Miami Pilates — Local services in Miami

I had a terrible experience here. On Friday me & my friend were so excited to attend this pilates studio. We walked into an empty studio, just the instructor there who claimed to be the owner. She asked if we’ve done pilates before, my friend said she has a few times, for me it was my very first time. The owner said okay well luckily it’s only two of you so it will feel like a private class. That was comforting for us.

From the very first movement, she treated us condescendingly. Her style of guiding us was rude, pretentious, and snobby. She rolled her eyes at us multiple times during her explanations of the movements. She refused to demonstrate anything to us. She repeatedly mentioned to us “this is an advanced class & the membership here is $125/month” during our session!! As if we didn’t belong or were not welcomed at her studio just because we asked her to demonstrate a movement for us.

She bragged about not only being an instructor, but the owner while rolling her eyes & telling us “this is the strangest experience i’ve ever had, I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t know what a plank is” We indeed know what a plank is. Her intentions were to be blatantly rude to us. As an instructor I assume your position here is to teach, guide, and be kind to your PAYING attendees.

We decided to cut our workout short & leave mid session, otherwise it would have felt that we were volunteering to be bullied by this mean instructor.

She followed us as we got ready to leave and said “you are not welcomed back, we do not accept free-trail class pass users” We are paying ClassPass members Nowhere on the description of the class emphasized advanced. Either way I would have been up for the challenge. She straight up just wasn’t kind, accommodating, given the extra space in the class since not another soul was there.

Oh and the best part, she proceeded to charge me and my friend Paula a no show fee of $31!!!

Paula had left a review the day of and the owner responded repeating that I was a free trail users. Regardless of their restrictions of free-trail users, does that give her the right to roll her eyes and make snarky comments to people who are there to learn? Very strange behavior. She was unprofessional and remorseless of the bad experience she...

This studio truly has it all. At first, I wanted to come here just for the aesthetics. It had that Japanese vibe that I love coupled with this serene green. I stayed because of the instructors, the classes, the MANY props (I didn’t think pilates had so many props) and how great I felt afterward. I have never been to a studio that divides the class between the reformer and the Cadillac (like what is that?), but I welcomed the challenge. The instructors care about how you progress, and it’s actually okay to give feedback!

I will say that the classes will seem advanced, but with all pilates, there are modifications that can be made to target the same muscles. The class itself isn’t impossible. If someone is brand new to pilates, I would suggest coming in earlier to run through some basics (like what is a reformer?). Be considerate about your fellow pilates princess that paid for the class just like you did, but doesn’t want to spend her class having the instructor focused on your poor movements.

I have been doing pilates for a while now, and it’s tough no matter what. This is also what I love about this studio. I was able to see a visible change in my body and rehab my knee through their classes in just 30 days. It is tough. It is hard, but it is so worth it. You will never feel like you wasted your money by coming here - and we all know there are many different pilates studios that many you feel like you wasted money and time. If you want to be coddled, this isn’t the studio for you, but if you want to see true change in your body, this is your studio. You’ll get stronger, get addicted and...

I was really excited to try this studio during my trip to Miami. As a classically trained Pilates instructor with experience in modern megaformer, I’m always open to different styles, and I was especially looking forward to a class that included Cadillacs.

The studio itself is beautiful and very clean. That said, after taking two classes with different instructors, I felt the experience lacked the depth that makes Pilates feel like true Pilates, regardless of style. The instructors offered cues, but they often felt more like recitations than meaningful guidance, and I didn’t feel they were truly teaching or instructing. My friend, who is not an instructor, also agreed that she wanted more attention to detail and better cueing.

At times, the classes seemed more focused on being difficult than on intentionality, and some movements came across as rushed or surface-level. While I can appreciate that Pilates is taught and enjoyed in many different ways, I left disappointed because I was hoping for more authenticity and depth in the practice.

That said, I do think someone could attend these classes and get strong and have a good workout. My experience was not a wash, and I’m glad I tried the studio. I’m just looking at it from a...
