Pilates in Carlsbad

“Look forward to my Sunday class with Samira every week. Challenging in the best ways!“

“Such a welcoming environment and a great traditional Pilates workout. I stopped by for a class while on vacation in Carlsbad and enjoyed the atmosphere of this studio.“

“Elizabeth is the best wax girl ever !!! ? I traded my old wax girl of years to Elizabeth because of the comfort level , the quality in wax , and the love she always shows ! I finally get to do waxes every 4-6 months instead of every 2 months. Clean waxes and such a vibe“

“I have trained with Denise at Fit Monkeys for about a year. She is extremely professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and cool. I had some body pain and she went above and beyond to help me get it sorted. She did research, modified our workouts, and gave me practical homework. I’m no longer in pain and when it flares up momentarily I use it as a reminder to do the moves Denise taught me. My goals were strength, stability, overall health. I believe I am in the best shape of my life because of my work with Denise. I have worked with several trainers and have never gotten this level of knowledgable support. I cannot recommend this studio enough!! If you’re looking to get out of pain, get in shape, move your body in a mindful way this is the place!!“

“This was my first reformer Pilates class and Madi was very welcoming and her instructions made it easy to follow the class. I enjoyed my first class and looking forward to taking reformer Pilates this year. I would recommend and looking forward to my next class.“

“Life changing, heart opening!

From the bottom of my heart, working with Shannon has changed my life. I’m 32 and three years ago, I was having debilitating neck and back pain. I was working with a chiropractor, massage therapist and acupuncturist, and I’m a certified yoga teacher.

Still, I found myself in the ER/urgent care every other month to receive steroidal injections and painkillers. As someone who values a more natural approach to wellness, my doctor recommended (actually prescribed) Pilates. He said, “I bet you’ll be in here a lot less if you try it.” And he was right.

I found Shannon via Instagram when I was living in La Costa. After a quick phone call and preliminary session, I was hooked. We started slow and easy because I was rehabbing so many injuries and over the last three years have built our way up to more challenging and advanced pilates.

Everything from classical to experimental, there’s never a dull moment with Shannon—she’s the best. I recently was re-examined by my chiropractor, and they said they were shocked by how much my spinal issues improved — there are nearly no lingering signs of scoliosis, and I owe it to Pilates in Aviara!“
