Sanctuary 7 Pilates

I love to come at Santuary 7 I start doing pilate with Nicole and she is great… and then I enjoy the spinning classes and i also feel great… and everyone are very friendly and the place its very clean and they have also a very good juice bar! thank you Santuary Team

It was my second time taking the Saturday morning Pilates taught by the lovely Katy. The class is challenging but you leave feeling rejuvenated. The next day you know you have worked every muscle thoroughly. The only negative I have about the class is that it starts early at 9:30am but it’s worth it.

This is best place for those serious about fitness and flexibility. I have been training with Nicole for over 15 years and she is the best diagnostician and trainer in the business. Space you haven’t done Pilates unless you I trained with her. The facility is up to date with the best equipment spotless has changing rooms and shower math classes and spinning. It is even a juice bar and a hair salon. If you haven’t tried it what are you waiting for?

Anything less than 5 Stars would just be cheating on myself! I have been involved in all aspects of health, fitness, and nutrition for about 15 years, and I know from my own personal journey they go hand in hand. Sanctuary 7 was and is the answer to my prayers, wishes, dreams.
Moving to the Coral Way area over 2 years ago left me searching for that perfect special place to meet my fitness goals, and the people that make us FEEL all around. Is there such a place, is there such a person? After trying several places, sad about falling behind on the promise I made to never give up, I found it! Sanctuary 7, a place that not only is clean and has everything one could hope for, but also provides the all-​around perfect workout options, spinning for cardio & endurance (crazy love, the music Tuesday instructor plays), Pilates for strength & toning, AND this place is PRETTY !! Oh, don’t worry guys love this place too !! Nicole, the owner sees to it personally, her classes like the Pilates Reformer are not only kick-​ass powerful but she’s incredibly charismatic, and entertaining, we are laughing and feeling great while sweating profusely. There is a Juice Bar with the best service and quality ingredients, thanks to Ana Maria, that’s dinner for me sometimes. A full service Hair & Nail Salon, a shop with cute trendy clothing, also Acupuncture and Massage by appointment if needed. All the people and instructors are helpful, friendly as well as professional. If I would not have found this my Sanctuary (7), I would say it was Shangri-​La.

My gym experience is usually this: Pay for membership-​go once-​never go again-​hate myself. So it’s a big deal that I actually feel like going to Sanctuary 7 Pilates at least twice a week. It’s clean, the atmosphere is lovely/​warm and the classes are hard. And then there’s Nicole who makes the hour on the torture, I mean Pilates machines go super fast with her mix of Spanglish, blue jokes and caring oversight. Natalie and Kristen on mats are also great, engaging instructors that mix things up. Finally, I can’t forget to recommend the little hair/​nail salon in the back where Charles is a standout hair stylist. There’s also a juice bar and spinning classes but I haven’t tried those.

Almost 6 years after my first visit and the place is still 5-​star worthy: Treat clients like gold, kick-​ass instructors, facilities super clean and reasonable prices for the classes.

The person behind this amazing place, Nicole is THE reason why I have been able to avoid back surgery for over a decade and still be able to remain very active. I am eternally grateful to this woman and her amazing talents. Sanctuary 7 is by far and away nothing like any other Pilate studio you may have tried. And if you suffer from any physical ailment, Nicole can help.

I give all the credit to Natalie at Sanctuary 7 for dramatically improving my quality of life. Serious lower back pain and sciatica pretty much cured. The exception being when I miss too many sessions in a row.
I would highly recommend the studio to anyone looking for knowledgeable, highly skilled Pilates masters that are capable of providing expert therapeutic treatment.
The studio and staff are exceptional. You need to try the spinach and banana/​cinnamon smoothie at the Jus Bar, good, good stuff.

I stumbled upon this gym on accident while I was looking for another place. I took the machine Pilates class with Nikki. She was extremely helpful since it was my first time. The class was challenging, but her jokes made it feel less painful. The other students were also nice and willing to help. Too bad I don’t live in Miami so I can take it more often!

I’ve been doing pilates for about a year here and I LOVE IT! Amazing instructors that constantly challenge you and your body! They also have a great juice bar for your pre or post workouts. A must for pilates enthusiasts!

Sanctuary seven has been my pilates place for about 6 years… this is family to me.
I get a real workout every time. Nicole has a the best sense of humor that makes the time pass quickly and making each session unique. She’s full of energy, care and love.
The studio is professional, super clean and inviting. The adorable Maytee will help you to book your class. There you will find from a therapist, beauty salon, acupuncture or the delicious juice bar. Everyone will know your name after your first class.
This is THE BEST place in Miami for Pilates!

I have been going to this gym for about a year and I absolutely love everything about it. Nicole (the owner) is always there which is a good sign and probably why everyone is always on their toes! The place is VERY clean from the floor in pilates studio to the showers and restrooms, the atmosphere is key for me — very relaxed and welcoming (until you get in a class) .
I really only have three things I would change: there is no water fountain to refill your water bottle, I do not care for the Saturday morning (9am) instructor, I don’t feel like I am getting a good enough work out for a weekend morning. Also, I am a 5:45pm person, would love to see that spin class option Tuesday & Thursdays too.
Overall, my small cons wouldn’t change my 5 stars — this gym is superb.

One of the few things I miss about Miami is Natalie. She knows what she’s doing. I’ve always been active and started Pilates after I tore a disc in my back doing crossfit (like a moron). I was incredibly skeptical about pilates.
NEVER has my stomach been as flat and have I been as lean as I was when I was doing Pialtes 3 – 4 times a week with Natalie. She’s the absolute best!

Cant say enough great things. I have tried at least 8 spinning places in the past, including Sports Club LA, Equinox and other exclusive studios and this is the best spinning studio I have been to. The instructors are great, specially Nicole, David, Charles, Shawn, Billy and Lloyd. I have tried them all and those are my favorites. Yes, the bikes are not all new, there is no water fountain but the work out is amazing. Pilates is good too but I see better results with spinning. I only wish they offered classes during the mid morning!

I love this place !!! I have already lost 13lbs taking spinning classes 3 times a week … what I love most is that I look forward to going everytime! All the teachers are fantastice but my favorite teacher is Lloyd he plays the best music and really makes me work it!

I have been there a few times on Saturday with a friends that goes there for both Spinning and Pilates. I love the spinning class on Saturdays. The instructors are friendly and play great music. I wish I lived close by to go more often.

The best place in Miami for Pilates. I love the motivational instructors, especially Nicole and Charles. They are pros. My husband and I go to spinning and I go to the pulley suspension classes. They are both an excellent work out and worth the money. Prices are fair for the services and attention provided. They have showers too along with some beauty boutiques. I love their schedules– great times for those who have a work schedule and need to fit in exercise.

Most amazing gym in Miami! They offer suspension pilates, spinning and much more. The owner, Nicole, is a gem; she’s wonderful, funny and makes her customers feel like they’re family. They even won Best Gym by the Miami New Times this year. Amazing place!

Sanctuary 7 has been my gym for about a year now. It’s beautiful, clean and the staff makes an effort to know their members. That’s already more than I can say about any other gym that I’ve been to in Miami.
If you’re new to Pilates (as I was) or spinning, they’ll let the instructor know and you’ll get any help you may need. I’ve made a lot of progress in the last year but I still find the classes to be challenging so don’t worry if you’re not a beginner — they’ll make you hurt.
I could write a whole review on Natalie alone, the main Pilates instructor — she’s amazing. She has a way of being everywhere at once. Even if she’s on the other side of the room, or even outside of the room, she’ll notice if your form is off and call you on it. Nicole, the owner, has more energy than everyone you’ve ever met combined — she’ll make you a believer.
The spinning classes are mostly great. I haven’t had a chance to try out classes from each instructor because their scheduling isn’t great for 9−5er’s like myself. That’d be my only real criticism. The morning spinning classes aren’t early enough for you to get home, shower and still make it to work so you’re left with the afternoon classes. The only days that those are really convenient are Tuesday and Wednesday. There is a mat/​spinning combo class which I love on Monday but it starts at 5:15 so unless you work within walking distance, you’ll be late. The Saturday mat and spinning classes are great.

Thanks to Shawn P I was able to try the spinning class and it was great! Even though I arrived a lil late, Shawn did kick my lil butt. Everyone comes out of the class hurting… in a good way!
Hours on Saturdays are 10:00am…he will make you sweat off all that alcohol you drank the night before! totally great workout!
