Membership rip off

I haven’t even got this out of the package due to work commitments! I haven’t even had the package- which took 4 weeks to arrive - for 3 weeks ! I’ve been charged a membership with me asking about cancelling and being told I’ve did the 28 day trial! I’ve not had it for 28 days so that’s not good ! I was advised to cancel through’ manage subscriptions’ but no verification code was sent to continue cancelling! I’ve instructed my bank to block and future payment! I still want to cancel el so please respond to this and verify an can’t!

Hi Gillian,

I'm truly sorry for the frustration and confusion this experience has caused you. That’s not the smooth and supportive experience we want for anyone.

Please rest assured, we've gone ahead and confirmed your membership is now fully cancelled, and you will no longer be charged moving forward.

If you have any other questions or need help with anything else, we're here for you.

Thank you for your patience and for bringing this to our attention.

Warm regards,

GREAT app!

GREAT app!! The reformer board is so fun but I wanted a program that will tell me exactly what to do rather than me coming up with the exercise and frequency. Amanda and this app does just that! There are so many workout programs to choose from of varying lengths and difficulty. I will definitely keep doing this workout app!

The email transmission between me and…

The email transmission between me and 28pilates was good until I requested a refund. I've been trying for 2 days. I've had one response and replied to that response with still no guidance on what's next to receive a refund. Their refund policy is very simple in writing yet, not so simple in reality.

Hi Debra,

Thank you so much for reaching out and for your honest feedback. We truly understand how frustrating this has been. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience you've experienced.

Just to clarify, it looks like you joined our program and remained enrolled past the free trial, which is when the standard $39.99 membership fee was automatically applied. That said, we recognize that this process hasn’t been as smooth or straightforward as it should be, and we’re actively working to improve our support experience to better serve you and others in the future.

We genuinely appreciate your patience and understanding, and I’m here if you have any other questions or need further assistance, I’d be more than happy to help.

Warm regards,

Do not believe the website

Delivery says 3 days, do not expect your package to arrive in this time! Took 10 days to arrive. No apology and poor excuse that “it can take longer” so the answer to that is to be transparent on the website and not express a 3 day delivery if it is not physically possible.
I made the order with extra added items, half of them did not arrive with the order. Seeing some of the reviews it looks like I am not the only one so it’s not a one off mistake. No apology, no explanation. Poor customer service. No confidence of rectifying the problem and serious concerns with the website misleading and misselling the products in the package and delivery.

Hi S,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m truly sorry to hear about the delays and missing items, this is certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and I completely understand your frustration.

Due to a recent high volume of orders and unexpected delays with our shipping carriers, both processing and transit times have unfortunately taken longer than usual. That said, we recognize how important clear and accurate delivery expectations are, and we’re actively working to improve transparency on our website to better reflect real-time shipping conditions.

We also sincerely apologize for the missing items and the lack of clear communication. For any items that did not arrive, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team directly at hello@28pilates.com, we’ll make it a priority to resolve this for you as quickly as possible.

Your feedback is extremely valuable, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. If there's anything we can do to make things right or assist you further, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Warm regards,

DOUBLE ORDER

My wife and I both ordered this morning 5/13/25. (thinking the other person was taking care of it) I was charged $139.99 and she $149.98 + $24.99. Upon realizing the error I tried to contact the company via their c-s address "hello @28pilates.com" , hoping to cancel all three (3) orders before being processed. Unfortunately I've not received a response yet.

Hi Joe,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear about the confusion with your recent orders.

Just to clarify, you did join our program and remained enrolled beyond the trial period, which is when the standard $39.99 membership fee was applied. That said, we completely understand that you reached out to request a refund, and we’ve fully honored that request — your payment has been refunded, and your membership has been canceled and removed, as confirmed.

We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this process. If you or your wife need any further assistance or clarification on the additional orders, please don’t hesitate to reach out, we’re here to help.

Horrible product

Horrible product. Flimsy piece of plastic, my daughter and I tried it. The whole board moves with you. That makes no sense. Not worth the money and the fact you have to pay to ship back to get a refund for the product is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. Never again!

Hi Amanda,

We’re really sorry to hear that the board didn’t meet your expectations, especially after you and your daughter gave it a try. That’s not the experience we want anyone to have with our program.

The board should remain stable during workouts, and if it was shifting, we recommend trying a stability or yoga mat underneath the board, as it often helps keep the base in place during movement. That said, if the issue persists, we’d have been more than happy to look into a replacement.

We also understand how frustrating it is to cover return shipping. While that’s part of our current policy (unless an item arrives damaged), we’re actively re-evaluating it based on valuable feedback like yours.

If there's anything else we can do for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We truly appreciate your feedback and are here to help.

Warmly,

Bad service. RUNNNN

Good product, bad customer service. Save your money and email them for a specific link to remove your payment info. The skool thing was low quality experience. They advertise you can extend a free trial but make it difficult to cancel. I reached out on May 2nd and they charged me on May 5 I said cancel, and they charged me $39.99. So called "Free trial" with Skool course is a complete scammmmm. Waste of time find your own free info on the board anywhere on line. Can't believe how ridiculous this customer service experience was considering how accommodating they claim to be.

Hi Mwazomela,

Thanks for your feedback and we’re sorry to hear you felt this way.

Just to clarify, you did join our class and stayed beyond the trial period, which is when the standard $39.99 membership fee was applied. That said, we understand that you requested to cancel shortly after and we’ve fully honored your request: your payment was refunded and your membership has been removed, as confirmed.

We’re always working to improve the experience and make things clearer for members. If you have any questions or need anything else, feel free to reach out to us directly at hello@28pilates.com. We’re here to help.

Wishing you all the best,

Today I finished the 28 day challenge

Today I finished the 28 day challenge. It's been a journey since I started this program. I was hesitant at first since I knew nothing about Pilates or this program. On March 31st I decided to give it a shot. I ordered the board and it did take a little longer to get here than it was supposed to. Customer service was helpful with that, but they have a USPS Challenge you can do before the board arrives and those workouts were very helpful in getting to know pilates and get you ready for the board. The board finally came and I'm not going to lie I was nervous after my first day on it. It was hard keeping up with the transitions on the board, but with the encouragement and helpful advice from the community on the app. It got way better and I did become stronger everytime I used it. I ended up loving the workouts and this board. I looked forward to getting up every morning and using it. I even battled through having the worst headache because I did not want to give up. I love the people i met through this program and support I have recieved. I lost a total of 6lbs during this 28 day challenge. I did not take measurements for inches but I'm sure I lost some inches too. Since my clothes are fitting better, but not ready to buy a new wardrobe just yet. I still have some weight to lose.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing your journey and huge congratulations on finishing the 28 Day Challenge.

We know starting something new, especially Pilates, can feel intimidating, but you stayed committed even through headaches and hesitation. That takes real strength. It’s amazing to hear how much progress you’ve made and how much better you feel in your body. Six pounds down and clothes fitting better is a big deal.

We’re so proud of you and grateful to have you in the community. Keep going. You’ve already proven you can do hard things.

This company is very hard to get ahold…

This company is very hard to get ahold of. I have contacted them multiple times now with no responses and the only contact info they give you is their single email address. I have tried to cancel return and refund but they won’t respond. What a waste of money and a scam. They get you to buy but when you don’t want it anymore tough luck and they seem to be hiding bad reviews to. If you see this DONTbuy from them!!

Stay away from 28 Pilates!!

I bought a board for the 28 Pilates Challenge. Everything started out fine. They give you access to their workout videos via Skool app. That lasts for 28 days and then they automatically charge you 39.99 for a renewal. The board is okay, but a bit wonky. Something to get used to. What they don’t tell you is that the board breaks and the resistance bands snap very easily. They claim you cannot return or exchange your board after 30 days. Very convenient when most boards last just outside of the thirty days and then the resistance bands snap. And they are very readily available to tell you they are sorry, but your loss. Do not buy a board from this company. They are all about any scam they can get away with. Another scam they put people through is making you believe that you can WIN a 3 month 1 on 1 with one of their trainers. Where they pick 13 winners that will win a 3 month body transformation. Sounds amazing, right? Well, I was picked. Super excited. They asked me a few questions about my fitness routine and what my goals were. After telling my story they asked how much I’d be willing to invest. Umm…why do I have to invest if I am winning something? Because you are not winning anything! I said I was not able to invest and they said that unfortunately, I was no longer a winner. I messaged my trainer, Amanda Buthe about it and she completely ignored me, but did respond when I said my board broke. Again, do not spend money on 28 Pilates. It is not worth all the hassle, lies and scams!

Hi there

We’re truly sorry you feel this way and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We want to clarify a few important points.

We’ve already sent a replacement for your broken band and are always happy to help if any part of your equipment needs support — even outside the 30-day window. Our return policy is clearly outlined but we understand how frustrating it can feel if something goes wrong right after that period ends.

Regarding the 3-month transformation program, it is not advertised as a free giveaway. We select a limited group of women who get direct, daily access to a coach and a fully customized plan. We simply can’t offer that to everyone. It’s a high-accountability coaching experience with real-time support, and we’re always upfront about the structure and investment involved.

If there’s anything that still feels unresolved, please email us directly. We’re here to help however we can.

Don't waste your money

Don't waste your money. I deeply regret my purchase. For two weeks, I couldn’t even track where my order was. It finally arrived after 18 days, but the color was wrong—I ordered pink, and they sent purple. It was supposed to come with four gifts, but they didn’t send the belt. The left roller gets stuck, and there’s a bump where the timer is supposed to be fixed, which prevents it from attaching properly. This is a Chinese company and the material is very, very poor quality.

Also, when it arrived, the box and the plastic wrapping were torn.The timer doesn't work, and the reason is that they didn't install a battery.
The battery it requires is a very small watch-style battery, which is hard to find.
It's truly shameful how this company operates.
Their device is trash and disgusting.

Hi Maryam,

We’re really sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. That’s certainly not the standard we aim for. We’ve looked into your order and it seems there were several issues with shipping and fulfillment, including the wrong color and a missing accessory. We completely understand how frustrating that must have been.

We would love the opportunity to make this right. Please reach out to our support team at [insert email] with your order number so we can send any missing items, assist with the battery concern, and resolve this to your satisfaction.

Horrible experience. I was very unhappy with my reformer and wanted a refund. After much back and forth, they told me they shipped me a new one. I have no desire to have 2..let alone 1! Very unhappy especially when they advertise a no risk 28 day guarantee.

We’re genuinely sorry to hear this was your experience that’s never what we want. After your review, we sent a request for more information so we could look into your issue and resolve it, but unfortunately, we didn’t receive a reply within the 3-day window.

We also weren’t able to locate your order in our system, which made it difficult to investigate further. That said, we absolutely stand behind our 28-day guarantee and want to make this right.

28 and Feeling Great!

This experience was amazing it pushed me to my limits. When I thought I couldn’t do an exercise I proved myself wrong. The Instructor Amanda was wonderful throughout the 28 days. I didn’t have enough time with my free trial and the company was kind enough to give me the time to see if it worked for me. I noticed little differences in these 28 days and I feel stronger then ever. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me!

28Pilates

I was initially skeptical about another fitness program. As like many, I’ve tried countless ones — both online, in person, as well as fitness club memberships, personally tailored programs and group fitness etc. The 28Pilates program is by far the BEST program for anyone at any fitness level. It is self-paced but you can also select from many of the options offered in the program. As someone who is fighting the menopause battle, I found something that is FINALLY working! The content of the workouts and challenges are outstanding, but the best part is the community —exceptional, dedicated and motivating coaches, as well as supportive members who constantly inspire and motivate each other on one great team! I completed the 28-Day Challenge trial and did not hesitate to continue my fitness journey and membership. Give this one a try as you won’t regret it!

28pilates is where to go for the pilates board AND great workouts!

Pilates boards are taking the internet by storm, but there's a huge lack of resources when it comes to workout programs with the board. 28pilates.com gives you a fantastic variety of workouts through their monthly community program. But it isn't just the 28-day program with the pilates board that you get. There's also a 90-day bootcamp, a 17-day ab burner, loop workouts, chair workouts, and more. In addition, you have community support and new workouts to be found in the community forum.
Joining is very easy, as is accessing the classes. I counted somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 exercises you can do with this board, so pick out your favorites for various body parts and form your own workouts if you want to keep going past these advertised workouts.
