Came here for a pilates reformer class during a visit to see my partner's family. The sign up fee was only $15 for a first time class, which was such a great deal. The studio is downtown in a little plaza with several other shops, with lots of parking available. The inside of the studio was stunning - so clean, so well lit, honestly felt like you were going into a spa. The reformers were particularly nice in the room we were in, as there were only 2 so it really felt like you were doing 1:1 training. Judy led our class who was wonderful - I'm so used to doing classes that push you to

I just started classes a few weeks ago and couldnt be happier with Jacaranda. The Hot Pilates, Hot Iron Yoga, and Hot Barre have been amazing! All equally challenging but Mallory gives great cues and body checks to make sure your form and workouts are great for your body and your level. So glad I tried these for the 7 day trial! I highly recommend to anyone wanting to try classes!

I have two friends who have encouraged me to attend after they have raved about Jacaranda and I am sooo glad I finally went. The instructors are absolutely amazing and inclusive as are the attendees. I cannot say enough about my experiences so far. I feel stronger and better about myself than I have in a very long time!

Always a great experience at Jacaranda! I notice a big difference in my hip mobility and overall flexibility when I regularly attend. I have tried many of the instructors and they are all very skilled and knowledgeable. Matt has been very helpful and I appreciate him being able to find the point of discomfort allowing for growth yet not passing into injury. I would recommend them to anyone, either beginner or advanced as they always provide variations of poses making them easier or more difficult.
