→ Still protects your margins
If you want premium positioning:
$22.99–$24.99 per class equivalent
(Ex: 8x/mo for $185–$199)

IM=X® Pilates and Fitness+2Facebook+2
8. Club Pilates (multiple SA locations: Stevens Ranch, Quarry, etc.)
Type: National reformer chain – multiple neighborhoods.
Example: Stevens Ranch location page lists address/schedule but no public pricing. Club Pilates
For San Antonio specifically:
They advertise a free intro class
Actual membership tiers (4x, 8x, unlimited) are behind “call/app” wall
So for Club Pilates SA, you can say:
“Pricing not published online; typical model is 4, 8, and unlimited class memberships with per-class drop-in, but exact numbers must be confirmed per location.”
9. Studio 1604 – Pilates in Stone Oak
Type: Pilates studio (reformer appears in class imagery & description).
Their class description page details beginner/intermediate Pilates, including reformer imagery, but does not show explicit pricing for reformer on that page. JOIN NOW
Likely: pricing is via direct inquiry or scheduling system only.
10. inBalance Studios (multiple SA areas)
Type: Multimodal boutique (yoga, barre, Pilates, dance).
Site has marketing around “Why Reformer Pilates in San Antonio is worth a try”, but the membership/pricing table isn’t fully visible publicly on the home/IG landing page. inbalancestudios.com
This is probably similar to others: reformer access is via broader membership tiers; exact prices require contact/app.

Sorted list:

Median = $22.50 per class
The median ($22.50) is the best representation of the market because:
Drop-ins inflate the mean
Membership-based usage aligns with per-class equivalents
Most SA studios cluster around $20–$25 per class
Median = $22.50 is the sweet spot.
