I have been a member now since they opened their SLO location and I am hooked! The workouts are so challenging, but it is so encouraging to get stronger and see progress. Small class sizes make sure you get in the moment corrections to get the most out of every exercise. The reformer can be intimidating, but the team here is so welcoming and the community is super positive. The music is also top notch and not your basic pop - you can tell the instructors put so much time into their sequences and playlists. I am so grateful to be apart of the Ritual Reform community!

I’ve been going to the Templeton location and absolutely love it! The studio has such a welcoming and positive vibe. Every instructor I’ve taken has been amazing, but I have to give a special shoutout to Lauren—she’s truly a ray of sunshine! She has such a natural gift for teaching and makes you feel both confident and comfortable in class. Whether you’re brand new to Pilates or have been doing it for years, this place is a gem.

Just took my first class with Shelby, she was awesome! The class was challenging, fast pace, and fun! I couldn’t say one bad thing about my instructor - she corrected our posture, positions, explained well the entire class. I highly recommend going to Shelby’s class!

I absolutely love attending these kick butt classes. There’s never been a single one that hasn’t been ultra challenging. The instructors are incredible, and improvements to my strength/focus are happening quickly. Couldn’t recommend more!

For my first class today, I joined a friend who attends regularly. Lauren S. welcomed me warmly and helped acquaint me with the reformer (which was totally foreign to me) prior to the start of class. She encouraged me to do my best and hang in there without getting overwhelmed! I have a fitness background, so many of the movements translated well, but the phrases and poses were best learned by watching Lauren and the others in class. There are no breaks built in, but certainly freedom to rest if necessary. You hit the ground running, so to speak. The app was easy to use to sign up and did a good job of informing me about bringing grip-socks. I see the appeal of attending regularly, as the skills and phrases would become familiar and you'd CERTAINLY get phenomenal physical and mental benefits! Although I attend and teach group exercise classes multiple times a week at another local club, it was challenging in the best ways! Lauren is a fabulous and positive coach. Great music as well! I'm excited there's a studio in SLO, as I work in NorCo, but work in SLO. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love Ritual Reform Pilates. Such a sweet owner and awesome instructors. 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!

Couldn't recommend this studio enough! I have been coming to this studio for about 6 months now and love every part of it. The owner Sarah is amazing and all the instructors are helpful and informative. This was a new style of pilates for me and there was definitely a learning curve. In the beginning, you learn the sequencing and name of the moves, but the workout doesn't get any easier in terms of intensity. You will never get bored. Get ready to burn the tiniest muscles in your body that you never knew existed. I feel like it has slowly transformed my body and I keep coming back because of the results. I feel stronger after every class. Because of the small class size, your instructor can walk around and provide adjustments to make sure you are feeling the burn in all the right places. They also never make you feel bad about taking breaks, just as long as you are doing the moves correctly. If you need them, modifications are always given. I have now been to many other studios that do the same kind of pilates and Ritual Reform is by far my favorite all around.

Love RitualReform! All the instructors do such a great job, and it’s not an easy class to teach! I was so nervous when I first went, but they made everything seem approachable and are always walking around making sure everyone has good form. I’m always sore after, they do a great job of mixing it up every class. My favorite instructor is Lauren in the early morning ❤️

I highly recommend ritual reform . I’m a 56 year old post menopausal woman with 2 ACL reconstruction on the left knee, bucket handle tear right meniscus, rt hip moderate arthritis that I was getting ready for a hip replacement. I started ritual reform as a last resort . I have reformed ! my muscles around the injuries and have very minimal pain am able to hike and do other activities with zero to minimal discomfort. Thanks to ritual reform, so stick with it ! Always tell your instructors about your injuries . I live for my modifications . I should carry a handicap sign for the front of my x reformer. Don’t give up 💕Kelli

Went to my first pilates class here and it was amazing! The studio is clean & modern, creating a relaxing environment to workout in. The teacher explained the reformer and all the various terminology she would use prior to the class starting which helped me follow along once class started. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend trying out a class!

Just do it! Show up and you won’t regret it. Joined when they first opened and had never done reformer X Pilates before, total life and body changer. I love my girls Lauren And Mallory. They come up with super fun workouts always changing it up to work the parts we want ted. Music is killer and the whole vibe in class is inspiring. It’s the one exercise I’ve found that gets the results you want! 💪🏼 long, strong muscles! Just “show up”, as Lauren would say. You definitely wont regret it.

I’ve only been able to experience RR with class passes, but every class I’ve taken, I’ve left feeling accomplished and stronger each time. If you need a butt kicking workout, this is the place to go. RR was my first experience with Pilates on the reformer machine and I’ve loved the experience compared to mat Pilates. I feel like I’m using every muscle in my body with focus all while having fun.

This form of exercise is like medicine. It strengthens in a way I have never experienced. Im a trained yogi, having practiced for 20 years and growing up an athlete, I have had injuries that even yoga couldn’t solve. Though this form of pilates has healed injuries and pains i have been dealing with for years. I love starting my day off with it! Couldn’t recommend more. Well deserving of 5 stars.

This place! The workouts are some of the best and most physically and mentally challenging ones I've experienced in a very long time. The Ritual location in Templeton is a little unexpected gem in our little town--thank you Sara for bringing it here. Very clean and minimal but has a chic feel with top-of-the-line x-formers. Sara, Chelsea, and Malorie deliver a kick butt class every time. The music comes on and you work for the full 50 minutes. Time under tension and sore abs for days. Can't recommend enough.

At 71, 5 days a week of swim or racquetball, I needed something to help be rid of my 'Uti pouch'. I have never done anything for 50 minutes that delivers such results as RRP. A total body work out! My life is now scheduled around my twice a week classes.

I absolutely love this workout! The instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable. They will encourage you to push yourself beyond any other exercise you've ever done, guaranteed. You will almost immediately feel your body become stronger. You can also expect improved balance and a leaner physique. I am personally athletic already, but this class is something anyone can do if they're looking to improve their overall musculoskeletal fitness. For athletes, it will absolutely improve your performance in your given sport. It's a must try!

Ritual Reform pilates studio has literally become part of my life in such a powerful way. Ive completed over 30 classes so far and can’t wait to burn through 30 more. Ive never stuck with an exercise space or routine for this long. It’s addictive, watch out! The instructors are top notch and so supportive, the space is so clean and well designed and the workout itself is like nothing Ive ever done. So challenging yet so precise and controlled so you get such incredible results. Thank you Sarah for bringing RR to the Central Coast.

From the first class I took i was instantly hooked. There was an instant welcome to the community of ladies and encouragement. I have never stuck with any type of work out schedule until I joined ritual reform. Not only have I got stronger and healthier physically I also got stronger and healthier mentally. All the instructors are amazing and encouraging. The owner Sarah is so sweet and welcoming this place has become one of my favorite places to be. The workouts are intense but boy do you feel awesome and accomplished afterwards! I would recommend checking this place out you'll thank yourself!

First off, I have to be honest. I was hesitant to try Ritual because I felt like I wouldn’t fit in, I don’t have a “Pilates” body. I was wrong. I always feel welcomed and supported. All of the teachers help correct my form, encourage me, and you can tell they want you to be the best version of yourself. I have truly loved how I feel every time I leave Ritual, shaky legs and all! I know I will have a good day if I start with Ritual.

There is nothing like Ritual. The machines are made for your body. The small class size makes it very difficult to get into a time slot but it also says a lot for how desirable the studio is. Not to mention the specified care you receive when the class is smaller. Class starts on time which is awesome. Instructors are very adept at what they do and move at a swift pace so you stay focused. The music is fun and engaging as well. You feel like you are truly achieving results but more importantly is that you are actually receiving amazing results.

One of a kind place! The reformers are nothing like a typical Pilates reformer. I’ve used both and recommended Ritual Reform Pilates if you want an even better workout! The staff is very friendly. They are also very passionate about their work and have great knowledge. All instructors are great but my favorites are Laura and Kat. 👍👍

I’m not sure I can do this Pilates boutique justice, but I will give it a try! I took a complimentary 30 minute intro class back in October and I started breaking a sweat within the first ten minutes of the workout! This is incredibly different from traditional Pilates and I LOVE IT. I’ve taken about 30 classes and I’m noticing a lot of differences in my body in such a short period of time. The Xformer is challenging, is guaranteed to make you sweat and shake, and you definitely feel “worked out” after the 50 minutes are up! I also love the full-body focus, as I prefer to work out my body this way, rather than focusing on one area of my body per work out per day. I have an 8-class monthly pack and it’s perfect to have two classes per week at Ritual coupled with yoga for my balance and flexibility, as well as traditional Pilates to target my smaller muscle groups and my ankle mobility. Sarah is amazing! She has been so wonderful answering all my questions and is so good to her clients! I had to cancel within the 12-hour window once (I had a terrible week and had to say goodbye to one of my fur babies the next day) and it was several hours before the workout, but a cancellation policy is what it is for a reason. BUT, Sarah was so understanding and allowed me to keep the credit and cancel the single class. It meant so much to me! I also love how positive the instructors are! I’ve taken classes from Sarah, Melanie, Mollie, Andie, Tiffany, and Aubree and ALL of them have their own unique style and I’ve loved ALL of their classes. I also met Chelsea and a few other of my girls from the Pilates community like Cat while at the studio and they are all so supportive! On top of that, women and men of all body types are in my classes and I’ve never felt more of a community-based, feminist-fueled atmosphere at any other gym or boutique studio. Even if you don’t crush the work out, the instructors are able to provide feedback, hands-on and off corrections, and encouragement (and it helps they always think you crush it haha!). I am happy to report that my membership is worth every penny and I love and hate that I still start shaking in the first 10 minutes of each work out! 🥰 thank you so much for bringing the Xformer to the Central Coast, Ritual Reform!

If I could give this studio more than 5 stars, I would. I went into my first class with the worst, debilitating lower back pain I've ever experienced. I had been told by several people that I needed to strengthen my core and glutes to help with that. I'm an fairly fit person who works out but had never done a pilates style workout with a reformer, so I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. They were so patient and kind to me. Showing me proper technique and showing grace when I would get it wrong over and over again. Within 3 classes, my lower back was feeling better, not 100%, but better. I just completely my 49th class, and I've never been stronger. I no longer suffer from the pain and I'm toned!! I'm a lifer now ❤️

I took my first class at Ritual Reform last week on my lunch hour and absolutely loved it! The machines are so sleek, comfortable and modern. The 50-minute class went by so fast, the music was great, ambiance just perfect, instructor was friendly and knowledgeable and most of all, I got and felt results! I am a regular at doing yoga, sculpt and other varieties of workouts but this was like no other work out I had done before. It was low impact yet I felt results and was sore (in a good way!) 3 days post workout. I also bought some great retail swag. I will definitely be going back.
