District Pilates — Local services in Washington

I just came across this when booking my first class and went to book another session and these reviews are really confusing. I've been to about every Reformer studio in the city and this and the Shaw studio are the Best I've ever been to in DC and maybe ever. I agree with the last review. This studio has not requried masks since they were no longer mandated nor do they require vax cards. Maybe they saw someone in there with a mask which is that persons right but it's for sure not manditory. With all the other fitness studios out there, my first session there the instructor noticed every single one of my injuries and showed me what I should be doing and focusing on to help even myself out and improve my form. I think there might be a couple haters out here :) Life is...

A lot of potential for this place! They have a great locale, not many other studios in this area. Their website is a pain to navigate on a phone. It's also quite easy to accidentally sign up for a class in their Shaw location. They don't refund after you make this mistake, which they informed me happens all the time.

They should improve accessibility by updating website, getting an app, or integrating with ClassPass.

I signed up for 5 classes with a beginner package special. I went to schedule my 2 remaining classes a month after purchasing and they were gone! The paid classes should not expire so quickly. Sad to have wasted so much money, esp. since I missed another with the Shaw booking accident. I hope they can improve and...

Unfortunately, I won’t be returning to this studio after a particularly hostile and chaotic class last month with the owner, Bailey. Over the course of the class, she got increasingly agitated with us and started yelling (genuinely yelling) at us for doing things wrong and not listening to her cues — even though she really wasn’t offering clear cues. She spent most of the class complaining about how much she hates owning the studio, how much debt she’s in, and how much she hates her husband. She picked on one girl in particular so much that the student burst into tears and we had to stop class. It was atrocious. I am bummed that I won’t be able to support this local business in my neighborhood but I don’t want to spend money...
