Club Pilates — Local services in Walnut Creek

I maintain an unlimited membership with Club Pilates Walnut Creek and have been attending classes at least 5 days a week since they opened 3 years ago. The studio has become almost daily ritual for me mainly because the class instruction varies everyday based on the different instructors and rotation of equipment they use to keep it fresh. The daily workout is efficient (50 minutes) and has definitely helped me to the maintain muscle, balance and flexibility that we all need, especially as we age ( I'll soon be 69). I am not a morning person, so I love that they offer so many late afternoon and evening classes. As I've said, the studio equipment, class content, and efficiency are great, but it's also the instructors I gravitate to who make it that much more enjoyable!! My very favorites are Saba, Ramona, and Adrienne, so I tend to schedule myself for their classes, but there are several other good instructors to choose from as well. All up, I am so happy I joined Club Pilates when they first opened and that it has become a part of my daily routine!!

7/8 Update : I took my 500th class at Club Pilates last week!! Now I'm working toward the 750th. Great instructors like Ramona, Adrienne ,Saba, and Zihui make it so easy to look forward to showing up for class!!

Ramona rocks! Great...

I spent 3 months this summer attending classes once a week, From June to September. I loved the classes, especially instructor Mary, and also JC. The person at the front desk, Skip, made it welcoming as well. However, I moved to college in September after the third month of my membership was supposed to end. So I called to cancel my membership, and was redirected to emailing. I got a response saying this acted as my “30 days notice” and my membership will be cancelled mid October. They charged me another month of class, and I am not even living there anymore. It is not like I can use the class credits when I come home for the holidays, because they said my last day to attend is mid October, when my membership expires. I am angry that they could take 130$ from a young college student no longer interested in attending class, but the policy may be written in fine print somewhere. I just wanted to share my experience so...

Tricia is an outstanding instructor. Her instructions are clear and precise for every form, and she takes the time to demonstrate, which is incredibly helpful, especially for visual learners. The rhythm of her classes is excellent, and she sets a positive tone by checking in with everyone before starting to see if they have any concerns or specific areas they want to focus on. This shows her genuine interest in her students’ well-being. Additionally, she offers modifications for those who may have difficulty with certain forms, ensuring everyone can participate comfortably. I would confidently give Tricia a five-star rating—she is truly exceptional. One of my favorite instructor here in Club Pilates...
