FABULOUS class with Nancy! I was in town for a few days and decided to sign up for a Pilates class with Pilates Napa Valley. Nancy was a pleasure- I loved the exercises, the flow, and most importantly, the instruction Nancy gave. She suggested minor adjustments that allowed me to feel the movements better and gave me a killer workout. If I lived in Napa, this would be my studio! I hope I have the privilege of taking another class here next time I visit. Thank you Nancy!!!

I really liked coming here until Nancy shamed me in front of the whole class. I know she can be pretty direct but this time was totally uncalled for. She had us do a new exercise on the reformer and obviously I was doing it wrong. She ran right over to me with a raised voice saying that I needed to do it this way not that way! It took me a minute to try and get it down so she started laughing saying I’m not laughing at you I’m laughing with you. Well I wasn’t laughing. The whole class stopped to watch her belittle me. Once I got it down it was fine until midway through class she looked at me and said look this is actually one you can do well! I felt so embarrassed. Never coming back here!!

I love this place! The instructors are the absolute BEST. They are so knowledgeable and they keep the workouts interesting and challenging. I've seen great results in my appearance and strength. The equipment is good quality and the space is inviting and spotless. Parking is also super easy! A true 10 out of 10 locally owned business!

Exceptional class and instructor. I came as a visitor from out of town and the space was super welcoming. Highly recommended.

I recently had a terrible experience at Pilates Napa Valley during my bachelorette party. The instructor, Nancy, was incredibly rude and unprofessional. She began by belittling my girls who were beginners, making condescending remarks such as "that's not your knees okay, these are your knees, and these are your ankles" in the most condescending tone. Even my experienced friend, who has years of Pilates experience, was treated poorly. Nancy kept going up to her and asking her if she was okay with a look of pity on her face, my girl was literally like "yeah I'm just breathing?" It's like she really wanted to make it seem like we were holding back the entire class. The most shocking moment came when Nancy publicly accused one of my girls of not paying for the class, which was completely false. This was incredibly embarrassing and unprofessional. Nancy's attitude throughout the class was condescending and judgmental. She seemed to resent us for not being regular members. At one point she said, "yeah my daughter-in-law said she wanted to do a Pilates class for her bachelorette and I was like ahhhh" as my girls and I are just like chilling doing the exercises with the rest of the class? I was like?? Ahh?? Is this experience that terrible for you? While this experience didn't taint my perspective on Pilates, I fear it will for my girls who had never tried it before. I'm blessed to have been a regular at my local studio for over six years, so I know that not all Pilates studios are like this. However, this negative experience could potentially deter my girls from trying Pilates again, which is a shame. Nancy made several more unnecessary and rude comments throughout the class, including something super insensitive and ignorant that was said to my maid of honor who is expecting, but ultimately all you need to know is to never go to this studio. I always take Pilates classes at random studios all across the US while traveling, and this experience has been BY FAR the worst. I gave it 1 star because you can’t do less than that, but if I could give it negative stars I would.
