She provides an amazing full body workout and helps you work with your body at your own pace. She first teaches you the basic fundamental exercises and how to use of the equipment but Laura's classic pilates instruction quickly develops a real awareness for your own body. You will learn to work with ALL the parts of your body (including the brain!) and even the transitions between exercises are important to keep the work one seamless continuous flow. And yes, you will sweat! It's quite obvious that Laura absolutely loves pilates and the great respect that she has for the classic pilates really shows. Also, the studio is clean, airy and has lots of natural light, and conveniently located in downtown Davis. 100% recommended!

Yesterday I had my first ever Pilates lesson and today I'm thinking what kind of timeline I need to…read moreput in place to become a Pilates instructor. This place is legit! I had a lesson with owner Laura Cotler, and it was one of the most eye-opening workouts. She spent a lot of time going over the fundamentals of breath work, alignment, and getting me comfortable with the equipment. It was a great mix of feeling like I could actually do some cool stuff already (shoulder bridges, anyone?) and realizing I was like jello in muscles I didn't even know I had. I really like Laura's teaching style, in fact she reminded me of my former ballet instructor. She was very confident and has an eye for detail that seemed intuitive. I can be kind of a sensitive flower when it comes to one-on-one training and she kept it relaxed and focused without pressure. She seems like a real person and not a crazed workout Barbie. She also addressed every one of my concerns I had that other yoga instructors, even physical therapists had blown off, like ankle pronation and hyperextension in my knees. I also love the free long sleeved stretchy black logo T-shirt I got with my first lesson! I wore it around town the rest of the day and felt super svelte. Some other cool things: 1. The studio is open and light with cork floors and feels and looks very clean. 2. Bathroom is clean and well-stocked. 3. Free 3 hour parking in the garage directly behind the studio. 4. Unlike yoga where everyone has to be silent squirrel, Pilates studios often have a couple private lessons and classes running at once without creating distraction. I don't like to do my workouts in silence. Makes me nervous. Unlike the gym though, everyone seems very focused on their own work. No "how you doin'?" 5. I bought a package deal for private lessons which saved me some dough. 6. Online booking for classes and private lessons. I scheduled another private lesson with Laura for next week and I'll be counting the days!

I had booked a class but unfortunately had to cancel (with enough notice). I liked how you could book online, however, this business called and texted me MULTIPLE times a day for several days in a row to try to get me in. I finally had to block their number. Harassing potential new customers to take a first class is NOT a good look and completely turned me off to the business.

Sue helped me get to my goal and convinced me that working out could be fun. After NOT DOING Pilates for over 5 years, I'm back with Sue at her own studio. Unfortunately, I have put on weight and actually have quite a few aches and pains. Sue is helping me address these problems and is working with me to get stronger and become pain-free. After just 2+ months, I can see some physical changes already and I'm slowly becoming pain-free. She is good at assessing the problem and makes adjustments in order to minimize and eliminate pain. Some of my flexibility and strength are returning and this time, I'm committed to continuing Pilates with Sue.

Both Heather and Sandra are amazing, they pay personalized attention to each student in a class making sure we are all taken care of. Each class has a different "routine" which lends to not getting bored and getting stronger overall. They do privates as well and I truly appreciate how engaged and caring they are throughout classes and privates with everyone. I have never been this strong and my back is so much happier with me now that I am doing Pilates. I now know what an exercise high is!

They opened a few months before the pandemic and fought like hell to hang on (and grow!) their business during shut downs, class limitations, mandates, and wildfires. How did they do it? By building a supportive community...and by being fun! You won't find two people with more positive energy, and they bring that to class every single time. During the lock down I did a number of at home gym workouts through a few places and Yolo Barre was absolutely the best. Barre is a great workout for everyone. It's basically no/very low impact, and can be adapted to anyone's individual needs. Brianna and David were always very helpful to me (I'm "special!" ) as was Carolina. They gave me so much individual help! Yolo Barre is a "safe space." Everyone is welcome. It doesn't t matter do you are or where you're starting--there is a place for you. It's also judgement free--you won't walk in and see the place full of 20-somethings in Lululemon. Come as you are comfortable. If you don't have a friend at the beginning of class, you probably will at the end! They are also VERY safe conscious. They've offered studio, outdoor, park, and online classes over the past year and a half. They are the first gym in Davis to require proof of vaccination for studio classes. This is gutsy and smart! HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!

I love that every class is a little different--it keeps things fresh and never boring. The music is always on point and totally pumps you up! And it WORKS! I started seeing a difference in my body after only a few classes. I was more toned, I had more energy, and I lost a lot of the stubborn baby weight that was clinging to me. The instructors are amazing--so friendly, always smiling, they know your name and make you feel seen. They're great about offering alternatives if something doesn't feel quite right, and I really appreciate that they walk around and gently help correct your form so you get the most out of each move. The community here is just buzzing with good energy. Everyone is so welcoming and genuinely kind. I've even had those fun "Barre Babe in the wild!" moments when you run into someone from class around town--it always sparks a happy conversation. If you're looking for a workout that's uplifting, challenging, and full of positive vibes, YoloBarre is it!
