I love Citizen Pilates, I have been going to the studio since fall 2018. Since then I really noticed if I go routinely without missing a class, my muscles mass is very lean and I feel great --important at any age, but more so in your 30s when you are a mom of two :-D Citizen Pilates has great programs, they are always different, so your body never gets used to the same routine which is what I love most about doing pilates with Citizen Pilates!

Reformer 101 goes at a slower place to allow you to focus on form as well as feel the burn of a good strength workout.

I’ve been going here for a few years and I love the instructors! They work hard to give you variety in your workout but also make you work so hard! I appreciate the mask mandatory classes but even for the regular classes they are super clean and spaced out.

I love the small class size and the attention the instructors are able to give each person during class. An additional plus is I feel like I don’t have to show up super early for classes like I did at other studios. I can show up five minutes before class and I’m guaranteed enough time to get situated.

I could not be happier with Citizen Pilates. I have been attending classes since May and quickly transitioned to the unlimited membership because I enjoyed it so much.

I’m 38, and as I’ve gotten older, I unfortunately am not able to run or lift moderate weights as much as I used to. It’s just too hard on my hip and knee. Because of this, Pilates has become the foundation of my fitness routine. I’m able to maintain a strong core, and am gaining strength in my inner thighs, which is something I’ve not been able to do with any other workout. I’m very pleased with the results I’ve achieved, and even though I’ve worked out regularly for years, I’ve had several friends ask me what workout I’m doing since starting at Citizen.

Citizen has classes at convenient times for me, and the staff is so friendly. With fewer opportunities to socialize because of the pandemic, seeing the instructors, front desk staff and other attendees really brightens my day.

Best studio in Houston! I started looking for reformer classes last year with ClassPass and have visited a few studios around town. I’ve found a home at CP - the sense of community and the variety of instructors and classes (not to mention the cute clothes for sale!) have kept me coming back for nearly a year. I love how β€œeveryone knows your name” when you come in, and I have literally transformed my body with Citizen classes. They’ve taken Covid precautions seriously and I feel not only welcomed but safe at all three studios. Can’t recommend this studio too highly!

Citizen Pilates has literally changed my life. Bailey and Joey are two of my favorite instructors and challenge me in every class. I absolutely believe pilates has not only improved my core strength and overall flexibility, it has improved my tennis and golf games too. Everyone needs to try it in my opinion!

All locations of Citizen Pilates are great and have a small class size so attendees receive ample attention from instructors. Clean, spaced out machines and vigorous cleaning protocols. Every class and instructor is a little different which makes each workout new, exciting and challenging. For newbies, there are a a handful of Reformer Fitness 101 classes and for more advanced you can take any of the jump board classes for some more cardio. Love this workout and the studio!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Citizen Pilates! When I first moved to Houston, I was eagerly searching for a pilates studio but as a male found myself feeling out of place or uncomfortable in most classes. It wasn’t until taking class at Citizen Pilates that I truly felt welcomed. With a friendly staff and warm, supportive atmosphere, Citizen instantly became a second home. I have been attending regularly (5-7 times a week) for over two years now and have seen great improvements in my strength, balance, and overall fitness. I have taken class from almost all of the regular instructors and can confirm the highest-level of pilates knowledge and passion. If you are able to, I highly recommend taking a class from founder and overall amazing human, Jess Hughes for a true, one-of-a-kind Citizen experience.

Citizen Pilates has changed the way I workout. After 20+ years of competitive sports, my body doesn't handle HIIT workouts well. Working on a reformer at Citizen provides a low-impact, full-body strength workout - often leaving you drenched in sweat. It takes a few classes to find the instructors that best suit your personality, but once you do, get ready to be addicted!

If classical Pilates is not enough but Lagree is too much, Citizen Pilates is your Goldilocks Pilates studio! I never get tired of these workouts- the instructors keep it fresh, and everyone from the owner to the front desk is welcoming! They take cleanliness and COVID precautions very seriously; I love that they have some β€œmask mandatory” classes.

My absolute favorite way to workout! The instructors are so helpful and encouraging. They have a positive energy that makes me feel like I could plank forever. The classes are made up of women (and men!) of all shapes and sizes; I’ve felt comfortable since my very first class. The studios are impeccably clean and have a cool vibe.

I am a huge fan of Citizen Pilates, both Heights locations! They are so encouraging during classes and help with modifications if and when needed. They take great care to make sure that form is correct and that we don't injure ourselves in the workout. I have felt a lot stronger since going and am thankful for an exercise I truly enjoy!

I go 5-6 times a week and I'm about a year and a half in: Reformer Pilates, Stretch Class and Jumpboard Circuit. Love them all. Both Baileys, Nicole, Jess, Alex, all amazing. Just go. It's accessible but challenging and lots of opportunity for modification!

Updating for new instructors, Laura and Sally. I don't know how they create such a consistent experience with all of the variety, but I'm still hooked.

Cann not say enough good things about Citizen Pilates! I started last year and immediately fell in love with the intimate classes, the AMAZING instructors and staff, and the well rounded work outs. I have always been intimidated by work out classes thinking everyone is judging you but at Citizen they immediately make you feel comfortable and go out of their to guarantee you leave there feeling more confident than when you walked in.

CitizenPilates has really changed my life, and in ways I didn't imagine. I have had numerous back issues and fat to muscle imbalance. When I started, I couldn't manage the classes and became so frustrated, and THAT was what prompted the support and understanding from the amazing instructors and staff. A year+ and I am still going strong. New friends at class and more confidence to trust my body. I encourage anyone with injuries or balance issues to take a class. It literally will change your life.

Citizen Pilates is more than a place to work out - it is a community where everyone knows your name and everyone wants to see you succeed. There are a lot of boutique workout options out there, but Citizens is special. Their instructors provide options for all levels of experience so everyone gets the workout they need. I love Hannah, Bailey, Alex and Jess!! There is an instructor for everyone's style and needs. Citizens makes me feel welcome and comfortable every time I walk through the door. After 2 years, I still love the diversity of workouts, instructors, and Citizens planking next to me!!!

Took my 464th class this morning with Hannah. Hannah is an excellent teacher and a great example of the talent that Citizens is able to recruit and maintain. She cues positions with smooth flow, one leading to the next like a beautifully choreographed dance. She gives tips about the muscles being strengthened and keeps us progressing forward without injury. Citizen took me from being a novice to intermediate and brought me further than I ever thought I could go. I encourage you to give Pilates and specifically Citizens a try.

Excellent workouts, exceptional value!
Citizen Pilates gives you balanced exercise for your body on reformer equipment that leaves you feeling better and creates peace in your mind.
Inspiring and talented instructors create challenging routines for all levels of experience that work out your legs, arms, upper body and core. All the routines are comprehensive workouts but no two routines are the same.
Classes are exceptional value and frequent discounted packages make them an even better deal.
Thank you Jess and your instructors for turning my exercise regime into a truly effective, satisfying and fun experience!

Updating my review from a few years back. Still attending classes at Citizen Pilates and still loving it! It's been 3 years since I started and I go about 3 times a week. There are two locations now, with more to come, which means more classes to try out! It's easy to get into a class, even if you have to waitlist. The studio is clean and modern, the instructors are amazing and the whole vibe of the studio is welcoming, nonjudgmental, and relaxed. I have been to multiple Pilates studios and always ended up leaving because I never felt I fit in. Citizen genuinely welcomes everyone and I've been hooked since day one!

This is definitely what I have been looking for in a pilates studio! Small classes with dedicated instructors. No class is exactly the same and you walk away with a great work out.

Studios are clean and modern. Its best to book in advance as classes do full up quickly.

For first timers toe socks are not required. You can work out barefoot or purchase socks at the studio.

This team makes you feel strong! I’m kind of addicted to their different classes (especially to Jumpboard Cardio) because the instructors challenge you to take your workout to the next level. Their group classes have at most 7 people, and they help you to complete your routine at your own pace bringing different options or modifications that you can take depending on your fitness level. If you are looking for a friendly but challenging place to improve your muscle tone, cardiovascular health and balance at the same time, don’t hesitate to give it a try. You won’t regret it. ❀️

I moved to Montrose from NW Houston where I practiced Pilates for two years. I was unable to find a reasonably priced reformer Pilates studio that offered small classes for over a year until finally discovering Citizen Pilates. I love the small classes, the expansive schedule, and the fact that each instructor offers unique teaching talents. The quick drive to the Heights is well worthwhile.

I wish I could give Citizen 10 stars instead of 5! In my search for a "home" studio, I came across Citizen and it's been the greatest addition to my work out regime. Jess has created an environment that is welcoming, fun and filled with great people. I've taken classes with Jess, Jennifer, Tatiana, Chelcie, Tori and Amy (who are ALL amazing) and each one has been different and challenging in its own way! During class the instructors help correct your form, and give you tips to make sure you are targeting the correct muscle groups during the set. I've seen my body change and tone over the last three months, and I haven't once tried to talk myself out of going to class! I would recommend Citizen Pilates to everyone!!

I've loved every class I have taken at Citizen Pilates! A friend asked us to join her for a class at CP, and it only took going once to get us hooked. We all bought a package that same month! The instructors at CP are very supportive and helpful, especially since I had never taken pilates before and was intimidated. The equipment is great and the small class size makes it easy to pay attention and follow along. The facility and staff are fantastic, you always leave class feeling great about yourself. I live farther away, so its sometimes difficult to make it into town for a class. However, I take any chance I get to take a class at CP. I have loved my experiences and the amazing staff at CP. I would recommend if you haven't already visited Citizen Pilates than you should ASAP, because you don't know what your missing!!

I attended my first Pilates Reformer class ever this past Sunday at Citizen Pilates and loved it. Jess, the owner/instructor, gets you well acquainted with the machine and makes it so easy to learn. Her instructions are clear and easy to follow and the 50 minute class flew by but I felt like I got a great workout. I have been lifting weights for 15+ years, but this worked my core and muscles I haven't worked in quite some time. My abs are so sore today and I love it!

This place is great! As a beginner, I was thrilled to have an instructor to show me around the machine and make suggestions on modifying positions based upon skill level. All of the equipment is new and the classes are small; so, you can't get overwhelmed or embarrassed. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the cool temperature..cause, uhm...no one wants to see a pretty girl dripping sweat in the middle of the work out. PLUS, you could slide right off the reformer:) They provide cubbies in the back of the class for your personal belongings and wipes are available too for wiping down your equipment. No membership either - you can buy a package to save, or just drop in and pay as you go. Perhaps the best thing of all though...is parking! There's plenty. The team at Citizen is fantastic - go check it out!
