IM=X Pilates

I’ve been going here for 2 years. This a no frills studio that provides excellent classes.

Wonderful Pilates studio. All the Pilates instructors are knowledgable, well trained, and very welcoming. Focus on correct body alignment. Most classes have participants at various skill level and the instructors are great about suggesting alternate position or spring load for those who want to work harder or lighter.
Love this place

I love the classes at Imx Pilates. I think it is the best kept secret for pilates in Miami. The instructors are phenomenal and really know their stuff. They pay attention to alignment and proper form. Samantha, Michal, and Ryann are well trained instructors. If you are new to pilates, I definitely recommend this studio.

This summer I decided that I wanted to give pilates a try. I researched various pilates studios on Unilocal and other places. I chose IM=X in Coral Gables based on Unilocal reviews and reading through their website. What I really liked was they offered a class for individuals who have never done pilates in their life — I fell into this category. I signed up online for a beginner/​introductory class. It was $ 17 and I was the only student. The class obviously made an impression on me because following the class, I immediately bought an unlimited month. BTW — I never felt pressured into this choice. I asked some questions and picked a package that was right for me.
Here is my review:
Studio Itself
— The studio is easy to find and they have street parking (meter). I have been
attending solidly for a month and have never had an issue with parking.
— 2^nd floor of a small building on Ponce de Leon Blvd
— Clean
— Uncluttered
— Windows providing natural light
— Offer Private, Semi-​Private, and Group Classes (I have only taken a Group Class)
— Max number of students per Group Class is 8
— Can sign up for classes online
— Equipment is clean — students wipe everything down at the end of each class
including mats, rings, balls, and reformers with a anti bacterial spray and thick
paper towels
— They offer a variety of different packages and provide student/​teacher discounts!
And yes, you can simply pay as you go for individual classes ($ 22 per class — I
think), but they do end up being less expensive if you buy them in some kind of
package.
Instructors
— I have taken a class with Carlos, Samantha, and Michal and all of them do an
excellent job — Carlos was my instructor for my 1^st class
— Like I said, I have been going steadily (at least 4 times per week for the last
month) and I have never done the same routine twice — yes, I have done similar
routines, but never in the same order — they always keep you guessing
— All of the instructors that I have taken class with, pay attention to the students
and will provide corrections/​assistance to students. They will also offer modified
ways to complete an exercise taking into account the abilities of the students and
students who may have various health issues for example, lower back.
Classes /​Ease Of Reservations
— The website provides a detailed schedule of class availability. They also have a
schedule posted in the studio.
— They offer a variety of different classes. They offer a cardio/​jump-​board class,
an all levels pilates class (using reformer), intermediate/​advanced class (using
reformer), a booty barre class.
— Classes are 55 minutes in length. I have left class each time drenched and
feeling like I worked out every inch of my body.
— Once you are a member you can sign up for classes online. They offer morning,
mid-​day, and evening Group Classes. When signing up it will ask if you wish to
make this a recurring appointment or a single class appointment — which I like.
— Online it shows how many people have signed up for classes and provides you
your individual schedule.
— It is easy to cancel a class. I have only used the scheduler online (so I am
writing from that perspective). You do have to follow the cancellation guidelines
in order to not be penalized for cancelling a class late, but I feel that this is fair
because class sizes are capped. If you have an unlimited pass you are not
penalized for late cancels, but the studio asks you to be conscientious so that
others may have the opportunity to attend.
I really have nothing negative to say, but I will acknowledge that I have never attended another studio, so I have nothing to compare IM=X to. I plan to continue to attend classes here. I like the small class size and ease of making reservations. I have also seen results even though it has only been 1 month. I am fairly active, I run, bike, swim, and go to the gym. But, with this class, I have lost inches from my waist, back and legs. I also feel that my flexibility has improved.
I would definitely say to try this studio out!

During my last trip to Miami, I discovered this gym called IM=X Pilates.
It located in beautiful Coral Gables. You can even take the trolley to get there. I decided to purchase their introductory package. Which is a package of 5 classes for $ 115.
The classes were great. It was a combination of floor exercises and reformer exercises. The instructors keep the classes at a relaxing pace yet still burning calories at the same time. All the instructors here are warm and friendly and willing to assist you if needed. After the class I felt more relaxed then sore.

I had not done Pilates for about three years and decided to try this studio near my home. It was a wonderful experience and I have signed up for private classes before joining the group classes. The instructor, Samantha, was very patient and guided me through all the moves.

After having a baby I started looking for some kind of exercise that would help me get my body back in shape. I did not care for gyms because I found that if I worked out alone I would never push myself. I decided to give IM=X Pilates a try. It was just what I was looking for!!!
The instructors are friendly, knowledgeable and and the classes are small, so you don’t get lost in the class. The class are different every time you go so you don’t have to worry about being bored. The best part is I am starting to see the results. I highly recommend them!!!

As part of my «trying different workout style» kick, I made it to IM=X Pilates. I’ve always wanted to try Pilates on the reformer machine and working out IM=X was definitely a treat.
Each session starts with a brief series of stretch exercises on the floor and then moving up to the reformer machine for various arms and legs exercises. The exercises are not set routines so the classes are not boring and mindless, you really have to pay attention to your breathing and core control.
Pros:
each class has a maximum of 8 students
reserve your spot online
get more attention from the instructor
Cons:
people reserve the spot online and don’t show up
limited class schedule
class time feels too short, maybe 90 minutes would be better
a bit on the expensive side
