#Friendly at First, But It's Just a Sales Game#
They treat you great when you're joining—smiles, encouragement, the whole pitch. But miss one class and suddenly you're charged, with no heads-up and zero empathy. I brought it up and got nothing but indifference. Felt like I was just a dollar sign to them. Not a place that values its members.

BEWARE!!! DO NOT, I mean DO NOT SIGN UP FOR ANY FULL PACKAGES. You will be charged a lot and lose your credits. If you travel, you cannot transfer those credits. Its almost impossible to even register at a different CP location because their system recognizes you as a user at a different club, so they need to manually remove you and verbally give you a password (What??? Absurd!) While in Sarasota, I couldn't even attend the Downtown location, because I was a member at South Sarasota! This has been a problem for 3 years at 4 different clubs around the country and I'm over it. Also, their classes are always full, they hold very few classes on FRI, SAT and SUN, and you need to signup weeks ahead of time. I have spent thousands with CP but have received almost no support when trying to move from Club to Club! If you must join please consider only the tiniest packages or you will lose money and most assuredly be disappointed.

I visited this studio 2x while in the area recently. I have not been in a CLUB PILATES before but have practiced in independently owned Pilates studios for several years. I know the classic series on Reformer, Cadillac/wall unit and am familiar with Classic Pilates principles (Joesph Pilates original work).
I much enjoyed my time in Club Pilates and felt "worked out" following class. Instruction was clear and motivating (5 star). However, I was surprised they don't follow Classic Pilates series and don't utilize some moves at all due to safety concerns. I was asked to not do moves I practice regularly including short spine and long spine and it was implied there are more movements they consider dangerous and don't teach.
In a nutshell, GREAT fitness option but this is not classic Pilates (hence the star deduction). I personally would call it Pilates inspired fitness simply because of the studio design, which is AMAZING (each student has a personal practice area with a reformer, chair, wall unit and other basic equipment).
FYI, I'm 60, practice Pilates at least 3x/week and weightlift 3x/week.
If CLUB PILATES gets you off the couch, DO IT! Whatever keeps you mobile and moving as this is what your body was designed for!!!

I started at Club Pilates about a month ago. I'd been plagued by sciatica and saw relief from that almost immediately, as well as just feeling better all over. The instructors are all great👌

The instructors are great and the facility is nice, their schedule is not for everyone. management is not as great. It is impossible to cancel a membership no matter how hard you try. I hear this from other people as well. it's a shame.

I joined this studio about a month ago as a pilates newbie. I was someone who was out of shape and getting out of a long depressive episode of a couple of years. I was looking for a form of exercise to get me up and out of the house with an environment that was low anxiety. Every membership starts with a free introduction class that I wish would’ve went over the terms used in classes (i.e. flexed foot, placing box short ways vs long ways, naming all of the straps of the springboard). After the intro class you are offered the packages and I went with the unlimited for ~$230/ month (3 month span). I go about 3-4x a week in the afternoon 1.0 classes. The best instructors as a newbie are Pearl Dahmen, Becca Dahmen and Samantha R. I wish there was a little more instruction as to when to know to move up to 1.5, as I am still clueless about that aspect since it’s a voluntary decision. I have loved my experience here and would recommend this studio highly. After keeping with it I now even have the energy to do 30 min cardio before my classes and it truly is an addictive form of exercise. I recommend this for anyone out of shape looking for something to stick with in the long run.

March 2020 when Covid hit Club Pilates South Sarasota charged me $159 on March 15, 2020 and closed the location for next 3 months. I emailed them about the charge and froze my account. They didn’t open the location till June 2020 and I started freezing my membership as I didn’t feel safe going to the studio. On February 7, 2022 they started charging me even though my account was on a freeze. And they mentioned that they can no longer freeze the account as I have a past due balance. Now I am getting harassing calls from their debt collection agency that I owe them $612!!! Called the studio no answer, called the headquarters and they can no longer see my account. This is a highway robbery. They are punishing me as I didn’t cancel my membership!!!

I tried to take a “free” class, but since they only offer an intro class, and I have been practicing for 15 years it would not apply to me. I M new to SW FL and have been wanting to experience this ‘club’, but I now would not try it 🤨

Club Pilates got a new instructor named Sarah. She is awful! She talks for the class more than you work. She has an unpleasant attitude. She has no interest of giving anyone a challenging work out. I walked out of her class and went to another gym to exercise because it was a waste of an hour. I have been at club Pilates for months now and she is flooding the schedule. Most of the other instructors have a long wait list to get into their class. The only other options I have or are at 6 AM or the evening classes. I have 4 children so those time slots unfortunately are extremely challenging for me and I’m sure most others. This is the first time ever that I haven’t even been able to use all eight classes. I can’t believe that they don’t offer anyone better. I have complained along with many others but they don’t seem to care. They just keep giving her more classes. If this happens again next month I will definitely be canceling my membership because it’s a waste of money if you can’t go and actually get a good workout. Extremely disappointing!

Ridiculous sound system, I can't believe anyone would charge such a high rate and equip it with a cheap-cheap sound system that is critical to the exercise process. everyone tends to crowd to the speaker.

I love this studio. Everyone is super friendly. Every instructor is knowledgeable and attentive to each class member. They assist us in performing exercises correctly and push us to challenge ourselves why still respecting our individual abilities and limitations. Modifications are always provided as needed. Each class is always different and each instructor has their own unique style. I try to take classes with many different instructors to challenge myself. No class is ever the same. This is my first experience with Pilates and I look forward to attending. I have set a goal to go 6 days a week and I have managed to achieve this goal for the last three weeks! Thank you to all the great instructors and front desk personnel. I appreciate all of you. I am sorry one of the reviewers did not have a good experience with Diana. I enjoy her classes and her style as I do all of them.

I have been going to Club Pilates Sarasota since it opened last year. I had done Pilates previously at another studio, mostly mat classes and private reformer class before joining Club Pilates so I had was familiar with doing Pilates. At Club Pilates I started with the Intro class which is great as the instructors walk you through how to use the reformer machine and proper technique. What I love about Club Pilates is they have a variety of different style classes and levels. The instructors are great, as they walk you through each exercise and make sure you are doing it properly. They are energetic and keep the positive energy going. I have made some great friends since going there. Amanda the GM is awesome. She goes over and above to listen and assist with any questions or concerns you may have. All of the front desk and instructors are the best, super friendly and always there to help. As for myself doing Pilates has given me a better outlook on workouts, posture, strong core and makes me feel great. I look forward to going to class each time. Thank you to the staff at Club Pilates Sarasota.

I have been going to Club Pilates as a private student of one of the instructors. Recently the decision was made that private students would not be allowed, and I must be a member of Club Pilates. I was offered a 10% discount on my first package. When I paid, I asked for a receipt, and was told that one would be emailed to me. Over 24 hours later, I still have not received the receipt. They did manage to email my contract, however, which lists the price WITHOUT the discount they offered. Did I pay full price, or get the promised discount? I have no way of knowing. Not professional, in my opinion.
