Pilates Concepts of Houston

The entire staff is awesome! John is amazing, and somehow always seems to be there. There are numerous private instructors who give individualized instruction. They are attentive, nice and cute! The studio is very clean and professional, catering to a number of River Oaks clients, as well as working class people like me. I always feel emotionally comfortable, while my body is screaming to stop. Still, it’s the best workout and the best group of people I’ve found!

Houston has many Pilates studios and many good instructors, but this is the only place that you can come and work out on your own schedule under the guidance of great teachers. Although Pilates himself ran an «open studio» there are no others that I know of in the city, and few in the country. Yet for someone who wants to work out more than once a week, this is probably the only financially reasonable way to do it. We are fortunate that John Gosset has been dedicated to maintaining a reasonably priced «open studio» in the true Pilates tradition. That said — everything the other reviewers have said is true. Great instructors (both the open studio and private), a calm inviting atmosphere, and great equipment. I look forward to the hours that I spend there, and I am never disappointed.

Great Pilates studio and instructors. I started as a newbie 10 years here and it is still a great place to go.

Pilates Concepts is totally professional and first rate. For a beginning Pilates person to the most experienced, one gets excellent instruction and oversight.

This is the best Pilates studio in town and here are the reasons why:
1. John Gosset is the owner and teaches Pilates. There is no one in Houston better or more knowledgeable than John. If you are doing Pilates at another studio, chances are your instructor was trained by John.
2. Pilates Concepts of Houston is the only open studio in Houston. When you start, you do a series of private lessons so you can learn how to use the Reformer, Cadillac, etc. After you know what you are doing, you can schedule time to come in and workout on your own, with an instructor who circulates around giving advice and help for those who need it. This enables you to come work on the Reformer, Cadillac and other equipment at your convenience. No other studio in Houston operates in this way. This also lowers the cost.
3. The studio is very clean, well-​laid out and relaxing. There is soft music playing which makes for a very nice environment.
I have been taking private lessons with John for almost 2 years. My lessons are never boring because he never runs out of new things to try. Although I like the reformer, I am amazed at how many different things that John teaches me on the Cadillac. He is very detailed and teaches proper technique. Pilates has completely changed my body.
I have tried other studios where you pay $ 30 to be on a reformer next to other sweaty people, with loud music thumping and an instructor calling out commands. This is not that kind of place.
If you want to learn the proper way to do Pilates and have the flexibility to work out when it is best for you, this is the place. I cannot recommend John Gossett and Pilates Concepts of Houston any more highly! Fantastic Place!

A lovely space and expert instructors who have been teaching Pilates well before it became so fashionable. They really know what they are doing and how to maximize results and prevent injuries.

Good equipment, clean, welcoming environment, central location, and excellent professional instruction.

Love Pilates concepts of Houston! Open Studio is the best deal in town if you’re doing more than just mat work. I utilize the reformer, cadillac, raised mats, spine corrector, side stretch thingy (no idea what it’s called), resistance bands, balls… So much cool stuff to work with and the best Pilates nerd in town: John Gosset. So fascinating to see the parade of ballet dancers coming in from time to time.

They support local organizations like Houston Give 5 and give back to the environment and local nonprofits. I work next door and get to see happy looking customers going in and out all the time. I was very impressed with the lighting and overall feel of the place and would recommend to any Pilates practitioners at any level.

Called to get information… These people are jerks. If you dont want my business… that’s fine but no need to be rude.

Buyer beware!
I bought a deal find, similar to groupon, voucher for $ 275 that explicitly stated no expiry. When I tried to use it the business would not honor it… so they chose to keep my $ 275! What a rip off! It’s sad when bad customer service and business practices get in the way of attracting new clients!!!
