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.

I love Simpatico. I tried a private Pilates lesson for the first time with Mindy Horwitz (owner of…read moreSimpatico) and have been a client now for about 7 months. Now, I have always worked out, and stayed in good shape. I naturally have a very boyish figure (straight up and down, no curves). After doing Pilates at Simpatico and really learning how to use the correct muscles, I have to say that for the first time ever I HAVE A WAIST!!! No other type of exercise program has gotten me the results I've achieved at Simpatico. Thank you Mindy! Simpatico is a wonderfully clean, calm, nurturing studio. The staff and other instructors ROCK! The Will Power & Grace classes are also amazing - its a nice way to really sweat and burn calories and use Pilates-esc graceful movements!!!! If you do Pilates at all, I highly recommend checking out Simpatico Pilates and Gryotonic Studio in Santa Barbara, CA!!!!

I was shocked and honestly pretty offended, I don't think I look like I was about to rob the place or leer at her students I'm pretty sure I just look like someone who's interested in doing Pilates... DEFINITELY won't be attempting to go back! If you're in the market for megaformers I'd recommend fit Buddha instead. They treat you like family not like a nuisance. ZERO stars for customer service.... But it won't let me give zero stars. As for the actual class I wouldn't know because I was instructed to "go away"

Fit Buddha changed my life, seriously! I had not worked out for over ten years when I started…read morebecause I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012. I underwent a bilateral mastectomy, and went through another 10 (yes 10) reconstructive surgeries over the course of two years and topped that off with spinal fusion 4 years ago. I had just turned sixty and honestly felt I was forever doomed to a weak, shapeless body. I was shy and embarrassed. But from the moment I walked into Fit Buddha, everything shifted. The space was welcoming, the instructors were warm and encouraging, and the energy was pure empowerment. They met me exactly where I was--physically and emotionally--and helped me build strength I thought I'd lost forever. Slowly, class by class, I began to feel muscles I hadn't felt in years waking up again. I started standing taller, moving with more confidence, and, dare I say it, feeling powerful. This isn't just a workout--it's a healing journey wrapped in sweat and trembling muscles. The Lagree method is no joke (your glutes will write you angry letters), but it's also deeply transformative. I am stronger, leaner, and more connected to my body than I ever was in my 30s or 40s. And the best part? I now look forward to movement. I'm no longer working out to punish my body--I'm showing up to honor it. To anyone who feels like their best days are behind them, or that they're too far gone to make a change--please hear me: you are not. Fit Buddha helped me reclaim my strength, my confidence, and my joy. And for that, I will be forever grateful. So thank you Marcus, Ava and all of your amazing instructors!

Lena is an amazing instructor! I highly recommend her. I go here for private sessions and she makes…read moreme feel so comfortable as a beginner in pilates. 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. I also really like how each time we do a different routine. She also focuses on the muscles/areas that you want to target. For me, it's my pelvic floor muscles. If you're looking for a new pilates studio, this is the one!
