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.

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!

I started 2 1/2 years ago because of sciatica and lower back problems, but because of the strengthening exercises I do there, I have not had a problem since.

Body by Emilee: I'd never done Pilates (or really any…read moreorganized exercise) until I started with Emilee 5 years ago. Since then I have had classes with other instructors, but I haven't liked any of them quite as much as I like working with Emilee. She is a great trainer, watching every move, changing exercises to suit your needs and moods. Some days she pushes you hard enough to be sore the next day, others are more focused on working the really deep core. You never get too much into a routine--always pushing different muscles in different ways. I discovered just how effective Emilee was at crafting bodies when I found myself in a contest at a pub--who could hold the stein of beer at arms length the longest. I assumed I would be hopeless. I was as surprised as any when I outlasted all these big muscular dudes! I'd built core and back muscles to balance and support my arms. Huh! I also gained half an inch after doing Pilates for a few years--I stand straight, which I had never done previously. Thank you Emilee. Emilee is wonderful fun, with an infectious personality. She makes workouts fun and I love Pilates, but I would not have become a devotee without Emilee as a trainer.

We were lucky to find Emilee, who has been trained by the top scoliosis teacher in the country. We immediately felt welcomed and encouraged. The class was challenging yet Emilee was helpful in guiding each participant through the poses, checking for correct posture and positioning. I am not a yogi but by the end of the hour I felt amazingly stretched and open. What's more, she inspired my daughter to continue yoga and pilates at home. Emilee made quite an impression on us both with her knowledge and enthusiasm. I am only sorry we don't live in Santa Barbara to take advantage of her classes.

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.
