  . I started in April by attending an introductory class, which was very informative, and I left with a positive impression afterward. However, this is a boutique fitness franchise, and with that come considerations regarding contracts and payments, so be sure to read the fine print because memberships can be costly. In my experience, I was not greeted when I walked in by the front desk staff. Of the five classes I have taken, only one felt sufficiently challenging or gave me the impression that the instructor was particularly engaged. In May, I fell behind on my payment due to personal circumstances. I called, made the payment, and explained that I needed to cancel my membership for personal reasons. I was told that after making the May payment, I would still be able to take classes. When I asked for clarification, I was told that I had until July 11 to complete my four classes and then contact the studio by phone to cancel my membership. I left a message stating that I was calling to cancel. At no point was I informed that I needed to cancel before June 11 to avoid being charged again. I later spoke with the call center and was given a different explanation. I then emailed the club and received a response from the general manager stating that the payment I made on June 2 was only valid until July 2, and that the payment made today would only extend through July 11. Extending my membership until July 11 was, according to her, the only option available. Keep in mind that the contract I signed only allowed me to attend once a week. Based on my experience, prospective members may wish to carefully review the membership terms before joining.

  Best decision ever -- I'm very new and I've loved every class! I've taken about 8 classes, and I'm already feeling the + difference!

  My health really took a dive! I had to endure 3 major joint replacements between 2022 and 2024. After lots of rehab for both my hips and pelvis I was severely injured after being hit by a car May 2025. It took all I had to try to gain an essence of my lifetime of fitness. Nothing was working. I was swimming, physical therapy, acupuncture, weight lifting and trying to walk properly. Still I was in constant pain and using medications to get me through the day. Even sleeping was painful. I saw a Facebook invitation to attend a free introduction Pilates class at Club Pilates Santa Cruz. I met Staci on my first visit. She explained the philosophy of the practice and what to expect. I signed up feeling like I have nothing to lose at this point. When I started 5 months ago I had no feeling in my left leg. I could not lift it any degree of comfort. It was like dragging around an oak log. My balance was off, my step was not coordinated. And, I was unhappy and miserable always thinking here I am and my fitness won't improve. Aging like this scared me. I had great fear I would be disabled for life. I attended my first class December of 2025. By January I was feeling like I needed to attend more classes, it was fun and social. My body really liked the reformer class. I felt more alive. It has been four months of working hard with several teachers all of them engaging, knowable and above all accepting of my limitations! It had been four months now, four classes a week. My truth is just this, I was able stop all medication after two months of practice. I no longer lived in pain. I no longer woke up in the mornings thinking I was stuck with a life of constant pain. I can feel my leg and last week I was able to start lifting it, stabilizing my balance and aligning my gait. I guess you could say hope flooded me, tears running down my cheeks. This was me moving again, this was me pain free and this was my new medicine! I thank all the instructors that took their time and effort to help me. They understood my issues with compassion, interest and the motivation it takes to transform your life. I look forward to see what amazing life experiences are waiting for me now I have my life back. Pilates for Life!
