Pilates in La Jolla

“Isotiques is the perfect barre studio for multiple reasons. I’ve taken barre classes at several places but none have the unique, effective method that Isotiques delivers. When I first started taking classes here, I saw changes in my body after just 2 classes - no joke! It’s the only workout I did leading up to my wedding in order to get into optimal shape. You are guaranteed to get a thorough and intense workout every single time. They will push you to exert your best effort, but at the same time will not single you out or make you feel uncomfortable if you are struggling. The instructors are great at showing you modifications and making sure your form is correct to get the best results! The rest of the decor throughout the studio is super classy and cute too. I would recommend Isotiques to anyone interested in a Barre/Mat Pilates type class, new comer or veteran.“

“Gloria is an AMAZING Somatic Therapist. Although our session was via Zoom, her heart energy and compassion were palpable. Gloria was able to help me sort through some difficulties and feel more connected to my body! She also gave me some great techniques I can use to continue on my healing journey. What a gift she is to those of us that want to transform our inner world.“

“I really enjoy coming here, it’s always fun and challenging and the instructors are awesome - especially Olivia, Tyler, Alexa, Sophia and Mo!“

“I’m a 68-year-old who’s had my fair share of aches and pains from working at a desk and growing older. Pilates with Shabs has been nothing short of life-changing. She’s not just an instructor — she’s a true body mechanic. She understands the human body better than anyone I’ve ever met. Every session is a combination of stretching, strengthening, and healing.

I genuinely look forward to every single meeting with her. She’s funny, kind, sensitive, friendly, and incredibly honest. I’ve never felt this good in years, and I owe it all to her.

My wife and I once thought about leaving San Diego County, but now that we’ve found Shabs, there’s no way we could go — we’d never find anyone like her again. She’s an extraordinary teacher and an even more extraordinary person. If you’re lucky enough to get a spot with her (she’s very busy!), take it — you won’t regret it.“

“I love my workouts with Gotham Pilates and Laura. She tailors my workouts around pains and aches that I'm having at the time and teaches me the right exercises (and how to do them correctly) to support my joints, improve my posture, and alleviate the pain (I have had runner's knee, a soar shoulder from swimming, and lower back pain from sitting the wrong way and too much for work). I'm always impressed by her knowledge of biomechanics from her years as a dancer and instructor (I am a biomechanical engineer by trade). I highly recommend her and Gotham Pilates!“
