Club Pilates

I have been going to Club Pilates Gaithersburg for a month and I already feel stronger and can notice changes in myself! All the instructors are fantastic - they are so kind and welcoming of people of all abilities, and are especially attentive to folks with injuries or limitations. I highly recommend the unlimited package as there are so many types of classes depending on your goals, plus having the unlimited package makes it easier to schedule classes on the app in advance. I always leave a class feeling energized and proud of myself, unlike some other types of workouts that can feel too intense or intimidating - Pilates seems like an overall great way to develop a healthier relationship with body image. Thank you, Claire, for a wonderful intro class that got me hooked onto Pilates!

I have tried 4 different Club Pilates now, and this one is best thus far. Debbie is phenomenal, and I have yet to encounter a Pilates instructor as good as her. The only reason I docked a star is her classes fill up way too quickly. I have also taken classes with Ana, who is also a great instructor that provides a challenging work out. If you are thinking of Pilates, take the intro class, you won't regret it.

What I love about the Gaithersburg Club Pilates are the sheer variety and number of classes that they offer. The instructors are also top notch. My go to instructors are Claire and Ana. Claire because she always incorporates classical Pilates movements and her classes go fast but controlled and you get such a complete workout. She also is a stickler about ensuring that your lower ab and other rarely used muscles are always always engaged. And as such she makes us do spring training on the reformer where we use the lowest tension spring so that we work on our deep muscles and other times we use the higher tension weights to get a deeper stretch. Ana is the other instructor I take classes from. Her classes are so much fun. She is always changing up her routines and they’re never ever boring. They are fun and challenging. She's a former dancer and in her cardio sculpt class we get to dance a bit with low pound weights her while she works our arms and booty! Lastly it was such a nice surprise to see Claudia subbing for the whole Thanksgiving week at the Gaithersburg Club Pilates. I've always loved taking her classes when she used to teach. Claudia is a natural teacher. She's one of my favorite instructors and after taking over 1500+ classes I believe I can discern the different strengths of the Club Pilates instructors. For example, her cuing is top notch. I can close my eyes and just let her voice sooth and flow me into the different moves. I hope she continues to sub when her busy schedule allows.

Club Pilates Gaithersburg is the best thing that happened to the Crown neighborhood. This location has exceptional instructors with many years of experience. These instructors can help anyone - at any level of fitness - achieve their goals. I would take advantage of the free intro class to learn more about Pilates.

I have recently joined and see significant and positive improvements in my gym workouts. I’ve taken classes with Claire who is phenomenal. I appreciate the details about what is happening to and in the body with each move. It immediately forces me to give my best. Claire is encouraging and balances humor with taking the classes seriously. She prioritizes safety and also challenges you. She is knowledgeable, patient, attentive and kind.
