Took a Calisthenics class with Brianne and loved the class!
The instructor and classmates were super nice. The class size was small. The instructor corrected our forms for every exercise. The class was a little challenging but it felt so good!

I had my first private session with Stacey today and she is AMAZING! I am pregnant so I have not been working out and have been kind of scared to get back into. However, her expertise in Pilates and explaining everything pre and postnatal is impressive. I cannot wait for my next session! I highly recommend Stacey and the Pilates gym in general!

Even though i have purchased day passes and enjoyed working out there, last week I noticed that my credit card was over it's credit limit, after investigating I found out that Sierra Fitness charged me thousands of dollars on my credit card. I called and had to play the telephone tango until a manager called me back, when I explained the situation she told me that I had bought a trainer class package worth thousands of dollars for a person I don't know. I corrected her and explained that I didn't know this person, she said that she would credit my account back. Days later my account is still overdrawn, on the card I used for Christmas Shopping (for airline miles). Apparently according to the bank, I will have to wait several days for the credit to go through, meanwhile my statement was filed and it has impacted my credit. Beware, They don't seem trustworthy with member credit card information. Nobody from management has contacted me to explain how a random person could charge thousands of dollars to another members account without checking first.

Love the Pilates classes, the studio, ALL the teachers, and fellow students. Sierra Fitness is a great place to workout! Plus the teachers are interested in each person's fitness journey and will work around injuries. It's been a long year of rehab for my back injury but Pilates was the ticket.

I just completed three private sessions with Gabby and I couldn't be happier with my experience. She has a background in nursing and physical therapy, just the skill set I need to help me unfreeze my couch-potato body and recover my flexibility and strength. There is nothing like a workout on a Pilates reformer apparatus to feel alive - Gabby knows how to make me feel wonderfully energized after each session, not sore and damaged. I trust her expertise and look forward to our continued partnership in the coming months.

I just completed my third private training session with Gabby and I couldn't be happier with my experience. I've been sitting on the sofa for far too long and it's time to get active again. Gabby has a background in nursing and physical therapy and knows exactly how to lead me through an hour-long session that leaves me feeling energized, not sore and damaged. She will continue to help me with one-on-one, assisted-stretching sessions while I enjoy Pilates, core fitness, and yoga classes to build my strength and improve my flexibility. Sierra Fitness has that charming Sierra Madre vibe and I'm looking forward to more gym time. Now that I'm back to my college weight, Sierra Fitness will help me recover a sculpted midsection and perky bum!

The gym currently only allows vaccinated members to attend the facility. I find this to be full on segregation. #1 I am unvaccinated, I have had Covid, and I have recovered. I now carry the natural antibodies so, I can either transmit it or be a receiver of the virus. #2. If they believe their vaccine works.. then what's the point of excluding those who are unvaccinated? It's a proven FACT those who are vaccinated have been shown to be able to both transmit and become ill with the virus regardless of their "vaccination" S#3 So, since The vaccinated community can both transmit the virus to each other what does it matter if they were to contract it from a vaccinated person or an unvaccinated person, and if an unvaccinated person is willing to except the risk of being unvaccinated shouldn't they have a right to do? #4 It's as if this establishment has just decided to be biased towards people having a right to decide what they want to do with their bodies, so, if you don't comply with their narrative or agenda you're excluded. This looks an awful lot like prejudice and bullying to me. #5 I will conclude with one file statement.. you claim to be a fitness center, under that heading alone I should think your approach to life and health, and wellness Would be one more holistic. Poor form .

After running 6+ miles daily outdoors for 18 months during the pandemic I came to Sandy with a torn IT band, tight hips and lower back issues. I hadn't slept comfortably in months. At my doctors recommendation (post MRI), I sought out pilates classes to compliment my rehab. I have been taking Sandy's Pro Pilates classes 4 days a week and Classic Pilates 1-2 days a week. Both pilates classes use reformers (not mat classes). I love the Pro Pilates. It's a killer low impact workout that does not strain my back or stress my body in a harmful manner. Because of Pro, I will never go back to a bootcamp again. The Pro Pilates should actually be called "The Waist Cincher." The Classic classes stretch and align- but don't be fooled- they are tough! After 6 months of sticking to Sierra Fitness Pilates classes I am back to running 6 miles every other day and running long distances on weekends- pain free and my pace is slowly creeping back up to my top conditioning times. I am sleeping better and no longer have hip pain and only mild back discomfort (due to normal wear and tear). Physically, my body is stronger and toned. Fitness has been Sandy's craft for a long time and she knows what she is doing. She and her staff have handled my rehab with care all while still challenging me to improve my balance, fitness and flexibility. Final great thing...many Pilates classes in Monrovia and Pasadena begin classes after 8am. That just doesn't work and is so out of touch. Pro Pilates classes begin daily at 5:30 am. This works for me as I am a working mom that needs to get in my daily workout regiment before my household wakes up, take my child to school and go to a physical office.
