Here are the Twin Cities studios that earned the strongest marks from real ClassPass members for reformer and Lagree-style training across Minneapolis and St. Paul.

  1. 1

    • 4.9
    • 18,670 reviews

    Uptown's Megaformer studio operates at the intensity end of the Twin Cities reformer spectrum, drawing clients who train seriously and expect instructors to match that commitment. The 45-minute class format combines slow, high-tension sequences that leave muscles shaking in the best possible way.

    Reviewers who have tried Lagree across multiple Twin Cities locations consistently rate this one highest, pointing to instructors who have fully mastered the method and class programming that varies enough to prevent adaptation. For members who want the gold standard of Lagree training in the metro, this is it.

    "First time trying Lagree and it was amazing. The instructor was attentive and helped me with my posture throughout. I will definitely be back!"

    Slow, controlled movements on a Lagree-inspired reformer machine produce measurable results in 50-minute sessions, and Twin Cities members have responded to the formula in large numbers. The coach-led format with 13-person class caps keeps the experience personal enough that real corrections happen throughout class.

    Reviewers new to reformer-style training frequently identify [solidcore] as a turning point for their fitness practice, while regulars note the programming variation keeps the body from adapting. A go-to for Twin Cities members who want data-backed, low-impact intensity.

    "First time ever taking a Lagree class. This was such a great experience and honestly humbled me. I wish there were starter classes every day because I love this instructor. So motivating."

Clear class level designations make it easy for anyone from first-timers to experienced practitioners to find the right session, and the reformer and sculpt formats give regulars variety to keep progressing.

    Reviewers consistently highlight the patient corrections and the inclusive atmosphere, noting that even advanced practitioners benefit from the form-focused instruction. A reliable anchor for the southwest metro's reformer Pilates community.

    • 9,880 reviews

    Athletic reformer classes with a music-driven format attract Twin Cities members who want the results of Pilates without a slow or overly meditative pace. The power reformer sessions here layer barre and strength-training elements into what remains, at its core, a proper reformer class.

    Reviewers point to instructors who demonstrate moves clearly and circulate through the room during class, which makes the experience feel individualized even in a group setting. A strong option for Twin Cities members building a regular reformer practice alongside other training modalities.

  5. 5

    Pilates on Fifth, Minneapolis

    • 4.8
    • 8,640 reviews

    Classical reformer training in a well-appointed downtown-adjacent studio draws Twin Cities members who want the Pilates method taught with precision. The instructors here integrate breath into every sequence, which distinguishes the classes from the athletic formats that dominate much of the metro's reformer market.

    Regulars describe this as the studio that deepened their understanding of Pilates rather than simply giving them a workout. Reviewers with experience at studios across both Minneapolis and St. Paul consistently name it as one of the most methodologically sound options in the market.

    "This is my second day at the studio. Equipment feels new and the instructors have been great. I'm so excited to integrate Pilates into my routine."

  6. 6

    The Studio, Edina, Minneapolis metro

    • 4.8
    • 7,290 reviews

    Small class sizes in Edina produce an intimacy that the larger Twin Cities studios can't offer. The reformer and tower programming here runs across multiple difficulty levels, and instructors have the room to address individual form issues that get lost in bigger group settings.

    Reviewers frequently mention that instructors know their students by name and track progress across sessions. For Twin Cities members who want a studio that functions more like a community than a fitness service, this is a strong answer in the southwest metro.

    "Really great instructor and class! It's a super small class and you'll absolutely get one-on-one moments with the instructor. I'm excited to go again."
    "Such a wonderful class. The instructor was so friendly, warm, and funny. The workout was challenging in the best way. Already scheduled to come back!"
    "Best Pilates class I've ever taken. The instructor is awesome and really pushes you to your best."
  7. 7

    Forma Studios, Minneapolis

    • 4.8
    • 6,120 reviews

    Modern reformer programming that leans athletic in its design brings in Twin Cities members who want visible fitness results from their spring-resistance training. The heated mat sessions here draw loyal regulars who value the physical benefits of training warm, particularly through Minnesota winters when cold muscles need extra time to open up.

    Reviewers describe dynamic class formats and instructor energy that keeps the 50-minute session feeling efficient. A solid mid-week option for Twin Cities members who want something that sits between traditional Pilates and the full Lagree intensity.

    "I recently attended my first Megaformer Pilates class and it was fantastic! The instructor's guidance was clear, encouraging, and perfectly paced for a beginner like me."
    "Just had my first workshop Pilates class. [Instructor] was absolutely amazing! Great flow, great music, all around great vibes!"

  8. 8

    Core Power Yoga, Minneapolis

    • 4.8
    • 5,380 reviews

    Primarily a yoga studio, this Minneapolis location also offers sculpt and Pilates-adjacent classes that attract Twin Cities members looking for spring-resistance and body-weight training in a familiar, well-organized environment. The heated format adds a layer of intensity that makes the sessions feel more demanding than standard mat classes.

    Reviewers who cross-train between yoga and Pilates find the programming here complementary to a broader fitness routine. The instructor quality is consistently highlighted, and the studio environment is accessible without being overly casual about form.

    "My first Pilates class and I had the best time! The instructor was very helpful, descriptive about movements, and helped my form. Amazing!"
    "Such a great class. Instructor gave great corrections and was very attentive to each person throughout."
    "Best class I've had in a while. The instructor made me feel so comfortable and welcome as someone who was new to the reformer."
  9. 9

    Fly Wheel Sports, Minneapolis

    • 4.8
    • 4,590 reviews

    The reformer sessions here occupy one part of a broader fitness programming menu, which brings in a diverse Twin Cities crowd and gives instructors practice managing rooms with a range of experience levels. The community feel inside the studio is frequently cited as something that makes the experience different from the more clinical Lagree environments in the metro.

    Reviewers highlight the instructor energy as a consistent strong point, with coaches who create genuine collective momentum in the room. A practical option for ClassPass members building variety into their Twin Cities weekly schedule.

    "This instructor is a true fitness expert. From the cues to the playlist, you'll love this class. The studio also has the best vibe. Everyone there is truly kind. I'm absolutely hooked."

    • 4.7
    • 3,820 reviews

    A mindful, lower-intensity reformer approach in Minnetonka fills a distinct niche in the Twin Cities market, serving members who want spring-based resistance training without the Lagree intensity or the competitive atmosphere of the Uptown studios. The sessions here work especially well for members returning from injury, newer exercisers, or anyone who values precision over pace.

    Reviewers describe instructors who invest in individual client progress across multiple sessions. For west-metro Twin Cities members who want reformer training that feels like a wellness practice rather than a performance, this is the studio to try.

    "Looking for a classical mat Pilates class. This is it. [Instructor] provides great cues and exercises throughout the class."
    "I really liked this class. Pilates circuit rotation of exercises. The instructor was knowledgeable and checked in throughout."
