The Pilates Center

Come here if you want to find your healthy. The most wonderful nexus of original New York-​style Pilates, nurturing Boulder spirit, and straight up anatomy nerdism. Teachers don’t instruct, they inspire. I always walk out feeling taller and energized.

Love, love, love! I took my very first class here earlier this week. Everyone was so welcoming and the instructors were extremely helpful. I have never felt better after a class, I would definitely recommend it!

I was asked to update so here it goes: The official review by the Division of Private Occupational Schools (DPOS) was found in my favor. It was determined that I did not owe The Pilates Center (TPC) money and that instead, they actually owed a substantial refund for tuition paid. It was also found that The Pilates Center’s record keeping was poor and program guidelines were unclear, so the plan was for the DPOS to work with TPC to change things. I know that they were going to focus on overhauling the writing of their training program guidelines to clarify *exactly* what they will give you for the money you pay and their future consideration of pro rated refunds will have to be based on the number of hours you completed instead of their previous guideline of how many months you spent in the program. After all, you sign up and pay for a training program that consists of a certain number of hours to completion — the programs are not measured in months. I don’t know if the DPOS is able to offer help with the bookkeeping issues. In the end, I’d still caution anyone to do their due diligence when it comes to payments and with monitoring their studio account. If you go as a trainee, you’ll have the DPOS as a backup if there are any issues TPC won’t work with you to resolve. Btw, the folks at The Pilates Center never responded to the BBB complaint that I filed, so take that as you will. And even after it was determined that they owed a refund for my tuition, they tried every possible loophole to keep from refunding the money (thanks to the added complication that my tuition was funded by a grant). Again, take that as you will.

Before taking a class, I had never taken (anything) Pilates before. I honestly didn’t know what Pilates was. I thought it was just another version of yoga. I was mistaken.
Stacey was my instructor for Beginning Equipment and Reformer classes. She was thorough in her teaching and made sure that I, along with everyone else, were on the same page so that no one felt left behind. If I was doing something incorrectly, Stacey would come over and correct me without making a big scene.
Not only was Stacey a positive element but, the other clients that I was in class with. They were super friendly and had the utmost respect as well.
I definitely plan on taking future classes from The Pilates Center! It’s amazing how refreshed you feel afterwards.

I was writing in response to Amanda P.‘s review of TPC. While I am so sorry that she had that experience, I wanted to relay that I have had no such experience. I am a graduate of the eighteen month training program and have been training at The Pilates Center since March 2011 and I have had nothing but a great experience. While I am saddened that a fellow trainee had an unpleasant experience, I felt obligated to share that in the three years at TPC I have not had any billing mishaps whatsoever. I reviewed my account often and did not run into any issues, in fact they were very helpful with any concerns I had or when I had to cancel. While I am not discrediting anyone else’s experience, however, wanted to share my experience in the same realm.
The Pilates Center has an amazing training program and brilliant instructors! I have absolutely nothing but the best things to say about TPC. I still continue to drive from DTC to Boulder weekly for classes… that is how much I love it! They are a terrific group of women all around and I have no doubt that if any error should occur they would be quick to rectify it.

The Pilates Center is Boulder’s premier Pilates instruction and teacher training studio. In fact, the teacher training program is world-​renowned and in running for «the best» teacher training studio in N. America. So, with all that it is a hard one to pass by. Come for those flavorful fun mat moves and stay for penultimate reformer classes — your abs will thank you. The studio offers a variety of classes throughout the day and into the night. I particularly love the studio, the view is just beautiful! Huge bay windows on 2 sides of the studio space allow for the lights of heaven to pour into the studio space, providing so much more than just illumination.

The instructors here are very knowledgeable and willing to help and explain why and how things are suppose to be done. Classes are taught at a good speed and I like that the Pilates Center also teaches future pilates teachers. Highly recommend them!
