I took my first class at Pilates Joe today. It was challenging and quite varied. The staff is welcoming and very friendly. PJ was the most affordable pilates class I found. I signed up for a 2 week trial for $65. I'm sure i'll continue after that. I really enjoyed the workout, but I wouldn't rely on this to be my only workout.
1 week later......My 2 week trial is over and while the instructors are lovely people, i've removed 2 stars. Let me start by saying i've been practicing Pilates 6+ years The class just wasn't balanced. There was way more upper body work than lower body. Just about every exercise was flexion based, with literally 1-2 extensions. My poor shoulder joints couldn't take it anymore. There format is fine for the occassional workout, but I couldn't do it anymore than that. This is just my opinion.
