As much as I want to gate-keep this incredible spot, I equally want to billboard-level brag on how amazing of a community there is here.
Pilates started as physical therapy for me, moons ago, but now itās a standing practice a few times a week.
It doesnāt break the bank to be an unlimited member here, which is another reason to love this place. The math, maths. Especially when historically elsewhere pilates practice is expensive. I can drop into any open class everyday of the month with my unlimited membership and it costs me less than what my mokachoka latte costs down the street! (Needless to say, I opt-out of the latte now and redirect my way to West Seattle Club Pilates!)
The vibe is welcoming, nurturing and fun. The owner is kind and generous. Sheās also a Master Trainer (not very common, actually). Each instructor has their own style of teaching, rigorous in their practice and top notch. Short version: all are amazing. Each day is different, as is each class.
I love to mix up the levels of class I attend as well as they offer so many different types of class. Since joining West Seattle Club Pilates last year, Iāve seen muscles appear I fr didnāt know I had. Iām stronger, have better balance and simply covet the connections Iāve made with other members and people who come in for the free Intro classes that I meet.
Whether a Center + Balance class with Arika or Lisa, Flow or CardioSculpt class with Tina, Suzanna, Kayli, Michelle, Thea or Allison (or any other talented instructor there) I have fun, challenge myself and gift 50min to recenter and reset.
TL;DR: Absolutely solid 100/10, exceptional instruction, clean and beautiful studio, ample local parking, kind and talented staff, beautiful community.
Oh, and almost forgot to mention, the studio has 12 reformer stations. A lot of pilates studios have way less than that. Regardless of class size, I know the instructors are all well trained and experienced, they will help you better your practice and correct your form, always ensuring youāre safe in your practice. I truly canāt say enough great things about this beautiful space Tina has built for us. Iām so grateful šš½ to be...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI joined West Seattle, Club Pilates, as soon as they opened. I had never done Pilates, but had been encouraged by several friends to give it a try. I have not exercised beyond walking in so many years that I was a little bit anxious, and certainly uncertain of what I would be able to accomplish.
The staff at Club Pilates is welcoming, supportive, and encouraging. The women who greet you when you walk in are all lovely, friendly, and knowledgeable about Pilates and their studio. The owner, Tina, has gathered the best instructors, and created an environment, where it feels safe to try, to learn, and to grow in this activity. My body feels better than it has in years. The movements and the resistance are gentle enough that a beginner can do them, without feeling awkward and uncomfortable, and it allows you to modify the experience as you grow and learn to make it more challenging.
All of the members of the community, from Tina and her incredible front staff and instructors, and the other people you share the classes with, are encouraging and fun. I am so grateful for this newfound passion, and all of the health benefits that I am already seeing, after only two months. I have vastly less body pain, and much more energy and stamina for the other things I need to do in my life. This has been truly life-changing for me, and I encourage anyone who is curious or who needs to get themselves back into exercise to give it a try. you will not regret it. Itās awesome! Come join us at West Seattle,...
Ā Ā Ā Read morePilates is a fitness modality Iāve wanted to try for a long time. Club Pilates has made me fall in love with this exercise! I feel so good every time I go, and my strength and stamina have been increasing the last two months just like Tina stated at the intro class. Each time you walk in, you are cheerfully greeted by Lauren who is always fun and compassionate - absolutely a delight each visit. Each instructor gets to know you and takes care to know how to support you in with physical limitations or challenges. They never push you to do anything which makes you feel uncomfortable. Each has their own style and I love that no two classes (even with the same instructor) are just alike. I see Kia and Allison most often and I love both of their styles, encouragement, and personalities. Club Pilates West Seattle is truly the best fitness decision Iāve made in all my years. The clientele is always excited for class and friendly with one another. I absolutely love this place! Thank you for proving my health and well-being, Club Pilate...
