Pilates V Willow Glen

I have been going to this studio since October — I’m new to Pilates… and love it. I CRAVE going when I can’t go for a few days… i’ve been really excited about other exercise studios in the area, but then my interest wanes. this one is really make a difference in my muscle tone, flexibility, and overall well being. I’m hoping i stick to this regularly for a year… and if all continues — I may elect to do their teaching program. I love Pilates on the reformer, specifically their program and their instructors! Thank you for opening and for caring about your clientelle as much as you do! i highly highly recommend trying them out!

Best Pilates studio in the area!!! I love Pilates and have been practicing on reformers for couple of years already. I started at Pilates V in May (Sunnyvale location) and love it!!! I was very excited to find about the opening of the San Jose location, I work right my Sunnyvale studio and live by San Jose, so Pilates V is always nearby and there are always classes available. Both studios are super clean and neat, reformers and all other equipment are all in great condition. I have taken classes with most of the instructors and all are wonderful. I recommend Pilates to all my friends and Pilates V in my opinion is the best in this area.

I’ve been looking for a Pilates studio and I think I’ve found the one! I signed up for the v0 class online which is an introductory class. When I say introductory, I mean introductory! Our instructor was Grecia and she was awesome! This class is really to explain Pilates, the benefits of it and how to properly use the equipment. It’s 90% talking and 10% actually using the equipment. I think this class is great and beneficial if you are new to Pilates. The facility is super clean and the all of the equipment looks brand new. I will definitely be taking some additional intro classes and hopefully move my way up in the Pilates world.

Love this studio and love the instructors.
The only reason why I have this 4 stars instead of 5 is that sometimes the instructions given in class are complicated or inconsistent. I think I took a class with … Judy? or Julie? (or maybe that’s not even close to her name) and my friends and I were incredibly confused throughout the class.

Brand new client and newcomer to Reformer Pilates. I have just attended the V0 class/​introduction class. The equipment is meticulous and I really appreciate their attention to good form and safe use of the machines. Can’t wait to start my first V1 class. I have taken years of mat pilates class and highly encourage anyone considering the Reformer to take this introduction. The equipment and moves are so much different than I have ever experienced. I am doing the Groupon five sessions. The first class V0 is free — so definitely take that intro. I enjoyed Gracia, our instructor, and appreciate her teaching method — down to earth and welcoming.

I’ve been going to Pilates V in San Jose for about a month now after I got a five class Groupon deal and 10 for $ 100 deal. The studio is very clean and I have liked all the instructors whose classes I’ve tried. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because I wish they could offer classes at more times — a 7am class would be awesome! I don’t know if I’ll continue after my deals are done — it’s pretty costly, but I think that’s Pilates in general unfortunately.

Love this place, it’s clean and the equipment is brand new, great instruction.
Highly recommended.

I’d been doing mat Pilates for years but had never tried a Reformer, so I was really excited when Pilates V opened up in WG. They’ve got 12 brand new, beautiful Reformers in the studio, and offer classes in multiple levels, plus specialty classes like Jumpboard and a F.I.T. class that adds some serious cardio to the mix.
The classes are really fun and much harder than you might think. I feel like I’m getting a great workout every time. The instructors are knowledgeable and constantly switch up the mix so that you’re doing something different all the time. Right now, there’s a hole in their Tuesday schedule that I think will be filled once they find a new instructor. And speaking of which, they also offer teacher training, so if you want to become certified, you can. But be aware – it’s expensive (as are all Pilates cert courses).
The only downside I’ve seen so far is that sometimes the instructors don’t cue as well as they should. Given the number of positions you can get into with a reformer or chair, it can be confusing sometimes if they don’t explain what they’re expecting. But that’s a fairly minor quibble. Also, it’s expensive, around $ 20 a class – that’s standard for a Pilates studio, so they’re not more pricey than other studios, but it’s definitely a shock to the wallet if you’re used to being at a big-​box gym (which I am). I’m trying to figure out which organ I can sell so I can keep going. :-)

Pilates V has been great! I started doing Pilates when my doctor suggested it for treating my chronic joint pain. I started with three private lessons with Giselli and she was amazing! She was super knowledgable of my joint issues. She asked for feedback on how I felt with each movement and immediately knew what modifications needed to be made to ease the discomfort or how to shift my focus to work on the right muscles. She definitely put me at ease in starting a knew exercise routine and getting me and my body ready for group classes. I just started group classes this week and they have been such a great workout! Everyone has been really great and even the office team Michael and Gina were super helpful in getting me started. They got me set up with private lessons so quickly; the day I reached out to them after my doctor suggested it, they helped set me up to see Giselli that weekend. My experience with all three of them made me feel super welcome and that they really cared about my wellbeing. I’m really excited to make this place a major part of my wellness routine!

Roomy and clean. The temperature in the morning classes is quite cold — but staff is receptive to making it comfortable. Level 2 classes can be challenging. Need more level 3 and fit classes please.

I’m new to Pilates, and so glad that I decided to try it out at Pilates V. I’m hooked. It’s a great location with ample parking and, more importantly, good instructors.

I went there for the beginners class and the facility and equipment were brand new. The instructor was very nice and I would definitely come again.

I’ve been going to this location every since opening week. Location is convenient, equipment is clean and new, and the instructors are helpful and avoid giving the same set of workouts over and over. I especially like classes with Judy and Giselli, but really all the instructors are cool! Would give 5 stars but the class schedule isn’t as exhaustive as I’d like.

I signed up with Pilates V using a Groupon and it has been the best pilates experience I have had taking pilates. The instructors are great and the classes are not too large. I like how weights, bosus, and mat are included in the workouts. I see a difference in my body. I love the classes and will continue to take them. Best money spent in a long time.

I’ve been taking classes through Pilates V 2 – 3 times per week for about a month (11 classes total). I love it! I’m still taking v1 classes, but I’ve already noticed a huge improvement in my overall strength. I’m training for a marathon, and I’m going to stick with Pilates V as my strength routine. I’m able to get strength, stretching, and convenient studio in one.
When I was considering looking for a pilates studio with reformers, there were a lot of mixed reviews about studios that made you share a reformer or an instructor that did a workout while teaching the class. I decided to give Pilates V a shot because they had a great offer (free v0 class, plus 5 class for $ 49).
I was pleased that there are 12 reformers and a maximum of 12 students. All of the teachers are great (Judy is my favorite). With a small class size, you get a lot of attention if you need it. The classes are always different, and you work muscle groups several times in different ways.
Another thing that’s great about Pilates V is the parking. The fitness studios on Lincoln rarely have parking, but Pilates V shares a large parking lot. I’ve been able to find a close parking spot every class.

I’ve been going to this pilates studio for 2 months now and I love it!
Instructors:
— I love Giselli’s Sat/​Sun morning V2 classes. It is the kick I need to get my day started! She does bursts and you can really feel the burn!
— Judy’s style is totally different and I like to take her evening classes, because she has a soothing voice that totally relaxes me.

I started in Sunnyvale location and I have been with Pilates V for about 6 months. The new San Jose location is nice and clean, however there is no V3 class at this location, and V2 classes are being dropped as well. Understood the V1 classes are needed to attract the new clients, but as an existing and loyal customer I am frustrated to see there is no class fitting in my schedule.

Really enjoying the classes here! The instructors have been very nice and helpful with form. I started with their groupon deal and plan to continue!

Pilates V has opened up a location closer to my home, and it’s a great facility with a knowledgeable, attentive instructor: Judy.
There are more reformers at this location than the Sunnyvale location to accommodate bigger classes. However, don’t worry about hearing the instructor since they have a microphone system to hear all instructions clearly.
Judy pays special attention to clients who need modified movements to accommodate precious injuries.
Be sure to take advantage of the grand opening special to get a great foundation in Pilates technique and come back for more!

Much bigger than the Sunnyvale studio, I like it and am taking advantage of the 10 classes for $ 99 deal they have going on right now. :-)
