“Cardio Sculpt Class Review, Monday Nov 10 at 3:30 PM**

I took a Cardio Sculpt class today at BodyRok’s Polk Street location, and I have to say—this substitute instructor was *fantastic*. From the first few minutes, my heart rate was up and the sweat was real. The cardio was sustained all the way through, and the sculpting was no joke—I felt the burn in my core, arms, and legs. This class delivered exactly what it promised: high-intensity sculpting with nonstop movement.

What really impressed me was the instructor’s attention to detail and care. Early in the class, she noticed that I and the person next to me had done an exercise on the wrong side of the body. Not only did she flag it in the moment, but later—when we repeated the move—she *remembered* and reminded us to switch sides. That kind of attentiveness is rare and deeply appreciated.

She also walked the room consistently, checking form and making sure everyone was moving safely and correctly. Her cues were clear, her energy was motivating, and she kept us informed throughout: how many sets were left, how much time remained, and how hard we should be pushing. That structure helped me stay focused and push harder, especially in the second half of class when fatigue starts to creep in.

BodyRok Polk Street continues to impress, and today’s class was a reminder that even a substitute instructor can bring excellence, precision, and care. I left feeling strong, sweaty, and grateful.“

“Justin is amazing! Takes the time and energy to understand pain points and come up with real solutions! Couldn’t recommend enough!!“

“I really enjoyed the Mighty Foundations class with Rebecca! She focuses on proper posture and alignment, offering helpful mini adjustments throughout. She’s friendly and approachable, and I left feeling great and fully stretched out. Highly recommend!“

“COREMVMT in The Castro is a sweet little Pilates cult, and I’m proud to be a card carrying member. Lisa, the owner, is basically a community-building wizard — warm, welcoming, and somehow knows everyone’s name.

Heather serves throwback R&B and a slow, controlled burn that feels spiritual.
Coach Tommy is a pop queen disguised as an instructor — you’ll beg for mercy while Britney cheers you on.
Cat brings Saturday sunshine and “torture but make it friendly” energy.

If you want strong abs, good people, and playlists that heal childhood wounds, this is your spot. Pilates, but make it Castro.“

“I’ve been coming to this Bodyrok location for almost 8 years, and it’s been incredible. I feel so much stronger, and the instructors are top-notch, always attentive to form and making sure everyone gets the most out of class. The energy, music, and overall vibe are consistently great!“

“When you decide to study the Pilates method in earnest this is one of the places you'll need to go.“

“I love Jenise! I think she’s changed my life, I’m stronger both mentally and physically after 9 months working with her. She’s a positive force and the ultimate hype woman. Her studio is a welcoming space for whatever I have going on, whether my kids tag along, my pup or my sleep deprived cranky energy is with following me around. I leave class lighter, straighter and filled with more self love. And results!!! Always fun with your husband, your colleagues and your mom start noticing your posture and/or your new booty! Thanks Jenise! Love you!“

“Fit springs are so much and effective! They are great for everybody! Jill is amazing, knowledgeable, and kind.“

“Absolutely the best dance studio around! They offer a great mix of free and paid classes, with something for everyone. The staff and instructors are incredibly friendly and welcoming.“

“I have been coming to the Pilates Story studio for the last seven years and I can honestly say that I’ve never felt better, both physically and mentally, thanks to their magic touch and genuine care. Hye-Yeon, the owner, tailors our sessions every week to suit my needs and goals.

I can’t wait to try their new yoga offering!“

“Great studio! Highly recommend. Experienced instructors, everyone has really positive energy. Strong heat and humidity, lots of mirrors and comfortable/sturdy floor.“

“I loved working with Patti at Raven! As someone recovering from chronic back pain, having someone super hands-on with form is a big deal for me, and Patti was amazing. I always felt really safe and confident in her sessions, knowing I wouldn’t hurt myself again. Plus, I felt myself getting stronger since she made sure I was using the right muscles.

The studio is nice—quiet, clean, and just you and your instructor during privates so it's easy to focus. Since moving away from SF, this is one of the things I miss the most. I even tried a new studio, and during my intro session, they were blown away by how much I knew! They kept asking where I trained and for how long. Honestly, that’s all thanks to Patti. She’s the best!“

“Dr McDonough has the perfect combination of physical therapy and Pilates skills. She not only treats any injury but gives you tools to maintain and strengthen your body. I learn techniques every session that I wish I had known earlier in life. She is an excellent clinician and teacher!“

“The Pad is a great studio! I like it because it is close to my house, parking is relatively easy and they offer many different classes everyday. I feel like post-covid, many yoga studios only offer a couple of classes a day and I appreciate having more options. It is a very calm and relaxing environment and folks of all levels are welcomed and challenged. The teachers range from very good to really freakin' awesome - there are a couple who clearly know their stuff and have a lot of experience to share.“

“The environment is very welcoming and friendly. The instructors are great and it's a fun place to go.“

“Sisters in Motion has completely changed my life.

This isn’t just a dance studio, it’s a space where I’ve reconnected with my body, built real strength, and found a supportive, inspiring community of women. I was initially nervous to try something new, but from the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, encouraged, and completely free to show up exactly as I am.

The classes are an amazing mix of movement, music, and empowerment. Whether it’s sensual flow, strength-based conditioning, or something more expressive and emotional, every class offers something unique. You get a real workout, but more than that, you leave feeling grounded, energized, and more connected to yourself.

The instructors are phenomenal, skilled, kind, and genuinely invested in your growth. They create a space that’s inclusive, non-judgmental, and FUN. I’ve seen huge shifts in both my physical strength and my confidence since starting here.

If you’re looking for a place to move, heal, grow, and be in community with other powerful women, I can’t recommend Sisters in Motion enough. It’s become a vital part of my life and well-being.“

“I took my first Pilates class more than 20 years ago, but was never able to afford more than one lesson per week in the Private model, and I always found classes to be too generic. I have dreamt of being able to find a place where I could truly learn the exercises, and The Pilates School SF is that place. I started in January of 2023 and I am forever grateful for my journey here. I have no more back pain, and have uncovered and resolved pain that was so deep inside my body, I didn't even notice it until it was gone. I have gone from feeling like I wish I knew what I was doing to being confident that I not only know what I am doing, but I know why I am doing it. I can do any exercises they put on me, and I can also design my own workouts based on what my body needs. It is incredible to know myself so well and to be able to trust myself. In addition to the Pilates, the people here are incredible. Yes, the instructors are awesome, but so are the clients. I love my classmates and feel so supported and happy whenever I am at the school. This is the best Classical Pilates in the city, and it is so affordable.“

“I had bad pain down the back of my legs and especially behind my knees. I spent a year going to doctors and to their referrals for neurology tests, MRIs, sonograms, x-rays, blood work-ups, back specialists, PT and acupuncture. Nothing helped and they could not determine what was causing the pain. I finally gave up on them and went to see Mike. He spent the time to ask me questions and analyzed my walk and posture. He worked with me on different exercises which I continue to perform daily. Within 6 sessions my pain was gone. It's been three months, and I feel great. I had spent a miserable year with pain and Mike was the only one who asked the right questions and listened when I described the pain and when I would feel it the most. I am finally able to stand and cook without pain; I can sleep through the night and again enjoy doing things I had stopped participating in due to the discomfort. Thank you, Mike!“

“After some research I waited for an assessment with Miquel & so that I can learn the proper foundations of Pilates I booked a few sessions with him to reap the full benefits. Now I have a glimpse of what Pilates is correctly (as the last time I trialed this with someone else it was not this in depth or thorough) - so it’s very core and proper form focused so that you can learn how to maneuver your body towards a pain/injury free life. I come from a mild running and strength training background so I am learning how difficult, different and how beneficial Pilates can be. I do wish I found this place sooner during my stay in the bay but none the less ever so thankful to have found them at all. A hidden gem in SF & highly recommend for anyone dealing with physical impairments needing to learn how to reset your body.“

“I came to Pilates with some hesitation – I had never tried it before and honestly thought it was “something for women.” I decided to give it a shot while going through chemo, when I was bedridden and looking for a way to rebuild strength. Over the course of more than twenty private sessions with Evan, she has helped me regain strength in my legs and the rest of my body during treatment and into remission. It’s challenged me in ways I didn’t expect, improved my posture, and given me a whole new appreciation for this form of exercise.

Evan is a real character in the best possible way. She’s done her homework to understand my condition and my limitations, and she always knows exactly how far to push me. Her adjustments are spot on – sometimes she’ll have me tweak the tiniest movement and suddenly an entirely new muscle lights up. On top of that, she’s sharp, funny, and wonderfully direct. She remembers little details from weeks earlier, isn’t afraid to be a smart-ass, and can go on rants that are both hilarious and wise. If you’re open to her sense of humor (and sometimes a little bit of colorful language), you’ll enjoy the sessions even more.

With her background as a dancer and stuntwoman, Evan brings a unique perspective and depth of experience to her teaching. The studio itself is no-frills – which I see as a plus. It’s not about chasing a “scene,” it’s about learning from someone who’s a true expert in Pilates and anatomy.

I can’t recommend Evan and Jack and Jill Pilates enough, especially if you’re serious about building strength and want someone who really knows what they’re doing.“
