“If you want the best in Pilates, this is your place. Too many pilates classes are taught by untrained instructors. Carolyn was trained by one of the original pilates teachers. She meets you where you are and works with you. She's smart & charming and unlike so many storefront pilates places, she knows the human body. She keeps you flexible and in shape. You won't find anyone better.”

“I have been going to Truve for classes since 2017 and I remain a loyal fan. Classes I have taken include TRX, dance, various iterations of Bootcamp and HIIT. The instructors are now friends after all this time. Come and check it out”
“I cannot emphasize how pleased I am with the care I got here. Dr Kim Colon really helped me with the initial diagnosis and figuring out the best care plan for my PPPD. For almost a year I was struggling with Balance Issues and had stopped doing any sorts of physical activity. Carly was an amazing Physical Therapist and was super knowledgeable on my Vestibular issues and helped me regain my balance and confidence. I can easily do so many activities I was depriving myself of and I am so happy I found this place on Veda wesbite.”
“At Club Pilates Pleasant Hill the atmosphere is very calm. The instructor and staff were referring kind and knowledgeable and professional. It’s also very clean which I like a great deal.”
“Amazing teachers and great vibe - very much recommended. Great value vs other gyms as well. I wasn't familiar with Bikram Yoga prior although I practiced many other forms of Yoga. The heated space really up levels the experience and I can totally let go and really engage with my body in a healthy way. Teacher's provide a great balance in which you're "pushed" only so far you're getting the best out of yourself including honoring you're own limits. Overall very much recommended!”
“Forma Gym has excellent workout classes with outstanding instructors. Wide variation of classes, Yoga, TRX, Bar, Spin Cycling, Band, Balance, etc. Staff is friendly, cleaning staff does excellent job with classiness.”
“Check out Isabella's Yin and Sound healing classes. I have loved her energy and talents so much. Consistently good experience in any class or experience I've had with Isabella - thank you”
“Saw Dr. Ban for my Neck and Back but she improved so much more! Dr. Ban is an incredibly knowledgeable and attentive healer! She gets to know you and the issues that you may have whether you realize them or not. Honestly, I didn't even realize how good my neck could feel until after she worked her magic! Also was fit for a pillow by Dr. Ban, my wife loved it so much she stole it an now need to get another one with Dr. Ban! Highly Recommend her care!”
“Great studio, great menu of classes to take, and some awesome teachers including Kay and Moses. Very well run and managed by Dash and his team. A special shout-out to Danielle's Inferno Hot Pilates class which is incredible. Danielle is such a talent. She's funny and entertaining while really pushing her students to give their very best. A great teacher for any level of practitioner, she is able to make a special connection with each and every student. Highly recommended all around.”
“I have been taken class for over three years. Love the positive energy each class brings to me .all the instructors are amazing.”
“Sorry forgot photos but my experience was excellent. Had two classes so experiences two instructors... Lori and Lauren. Both were kind, dynamic, managed multiple skill levels at the same time. I really like the studio on Ashby... Seemed clean, light filled. They had loaner grip socks, which was nice and also an espresso machine for a free latte. There is some local parking for two hours.about $42 per class.”
“Love everything about this yoga studio! The lobby/shop is so inviting and the merch is all gorgeous (books, crystals, pillows, clothes, jewelry, tarot cards, beautiful handmade gift cards). The teachers are excellent and care about form and watch the students to help them improve.”
“Just love it! Finally an exercise session that I actually enjoy! My back stopped hurting, legs and arms got stronger, stomach looks flatter. I am in my early 50s, and find these session very beneficial. The staff is super knowledgeable, everyone is vetted by the owner and Pilates guru - Holly. The class size is small - five spots. I would definitely recommend.”
“I found it! I was looking for a boutique gym that had all the serious resistance training equipment and knowledgeable trainers, yet also some quieter spaces for individual workouts, and maybe some group classes. I wanted a certain “feel” that wasn’t meat-head centric, yet serious about working out. I wanted clean, inviting, and professional, yet kind and personable. Well, I got all of that and more at RISE. In additional to the weight training and group classes, they have several personal trainers to choose from, massage therapists, chiropractic care, sauna and cold plunge use. Their prices are very reasonable and the parking is easy. The front desk staff are always upbeat and kind. And if you’re lucky enough to see Diane, she’ll likely great you by name; every time. I did my homework, I looked at several gyms in the Bay Area, and I am happy to say I have found my place (and my personal trainer, Gernard, and massage therapist, Taylor - they are both amazing!!). I highly recommend RISE.”
“Vita is hands down the best studio that I have been to in the East Bay. The studio itself is bright, clean and beautiful. The instructors are very kind and qualified and the owner, Katy, is absolutely amazing. I also enjoy the community culture aspect of this studio. It’s very welcoming and I have felt comfortable and supported as I am acclimating back to strength training. 10/10 recommend”
“I've been getting facials with Chris for over a year now and I couldn't be happier to have her in charge of my skin care! Chris is knowledgeable in dealing with many different skin issues (acne, dark spots, dry skin) and I always walk out of her studio with that "snatched" face look. I love that Chris is always bringing the latest technology into her studio, now offering micro-derm and micro-current treatments. I feel like my skin has never looked better!”
“i LOVE taking pilates from Anya. She tailors each session to my pain points (hips, back, and feet), makes micro-adjustments to maximize each movement, and balances strengthening with stretching. My body feels so much better after each session! She also incorporates massage (if you'd like) and offers meditative/wellness advice (if you ask) - based on your interest. Not to mention, she's lovely to talk to and easy to get along with. And her studio is peaceful with a variety of equipment. I feel very lucky I found her!”
“Kelly is truly the very best of the best. I have been seeing her for over a year now for support in my postpartum experience as well as in my second pregnancy. Her office is serene and the minute you walk in, you are instantly at ease. I initially booked a private Pilates session and in our talk prior to getting started, we pivoted and did an acupuncture session to address my underlying concerns. Kelly took the time to hear what I needed in that moment and, without hesitation, made the change. Kelly has supported me in my hardest moments of postpartum and pregnancy and I truly cannot imagine life without her anymore.”
“Wow ?"I had an incredible experience at the Hot Yoga studio. As a yoga instructor myself, I'm always seeking ways to deepen my practice and reconnect with mindfulness. This studio provided the perfect environment for both. The heat intensified the challenge, pushing me to explore my limits and find new depths in each pose. The instructors were knowledgeable, supportive, and offered gentle guidance to help me refine my practice. The atmosphere was calming yet energizing, creating a space where I could truly immerse myself in the practice. I left each session feeling rejuvenated, centered, and inspired to continue my yoga journey. Highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to take their practice to the next level!"”
“This is my favorite pilates studio in the East Bay. Bonnie (the owner), Sarah (my instructor), and all the instructors customize classes based on client needs. I am a lot stronger, more flexible, and my migraine headaches gave improved since working with Sarah. I really appreciate her attention to detail, challenging me to try harder techniques and perfecting what I know, and for all the encouragement she gives me in my daily life.”
“Excellent classes, super friendly and helpful staff, and excellent teachers (Kate is amazing)”
“Gloria was amazing at the front desk! She was patient and explained my question in detail. I really appreciate her customer service. We just signed up and I’m glad she assisted me with kindness and care. Great customer service Gloria!”
