I use yelp a lot, but rarely write reviews. So if I write one I really mean it & want to share with others. Straight up ...this studio can change your life! Joseph Pilates has a famous quote: "In 10 sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 you will see the difference, and in 30 you'll have a whole new body." This couldn't me more true of Sunset Beach Pilates thanks to Carli & her team of incredible instructors. I've been an avid fitness enthusiast for years having done every type of exercise under the sun. From running, yoga, spin, HIIT, etc... But Pilates has truly been my go-to for that long/lean physique. It stretches you in ways you never thought possible (in more ways than one). You gain a deeper mind-body connection & become stronger from the "inside out". Also, in times like these I have to add just how impressed I am with the cleanliness of the studio. My only hesitation in writing this review is that the classes will fill up and I won't get in!!! But truly - go here & you won't regret it. read more

This studio has changed my life - I was stuck in the same workout routine and I couldn't find change in my body until I started Pilates over a year ago. Sunset Beach Pilates was the first and only studio I've tried and now my expectations are set and I don't know if I'll ever be able to go anywhere else ;) The best part is how knowledgeable the instructors are about the human body - the cues and descriptions on how to work certain muscles and access specific areas of your body are priceless and not something I could do on my own - it's like a massage for your muscles with an insanely good sweat and workout! Cardio with Carli is my favorite class but even in the foundations class I leave sweating and challenged. Thank you for creating such an epic space for our community, Carli! read more

I have never loved a work out more! Carli has such a unique twist on Pilates that not only gives you an incredible workout, but spiritually connects you to your body. Her understanding of the inner workings of the way our bodies are woven together is like magic. I have done a lot of different workouts over the years and none of them really seemed to change the way my body looked or felt in any real way. I thought that maybe I just had one of those bodies that couldn't transform. However, Carli has proven me wrong, she works your body out from the inside out, creating deep change and transformation that has made me feel good in my body for maybe one of the first times in my life. Long story short, I can't recommend it enough. read more

Sunset Beach Pilates has been a highlight of my move to Oahu. I've been doing reformer pilates for years prior to moving here this winter and the classes here are next level. Every class is so affective and I feel stronger than I ever have. I love how every class I take is different. All the instructors are great. Most of the classes i take are With Carli and I love her energy. All the instructors all are very knowledgeable and are so good. The cardio and burn out classes are my favorite. They are challenging in a way i really appreciate afterwards. I love that there are only 4 reformers in the studio. I always get helpful cues and adjustments. Also the musics always changed up in a way that really enhances the experience. There is something about the energy that's empowering and inspiring. I've been consistently going since my move here and am absolutely obsessed! read more

If you have heard a friend say Pilates isn't a "workout", she hasn't found the right Pilates studio. SBP is my weekly sanctuary for body and mind alignment. After 4 years the workouts are never the same. The instructors care about each individual entering this studio. I could gush about this studio forever, Pilates changed my life and I am so grateful for this space on the north shore of Oahu! read more

I watched Carli's passion grow from her back bedroom with her first reformer into two reformers. Then watched a garage transform into a beautiful studio practically overnight. The vision had become reality. I use her videos from Florida now but they've always teleported me into her space and her passion for mind and body health. Carli you are the best at dealing with grandma bodies and our joint issues!!! Love you! read more

Hands down, the best workouts I've ever done. And- I run marathons! I know hard workouts! Pilates at SBP has completely changed my approach to exercise. I'm no longer logging endless miles that are hard on my joints. I'm building muscle in places i didn't even know i had muscle. All of the instructors are fabulous. They know my strengths & weaknesses and push me exactly as much as I need to be pushed. I'm totally hooked, can't get enough! read more

Maybe if you get Carli your experience would be different. I was really hoping to start a routine of private lessons to address several personal objectives I had that I felt Pilates could really support me in achieving. This was my first class and a private. I had requested Carli per a recommendation and the very specific needs I wanted addressed, which is clear from the reviews and word of mouth she is a great instructor. But she pushed me off on to another instructor only to be replaced again by another instructor at the last minute. If the quality of the lesson was good, this would have been fine. However, it was clear the information in the form I filled out wasn't read in addition the instructor didn't bother to introduce herself let alone talk with me in the beginning about my goals, expectations, experience, objectives, etc... The private class felt like I was in a class with 10 other people. It wasn't personal and it was clearly just a regular class routine, not customized to my needs or objectives (obviously because she had no clue and didn't care to know). It was very similar to group lessons I've experience in gyms, the instructor didn't even look me in the eyes when talking at me. My lesson started late. The prior class was late to finished, but the replacement instructor showed up late - so either way it would've started late. Had this been the only issue, then I wouldn't be writing this feedback. However, then I waited while the replacement and Carli to have unrelated small talk while ignoring my presence. In addition to starting late, the next private student arrived early and was obviously annoyed by our class still going. She was allowed to pace around the classroom during the final 10min of mine... which paying for a private lesson this was extremely uncomfortable. Especially when she began to comment on my workout and I tried to give the teacher some thoughts on my experience... which was minimal because either she didn't get it or didn't care. Between the late start and being cut on time, I only received a 40-45min lesson with the last 10min being paced around by the next student. At the end I was hoping to get a few takeaway notes I could start to practice daily at home to help with the issues I was trying to address and be ready for a next lesson. But well... you can see a trend here... this didn't happen nor was there even a moment to discuss. On top of this, there was zero follow-up from Sunset Beach Pilates on my experience to allow me to give feedback privately. So here I am writing a public review. Other observations: 1. Their online booking portal is confusing and extremely difficult to navigate when trying to simply book a lesson. You have toggle between screens, if you can find them, to see what you are actually signing up for (example appointment with time on one screen while the instructor availability is on another screen). It's also very unclear if you are getting any of the videos they are suggesting to you? Still didn't understand after paying. 2. In-consistency in quality of instructors, I assume. At least per the word of mouth information I received vs. my experience. Perhaps internal training is possibly needed. 3. They should have buffer times in-between classes, this would've solved two of my issues above. It seems like maybe they are complacent. Perhaps they have more than enough students at this time and do not need or have space for additional members or students. If you want an impersonal experience, I suggest looking into cheaper options elsewhere. read more
