I'm deeply disgusted, disappointed and saddened by my recent experience at this studio with Amber…read more As someone who is currently pregnant and has never been to a Pilates class, I was shocked when the instructor responded with "OH FUCK" and rolled her eyes and walked back telling the other employees LOUDLY "she's pregnant!" She acted as if I had a contagious disease. I completely understand the need for caution and specialized training when it comes to prenatal fitness, but I was never told that I needed any kind of prerequisites prior to my class. To yell "oh fuck" roll her eyes and walked away from me without explanation or sensitivity, felt discriminatory and insensitive. It was a moment that made me feel excluded and unwelcome, at a time when feeling strong and supported is more important than ever. I sincerely hope the studio reconsiders or at least trains its staff to handle such situations with more empathy and professionalism. Expecting mothers deserve to be treated with respect, not as liabilities.

I've been taking Pilates and Lagree for years, and when I say Wendy is the best of the best, I…read moretruly mean it. A lot of studios won't correct your form and just let you move however you feel like even if it's wrong. If that's what you're looking for, her classes probably aren't for you. But if you want to be pushed, encouraged, and actually make sure you're doing everything correctly and safely this is it. Wendy is incredibly attentive. She remembers every client, their specific needs, injuries, and goals, and she'll adjust and correct you in real time to make sure you're getting the most out of each movement. I'm so happy to have her in La Mesa and I've been telling everyone that will listen how amazing she is.

Updating my review…read more Tyler and Sam reached out to me upon reading my review and graciously offered to make up an instructor no-showing by comping their $30/30 days special. This alone speaks volumes of how much they care about their business and the community. After taking 2-4 classes a week for the past 4 weeks, I can say they absolutely deserve 5 stars. There is a separate restroom down the hall which has a code for extra security/privacy. Their studio is clean, smells great, and offers beautiful views and vibes both during the day and night. I love the view of the mountains during the day and the natural light. At night, depending on which class you take, you could partake in a candle lit class, a cool color-changing class, sound bath classes, and more. I have taken classes with Sam, Alyssa, Keshia, and Jen. They all offer a unique experience and I enjoyed each of them in a different way. So much variety AND time slots, you are sure to find what you need. From slow flows, to sculpt classes (fun!), to sound bath/meditative classes, and even mat pilates. So many options. I really enjoy hot classes and I believe they only offer hot classes on Saturdays (they do offer warm classes throughout the week though!) They are close enough to the Trolley Station where you can easily get a smoothie or quick bite before or after class, but far enough so parking is never a problem. Perfect location. I came across their studio through ClassPass and so glad I did. I am the type that enjoys both "personal" studios and "commercial" studios for separate reasons. If you like personal studios, I'd highly recommend The Balanced Yogi. Be a part of the family and enjoy the opportunity of growing with their teachers on their journeys.

I'm entering my 8th month of training with Andrew and this has been such a game-changer for me! I…read moream so glad I found him because there is no way I would be this far along or love Pilates as much as I do without his guidance. Andrew has an amazing way of motivating you while keeping the energy in class upbeat and fun. Every session is challenging in the best possible way and he has a true gift for fixing form so you get the most out of every single movement. His attention to detail is incredible and his encouragement keeps me pushing myself more than I ever thought I could. He truly stands out as the best Pilates trainer in San Diego. Whether you are brand new or more advanced, whether you are a boy or a girl, young or old, Andrew is your guy. If you want a trainer who will inspire you, challenge you, and make you look forward to every single workout, look no further.

Absolutely love this Hotworx studio. I was looking for a more affordable option for hot yoga and…read morehot pilates and this one definitely nailed it. I love the 24/7 accessibility and the ability to usually have your own sauna. With that being said, I do have some recommendations or things to keep in mind: -I wish the saunas were bigger! They say that it's big enough for 3, but 2 is definitely cramped in the saunas. -The saunas are not built for tall people. I am 5'4 and lay down all the way across the sauna (facing the instructors) -The classes do not vary that much. They are supposed to change every month but I notice some do not change or if they do, the variations are not that different.

As a former athlete and lifter, getting back into a consistent workout routine has felt…read moreintimidating--until I found HOTWORX Santee. This place has made the transition so much smoother for me, both physically and mentally. What I love most is the flexibility. It's open 24 hours, which is a huge deal as a busy mom. I can come in early in the morning or late at night, depending on what my day looks like. The system they use to keep the studio secure makes me feel really safe--entry is code-based and the doors stay locked, which gives peace of mind during early morning or late night sessions. The workouts themselves are incredible. The infrared sauna element adds a detoxing benefit that I genuinely feel. When I stay consistent, I notice a big difference: less pain and inflammation, improved flexibility, better posture, more energy, and a clearer mind overall. I also love that they have a dedicated weightlifting area! They offer a variety of free weights up to 50 pounds, a TRX setup, and a cable machine that allows for a full range of exercises. Being able to combine the benefits of infrared workouts with traditional strength training in the same visit has been a game changer for me. The studio is always very clean and well maintained, and I really appreciate that it's not overcrowded. Sure, there are peak times like any gym, but it's generally easy to get in, out, and book a session without stress. The staff is also amazing--always kind, helpful, and welcoming. You can tell they care about the environment and the people coming in. If you're looking for a unique, safe, and effective workout space that works with your lifestyle, I can't recommend HOTWORX Santee enough!

I've been going to the La Mesa & Santee studios for about two years and genuinely love both…read more Pilates is the first workout I've been able to stick with--great instructors, welcoming staff, and a group setting that keeps me accountable. I've seen real gains in strength and mobility, and classes feel accessible for all ages and experience levels. Highly recommend either location. I've heard great things about almost every instructor, but these are the ones I've taken most and would recommend 10x over: Tracy F. - Warm, funny, and welcoming. I've taken 150+ of her classes and they're always fun, varied, and challenging. She creates a supportive environment, encourages growth, and keeps things fresh each week. Her TRX class is one of my all-time favorites. Anel - My first-ever Pilates instructor and a big reason I stuck with it. She teaches a more classical style and clearly explains form and function, which built my confidence early on. Consistent warmups, always-changing flows, and uplifting energy that carries you through class. Jenni G. - A newer instructor to me and now a weekly favorite. She's super attentive (always remembers my lower back issue), offers great modifications, and gives cues that just click. Her flow and TRX classes are fun, challenging, and set to great music. A great pick for beginners or anyone leveling up. Stacy C. - Somehow both challenging and calming. She has a peaceful, encouraging presence and checks in with everyone during class with gentle corrections and praise. I love how she weaves in anatomy and form education--her classes fill up for a reason. One thing I will say is I've noticed there is often not front desk staff at this studio. Instructors seems to be able to help with any logistical stuff like scheduling a class or buying merchandise, but if you have questions about your membership, payment cycles, referrals/discounts or anything like that--you may be better off calling at a different time of day or just emailing the studio.

The studio is always clean, welcoming, and well organized, and the classes are thoughtfully programmed. Every morning I see Shaakirah, who is always so attentive and genuinely welcoming. She greets us right at the front and sets such a positive tone to start the day. All of the front desk staff are kind, friendly, and make the studio feel warm and inviting from the moment you walk in. Ann is amazing. I regularly take her morning classes, and I always feel great throughout the entire day afterward, her positive energy is contagious. She is always happy and cheerful, and every class brings something new. She consistently helps me improve my posture, form, and overall technique while continuing to challenge me and help me advance. She truly inspires me. Nicole is fantastic. I genuinely love her classes and always look forward to them I just wish she were on the schedule more often. Her classes flow so nice and include a lot of unilateral work, which has helped me correct imbalances and improve overall symmetry. Her classes are challenging, effective, and always fun. Lily's classes are the most challenging I've taken. Every time I take one of her classes, especially Power Pilates, I think it's the hardest class I've done, until the next week when I take another one and think the same thing again. She pushes us in the best way, encourages progressive layering, and creates an environment where you truly feel yourself advancing with every class. I enjoy her classes so much. Stevie is where my Pilates journey began. I've taken all of her different class formats from foundations to advanced and every class is thoughtfully challenging. She does an incredible job of showing how even simple exercises can be layered and progressed, helping you understand how to continuously advance your practice. I've also taken classes with Merilee, Natalie, Cece and Tuzdae, and their classes have been great as well.

I could barely walk from my…read morecar to the grocery store without pain, and I often had to lean on the shopping cart just to get through the aisles. When I started Pilates here, I honestly wasn't sure what was possible--but this studio has completely changed my life. Today, I can walk over three miles without any pain at all, and I've even started hiking again. The transformation has been incredible. The instructors are not only knowledgeable and attentive, but genuinely caring. Their support, encouragement, and guidance have made all the difference in my recovery. I am so deeply grateful for this studio. They've given me my strength, confidence, and mobility back. Highly, highly recommend!

Pilates of Eastlake is one of those places that you want to keep a secret because it's such a gem,…read morebut you also want everyone to know how amazing & special this studio is. I started with Pilates of Eastlake about a little over a year ago. I started because of the benefits that I've read to Pilates (strengthening core, correcting posture, helping with back/tight hips). Prior to starting Pilates, I've felt intimidated -- a huge machine you workout on?! Weird. I got over my fear and one day joined-I tried the intro classes first, and from there moved to the member ship of 2x/ week. I have noticed a huge improvement in my core and back. My hips aren't as tight from sitting down in a desk all day. I love, love the barre classes that Renn teaches! You feel it in your glutes! I also enjoy Linda's classes as well! Toni is another great teacher. And Alissa, is amazing and super sweet! Overall, my experience with this studio has been nothing but amazing. Everyone has been helpful and has their own style. I always leave feeling good about my movement. I love taking Pilates classes in addition to my strength training, the small, controlled movements help with muscles I didn't know existed. Try it. Run. Don't walk. Don't say I didnt warn ya, it'll get addicting!

She also does private sessions too, so for my birthday we rented the studio and 4 of us couples all did a private session that Alissa instructed, it was fun and hilarious to watch all the guys struggle but it would be perfect too for bachelorette parties or a girls night or anything.
