I came to Club Pilates after a friend—who’d heard my long-standing saga about chronic knee and hip pain—suggested I try it out. My issues originally stemmed from a broken foot I never fully rehabbed with proper physical therapy. She thought Pilates might help strengthen all those small, neglected muscles.
I’m an Orangetheory junkie, but I had to stop because I was in constant pain every night. I was doing some physical therapy, but it just wasn’t enough. Committing to Pilates five times a week was what finally made the difference. After three consistent months, I’m back to my regular exercise routine—pain-free for the first time in about eight months. It honestly felt like magic. The instructors are so knowledgeable, it’s almost like having physical therapists guide you through every class, targeting muscles I probably hadn’t activated in years if ever.
I only wish I’d found Club Pilates right after getting out of the boot. It could have saved me months of discomfort.
Having done physical therapy first definitely gave me a good foundation, but I’d highly recommend starting with a few private lessons to make sure your form is solid and you’re getting the most out of it. The unlimited group class membership is about $299/month, which is actually very affordable for Pilates. The classes are creative, engaging, and rarely the same twice.
Now that I’m back at Orange Theory , I can feel how much stronger and more balanced I am. All those weak spots and bad movement patterns have noticeably improved. I’m so grateful.
Also, classes at Club Pilates run almost every hour throughout the day, which is super convenient.
Any little issues I may have had with teachers I’m able to disregard on account of finally having a body that doesn’t hurt. And even the teachers I enjoyed the least still gave killer workouts.
The main front desk person is so friendly, always bright eyed with a big smile. Su Rain, Emily, and Crystal are the girls in HS you want to include you, and they finally do, in your journey to a pain free body. (This is where I’d put a goofy...
Read moreClub Pilates Edmonds has truly been life-changing for me. As a mom of two, I was constantly in “taking care of everyone else” mode—juggling kids, work, and everything in between, I would try to exercise, but I couldn’t stick with anything consistently, and it always felt like a chore.
Then I decided to take an intro class at this studio, and I enjoyed it. But it was my first class with Emily that got me completely hooked! Pilates here has not only boosted my confidence and improved my mental health, but it has also strengthened my body in ways no other workout ever has.
I still have a long way to go and am learning the foundations, but I actually look forward to class. It’s something just for me, outside of motherhood and work, that makes me feel stronger and healthier.
I started with a 4-class monthly pass, then upgraded to 8, and now I’m an unlimited member because I love it that much! This studio has also become a wonderful community I didn’t even know I needed.
Thank you to Club Pilates, Emily, and all the other amazing instructors! If you’re even thinking about trying this studio—or if you feel intimidated by Pilates (I was at first too!)—just go for it. It’s been absolutely life-changing for me, and I can’t...
Read morethis is an edit to my original review (3 stars). I have made it to a couple of classes now and I thoroughly enjoyed the two I have done. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my aching back doesn't hurt in the classes so it is absolutely beginner safe and inclusive. Tonight's instructor, Nicole, was fabulously patient and kind and really took the time to show the participants what to do and made sure all could see her. I really appreciated her attentiveness to us as people . It is still worth noting that the classes are understandably limited in size so expect to be on a waitlist and/or plan your life well in advance. Just an FYI too for those of you who may be thinking about the Intro class, they offered a deal where they waived a joining fee but only if I signed up for classes the day I did Intro. If I had known that, I would have looked at my budget beforehand. I was expecting to see the equip and classroom then get prices and think about it based on cost per class but this process was not that. I signed up for the minimum to take advantage of the $150 waived joining fee and I am glad I did but I did feel internal pressure to make an expensive...
