Perfect Body Pilates

Underwhelming Experience, Overpriced Classes

I was really looking forward to trying out Perfect Body Pilates, given all the rave reviews about Elsa's teaching style and the supportive environment. Unfortunately, my experience was a letdown from the start. The studio itself, while clean and well-maintained, felt cramped and lacked any real ambiance - it basically felt like a generic gym room with some Pilates equipment tossed in. Elsa, the instructor, was indeed kind and professional, but her classes felt overly scripted and lacked the personalized attention I've come to expect from a Pilates studio. The 'gentle corrections' often felt like a one-size-fits-all approach, not really addressing my specific needs or form. The biggest disappointment, however, was the cost. With prices significantly higher than other Pilates studios in San Francisco, I expected a premium experience that Perfect Body Pilates failed to deliver. For someone who's been practicing Pilates for a while, the classes didn't offer the challenge or variety I was looking for. Maybe it's better suited for beginners, but for me, it was an underwhelming experience that didn't justify the expense. Unless they revamp their pricing strategy or offer more advanced classes, I wouldn't recommend Perfect Body Pilates to anyone looking for a serious Pilates practice.
