Club Pilates James Island is a boutique Pilates studio specializing in reformer fusion classes for anyone, at any age or fitness level. Pure to Joseph Pilates’ original Reformer-based Contrology Method, but modernized with group practice and expanded state-of-the-art equipment, Club Pilates offers high-quality, life-changing training at a surprisingly affordable price.
I'm very indifferent about my experience. First of all, the intro class they offer isn't a real class. It's 30 minutes of an instructor explaining the machines and the general idea of the classes.
Second of all, you have to give 30 days notice to cancel your membership.
So, if you're like me (2 your children and a M-f job) when you sign up you pretty much have to commit to 2 months or $489 (170/month for 8 classes+149 registration). This seemed like a huge commitment, especially since the "free" class wasn't even a real class and #2 when you begin there, you can only take the level 1 classes which there's only 1 class offered in the evening. For me, I would really only be able to make it to the 5-6 pm. I wanted a full month with 8 classes to evaluate if that was going to be feasible with my family life.
Patty at the front said she would have the owner call me. However, she never called and had Patty call me back to relay the message that the owner was looking for "real members" and if I wanted to try out a class I could buy the single classes for $50/class.
Hard pass. I really researched reformer Pilates and was super excited for a new type of workout. However, I will likely just go back to being a "real member" at orange theory or Hi-Lo.

If you haven’t tried a free introductory class at Club Pilates, do yourself a favor and go ASAP! This studio has changed my life. I’m longer, leaner, have better balance and core strength, and ALWAYS leave with a smile on my face. Marla blew my mind today with 2 back to back classes.....a very intense and challenging full mat Pilates class followed by a fabulous reformer class! I absolutely LOVE everything about this studio....fantastic and dedicated instructors, a wide variety of classes, and the owners are simply the best💜💪💖

I love Club Pilates James Island! I’ve been a member for over 3 months, having never imagined taking a Pilates class ever. What a difference it has made; I feel better, lost over 30 lbs and met some great new friends along the way.
They’re open 7 days a week and with seven difference class types. There’s even a free intro class to check it out first. It’s not a traditional barre Pilates class, they use a Reformer bed which gives you the ability to do more with less stress to your body.
The instructors are great and they check with you to see if any modifications to the class are needed due to any issues, IE, bad knee, back, wrist... There’s an app to book your classes and once you’ve done that, a confirmation email is sent.
