Ohhh 713 Pilates, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways…
Small classes. We’re talking 7 people maximum. So the instructors really do pay attention to the most important things like your form and positioning on the reformers and Wunda chairs.
No headsets with microphones where they scream at you to do more reps over the blaring music. And none of that “pulse to the beat of the music” nonsense. Don’t get me wrong, I love beat-driven workouts, but Pilates isn’t meant for that. 713 teaches real Pilates: they’re all about taking it at your own pace, focusing on proper form, and developing strength as you go... not about getting 20 reps in under 30 seconds.
The instructors. Each one is so talented with a unique style of teaching, and most importantly— each one is CERTIFIED. This isn’t one of those studios where a new instructor comes in after 50 hours of training. 713 has committed instructors with hundreds of hours of training and years of practice under their belts. Comforting, and non-injury-inducing. Aside from that, it’s great to know that if I want a get-energized session, I can go see Pennie, or if I want a focus-on-your-breath session, Ty’s my girl.
The owner of the studio, Krista, is quite possibly the most well-meaning business owner I know in Houston. Her passion for philanthropy is evident in all that she does. It’s a studio that feels like...

After coming to this studio consistently, I have completely felt a transformation in my mind, body, and spirit. Each class I leave, I walk out the doors with a feeling of accomplishment and euphoria.
The instructors and owner REALLY make the difference here. I feel safe completing all exercises and appreciate their knowledge and understanding of each client’s individual abilities. They are always very alert of safety and correct any issues with form, as to not cause injury. They each have their own unique teaching style, variety of workout moves, and music selection; which is great when you go frequently because it is never repetitive or boring. All of the trainers are the crème de la crème!
You will get the perfect workout for you and your level of fitness. I see first-timers who love it, to women that have been coming for ten years. Everyone is welcome and everyone is happy...
Read moreIf I lived in Houston, 713 Pilates would be the Pilates place I'd go! I'd started with a local studio (MVMT), and learned about many of the Pilates moves, and loved it so much, that I didn't want to give up a whole week of Pilates when driving the GKids into town for their HMNS camps. Wow. 713 Pilates was a fabulous find! Small studio (yay!) with Pilates certified instructors. Lauren was my instructor for the 3 classes I attended that week, and no class routine was the same. Lauren continuously checked on each of us for correct form during the class. Her teaching experience and Pilates training were highly evident in each visit. 713 Pilates was welcoming, both by the instructors and by the other clients. The studio also has a private room for individual instruction. The next time I'm in town for a few days, I'll be booking classes at...
