Club Pilates — Local services in San Diego

I enjoy going to this Club Pilates location, and Alexandria Hutchinson is a phenomenal instructor who conducts classes on weekdays. She's very professional, responsible and competent. HOWEVER, I contacted the club after becoming very ill after a class I took on Sunday. The class was led by an instructor who was obviously very ill. She coughed constantly (loudly and strongly) throughout the entire class. I worked in my studio prior to and after the class and was not exposed to anyone else during that period. On Monday I had a slight sore throat, and by Tuesday I was very ill with severe flu-like symptoms. Today it required a trip to Urgent Care, where a COVID test showed negative, but another, more precise test is being done to check for several types of influenza or a new COVID variant. I contacted the club alerting them to this. I very politely asked if they would consider giving a class credit if an attendee feels too uncomfortable to stay in a class led by an obviously very sick instructor. I also asked if they could develop a policy by which a sick instructor is substituted by a healthy instructor or the class can be canceled. Radio silence. Not even the courtesy of a reply email. The irony is that it's a place for wellness goals. One in which each attendee must wipe down any equipment they touched at the end of each class. Yet, the club allowed an instructor with an apparently contagious illness to conduct a class. And a class that has many senior people in it; people who are most susceptible to contagions. An attendee must cancel at least 24 hours prior to the class or they will be charged for the class. So what's an attendee to do if they arrive for class with a very sick instructor? This seems like an issue that should be addressed, rather...

I first visited Club Pilates Bankers Hill in March 2015. I had never tried Pilates before and I was nervous because I am not extremely coordinated. I LOVED IT. The instructors are AWESOME. They all want you to understand what you are doing with your body and why. The classes are small so the instructors have time to walk around and help each client individually. I am an asthmatic and I believe the breathing techniques used in Pilates has helped strengthen my lungs. I have never enjoyed an exercise so much. It is a great work out for my body and meditation for my mind. I have tried other Pilates studios around town but none of them compare to Club Pilates Bankers Hill. The other studios are dirty and have outdated equipment. Club Pilates Bankers Hill is constantly changing and upgrading the equipment and studio. Don’t waste your time or money on any other pilates studio. THIS ONE IS THE...

I was constantly in pain with back injuries and issues. All the doctors said my only chance for relief was a back fusion, since all the other treatments I'd had did not help. I was dragging myself up the stairs and was in constant pain. A friend suggested Pilates as a last alternative. I signed up with Club Pilates and within three months the pain had all but diminished. I've been going to Club Pilates for at least four years and have reduced the pain dramatically -- most of the time there is none. I have spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, disc degeneration, arthritis and bone density issues in my spine. Proud to say the bone density has improved since Pilates, too. I'm 75 years old and feeling younger and pain...
