Even though I am able to take non-reformer pilates elsewhere for free, I was offered a free intro…read moreclass on Instagram and took advantage of the offer so I could try a reformer. Although they were really big on making sure you have grippy socks (I think they left two VMs about it and texted twice), other than that, it was pretty seamless: I signed up, showed up, and they did not try to sell me on anything. I took the class, and they did a 2 minute speal after, but they let everyone leave when it was over, and there was no pressure to buy a package, which I really appreciated. In sum, the study is very clean, the instructor was very nice, and I really enjoyed the class. If I didn't have access to free pilates, I might be interested.

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. Jade (Front Desk - La Mesa) - Truly deserves a shout-out. She keeps the studio welcoming, remembers everyone by name, celebrates milestones, and handles hiccups during classes with total grace. Her seasonal decorations and positive energy make La Mesa feel special.

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.

I had been looking for Spartan prep classes and had heard all over Facebook groups that this NXPT…read moreis the place to go for this type of training classes. It's a little far from me in the South Bay but I knew I had to try it. For parking, the lot is shared with other businesses so when I got there, it was full and parked in the lot down the street. I wouldn't suggest to park in front of the NXPT if it's the games classes since we're using wall balls near cars. When I found the class on classpass for Wednesday night, the name of it was a little confusing because it said "OCR/Games/Hyrox/Deka" so I didn't really know what that meant until I showed up to the class to learn that depending on when the next event is, that is the type of training they're doing. So my class focused on the Hyrox because the Anaheim event is in five weeks. Hannibal is the trainer and he was friendly with a quick introduction and had to jump on a call before class started. I asked around to sign the waiver and got someone to help me. I wanted to make sure that didn't slow me down starting the class on time. Thankfully I do strength training and hot yoga outside of this class so I felt I could keep up but having been to new classes before, they seem to take care of newbies with just a few more instructions. I ended up figuring it out and maybe the style of this gym is no hand holding but I ended up asking other attendees in the class about the structure. Most of the moves in this class were standard but when it came to Sled, I wasn't sure in my form. I'd suggest when they get newbies in these games classes to ask them if they've done anything like this before and if not, show them the proper technique of the moves. That helps in the actual events since form matters and also prevents injuries. Overall, it was a good experience and I'll be back!

As an electrician, I spend hours a day crawling through attics doing the same motions over and over. For years I figured the stiffness and random aches were just "part of getting older." Then I started coming to San Diego Yoga Center, and it has completely changed things. I'm more flexible, but also healthier, more energized, and a bit lighter too. The Bikram class is still a challenge, but now it's something I actually need. I even hunt down Bikram classes when I travel. What keeps me coming back, though, is the people. The teachers are genuinely funny, which makes a tough 90 minutes fly by, but they never lose the structure of the class. You get the laughs and the workout. The community is welcoming and supportive, and it's a big part of why I've stuck with it for years. Can't recommend this place enough!

I asked if they had a water station, which I was given attitude as well for asking this question. It's as if a water station is not a normal thing at a work out studio so I don't understand the attitude in the response. They probably wanted me to buy their water which I can understand, however it was the attitude given to me that bothered me. I took a break outside of the class and there were other girls outside taking a break as well, indicating that they had empty water bottles and the heat was too much for them but they didn't have any water. I gave more stars than I wanted because of the instructor, Sam. She was so nice and accommodating and I loved her energy. She checked in on the people taking breaks, I appreciated her teaching the class!

The workout was amazing, that is probably the only positive about my experience here. It was a full body workout, which is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, there was absolutely NO customer service, acknowledgment, greeting, NOTHING! When going to a new gym or studio there is a an initial conversation or greeting some type of acknowledgment - not a thing! I was even spoken to upon me walking in, I actually did all the speaking. As someone that works out often - I am so grateful that I know how to modify and adjust for my body because the instructor did not even ask me if I had any previous injuries, if I had anything that was bothering me, didn't even acknowledge me as being someone new in her class. I am only giving a 2-star rating because I truly appreciated the workout, as yoga sculpt is something that I really wanted to try out for a while. Customer service, experience, and acknowledgment is everything. As someone that is a gym manager myself I know how important it is for a customer to be seem, especially if they are planning to spend money there. None of that happened for me and will not be back!

I definitely have enjoyed coming to this gym for the past 3 years as a student. I really like how big the gym is, it has two floors, and they also have areas where you can lift and also join to do classes. The one thing I dislike and lost a star was that it can get VERY overpacked, and that they don't have enough machines for this. There is way too much people waiting on the one machine they have, valley enough treadmills for the amount of students that attend this school. They always run out of paper towels especially when it gets done to the evening crowd. I'd definitely recommend attending an evening time for the gym
