I've been taking Lagree classes at this Costa Mesa studio for about three years and have always had a great experience with the instructors--everyone has consistently been professional, friendly, and welcoming. Unfortunately, we had a very unpleasant interaction with an instructor named Anika after class today. My husband came with me as my guest. The app wouldn't allow me to check him in because it said he hadn't signed a waiver. However, we took a class together last Saturday and this wasn't required then, so the process was confusing. This was only his second time attending as my guest. After class, we were asking the instructor we took our class with and the instructor for the next class, Anika, on how to go about the process of signing the waiver and checking in. Anika's tone was very rude and condescending. Eventually we ended up in the corner area with the instructor from the class we had just taken, who was kindly helping my husband create an account and sign the waiver. While this was happening, Anika approached us and told us that we needed to leave because her class was starting. At the same time, she also insisted that my husband had to sign the waiver before we could leave. This was confusing because her class hadn't even started yet--the clients were still arriving--and we were already in the process of completing what she said needed to be done. The issue wasn't the policy itself, but the way it was communicated. Her tone was rude and condescending toward my husband and our friends who were with us. My husband and two friends, who have also been taking classes here with me for years, were all surprised by how we were spoken to. We've never experienced this type of interaction with any other instructor at the studio. We truly enjoy this studio and the Lagree classes, which is why this interaction stood out so much. I just hope future situations like this can be handled with clearer communication and a more courteous approach. read more

I tried Be Fit Pilates for about three months with one of their memberships, and unfortunately my experience was mixed. Some of the instructors were very friendly and welcoming, but others came across as uninterested and not very approachable. One thing that stood out to me was the lack of posture correction or guidance during class. Even when it seemed like people were struggling, there wasn't much hands-on help from the trainers. In a Pilates class, proper form is really important, so that was disappointing. I really wanted to love this place because the studio itself is nice, but overall the experience didn't meet my expectations. read more

My favorite studio in OC! I did reformer Pilates for about 6 months prior to trying the megareformer here. I wasn't feeling challenged anymore on the normal machine and wanted more strength training from my workouts which is exactly what I found here! My first time kicked my butt I was sore for days after but it was so worth it. I immediately decided to start a membership. I go 1-2x a week. I also do weight lifting and cardio. My abs and arms have never looked better! The studio is small making it easier for instructors to help you with your form. All the instructors I've had are friendly, enthusiastic, and encouraging. It's always clean and I've never had trouble finding parking. They also validate 2 hours if you park in the structure read more

I go to this cute little Pilates studios, right across the street from the South Coast Plaza before I go into the office. I always take Reagan's super early class & every time I swuuurrr it does NOT get easier LOL xD (not in a bad way) It's saur hard to get classes at this studio -- especially if you use class pass but it's so worth it once you do get a hold of a class ! Reagan focuses mostly on abs and legs with a bit of arms. read more

had one of my first pilates classes with Pattianna and it was such a great class! she has the best energy! I will definitely be coming back to take another class with her read more

I love this location. The classes are fun and the instructors are great! Every instructor has a different style, so it's always nice to switch up the work outs! Making appointments is pretty easy and can be done on the app. This location is pretty busy and parking spaces are limited. There's a parking structure close by and BeFit validates too! read more

The way my booty and legs shake after Anika and Cat's classes! The hurt is so good. I love Anika's cues and emphasis on proper alignment, everything makes sense and feels intentional. Truly great, great, great instructors! read more

Very great classes with convenient location and good price. I love how they have multiple classes at different times to fit with everyone's schedules. My favorite pilates instructor is Shuaaa. Recommended this to all my family and friends. read more

My daughter and I recently took Pattianna's class and it was great! She was helpful, engaging and taught a challenging class. Our mother/daughter time has a new favorite pass time! read more

I love BeFit! I've attended their public classes as well as private classes for my friends birthdays and I always leave sore and satisfied with my workout. The instructors are usually helpful & provide modifications if needed to accommodate any injuries/pain/sensitivity. The parking lot is small and shared with a Philz, but there's a large parking structure right next to it. They have a little scanning machine inside the studio to validate your parking ticket. read more

This has to do with a particular instructor Ami but after reading some reviews, seems like a trend that this place is uninviting and rude.. I was late by 5-6min due to an accident on the freeway - causing me to miss the cut off by 1-2 min. Which is out of my control! When I arrived in class, Ami made it a point to come over and loudly and aggressively say "your late, your late, oooh you missed the cut off by 2min". Almost making fun of me. First, I don't appreciate that because any instructor has NO idea what happens in any individuals lives to be approached and humiliated like that - it's not hard to just be nice. Second, there has been so many instances where she has started class more than 5 minutes late before so if she wants to tell me I can't be joining late, she shouldn't be starting class late either. Nor do I mock her and get at her when she starts class late (which may also be out of her control). Lastly, I've also been in her classes where other individuals (including me!) are anywhere from 5-10minutes late and she has no problem letting them in - she doesn't even say a peep. It leads me to believe she either has an issue with just me or decides to follow policies when she chooses... I've actually been not enjoying her classes as she's somewhat rude to me so this just put the nail in the coffin that I will not be returning to BeFit. read more

My first time ever taking a pilates class, and I loved it! I booked the class through a third party (like ClassPass), and it was super easy to enroll and check in. There was ample parking, I did take an early morning weekday class but there is a huge parking structure and they validate for 2 hours. Reagan was amazing, she helped me with my form throughout the class, and was motivational without it being too much. As a beginner, it was already challenging enough but you can definitely adjust it to your level! 2 days later, I am still sore but I will definitely be back! read more

I really like it here, it's always a great work out, everyone is welcoming. I have an extremely weak core (never passed my PE classes decades ago weak), but I never felt any pressure here; the exercises are tough, you can always take breaks. I feel stronger doing the Lagree method. I think the best features of this place is: 1. They have classes every hour throughout the day, you can always find a class that fits your schedule. 2. Instructors are good and not picky or chatty. 3. You can leave your stuff anywhere you like, you are not required to leave your wallet in a cubby you can't see. I will be getting a larger class pack when my current one runs out. read more

loved pattianna as an instructor--she was engaging, encouraging, and made the class both challenging and enjoyable. will definitely be returning to her classes! read more

I rarely ever leave reviews, but this was honestly a horrible experience. Wanted to try this place out with my boyfriend, but we ended up just leaving. We were running maybe a MINUTE or two late, got in the class and felt very unwelcomed. The instructor (Cat), told us we were late and then proceeded to say we needed grip socks. Keep in mind this is our first time here, we were new. She seemed very annoyed at us as soon as we walked in. No hi or anything, just attitude. My boyfriend and I ended up leaving and going to a different studio. read more

So far, I've had a really good experience at BeFit Pilates. I got a 10 class package and I plan on purchasing more. I've tried out different instructors and they're are all great! Morgan and Hunter are the best! Every time I come in for a class, I'm excited and the class kicks my butt. The studio is located in the same building as Philz Coffee across the street from South Coast Plaza. The studio is very clean and gets a lot of like natural light, which I like. You can park in either the parking structure or outside if it's available they give you a two hour validation if needed. If it's your first time, be sure to bring grippy socks. I would highly recommend checking them out if you're getting into Pilates with reformers. read more

BE Fit Modern Pilates - Pilates Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

If you're looking to start Pilates as a beginner I would not recommend BE Fit. At my first (and last) time there the instructor checked me in but didn't ask if it was a first time nor showed me how their machine worked. I had to figure it out on my own. The layout of the studio is my biggest issue. As a beginner you CANNOT see what the instructor is doing. The machines are set up in a line all the way to the other end of the studio. If the instructor is on a machine to show what to do and form you have to try and peek over everyone to try and see. When you're in the middle of a movement and don't know the instruction it is VERY difficult to again see the instruction for clarification. I wish the machines were staggered. Besides that major issue I will say the place is clean and in a good location. I'll leave it at this, I do recognize that there are people of varying levels of Pilates that go but I believe for safety and bodily injury an instructor should ask if it's your first time if they don't recognize you and making sure they explain the machine. read more

This studio has been amazing to first start Pilates since losing weight and feeling more comfortable going out of my comfort zone than on a treadmill!lol I've taken two classes this week and the instructors Jen and Minou are encouraging and very helpful with accommodations for beginners! I will be definitely coming back next week and the parking is good since they can validate as well :) From Running and doing HIIT workouts in Gyms this has been one of the most difficult workout in core and muscles but a rewarding feeling after! read more

BE Fit Modern Pilates is my best find on ClassPass so far. I try out many yoga, barre and pilates studio, and I can honestly say this work out has been one of the more intense satisfying sessions. The describe themselves as a "boutique fitness studio offering HIGH intensity, but low impact workout" and I definitely felt that intensity. Since the pandemic the entrance switched to the entrance off Sunflower. There is some parking in the private lot or parking in the parking structure nearby. They offer validation for up to 2 hours. You will need grip socks and I recommend plenty of water. The requirement for grip socks is communicated prior on the ClassPass app, so to the other person complaining about the grip socks, I call BS. And I've been to many studios that require grip socks. It's a norm for all of those who frequent fitness studios. My first class was with Morgan and I enjoyed it so much, I came back for a subsequent class a few days later with Anika. Both of them were super friendly and motivational. Morgan knew it was my first class so she did a great job explaining the layout of the studio and the equipment to me. The reformer machines are different than the ones I am used to at Club Pilates but Morgan did a thorough job explaining it to me. Both Morgan and Anika were super nice and provided alternative or supporting tricks to help me get used to their reformer machine. The work out at BE Fit Modern Pilates is so intense. They combine pilates cardio with resistance training to effectively engage your muscles. The warm up was even intense! During the work out I was shaking like crazy and the neon sign on their wall "Make it Shake" really lived up to its' fame. Their style pushes for quick results. All of the ladies there look amazing, so I believe it. BE Fit Modern Pilates has definitely made it into my rotation. I would definitely like to come as often as my schedule permits when I'm in OC. read more

I just discovered this studio, and I've loved the classes I've taken so far. My abs were sore for 3 days after my first class with Shuaa! The studio itself is in a great location, in the same building as Philz and across from South Coast, and they validate 2-hour parking. Highly recommend -- I can't wait for my next class! read more

I was sore for days after this class in the best way It was a really challenging class but so good. I will definitely be coming back here. I love the vibe and the instructor was really good. read more

This is one of my favorite Pilates studios in OC. The megaformers are of high quality and a nice size. The moves are very challenging but not miserable for anyone who does Pilates somewhat regularly. The location is great and there's ample parking. The instructors are all great and give good support, instruction and encouragement. Will definitely be back for more classes! read more

I was invited to take Shuaa's class for the first time and she is an amazing instructor and brings sweat and a smile to my face everytime! Classes are 45 minutes and you have to wait outside the building for the previous class to end before you can go in. Check in inside on the iPad and reformers are first come, first serve. After the class, you sanitize the equipment yourself. Daisy is also a great instructor with a fire playlist - I just wish they had different levels of classes (beginner, intermediate, advanced), especially for those that are just starting out. You can download the Be Fit app to see the schedule! read more

Love this pilates studio, all the instructors are great! Shuaa is my personal favorite, her class is definitely challenging for me but she's always so encouraging and sends out good energy to help push through her class. No matter which instructor's class I take I always end up drenched in sweat and shaking! Love love this studio read more

My friend introduced me to Be Fit, and now I know why she is obsessed with it! At this point I've tried most of their teachers, and I get a great workout and experience every time. They are all encouraging and help make sure everyone is doing all the moves correctly. As someone who has always done more cardio/weights types of workouts, I was shocked at how much my body has transformed since incorporating Lagree Pilates in the past 4 months. I love that it is very close to my house, so it makes it a little bit easier to make it to the early classes. There is a parking lot and structure, so there is plenty of parking. Highly recommend trying it if you have never tried! read more

You will be sore the next day! These classes really target those muscles you wouldn't otherwise work out. Instructors are really friendly and either demonstrate each move or describe it in detail. They will usually go around and help check form to make sure you get everything out of the workout! Like their sign says, you will shake! I also end each class feeling like I got a good full body workout. The room is packed full of the megaformers and my only complaint is that they are very close together. You could probably reach over and touch your neighbor. Otherwise, the room is very clean and reformers are up to date. It's in a plaza right next to Philz Coffee so it's really easy to grab a cup before or after your workout. There's a big parking structure that offers two hours free with validation either from this place or Philz. read more

MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PILATES STUDIO. I weight-lift every day at The 12, but I was seeking to tone my body even more with a different workout. This was it. I came into class expecting it to be easier- boy was I completely wrong. Pilates definitely humbles you!!! HAHAHA. My entire body began shaking with every workout- but it is SO WORTH IT. I have never felt stronger in my life! My core strength is literally so good that people at The 12 ask how I've gotten so much stronger. My answer literally is: Pilates :) read more

BE Fit Modern Pilates - Pilates Machines in Costa Mesa 3 - Pilates Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

10/10 experience every time I come to class. I have been to several Pilates studios in OC, and nothing compares to BE Fit. BE Fit challenges me in ways that other studios don't, and every class kicks my butt and leaves me so sore. Shoutout to Jonathan, as he is the best instructor here in my opinion. His classes are HARD, but his attention to detail, motivation, and effort to explain each movement is what keeps me going. All the instructors here are so friendly and informative and all challenging in different ways. I am not a workout girly by any means and this is the first and only workout/studio that I've ever been able to be consistent with in my life. I've been coming here 2x-3x a week, and I actually crave going the days I don't. read more

It was my first time here and my second time doing Pilates. I found this place and me and my girlfriend wanted to try out. Right away the Instructor Cat C. was very unfriendly. I came one minute late and as soon as I walked in she rudely said that I was late and needed grip socks and showed me no respect. Her unwelcoming face said it all, The environment felt uninviting and I did not want to do the class with this instructor. I checked in before I left so Im not eligible for a refund but honestly I'd rather lose my money than sit down and do a session with her. read more

BE Fit Modern Pilates - Pilates Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

tl,dr: Fun, beginner-friendly, friendly workout! Likes: - From start to finish, teacher Shannon was cheerful, helpful, and attentive. - The ambience is amicable and welcoming. - The workout was full-body and dynamic. - The studio faces Sunflower St, but since the windows are made translucent, strangers from outside can't quite watch us working out. - As class ended, wipes were handed out. Non-likes: - They don't have a front lobby for you to sit and wait for your next class as the current one finishes. So you stand outside watching vagabonds walk by on Sunflower St. - They take Venmo or Zelle (for buying grip socks), but not G Pay. - The studio is kind of cramped. Just enough room for one person to walk between reformers. Their ClassPass portal mentions that grip socks are required only on the "Info" page, NOT the "Appointments" page. So if you're clicking on a specific class, you'd miss the note that grip socks are required. I notice this confusion is common in other reformer studios' ClassPass webpages, too. Wish they and ClassPass would update this. I got an okay workout, a bit too easy. I should've added another spring or two on my own to challenge myself. I paid $23.70 for a pair of grip socks. read more

3.5/5 Maybe this class just wasn't for me. I took the xformer all levels class with Jonathan and it felt very fast for a new learner and I was struggling a bit. But again I'm new to Pilates so take this review with a grain of salt. The studio itself is very clean and aesthetic. I do wish there were more mirrors so I can check my form throughout the class. read more

~There's no place like Be Fit~ I feel like there are a lot of Pilates studios where I feel like I didn't get enough of a workout, but classes here are so good. Anika is the 1. Literally the best instructor I've ever met..I can see a huge difference in my figure & form when I consistently take her classes. Selfishly would like to gate keep bc her classes are always full, but sharing is caring and 100000% recommend. read more
