Pilates near Menlo Park

“I LOVE the xformer machine (it's by far my favorite) and there's only a few studios out here that use it. MPX was the closest studio to me so I tried them out first, and I'm so happy I did! I love their class format and their instructors! Granted, I've only taken it with one instructor so far but she's incredibly talented - she's patient, kind, mindful of everyone's differences (in terms of level/comfort/strength), explains proper form and how to engage different muscles (e.g., if you want to make an exercise more quad dominant vs glutes), and never forgets if there's someone in class that has a limitation and/or needs a modification due to an injury. I've tried a few other studios around here and the only thing they have over this one is better packages ($savings). If you can afford to splurge a little, choose this studio (sign up now!). I promise you won't regret it.“

“Beautiful studio and great instructors! I recently took my first class with Krystal and loved it.“

“This is a review for the Pilates studio which opened in January 2024. The teachers are the PTs from the attached physical therapy office, which really gave me confidence in starting to work out after recovery from a longstanding injury. And the teachers are all consistently excellent -- I believe I've taken classes with all but one and I have never had a class that I didn't come out of feeling amazing. The equipment is extensive -- reformers, chairs, spring board/wall, and all sorts of other devices at the ready -- and kept clean and in great shape. 8 reformers in the studio so classes stay small. It's perfect!!“

“I have been a student of Teresa's BoneSmart Pilates for six years, starting with her DVDs and then graduating to her website where I have taken several virtual classes, and then joined the BoneSmart Movement Library and Burst classes on demand. Teresa is a highly qualified, certified instructor who is always emphasizing safety first and provides a wide range of exercises for all ages and abilities, including women with osteoporosis. I love the Library because it offers so many options to choose from - dance, restorative Pilates, one hour or 30 minute sessions, and so much more, and is available anytime I want to exercise. The short "bursts" are easy to work into my daily life as they only take about 10 minutes to do and are always fun.However, the best thing about BoneSmart Pilates is Teresa - she is dedicated to excellence and her classes are always joyful, challenging and never boring. I am so grateful to be part of this very special community.“

“I've been studying Pilates with Harriet for over 20 years. The changes I have experienced in my body are dramatic. I have more strength, flexibility and better posture than I did 20 years ago. As well, I have increased my bone density per my latest Dexa scan.Pilates is not just an exercise, but an art form. I had studied with another studio before I found Harriet, and she transformed my practice from good to great. Her body awareness, intuition, and ability to bring a wealth of knowledge from other disciplines into her teaching is unique.Harriet has an uncanny ability to see what I'm doing with my body even through baggy clothing and give me queues to correct my form and activate the right muscles to perform the exercise for the most benefit..Every session is tailored to give me just what I need that day. I can't recommend Harriet enough for anyone who wants to take their Pilates experience to the next level.“

“This week, I tried Pilates for the first time at RockSalt Studio in Redwood City. My friend dragged me out of bed at 6:00 AM for this adventure haha. Luckily, finding parking was a breeze since it was early. Walking into the studio, I was blown away by how clean and cozy it was. The instructor gave us a warm welcome, setting the vibe for the whole class. She explained everything in a way that even newbies like me could understand, which was a huge relief. What I loved most was how chill the class was. I didn't feel pressured to keep up with everyone else; I could go at my own pace. The instructor was so positive and helpful, always making sure I was doing the moves right. Plus, the equipment was top-notch and easy to use. After the class, I couldn't wait to come back for more. It was such a great experience, and I'm already looking forward to my next session.“

“Reach is incredible. I was in a pretty fragile place, and I needed something completely different from anything I'd ever done before. I needed something new; something that wouldn't allow me to compare myself to what I used to be able to do, and get more discouraged. I signed up for the three intro classes with Zoe. From the moment I got there, I felt welcomed, listened-to, and encouraged. I've since taken classes with Zoe, Marion, Tracy, and Kathleen. They each have their own style of teaching, and each one is excellent, exceeding every expectation. The atmosphere is professional yet relaxed, and the instruction is second to none. Impeccable all around. This place is truly wonderful; thank you for all you do!!!!“

“The best yoga studio!! Great teachers, other clients, and venue Theresa is the best on Friday evenings, but they all r great!!“

“Bonne is a great instructor that makes every pilates session special. I feel so energized and am so much looking forward to her next class.“

“Amazing place! I have been going for over a year and have seen my lower back pain and overall flexibility and strength improve greatly over that time. Instruction is top notch and attention to my personal growth is central to every session.“

“I see Vicki for massage, she is nice and has literally become a friend when i come in that I feel comfortable talking too. She is great at massage and I look forward to every appointment I make with her. Thanks Vicki for being you and making my aching bones not ache . Karen“

“The quality of the instructors and equipment they use here is top-notch. Many of the teachers are physical therapists, and all have a long history of teaching and practicing Pilates, which really comes through in how they deliver their instructions. I appreciate how focused they are on ensuring each student uses proper form in class and how they teach you to understand the mind-body-breath work connection.“

“Amazing staff and location. Wish list: More parking and larger studio. Better temp and lighting would help with ambiance.“

“I took their 60 min Hot PIlates class and it was very challenging with the heat. At this point, I have only done two hot yoga classes also at the same temperature of 105-110 degrees but doing pilates in that level of humidity and heat is a whole other story. The studio is very spacious and I have not sweated so much in my life until this class. I could really feel the heat continue to compound for me at the last 20 mins of class. It provided a good opportunity to keep pushing through and get through every single exercise and rep the new instructor was providing. Lastly, the new instructor was extremely friendly and helpful. She let me know how to improve my form for a few exercises.“

“This review is to specifically offer my gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding customer service provided by Casey during our recent visit to Bay Club Redwood Shores. Casey was incredibly friendly, diligent, and patient throughout our visit, and ensured we had a thorough visit of all of the club's amenities, and answered all our questions pertaining to the site/membership. She far exceeded my family's expectations, which resulted in us joining the club, which appeared to be in the midst of many promising upgrades, as well as offering a host of activities for the family. Thank you again to Casey for her wonderful support.“
