Pilates near South San Francisco

“Now called Two Towers Fitness Center, it's a beautiful gym with great views, and public membership is available. Limited hours, with no weekend access.“

“It was a really nice , no pressure experience for me being my first time doing yoga. And I spent the rest of the day feeling more relaxed than I have ever been.“

“Jenise is a wonderful instructor! She brings so much positivity and empathy to each of her classes. You can expect a great workout and mindset shift after working with Jenise!“

“Had a great experience here! Instructors are super friendly and knowledgable. Highly recommend.“

“Justin's expertise and tailored approach to Pilates have been instrumental in alleviating my chronic knee pain. His deep understanding of biomechanics and rehabilitation techniques sets his practice apart, providing me with effective solutions that I haven't found elsewhere. I highly recommend Justin's Pilates practice to anyone seeking holistic and personalized care for their physical well-being.“

“This is a review for the Pilates studio which opened in January 2024. The teachers are the PTs from the attached physical therapy office, which really gave me confidence in starting to work out after recovery from a longstanding injury. And the teachers are all consistently excellent -- I believe I've taken classes with all but one and I have never had a class that I didn't come out of feeling amazing. The equipment is extensive -- reformers, chairs, spring board/wall, and all sorts of other devices at the ready -- and kept clean and in great shape. 8 reformers in the studio so classes stay small. It's perfect!!“

“Mike is super knowledgeable and has really unique and effective ways of diagnosing and treating injuries and chronic pain. He offers pilates, TRX, traditional weight training and more. Something for everyone. Check him out!“

“My experience at Sisters in Motion was excellent! I really appreciated Jennie's guidance and care throughout my orientation class. She is graceful, powerful, patient, and encouraging. I also loved all the language around expanding, taking up space, and touching our bodies as we moved. Their focus on female empowerment through movement and community is so vital.“

“Jill Harris is an amazing trainer, and her development of FitSprings takes exercise -- any kind of technique! -- to the next level and beyond. As someone who has studied ballet since childhood and practices yoga, working out on FitSprings lets me strengthen without being tight and heavy, and builds flexibility and my quick-twitch muscles while keeping my joints and muscles happy, healthy, and well-stimulated. (Never strained -- ever.) There isn't another workout that compares. I just attended Jill's teacher training this weekend, and the possibilities with this equipment are truly endless. I can't praise or recommend Jill Harris and FitSprings enough.“

“Raven Pilates is a gem! It is a beautifully appointed studio in a quaint section of Polk street. The studio occupies a large space with high ceilings and every single corner has been so thoughtfully designed. The equipment is state of the art and best of all Patti teaches there and you will not find a better teacher anywhere else! My body transforms any time I study with her!“

“Suzanne's class was so fun. She is an original old school, fun Pilates teacher. It was a great workout on the reformer with good hands-on adjustments . I will definitely come back!“

“I have been taking personal training and small group classes at Powerplaysf since July 2023 and I have had such a great experience. Shout out to Kwanua, Daniel, Fabi, Jen, and Pudji in particular! What is amazing to me is that they offer exceptional individualized and personalized service while at the same time offering a wide variety of classes and approaches to personal training so you can experiment and switch things up. For example, I have done one on one boxing, Pilates, and weight training and small group strength and conditioning, Trx, yoga, boxing, and Pilates classes. All of the personal training and small group classes have been excellent. I've also had to travel quite a bit for work and they have been very flexible letting me make up sessions and classes or even doing personal training remotely. A few highlights: I have been taking a one on one boxing class with Fabi for several months. She is an excellent instructor/trainer. As a former overweight, uncoordinated kid, who tended to shy away from any kind of exercise that seemed "too complicated" I'm amazed by my progress! I have also been taking a Trx small group class from Daniel for several months. He is also an excellent instructor. I was definitely a little intimidated by the class description and the word "athlete," but Daniel has done such a great job encouraging me to perform my best. It feels great at 36 to really do something out of my comfort zone. I would highly recommend powerplay!“

“The Pad is a great studio! I like it because it is close to my house, parking is relatively easy and they offer many different classes everyday. I feel like post-covid, many yoga studios only offer a couple of classes a day and I appreciate having more options. It is a very calm and relaxing environment and folks of all levels are welcomed and challenged. The teachers range from very good to really freakin' awesome - there are a couple who clearly know their stuff and have a lot of experience to share.“

“Working with Teacher Hye Yeon is like a breath of fresh air. She is calm yet extremely passionate about serving and helping those she can. She uses her knowledge and experience with pilates to do so.I wasn't sure what to expect when I had my first class (Sept 2023) but I left with such valuable information about focusing on elongating my breath work and adjusting my posture.Not only is she knowledgable and quick to notice small, important details about the body, I personally love having teachers who genuinely enjoy what they do and are happy to share their enthusiasm with others. Even just 10-mins with Teacher Hye Yeon will brighten your day. Her kindness, work ethic, and passion makes her a hidden gem. Anyone would be lucky to call Hye Yeon their teacher and friend!“

“I love EHS. I'm not usually a "sporty" person and don't consider myself to be very flexible or athletic, but I've enjoyed all the classes I've taken at EHS. There is a fun, low-key vibe and the classes tend to be small so you get individual attention. I recommend their sequences of classes for beginners so you can sample different contraptions, and I especially recommend classes with Corie and Olivia.“

“Excellent. The whole team is informed, caring, and responsive to your body's needs. This was my first experience with Pilates as recommended by a PT, and I was a bit intimidated. They fully embraced me and helped me resolve seven years of chronic pain- and they're just great people. And there's a studio cat!“

“Bright studio, friendly ommunity atmosphere. Skilled trainers will customize specifically for your needs. Lots of laughter“

“killer class! going to get a membership soon be sure i really enjoyed it! facility is amazing and the instructors are great“

“This is my favorite yoga studio. I have been going here since before Covid-19, and the studio still has maintained the same relaxing and healing atmosphere. Fatima and Jen are my go-to instructors, but any class you take will give you the workout you didn't know you needed. Love it here and will always keep coming back for more yoga sessions!“

“Took a transformational class with Eric today. Great blend of movement, mantras, and music. I left feeling relaxed -mind and body :)“

“Sonya is an ace. I'd recommend working with her to anyone who is lucky enough to have the chance.I've been Sonya's student since 2019 and treat my time with Sonya as a self-care gift I give myself. I not only learn to move better physically but also become more appreciative and increasingly aware of how my body moves.I find Sonya to be an incredibly knowledgeable teacher who can break down parts of a movement to micro details that help you see simple exercises in new, eye-opening ways. For example, Sonya's instructions on how to do a simple bridge exercise are so detailed and systematic that I can now be attentive to the groups of muscles I engage in each step of doing a bridge including how and when to breathe. So when I do it on my own, I know I can do a bridge correctly and mindfully. This example may sound very simple, but the value to me is that even the basic and possibly mundane exercises become mindful movements that I understand and enjoy. And with that, I am more likely to keep exercising.As Sonya’s student I have never felt pushed to do things I may not want to or be ready for. She checks in with me every time and thoughtfully designs the session to work with me where I am that day. At the same time, she can be very tough in teaching me how to do the exercises correctly. She will relentlessly explain in different ways to make sure I get it. It’s easy to see she is passionate about what she teaches and cares a great deal about her students’ learning.Sonya’s a great teacher and it is my privilege to learn from her.“

“Shirley has been amazing. She has helped me strengthen my core and work on proper body positioning. Each time i leave feeling accomplished and can't wait for our next appointment. I feel better during and after a long day of work thanks to her. As much as I'd like to keep her a secret she is amazing at what she does and the knowledge she gives.“

“For the past 18 months, my husband and I have scheduled private sessions with Raisa and Rachel every week. My spouse had MS and wanted to focus on balance concerns, whereas I had just turned 50 and had the upperbody strength of a newborn kitten. It's a really nonjudgmental environment with clients of different shapes and ages. I was hesitant at first to do pilates because I hadn't worked out in a decade, so performing a plank was impossible. Raisa and Rachel seemed to intuitively recognize our skills and motivated us with realistic movements. This was our first experience scheduling private sessions of any kind, but it has proven to be ideal for us because Raisa and Rachel personalize each session to whatever discomfort or pain we are experiencing that week. We are also the only ones in the studio during our session, making it genuinely private. If you have a stiff shoulder in the middle of a session, they have the depth and breadth of understanding to identify the muscle in question and immediately shift you to an optimum exercise. Hubs and I were both in physical therapy for different reasons, and Raisa and Rachel had no trouble adapting and changing movements as needed. I had no idea how much core strength I had gained until I started crossfit a year after starting PIlates and was able to execute (and excel) at every core exercise with my CF trainer.“

“Virginia is a wonderful Pilates instructor. She is attentive to her client's individual needs and has a vast amount of knowledge to share. I am so grateful to her for continuing to power through on Zoom and create a mat class that is accessible for everyone!“

“Unfortunately it appears this business has closed. There are no longer any machines or anything for that matter in the space as of my last walk by 7/25/16.“
