Club Pilates 4+

I have to admit, I gazed through the window at Club Pilates several times before finally scheduling an introductory session. For reference- I’ve tried a few boutique style clubs, and quite honestly- didn’t care for the stuffy, “South Charlotte” attitude. I was also not convinced I would get as intense a work out as I was used to getting with a personal trainer. I reached out to CP via IG and Jenny immediately got back to me with a class schedule, C19 protocol and other helpful instructions. I showed up to take the introductory class Saturday and was met with cheerful greetings by Jenny and Stacy. The other class members were also cheerful and the air was genuinely welcoming. Sarah, the instructor, walked the class through the history of Pilates and how the straps, clasps, bars and other pieces of equipment work. I was immediately “hooked”. I signed up and took my second and third classes Sunday and Monday. Both instructors, Stacey and Michelle, were as attentive to their class attendants- offering modifications- correcting posture- reminding us to breath, as Sarah was. The only complaint- and it’s not much of one- is the class schedule. I work 10-6 and would really appreciate a class before 8:00am or after 7:00 pm. Until then, I’m squeezing the 8:30 weekday and as many weekend classes in as often as I can. This is a fantastic club and I look forward to growing stronger and leaner here.

Club Pilates popped up on my IG feed as an ad, and I always research off of the IG platform to find out is this real, was the special rate I saw available real, etc. I found a Pilates studio in my area and the deal was legit. It should be stayed up front any type of discount will apply after the initial charge for classes at full price though. This studio offers “Hero” discounts (military, nurses, teachers, firefighters and EMTs). I use Pilates for the days I am not doing strength training with weights and/or cardio. I have completed four classes and have loved it so far. The app is very easy and simple to use. The studio does not steal your money if you sign up for class and have to cancel. You can make the class up. Memberships are month to month so cancel at any time, but classes don’t roll over; so use what you pay for in that month. This is an excellent alternative to yoga. I personally get bored in downward dog position for 3-5 minutes. Pilates incorporates a tad bit of strength training combined with yoga type poses and moves. Much more entertaining for me.
Good luck to all who try it!

There was an emergency or some sort with an instructor. One of the new and amazing instructors had to finish teaching his morning classes and chose to stay in the studio instead of going home in West Hollywood.

We students waited outside for the doors to open and when they did not begin to worry about the instructor. One of the students knocked on the window while a few more looked through the windows to see if anyone had fallen on the floor. Devin heard the knock from the back and came outside.

He listened with compassion, apologized for the inconvenience and step into leadership. He said not to worry HE would teach the class. He made us laugh sooth everyone.

The class was AMAZING!

He was attentive, kind, and very clear in his instructions. He gave options for levels of a challenge but ALWAYS put safety first.

I am new to this discipline. Because of Devon’s compassionate leadership, I'm inspired to take more classes and challenge myself to include more advanced-level classes as well.

Devon is the truth. He is kind, professional, and a loving leader. This organization is lucky to have him. Thank you Devon for stepping in today. You are exquisite.
