I was introduce to Soul Pilates during 2020 when Simone hosted pandemic-friendly HIIT Pilates in the Park. I loved the way Simone effortlessly leads! She gives clear instructions and demonstrations for each exercise, and as someone recovering from injuries--I need those modifications that she also offers. I joined the studio for a 10-day abs challenge, and I was HOOKED day 1! I experienced that my planks drastically improved through that challenge First of all, the studio is so cute that even the bathroom is pretty! Simone instructs and so effectively pushes you at the same time! I can't wait to come back for more! read more

Soul Pilates - Pilates Near Me - San Jose, California

I haven't loved working out since high school, but Soul Pilates helped me rediscover my love for working out, and seeing my body transform in the ways I work for. I have only taken Simone's classes so far, but she does an incredible job of reminding us to address our body's needs AND our inner voice. I come to Soul Pilates to strengthen myself both mentally and physically. Honestly, Soul Pilates is becoming a one-stop-shop for my self-care needs. I regularly purchase elderberry sea moss that they make themselves. I had never heard of sea moss before, but a quick Google search let me know that there were WAY too many health benefits in sea moss for me NOT to be regularly intaking it. I add it to my coffee, my smoothies, and sometimes even whatever I happen to be cooking for dinner! Soul Pilates also is launching a sea moss face scrub, and ......let me tell you..... it is much better than the brand name face scrubs I've been using. With the sea moss face scrub, I'm not kidding when I say that it feels like it lifts the dirt right out of my pores. My face truly felt lighter and more airy after the first time I used it. I still felt it working even after I had rinsed off the scrub. It brightened my face, evened my skin tone, and tightened it. I have sensitive and irritated skin, and this actually helped to clear it up, smooth it out, and calm it down. (Not to mention, it smells so good!) read more

Since the new ownership of Soul Pilates, I've been so impressed with the location, instructors, and vibe of the whole place. It feels comfortable to exercise there even if you are a straight beginner and cant even make it through the whole class lol but with the kindness of the instructors like Simone I felt at ease and motivated to keep going. Since COVID hit Soul Pilates had to adjust. Honestly, I love that even though we can't physically be in a large class anymore, they offer zoom classes, personal training, and always have fun programs to join. I recently joined the Bake A Booty program and I'm super excited to see my lil booty transform! Anyways I recommend this place to people who want instructors that are warm and welcoming no matter where you're at in your fitness journey! Also affordable pricing for student and personal exercise programs (: read more

First off, Simone is great! She really takes the time to connect to everyone and ensures they are getting the best training. I've never gone to a Pilates class until now and it's been nothing but great with a lot of sweat and progress! You work out muscles you never knew existed compared to other type of workouts. The opportunities of various days and times are amazing for different life schedules. I really like that you can do live zoom classes or come into the studio. I'm also excited to see how this new location comes together since Simone has great ideas. Currently doing a 10 day abs challenge and it's fun, challenging and motivating! Highly recommended! Join now, you won't regret it. read more

I'm going to try to make this short and sweet while being descriptive... bare with me. I had my first child 8 months ago and I just knew in my heart and mind that once the recovery phase of giving birth was over, I would be back active, "getting my body right".... not the case - at all. It actually took much longer than I would even imagine it would take. Fast forward to when I finally decided to take action... Soul Pilates came singing "you got a friend in me" lol. Kidding. But, I did find exactly what I was looking for. Not only was it soooo convenient to do it right in my living room with a newborn amidst the pandemic, but it was the level of commitment that I noticed Simone displayed amongst the guests. She encourages you to take your time and even though she's a Pilates pros, her expectation is for you to do your best, not what you see the next person doing. Judge free zone and that's what I love. I haven't been into the studio physically yet but I do follow on social media and I can feel the vibe of the space. I love SP and once my daughter is of age, she will also be a part of the Soul Family. *In Pilates we trust. read more

love love this place! been going for past three years. Love doing the Pilates and my favorites are the challenges they have! Love the Great Energy of this place! Join now! You won't Regret it read more

I am a first time mom and I am SO grateful for the time that I spend at Soul Pilates. I attend the private group classes and the regular pilates classes. First of all the workouts are amazing. The instructor, Simone, is knowledgeable and she knows different exercises to target specific muscles. You can tell her what muscles you want to target and she'll give you multiple ways to target them. She also gives us modifications. also love that every day is different. In the private group classes, we do different things like go on hikes, strength training and running. The energy at Soul Pilates is also another thing I appreciate it. Here it's not about competing with your peers, it's about focusing on yourself, setting a goal and listening to your body while also pushing yourself to do your best. As a busy mom, I know how difficult it can be to take some time to yourself but for all the moms out there, I highly recommend you do it!! I come out of Soul Pilates feeling energized and relaxed. It is the best decision I have made for both my mental and physical health. read more

This business is a supportive and involved member of the local Willow Glen community. Beyond just physical health, they also support the community by offering sea moss gel which isn't easy to source! Thanks for all you do! read more

I just recently started going to soul Pilates and I completely love it! I love Simone's energy and the studio's environment! Plus I love the way it makes me feel! read more

I'd never given pilates much thought, but I've been going to for a few months and am thoroughly addicted to this studio. Simone's accessible approach and guidance hits just right and Isabella's no nonsense but-kicking classes are the motivation I need some days. Plus there's virtual options for those looking to get their sweat on from home. read more

Soul Pilates - Merchandise (t-shirt) from the studio. - Pilates Near Me - San Jose, California

I loved the class so much!! I went to the 6pm HIIT Pilates class with Simone. Very much recommend!! :)

Soul Pilates is the best pilates studio I have ever joined. The classes are so fun! And the people who work here are so nice! Simone is an incredible instructor and very funny. The class is very challenging, but you can take it at your own pace and every teacher offers modifications. Bomb music, makes me want to hit the club after class. Oh, and none of the instructors touch you. Like, I'm sure they would move your body if you wanted them to... but I hate that! So that's another positive for me. Also one time I was late, and they set up a mat for me :,) I love this studio. read more

I had never taken a pilates class before joining one taught via Zoom by Simone at the start of quarantine; I have to say that I'm so glad I did. I love how Simone shows different "levels" for the same move so that you can accommodate depending on what you feel comfortable doing. I had a set up outside with my mat, laptop, and speaker and had a fun (and sweaty and tiring) workout! At the end of the class, you'll feel pretty sore but energized. And if you're a beginner and are worried about having your camera on during the workout, it's not required to have it on. Simone does say that she recommends having it on so that she'll be able to correct your form to make sure you're exercising safely, but you can leave it off until you're more comfortable. Soul Pilates is also a local, Black/Latino-owned business that supports and helps out other small businesses! Truly a studio that is worth checking out :) read more

Soul Pilates is an inclusive and welcoming studio. Workouts look a little different during COVID but Simone and the crew have made pilates accessible at the park and via zoom. Classes are challenging and dynamic. I'm incredibly thankful to Simone for coaching and providing a supportive environment to learn and grow in my practice. Check out a Soul Pilates! read more

I LOVE this studio. As soon as you walk in there is beautiful art work and encouraging works written on their walls. The staff is very personable and the work outs are truly intense. I especially love Simone and Jessica's classes. They play amazing music and make the atmosphere feel like home. Support your local businesses! read more

If i could add another star I totally would! I came in for one class and was hooked! The vibe is right, the ladies kick your ass in a positive and fun way and man Simone and stephanie will hold you accountable! I love the kickboxing and Pilates so pre covid you could find me doing double days. When covid got wild - the ladies did everything they could to keep us working and healthy - zoom classes were offered then classes with social distancing.. Simone and Stephanie even put together small person group training! Both ladies will check in with you to see where you want to be with your goals and their is no judgment if you answer "I just want to learn to twerk standing on my head "! I love music and the energy that you get when you walk in! The classes are more than just working out - you find some space in your mind when your here and you honestly leave in a better mindset. Take one class and I promise you'll be hooked too! read more

This business is going through change in management and is refusing to refund paying customers despite the fact that there have been no classes for the past 2+ months. The old owner and new owner are playing this circular game of bad communication all while pretending to send refunds by "end of month" back in July. I still haven't received a refund. Careful of these scammers. Update: Simone's response that I was offered "a free unlimited membership" is a blatant lie. I was told via email that I could redeem my classes for one month when they reopen despite the fact that my original purchase was good for 10 classes anytime (Screen shot attached). I did finally receive my refund from Dawn after being screamed at on the phone. "Soul and love." read more

This was my first ever Pilates class and I was instantly hooked! Definitely the best workouts I've ever had. I took all my classes with Simone who was an amazing instructor, especially as a first-timer with no Pilates experience! She makes sure to give you the chance to challenge yourself without pushing it, while creating a super positive environment. Props to the team for being so quick to adapt to the COVID situation by offering online Zoom classes and outside smaller group sessions. Being in quarantine gave me the opportunity to focus on a healthier, more active lifestyle, and SP was the perfect place to start! read more

Been away from soul for a long time . Good to be back. Cute place. Great classes . Will be back for sure.

Don't waste your time coming here. The "owner" Simone is a fraud. Simone was advertising $400 a month to be a personal trainer. I paid $200 deposit and I only seen her once because she would make every excuse that she couldn't make it. I went for my second class and she told me the wifi was down. What does that have to do with working out. Her boyfriend at the time has music planning and look at her with disbelief that she was lying to me. She still had the audacity to request another $200 from me through Venmo. I made the right choice and declined to see her and pay her. She constantly texted me. I supported her throughout covid and donated money to a go fund me account. She said she didn't have money to pay her rent. Fraud! Come to find out she didn't pay her rent for over a year and keep the money for herself. A year later I see her at the gym... Simone calls me fat!!! Wait you are suppose to help woman and inspire them but your going to shame me for being fat. Yes I've had kids what is your excuse? read more

My girlfriend has been going to the Pilates classes here and let me tell you! It has been working I need to start going to Pilates since she is more toned than me! read more

This was first time EVER in a Pilates studio and it was also my first time EVER taking a Pilates class. All I can say is WOW!! One of the best workouts I have ever had. My instructor Sylvia was a rockstar. She kept the mood relaxed but the workout was intense and focused. I will be coming back every week from now on. The owner was so sweet and inviting, she even joined in on the class with us! Great little hidden gem in Willow Glen. I highly recommend them. read more

BEST STUDIO EVER! Where do I even begin?? I am a everyday runner, normally 3-5 miles per day. More recently I've wanted to challenge myself, and gain more muscle to help keep my runs steady (pace, time, etc.) I took a free class offer here at Soul Pilates and ended up buying a 5 class pass immediately after the class ended. The most motivating part about my experience was my instructor, SIMONE! From the structure of the class to the music, I was convinced. Simone is an amazing leader to have and I cannot wait to join in on her classes! I am so excited I found my niche to help build muscles, and cannot wait to tell everyone about this studio. Thank you Simone for kicking my booty! (I needed it) read more

Soul Pilates has been a huge blessing! This is where I go to recharge and revitalize! They are so welcoming and always ensure that I have a good experience. It's more than a place to workout. It's a community that focuses on wellness and health. I always feel like I'm getting my money's worth - you definitely get what you pay for. The icing on top is that they are SAFE! I truly appreciate their safe practices and cleaning procedures. Thank you Soul Pilates!! read more

I was taking classes here pre-covid to get myself in shape before Summer 2020 and let me tell you! All of the instructors here made me feel so comfortable and are all so encouraging. It became a place for me to let out any frustrations and leave feeling at peace with myself. Guuuuurrrrlll I have never sweat more than I did while taking classes at Soul Pilates. I was seeing results so fast!! I highly recommend to any and everyone! read more

I love this place!!! Soul Pilates is truly a gem! The classes are super challenging and will have you feeling the burn! Simone and Stephanie are so encouraging and such sweet souls! I can't say enough good things about this place!!!! Five stars all the way read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Been going since Simone opened. Kickboxing, pilates, and just a great community of people.

First Pilates class with instructor Isabella! She made my first experience great. She explained the movements very well and was very motivating! It's intimidating coming to any type of workout group class for your first time but she made the overall experience very comfortable. Overall the workout was great lots of abs, butt, and leg work. Definitely will be coming back! read more

I took the 9am with Cat. Super cute studio. It was my first time taking a pilates class. Cat was great! Really friendly and positive! High energy and tough workout. I got my butt kicked- literally! :) I'll definitely be back. Awesome way to start your Sunday. Thanks Cat! read more
