Pilates in San Diego

“I am really enjoying Barre and especially Barre 3 in North Park. All of the instructors have been motivating and friendly. I highly recommend trying Barre if you are looking for a new form of exercise.“

“I have been going regularly to the spa for a couple of months and my skin looks and feels amazing! I get compliments daily!! Dawn is incredible and Anna & Jenn, the owners, go out of their way to make you feel at home. Highly highly recommend!“

“I’ve been taking classes at Powerhouse Pilates for the past four years, and I can say with full confidence that it’s the best Pilates studio I’ve ever been to! Brigette and Jennifer have created such a strong sense of community, and every instructor brings a unique, challenging, and creative approach—so you never hit a plateau with any muscle group. I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else!“

“Very personable and friendly staff and doctor. Listened and created a plan to my personal needs.“

“I love this gym and the instructors! I have been to Victoria and Catherine's classes and they are both really amazing. They make me feel at home but also keep me accountable to pushing myself. I tend to slack off and get lazy at times so I really appreciate the accountability partnership. Thank you Saltwater Sweat Co!“

“Roshni is an amazing instructor—super friendly and incredibly skilled. She creates a fresh curriculum for every session, letting you try new exercises and strengthen different parts of your body each time. Her studio is adorable, with a beautiful view of the golf course and the sky.
Highly recommend!“

“This is one of the best private studios and instructors in town! Daniella is just incredible at what she does. One can tell she has studied Pilates, the human body, and movement extensively. She caters each session to your specific needs and requests. You will always walk out of the session feeling stronger and with improved posture. I highly recommend taking sessions with her.“

“This is a great place to do ballet. Alisha and Meghan really know their stuff. I'm very new to dancing and this was my first performance. They were very nice to me, answering every question I had. When I wasn't feeling well and had to leave class early, they didn't fuss. They are very understanding. -Teresa“

“Had such a great class! It was hard in a great way. Will definitely feel the burn tomorrow, can’t wait to go back. Such a big studio too, you don’t feel on top of each other. Cute merch to buy too!“

“I've taken private pilates lessons with Jessica for nearly a year while rehabbing from sciatica and back surgery. She is amazing. Extremely knowledgeable about pilates, she adjusts positions for my particular problems, finds ways to push me, celebrates my progress, and cares about me as a whole. She even got me to start swimming, which really aided my recovery. Finally, Jessica is very funny AND a really kind person. It's easy to develop trust and rapport with her, which I think is important for anyone learning and growing in pilates. And did I mention her rates are ridiculously low for private pilates?? Yes, you need to try her!“

“Point Pilates is by far one of the best places to get a killer workout in!! Amazing instructors that demonstrate, educate, and guide you to reach your personal goal within a judgement free space. And what a better distraction from a kick butt workout than the beautifully balanced studio space complimented with a gorgeous view looking over Point Loma.“

“Two classes with Andrew today and I’m glowing! ?✨ I sweated, I laughed, I had a blast. Andrew is hands down the best way to start or end your day ~ his positive energy is contagious and I always leave stronger, happier, and so proud of myself.

Looking back, I’m beyond grateful I started this journey months ago. Working out has finally become a habit that stuck, and it’s all thanks to Andrew. Somehow, he makes me want to show up, push myself, and become the best version of me.
If you’ve been on the fence, don’t wait ~ just take a class. Life’s too short not to feel this good. ?

“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.“

“First time I tried Pilates. Great instructor. Made it fun. Cannot wait to go back and do it again. Such an interesting combination of equipment and movement. My spine is fused in multiple places and I feel like this is something I will be able to do and enjoy, now and in the future.“

“I started pilates about 8 months ago and Club Pilates at North Park is my favorite location! There are a great variety of instructors to choose from and they all have their own unique way of tailoring each class to your individual level and body needs. The access to the parking garage is also a plus. Highly recommend!“

“Working with Eva completely solved years of low back pain. She tailored her sessions to my body's quirks, and continually evolved our sessions to adapt to new changes. I can recommend her emphatically with zero hesitation“

“I highly recommend the Radiance Yoga Center. I've had a private yoga session with the owner, which was fabulous and so helpful. She really focused on my strengths and weaknesses and how to get more flexible. I've also taken several classes, and each instructor is very well-informed and helpful. They managed to give one-on-one attention to each person in the class.“

“Secil is an outstanding instructor. Her knowledge of pilates and the body is top notch. Her training is tailored made for your specific needs. If you are looking for the best look no further. I can’t imagine going to anyone else“

“It is with pure joy to let the world know how fabulous Michele is on every way. There are not enough accolades in my vocabulary to sufficiently describe just how incredible of a person she is. Michele is very knowledgeable about the body and how our muscles affect our movements. She incorporates Pilates and yoga with her workouts and has great equipment and weights to add to the mix. It’s always a thorough workout. She is an encyclopedia of exercises and has the ability to zero-in on the best exercises for my fitness which many times reveals my many weak spots as well!! If I can’t do an exercise, Michele breaks it down or modifies it for me so I can still work that particular area. What I know and what I’ve witnessed is that Michele is committed to improving everyone’s physical fitness no matter what their fitness level or age is. She is very supportive and encouraging, and I am proof that what she teaches works like magic! I have never been in better physical shape. I am so grateful that I have Michele in my life.“

“The classes itself are wonderful but speaking for myself...I feel like it's hard to balance the pilates schedule with my own. Still trying to figure it out.“

“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!“

“Absolutely amazing place to learn Pilates. The instructors are extremely experienced, knowledgeable, attentive, and very welcoming towards new students. The space is peaceful and clean. Our posture and strength has visibly increased after just a couple months.We are so glad that we gave this place a try before giving up on Pilates thinking it's not something for us (based on our experience elsewhere).“

“Just started my Pilates journey, I was really nervous about it for no reason.I took a free 30 min class before signing up and Sahar won me over. By far my favorite instructor here. I'm only 3 classes in but really enjoying it. I went with the unlimited pass so I could take as many classes as I want a month. Since it's lighter strain I wanted to be able to do more.When you start you have to stick to level 1 or 1.5 when you get more acclimated. Since it's a small studio classes fill up fast. The app is really easy to use though. I book all my classes a week or two in advance. Since level 1 gets filled up and since I work it's hard to take the mid day classes. Even if you are new to Pilates the instructors are very friendly and accommodating to meet your fitness level. They will show you how to work the machines and the right positions. New lingo to learn but you'll catch on after a class or two.So far booking ahead has worked for me. Each instructor is different so you'll never experience the same class twice. We use a variety of different weights and tools along with the reformer to build our strength. I was sore after my first class! Just a heads up I do recommend taking the free crash course if you have never done Pilates before then sign up. You are locked in for the first 3 months and then you can cancel anytime after that. And there is fee for last minute cancellations.“

“This is my daughter's 7th season with Golden State Ballet and we have loved all of our time at Golden State! Raul and Cindy are wonderful and their doors are always open for any questions or concerns a parent may have. They have a dedicated staff and team for the students. We love the performances and seeing all that our daughter is learning. They truly care about each and every student and if they have concerns they are quick to address them with the parents. My daughter spends over 13 hours a week at the studio and I know she is in great hands while she is there. We love being a part of the Golden State family!“

“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.“
