I'm very indifferent about my experience. First of all, the intro class they offer isn't a real class. It's 30 minutes of an instructor explaining the machines and the general idea of the classes.

Second of all, you have to give 30 days notice to cancel your membership.

So, if you're like me (2 your children and a M-f job) when you sign up you pretty much have to commit to 2 months or $489 (170/month for 8 classes+149 registration). This seemed like a huge commitment, especially since the "free" class wasn't even a real class and #2 when you begin there, you can only take the level 1 classes which there's only 1 class offered in the evening. For me, I would really only be able to make it to the 5-6 pm. I wanted a full month with 8 classes to evaluate if that was going to be feasible with my family life.

Patty at the front said she would have the owner call me. However, she never called and had Patty call me back to relay the message that the owner was looking for "real members" and if I wanted to try out a class I could buy the single classes for $50/class.

Hard pass. I really researched reformer Pilates and was super excited for a new type of workout. However, I will likely just go back to being a "real member" at orange theory or Hi-Lo.

I really enjoy going to this studio! You do have to schedule in advance to grab a spot but I can usually get whatever spots I want about 5-7 days out. Parking is super easy in the center it's in but if there's a wreck/backup at 17 and Main, it becomes super hard to get into the lot (nothing the business can handle, just a heads up for planning). The classes have all been challenging but doable and the instructors are all great.

There are 12 reformers, and most classes are filled. The instructors do a good job of keeping an eye out and correcting any mistakes.
Over the past 3-4 months they have added classes so that there is an instructor there 7am-7pm, but you must schedule your class at least a week in advance to get a spot.
That just goes to show how popular and good the studio is!

A few things to note: overall Club Pilates is a great studio but I’ve given it three stars because classes are always scheduled full so it’s hard to establish a routine and they need to offer more evening classes. A 7pm class for mixed levels would be awesome, twice a week. I also wish they would play music, most times we would be working out in near silence and I really struggled with that. Especially in jump board classes, blast the tunes — make it energetic! I even thought of wearing my own AirPods in one ear.

I hope with the new studio opening in west Ashley this will open up availability for classes.

Just took a class with Colleen. She was awesome. Clear direction. She kept us moving throughout the whole class. It felt wonderful!

I am staying with my mother in Charleston 3 weeks of the month. My only fitness regimen for many years has been mountainbiking. An absolute passion. That avenue is basically a nonexistent option for me here compared to what I am used to for trails.
At the suggestion of a friend, check out Pilates. Enter Club Pilates complimentary session to try it out.
This is the most amazing and addictive workout I have ever done. I’m 63 years old and was a massage therapist for a few years. I immediately took to this method of working the body and accessing and firing muscles I never new were possible to actually access them in any other way than chance actions that involved random movements of the body in every day life that might need those deep, intrinsic muscles of the body: read core muscles.
I have been to 9 classes and not one is the same while still working all the body in the same fashion each time. The language that the class leaders are versed in is so good to make the class flow and be very enjoyable. The class is over in a flash and never bored. I feel so much better, sleep better on my class days and have seen noticeable improvements is so few sessions. I have always been confident of my health and well being as I age but Pilates has brought me a whole new excitement for being in better control of my physical well being as I age.
Do yourself a favor, man or woman. Try Pilates.

Joined 7/15/2020 and wrote above review soon after. 10 months later everything in that review still holds true.
No flash in the pan. I’ve attended 115 classes and will NEVER not be attending Pilates classes for the rest of my life.
I will be leaving Charleston soon and the only concern is that the Club Pilates where I will be going to at home has the quality and fun factor that I have been lucky enough to have here. My body and my life are transforming in such a great way.
Thanks to all of the people at Club Pilates, James Island. You will be missed with great memories to hold me over.

If you haven’t tried a free introductory class at Club Pilates, do yourself a favor and go ASAP! This studio has changed my life. I’m longer, leaner, have better balance and core strength, and ALWAYS leave with a smile on my face. Marla blew my mind today with 2 back to back classes.....a very intense and challenging full mat Pilates class followed by a fabulous reformer class! I absolutely LOVE everything about this studio....fantastic and dedicated instructors, a wide variety of classes, and the owners are simply the best💜💪💖

I love Club Pilates James Island! I’ve been a member for over 3 months, having never imagined taking a Pilates class ever. What a difference it has made; I feel better, lost over 30 lbs and met some great new friends along the way.

They’re open 7 days a week and with seven difference class types. There’s even a free intro class to check it out first. It’s not a traditional barre Pilates class, they use a Reformer bed which gives you the ability to do more with less stress to your body.

The instructors are great and they check with you to see if any modifications to the class are needed due to any issues, IE, bad knee, back, wrist... There’s an app to book your classes and once you’ve done that, a confirmation email is sent.
