Pilates near Rancho Santa Fe

“I’m so glad I found this studio! With just six reformers at this location, each class feels personal, and everyone receives the attention they need. The instructors are truly exceptional—each one challenges you in a safe and effective way, while creating an environment that’s both encouraging and compassionate.

I’ve loved taking classes with Hope, Tara, Arlene, Camille, Ania, and Delaina. Each instructor brings their own unique style to class, but all share the same commitment to proper form and alignment. They’re attentive and genuinely caring—if you’re dealing with any discomfort or injury, they always check in and offer thoughtful modifications to support you.“

“FWRD doesn't just offer amazing workouts, including interval/cardio classes, heated classes, barre, barre with a little cardio and barre with meditation, it is also offers an incredible community. This group is so inclusive, uplifting and supportive. So grateful to find Stephanie and her barre studio almost 5 years ago.“

“I wanted to say thank you to Natalie! Got so lucky with trying her out! She has a wonderful personality and is very knowledgeable. I went to see her for "pilates" as I have worked with other studios. She immediately got me sized up and we have taken some great training she has and put it to amazing use for my "body." She has some great techniques for pain, training and strength. I have been so fortunate to find her! She is a boutique studio with many ideas to fix many issues! More than just pilates!!!!!! Thank you, Natalie for "caring" about my body and helping me to have some great new ideas for all the above! I can't wait for my next sessions!!!!!!“

“Mariyah and Babette are my favorite teachers.Mariyah comes around to each of us at the beginning of class to greet us by name. She shares a little about her own life which is nice and makes us all feel like friends.Babette has a lot of helpful information because she is learning about physical therapy in school. She can offer modifications for my physical limitations.“

“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!!“

“Mollie at MUV is the best!! I can't recommend her highly enough. Not only did she help alleviate my chronic neck pain and improve my strength, but she also provided top-notch customer service, easy scheduling and helpful appointment reminders. The environment is comfortable, clean and relaxing, making each session a breeze. If you're seeking relief and a positive experience, MUV PT is the place to go!“

“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“

“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.“

“Tried my first class yesterday and Erin was great! I haven't done a lot of pilates in my life but a few friends told me this class has them stronger than they have ever been. I woke up sore in the right places today and I can't wait to go back tomorrow to see her again. If you are wanting to get stronger in your core and legs....really all over, I think this is a great place to go. Thanks Bodywork.“

“Amazing classes and the owner also puts the best events and collab deals with other business too! Last one was this week at the Inn in Rancho Santa Fe and was just wonderful under the sun with so much energy and ladies super motivated to get healthier and always striving for better shape. The best swag bags out there are also from the Salt Vault!“

“I am 67 and wanted to work on my balance, strength and overall fitness. I have been working with Pilates in Aviara for 2 years and I am very happy with my results. She works with you at your level and encourages you to do more.“

“I got into an accident a few months ago and was recommended to come here for physical therapy by my doctor. It seems like they are pretty well known here since I see patients from all sorts of injuries. They have athletes that come here who hurt them self as well as patients that need physical therapy from accidents. When I first got here they started off with a consultation to see where my pain was and the severity of it. The doctors were very knowledgeable and pinpointed what was wrong with me. He said that the cause of my back aches were from these two lower points on my back that was close to my hips. He passed upon it and showed that there was pain there which I didn't knew was there. He said that it would alleviate the pain with some physical therapy and some cortisone shots. After 3 months of physical therapy and the shots I was pretty much cured. They instructed me to do some exercises once their treatment was done and it really helped. Don't hesitate to come here because they know what they are doing. I wanna thank one the girls that worked on my, she was doing the accupressure part and really did wonders. I think that's the part that help me the most.“

“Still a wonderfully nurturing dance studio with immensely patient and dedicated teachers and staff. It's been 9 years, and the studio has grown in space and homegrown talent, which is evident in the ambitious goals the studio successfully executes each year. This is a ballet-based studio with a growing musical theater program, and fun recreational/non-competitive class offerings in ballet, jazz, contemporary, modern, hip hop and even pilates reformer. The ballet side includes a pre-pro program that is intended to nurture students with professional dance aspirations or just want to be in "club level" ballet (i.e. your young 9 year old kid will be there 2-3 times a week and your 12/13+ tween will be there 4/5 times a week multiple hours a day. Dancers participating in shows will have Saturday rehearsals). The AD has an annual assessment (for pre-pro students) to assess goals and steps needed to achieve them. Recently, many of these students have been invited to well known ballet SIs, including PNB, PBT, SAB, and ABT. The AD further supports their school/ballet balance and many of the pre-pro dancers have been waived out of PE through OCIS (Off Campus Independent Study). Annually, the staff presents "the Nutcracker" where all roles (except 1-2 adult male roles, which are professionally filled) are casted by their classically trained students. Over the last 3 years, they've also presented a shorter storybook ballet of similar caliber. Every year we've been here, there has been an end of year recital series, which is the main opportunity for the non-ballet students to present what they've learned in choreographed pieces. The studio has grown to include a musical theater program, which also provides opportunities to shine in "Mini Musicals". Yes, the hallways can be a little "extra", but that's what happens when students love the place so much that they are there for multiple classes in the afternoons, and on rehearsal weekends. And yes, dance can be pricey, but my experience is that the rec level classes are comparable to any other rec level activity my other kid has done with *professional* teachers, it's obviously more expensive than little league or soccer which are volunteer coached. Further, pricing is on a tiered structure, where "the more classes you take, the cheaper your 5th, 6th, 7th, etc class is." And yes - sounds nuts, but many of the pre-pro kids love it there enough that they're there for that many classes. Lastly, I didn't realize how grateful I am for this until my daughter got older, but the owners refuse to allow revealing costumes and uniforms. You'll find the students in leotards/tights, athleisure wear, and tasteful recital costumes - not a booty short or bra/crop top in sight, as I wish dance culture would be. Overall, a great place to be for those with professional ballet aspirations (and who want to be challenged appropriately), or who want to learn other styles for enjoyment without the expectation to compete.“

“Great variety of classes that are excellent workouts. Instructors are fabulous with tremendous amount of knowledge, energy and who keep you motivated.“

“My husband has experienced severe hip pain for the past year and has tried several PT practices. We finally discovered your practice and he is beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. His pain has lessened significantly and is finally getting back to being himself. Your knowledgeable and caring PTs have turned his life around. Thank you Comprehensive Therapy Services!“

“I've been a member for over a year now, and absolutely LOVE this boutique Pilates studio. Cameron very carefully selects teachers who are specifically trained. I adore and trust every one of them! I'll never go anywhere else!“

“I have been doing Pilates for over a month and so far, I have been to 3 of the Club Pilates locations. I have to give praise to this location in 4S Ranch!! There is something about it that I just love!! Sophie and Ella are always so sweet and greet me with a big smile! And Dippy's Class is fabulous!! She is on point and takes time to assist the members when needed.“

“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.“
