Be Pilates

This place is beautiful and I was so excited when they landed in my barrio here in Buenos Aires. Lamentable the teachers are not well trained and the classes are run like a money making factory . The work outs are not complete and the routines are very basic. Además the admin system is very difficult to deal with. Very inflexible and unhelpful. No in person relating at all / only by email and online and super impersonal. I’ve been living here for 25 years off and on in Buenos Aires and South America and have been to many salons for classes never felt so unwelcome nor poorly treated. Maybe its just a thing that they have against ´foreigners´at this particular salon. At the end of my first class back after 6 months the professor disappeared and did not come back into the class. After nearly ten minutes I decided to leave and write an email to the owner and let her know I would pay on MOnday when I wanted to come again with another professor. She informed that I was not allowed back in the studio with a debt of one class neither to pay nor to come and take another class. In the same email I mentioned that I had some comments that I wanted to share with her about the professor but would like to take another class but with a different professor. The teacher was not at all adept at showing how to do anything . She would put on the floor next to the reformers and then demonstrate two beds down where no one could see. At one point I didnt know how to do something and she told me to watch the student next to me instead of showing me how to do the exercise. Probably who I was writing to was the professor so then instead of wanting to hear my comments they just told me not to come back. Great business model. Too bad they are so unfriendly and unwelcoming I was excited to have them in the neighborhood.

The classes are the best because the teachers are excellent!! I enjoy and work a lot in my classes with Anto!!! In addition, the place is divine, excellent setting and pilates machines. Since I started Pilates, not only have I changed my posture, but my lower back doesn't hurt anymore. I highly recommend it!
