Pilates can be one of the more expensive forms of exercise, but with a goal of making it more accessible to everyone, Club Pilates offers unlimited classes ($199-$279 per month, depending on location) with the first class free. Founded in San Diego in 2007, the studio offers a more modern version of the exercise, sometimes using accessories like Bosu balls and TRX. Dallas locations include locations in Lakewood, Lake Highlands and Preston Hollow.

Vibe: It’s bustling with activity, the lights are dim and the place is packed with mums returning from school for their morning classes.

Founded by longtime local Pilates instructor Brittany Grignon, the airy, breezy green studio has developed a loyal following since opening its first Session Pilates location on Fitzhugh Avenue in 2016.
