You can tell right away it's a place where you'll feel comfortable whether you're totally new to Pilates or more advanced. Brian, the owner, is the sweetest. He's so kind, patient, and really works with you no matter your level. He makes sure you feel safe and supported every step of the way. You never feel out of place or like you're being rushed. He's just genuinely there to help you feel your best. If you stick with it, you'll definitely see results! I'm so glad I took my friend's advice because this place is wonderful. Can't wait to keep coming back!

The vibe is calming here and you feel peaceful both before and after class. Tastefully decorated and the layout makes this studio feel spacious. Plentiful with props (they have ALL the things) I do wish the cubbies were inside the actual room you practice in. I do end up taking phone and keys/wallet inside studio but would feel comfortable if cubbies were in studio to leave there. Instructor lead a great class and I felt so relaxed after. Can't wait to visit again.

Let me start by saying that I am not a gym rat. Having had experiences at both Marina and Salinas I…read morewill say that mostly the equipment is newish and in working order. The rehab staff at both sites are exemplary, the pools, not so much. The pool in Salinas has been out of commission for close to a year (as of 4/26), so those of us that rely on aqua therapy have been left behind. When dealing with staff there was very little assistance offered, but quite a bit of attitude. Since it's covered by our insurance, unlike other gyms in town, we'll probably just wait until it's repaired, since no one offered us the possibility of just going to Marina.

Nevermind they don't adhere to their own published class schedules, it comes down to a "take it or leave it" attitude at this place. - This, along with their confrontational attitude, is why my wife and I cancelled our membersiip after being members a very short while.

The first time I went there, I was afraid that as a Rubenesque boomer I'd feel out of place. No way. Everyone was welcoming and respectful and I was delighted to be in the company of other people in my demographic and condition, as well as younger, fitter people. I've been having extraordinarily helpful private sessions with Cody Jussel. Cody is the right trainer for me. She is a highly educated corrective/adaptive movement professional with deep knowledge in kinesiology, dance, pilates and other modalities. It's a financial investment, but it's worth it to me to avoid surgical and other treatments.

I was told by my doctor that Pilates would be a good activity to add to my routine. After a few introductory sessions on a reformer, I went looking for a good Pilates instructor and discovered Julianne Scoles.  My lucky day! I was immediately taken with her style and demeanor.  Typical of "older" students, like myself, I needed someone with  patience, who didn't mind having to repeat instructions. When Covid arrived, I bought a reformer and Julianne adapted to my situation at home quite easily using Zoom.    I'm going on 2+ years at Morgan Hill Pilates and I'm beyond happy to have found such a good fit!"

Besides a concussion, i had multiple injuries to my spine and the accident brought on bursitis, fatigue and depression. I was desperate. Depressed and I felt like a blob. For my birthday, my sister bought me a 1 month package for Pilates. She swore it changed her life and it would change mine. My first class was with Julianne and I'm not going to lie i was a thinking "really! How is this a work out, I'm not even swearing and how wil it help!" 20 minutes into the class i was changed. Not only does Pilates help with flexibility, strength conditioning but it's also physical therapy for my body. Julianne and and Angela are so incredibly knowledgeable that i Look forward to telling them about aches and pains because i know they'll make me feel better. I've also grown 1/4 inch back in my height...Pilates corrects posture! I also have my athletic daughter taking class too. She plays field hockey and track and complains of chronic hip issues. In just a month she's corrected all her bad habits and learned the proper exercises to stretch her muscles out. Highly recommend this studio. Great teachers and people.

I researched many studios before I settled on Pilates Two-Six. I thoroughly recommend the studio as well as the 2 instructors, Kendra and Drea. The studio is located in a private home which is very clean and inviting; they have all the props and everything needed to provide excellent core-strengthening and balance building sessions! I have worked with both Drea and Kendra who are each very knowledgable regarding the Pilates technique, as well as creative in adjusting the exercises to fit one's needs; they are good listeners and very adaptable. Inspite of my resistance to showing up at times, I always leave feeling so much more present, stronger and with a greater sense of well-being. I also appreciate Drea's massage at the end of the session, whenever I feel the need to release some tension in my back, neck, legs, feet, etc.; her finishing touches are wonderful! Pilates Two-Six also offers sessions at an amazing rate; the introductory session is even less than the on-going sessions. I feel that both instructors really believe in Pilates and give of themselves in a way that is very professional, dedicated, devoted and inspiring. I would like to suggest that you give yourself a wonderful present of Pilates and add Pilates Two-Six to your New Year's Resolutions!

Drea listened to my needs and history before setting me on a path to build strength, using care and compassion in her assessment of the right amount of band resistance and strength training exercises. What I love most is that no two sessions have been the same repetitive movements over and over. Drea keeps the workout well paced and intensity level at just the right timing depending upon and in response to how my body is moving each time. Cute private studio, responsive communications and easy booking. I'm loving the results so far.
