Vera Pilates

Vera Pilates in the Second Ward, Houston, is the reformer studio of the Vera Pilates group, which also has a mat studio in the Heights. Reviewers describe a clean, beautiful room that smells good, small classes where you get to know the teachers, and a range of reformer formats including First Timer, Sculpt, Sweat and Praise, some using dumbbells. Nina-Simone is praised by several reviewers, and Andrea is named for a class that is hard in a good way. Members call the instructors friendly, attentive and good at explaining each movement, and say the atmosphere is motivating without being intimidating. The studio runs summer and autumn events and challenges. One ClassPass user arrived for a 5:15 AM class to find the studio closed, with no cancellation notice.

  I was really excited to try this studio because it has such great reviews. I signed up for a 5:15 AM class through Classpass. I arrived around 5:07 AM and the studio was closed. I waited in my car until around 5:20 and no one (except another attendee) showed up. I went on Vera Pilates’s site to make sure Classpass wasn’t the issue, but they did have a 5:15 AM class scheduled. In addition, I received several reminders the day before and it was frustrating that the studio didn’t let attendees know the class was canceled. I understand that things may change, but if someone is getting up that early to attend a class, they should be given some sort of notification.

  Great transitions and lots of flexibility for adjustments and advancements. Loved using dumbbells and corrections on posture.
