P2O Hot Pilates & Fitness — Attraction in Sacramento

Edit: It saddens me to write this but unfortunately I had a falling out with this gym. I won’t go into complete detail but long story short, after signing a 6 month contract with them, they never gave me a copy of my contract which is illegal in the state of California. After my 6 month membership was up, they refused to let me cancel renewal due to me missing the cancelation date by a week, outlined in the contact I never received. I went in circles with them for weeks about this with no resolution and asked numerous times for it to be escalated to the gym owner with no success. I had every intention coming back after a month of traveling for work, the reason why I didn’t want to renew in the first place, but won’t be anymore as dealing with this was such a nightmare and I have found a studio that better fits my expectations. I expect better service from a small, local (unorganized) gym who preaches love and understanding in their classes, and am very disappointed.

I have been going to P2O for about a week now and I absolutely love it. As someone new to the area, I was looking for a gym that wasn’t too intimidating or “cliquey” and where I could meet new likeminded people. It has definitely been that for me and I feel more at home in Sacramento each time I go. I have a yoga-heavy background so a few other studios in the area appealed to me but I decided to try out P2O first due to a friends recommendation and the great new client trial they offer. But now I don’t even think I need to try any other studios — I have really fallen in love with this one! So far I have taken both vinyasa and pilates classes and they have all been absolutely amazing. All the instructors I have had seem to genuinely love their jobs and are very knowledgeable. None of the classes I have taken were too intimidating for beginners but at the same time, present a nice challenge for regulars. The atmosphere and energy of the studio and students are so great. I am looking forward to trying some downstairs gym classes this week. That is another reason I really love this gym — it really has such a variety of classes which keeps things fun and dynamic. I haven’t been this excited to work out in years and feel so grateful to have found such a wonderful...

After one month of regular sessions at P2O Pilates Studio, I'm already seeing positive changes in my body and overall wellness. The studio's motto "Power to Optimize" isn't just clever wordplay – it truly reflects their commitment to helping clients optimize their movement and strength. Here's my initial review of what makes P2O stand out:

ATMOSPHERE & FACILITY

The studio strikes the perfect balance between serene and professional. P2O's space is flooded with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, and the reformer area is thoughtfully laid out to give each client ample space. Everything is meticulously clean, from the equipment to the changing rooms. The temperature is always comfortable, and they have excellent ventilation – something I've come to appreciate during intense sessions.

INSTRUCTORS

P2O's instructors are truly exceptional. I've had the chance to work with several of them over the past month, and each one brings a unique teaching style while maintaining consistent quality. Special mention to Sarah, whose attention to form is incredible – she'll notice the slightest misalignment and offer gentle corrections that make a world of difference.

EQUIPMENT & CLASSES

Their reformers are top-of-the-line Balanced Body machines, always well-maintained and regularly serviced. P2O also features towers, chairs, and various props that keep the workouts varied and challenging. I've tried several of their classes: P2O Reformer Flow (I started with beginner level) P2O Mat Essentials One private session to get started

INITIAL RESULTS

Even after just a month, I've noticed: Improved core awareness Better posture throughout the day Beginning to feel more flexible Starting to understand proper form in exercises

FINAL VERDICT

After my first month at P2O Pilates Studio, I'm impressed enough to commit to continuing my practice here. While it's too early to speak to long-term results, the professional atmosphere, quality instruction, and attention to form make me confident I've chosen the right studio for my...

First off- the classes are amazing. Amazing classes are not as hard to come by as they once were since everyone and their sister is a fitness instructor nowadays. What makes p2O a place to come back to is their highly skilled instructors as well as their incredible customer service. I’ve worked at 8 different fitness studios as an instructor and manager, and I think p2O has the best customer service. I hadn’t been back to p2O in like 10 years because I moved, and completely forgot I had classes left. Somehow after 10 years, p2O reached out to me to let me know I have 2 classes left, and that they would honor the classes if I wanted. I can’t think of another place that would put a customer first like that. Most classes expire within a year, but for sure 10. It so happens I have family that lives in Sacramento and was lucky enough to take Brett’s class. She walked me through the moves before class started and set me up with the appropriate weights so that I would feel comfortable once class began. The strength and conditioning class was hard as hell but really satisfying, and we had a mini yoga class at the end. This place has incredible and knowledgeable instructors who have been in the industry for years, a beautiful studio, and clearly great ownership and management. Will never visit any other studio while in Sacramento. P20 is...
