Great studio. All the instructors and knowledgeable and kind. They do a great job making sure your form is correct so you don't hurt yourself. The classes are great and allow you to unplug from life and focus on yourself. The studio is clean, bright, and just really nice for a workout class. Cannot recommend them enough.

I have been a member since February 2025 and am very happy at this studio. The instructors are friendly, supportive and well informed. I feel that classes are well paced, the instructors provide modifications and I have noticed a big improvement in my fitness and flexibility. There is a variety of classes on offer that fit my schedule and it is conveniently located next to the metro.

I recently moved to the area from Sweden and was looking for a place to feel grounded and connected — and I’m so happy I found this Pilates studio! From the very first classes, I felt incredibly welcomed and comfortable. The instructors are not only knowledgeable, but they create such a positive and supportive environment that makes it easy to feel at home, even as a newcomer. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and uplifting Pilates experience. So grateful to have found this community!

Shayna is a superb instructor. Her routines are fluid, her cueing is precise, and I am always challenged to push to my max. At the end of every class, I stand more erect, feel more balanced, and navigate through my day with more focus. I very much appreciate Shayna's professionalism.

I always look forward to my classes at Club Pilates Tenleytown. As other reviews have mentioned, the facilities are always clean and comfortable, the instructors are top notch, and the community is very welcoming and friendly. I have been taking classes there for years now, and the classes are still challenging and interesting because of the skill and dedication of the teachers. I recommend CP Tenley to anyone !

I LOVE this studio! It’s spotless and well organized, and everyone is warm and welcoming. The reformers and other equipment are brand new, and the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable. Each class is fun and varied, so it never gets boring. I couldn’t recommend it more—I’m thrilled with my Pilates journey here.

VERY RUDE instructor “Diamond” did not let me in the class which I ran to and was clearly warmed up for. I’ve taken classes here before where I have seen people arrive over 10 minutes late and still let in by other instructors. Not returning to this studio if that is how they are going to let instructors treat paying customers. TERRIBLE

Took a 1.5 Flow with Claudia O through ClassPass and I loved it! Claudia was a great instructor. I would book a class taught by her again!

I love Club Pilates Tenleytown! I've been attending for over a year now, and I am consistently impressed with the teachers, the sense of community, and the warmth of the front office staff. Shayna and Claudia are both standout teachers--they bring expertise as well as a great sense of humor that keeps us entertained while we're doing the hardest moves. Eric, the studio manager, has always been prompt and helpful when I've had questions about billing, etc. As someone who has struggled to feel comfortable in workout spaces, I am so pleased to have found a home here.

Outstanding instructors in a friendly, supportive space. Club Pilates Tenleytown has changed my relationship to wellness - no more back pain, much improved balance and I have more muscle strength than ever! I look forward to every class, even the most challenging ones.

From the moment I walked in, the welcoming atmosphere of Club Pilates Tenleytown made me feel right at home. The front desk attendants are friendly and helpful and the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. They take the time to understand each student’s needs and adjust their teaching accordingly. I love how each class feels fresh and engaging, with new challenges to keep me motivated.
What truly stands out is the sense of community. Everyone is supportive, and the small class sizes allow for personalized attention. It’s clear that the team at CP Tenleytown genuinely cares about their clients' progress and well-being.
Overall, I highly recommend CP Tenleytown to anyone looking to deepen their Pilates practice or start fresh. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a curious beginner, you’ll find a welcoming space to grow and thrive!

I joined in early 2020, not long after the studio opened, and Club Pilates has become a part of my regular weekly routine. I absolutely love everything about Club Pilates. The studio is always very clean, management and instructors are very friendly and attentive to people w injuries. The workouts continue to be perfect for me, and I look forward to going as many days a week as I can. I recently canceled scheduled back surgery and I attribute the improvement in my back pain to frequent Club Pilates classes. I highly recommend.

This place is an oasis! It’s located near busy Tenleytown Metro Station, but once you get inside there is a great vibe. It is nicely designed, is clean and organized, smells fresh (important!) and most of all the teachers are excellent. I went to the other pilates studio in the area for 8 months and can say that this one has better teachers, more interesting workouts and is just more fun.

All the classes are always wait listed… can’t use available credits, their email box is full and apparently no way to contact them. Shameful business model.

I have only been a member for a few weeks. I was really happy so far until this week. The management has cancelled two of the classes due to instructor shortages. There are no other classes at my level that I can take at Tenleytown. I asked them if I could take one in Bethesda, just for this week, and they refused. Not good. I am not impressed with the lack of flexibility considering that they are the ones cancelling classes.

I was super excited to join the intro class with my friends today with hopes to purchase memberships for the 3 of us but unfortunately this place has absolutely no grace period. We were literally 3mins “late” and wasn’t allowed in the class with no prior knowledge of this (no grace period) policy. Had it been communicated to us we could’ve rescheduled instead of wasting gas traveling. I’m still interested in starting Pilates but I will not be returning here , simply because I don’t like the way we were treated.

I really enjoy the studio, the classes, and the instructors. I have no prior experience with pilates reformers, but I think they are magic.
The staff is very mindful of injuries or limitations, and management was extremely helpful when I needed to take a pause to recover from an injury.
It is a bit more expensive than I would normally want to pay for exercise, but it is so much more in line with my body goals and really helps build mind body connection.
I look forward to more classes becoming available.

One star is being kind. The studio itself is dirty. The filtered water machine has dirt and gunk at the base. The bathrooms aren't clean and mold in the toilets. Coming from a very busy studio in another state which is always clean, I found this completely unacceptable. These are lazy franchise owners and terrible instructors and Claudia in particular comes across as lazy in her manner of teaching. In fact, the instructors at this location are not all fully trained. They are subs and apprentices. The classes are rarely full which might also say something. Maybe they can't add more advanced classes because their level 1 and 1.5 are pathetic. One instructor brought her dog to class which whined which distracted the instructor from the class. I experienced incorrect direction regarding how to do certain moves, inability to timely que so you can transition between moves without spending lot of time getting into position among other problematic issues that are inconsistent with the foundations of pilates. There was essentially no stretching at the end of class and limited footwork to warm you up...although the classes themselves are so weak, what's the point. I have passport and have taken classes with very experienced pilates instructors and won't go back to this location or Bethesda. Maybe club pilates shouldn't just hand out franchises and should be more worried about their brand and give franchises to instructors who are fully qualified and take their business and the practice serious.....and maybe clean you place of business.

Members and interested parties BEWARE! This is an unethical, toxic and predatory business. Avoid this studio and it’s arrogant general Manager Manager at all costs.
After following the complicated process and cancelling my membership, the GM manually auto renewed my membership with my bank account on file without my permission, over-drafting my account. All emails, calls and visits to reverse the charge were ignored. Like predatory insurance companies, this studio banks on the hope that you’ll give up, get busy or simply fatigue from fighting them. It’s abhorrent, privileged behaviour.
Save yourself the headaches and find Pilates classes elsewhere.

I enjoyed classes, but their membership policy is terrible. I was charged despite specific instructions-- approved by the manager-- not to auto renew. When I complained, they refused to reverse charges because I had not completed cancellation paperwork that they did not provide to me when I informed them I didn't want to be on auto-pay. They've lost my business and with business practices like these, watch out! Too bad because the classes and equipment were good.

I love this studio! I had come last year and it was always very clean, everything was sanitized between classes and the instructors were GREAT! My posture improved, my back pain decreased, and I felt stronger, leaner, and definitely noticed an increase in my flexibility. I am so happy to be back at the Tenleytown studio!

I'm so glad I found Club Pilates during the pandemic! They are clean, respectful of social-distancing requirements and very professional. I enjoy the Reformer "Flow" workouts, but I love that every session is different, so it's never boring. They do a great job of incorporating other tools into the workout, such as box, chair, ball, Bosu, TRX, etc. I also appreciate that they tell you how you can modify exercises if you have an injury or you're just not up to it that day OR if you want a bit more of a challenge.
I've never been much of a joiner, but I'm glad I've joined this Club. I've lost weight, feel better and actually enjoy working out. I never thought I would say that!

I was going consistently and it was okay - not enough classes, scheduled times didnt line up with my 8-6 work schedule. And then I put my account on hold and the folks I talked to about it were really understanding about covid. However, yesterday I was charged over $200 without warning and when I called the store to ask about it and the person on the phone was the opposite of understanding. I have someone in my household who is high risk and not yet vaccinated and he asked me several times when that person would be vaccinated - which we all know none of us have control over. My experience with Club Pilates has been mediocre to bad and this made me quit -- but only after he got his $200.
