Pilates near Castro Valley

“I had a class with Lisa yesterday and wanted to share how wonderful it was. Highly recc the studio for anyone considering yoga!“

“Excellent gym, clean and well-run. I don't use their trainers--mainly I do my own workout on one of their Pilates reformers--but what I see them doing with other customers looks good.“

“Ive been taking Pilates once a week for almost 2 years now at Reactive Movement. It’s been an excellent experience and I definitely feel stronger, more aligned and balanced. The instructors are great and a special shout out to Jaclyn who gives amazing instruction and always changes up our weekly class and keeps it interesting. I always feel mentally and physically better after my class.I also love the vibe at the studio, very mellow and all the equipment is modern, kept clean and well maintained.“

“Valerie is a sorceress who has improved my quality of life dramatically since I wrote my original review. I originally sought Valerie's help for right shoulder pain from boxing and pickleball. The true reason for my pain, however, was scoliosis, which I had ignored for decades. By July 2023, my shoulder was pain-free. As I continued to increase my activity, Valerie was always spot on with helping me with whatever other issues emerged. I religiously followed the exercises that she suggested. Rather than a rigid routine, she taught me how to strategically select "a la carte" from my menu of mobility, strength, and core exercises. Today, my shoulder pain is long gone. My mobility is much better: I can raise my arms and stretch without any hitches or weakness. When I look in the mirror, my shoulders are even for the first time in 30 years. I'm down to monthly visits with Valerie (previously weekly, then every other week). Most importantly, I feel empowered to know how to respond to small issues that may come up. It feels good to be so much stronger and to be able to be active again!“

“CB fit, and especially trainer Alexis, has been transformative for me! I’ve actually enjoyed working out three times a week doing lagree and I have them to thank for it. Highly recommend.“

“This review is very long overdue. I first had a massage at Shape Shifters earlier this year, then started attending yoga, and then a special combo treatment (we would do some body work and some physical movement). Terra helped me SO much .. I was/am healing from a few car accidents, and her super knowledge of the body was a huge asset to me. I had been "out" of working out for a very long time because of my accidents, and with Terra's guidance, gradually got back into yoga earlier this year, and now am happy to say that despite moving across the country and no longer being able to attend Shape Shifters, I'm able to do yoga poses I was unable to do before, and in the gym lifting weights! I cannot tell you how huge this is for me - and I really credit Terra for a big part of the shift I needed to get here. She is incredible! And supported by great masseuses as well. Also love the creams she has. I would recommend her and the studio to anyone looking for a supportive environment to work out (yoga or pilates) and/or who needs body work... and especially to anyone who was like me and wanted a combination of those things! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!“

“Best results I’ve gotten from any other experience! I went in for an anti-aging treatment. My main issue has always been dark spots on my face—I’ve even been turned away by a Kaiser dermatologist! This is the first time I’ve seen results and it was instant! Moreover, she has educated me on how to continue to lighten my dark spots. My jaw area had also been tightened. I don’t have the photos to share but she does take a before and after photo for you to see. I wholeheartedly recommend satisfying your curiosity!“

“I was pleased that the space was clean and other long time members were very happy with their results. As well as the instructors. Im excited to join!!!!!!“

“This is a professional pilates practice at a warm and welcoming home studio. I was delighted to choose Empilates last month while I was on holiday in the bay area, and attended 3-4 classes. Back home in Singapore I go for pilates and ballet barre classes 2-4x a week and have worked with several instructors over the years. I usually look for boutique/niche experiences and expert, experienced instructors with a loyal following. (From Yelp) I was pleased to find this with Emily, who was knowledgeable, patient, kind and very clear. Her repertoires flowed well and caters to a range of abilities. She also recommended me instructors in NYC and Singapore. Thank you Emily, I hope we meet again.“

“What a great place! I signed up my 7yo for summer dance camp and she absolutely LOVES it! Dance instructors are wonderful, skilled, energetic, very patient, professional and oh so so fun! My daughter can't stop talking about how much she loves her experience from day one. We feel so lucky to have an opportunity to be part of this exciting camp. If you want your kids to truly enjoy something, this is definitely the place for them. Thanks Studio 8 for making my baby so happy! We'll recommend you to everyone!“

“I've been living in Union City for almost 2 years now, and let me tell you, finding a gym that suits me has been a struggle. But hey, I've been making it work by doing home workouts and going for runs. Now, I gotta give a shoutout to Jen because she's the best! I'm very happy I stumbled upon this place. The studio is super clean, and everyone there is incredibly nice and patient. The pilates class I've been taking is seriously a game-changer. It's the reason I drag me out of bed early almost every day. Plus, it's been helping me recover quickly from my marathon training. I'm telling you, I'm head over heels in love with this place. If you're on the hunt for a pilates spot, look no further. This place is exactly what you need.“
