Valance Pilates studio

This review is from a male. More men should do Pilates! DONT BE SHY guys. Pilates has improved my Olympic Weightlifting among other things. Come get humbled! I live part time in LV and needed a local studio to do Pilates while in town. I found this gem and decided to buy a few classes. Although I do Pilates regularly, I still feel akward and sometimes nervous when taking a class at a new studio. My first class at Valance was in the evening with Cylie. She was welcoming and I enjoyed her class. Other clients were welcoming as well and I didn’t feel any type of judgement. I went back the following morning and took a class with Lessy. So good! I felt challenged and my abs were burning at the end of class. 🔥 The studio itself is nice and well maintained. I saw a bad review mentioning lack of cleanliness and cleaning supplies That was not my experience. The place isn’t necessarily sl100% spotless but I’ve been to enough studios to know this studio is in good shape. There was also fresh towels and full spray bottles to clean. I like that the studio isn’t too big or crammed with reformers. My Studio in CA has 25 reformers in 1 room and I have to say I prefer the smaller more intamate feel of Valance. Less is more. Clients get more attention in smaller studios too. Overall, I recommend Valance. If you are curious about Pilates, Valance js a good place to start your journey since it’s small and you’ll get more attention from the instructor. I wish them much success and I will for sure be attending Valance whenever I’m in town.

I just literally got out of a class but I had to write a review to say how AMAZING this studio is. I have damaged my back overtime due to my career and I went from being someone with good conditioning to being limited in what I can do. Every instructor has been amazing but a big thank you to Miss Lessy. She found a way to accommodate me and although I know it sets me apart from the class she was still able to focus on the rest of the class and help me get my body going. She is great at multitasking and such a sweet angel! Made me feel like I could keep going even at times my body wanted to give up on me 💌

I attended my first Pilates class today at 9:30 am. I was greeted by Les, who informed me that I would be the only student for the session. I was fortunate to have a one-on-one session, especially since it was my first day back after three months of not doing any physical activity. Les challenged me to my limits and the workout gave me Pilates shakes. She was incredibly kind and helpful, correcting my form when necessary and offering me valuable information. I highly recommend this Pilates studio to all the girls on the East Side. Treat yourself to some self-care!

Today officially completes my first month at Valance and I just have to say Fernanda has definitely made the membership worth my money(and that’s coming from a girl who used to use class pass to save a buck)!! I had been doing Pilates for a while using class pass, trying out different studios and I did notice that a lot of studios teach either very athletic form or very classical Pilates and with Fernanda you get all of that in one instructor!! some days she has us doing old-school Pilates, sometimes she has us doing Athletic style Pilates and sometimes it’s a mix of both even!! On the cardio days we use the jump board, which is my absolute favorite! I really believe that every time I come into her classes, I am going to get a great workout. She has a great vibe. She explains everything so well and is very patient with a lot of girls who I have noticed are very new to it! This Studio and Fernanda have definitely made Pilates the highlight of my week! Every class with Fernanda is very different and she keeps us on our toes (literally) Not only is Fernanda great but the studio itself has such a homey vibe that definitely does not feel like a lot of studios that feel very corporate. I love coming in here!

This review is in NO WAY about the instructors Kylie and Fernanda I give both of those girls a 10/10 rating (not a fan of Leslie but I just don't take her classes) This is about the studio itself Being on the East side I was excited to finally have something close to home but it is not meeting the standards of other studios in Vegas I have been too, even smaller ones and the price is not justified. The studio itself is not great, the walls are messy, the floors were poorly installed, the mirrors are always dirty, the spray bottles we use to clean after class are often low on liquid and we have to share and overall looks very low budget. I have no idea who the owner is so can't put a face to her/him. No front desk person to help with our membership needs. If I'm being honest, Fernanda is the reason I am still here. She teaches in a way that makes all of us feel like we are friends having a good girl hour while kicking our butts. She loves teaching and it shows! I take Kylies classes if they align with my schedule and Fernanda isn't in and I also love her! Leslie teaches with very minimal use of the reformer and that is why I avoid her classes but she's a very sweet girl, I'm sure she has girls who also love her as much as I love the other 2. I have had convos with a few of the other clients(we are all friends at this point, pilates will do that lol) and we all agree, if Fernanda ever leaves, we WILL follow her even if it means a further drive. I write this out of love and hope the owner can step it up and make this studio a great one. It just needs some love
