History
Established in 2025.
Charis Pilates expanded to Escondido in 2025 to bring our boutique Pilates experience to North County. After establishing our first studio in Poway, we wanted to create another space where clients could enjoy small classes, personalized attention, and high-quality Balanced Body equipment.
Our Escondido studio offers the same welcoming community feel that Charis Pilates is known for — a place to build strength, mobility, and confidence while connecting with others. We’re proud to be family-owned, local, and rooted in San Diego.
Meet the Business Owner: Kristin C.
Kristin is the heart behind Charis Pilates. After 23 years as a Navy wife, she discovered Pilates as a way to build strength, prevent injuries, and maintain wellness for the long run. What began as a personal practice grew into a passion for helping others feel better in their bodies and their lives.
Kristin opened Charis Pilates in Poway in 2024 and expanded to Escondido in 2025, bringing her vision of small, supportive, community-driven studios to North County. She believes Pilates should be approachable, empowering, and fun — no intimidation, no overcrowded classes, just real people moving together and cheering each other on.
When she’s not in the studio, you’ll find Kristin enjoying time with her family, exploring local spots in San Diego, or deepening her own instructor training to keep inspiring the Charis Tribe.
