Pilates near Lake Forest

“I love this place! I've been going 3 times a week since for a couple months now. Lindsey and Kimberly are the instructors I see the most, both are great. I had the pleasure of having Harmony as an instructor last week - she was excellent! She was super motivating, energetic, thorough, and I left there exhausted. The time always goes by fast at Trim Fitness and I wake up the next morning sore in spots I've never been sore. I've definitely noticed an improvement in my shape and posture. The instructors have the best playlists too!“

“Denise does an amazing job. She is thoughtful, smart and has helped me transform my body. I have lost over 40+ pounds and am in best shape of my life.“

“Highly recommend Studio Pilates Fokus!
This studio has been a game changer for me. The space is always clean and welcoming, and the instructors are professional, supportive, and really care about your progress. They help you improve your form and get stronger safely. I've seen real improvements in my posture and overall strength since starting here.
If you're looking for quality Pilates with personal attention, this is the place to go!“

“Really love coming to see Victoria. She really knows how to give you the perfect workout! My arms looked great for the wedding and a couple times I injured myself during COVID doing gardening and other things so my neck and back and both times could barely move… she gave me stretches and exercises when I literally thought I couldn’t move!!! She’s a body guru!“

“Christy M is absolutely incredible. I’m so grateful to her for her encouragement and support during my sessions with her. She’s an amazing instructor — she has really found the perfect balance between pushing you to do more and also helping you to understand your limits. I never thought I’d enjoy Pilates but she made the classes fun and engaging, and when this is back in budget for me, I’m looking forward to going back!“

“I have been taking Pilates with Jancy for 6 months and it has been a superior wellness and fitness experience for me. Jancy is extremely knowledgeable about the muscles in the body and she paces the workout with focused precision. It is my first time learning the Pilates method and I am getting stronger with each session. Jancy is a positive coach and I look forward to our sessions.“

“I have practiced Pilates at other studios, but Katie is an exceptional instructor who caters to each individual’s needs. She has worked with me over the past two months, and after a bad car accident, I feel so much better—stronger and sexier ?“

“Dr Park is a miracle worker! Just finished my second laser treatment with him for TBI. Both times I walked out with a clear, focused mind. The first treatment gave me energy, clarity of mind, and improved responses to stress. Will be continuing to see him. Can't recommend highly enough.Also- he is kind and accommodating with clients. He always finds a time slot for me to come in that works with my schedule.“

“Was visiting Laguna staying at the hotel next door and dropped in for a class. Kristie is such a great instructor and was so encouraging! Class was the best kind of difficult! The studio is nice and clean and classes are small so it’s like getting individual attention for the price of a group class. Whether you’re a local or a visitor this is a great Pilates spot!“

“Julie Sarton physical therapy on her team has saved my life more than once. I had severe tailbone pain and problems after playing professional volleyball for many years, which had one of cause one of the muscles to spasm over nerves that went through the pelvic floor. Causing severe pain when I was about 30. I could not sit down, only stand and lay down before I discovered them. It was absolutely horrible but thanks to Julie and her caring and knowledgeable team, I was able to get well and was able to fully recover. As with all physical therapy, you have to go consistently do all of the exercises and trust that it’s going to get better. It takes time And you absolutely have to remain positive. I have seen them heal so many people it’s amazing. They gave me my quality of life back, and I was even able to carry and go through two pregnancies after their help to have my two boys… for that I am ever grateful. I highly, highly recommend Sarton physical therapy as the best pelvic floor physical therapy in Orange County.“

“Beautiful space. Kind and attentive instructors. Challenging practice. Will be back “

“Kamala Rose is the best! She knows Pilates and classes are always fresh and exciting. Her individual attention to all her clients is amazing! No more than 4 clients per class

If you are thinking about Pilates take an intro one on one package (3 sessions) first . If you are experienced, join a class and see for yourself!

You will not be disappointed and more than likely you will want to sign up for a package right away!“

“I’ve been coming to CirKel since 2023, and I’m glad to say I’ve found my little community. The instructors I’ve taken are helpful and friendly, and the regulars have become my little Pilates family. I would recommend a person try it at least once.“

“First off, I’m a newbie to Pilates so I booked private sessions to try it out. The sessions have been excellent and exceed my expectations. My instructor Ela is very thorough, patient, and kind. The studio is clean and has a very welcoming, cozy feel. The workout is fantastic, you can work out your whole body on the reformer, and it just feels so good. I am excited to sign up for weekly classes after my private sessions are up.“

“I love it! The instructors are excellent, the facility is immaculate and they strictly adhere to safety protocols! Really great.“

“Dr Shouka is simply gifted with his hands. Having been in multiple hit/runs, I'm constantly complaining about pain on my back, neck, legs, feet - pretty much my entire body. Sad to say. Two weeks ago, I had an episode with my side leg and plantar. I was in so much pain, I woke up crying because I had a difficult time walking. During my first visit, Dr Shouka spent appx 45 min with me. Once he identified my issues, he was able to remedy the pain. I was able to walk without any pain after the first session. I have other issues in the neck and back so I'll continue. Keep an open mind as Dr Shouka is a spiritual practitioner. I'm spiritual and intuitive so I do gravitate to Dr Shouka's thoughts. However, someone else that is more matter a fact may not, but don't let that deter you if you're in pain. Being in pain sucks. You will feel better after seeing Dr Shouka.“

“Wow! This was my first reformer Pilates class and our instructor nicole hinds came by during the class and helped me out individually by giving me advice on how to make it a little nicer and helping my form when I was confused. It was so so hard but so rewarding and she was so good at instructing and I genuinely felt every part of my body engaged. 10/10 would reccomend!“

“Want a great workout with friendly helpful people? You gotta try Club Pilates Rancho Santa Margarita. The instructors are knowledgeable and able to help you get the best workout for your needs. Front staff is also extremely helpful.“

“I have been seeing Katia for recovery a hip replacement and am extremely happy with the progress. I am very active running, hiking and climbing, skiing, etc and am eager to get back to that.

Katia has a great understanding of anatomy and the mechanics of movement, explaining how things work and the logic behind the PT program for me. The program has been great; I am making very good progress. Katia brings a great deal of energy and confidence. I know I am in very good hands and, under Katia’s care, will get back to the level of activity I had prior to my surgery“

“I have been a member for about 2 years. I love coming to a small gym where my workouts are supervised by a knowledgeable staff that won’t let me drag my feet when I’m not fully motivated. I especially like the routines that change everyday 8 weeks. It keeps it challenging and I don’t get bored. I feel like I am stronger and more flexible than I was 2 years ago and at 71 that is a good way to feel. Thanks FCF staff!“

“Your search is over! You have found the answer to your prayers! Sarton PT is the BEST. Julie and her amazing staff, have,and continue to change lives. I have had chronic back and sciatica pain for years. They helped me when doctors, acupuncture, and other PT’s failed to. Trust me it will change your life. Do this for yourself you deserve the best. Thank you Sarton PT for all that you do. I will be forever grateful.“

“Bona tailored my first class for a seamless, enjoyable experience. Very clear instructions.
But not only that, I learned the proper form and spinal accommodations I needed due to bone limitations— things my PT studio missed entirely. Very fun time for everyone. Nice people.“

“For years, my husband and I have using Dr. Fisher for adjustments and massage. We cannot recommend them any higher!!! When we r in pain, “call Dr Fisher” are the first words out of our mouthes!!! He has also helped both of our sons through their High School years with both club and HS team volleyball seasons! (Ie: allll year volleyball) The office staff are soo happy and personable too!“

“Great Team and Real Progress!
My left elbow and forearm are getting better every time I go to physical therapy.
I have Parita, Patrick, Shane, and the whole team to thank for that! Thank you so much!
Even though it’s not fully healed yet, I can feel real improvement after each session. They’re professional, supportive, and clearly care about helping me recover.
I’m really grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone needing physical therapy!“

“This is my third pregnancy and based on my previous deliveries, my hope is to have a smoother and more positive third trimester/delivery/postpartum experience by starting pelvic floor PT early! I’m so thankful to have found Dr. Sara Vanstraten and be under her care!! She truly has a passion for this speciality, with years of experience guiding her recommendations. What I love is she continues to seek out new research and stay current on interventions specific to her practice. Also, she truly takes the time to listen to you and make your concerns feel heard— while simultaneously using it all to guide her treatment plan specific to your needs. I am so grateful to have Dr. Sara on my team this time around!!“
