About Club Pilates
Club Pilates James Island is a Pilates studio that offers reformer fusion classes for people of all ages and fitness levels. The studio is dedicated to Joseph Pilates' original Reformer-based Contrology Method, but it has been updated with group practice and modern equipment. The classes are challenging yet doable, and the instructors are attentive and helpful, ensuring that students maintain correct form. The studio has 12 reformers and offers classes from 7am to 7pm, but it is recommended to schedule a week in advance due to the popularity of the studio. The studio provides a free class for newcomers and has a welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff and teachers. Students are required to wear grippy socks during classes, which can be purchased at the studio or from Amazon for a more affordable price. Parking is convenient, but it may be difficult to access the lot during traffic backups on 17 and Main. Overall, Club Pilates James Island offers high-quality Pilates training at an affordable price, making it a popular and recommended option for those looking for a fun and effective way to exercise.
I always leave asking did I even workout or was that a waste of an hour??.. I wish I could take a level 2 class, but they require 30-60 level 1 classes before you can move up, even if you have past experience at other pilates places.. This could be OK for people who just want to lightly move their body, but if you're looking for results or a real workout, I don't think its worth it.
I really enjoy going to this studio! You do have to schedule in advance to grab a spot but I can usually get whatever spots I want about 5-7 days out. Parking is super easy in the center it's in but if there's a wreck/backup at 17 and Main, it becomes super hard to get into the lot (nothing the business can handle, just a heads up for planning). The classes have all been challenging but doable and the instructors are all great.
There are 12 reformers, and most classes are filled. The instructors do a good job of keeping an eye out and correcting any mistakes.Over the past 3-4 months they have added classes so that there is an instructor there 7am-7pm, but you must schedule your class at least a week in advance to get a spot.That just goes to show how popular and good the studio is!
