AVOID!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

AVOID! Total rip-off.

There arent enough classes to fulfil the terms of the membership agreement as the booking system blocks you from booking beyond the calendar month. This means you have to sign up for the waitlist for oversubscribed classes and they basically take your money without providing a service in return. Complain and you will be told to pay more for the overpriced top tier to access classes at other locations over an hours drive away.

The standard of teaching ranges from ok to uninspiring to bossy gym teacher. Save your money and go elsewhere.

No classes

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I try to book 4 classes. By the time that I get my 4 credits all classes are booked.

Only wait list. They do not have enough class for flow 1. I am very disappointed. The front desk claim they were going to add more classes, they have not.

They keep getting more people to sign up yet they do not have the classes to support the amount of people.

They just want your money. Planning to stop my classes soon.

Membership cancellation

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They are over charging for cancelation fee. I had to temporarily move out of state and they will not refund the entire month they took out.

I literally followed their directions and should not have been charged and they will not refund it. Corp office # voice mail is full and they don't return emails.

Very misleading and bad business practice. Plus you have to pay for expensive membership or you won't get into any classesgo

Billing complaint

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The club Pilates I use took forever to cancel my membership and is billing me for an additional 30 days I will not be using. Besides the billing issue, the reason I cancelled was because of the clubs racism.

They are not kind to people who are not causian and they were horrible teachers. I did not learn anything at as well.

Disappointed

Updated by user Nov 12, 2023

No response from Club Pilates

Original review Nov 05, 2023
I joined for a 3month trial (8 classes per month)only to find out that every time Id attempt to book a class that they were booked up. Beyond frustrating because I ended up paying for classes that I could never schedule.

I attempted to cancel early as I am moving PLUS couldnt find any classes that worked with my schedule. The manager was unsympathetic & merely said come by the studio and say goodbye before you move - seriously?! I cant use my class credits and I still have to pay for another month that I cannot use. I would never recommend this Club Pilates to anyone.

The membership plans are impossible unless you pay extra & get the unlimited package where you can book classes every day - therefore blocking others from booking a class. So disappointed!

Warning Others Who Might Want To Try Club Pilates

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

AWFUL EXPERIENCE! I had an awful intermezzo experience with Club Pilates between March 2023 and July 2023.

Having been a yoga lover and teacher for years, I've heard good things about reformer Pilates and wanted to try it. I decided it would be a safe option to go try 12 weeks postpartum and signed up for the trial class. After the 30 minutes class we got a 20 minute Sales pitch about their very steeply priced packages. I had intentions to think on it but was pushed into a sales package by a very pushy manager.

I decided to give it a try for the three months they make you be part of it and went for the lowest package, 4 credits for 4 weeks. Then the disaster began and I feel cheated and robbed of my money. The place I went to had no availability during the times I was able to go (Saturday and Sunday) limiting it even further by allowing me to only go to beginner classes. I ended up on waiting list upon waiting list.

They make you cancel 24 hours in advance and you loose a credit ($40) if you can't make it to a class. One morning I woke up genuinely sick and couldn't go to my class - a request to the manager to please credit me the class (the first I didn't cancel within 24 hours) was ignored. When I canceled other classes within the window the class was refunded to my account but I couldn't book it for another class because it needed to be booked within the month it was bought. But because there were no available classes ever I ended up giving the company over $500 and not getting back ANYTHING.

The few classes I was actually able to go to were alright but there was no community and the manager was outright rude and as money hungry as the entire company seems to be.

Don't make the mistake I made - save your money and spend it on your local yoga or Pilates studio that actually cares and is customer friendly. Club Pilates is an expensive RIPOFF!

I do not get the healthcare discount and when the manager is applying it now she says the rates will change. I want to be a lifelong customer and I think you guys should be able to honor that 10 percent discount for the ongoing rate for me. Please contact me back at 516661****

Membership. Cancelation. Refund.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My membership in Club Pilates Burke is recent. Due to schedule and health reasons, I did not attend any class in August, which I already paid for.

I canceled my subscription and received a text on my phone that my Pilates was canceled. I believed my 4 classes per month were canceled, too. On September 19, I was charged for another four classes. I reached out to the manager and told him I could not attend because of health issues, so I hadn't been to the place for a month and a half.

No one contacted me before being billed after not attending for so long. Why would anyone charge someone before verifying why they haven't been in? I asked for the charges to be removed or canceled, as it was then showing as pending. The manager replied in an email that he could extend the date for my classes.

I explained to the manager that that was not possible and that I could not attend.

The manager has yet to respond. I am a United States veteran, and at this point, I am disappointed at the service and communication provided thus far.

They changed the unlimited membership

Club Pilates - They changed the unlimited membership

Used to be unlimited never had a problem getting the class I wanted. Now as a UNLIMITED member I get 15 classes I can book at one time.

And to add to that I have 13 booked and it says I cannot book anymore.

So its not really unlimited is it. Total lies.

View full review
Pros:
  • Good workout excellent teachers
Cons:
  • Not enough classes to many members need to find a balance

Preferred solution: My membership to actually e unlimited again. 15 is not unlimited and I can’t even get the 15.

User's recommendation: I love this place but don’t bother paying for the unlimited. Go to a gym better bang for your buck or checkout workout pass app

Cheaper to buy a reformer and exercise at home.

You can book up to 15 classes max. That's not bait and switch smh, it's to control bookings. If you want to book 30-60 classes, decide to go on vacation and forget about them, or have to cancel last minute bc life happens, or not at all and get charged according to policy, bc you booked out too far, don't complain when the charges hit, and don't ask for refunds and a "break".

Jaklyn Sqg

The same thing is happening with my Unlimited Passport membership which I've had for the past 10 years. I have always been able to book as many classes as I want at any Club Pilates studio.

The definition of "unlimited" is "not limited or restricted in terms of number, quantity, or extent." which is why I signed a contract for an Unlimited Passport Membership. I want to know how Club Pilates thinks its legal or ethical to put "limits" on an "unlimited" membership. I signed a contract to protect my interests and unlimited access to any classes at all Club Pilates. This is a form of "bait and switch".

You sign a contract for "unlimited" access to classes and then Club Pilates limits your access to 15 within a 60 day period.

"Bait and switch" is a form of fraud. "The FTC has issued a Notice that it has determined that bait and switch sales practices are unfair or deceptive trade practices, and violate the FTC Act." There are plenty of other unlimited members that are pissed about the action that Club Pilates has taken by limiting access to classes.

Fort lee , NJ Main Street location district manager Vianca advised that she does not accept cashier check , or checks just cash and credit card. I emailed the facility to freeze my account due to a medical issue I had no one ever replied but once I emailed them to cancel the membership Vianca replied I need 30days I cancelled the membership and disputes the charges but she will reactivate the account and I am responsible for future payments.

Difficult to cancel membership

They make it very difficult to get out of the contract. They seem to change the rules, so it isn't a simple 30 day cancelation notice.

I love Club Pilates

I'm not sure what the negative reviews are about. Club Pilates has changed my life physically and mentally.

I have numerous back problems which has been alleviated with pilates classes. I look forward to attending class each day. My balance has improved significantly and my life has improved exponentially. The number of amazing, empowering friends I have made through Club Pilates is amazing.

It's the best workout I have ever done. I highly recommend Club Pilates to everyone.
