Whether you're recovering from an injury, looking to cross-train, or just want to incorporate some movement into your daily life, Urban Body is the perfect place! The instructors are so knowledgeable, they really listen to you and tailor your session according to your needs. It's also the most gorgeous studio I've been in, with the calming decor and natural light. Amazing vibes. 10/10 would recommend!

Highly recommend to both those new to GYROTONIC®/GYROKINESIS® and experienced trainers alike. Urban Body San Jose is a truly special place. It has a warm, welcoming, and peaceful atmosphere that I felt the moment I walked in!
I had such a wonderful experience there. Everyone I met, including Shannon, Yoevita, Rebecca, and Sarah, was kind, supportive, and generous. They are building a community that feels safe and uplifting.
The trainers are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive, making it a wonderful space to both learn and grow.

Urban Body is a truly special place. I just happened to find this studio because I was looking to take the Leg Extension Unit course specifically from Nora Heiber. I traveled from Kentucky to take this course at the studio and I was beyond impressed. Nora was wonderful and exceptional.
Walking into the studio feels like a breath of fresh air. The studio is beautiful, clean, energetically warm, and a serene environment. In the short time I was there, I got to connect with Shannon and some of the instructors there. They are really wonderful and exceptional people.
Looking at the upcoming Gyrotonic teacher training roster, there are so many incredible teachers and offerings they are bringing in. As a trainer, having high quality continuing education is really important to me and this studio cultivates that. That kind of care of commitment the team has to the work shows up in the way they care for their clients.
Whether you're a new client that has never heard of Gyrotonic before or a Gyrotonic/Gyrokinesis trainer, this place is special and I highly recommend it.

This is hands down the best Gyrotonic and Pilates studio in the area! 😍 I’m obsessed with the vibe and aesthetic — the energy here is amazing. Heads up: the new entrance can be a little tricky to find. Just walk around the food truck (follow the arrow in the photo) to get in!

Urban Body is such a Downtown SJ gem. I've been going to UB for nearly a year, and I've been practicing with the incredible Young Kim. Young is knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about staying true to the Pilates method. I've been consistently going to Young in the past year for my own practice and understanding of the method, and it has grown tremendously through her instruction as I am also working towards completing the rigorous Pilates certification.
I haven't tried Gyro yet, but I have heard great things. UB is equipped with mostly Gyro & Classical Pilates Equipment (e.g. Pilates Design, Gratz, etc.)
To add, Maria and Shannon, are such thoughtful and kind people and their studio is very well maintained with such calming, thoughtful elements.
Give UB a try if you are curious about Gyro or Pilates!

Urban Body is such a special place! The teachers are dedicated to their craft and make you feel incredibly cared for. The space is restful and inspiring—truly a movement sanctuary. Cross-training in Gyrotonic and Pilates here has become an essential part of my week as a competitive ballroom dancer!

Shannon is such a pure spirit. She’s very detail oriented and you’ll be able to understand your body more after one session. Highly recommend

I've been taking gyrotonic sessions with Julia Dunlop since February and I love it.
Julia is a capable and concise instructor who knows how to help me find extension and flexion exactly where I need it. I say this as a Pilates instructor who really appreciates being under the care and guidance e of another instructor and turning my movement brain off and tapping into the movement.
I'm so glad to have met her and she's already a fabulous instructor but I know she's going to go on to make a difference for people in how their bodies move and feel.
