner. I’ve gone to three classes and have already signed up for many more because of how inviting and fun these classes are! Beware if you’re new to fitness like me, you’ll be sore for days lol!! (Ask the instructor for a modification if you feel like you’re pushing yourself too hard, that’s what I do and they are so accommodating!)

The SLO location is so nice, and of course the instructors are amazing. I love the different set up from the Templeton Studio and the sock wall is on point! If you want a challenging and rewarding work out and become apart of the best workout community I would highly recommend checking Ritual Reform SLO out!

Absolutely love Ritual Reform Pilates. I feel so strong and finally have some ab strength after having 2 kids. Love how it works every muscle, even the small accessory muscles I normally don’t get to in my garage gym. Highly recommend! Worth every penny!

I went to ritual a few days ago for my First reformer Pilates class ever, and the teacher was super helpful teaching me all about the machine and telling me how to things if I needed it because it Was my first workout class after having a baby and so I wasn’t super strong, but I was still able to do almost all of the workouts, but the teacher made it very welcoming and I had a great experience machines and the space was super clean and nice looking definitely will be back!

I took my first ever Reformer Pilates class at Ritual Reform 5 weeks ago and am absolutely loving it. Not only is the workout incredible but the instructors (especially Chelsea) are so knowledgeable and professional, all while creating a fun environment. If you have been thinking about taking a class or looking for something new to incorporate into your life, I highly recommend Ritual Reform!

Ritual reform has been a game changer in my workout routine! I enjoy many different kinds of workouts and Ritual is by far my favorite- it’s addicting!!! Being newer to the studio the instructors have been wonderful at helping guide me through the learning process to ensure I am getting the best workout possible and also keeping me in the right position so I don’t injure myself. This is a must join!

I have been going to Ritual since the studio first opened and am completely obsessed. This studio is very similar to lagree pilates and will have you shaking, burning and sweating from beginning to end. It is a hard workout but there are so many ways to modify so it’s great for all fitness levels. The instructors are all really knowledgeable and well trained. The music is awesome. I love everything about this studio and couldn’t recommend it more!

Ritual is amazing!! I had always wanted to try reformer Pilates, but it felt intimidating. However, the ladies at RR instantly made me feel comfortable and welcome. I had heard so many great things about their RR studio in Templeton, so I was thrilled to finally give it a try when they opened their SLO studio. I started off with the 8-class membership, and after a week, I upgraded to the unlimited, and I’m so happy I did! I’ve now been going 5-6 days a week and actually look forward to it every day and have already seen changes in my body. The owner, Sarah, has been super quick with communication, and all of the instructors are very professional and guide you step by step. Their app is very convenient and super easy to use. And the waitlist totally works, so don’t be bummed if a class looks full; I’ve been able to get in 3 out of the 4 times I’ve joined the waitlist, it’s totally worth it! I promise you won’t regret taking a class here… well, maybe while your muscles are burning through the exercise, but like the good kind of burn that once it’s over makes you want to come back day after day!

I used to do lagree in LA and since moving to Slo I have been looking for a reformer place. Took two classes so far, and love this place! Instructors are great, music is always fun, and the studio is very clean. They also have the cutest grip socks! If you haven’t tried this place yet, you are in for one of the best workouts, and will find the nicest instructors here.

Best place to take Pilates in SLO. Do you want a low impact high intensity workout? Ritual Pilates on the X-former machine is where you want to go! Their method is fire! You sweat, you shake and you are sore the next day! In a GREAT way! Are you looking to see your body change for the better? This is the place! It works!

I’ve been going to Ritual consistently since It opened and the classes are fun and challenging. The teachers have all been great and I love the music! Class flies by and I’m left feeling strong and accomplished. My favorite style of Pilates. Thanks Ritual team!

Everyone on the ritual staff has been incredible since my first class. Every instructor takes the time to work with you and answer any questions you may have about moves . The music is wonderful, every class is so different and never gets any easier ! Parking is so easy which is a plus and the class flies by. I have missed lagree so much since moving to the area! So happy you opened a SLO location .

My visits at Ritual Reform have been nothing short of amazing. From my very first class I felt extremely welcomed; the instructor took the time to personally walk me through each aspect of the reformer to ensure I felt somewhat prepared. Since then, at the beginning of every class if I am meeting a new instructor they have gone out of their way to introduce themselves and ask my name. Aside from the amazing team and their customer service, this Pilates studio is absolutely adorable with great equipment, cute merchandise and an awesome atmosphere. As for the workouts themselves, I am humbled to say the least. The workouts are extremely intense, in the best way, and leave me feeling accomplished and strong! I cannot recommend this Pilates studio enough. Must give it a try/visit!

So fun to experience this new studio. My home studio is Templeton but I had to come checkout the SLO vibes and Sarah does not disappoint with her design skills! Both of her studios are clean, beautiful, staffed with great instructors and provide a killer workout. Love supporting this business and the why behind it.

Having moved from Santa Barbara to SLO late last year, I was so excited when Ritual opened their SLO location! I could finally get back to my favorite workout - the studio team is incredible, and I’ve felt so welcomed, seeing progress after just a few short weeks in my strength and endurance. So grateful for these ladies and their amazing classes!

This is my first ever membership for Pilates and I can only say the best things. Every instructor is so helpful and critiques any postures to only help better your workout. I love the motivation and honesty they offer about each class. Jen was my instructor for my first class and can only say great things about her!! Thank you Ritual Reform for allowing me to branch out my workouts, and helping me feel stronger than ever!

I took my first class this morning with Jenn and absolutely loved the entire experience! Since I have only used a reformer a handful of times, I was a little nervous I wasn't going to catch onto the class's rhythm, but it was paced perfectly and Jenn's queuing was timely and thorough. The small class size allows for extra guidance on movement when needed. My muscles were shaking in the best way and I can't wait for my next class!
