I believe that ABC Fit Studio is the best kept secret in Laguna Niguel, if you want a great Pilates Studio. It has only 6 reformers, so each class feels like a private studio lesson. All of the instructors are excellent, and the studio has a friendly and fun atmosphere. There is also a workout room for extra classes like yoga, zumba and TRX which are also amazing with experienced instructors. I feel so lucky to have found such an amazing gem of a gym! I have been going for over 3 years and I can't imagine going anywhere else! read more

The new owner (late 2025) has done a great job improving all aspects of the studio. So glad to have back the great instructors and clientele. read more

I love this place. The warm friendly atmosphere and small classes combined with highly-trained; caring instructors mean focused and individualized attention. I started going to ABC for neuropathy pain but soon realized my posture, balance, strength, and confidence improved. It is amazing! Thank you, ABC Fit Studio, for changing my life. read more

The new owner, Sahar, who also happens to be my favorite instructor, has done an amazing job of freshening up the studio and given new life to the overall atmosphere. I have been going to ABC for many years and been through a lot of changes. The atmosphere has improved overnight with the new ownership, it is so clean, welcoming , calm, friendly and professional! I've noticed more balance and less tension in my body overall. I really appreciate the variety of classes and times and new exercises. Everyone is upbeat, never a moment to get bored, no repetitive classes, always new and challenging. I feel seen and engaged. If you're thinking of joining, do it now, couldn't ask for better timing! read more

ABC Fit Studio has poor new ownership since the end of 2023. The new owner has poor communication and she comes off rude. Many instructors and members have left. The good news is there are now other Pilates Studios everywhere. read more

The best team out there! No other fitness studio like it in South Orange County! They offer a large variety of classes, and there is something for everyone. read more

I am new to ABC. This place rocks! From the moment you walk in the door. Mary at the front desk greets you I could not pick just one instructor to complement. They ALL have so much to offer! knowledgeable, assisting you, never rushed. Many extra touches, from fresh flowers to clean towels, chilled water. LOVE it here I am grateful for ABC PILATES and the staff read more

I have been coming to ABC Fit Studio for the past 7 months and I have only wonderful things to say. All the instructions are knowledgeable and provide that personalized experience. I love the variety in every class and have noticed my body and muscles toning. Everyone is very respectful, friendly and supportive. I definitely recommend this studio for anyone looking for that individual experience while getting a great workout experience. Definitely recommend!!! read more

Wonderful experience with caring (attentive to any injuries) instructors--to get fit or enhance your fitness. I can highly recommend classes with SOHAR and ALICIA-- serious workouts with lots of fun!! And the Zumba classes are par excellence! Zumba has been important to me for years and these instructors are great teachers and the dancing is exciting: LINDA, ALICIA, and JULIANNE. I'm so happy I found this small studio with lovely instructors and clientele! read more

I've been coming to ABC Fit Studio for about 6 months and love the classes here. The instructors are very knowledgeable and encouraging. Classes are offered at a variety of times too to fit your schedule. Besides the reformer classes I enjoy the barre classes. I highly recommend this place! read more

Wow I just joined ABC Fit Studio and absolutely love it! The reformer classes are awesome (Mary McGettigan is an amazing instructor)! The classes are challenging and with the small class size you get lots of personalized attention. I have also taken the barre class with Elizabeth (LOVE), strength, zumba, yoga....it's all included. Love the variety! They have everything sanitized for COVID-19 and adhere to all safety precautions so it is a safe place to work-out. Come try it out. You will love it!!!! read more

The classes are hit and miss with wearing masks and social distancing . The manager Juliane says they are trying to keep the buisness from going under ,but masks are not being enforced anymore with sign at the door says to wear it is only a side show . Some clients wearing the mask under their nose . Best teachers are Charlotte , Meaghan and Jodi . I wish all the teachers enforced masks when I'm close proximity in fitness room or less than 6 ft apart ,as a lot of us are auto immune or seniors . I guess the money of the non mask wearers trump us sick babies seeking safety first . So few times drove to class after scheduling more than a week in advance to reserve my spot and walk in on classes with only the teacher and i wearing a mask or on my last class with yoga with Ms Wisdom that NO one had a mask on, but me . She had to make a comment about it also at the end saying we should breathe in peace and love which was great until she started going on about letting out the terror and fear about masks and be loving people of acceptance etc when I was the ONLY PERSON WEARING A MASK. Seems to me that this Buisness is simply for republicans and as I'm Canadian I'm not either party here and would like to be treated like a decent human being . I would like to let people know I'm A healer and as such I am a loving individual and I don't appreciate assumptions about who I am because I wear a mask . Also I have 5 state of California Dental Licenses for 26 years and my mother was a dentist . We know very well about infection control and blood borne pathogens . Now about being a loving person maybe they should be loving by marking on their "Mind Body" app schedule what classes are "must wear mask" or no mask class ,so we don't drive there and waste our time for nothing as that is not loving to us . It's also not loving to judge someone else when it's mandatory to social distance and wear mask in indoor groups of classes even in physical Therapy from the health department. Loving is that I wear a mask to protect you from my breathe and spit mist ladies . So what is the person that refuses to have protective gear during a pandemic ? Maybe just maybe it's selfish and maybe just maybe Ms. wisdom it's EGO ! Love thy neighbor as thy self ! read more

I was referred here by Rausch Physical Therapy to build core muscles to hopefully improve a degenerated and herniated lower lumbar disc. I have been attending their pilates classes 3 times per week and Booty Blast once per week for the last 10+ months. I signed up for an unlimited membership which is most cost effective and allows me the flexibility to book multiple times per week. Juliann, the manager, is very welcoming and gave me hope that the classes would help my back issue. I take the Restorative classes for people with injuries and they are just my speed. The teachers are so attentive to your physical issues/limitations and will make adjustments to suit you. I cant say enough good things about the teachers here. Alicia, Megan, Dana and Charlotte all have very different teaching styles but are all amazing! An extra shout out to Dana who has been my favorite pilates teacher. She has a calm, friendly demeanor and is always looking out for my physical issues to ensure I don't injure myself. Alicia's booty blast class is fun, fast paced and gives me an amazing glute workout (in just 30 minutes) without putting stress on my back. If you are suffering from an injury but want to remain physically active, these ladies will help you to achieve that. read more

The Excellence and the Joy is in the details! ABC Offers a great variety of classes, with excellent instructors from early morning till evening. The skillful, caring and FUN instructors have the expertise to give detailed instructions, modifications and alignment cues and corrections. You can get "the burn" anywhere, but at ABC you will be instructed in proper alignment. This training can increase your flexibility, agility, mobility, balance, and may also decrease chronic pain from poor postural and exercise habits and even old injuries. Manager Julianne is extraordinary and always welcomes feedback with an open heart and open mind. I highly recommend ABC fitness for all exercise levels beginning to advanced. Sherri Anderson RN read more

I love this Pilates Studio. It's not only Pilates. Many other amazing classes. It is very clean, we sanitize after each class, everyone wears masks the whole time and we are all 6ft apart so I feel completely safe. Julianne and Mary are great instructors. I haven't tried the others as much but they are all very good at what they do. read more

Taking Valli Gideons' strength & Flexibity classes are the perfect way to fine tune muscles & add cardio to balance my quest to stay strong. She is motivating & has eyes behind her head because she can lead the class & make students adjust so they use right form & avoid injury. She takes the time to know each students limitations & will modify the exercise so that we can still achieve results. The class is perfect challenge & different than reformer classes but perfect way to use different muscles. I look forward to gaining balance & strength -never bored. Sign up now. read more

Very personable and engaging staff. Not a place "to be seen". I feel at home here. Excellent instructors.

Great pilates instructors, very clean and safe environment

I walked into this studio 28 weeks pregnant with a spinal fusion, shoulder injury, sprained ankle, and sciatic pain that had me on and off crutches. I was put on 'restricted activity' my entire first trimester so on top of the structural challenges, I was really out of shape. I tried the fitness classes at the local YMCA but the class-size is huge and with my injuries and rapidly growing baby bump, it just wasn't working out. I'm now 38+ weeks and, thanks to ABC, I'm in the best shape of my pregnancy and feel fantastic. The teachers are extremely knowledgable about injuries and attentive to prenatal modifications. Several are practicing physical therapists. This place is well worth the money (especially if you're anything less than a perfect belly button model lol). I am soooo grateful to have learned about this place!! read more

I highly recommend ABC Pilates. There are conscientious instructors who know what they're doing and can help their clients achieve their fitness goals! If you've been wanting to try pilates or want to add it to your current fitness routine, these are THE folks to show you how. What prompted my review was the nonsensical one-star review! OMG! Gimme a break! You were completely satisfied with your classes and were given a refund on something that you clearly knew there were no refunds given, and you're upset that you couldn't reach the owner while she was on VACATION?! Are you reachable on vacation??? What would you have her do if there is NO PROTOCOL for dealing with such situations? Why didn't you CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE adding this to your exercise routine? Did you think those disclaimers didn't apply to you? They offer a variety of sessions, in addition to Zumba: Pilates, Yoga, Barre. Did your doctor nix all forms of exercise? LIGHTEN UP, PRINCESS. ABC Pilates is a 5-star establishment; you're just a 1-star client. read more

I've been to a few Pilates studios around LA and orange county and I've even tried the SLT pilates in New York but this place is definitely my favorite! Everyone is so nice and friendly here! :) The first time I met Amy and she was so positive and welcoming I knew this was the ideal place for me. I've taken classes with Amy, Katherine, Julianne and Noreen so far and they are all great and caring teachers. And the classes are super fun and dynamic! I signed up for their training program recently and I feel like it was one of the best decisions I've made. I highly recommend this place if you like Pilates and want to make new friends! read more

I've been pleasantly surprised about how much fun my Pilates classes are. I have a reformer at home, which I use but it does get a little boring so taking a class a least once a week spices things up. I'm new to ABC Pilates but have been going to Rausch for a few months now and after observing some of the classes, I thought this is the trick to keep my interest up and maintain my back. Julianne is a wonderful teacher, every class is new and inventive and challenges me to push to a higher level. She really cares about who and what she is teaching and it shows. Bravo!!! The whole studio is clean, has good equipment and energy. Nice people and location is perfect for me! Now it's just soooo many good classes to choose from and so little time. read more

I have been attending classes at ABC Pilates for over a year now, and I am loving it! The instructrs are very knowledgeable about the body and help you with certain exercises when you want to focus on certain muscles. I am currently pregnant with my second child and have been taking the Pilates-Barre classes. They are perfect for me at this time, as they focus on all the muscle groups I can work on, without jeopardizing my baby bump. I'll definitely continue to take classes here, especially after the pregnancy! read more

ABC fit Studio has been an essential part of my physical therapy routine. The instructors work closely with Rausch Physical Therapists to ensure the most successful recovery from any injury. Thank you ABC Fit and all the staff! read more

ABC Pilates has been my favorite workout studio for years and they continue to be creative and fun with every workout! I'm especially impressed with how they have met the safety protocols for COVID without compromising our workouts! I feel very comfortable and safe coming here to workout. Shout out to Julianne, Mary and Megan for keeping me on my toes! They are amazing instructors!! read more

I joined ABC Pilates 3.5 years ago to get in shape for my wedding and have been taking classes there ever since. Two years ago, when I got pregnant , I was able to take their Pre & Post Natal classes, which were amazing. Because of ABC Pilates, I was able to keep in shape during my pregnancy and quickly return to my pre-baby weight. All the instructors are so nice and up to date on the latest techniques. ABC Pilates has it all. Reformer. TRX. Exo Chair. Spring Board. The instructors are constantly changing it up so you never get bored of the same old exercises. If you are looking for a good workout that you actually enjoy doing, definitely check this place out. read more

Great reformer class with Elizabeth Hardin today! Great all over body workout. ABC Pilates has great knowledgeable instructors.

First I would love say that this is an amazing place to workout. The TRX, Balance & Core, and Group Equipment classes are one of my favorites. The entire place has the type of environment that motivates me to work my hardest. I'm so in love with the place that I drive 30 minutes 5-6 days a week to come here and it doesn't even feel like a chore. The instructors are all amazing, but I definitely need to highlight my favorite trainer, Mary. Her class is quick but my whole body feels sore after, and I love every second of it. She has a wonderful attitude and knows how to make you enjoy your workout. It's no wonder why all her classes have waitlists. You better book her class ahead of time. read more

Just left Mary's class!! It was amazing!! We stretched out, did floor work, reformer work, bands and very necessary arm work. Can't wait for next class. read more

Good variety of classes and great instructors to accommodate all levels of fitness. Pilates, yoga, Zumba and TRX classes available. I highly recommend ABC to stay fit without having to go to a gym. They are part of the Rausch Physical Therapy group which refers a lot of their patients to ABC for follow up fitness. read more

ABC Pilates has been such an incredible place to keep fit. So many great instructors. Nice clean facilities as well! Love love love it!!

Yeah! I found a new Pilates studio! After joining Bonne Vie Fitness last year, I was just getting into Pilates and then the studio did a disappearing act along with my prepaid sessions! So I did a little research and came across ABC Pilates. Now this is a true Pilates studio where they live and breathe Pilates. They offer both reformer and mat classes and there are many classes offered all day and evening long so your options are plentiful. They suggested I do a private session to see where I was in my practice and luckily I passed the test to move into the group sessions right away. I've been going to group reformer classes for about a month now (2-3 times a week) with the owner, Amy Cady and I LOVE it! Amy is both fun and sweet (with her Southern hospitality) and always mixes up the workouts so you're never doing the same routine. I've also had a few other instructors and while each has their own style, all are wonderful! I can't wait to get to the 30+classes completion to see how much my body changes (a famous quote by Joseph Pilates), but will continue to take classes at ABC as long as I can afford to. For all of you pregnant women: pre and post natal is ABC's specialty! And they even have Mommy and Me classes. read more

This is one of the best equipped Pilates studios that I have been to. Amy Cady, the owner, is well respected in the Pilates community. There are reformer/tower group classes, small studios for private sessions, mat classes and TRX classes. Love, love, love the Balanced Body equipment. I'm currently enrolled in the Pilates teacher training program. read more

Julianne was great as a zumba instructor......2 weeks later when I had to cancel the classes I had prepaid for it was a nightmare. I literally chased down the owner, Amy to obtain my refund. Due to a Dr.'s request to stop the zumba I had to cancel 2 sessions into my 15 prepaid sessions. It ended up fine, with the refund finally given to me, but only after repeated phone calls and emails....most of which were not returned the first few days. Pay as you go ????....... read more

I absolutely LOVE ABC Pilates. I have been going to ABC Pilates for 2 years now. The staff is amazing and I have noticed a huge difference in my muscle tone and strength. I also love the people that go there. Everyone is so friendly and it is always a positive experience. It makes such a difference in my day when I am able to go and take a class for an hour and have that time to just unwind and focus on me. Bethany has really helped me on my form and improving my workouts. Julianne is really good about asking what classes we love or what she would like us to add, she always makes sure that everyone is happy with their experience there. Another thing I like is that the class sizes are small, 6-7 people, so the teachers can really focus on everyone. As you can tell I just can't say enough about ABC Pilates! read more

I started taking classes at ABC Pilates about 3 weeks ago and I have been so pleased. The owner Amy, is very kind, and I have had private lessons from both Katherine and Julianne who are both really fun but also pushed me to work my hardest. Now I have moved on to taking the group classes which have been tough for me - but in the best way. It has only been 3 weeks but I can already see and feel a difference in my body. I am very excited to continue my journey at ABC Pilates and am glad I came here on the recommendation of a friend of mine who was also a former client. read more

This place is too legit too quit. Big ups to my momma BETHANY BUTLER who keeps it clear eyes, full heart, Brazilian butt lift lift lift! I'm also a big fan of JULIANNE LAND; her hips don't lie. Finally, VALLI G's RUN FUSION bumped up my run and included my favorite thing to work on, HANDSTANDS!!!!!!! read more

Checked them out..."Obviously" they are a one star establishment. The girl with the one star is entitled to her opinion and you just made the business look bad. Not only does it look like an instructor or owner posted that, suzi c., but you have got a bad attitude. Pick on someone who goes to cross fit....not pilates. read more

I liked it. The instructors were not in the best shape but I like the machines.

I've done a series of reformer classes here and they were all really great. All of the teachers knew what they were talking about and the classes were always engaging. All of the teachers are great, but Julianne is my favorite. The studio also offers TRX, which is also really fun. read more
