Ritual Reform X Pilates

From the first class I took i was instantly hooked. There was an instant welcome to the community of ladies and encouragement. I have never stuck with any type of work out schedule until I joined ritual reform. Not only have I got stronger and healthier physically I also got stronger and healthier mentally. All the instructors are amazing and encouraging. The owner Sarah is so sweet and welcoming this place has become one of my favorite places to be. The workouts are intense but boy do you feel awesome and accomplished afterwards! I would recommend checking this place out you'll thank yourself!

I’m not sure I can do this Pilates boutique justice, but I will give it a try! I took a complimentary 30 minute intro class back in October and I started breaking a sweat within the first ten minutes of the workout! This is incredibly different from traditional Pilates and I LOVE IT. I’ve taken about 30 classes and I’m noticing a lot of differences in my body in such a short period of time. The Xformer is challenging, is guaranteed to make you sweat and shake, and you definitely feel “worked out” after the 50 minutes are up! I also love the full-body focus, as I prefer to work out my body this way, rather than focusing on one area of my body per work out per day. I have an 8-class monthly pack and it’s perfect to have two classes per week at Ritual coupled with yoga for my balance and flexibility, as well as traditional Pilates to target my smaller muscle groups and my ankle mobility. Sarah is amazing! She has been so wonderful answering all my questions and is so good to her clients! I had to cancel within the 12-hour window once (I had a terrible week and had to say goodbye to one of my fur babies the next day) and it was several hours before the workout, but a cancellation policy is what it is for a reason. BUT, Sarah was so understanding and allowed me to keep the credit and cancel the single class. It meant so much to me! I also love how positive the instructors are! I’ve taken classes from Sarah, Melanie, Mollie, Andie, Tiffany, and Aubree and ALL of them have their own unique style and I’ve loved ALL of their classes. I also met Chelsea and a few other of my girls from the Pilates community like Cat while at the studio and they are all so supportive! On top of that, women and men of all body types are in my classes and I’ve never felt more of a community-based, feminist-fueled atmosphere at any other gym or boutique studio. Even if you don’t crush the work out, the instructors are able to provide feedback, hands-on and off corrections, and encouragement (and it helps they always think you crush it haha!). I am happy to report that my membership is worth every penny and I love and hate that I still start shaking in the first 10 minutes of each work out! ? thank you so much for bringing the Xformer to the Central Coast, Ritual Reform!

First off, I have to be honest. I was hesitant to try Ritual because I felt like I wouldn’t fit in, I don’t have a “Pilates” body. I was wrong. I always feel welcomed and supported. All of the teachers help correct my form, encourage me, and you can tell they want you to be the best version of yourself. I have truly loved how I feel every time I leave Ritual, shaky legs and all! I know I will have a good day if I start with Ritual.

Absolutely love Ritual Reform Pilates. Such a sweet owner and awesome instructors. I feel so strong and finally have some ab strength after having 2 kids. Love how it works every muscle, even the small accessory muscles I normally don’t get to in my garage gym. Highly recommend! Worth every penny!

I’ve only been able to experience RR with class passes, but every class I’ve taken, I’ve left feeling accomplished and stronger each time. If you need a butt kicking workout, this is the place to go. RR was my first experience with Pilates on the reformer machine and I’ve loved the experience compared to mat Pilates. I feel like I’m using every muscle in my body with focus all while having fun.

There is nothing like Ritual. The machines are made for your body. The small class size makes it very difficult to get into a time slot but it also says a lot for how desirable the studio is. Not to mention the specified care you receive when the class is smaller. Class starts on time which is awesome. Instructors are very adept at what they do and move at a swift pace so you stay focused. The music is fun and engaging as well. You feel like you are truly achieving results but more importantly is that you are actually receiving amazing results.

Couldn't recommend this studio enough! I have been coming to this studio for about 6 months now and love every part of it. The owner Sarah is amazing and all the instructors are helpful and informative. This was a new style of pilates for me and there was definitely a learning curve. In the beginning, you learn the sequencing and name of the moves, but the workout doesn't get any easier in terms of intensity. You will never get bored. Get ready to burn the tiniest muscles in your body that you never knew existed. I feel like it has slowly transformed my body and I keep coming back because of the results. I feel stronger after every class. Because of the small class size, your instructor can walk around and provide adjustments to make sure you are feeling the burn in all the right places. They also never make you feel bad about taking breaks, just as long as you are doing the moves correctly. If you need them, modifications are always given. I have now been to many other studios that do the same kind of pilates and Ritual Reform is by far my favorite all around.

I absolutely love this workout! The instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable. They will encourage you to push yourself beyond any other exercise you've ever done, guaranteed. You will almost immediately feel your body become stronger. You can also expect improved balance and a leaner physique. I am personally athletic already, but this class is something anyone can do if they're looking to improve their overall musculoskeletal fitness. For athletes, it will absolutely improve your performance in your given sport. It's a must try!
