I commenced taking Pilates classes with Claudia at The Hundred and More in June 2016 utilizing the new student package. The one-on-one sessions with Claudia really helped me prepare for the group sessions. Gradually, I have grasped some fundamentals and now eagerly anticipate each class, although I initially felt intimidated and contemplated quitting. Some of the discomfort in my back and neck from long hours at the computer has dissipated, and I sense my core becoming stronger.
This splendid Pilates studio houses top-notch Pilates equipment and is managed professionally, yet exudes a personal, familial ambiance. Claudia and Rebecca are firm instructors but also exhibit care and friendliness. It may be a tad pricey, with classes priced at $30 each, however, the class sizes are small, ensuring you receive individual attention throughout. I highly recommend giving it a go!
I began my Pilates journey back in March 2015, and after dabbling in various studios, I recently stumbled upon The Hundred & More in the East Bay. Let me tell you, mate, this place is the bee's knees! I reached out to the owner, Claudia, and she was quick as a fox in responding to my inquiries about pricing and scheduling.
When I first set foot in the studio, I was gobsmacked by how spick and span it was. The whole setup gave off a proper down-to-earth vibe that I just couldn't resist. Claudia is an absolute gem - her knowledge and passion for Pilates shines through in every session. Working with her is a right grand time, and her group classes are top-notch as well!
I can tell you that since starting Pilates, my lower back pain has become as rare as hen's teeth. I feel stronger, more balanced, and aligned, thanks to Claudia's classical teaching style. If you're keen on learning Pilates the old-fashioned way by the master himself, Joseph Pilates, then The Hundred & More is the place for you, no doubt about it!
Greetings,
Even though "exercise" has been a part of my life for quite some time, given my background as a Physical Therapist treating numerous patients, what's new is that I now prioritize exercise for my own benefit. I find Pilates appealing due to its emphasis on strengthening stabilization muscles as opposed to the larger muscle groups. The team at Hundred and More excels in consistently reminding clients to focus on lengthening throughout all movements. Given my body's tight areas, I also enjoy incorporating some Yoga into my workouts. The studio provides a delightful environment for both practice and training. Personally, I find a combination of mat classes and personal sessions best suited to my needs, allowing for flexibility in my routine.

Hello,
Even though "exercise" has always been a part of my life, as a Physical Therapist treating many patients. What's different now is that I've started to focus on exercising for my own benefit.
I appreciate Pilates because it emphasizes strengthening stabilizing muscles rather than the larger muscle groups. The team at Hundred and More does a great job of constantly reminding us to focus on creating length with each movement.
Since I have some tight areas in my body, I also enjoy incorporating a bit of Yoga into my workouts.
The studio is a delightful place to come and exercise. Personally, I find that a mat class and individual workout sessions at my own pace work best for me. I really love this flexibility.

This is the sole Classical Pilates studio in the vicinity; boasting Gratz equipment, extensively knowledgeable instructors with over 10 years of experience, and exceptional classes. A hidden gem in WC! Undoubtedly the finest Pilates studio I've had the pleasure of working out at in 15 years.
I was wanting to improve my posture with pilates, but was having difficulty finding an instructor. Then I came across Claudia. She guided me at my own rhythm and was key in me staying committed to pilates. I also started working with Shari who progressed me further in understanding my body. I might have quit pilates if I hadn't discovered this studio. Thank you for aiding me in my wellness journey.

Gradually, I've picked up some fundamentals and now look forward to each class, even though I initially felt overwhelmed and considered quitting! Some of my back and neck discomfort from sitting at the computer all day have disappeared, and I can feel my core getting stronger.
This lovely Pilates studio is equipped with top-notch Pilates gear and is operated professionally yet maintains a warm, familial atmosphere. Claudia and Rebecca are strict task-masters but also caring and approachable. It is a bit pricey, at $30 per class, but the class sizes are small, and you receive individual attention throughout.

I did want to correct my posture through Pilates but was having trouble finding an instructor. Then I came across Claudia. She taught me at my own pace and was instrumental in keeping me committed to Pilates. I also started working with Shari, who furthered my understanding of my own body. I would have given up on Pilates if I hadn't found this studio. Thank you for supporting me on my journey to wellness.
Great for individuals of every level and age. My mother and I have thoroughly enjoyed attending this studio for our workouts since the very start.
My preferred exercises have typically involved mountain biking and playing softball, and I've generally steered clear of busy gyms. I'm delighted I decided to give Pilates a chance at this lovely studio a year ago. They emphasize small classes, offer plenty of individualized attention in a relaxed environment. I now eagerly anticipate my visits to this stunning Pilates Studio. Claudia is fantastic to collaborate with, and I've had the pleasure of working with both Rebeccas.
I began my Pilates journey two years back in March of 2015. Though I enjoyed the exercises, I found myself yearning for a more classical form of instruction. So, a little over a month ago, I decided to delve into researching Pilates studios in the East Bay once more. My search led me to The Hundred & More, and it did not disappoint. I reached out to the owner, Claudia, via email to discuss pricing and scheduling, and she responded promptly, addressing all my queries thoughtfully and in detail.
Upon stepping into the studio for the first time, I was truly impressed by its cleanliness and immaculate appearance. Everything was neatly organized, and the setup emanated a genuine, down-to-earth vibe that immediately resonated with me, much like Claudia herself.
After several private sessions with Claudia, I can confidently say that I thoroughly enjoy our collaboration. Her extensive knowledge and passion for Pilates shine through, making the learning process of the classical way both fun and accessible, something I greatly appreciate. I also had the pleasure of attending one of her group classes, which was fantastic! It was a delightful experience to meet new individuals, exercise together, and achieve a harmonious flow under Claudia's expert guidance.
I eagerly anticipate continuing my work with her and participating in more group classes. It's worth mentioning that practicing Pilates has significantly reduced the excruciating lower back pain I used to experience. Now, I am mostly pain-free and feel a marked improvement in my strength, balance, and body alignment. If you're seeking to feel better and delve into the authentic Pilates method crafted by Joseph Pilates himself, then this studio is undoubtedly the perfect fit for you!
