Our studio features group classes with 7-10 people, private lessons, and dedicated rooms for barre and Cadillac Pilates, perfect for working professionals and fitness enthusiasts seeking a high-quality, low-key experience. With amenities like showers, lockers, and friendly, knowledgeable instructors, we provide a welcoming space to enhance your Pilates journey.
Amazing experience with classical Pilates! I really loved my instructor Alaina in the morning mixed levels class. She was so attentive, kind, and detail oriented - I felt like I learned a lot. I’m surprised that we have such a big, amazing studio right downtown. Definitely stop by when you have a chance, it’s worth it! Bonus is that they have showers and private lessons too
What a pretty, clean, and welcoming studio!! This place deserves way more attendance and publicity as a newly opened pilates studio in Embarcadero. As a hobbyist who has been exploring Pilates classes in SF for over a year, I had my intro class this morning with Amy for intermediate reformer, and will definitely be coming back as prep for my STOTT teacher certification course next spring. Perfect for young working professionals in San Francisco, or any ladies (or guys) seeking a high-quality, low-key, classic learning environment to up their pilates game. Location: the Embaracadero malls are elegant, refreshing, and perfect for weekends in the city with lots of cute little shops nearby. You can easily walk to Rosalind's Bakery, or the Ferry Building after class for a post-workout danish or matcha latte! Studio: clean, simple, well-lit, and spacious. Brand-new Merrithew reformer machines with pretty black and white straps. More calming, modern and high-quality than Club Pilates; less "crossfit for Instagram influencers" than Lagree or Solidcore. Workout: because I prefer doing cardio & strength training separately, I love that this is a true reformer pilates class, not a cardio-HIIT-strength-pilates hybrid. I'm able to focus on cardio and strength at my gym, while in my class at Elevate I can focus on form, stretching, and posture. Instructor & lesson format: The instructor was very knowledgeable, patient, and kind! As someone who finds private lessons too intimate (and expensive), and mass market classes a little overwhelming, the 7-10 person group class at Elevate Pilates struck the perfect balance. Facilities: clean and spacious showers, lockers, and bathrooms for men and women onsite; with separate studio rooms for barre and pilates. I was really excited to see they had dedicated equipment and rooms for barrels and cadillac pilates. Overall, this place feels modern and welcoming, and leans professional rather than trendy. Please come out and show your support for this newly opened independent gem!
Love Elevate! Have been going here around 4 times a week for the last month and a half and it is easily one of my favorite parts of the day. I hadn’t been great about consistently working out since I had my daughter 2 years ago, and this has been an amazing studio to come work to get back in shape without feeling self-conscious or intimidated as I work back up to it. Special shout outs to Alaina and Kate who are just the absolute best. And of course the amazing studio owner, Katie who goes above and beyond to make the studio and experience amazing.
Finally a big and spacious pilates studio! I attended their open house and instructors walked me through how to use the reformers. Equipment is brand new which is a huge plus! The bathrooms were clean with lots of free lockers and multiple showers. Super excited that they have noon and evening classes so that I can come by during my lunch break or after work!!
Beautiful and spacious studio with friendly staff. Easy location to bus 🚌 to/from. I enjoyed my 1st class ($5!), and worked up a sweat while the instructor gently challenged me. 😅
