Pilates on the Beach

Great Pilates studio! The place isn’t too big which makes the reformer classes feel more private with a lot of one-​on-​one time. Teachers are very knowledgeable and make sure to give each student the right amount of personal attention, correcting your form etc. Especially love Kristin’s classes! My body completely transformed — core strengthened and overall flexibility and balance have improved immensely. Highly recommend!

«Sarah Matthews is an outstanding personal pilates trainer. In short, she is exactly the right person to interface with like-​minded clients who expect and demand a dependable, reliable, hard-​working, conscientious, honest, peace-​loving, courteous fitness trainers.» So basically, easily satisfied by the best!
Cheers,

I have class pass and I’ve been here twice. The first experience was pretty good as the class was packed the place is small but the instructor was very good and made sure nobody hit anybody while doing some exercises. Now what left a very very bad taste in my mouth was the last time I went there (my second and maybe last time). With a different instructor, I see now class pass is saying I MISSED that class! I didn’t miss this class. This only proves the instructor complete lack of interest. The class was just 2 of us which could be very good almost private like if it wasn’t for the complete lack of interest from the instructor (Rachel). She just basically did the exercises herself without being within our field of vision most of the time so we couldn’t see what she was doing while she was just saying out limited instructions to us, she never bothered to see if our form was correct, not even once! I’ve been doing Pilates for a long time and this was the first time ever I’ve almost fell over, which made a noise and tho she looked at me right away and saw what happened, she didn’t even care to come and help me up or make sure I was doing it right not to injure myself, not even a word came out of her mouth she just looked at me barely alarmed, like a tortoise which is about to be hit by a car, pathetic, now my neck is killing me, first time ever I have pain from going to a Pilates class after 5 years of Pilates mat, chair, tower and reformer classes… Never again with this instructor! Not only she wasted my work out time Sunday morning, but she messed up my neck and got class pass to charge me extra $ for «missing» the class.

I enjoy coming to this Pilates studio because the staff is very welcoming and it has a great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend to all to check this place out. I leave here every time with a smile on my face and the soreness is one of the many reasons why.

I love working out here. I go 3 times a week. The instructors are friendly and very good. Try it, you will love it there.

This Pilates studio is wonderful. The location is very easy to get to and not in a busy area. The parking is right in the front of the studio. Now lets get to the good stuff. The lighting is right. The vibe and music is just right. Instructors are great. I have no complaints worth checking out. They even have classes on Sunday when most studios are closed. That is a plus.

Nice location off 51^st and alton. Balanced body reformers (pretty standard). I’ve only taken classes from Kristin (reformer and ballet barre). She is a good instructor and takes time to make corrections as needed. She asks prior to class if anyone has any injuries that she should be aware of (important and says a lot in my opinion). The studio itself is ok. The floors are kind of dirty (noticed that during ballet barre class). The classes are a little pricier than elsewhere on the beach and I wish they offered better packages (usually you get a better discount if you buy in bulk which isn’t the case here, also the do not offer an unlimited monthly package). Hopefully they will offer jumpboard in the future. Overall, I would recommend this studio and will return.

I’ve gone to a couple group classes on the reformers. Instruction is too slow and too easy… seems to be geared towards older women who are not too in shape. Even though I was clearly fit, never did an instructor suggest I add springs to suit my level of fitness. I was bored and did not get a work out :(
The space is too tight. The reformers are too close together so that certain movements such as those where you open legs to each side, cant be done –you’d hit your neighbor.
I love Pilates One in Coconut Grove and now I can say the two are completely different in every way.

This place is great for many reasons:
–The instructors are well trained and really know pilates
–Instructors are very friendly and make everyone feel comfortable and welcome
–I instantly felt comfortable here
— The studio is very small but they keep the air at a perfectly cool temperature
–I had to deduct one star because the reformers are too close together and sometimes you hit your neighbor and they also seem too small for a tall person, sometimes I feel squished or like I’m going to fall off but that’s not their fault :)
Bottomline:
This place is a great deal– good quality, friendly instructors at a decent price

Not for me! $ 85 for a private pilates class in a dirty 8×10′ room where you can hear everything from the group class going on next to you? The instructor was probably fine but it’s really hard to focus w/​all the noise going on around you. The group class sounded like a gym instructor yelling out steps to a fitness class. Not at all what I think of when I think of pilates. I must be spoiled by Lighthouse Pilates in Pacific Grove, CA! Open space, so clean you could eat off the floor ot the equipment, fresh air if you want to open a window, and blessed quiet for concentration! Still looking for private pilates instruction on the beach…

Reformer, mat & cadillac classes are all available.
The pricing is excellent. The classes are outstanding. There are several different trainers, some of whom are fast paced and some of whom are more focused on attention to detail. All are professional and well trained.
As someone who has gone through instructor training courses, I can tell you that to do Pilates correctly, you must have guidance. Staff at Pilates on the Beach find a way to give personal corrections even in group settings. Sharp eyes and insightful advice help make these the best trainers in Miami.
Everyone I have encountered at the business is kind and accommodating. The location is convenient and parking is available at meters a half a block away.
I rarely give a business five stars, but Pilates on the Beach deserves it.
