Best pilates studios in Phoenix: find options near you

my favorite heated pilates! and i’ve tried sooo many! the energy is always high in these classes because the instructors clearly love what they’re doing. my favorites are always sara and chandlor!!

I LOVE body alive! I’ve always loved moving my body and have tried different forms of Pilates but this has been my favorite hands down! I have never been committed to a studio and when I went to just a couple of classes during my trial, it was almost immediate that I knew this was going to be my forever studio. I can’t stress enough how much of a welcoming environment it is. I truly love going to Pilates here, if I could I would come every day.

Had been wanting to take some sort of class to be consistent with working out. I Heard about this place through a Friend and they have some great deals for first timers. The instructors are so helpful and super friendly they definitely make you feel welcome. I’m hooked on Hot Mat Pilates because of Chandler and Logan! 50 classes in! I recommend BodyAlive to everyone.

First lots of positives, Ive had 3 different instructors, and they were all amazing, full of energy and class was fun and challenging. Music selection is fantastic; everyone is friendly and super engaging in the class. They are offering a killer deal which i took advantage of and location is great. My only issue, I’m not sure now they clean studio in between classes, there’s so much sweat all over the floor and it has a funky smell it was hard to walk in one day. Ive taken many hot classes at other places in the past that didn’t have that lingering body funk in the air. But i will still go back because the workouts are amazing.

Hot Pilates has become a genuine game-changer for me — I mean it. It’s 45 minutes, the classes move fast, the energy stays high the whole time, and before you know it it’s over and you’re dripping and feeling incredible. I go 5-6 days a week, which should say enough. The instructors are the real reason this place works. They give form reminders and bring real encouragement throughout. Chandlor, Logan, Mikala, and Lexi are exceptional — they bring the kind of energy that makes a tough class something I actually look forward to. I haven’t worked with every instructor, but those ones are awesome. The vibe in the room is welcoming and inclusive. All levels, all ages, no judgment. You just show up and do the work. After six weeks my core is stronger and the fat loss is real. Hot Pilates keeps my heart rate in the fat-burning zone. This place just gets it right.

Best community, studio and instructors. If you’ve been wondering what the hype is about-come check it out. You will feel all the support, love and inspiration that fill this little gem.

Amazing! Hardest Pilates class I’ve ever been to! My body always feels so good after I’ve noticed such a big difference in my strength! Everyone is so kind and amazing!

I took Sylvia and Annabelle’s spin class and it was such a perfect start to my day. Sylvia was so kind helping me with my shoes making sure I was set up well to enjoy class and both instructors brought such a beautiful energy to the room. Will definitely be back and highly recommend their class to anyone looking to brighten their day 🙂

Here’s to trying new places in the new year! SOC is less than 2 miles from home and never been here. I hit the Thursday/6:30 pm class taught by Justin & it was just right. Super chill. This class can be challenging if you choose to…per the instructor: “do it or don’t.” LMAO. Loved the space & vibe & so appreciated setting up next to a friendly regular who I could follow when I wasn’t sure what the pose was. I dig the community/neighborhood feel too!

Fantastic studio! Yoga instructors are encouraging to new students and veterans alike. They offer a wide variety of flows around a Vinyasa core which make each class unique. Cannot recommend enough!

Nice and clean studio! I took a spin class with Aannabelle and she was amazing! The class was welcoming to beginners but still an advanced workout. I highly recommend

I was in AZ visiting from Portland and the classes were phenomenal! I had results in my body in just a few months of going there. Great workouts!

Such a great studio! Popped in on a weekend visit to Phoenix and had a fabulous class with Emma. The space is clean and beautiful. Vibe is warm and energetic. And the yoga was an amazing start to the day. Definitely stop by and sweat a bit. You’ll be so glad.

Attended Sat 10am spin class with Rachel for the first time. The workout is Amazing!! Today we ride with the Micheal Jackson theme, classic, many sprints and core strengthen exercise. Love the music, loved the spirits ~ I’ll definitely be a regular, thank you Rachel !

This studio is amazing. The last two years I have dealt with a handful of health issues and the loss of a family member and fell off attending class regularly. I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things and wanted to start incorporating bikram into my routine again but realized almost 40 of my prepaid classes expired. I explained my situation to the manager, Summer, and asked if the passes could be reinstated which she did with zero hesitation even offering additional help to help ease me back into class. This type of customer service is rare these days and it’s encouraging to see businesses run with this level of integrity. Will be a life long customer at this establishment

The Foundry is hands down one of the best studios I’ve ever been to. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth, encouragement, and a true sense of community. The instructors are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in your growth, both physically and mentally. Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned practitioner, there’s something here for everyone. The variety of classes—from hot yoga to strength training and recovery—makes it easy to stay motivated and challenged. The space itself is always clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed to support your practice. What sets The Foundry apart is the energy—it’s empowering, inclusive, and inspiring. I’ve become stronger, more grounded, and more connected to myself since joining. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a supportive fitness community that goes beyond just the workout!

I’m thrilled to have found this hot yoga studio- it is super clean, stylish and the staff are incredible- they welcome us and remember our names and make us feel part of a community. The instructors are top notch, experienced and very supportive. Highly recommend!

I joined the Foundry Yoga since 2014, when I moved to Scottsdale. I love all the classes offered at the studio. While I initially started going there for Bikram (hot) yoga, the studio now offers a variety of classes, which is great. It keeps me motivated and contributes to my overall fitness goals. But what I love most about Foundry Yoga, and what makes it unique, is the sense of community. From the staff to other members, it always feels like being around friends. I am so happy I found this place by chance over a decade ago. I cannot recommend it enough!

Thank you to the team at The Foundry PV for helping me fall in love with practicing hot yoga again! I have been in & out of practicing hot yoga for the last sixteen years. The schedule makes it easy to stay consistent and the instructors are always so positive and helpful!

My favorite studio! I have been coming here for about a year now and love it. The Foundry is an inclusive space and welcome to all. (Sometimes that can be hard to find in a studio). Whether you are just starting out, or advanced in your practice, The Foundry is the place for you. All of the instructors are great and highly skilled. I also want to shout out Summer. When I was first starting out, I had to exit a class and take a break. She checked on me and got me feeling better to finish the class. Today she noticed it had been a while since I had been in and she asked if I was okay. Summer is proof that The Foundry is more than just about fitness, it’s about compassion and community. We could all use more of that. Thank you ❤️

The Foundry and 26/2 hot yoga have changed me for the better. Every instructor truly cares and is supportive of your practice and overall health. I’m getting stronger and more flexible and I feel better overall. I’ve always had good experiences here… every single class. Today was extra special- I had a bit of a headache and Niki noticed- she bought me a coconut water to help. Such a kind gesture and my head felt better! I love this place!

I have been a member for just over 2 years and if you are looking for a pilates studio, check this one out! Your first class is free, the manager, McKenna is AMAZING and a real people person. The desk staff are kind, caring and will greet you the moment you open the door. The instructors value your time, so they start class on time! The studio is clean, people are friendly and you can make new pilates friends!

I have been coming to club pilates for about 5 months and have noticed and felt such a huge difference in my body and how I feel overall. Summer and Jessie are phenomenal instructors and i never miss their classes! They are truly a key to my success here, and Hope at the front desk is always a friendly smile and happy to help. I highly recommend coming here, you won’t regret it!

The classes are on time, the teachers are friendly and it’s a great workout! I enjoyed working up to the 1.5 level. Laura gives clear instructions and tells you get it right. I’ve been scheduling with Brittany for the 1.5 level, and am really enjoying her classes. It’s a good challenge, variety of exercises, and she’s very attentive and helpful in coaching you to the proper form.

From my perspective, this is the best location to practice Pilates. All of the staff are very welcoming, helpful and able to troubleshoot any questions or problems. The instructors are outstanding! I would like to recognize and express my gratitude to Summer, Jessie Sorensen and Lisa Mauer for their outstanding teaching. These three are at the top of their profession. I highly recommend this studio! Any Pilates student whether they are starting out or are advanced in their practice will not be disappointed. Do not let the waitlist hold you back from joining. Since I became a member, I’ve successfully gotten into the classes that I wanted utilizing it. Thank you Club Pilates at Desert Ridge and well done!

I LOVE CLUB PILATES! I have never in my life enjoyed a workout and let me tell you I’m addicted. It not only makes me feel physically amazing but it helps my mental health as well. The instructors are so amazing and every class is a different workout I can look forward to. In my first month I lost weight and inches all around my body but most of all I gained confidence and strength in myself! I know I will be a Pilates lover for life. My fave instructors are Lisa, Kaylee, Andrea, and Renee! BUT EVERY SINGLE INSTRUCTOR IS AMAZING 💕 Thank you club Pilates!

Recently visited and attended a 90 minute hot yoga session – which if you’ve never done a heated class before is not recommended! The layout of the class and the instructor were great. The heat of the classroom was the hottest I’ve experienced, and I’ve attended a handful of classes around the valley. This studio had the classroom set to 110 degrees, with a closed door and full class so the temperature easily feels closer to 115. If you’re new to heated classes, I would work your way up to this class/studio. They do offer great pricing for class packs if you’re interested in trialing it out for two weeks. If you’re sensitive to heat/scent, I wouldn’t recommend a heated class as you DO sweat heavily as well as all other participants. Meaning – you WILL smell other people and their sweat. The studio offers lockers and cubbies to hold your items and also has a well kept bathroom with showers to rinse off after class.

I have been going to The Foundry Arcadia for over a year now. I love this location! The classes are amazing and the instructors are very personable. My favorite is Khadijah! She meets me where I am at each class I take and is always so encouraging. I am looking forward to continuing to take these classes. I highly recommend this location.

Wonderful, caring attitude by everyone I encountered. Their culture is to let everyone achieve their personal goals in a warm (hot!) environment. The price per class is really good; you will be pleasantly surprised by what you get for your time, money and effort.

I’ve been a member of The Foundry for over two years, and it’s the best overall gym experience of the life! It’s a great community with amazing instructors and fun classes. I highly recommend.

Wish I could give more than five stars to this place for the teachers, because they’re the reason I keep coming back. I often find myself planning a week ahead just to make sure I can get into my favorite classes — which really speaks to how talented and popular the instructors are. They put so much time and energy into every workout, including the planning they do outside the studio, and I genuinely believe they deserve to be compensated more than the ~$40 a class they currently receive. It’s surprising that many haven’t seen a raise despite being there for years, especially as membership costs continue to rise. The instructors are the heart of this studio, and I hope their hard work is recognized and supported.

This is my first time there and it’s out of my expectation to having class here. The hot yoga having absolutely comfortable temperatures heat in room and the instructor here is amazing. Everything just so good!

I’ve only been coming here for about four months, and I usually go every other Tuesday using ClassPass since that’s what works best for me right now. I like trying out different places, but this place has truly become one of my favorites. The environment is always so peaceful, and everyone from the staff to the instructors is so kind and supportive. I take Todd’s class every other Tuesday, and today I just felt the need to write this. I hate being late to anything, and I was running behind, I showed up literally two minutes before class started. I was already feeling rushed, anxious, and nervous about not getting a good spot in the room. But as soon as I checked in, both Todd and the front desk staff greeted me with such warmth. Their energy instantly made me feel better. Then I walked into the room… and Todd had saved a spot for me. That small gesture meant so much after a long day. His class, as always, was grounding, thoughtful, and exactly what I needed. It helped me let go of everything I was holding onto. Todd has this way of creating space not just physically but emotionally too-like he sees you, meets you where you’re at, and helps you come back to yourself. Little moments of kindness like that stick with you. I left class feeling lighter, grounded, and just genuinely grateful. This place is special, and I’m so happy I found it.

Studio Verve Pilates is the best studio! I have never felt addicted to any exercise, until I joined Studio Verve. It is a smaller studio with only 8 reformers which allows the instructors to focus on each individual student. All of the teachers are amazing and have gone through the extensive Pilates training based on the founder’s teachings. I would highly recommend Studio Verve!

I’ve been attending Studio Verve for about a year and a half now, and you can’t find a warmer more motivating environment. The studio itself is beautiful and cozy, the instructors are supportive and informed, and the variety of classes target your many different needs! Melissa, the owner of the studio, is committed to keeping the heart and soul of pilates alive, and I feel really grateful to learn from her! Here’s the first photo I took at this studio back in July 2024 🙂

I love Studio Verve! The instructors are not only knowledgeable about classical Pilates, but so kind and welcoming to all of their students. If I ever am unsure about anything, I know that any instructor will be able to assist me in my form. You can tell they really care about how they teach and that’s what keeps me coming back again and again

Cute spot! The classes are great, and their studio is beautiful. I’ve taken multiple classes and each of the instructors have really good cues to get me through the exercises. If you’re looking to round out your fitness routine, or find something challenging while being gentle to your body…Pilates is the way to go! Studio Verve stays true to the practice, and I love how passionate they are in helping their clients make the most of their time in class. It’s located in a cute remodeled residential-looking building, which can be a little tough to find at first, but still easy to get to.

I absolutely love Studio Verve Pilates in Arcadia. Coming to these classes brings me so much joy and has become such an important part of my routine. It doesn’t feel like a typical Scottsdale studio where there’s pressure to perform or keep up; instead, the environment is supportive, welcoming, and focused on truly learning and taking care of your body. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable about form, movement, breathwork, and what’s actually best for the human body. You can tell they genuinely care about their students and put real thought into how they teach. They’re kind, encouraging, and bring such a positive, calming energy to every class. I even drive out of my way after work just to come here because it feels like decompression and relaxation, not just a workout. The overall vibe of the studio is amazing, and the teachers have so much to do with that. You can also feel the influence of great leadership; the owner has clearly shaped a team and culture that’s thoughtful, professional, and heart-centered. I highly recommend Studio Verve to anyone looking for a no-pressure space where you can grow, learn proper Pilates technique, and actually enjoy the process.

By far my favorite Pilates studio. I have gone to multiple of their locations. Always conveniently located. All the instructors are very kind & welcoming to all levels. They change up the routines often so you’re not feeling like you’re always doing the same things. Lots of options for classes throughout the day. I enjoy participating in their challenges and offer great swag for the prizes (milestones too!) Highly recommend RP. Pilates with RP has been a game changer for me throughout the few years I’ve been with them. They offer monthly guest passes, so bring a friend too!

I absolutely love it here. I started going to Reformed Pilates as a total beginner and am now up to almost 50 classes. When they say they are for any ability level they really mean it. The instructors are very knowledgeable and give great guidance throughout the class. They have a lot of times available and have easily been able to fit it into my schedule. Definitely would recommend this studio to anyone looking for a great workout!

As I approach my 2,000th Reformed Pilates class (yes -2,000!) it’s a good time to reflect on what a life changing journey this has been for me. I’ve tried so many workouts over the years and this is the only one I’ve stuck with. I’ve never been in better shape. I’m part of an amazing community of people that are focused on health and wellness while enjoying a challenging, low impact workout. From the amazing instructors to the never ending array of routines, music play lists and fun milestone and challenge prizes, Reformed Pilates keeps us coming! And my home studio, Reformed Pilates Paradise Valley, is extra special with lots of natural light from the wall of windows! All ages, all fitness levels, come as you are.

I absolutely love Reformed Pilates. All of the teachers are amazing and the classes are a lot of fun. I have been doing gym classes for years, but nothing beats their pilates class . I’m always sore and it’s such a hard workout. The class goes by so fast! Highly recommend giving it a try!!

The instructors are wonderful, knowledgeable, and encouraging. I enjoyed being able to work out at my own pace while still getting a great workout. The Reformer machines make the exercises both effective and enjoyable. I would love to own one someday so I could continue using it at home!

I joined Reformed Pilates about 4 months ago. I never thought I would keep up with it but wanted to find some exercise routine I enjoyed. I was surprised by how much I liked it. The instructors are great and always there to help out listen to your feedback. I enjoy the multiple locations so if you can’t find a class at one location you probably can at another.

Joining Reformed has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Not only have I seen amazing physical changes, but the mental and emotional changes have been just as important. Taking time for myself each day with instructors who know me and care about me has truly changed me. I leave each class feeling stronger, more confident, and my mental load is much lighter. Reformed has become part of my self care and I look forward to class each day. If you are on the fence about trying it, please try! You will not regret taking time for yourself.

This was my first experience with Pilates on a reformer, and it exceeded all my expectations. My wife and I have been taking private reformer sessions with Lily over the past couple of months, and it has been a wonderful experience. Lily makes every session fun, engaging, and easy to follow. She is exceptional at explaining each exercise, ensuring we understand the movements, and gently correcting our posture when needed. And of course, it’s always a bonus when she brings her adorable assistant, Herbie, her dog. I highly recommend Desert Mvmt Gym and Lily to anyone interested in Pilates.

The best gym in Phoenix – great for Midtown people looking for structure and support. This female-owned gem has the best events, and they pour so much love into all that they do!

I really love this studio! All of the instructors are so amazing and friendly. I feel so strong and motivated after every class. Thank you for such an amazing experience! Shoutout to Alex, Jaye, Alexa, Melissa, Lily and Mikaela! It’s always a pleasure to see them and be welcomed into the stoood! ♥️

I’ve gotten so much stronger since joining desert mvmt! Good variety of class types and all of them kill you. But instructors are the best hype girls, good playlists, and a really welcoming vibe for all levels. Love all the community events they host too.

My favorite studio in Phoenix! The classes are challenging, but modifications are always offered and instructors encourage you to take what you need in every class. The environment is so supportive, the studio is cute and clean, and there are always events and pop-ups happening that make it even more fun to go exercise. It’s made me excited to work out again.

Really truly the best studio I have ever been to. Classes are the hard but never unattainable, every instructor is knowledgeable & SO kind. My fav part of DM is the way the blend mindfulness into every session. Try once & you’ll NEVER want to leave

I absolutely LOVE going to Desert Mvmt. Alex, Sara, Jaye, and all the gals at DM are wonderful from the moment you walk in! I’ve been going for almost 2 years, and the classes are always challenging, fun, and worth the sweat!! The weekly combination of mat, strength, and reformer classes are exactly what I need to keep me on track.

I started my Pilates journey here in summer 2024, and I’ve been a Pilates princess ever since 👑 I love the contemporary take on the reformer and how each instructor takes the time to break down every movement, educate you on injury prevention, and help you truly understand your body. The built-in progressions are one of my favorite parts—they let you level up and add that extra challenge when you’re ready. What really sets Reformed apart is the community. Everyone—from the instructors to the members—is so welcoming and friendly. Every instructor is amazing, and the playlists and routines are always fun and motivating. Trent, Natassia, and Taylor are a few of my favorites, but I genuinely love how each instructor brings their own unique flavor and personality to every class. It makes every session feel fresh and exciting.. I even had my birthday party here and I hope to continue to have more private events at reformed 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I’ve been coming here for just over a year now and I’m so pleased with how they run their business, from the amazing app to the equipment and most of all the instructors. There is a lot of emphasis on proper form to prevent injury and maximize the workout. The studio is very inclusive and welcoming for people of all levels (I had never done Pilates before) and body types. A typical class includes people of all ages from early 20s to 60+. I’ve had great experiences with every single instructor. Just a few faves: Erin, Mackenzie, Faith, Keren, Kelly, Trent, and more.

I’ve been a member at Reformed for 2 years, and I love it! The instructors are great, the vibes are good, and I’ve really toned up my core! These classes are a great complement to my yoga practice. I’d highly recommend Reformed to anyone looking to start a Pilates practice!

Hit 500 classes TODAY! RP has been amazing for all aspects of my life. I’m a 5am-er, and this has been the start of my mornings, 7 days a week for 1.5 years. I feel stronger, progressed significantly in things I never thought would now feel so easy. The instructors are great, and I love that anyone can start at any class. You can progress or modify. I never had pilates experience or had taken a class before RP. I fell in love from the first class! I feel like a giddy kid again when I get prizes for meeting milestones or completing challenges. Want to have fun, and not feel like your forced into “whatever level of progression the classes think you are”? How about going to a place where they let you determine how far you can push yourself that day instead? I hate when someone else tells me whether i’m “intermediate” or “advanced”. Let me alter the moves myself! And if you feel that way too, the instructors will guide you to alter every move, how you feel fit to push (or not) that day. – Signed a fan 🫡

Pilates has been wonderful for my core strength, toning up, balance, and flexibility! I do 5-6 classes per week and it’s incredible. I love that no 2 classes are the same and all the instructors have been very kind and helpful. Highly recommend!! Reformed Pilates Central Daisy Regmi

Love Reformed on Central! Just started getting into Pilates this past year and all the instructors there are amazing! I’ve taken Ashlee’s classes the most and she always creates a friendly and welcoming environment, which is nice because I was a little nervous at first being new to pilates. 10/10 workout and staff!

I’ve been attending classes at Reformed since 2018. It is hands down the best place to take Pilates in Arizona! Every single teacher is amazing and the facility is top-notch. In over 7 years and over 1,000 classes taken, every single class has been an amazing experience. Love RP!

This studio has been an amazing addition to my fitness routine. I love that the classes follow a consistent format while still offering fresh, challenging workouts each time. It can be hard to fit in high-impact exercise with my busy schedule, but the 50‑minute sessions are perfect for a quick and effective lunchtime workout. The studio is always spotless, and the instructors are knowledgeable and motivating.

Reformed Pilates Arcadia is absolutely my favorite studio! The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and so motivating. Every class feels intentional and challenging while still being accessible, no matter your experience level. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Pilates experience!

Reformed Pilates has truly become one of my favorite parts of my week. I’ve taken classes at the **Arcadia, Chandler, and Central** studios, and the experience is consistently exceptional across all locations. What really sets Reformed apart is the brand as a whole—it’s challenging, intentional, and empowering without ever feeling intimidating. Every class pushes you in the best way, and the programming keeps things fresh so you’re constantly growing stronger (physically and mentally). The instructors are knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely care about form, progress, and safety. You feel supported no matter where you’re starting from, but also challenged enough that you leave feeling accomplished every single time. The studios are beautiful, welcoming, and well-run, and there’s a strong sense of community that makes you want to keep coming back. Reformed isn’t just a workout—it’s an experience and a lifestyle. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a smart, effective, and empowering Pilates practice!

Reformed Pilates Arcadia is always a great workout and a fun and clean studio to get your workout in! You work your whole body and it’s different every class! Would recommend to anyone who wants to get a great workout in and be consistent! Makenna Elliott

I started Reformer Pilates before I got pregnant and decided to stick with it 4–5x a week—and honestly, it’s made my pregnancy SO amazing. 🤍 No back pain, no swelling, and I’m still sleeping great at night (now in my third trimester) 🙌 It’s become my daily ritual, and I genuinely look forward to it every day. The girls are the sweetest and always check in with me beforehand to make sure I’m modifying anything I need 💕 Huge shoutout to Faith, Brooke, Courtney, Tyler and Carly for making my pregnancy journey so enjoyable !! 🫶

I’ve tried several Reformer Pilates studios, and this one is by far my favorite. While some Pilates classes can feel more like physical therapy or light stretching, Reformed Pilates truly delivers a challenging, effective workout. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and do a great job of knowing when to push you and when to modify based on individual needs. I started coming postpartum to rebuild my strength and get toned, and I’m so glad I did. I’ve even brought my sisters-in-law who usually take Lagree classes, and they said this was their favorite Pilates workout they’ve tried. I am now a regular at Reformer Pilates Arcadia.

Reformed truly changed my life in ways I didn’t expect. From the moment you walk in, the space feels calm, safe, and intentional. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely caring. They cue with so much thought and encouragement, making you feel supported exactly where you are while still helping you grow stronger each class. Since coming here, I’ve noticed such a shift not only in my body, but in my mindset and confidence. I leave every class feeling more aligned, grounded, and reconnected to myself. It’s one of the few places that feels like both a workout and a form of self-care, and it’s become a truly meaningful part of my routine. I’m so grateful to have found this studio!! 🤍
