Transform Fitness Studio

Awesome workout! Great instructors. Jen (owner) has genuine passion about her business and helping you get in the best shape you can. Highly recommend.

I live close to this gym and the dark windows and photos of muscular people on strange contraptions always looked a little intimidating to me. But since the location is so convenient for me, I decided to try out a class through my temporary Class Pass trial. First off, I accidentally signed up for a Megaformer class thinking that it would be a spin class, because they are incorrectly labeled as cycling classes on the Class Pass website (I think the website only allows one label per studio, and Transform has multiple types of workouts so it’s confusing). But I’m open to mixing up my workouts, so once I realized I was in for a strength training workout, I switched gears mentally and decided to make the most of it. I ended up liking the experience, a lot in part due to the amazing instructor, Andrea! Andrea has the perfect personality for a group ex class leader, extremely outgoing, funny, and talkative. As soon as I walked into the studio and after her previous class ended she walked up to me to introduce herself in a bubbly manner and show me how the Megaformer works, reassuring me that I would be okay as a newbie. Andrea talked nonstop during class, using everything from personal stories to motivating exclamations to keep us entertained and power us through the session. She remembers everyone’s name and is able to connect to each personal as an individual with her quirky comments. I was in awe of her energy and enthusiasm, and she seems like such an approachable, relatable fitness instructor. If I came back I would make sure to sign up for one of Andrea’s classes! On the workout side, the Megaformer does make regular crunches, push-​ups, and other exercises extra challenging because of the mobile spring-​loaded board and attached bungees and straps. If you are into weights and strength training, this would be a good fresh workout régime to try.

Just finished my first Megaformer class at Transform — it was amazing! My body was still shaking when I got home!

I love this studio. I’ve taken classes with Juliet and Nina, and they’re exceptional teachers. I like asking questions, and they stay later to help me get my form and alignment correct. Thank you!

I signed up for my first Transform Studio class with class pass in September. I wanted to find the right work out for me. I have been taking classes here for about five months now with Andrea. She’s my favorite instructor. The machines at first glance looks intimidating but once you get a routine in it’s a great work out. I can’t do all of the plank forms but there are always alternative options. I really feel the difference and feel a lot stronger.
I also take other classes such as spin, barre, aerobics and yoga about 4 – 6 times a week. I would say that the transformer machines are the hardest of them all but the most effective work out for me. Parking here is also pretty limited in the front so I try to get there 10 minutes before class.

I have been taking cycling classes at Transform Fitness for about two months now and I love it. The instructors keep the classes challenging and fun. They are all very knowledgeable about the equipment and the exercises. The facility is clean and the machines appear to be very new. Make sure you show up to class 10 – 15 minutes early in case you need help setting up the bike or the bike computer. The instructor will help you! Try it out!

I took my first class at Transform and am incredibly impressed with how 45 minutes with a Megaformer M3S machine can really kick your butt! The instructors are so positive, encouraging, and motivating and really push you to challenge yourself. The exercises focus on slower, smaller movements that really work your core which is much more effective for getting into shape and burning fat. I can’t wait to take my next class!

I am a big fan of Lagree-​style workouts and this is a great studio. Classes fly by driven by the energetic instructors and great music. The machines are new, the instructors are super friendly, the studio is bright, open and the machines are spaced out. I kind of forget that I have neighbors! I highly recommend to anyone looking for an intense but relatively short workout.

I started coming to Transform when it first opened earlier this year using ClassPass and was so glad to have a Megaformer studio on my way home. I’ve been to many Megaformer studios in the area and in Southern California and this is one of my favorites because of the easy going and unpretentious vibe here. The workouts are always challenging and it never gets easier no matter how often I go. The trainers are all very knowledgeable, motivating, and great about explaining form and alignment. I’ve taken Jennifer, Adrian, and Andrea’s classes and have never been disappointed. I especially like taking Andrea’s classes because she’s so entertaining and it keeps the atmosphere fun and light, while making the classes go by faster. They also offer cycling and mixed megaformer/​cycling classes too. My entire body is always shaking by the end of class but I always feel so much stronger and accomplished!

I have been to a lot of lagree studios across the state and country. Transform is one that I frequent the most! I absolutely love this exercise! It’s always challenging/​rewarding and fun!
Here are my likes and dislikes:
Likes
1. Friendly instructors. All are very motivating and most importantly, all offer modifications for every fitness level. They all ask for feedback after each class. Andrea is my favorite! She is challenging, but she makes you laugh, so you kind of forget that she is semi-​torturing you!
2. Newer machines! Trust me, it makes a difference. Plus the machines are nicely spaced out. It really sucks when you go to a studio that has too many machines for the space and you end up smacking your neighbor!
3. Very traditional lagree movements (this can be both good and bad). You get a full body workout, but it also means less variety in the routines.
4. They turn on the air conditioning! I like to sweat, but not drown in it!
Dislikes
1. I’m a glutton for punishment, so I wish the classes were longer (50 min instead of 45)
2. Some instructors don’t keep us in moves long enough to burn out and achieve the «shake.» I want to be sore!

Love love this studio! if you havent tried the megaformer yet… you should!!! i have sore muscles that I never knew i had before!

classes here are so much fun! we always try to take classes here every time we are visiting South Bay area. Our favorite class has been the Mega Mixed class as you are getting the best of both worlds: cardio (cycling) and strength (megaformer). Low impact, easy on the knees /​joints, and great music. A lot of positiveness, encouragement and great personalities here. If you’re having a bad day, visit this studio and you’ll be recharged!

I love this studio. It’s spacious, modern, clean, and chic. The owner, Jennifer — is amazing. She’s knowledgeable, funny, and keeps you motivated through the intense Megaformer and MegaMix workouts. Megaformer is my go-​to resistance training because it’s a surefire way to get results without impacting your joints. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

I’ve been coming here for the last 2 months, 3 times a week– As for the cute little butt «dimples» on my back side are nearly completely gone. My whole derrière has lifted and tightened. I learned it’s important to push yourself a little harder each time you perform on the megaformer like doing the pushups or planks slow with resistance. Your body will shake and all movements are SLOWWWWW and controlled unlike anything I’ve done before — I have learned to LOVE it.
The instructors are great and make beginners welcome and not self-​conscious.
Now for the spinning class review– I love the little cycle studio with top of the line spin bikes. I like to attend after the megaformer class but attendance is often low so it gets cancelled last minute. Plus not many morning classes. I pay for monthly unlimited class visits so I would like the classes to happen as advertised so I get my monies worth. Eh, all– in all– small upset and I will continue sing their praises.

Well deserved 5 stars for this place. I’ve only gone to the megaformer classes and they’ve kicked my butt each time. Adrian is incredibly nice and walks around and corrects form, makes you push yourself to the max, and encourages you. His Australian accent is of course endearing and makes the class fun hehe allo mate! :D
I have worn grippy socks each time, but not required. Regular socks/​barefoot work also. The morning classes have 3 – 5 people so small enough that he focuses on everyone. The moves are meant to hone in on your small tendons. Most workouts focus on the big ones — quads, glutes, etc, which over time are used to the same moves like squats. These moves find your random tiny muscles and make them SHAKE. They trick your body which is how change is made! Weirdly, I like that I can’t do a majority of the moves fully because that means theres lots of room for improvement and slowly I can get off of the «modifications»!
Only recommendation is maybe adding some cardio. If we did a few jumping jacks in the beginning it might be nice to sweat a little. They have half spin, half megaformer classes though.
Love it here!
(no showers, yes changing rooms/​bathroom with facewash/​lotion, yes water fountain, yes towels, and yes parking lot)
PS — I checked online for pricing (I have Classpass) and I don’t think it’s worth anywhere near $ 30+/class. I find NO classes in the country to be $ 30 a pop which seems to be the going rate these days, but nonetheless, the classes are great, but the studio itself isn’t that impressive (no showers, for example), that would not warrant their price tag.

I have tried different instructors, but my heart will always stay with Andrea Ruelas ^_​^ She is fantastic. Will make you sweat a lot! She is also *very* supportive and motivating. She’ll push you through whenever you are almost ready to give up.
The studio itself is very clean, they provide you with towels and water.

This is a long overdue review. I had been walking by this studio for months before I tried it. I signed up for a classpass trial in June and this studio happened to be on it, so it was the perfect opportunity! The studio is beautiful and clean. There are also really cute, fun workout clothes to look through.
My first class was with Andrea, who will kick your butt in the first 5 minutes. All of the instructors are really great, and all have a slightly different style — but there is one thing in common, so much little slow movement, but SO MUCH SWEAT. No matter which instructor you get, it will end up being a killer workout! Expect your abs to hurt for about 5 days after your first class!
I love the additional of the new spin studio — the two compliment each other perfectly.

Important note– Don’t forget to bring socks to class! If you have the kind with grips on the bottom, even better.

I tried out a class here because I wanted to see what the Megaformer was all about. If you are in a plateau in your workouts– you have to try this!
It’s intimidating at the beginning for a first time user but our instructor was great and really took the time to help new comers with proper posture and explained how to use the Megaformer. The various workouts on the Megaformer realllllly kick your butt and you’ll feel muscles you didn’t know existed sore the next day. I can imagine how much impact this class will have on toning up your body after sticking with it for a while. I’m definitely considering making a workout with the Megaformer a part of my routine.
The studio itself is small inside, but clean and pretty. There are no showers and the parking lot outside the studio is a bit small but I think you’d be able to find parking on the surrounding streets too. If you’re looking for a smaller studio with fewer people in class (you get way more attention from the instructor!) then this is for you.

I’m addicted to Megaformer workouts and am so happy to have found this place in south bay :)
I’ve taken classes with Adrian and Jennifer, and they’re both great instructors. Super friendly and helpful. They bring great energy to each class and are always very encouraging.
The classes kick BUTT and are different from normal pilates classes in that there’s a huge focus on doing the reps as slowly as possible. I’ve been going to Megaformer classes 2 – 3 times a week (here and at other studios) for several months now, and I still always get sore after each class. aka EFFECTIVE workouts! Every class is a little different, but it’s always a full body workout. And only 45 minutes, so no excuses not to try it out!
The studio is really spacious and clean, with lots of light from the skylights, but there are only 9 Megaformers. Weekend classes fill up pretty easily, but I’ve been to a weekday morning class and I was the only one there (so essentially a private class!).
There’s only a small parking lot in front of the studio, but since the classes are so small, there’s never a problem with parking.

I like to consider myself to be in ~relatively~ good shape, but within the first three minutes of the Megaformer workout, I started to feel beads of sweat and started to regret even stepping foot into the studio (though by the end of class, I was SO happy I stuck with it and will definitely be returning!!).
«Megaformer» is an ass-​kicking, bootylicious workout. It works out those muscles I never knew I had in ways I never knew possible. All the moves are done on the Megaformer (not to be confused with a pilates reformer) and they are done in tiny, slow, deliberate movements. The machine seems a bit intimidating at first, but have no fear, it’s pretty intuitive and the instructors will demonstrate the movements.
I’ve only taken classes with Adrian, and he’s definitely very upbeat and chatty so the 45 minutes just fly by. Oh, and there are absolutely NO BREAKS during the workout. Each move is performed for 60 – 90 seconds, back to back.
There are only nine Megaformer machines, so each class is intimate (and also means you can’t slack off during class!) Overall the studio is bright and clean, equipped with a bathroom and small changing area (no showers).
