This studio is amazing! It offers small, intimate classes which allows for each and every individual to have the attention of the instructor. Since I am new, I need a lot of pointers and adjustments so this is perfect for me! If you're looking for a class that is effective but fun, take Aubrie's classes! Personally, my favorite way to start my day is at her 7am class as it gets my body moving and my mood right. read more

As a newbie to Pilates, Coastline is the ideal studio to learn at. I don't think I will ever make the switch to a larger studio after experiencing the luxury of Coastline. The intimate studio setting and small class sizes (a maximum of 6 people) ensure that every student gets the attention, instruction, and modification they need. The cozy atmosphere and small group dynamic make each session feel welcoming and truly personal. It's more like a little community than just a workout class. The location is another huge plus. It's easy to find, has convenient on-site parking, and is situated at the start of the Westside, meaning you don't have to battle heavy traffic to get there. Everything about the studio, from the beautiful wood floors and reformers to the perfectly situated windows that let in the natural sunlight, feels thoughtfully designed to make the experience as enjoyable as possible. I usually take Aubrey's class, and I absolutely love it. She has a gift for making Pilates fun, always bringing laughter into the room and creating a lighthearted environment while also ensuring that students are getting a great workout. She always has something funny or profound to say, which we then spend the rest of the class laughing about. The most recent Aubrey-ism is that "Nobody is a winner". It's funny, yet profound. There's something so energizing about starting my Friday morning with a 7 am class full of movement and genuine joy. I've taken exercise classes in the past where no one speaks, and the energy feels stiff, but Aubrey's classes are the complete opposite. Abigail's classes are also fantastic, and her expertise in Pilates shows. My personal favorite classes are the Wednesday and Friday 7 am classes, though getting a spot feels like competing in the Hunger Games! I would love to see more early-morning options on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Thursdays to make it easier to get in. If you're thinking about trying a 7 am class, I highly recommend booking well in advance. read more

I have been taking Abigail's Ageless Pilates Class for a couple months and really notice a change in my posture and balance! I really "feel" taller. This is very satisfying for this 70 year old with osteoporosis! It works! read more

This is such a great studio--I feel so lucky to have it within walking distance of my house! It is small, locally owned (ugh, I hate how chains are taking over everything), and has great teachers with very low turnover. Small class size and lots of individual attention. The only bummer is the price, but if you can commit to twice per week, it's reasonable. Thanks, Abigail! read more

I started taking classes here a month ago. I'm a toddler mom and it's right by my house so it was great to get a quick break for some self care. I was loving it both physically and mentally! I was booking through ClassPass as that's the only way I can afford it. Then suddenly they stopped offering classes through ClassPass. I'm so disappointed, I was really excited and always looking forward to these classes. It's unfortunate they're really only accessible to a certain demographic now. read more

Fantastic Pilates studio, absolutely enjoy my sessions here, learned so much, and a great environment. Teresa and the rest of the practitioners have all been stellar. They have the fundamentals down and then delve into advanced and cutting edge areas in a variety if disciplines that are highly beneficial. We drive over the hill from San Jose two nights a week gladly to get 1:1 sessions and also for excellent group workshops now and then. Wife and I super active with climbing, surfing, and been to a variety of practitioners all over and trust me that Coastline Pilates is awesome. Great people, solid solid instruction, and some stellar learnings aha moments, and a fun environment. Love it! read more

Coastline Pilates - Nice environment, excellent reformers , and lots of others tools and toys you'd expect of a top Pilates studio. - Pilates Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

As someone in eating disorder recovery, I have struggled greatly throughout my life with body image and with finding a balance between healthy body movement, compulsive over-exercising, and problematic yo-yo dieting. I didn't think it would be possible for me to find a body-positive personal trainer who would not push a specific diet or eating plan on me and who would be supportive of my very individual goals: becoming stronger, more flexible, and free in my body as it is NOW, not striving to attain someone else's ideal. Somehow I was lucky enough to stumble across Abigail's Instagram page and on a vague hope, I reached out to her to inquire about body-positive fitness training. What ensued was over a year of meeting regularly to work out one on one, with one of the most humorous, compassionate, and encouraging people let alone trainers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Abigail had me laughing while learning to do proper body mechanics during strengthening exercises that didn't hurt me, she had me learning how to use my body so that I could do the things I wanted to do in life and feel stronger, more capable, and ready to just take on the world. What really sets her apart in addition to her stellar personality is her outstanding expertise after working in the field of personal training for 20 years. When I would come in with say a sore knee, she would immediately, on the spot, tailor our entire workout to alleviating and addressing the pain. By the time the session ended, I'd find relief and have a plan for how to continue to work with the body part that was troubling me. It was almost like working with a physical therapist! So rare to find this level of knowledge of body mechanics in a trainer / fitness instructor. In the following year, with the confidence and strength I gained working with Abigail and taking Pilates reformer classes with her at Coastline, I found the courage to start my own business in the very active field of dog walking and hiking. I have been able to stay injury free and continued to build strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health. I am a larger person; my physical results at the doctor's office have vastly improved and I now enjoy excellent health (and a resting heart rate of 48). Abigail helped me to learn to work WITH my body instead of against it, and reformer Pilates is just an absolute blast. A former varsity high school athlete, successful amateur triathlete, and half-marathoner, I have done my share of exercise -- but the Pilates reformer and other apparatus and mat time works the muscles, puts me in my body, and increases flexibility like nothing I've ever done, even yoga. I would recommend Abigail and the classes at Coastline Pilates to anyone seeking to improve their fitness, their relationship with their body, and who wants to enjoy humor while being active! Thank you, Abigail, for everything. read more

Every time I attend a class they have been excellent. They are small, which means the instructor can pay attention to individual needs, and flexible so they incorporate suggestions from students. I have had classes with 3 instructors--Abigail, Theresa, and Diane--and all of them are dedicated and committed to their students. And everyone is very friendly. I plan to take classes regularly. read more

Ayelet was such a great instructor! She made us instantly feel at ease, ensured we were doing the moves correctly and answered all our questions. She was patient and kind and we are excited to continue doing Pilates at your location. read more

I followed Abigail here from my gym in Scotts Valley. She has gotten me hooked on the Pilates reformer classes. I have never enjoyed working out and she has changed this for me. I feel stronger, taller and happier since starting her classes. The studio is super easy to get to, clean and they have lots of tools and equipment to go with the reformer machines. read more

Teresa is great! As previous reviews state, she is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the human body and can almost always find the root of the cause to your pain. Her teaching techniques are so unique and effective. It's never the same routine, she is always mixing it up and designs her classes to gradually intensify as your muscle builds. Overall, she's great! read more

I had a private session with Teresa and she was wonderful. She took the time to educate me on exactly what she sees going on with my body, where I have weaknesses and how it will affect me as I get older. The best part is how encouraging she is. It's like she's rooting for you the whole time! Her rates are very affordable, and she clearly wants to make Pilates accessible for everyone. Her enthusiasm is very contagious. I would recommend her to anyone. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Theresa and her practice. She has helped me heal and get in good shape over the past year. I feel so lucky to have found her! Not only is she able to kick my butt and make me sweat, but also knows when I am in need of a gentle session to reconnect with the basics. Thank you Theresa for all your help and encouragement! I will never give up Pilates or my coveted time slot with you! read more

Taking pilates classes with Teresa at Coastline Pilates has changed my body and my life. When I started classes with her my back was weak from previous injuries and I had chronic neck pain from working on computer and sitting all day at work. Within the first few classes my body started feel stronger, more energized and flexible. I have so much more flexibility and range of motion from my toes, ankles, up to my neck and head. Teresa is so knowledgeable, she works with your body to keep it safe and she helps you make it strong and flexible again, and she makes it fun! With my new core strength now my back and neck pain are gone. Plus she offers a variety of classes - mat, reformer, dance and more, I can't recommend her highly enough! read more
