My husband and I had never done Pilates before and found Beverly on Yelp (where her five-star…read morereviews are absolutely deserved). We started going in September twice a week, and five months later we're still showing up--and the results have honestly surprised us. I'm noticeably stronger in my core and lower back, and both of our postures have improved. As someone focused on building strength and improving overall fitness, Pilates has been a powerful complement to my other workouts. It's strengthened muscles I didn't even realize I was neglecting and has helped me feel more balanced and supported in everything I do. Beverly is incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive. She seems to know exactly what our bodies need each session and thoughtfully blends classical Pilates with reformer, mat work, the Cadillac, and other equipment. Every class feels intentional and tailored. Pilates is hard--but in the best way. For the entire hour, Beverly cheers us on while also carefully correcting our form so we get the maximum benefit. She emphasizes precision and alignment, which makes such a difference. You leave feeling worked, lengthened, and stronger. We go in the mornings, and it has become our favorite way to start the day. Beverly's warm, happy energy turns the session into more than just a workout--it's a full mind-body reset. Her studio, located off Mission Street in a beautifully converted former church, is calm, light-filled, and welcoming. The vibe and lighting truly matter to me, and she has created something really special. And a huge bonus in Santa Barbara -- there's plenty of parking in her private lot, which makes getting to class completely stress-free. We truly can't recommend Beverly enough.

I come from a…read moreweightlifting/boxing background and tend to be more analytical about my movements during training. I found Beverly at her studio, Classical Pilates Studio on Mission St., and her instruction was outstanding. Her sessions made me feel noticeably more sturdy, balanced, and structurally sound. It wasn't just a workout, it felt like building real alignment, control, and stability that carries over into everything else I do. Beverly is precise, attentive, and clearly deeply knowledgeable; you can tell she's teaching true classical Pilates. And the facility and equipment is very clean and tidy. Highly recommend for anyone who is a beginner, trains seriously, and wants something that improves performance, durability, and longevity without unnecessary wear and tear.

I had never done Pilates before I walked into the Bodykind studio with my Groupon in hand. I hoped…read moreto develop some strength and flexibility that would help me with my persistent lower back pain. Being overweight, I was more than a little insecure about how I looked, but I was also desperate to feel better--and fortunately, that got me in the door. Because once I started working out at Bodykind, I developed a whole new relationship with my body and experienced the kind of validation that comes with working out with a small group and a dedicated coach. When my budget permits, I indulge in a private session, which takes that feeling to an even higher level. Pilates changed the shape of my body like no other workout I've done and I'm no longer in pain. Perhaps more importantly, the love and expertise with which owner Jenn McCandless teaches is so empowering, I walk out of each class standing taller in every way. If you are even considering checking out Pilates, or looking for a new studio, look no further. Bodykind is wonderful.

Keep in mind that this is a small one-studio business and NOT a gym. There are (I am assuming quite deliberately) NO mirrors. The interior is very plain...no distractions.

She is extremely knowledgeable about the human body and how your muscles work. She always goes out of her way to correct my form which I appreciate very much and I'm never sore after our sessions.

This place is a GREAT place to work out:…read more The instructors really get to know their clients, and they remember your needs and skill level. The classes are small, & the equipment is the highest quality(includes reformers, springboard, and TRX), so your workouts can be modified depending on your needs. Its super easy to sign up for classes/manage your gym calendar; all done online, but I've also been able to be squeezed in a class by calling at last minute. The gym is super clean and has friendly relaxed vibe. And there's loads of parking. I've been a member for a few months. I have done pilates at other studios, but somehow this one is very different. I'm amazed at how accommodating the owner is. There's no contacts or joining fees, you can sign up for a package or a monthly membership. After my first class I decided to get a gold membership. I justified the expense to myself, by saying to myself, "If you can shrink a pants size, you will have saved money by fitting back into the multi jeans you payed to much money for." I was right. I'm more toned than I have been in years. Also other people have noticed and made comments. Feels awesome.
