I normally go to the Orange location but I will occasionally go to the Tustin location as well if the class times work better for me. I've taken classes from Hina and Miranda here and so far I really like all the instructors I've taken. Miranda is so knowledgeable and her energy keeps me going. I like that every instructor is so different so it never feels like the same workout. There are 8 reformers here so the perfect size I think for a studio. There is a bathroom and there is more merch here for sale compared to the Orange location. Parking: plenty in the lot read more

Is ver clean, the reformers are new, instructors are experienced, there are many different locations.

I love this location so much because of all amazing instructors: Angie, Monday Megan, Jemima, Tracy, Sabrina... Honestly, I would have quit pilates months ago if I have not met such amazing instructors here. That being said, if any of my fav instructors no longer teach, I would def quit. I really hope they all have more teaching sessions here and at the other locations!!! read more

LiveMetta Pilates is located in Old Town Tustin. Thankfully they have their own private parking lot, the same parking lot as Honda-Ya. For any first timers to the studio, I recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to sign the studio waiver. Grip socks required, similar to all pilates studios for safety reasons. I brought a water bottle and my own yoga mat. They provide all the equipment required for the work out. When I arrived I was immediately greeted by Ray, the assistant studio manager, and our amazing Pilates instructor Jennavie. There was an ipad for self check in. To the back, there were merchandise for purchase and cubbies for you to store your belongings. The cubbies were small for my liking since the size it more for shoes and maybe just keys and a wallet. I had my purse with me and it was 3 or 4 times the size of the cubbie so I took my belongings to my pilates station. Jennavie was very sweet and caring. I have been to other reformer Pilates classes at Club Pilates and NeauxMix Fit, but we had other students who were complete beginners. Jennavie went to their stations before class and explained the reformer bed to them. Throughout class she was very precise and explanatory with her directions. She would come by and check on our posture and form to make sure we were working out optimally and safely. It was a great work out! I really like the pace of the class. She gave us breathing cues and she kept a very upbeat momentum to the work out. Jennavie was also complimenting my flexibility. I felt so good about myself after class; I would definitely come back when my schedule allows. After the work out, you are given sanitizing wipes to wipe down your station and all the equipment you touched. I can't help but notice how worn out some of their equipment was. The reformer closest to the entrance that I was on had ripped markings on the reformer showing wear and tear. Hopefully the studio can reinvest in their equipment or get repairs for those. Nevertheless still a good work out and the instructor was fantastic. read more

I've come here for a number of yoga classes now and it is always a treat. The ambiance of the entire studio is very warm and relaxing. The yoga room is very expansive with window on two of the sides making it feel really open, even when you're in a heated class. Thus far, my favorite class is the Soul Flow or Align and Flow with Tracy. It's a great way to start your morning for all practice levels. read more

LiveMetta Pilates - Restore Yoga with Julie - Pilates Near Me - Tustin, California

I've been trying this Pilates class for about 3 months now/ I started out with 12 classes but I dropped to 8 classes so that I can be more flexible with my time. You can get your money back if you cancel the class 24 hours in advance through the app. I can see the difference in my body, best classes are reformer plus and power classes run by Megan White. She loves to make sure you're getting your work out. Pain level 100% get ready to sweat it out! Pro tip: stretch before class by going to class 10 mins early, and stretch after class. read more

They tried to steal $300 from me. I was introduced to this studio by a friend, I really enjoyed the classes and the instructor was great. However, after my first subscription period ended, I wasn't aware there was an auto-renewal and didn't catch it until I was over charged $300. I contacted the studio but they basically said too bad, even though they can track and see I didn't take any classes since the initial period ended. They said I could continue to take classes and they'd credit me but why would I want to support their sleazy and poor business practice after taking advantage of a CLEAR mistake. read more

I have been visiting LiveMetta for private lessons for years! I recently joined and started the 8 classes per month membership and am hooked! Already considering bumping up to unlimited. The instructors are all incredible, the class times convenient, and the programming is next level! The studio itself is lovely and bright with big windows, the equipment is new and state of the art, and cleanliness is top notch. I cannot recommend this botique studio enough. The attention to detail and small class sizes is what really pushes it over the top for me. I truly look forward to every visit! read more

I had to come to terms with the fact that the gym just isn't for me. I needed something with an instructor, a machine, & most importantly, something that kicked my butt into gear. So, my determination to take a pilates class was born... Mind you, my only other connection to pilates was taking a class for my friend's 13th birthday so yeah...I definitely started out with the free introduction class. They're super cool and communicative with you about setting us your intro class (the person I spoke to I believe was named Rey, very very kind!) As of now, introduction classes are hosted on either Saturdays at 10:00 AM or Tuesdays at 6:30 PM. I originally scheduled for the Saturday but they were super understanding when I had to move it to that following Tuesday. The parking lot is pretty large. There are a lot of businesses but every time I come, it seems like the only ones that actually have business are the tattoo parlor, the health shop, this place, & the sushi restaurant (which is next on my list of places to go) Because of this, parking is usually not a problem but it can get a little clogged around 6:30/7:00 because everyone wants sushi so just be mindful. Regardless, wherever you park in the lot isn't too far from the studio. It's not too large, not too small, just right in my opinion. It's bright, all of the people who work there are always so inviting & kind, they usually have music, & everything is super clean! There's a little hallway with clothes and other merchandise that you can purchase (keep in mind that you NEED toe/pilates socks so if you forget to order some off of Amazon ahead of time, you can purchase there!) and cubbies for you to put your items. There's also a bathroom and a water dispenser for your convenience, it's the little things that matter the most, you know? There are eight machines, each with all of their own ball, head rest, bands, mats, etc. Everything is very clean, sturdy, up to date, and comfortable to use, especially after taking the introductory class. My intro class was with Lisa. She was very welcoming & did a great job of explaining the history & purpose behind pilates, how each position works various parts of our bodies, the ways to breathe & position ourselves, and basically every other detail you may be wondering about. That class definitely pushed me to sign up for a membership. I opted for 4 classes a month at $99, with their special, my first month was $45! I love the fact that they have a super easy to use app that allows you to keep track of your payment type, classes remaining, book classes, etc. I recommend booking classes early because they definitely fill up, especially if you start to develop a schedule & want to keep it that way! Typically, I take class with Sonia on Mondays. She's a great start to my week to be honest. She's just gentle enough to where I feel like I'm going at a comfortable pace but also hard enough to where I can feel the burn after class. Just recently, because I miscalculated my classes, I realized that I have one more available before my membership renewed but it was too late to book Monday so I opted for Wednesday with Megan. Let me tell you... That class kicked my butt. It's 3 days later and I still feel it, definitely worth it! At the end of each class, they make sure to hand you a sanitary wipe to clean everything off which we love to see (cleanliness is best!) & send you off, great class every time, highly recommend! read more

Classes are great. I have taken classes with different instructors, each with different vibes. Instructors are attentive to your needs. Classes are small, so it feels like a private class. The front office is easily accessible via call or text. Scheduling classes take advance planning as classes fill up. read more

1/21/22 Response to Business Owner Chris F: - Thank you for getting back to me. I will keep the offer in mind. - To specify, I had booked my class on this page ( https://classpass.com/classes/livemetta-pilates-old-town-tustin). On that specific "Appointments" page, you wouldn't see anywhere say that grip socks are required. Instead, you'd have to click on the "Info" tab and then scroll towards the bottom to read that grip socks are required. I wish this note was stated upfront on the "Appointments" tab too. And I must've missed the confirmation email too. I was very new to reformer pilates and ClassPass at the time. Now I know much better what to look for. - Hopefully your next new client will be able to take advantage of that new member discount even if they don't bring a credit card. 7/20/21 Review: Mixed. Much to like and dislike from my experience. Pros: - Relaxing. The pilates exercises are done at a super smooth pace, which brings about a tranquil feeling as you lie on a smooth sliding reformer. - Fancy equipment! Has different springs for varying workout difficulties. - For one of the last exercises, a shoulder workout, I sure felt something. That's when I feel I'm gaining something. - Nice minimalistic interior decor, including a very clean and serene restroom. - Polite, helpful, informative staff. Thanks Megan and Ray! Cons: - (personally for me) most of the exercises were too easy, so I didn't feel anything. Nice teacher Megan said I'll feel real good in the morning (which I thought meant that I may be underestimating the difficulty & gains of the workout). I still don't feel anything tbh. Throughout the routine, she instructed only two tension options (1 red and 1 blue, or 2 reds (red is tighter than blue)); I'd've preferred to add even more weights so I could feel something the whole session, but I decided to politely follow her instruction. Thus, my workout was a bit too easy for me. - (This one's a sextuple whammy.) Surprise purchase required before class. Their ClassPass page did not mention that you'd have to buy special grippy socks. Anyway, I arrived ~20min early. Signed in and was good to go. Then, not until 2min before class did Megan mention that I'll need to buy their special socks. What a last-min surprise. I asked for loaners, but they don't have. ( I'm grateful to another ClassPass that DID offer loaner boxing gloves, so I didn't have to buy my own for my intro class. And yes, they clean them. :) ) Assistant Ray said she can give me a 10% discount. But turns out they don't have G Pay. Didn't have my credit cards on me, but good thing I pack spare $20 bills in my phone case. They don't give change... So I just left my full $20 bill there and put on my new grippy socks that I'll probably never use again. ( ...Unless, I use them for long hikes? Could be good for my upcoming Half Dome hike... Trong cái xui, có cái hên ;) ) And during the digital transaction attempt, it got to a point where they asked for the spelling of my last name, which I wasn't comfortable with. No other ClassPass I've been to has led to this much can of worms, and I've been to several CPs. Overall poor business practice. - (my personal preference, a location concern) Lacks an idyllic view during sitting workouts. During seated workouts, you can see the P lot outside. I'd rather see just peaceful trees softly dancing in the wind than crowded cars and people outside the studio during my workouts. read more

I've tried a bit of different Pilates studios, but this is my go to when I'm in Orange County! Jennavie was a true mentor in the beginning of my Pilates journey. I took her orientation and truly felt that I got the foundational tools and instruction I lacked from other studios I tried. I've been going to this studio since May of 2022 and I highly recommend! read more

There are no words to describe just how much I love LiveMetta. It has been my happy place for about two years now. From the instructors, to the owners, to the people I workout with, I can't say enough good things. If you are in need of a new hobby or even just 50 minutes to yourself, I highly recommend taking a Pilates class at LiveMetta. Each class helps me decompress and challenges me mentally and physically. I am always pleasantly surprised by the variety of movements we do in each class. Whether you are an avid pilates goer or brand new, the instructors and staff are always welcoming and willing to help. Before you know it, LiveMetta may become your happy place too! :) read more

Love this Pilates studio! Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and fun to work with. I especially love Sabrina on Thursdays, she is an incredible instructor who does her best to make everyone in her class feel welcomed and work hard. I 100% recommend this studio to everyone I know. read more

Just so happy I found this place on Classpass. Went to Sheela's abs and glutes class on a Friday at 12 PM, and she kicked my butt. The class used a variety of equipment and I really felt like I got a solid workout in when I left. Sheela was also very hands on and watchful to make sure you were getting the positions right to maximize the exercise. The class moved quickly through lots of exercises so I felt like my whole body was being worked. Studio was beautiful and very peaceful. Parking is easy to find as the studio is located in a small strip mall in old town tustin. Love it and will be back! read more

Great place to work out! They have a lot of classes to choose from with knowledgeable and fun instructors! Full body work out in the pilates and fitness classes. It's definitely worth trying a class to see for yourself. read more

I have been going here over a month. I love the attention you receive from the staff. Instructors are dedicated and ensure your form is correct. read more

I love this studio! There is a variety in classes. All of the instructors are great. The studio is clean and welcoming. Thanks LiveMetta!

I've tried out many pilates studios in the past and this one is my favorite! The staff is very friendly and courteous and the instructors are very knowledgeable. After only attending classes there a couple times, the check-in staff & instructor greeted me by name when I first walked through the door. Definitely made me feel like I was part of the family. I have some lower back issues with my sciatica and on my first visit, the instructor noticed it immediately as I massaged my lower back before class started. She came over to me and said that if I have lower back pain, she would show me some adjustments to the exercises that would help strengthen the area without putting any additional strain on it. So throughout the class, she came over to me to help me with adjustments. It was the first time I made it through a pilates class without aggravating my lower back. The hands-on approach they provided really helped me make the most of the exercises while still protecting sensitive area. After a few months of classes, my lower back pain was nearly gone. The aesthetics of the studio is very calming and super clean. They have air purifiers (which is a PLUS during these times of COVID) and I saw them wipe down all of the equipment thoroughly between the classes. I really appreciate this cause some other studios I have tried just do a quick wipe and call it a day. I ended up signing up for their membership after completing my introductory offer. After trying out so many other studios, I finally found one that I felt cared about me and helping me improve my strength and mobility! If you're looking to for a pilates studio, give LiveMetta Pilates a try. You won't regret it! read more

I love this Pilates studio and have been taking classes here for years. It is my go-to for an amazing workout where I can leave behind the stress of the day and be amongst friendly staff, fabulous instructors and fun classmates. I highly recommend Megan's classes...she is THE BEST. Never a dull moment, always a challenge, and you will see positive results. I have an unlimited membership and go as often as I possibly can. read more

Tried this studio with a 5 class groupon. It's not too far from my work in Irvine and I was looking for a place where I could do lunch time Pilates. This place does a 45 min lunch time class so it fit the schedule perfectly. I've only attended these afternoon classes, and there has been two different instructors. The more recent instructor is better than the other in my opinion, because she comes around to check people's form and the other one really didn't at all. She just kinda went through the motions like she was waiting to get outta there. There's only 6 reformers, so I like that you have smaller classes. Only thing is you have to sign up online otherwise they can fill up quickly. read more

I've been coming for the private prenatal Pilates classes with Dan weekly and he's an excellent instructor! He's very patient, knowledge and has a sweet story behind how he got started as a pilates instructor to begin with. I look forward to continuing my weekly sessions with Dan throughout my pregnancy. Facility gets 5 stars as well. Awesome equipment and spacious rooms for group classes or private lessons. Restroom on site and a separate changing room is available. Great location and plenty of parking in the mornings. read more

Great studio with amazing instructors! I've never done Pilates before coming here, and it's been life changing. I took the Free Orientation Class where I learned a lot of basics on form that helped me for the future classes I took. Pilates has been a great compliment to the distance running and weight lifting that I already do, by helping me work on a stronger core and stability in my shoulders that have always been problematic for me. The instructors really care to see me succeed, and give great form feedback and encouragement! I always feel amazing after taking classes here! read more

Avoid this place. They are dishonest scammers We had a contract with them and we paid membership in full for 8 classes but they charged us a 15 USD no show fee although we paid for the class- we had COVID in the family and they used our credit card to do this scam They charged the 15 USD on top of the fully paid price of the class We will be filing a complaint with the business bureau What a pity that the owners would do this read more

Probably my favorite studio in the city :) :) This is my first time trying out Pilates and the instructors here are super accommodating and very motivational! read more

Love love LOVE!! Took one class and I'm hooked. I haven't taken a Pilates class w/a reformer in years, and so happy I chose LiveMetta to start my practice again! Felt welcomed the second I walked in. The class was exactly what I wanted! Julia is amazing. She made sure I was in the correct form and breathing. Thank you, Julia! The online booking is super easy and efficient. Well done! Excited to take more classes in their beautiful studio. read more

My fav pilates studio in OC. The team is super friendly. The studio is clean and fresh. All of the trainers are great but Sheela and Megan are the best. Thank you guys for this awesome job. It's a pleasure to come to you every time. read more

I have been coming here for almost three years and I love it. I gotten stronger than before. I went to physical therapy, acupuncture , and chiropractor but nothing helped with my back pain(from car accidents and bad posture). However, coming here helped with my back pain and I am extremely thankful for my teachers. The instructors and the managers actually care about the people coming here. Unfortunately, I moved away from Irvine, so I cant come here as often as I used to. But I am still driving 30+mins to attend class now! It is very worth it! read more

Love the people and the vibe! Great energy there! You can tell they really care about their clients!

Starting pilates and using the reformer machine can seem so intimidating at first, but I'm so glad I started here! They offer a free orientation class which is extremely helpful. Megan, Lisa, and Maria are all so kind and supportive. The classes are fun and I love coming here! Also, the app is super easy to use to book classes. read more

I have been to a few Pilates studios and LiveMetta is my favorite and the only studio I go to now! The location and equipment are very clean, and the staff are always friendly and remember me by name. The instructor Lisa is professional, and quite amazing. I always feel like l am learning new routines that are simple yet still challenging, in a good way! read more

I really enjoy the variety of classes. There are great instructors that make the classes fun and a great work out!

I am also one who purchased a Groupon for this studio. I bought the Groupon because a good friend of mine takes classes here and she's been raving about it to me for a long time. So I took the plunge and bought some classes. Full disclosure: I've never been on a reformer machine before. It took some getting used to, but I took my 5th class this afternoon and I felt like I knew what I was doing. It helped that most instructors along the way were very aware of my new-ness and helped me. You do need some sort of sticky-bottomed sock for the reformer. First class they let you take it barefoot, and because I had no idea about the sock requirement, that is what I did. I found some pretty slick socks on Amazon for cheap, and it's worth it because then you look like you know what you're doing with your cool socks. My first class was with Lisa, and thank goodness because she practically held my hand through the whole thing. She was an excellent instructor. The workout is awesome! A full-body workout is achieved in a very efficient manner. The studio is small, with 6 reformers. There is also a mat pilates room which one of my instructors utilized for a warm up. Overall the place is clean and inviting. Towels are provided, showers are not. I believe there is a changing room, and there's a bathroom. Overall I liked this studio, and I plan to be back with Classpass. Just make sure you reserve online...I had to call to figure out how to register for a class with my Groupon, and there are very specific instructions on the voicemail about what to do. Easy and I got signed up. If a class is full you can get on a "waitlist", which in my experience was successful once out of three attempts. There are regulars here that take up the evening classes, so register early if you want in. read more

I have tried two other Pilates studios and love Power Pilates OC the best for a couple reasons. The instructors are great and each offers their own style and twist so your body is constantly challenged. The studio is the perfect size, which allows you to get the right amount of attention. It's unpretentious, which lets face it, some studios can give off that vibe. I love the quality for the price and gladly recommend this studio to anyone looking to get it shape and enjoy doing it. read more

LiveMetta Pilates is the place to go for Pilates in the Tustin area. I signed up my wife here before the pandemic and her body began to transform within weeks. And then the pandemic hit us and also hit her body in a negative way. She resumed a few weeks ago and now she is on her way back to optimal health. She joined the unlimited classes and I can personally see the increased vitality and energy in her daily life. Thank you very much instructors Sheela, Lisa and Jamie for you excellent guidance. Also you have the access to the Orange location if that is more convenient. read more

I have been coming to the Tustin location for 3 years and it is the best! The staff is great and always friendly and helpful. The reformers and all the equipment is in excellent condition. I highly recommend this studio! read more

I bought this as a Groupon. When I got to the studio there was no one there. I called the owner and left a vm asking her if the class was cancelled. The class was suppose to start at 9am. The instructor, finally arrived 10 minutes later. She was upset and said she "couldn't find parking". The instructor was then upset at me because I called the owner. She demanded I call the owner back to explain the situation. During the session, the instructor wouldn't help me with the Pilate moves. She said I needed to buy private sessions to get individual help. Nope, never going here again. Such a waste of money. read more

Great studio with 6 reformers in the class allowing for enough time for instructors to correct any problems with positioning. Parking is easy and class schedule is ideal for week nights and weekend mornings. I came as a beginner and now prefer the intermediate to advanced classes. When I was pregnant nearly 2 years ago, I came to the studio 2-3x a week until a week before my delivery. Instructors are knowledgeable and provided modifications based on my comfort and safety. This really made delivery a breeze for me as exercises were low impact and kept my heart rate up. I came back postpartum and was excited to try some of the more advanced level classes. Intermediate or advanced students can take the classes appropriate for them. Even if you can't make the time to an advanced class, instructors look to help you with modifications to give you a good workout. Can't recommend this place enough as I've only had positive experiences. read more

Highly recommend...we left private lessons for these group lessons and couldn't be happier. It's a full hour of non-stop action! Well priced, great location in old Tustin and a great on-line presence. You can make all your appointments on-line and they offer plenty of classes throughout the week that would suit any schedule. Try it! read more

I cannot thank Dan enough for helping me throughout my first pregnancy and now postpartum. Doing pilates throughout my pregnancy was more beneficial than any prenatal class I have attended. I cannot express how important pilates was in prepping my body and mind for labor!! I had the ideal pregnancy and I can't thank Dan enough for it. I didn't experience any morning sickness, back pain, body aches, or any trouble sleeping. Dan helped me strengthen my core, back and pelvic floor. We also worked on flexibility, balance, coordination, deep abdominal breathing and relaxation. Everything we worked on for 9 months definitely paid off. Dan personalizes his program based on your body and your needs. I appreciate him constantly researching and coming to our sessions with notes, diagrams and specific techniques that tailors to my specific needs. I highly recommend any ladies that are pregnant to start pilates today!! read more
