She knows all of her clients, remembers the little things, and builds genuine connections that make you actually look forward to each session. There's a natural sense of community in her studio, and you can feel how much she genuinely cares about the people she works with. It's rare to find someone who brings this level of authenticity, energy, and connection to their work. read more

Co-Op Pilates - Pilates Near Me - Irvine, California

I've been going to this Pilates studio now for several years. I have gone to numerous pilates studios in the area and I wanted to find one that was a little bit more intimate with an owner that actually cares about your opinions. I really like the class instruction here, everyone is very nice, they do a lot of fun member appreciation events, and my favorite teachers are Rowena, the owner -Jessie, Amber, Nikki, Kady, and Maddy ! I'm sure there are more that I can't remember, as everyone is so lovely. If you're looking for a new home for your fitness journey or just a place to elevate your practice - come to co op read more

Co-Op Pilates is located in the same plaza as Ralphs by Einstein Bros Bagels. I booked a class on ClassPass for the Fundamentals (All Levels) with Rowena, since I enjoyed a pilates class I took with her at another studio. This studio is super cute and very festive, with Valentines Day décor at the time of my first visit. When I arrived, the owner checked me in. For any first-timers, arrive 10-15 minutes early to sign a waiver and settle into the studio. They have lockers for your belongings, and there is a strict no cell phones policy in the studio area. Bring grip socks, or you can buy new ones here. This is standard for safety reasons with all reformer pilates classes. The work out space is well equipped. There are 12 reformer pilates station, set up with all the best of the balanced body equipment, very similar to a Club Pilates set up. Oh I will say I noticed this studio had a lot of the pregnancy wedges for pregnant students, where as other studios tend to only have one or two. I found out that they actually have prenatal and postnatal classes here. Not that I need it, but I'm just sharing in case someone else does. So back to the class. Rowena is so fun. She is so engaging. She was asking the students how we were feeling, if there were injuries, if there were any areas we wanted to focus on. Based on our feedback, she designed the class accordingly. This takes a lot of experience to do that on the spot. I loved the class pace and the music. Such a great work out! I would definitely come back whenever my schedule allows me to visit this studio. Especially when I see Rowena on the schedule. read more

I am soooooo glad this place opened and it is conveniently really close to our home, so I have no excuse not to go to these amazing classes, taught by incredible people. My first time there, I was a little anxious, but the owner and instructor were both calming and informative. I took a break right after that, because I had an emergency surgery... After I was cleared for light workouts, I came back! I let the instructors in each class know and they helped me with modifications and adjustments. Everyone here is so welcoming, and I bought a 10 class pack and a 3 months unlimited, for when I am feeling 100% better. I have to give a special shout-out to Rowena, because her light just SHINES. I am OBSESSED. I still have to take more instructors (especially when I go back to work and my classes will change from mornings to evenings...), but thank you to Rowena for pushing me to have the shakes. Parking is pretty easy, but it is in a Ralph's shopping center read more

This cute little studio is such a gem! The classes and instructors are amazing, but what sets it apart is the feeling of community here. The studio is so welcoming and the owner, Jesse, is always doing some sort of fun activity in the studio . I'm here 7 days a week and am so happy I found this place. read more

Co-Op Pilates - Pilates Near Me - Irvine, California

This is a great, clean, and inviting space to grow in your pilates skills! Everyone has been welcoming and I appreciate the many class options available to schedule. read more

I love this place and have liked all the instructors I've taken classes with so far. The studio is clean and organized. There are lockers just outside of where the reformers are, and there are even name plates available for regulars. Everyone at Co-Op (from the instructors, owner, and other guests) is friendly and welcoming. It's a friendly and enjoyable community. As a plus-size person, I had some concerns about doing pilates, but I have not had a problem at Co-Op as the instructors are accommodating and the classes are enjoyable. I feel myself improving and feel confident knowing it's a judgment-free space where we can improve on our form and technique. I also appreciate how involved Co-Op is with the local community and small businesses. I would happily recommend Co-Op to anyone wanting to try pilates. read more

I've been coming here for a while, and what made me stay and choose this studio after shopping around is their focus on form. Since I used to do one-on-one sessions back home, it was really important to me that if I transitioned to group classes, form would still be a priority. The instructors here pay close attention to your form, and I love that they're quick to offer corrections during class (in a friendly, supportive way). They're also great at providing modifications for anyone who needs them. I've taken classes with most of the instructors (Kady and Maddy are my personal favorites) but honestly, they're all really great. Everyone is attentive, approachable, and easy to talk to. I also love that each instructor brings their own style, energy, and variations, which keeps classes fun and exciting! And shoutout to the little things that make a big difference: the restroom always smells amazing, and I love the thoughtful extras like hair ties and tampons. I'm really glad I found this place! read more

I've been going to co-op Pilates for almost a year now and have had a pleasant experience overall. Studio- well kept, clean, and organized. The instructors always ensure equipment is wiped down after each class. The temperature is always comfortable during class and filtered water is available for everyone, this is great because I always need to fill up my water bottle. Staff - the staff is what makes the experience here wonderful. Everyone is highly professional, welcoming, and most importantly KIND. The instructors are knowledgeable and make the classes enjoyable. The front staff is always customer focused and provide great customer service. The studio offers classes and activities in studio and off site (example at irvine spectrum) a few times a year. This is great because it allows members to socialize and connect. I love the community building aspect of the studio. I even won a club studio tee in a raffle one month. Classes/ App -I also love that this studio offers a variety of classes and class levels. For example there is intro/evolution which is intermediate/ and advanced. There are also tons of class time options. The app is super easy to use and lets you see what number you are on the waitlist. The best part is the class routines are different each time, for example I take the evolution class regularly and the routine is different each week. The studio offers private lessons also, I have not taken those but they are available. Overall I would highly recommend this studio to all levels. It's a welcoming and engaging environment where you can get a great workout. read more

Co-Op Pilates - Studio - Pilates Near Me - Irvine, California

Now that I've officially committed to a membership I thought it was time for a re-review. The unlimited membership price is pretty typical for OC Pilates but I like that there are a few perks, including a members only meditation night. I love that Jessi (the owner) does a wonderful job of creating a space that feels like more than just a spot to get your workout in, it's a real community. All of the instructors I've worked with consistently (Kady, Amber, Ashley, Robin and Kaycie) are fantastic. I appreciate that there's a strong focus on form and technique here; it's not the kind of place where it's easy to injure yourself because the instructors are quick to provide modifications, support, and hands on corrections during class. I started in fundamentals and have worked my way into a few evolution and cardio rush classes and I like that there's always variety. Even in the same level of classes or with the same instructor we're doing something different every time which challenges us and makes it fun. It's been a great place to level up and push myself with compassionate and kind teachers who don't judge. The membership is well worth it and I am grateful to have this spot so close to me. I also like that Jessi is always coming up with unique activations to connect with the local community, like bringing in different vendors or charity causes. read more

I finally found a Pilates studio where I feel truly comfortable! The classes are great and the instructors genuinely care. They always ask if you have any injuries and help you modify as needed which is reassuring. The studio is clean and well-kept, and booking classes is super easy (though they do fill up quickly!). They have different classes. I began with a prenatal class to help me ease into their fundamentals and cardio rush during postpartum. I'm excited and looking forward to their intermediate and advanced classes once I feel stronger. Overall, such a positive and welcoming environment. Also, the owner Jessi is the kindest! read more

My favorite Pilates in orange county!!! I have tried at least 7 places and I'm sticking to coop!

I have done barre, yoga, and weight training for years, but haven't tried reformer pilates until I discovered this amazing studio. As a mom of two children under 4, I felt out of shape and tired most days, but that changed once I committed to going 3 times a week. All the instructors are great and engaging. The best thing about reformer pilates is that it doesn't kill my cervical spine as I exercise, as most other sports activities leave me with neck pain. The cardio rush class is my favorite way to get sweaty, and I think it has actually made a difference in the way my legs and buttocks look! read more

I am coming up on a year doing Pilates and it has been only a month at Co-Op Pilates, but it is significantly better than my previous studio. I came here to find a studio closer to work and stayed because of the supportive and welcoming atmosphere. I am working harder and more effectively with their instructors, so I couldn't be happier! Will be here for a while! read more

Amazing! I I love this place and the instructors are amazing as well. If you want to book Pilate classes with no hassle this is the place to go. read more

My wife and I have been coming to Co-Op Pilates for about a year now, and it's been such a positive experience. Don't let the approachable vibe fool you--it's deceptively challenging in the best way. The studio offers a variety of classes in a modern setting that still honors the essence of Pilates, which makes it both welcoming for newcomers and motivating for those with more experience. The instructors are all fantastic, each with their own style and strengths, and I really appreciate how they build in "progressions" so you can grow at your own pace. Special shoutout to Rowena, who is an incredible instructor and so personable, and Jessi, the owner, who is always kind, helpful, and clearly invested in her community. The app makes scheduling super easy, and the gamification adds just the right amount of fun to keep things engaging. On top of that, it feels great to support a small business that is so inviting and well-run. Couldn't recommend Co-Op Pilates more highly--wishing them continued success! read more

Amazing! I really enjoy the classes and community of ladies who attend the classes. It's a great workout and so far the times work for me. I am hoping there will be more earlier classes for those who work during the day. Everyone is very friendly and it's a lot of fun!!! read more

Jina was great! She explained everything clearly and was very welcoming. I enjoyed the shoulder and hip mobility training. Happy holidays! :):):):):):) read more

Hi! I started at the studio just last month, October 2024. My only question to myself is why did I wait so long to start Pilates. The studio is 5 minutes from my house and I just completed my 19th class. Never realized I would love something this much, almost as much as Pickleball. The instructors are wonderful and the classes are tough for me since I'm not flexible at all. But I'm noticing the change in my body slowly and I believe it will continue to help my pickleball game and my overall health and physique. :) So thankful for this studio! read more

I've been a part of this Pilates class for over two years, and I've consistently felt a sense of joy and positivity during my time here. The instructors(Kady, Ashley, Nicki, Gina and the owner Jessi) are highly skilled and provide excellent guidance, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes every class a pleasure to attend. read more

I love this studio so much! After my last workout studio closed suddenly I wasn't sure where to go next. I had been looking into Pilates for a while and I'm so glad that I went with Co-Op! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. I cannot stress how amazing the instructors are! Always willing to give modifications for any injuries but also push you to improve yourself. I have been there less than 6 months and my strength and tone of my muscles have exceeded what I thought I was capable of. This studio is the best! I've brought friends with me and one of them signed up for a membership too, it's always nice to workout with people you know. If you go alone is nice to get to know all the other people there too! read more

This is truly my zen zone. I've been coming here for about three years, and it's become such an important part of my wellness routine. The community is welcoming, and the instructors are absolutely amazing--knowledgeable and genuinely kind. The unlimited pass is so worth it because trust me, you'll become obsessed. Highly recommend! read more

Today, was my 2nd time doing the advanced class with Kady. It is a tough class but I love it! It's just hard for me to attend the Saturday 8am. I wish they can alternate the 8am to 9am. Kady provides options and or modifications that works for you. She also nicely reminds/assists correct form. read more

Jesse the owner creates and maintains a space where I can grow both my fitness level and Pilates Repertoire. Jesse tailors each session to my needs and encourages healthy behaviors. I am thankful for both her professionalism and personal touch. I look forward to many more years of sharing personal stories and building a solid base. read more

I've been doing Pilates for over 20 years and this is by far my favorite studio I've found. The warm smile that greets you at the door is what you first notice and then the teachers follow through with great classes. To top it off they are always offering fun incentives for the Pilates community. Can't wait for many more classes. read more

Love Co op Pilates First class is free so nothing to lose and then you get hooked. Jessi the owner has created such a welcoming and lovely community. The teachers,front desk staff and members are awesome, friendly and kind. I have several injuries which are all improving with my Pilates practice. Pilates with the reformer is Magic for the mind ,body and soul. I have completed over 300 classes and the teachers continue to change things up, and keep it fun. My favorite teachers include: Miranda,Korbi, Sophia, and Amber. Each one of these teachers continue to inspire, motivate and challenge me. They are each special and have their own unique style. I look forward to class which makes it easy to be consistent. For me it's a healthy addiction. lol Most importantly I get a fantastic,safe workout and continue to get stronger and healthier. Love this studio and highly recommend. read more

Love this studio! Everyone is friendly and the environment is very welcoming. Most of the instructors are delightful and they each have their own teaching style. The studio's app is very easy to use too! read more

I'm 10 classes in and wanted to share how fantastic this studio is. The instructors are really friendly and super helpful! I was a bit nervous at first trying to decide if the reformer is as intimidating as it looks, but I made it just fine and now I truly love it!! I've noticed less joint and hip pain so far taking fundamental and mobility classes, as well as a better range of motion. I have to shout out Rowena who is amazing! If you're looking for a studio, definitely give this one a try! read more

I am such a huge fan of Co-Op Pilates, and have been one since the very first time I stepped into the studio! Initially, when I reached out through Yelp, Jessi, the owner, messaged me back very quickly to set up my free first class. When I arrived at the studio, I was nervous, but it turned out I had no reason to be. Right off the bat, I was put at ease with how kind and friendly everyone was. The instructor explained the Reformer machine and assisted me with modifications throughout the session, which was so helpful because I'd never tried Pilates before. That was back in early March, and since then, I've been coming here consistently, at least 2-3 times a week, but oftentimes more. I've been lucky enough to take classes with most of the instructors, and I can say that I genuinely like every single one of them. Most often, I take classes with Amber, Maddy and Sophia because their sessions fit my schedule the best. However, I cannot say enough good things about Kaycie, Miranda and Korbi as well. All the instructors bring something unique to the class, and each has such a distinct style of teaching. No matter what, I always know I'm in good hands. Also, I can't forget to shout out the studio associates at the front desk, who are so sweet and super helpful, and Jessi, who has always been so great with answering questions. Definitely try out this Co-Op if you're looking for a new Pilates studio! read more

I just completed my 330 and I have to say coming to class after a busy work day is my favorite part of the day. I love the instructors and the people who come to class. When I leave my class my mind & body are ready to face the rest of my day. I highly recommend co-op Pilates . Regardless of your level you are bound to find classes and instructors that speak to your needs. read more

I love this studio so much for prenatal pilates!! I always feel great and it's very doable for any level while pregnant. Rowena is the best!! read more

Co-Op Pilates - Pilates Near Me - Irvine, California

This review is long overdue. It was delayed in purpose since I wanted to see results before I can give an honest review. I never tried Pilates before. First and foremost, I like the ambience and Instructors that I currently have with my classes. Their classes will surely make you feel bad ass after finishing a session. I appreciate every time that my instructor corrects me and show me the right way how to do it. It's not even a year since I joined CO-OP Pilates. To be exact... it's been almost 11 months. The results and overall outcome with my physical appearance and attitude were amazing! My weight hardly changed but I'm losing inches all around. My clothes that I haven't worn for ages now fits again. It only means that I'm gaining muscle and losing body fat. My posture has improved as well. Most of all, I hardly have any hip or leg pain due to sciatica. I'm more flexible and my physical endurance improved a lot! The owner Jessi's style of management of her Pilates studio made her clients feel "at home feeling" comfortable when they come in to workout. The Instructors and front desk personnel remembers everyone by name in a short period of time. My first week that I joined CO-OP Pilates... I was surprised that I don't have to check in and say my name... they greeted me by my name. I was baffled at first. lol... and even asked the receptionist... how did you know it was me. lol. There are Pilates studios near where I reside... however, because of my good and fun experience in all my classes... I choose to continue. I highly recommend to anyone who is currently doing Pilates from a different studio or want to try Pilates for the first time like me to join CO-OP Pilates. Best investment for your physical and mental health. read more

This studio has been my safe haven for the past few months just to unwind and relax. If you haven't tried Pilates, do it! You'll stretch, tone, and strengthen! I love coming here because everyone from the owner, Jessi to all instructors are amazing (as teachers and people)! I'm hesitant to share who are my favorites as their classes will fill up way too fast, but I'll be nice! Not in any particular order but Miranda, Amber, and Kady are awesome!! Their cues are perfect, the workout is intense/burn, and the music is always fun. Expect 50 minutes to go by fast! I have only taken one class with Jessi but she is also amazing. During and after my pregnancy she gave me tips and was so supportive. Even the women that come to this studio are gems. Everyone is so friendly and sweet. This place has been my second home. I highly recommend this specific studio!! read more

Took the cardio rush class today with Amber Kim. Had a great time and a fantastic workout. Amber kept the class engaged by correcting form and giving kudos to different students by name! The music was engaging as well and kept the class flowing. Amber would offer a variety of demonstrations to make the workouts easy to transition to and complete. Overall, great workout and will book again soon! read more

Have been attending Co-Op Pilates for almost a year now. Everyone is extremely kind and the classes are great!

Co op Pilates is more than just a reformer Pilates studio, it's a warm and welcoming community. All the instructors create classes that incorporate the full body. 2 years later I can't imagine my life without them. If you're looking for a safe, welcoming space to challenge your mind and body this is the studio for you. read more

Co-op Pilates is by far the best studio I've been to. The instructors are incredible and make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe. The space itself is open and inviting. Not only is it a great workout, it's a mood booster to be around people that lead with such positivity. Attending class is my favorite part of the week read more

I absolutely love this studio! Rowena and Kady are amazing (and honestly, everyone here is fantastic). I'd never done Pilates before, and every class humbles me in the best way. The owner, Jessi, is incredibly accommodating and helpful--since I travel a lot, she's always willing to freeze my membership when needed. The community vibe here is unmatched, and I always leave feeling stronger and inspired. read more

Been a few years since been at Pilates so trying to get back into routine. As a guy don't usually feel welcomed. Tried a few studios around town but none felt like a good fit, that is till today. Co-Op was so easy from online registration to the friendly front desk staff to great instructors. The studio is clean and spacious. Rowena was our instructor and made me feel right at home. Provided me plenty of modifications to make things more comfortable and easy. They had everything you need and all is clean and new. The owner Jessie was there and so sweet. She really cares about her clients and seems to have built a strong community, as many of the others in the class all knew her by first name. Bought a multi class package and can't wait to come back next week!! read more
