Pilates near Lake Forest

“Coach Molly is a badass!! Her Climbing class is 🥵🔥. You want to work your core! Definitely recommend it!!“

“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.“

“Everyone was very kind and helpful and made what could have been unpleasant very pleasant.“

“I am very grateful to have had Dr. Nicole Escoto as a therapist. She is an active listener, has positive energy and is extremely encouraging/supportive. Listen and do exercises she prescribes and it can be life changing. I’m nearly a year removed from my last visit and doing great!“

“My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Fisher for over 10 years, and we are incredibly grateful for the care, kindness, and friendship we’ve experienced throughout the years.

From the moment you walk into the office, you’re welcomed like family. Dr. Fisher and his team have always taken a genuine interest in our lives, whether it was asking about our travels or simply taking the time to check in and see how we were doing. It’s that personal touch that made every visit feel special.

Dr. Fisher has cared for both of us through different health challenges over the years. He was especially supportive when I suffered a head injury, taking the time to ensure I received the care and attention I needed. He has also helped my husband tremendously with his ongoing back issues, always listening, understanding his needs, and providing thoughtful care that made a real difference.

What stands out most is not only Dr. Fisher’s knowledge and skill, but the genuine compassion he and his team show their patients. We never felt like just another appointment—we always felt valued, cared for, and treated like family.

Although we have recently transitioned to a chiropractor closer to home, we will always be thankful for the exceptional care we’ve received over the past decade. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who truly cares about his patients and their well-being, I highly recommend Dr. Fisher and his wonderful team.

Thank you, Dr. Fisher, for more than 10 years of outstanding care, friendship, and kindness. We will always remember and appreciate everything you’ve done for us.“

“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.“

“I'm in the maintenance stage of my treatment. I haven't had any problems with my back for over a year now. I am thankful to Dr. Lababidi because my back had been causing me bouts of intense pain for months. I found out that chiropractors not only treat the spine, but other joints as well. He started laser treatment on my shoulder because I had hurt it when I was lifting weights. Now it feels much better as well.“

“I am so grateful for Sarton Physical Therapy! I have had low back pain for many years which has made it difficult to sit, stand, or walk without pain. I have never given up, and after many doctors, tests, injections, regular physical therapy, and acupuncture, I came to Sarton Physical Therapy. What a wonderful change this decision has made!
I was nervous about trying pelvic P.T., and looked at the Sarton website numerous times before I even called for an appointment. Rachel and Jade, who answer the phones, take so much time making patients comfortable and explaining how this lovely office takes care of all of us.
I have had multiple factors that play into my pain journey, which we have slowly unraveled. I have been given the most wonderful care. Besides treatment, I now have a home exercise routine designed specifically for my body, which is helping strengthen the proper muscle groups, as well as home treatments I can use to keep my pain from escalating.
I no longer feel like I am dealing with this on my own. I have a small community that I feel safe with. I am beginning a whole new chapter that didn't seem possible five years ago. Thanks to Sarton Physical Therapy, I am healing. And I have hope.“

“I have been going to FCF for over 6 years. It is the only gym I have stuck with. The small classes are great, they accommodate exercises to avoid injury and have something for everyone based on ability. I have recently had shoulder surgery and am back after 2 weeks because of their ability to accommodate me. It has become a pseudo-family for those of us who go.“

“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“

“Beautiful studio surrounded by trees with such a calming atmosphere. The owner Kim was incredibly kind and helpful, explaining everything in detail from pricing to parking and how the classes work, which made the whole experience feel so comfortable. Everyone there was welcoming, and I wish I lived closer so I could come more often. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“CirKel Fitness is truly an amazing Pilates studio. I have been going here for over a year now and have a monthly membership, and it never gets repetitive. From the moment I first walked in, I felt genuinely welcomed and supported by the entire team.

What really sets them apart is how thoughtful and accommodating they were during my recovery from brain surgery. They went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable, safe, and able to participate at my own pace.

Their instructors are not only knowledgeable, but incredibly compassionate. They took the time to understand my situation and made adjustments so I could continue showing up for myself during a challenging time. That level of care made such a difference in my recovery journey.

I’m so grateful to have found CirKel Fitness. They have created a space that feels both empowering and supportive, no matter where you are in your fitness or healing process.“

“Such a great, intimate Pilates studio! Kristie, the owner is an amazing instructor. She ran a very rigorous class with great personalized modifications and form corrections. The class I did was with very fit locals. Unlike other CA surf towns, however, everyone was super sweet and welcoming. This small studio is a gem. Highly recommend it if you can get a spot!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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 ?“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“
