I love SWEAT HB - have been working out here for many years. The instructors are top notch. Great instruction, creative class movements, etc., and highly qualified/credentialed (OMG I hear some other places allow teachers to instruct after a super short training. YIKES!). I feel safe and cared for by all instructors. Additionally, I have been working through a knee issues for nearly two years and these instructors are excellent with modifications, etc., still ensuring that I am safe AND get a great workout. The equipment is excellent and well maintained - they have the traditional and amazing Pilates reformers, Pilates chairs, towers, etc. that allow us to get a total body workout and never get bored with either a particular class or teacher. One of my favorite classes is the Powerplate circuit class - AMAZING. A fantastic workout that flies by and has helped me gain strength, endurance, and flexibility. The schedule is also very accommodating - early morning to late evening. All of the class members are considerate and friendly as well. I never feel the need to "dress up" and I never feel judged. Overall, I think that Sweat HB is the best choice for high quality workouts (from gentle to intense!!) that fit any schedule and any fitness level. read more

I switched to SweatHB from a studio chain a month ago, and honestly I can't be happier. It's a no frill, well equipped studio in a bright, airy space. The classes are tough, and each instructor has their own teaching style. I break a sweat in every.single.class. I feel like I've toned quite a bit since joining this studio, as opposed to wasting almost 2 years elsewhere. I regret not joining this studio earlier. Trina, also the owner, is very helpful, responsive and kind. I only wish there were more evening classes, especially on Friday! read more

Great facility and amazing instructors who care about your experience. They are helpful and make sure that you are doing it correctly. Love this place! read more

I've never taken a Pilates class before and I'm so glad I chose to take my first classes here! I've done some different classes and I definitely will keep on coming back. The instructors are super kind and will make you work and feel the burn. It was kinda tricky finding how to get to the studio, it's located on the second floor on top of the pizza store. The stairs are next to the barbershop! I had no clue where to find the stairs for the first class but besides from that, great location and great instructors:) read more

I signed up online and it kept giving me the only option to sign up for a year so I did. Then I found out we're moving. I contacted the owner Trina and she helped me. She was very ethical and I appreciate her helping me a lot. Thank you Trina! read more

Great instructors, super clean, bright airy studio, fresh ocean breezes. Highly recommend! Sam, Holly, Dan, Allisa & Taylor have been my main instructors and they are all highly qualified. read more

This is the best studio ever... The classes are tough and the instructors are so kind and fun. I have been going for 8 months and I can't imagine not having it in my life.... So thankful read more

SweatHB is the premier studio for Pilates. Not all Pilates studios are the same. It's the OG where all of the instructors are highly trained and highly certified very competent and knowledgeable not only about Pilates but movement, physicality and the body overall. A wealth of knowledge and experience in all of the classes. In a world where everything is just fast and not quality, someone can get a certificate to teach Pilates in a three day workshop! I wouldn't trust my fitness and the structure of my body to places like that! Getting a "good deal" somewhere else at one of the chain Pilates, places, isn't always what's best for your well-being! Love SweatHB! read more

SweatHB is the best studio in OC. I love the welcoming teachers and intense classes. The owner Trina, is a master in her craft. She really fine tuned the Pilates experience. I go every day! Definitely recommend. read more

I've been coming to this studio for a few months now. I've done reformer Pilates before via ClassPass, but it was never a consistent practice. I found SweatHB through Groupon, and I got hooked. The studio, which is upstairs, has a welcoming vibe. The classes are maxed at 9 people (or less depending on the class) so the instructor is able to walk around and course correct if needed. I have worked out with several instructors. Trina, Lisa, and Kristi are some of my usual go-to's. There are classes early and late, which helps accommodate schedules. There are also several variety of classes (i love the power plate!) and you learn which instructors are harder or easier. Because the studio is fairly tight-knit, the instructors will learn who you are, and it gives you a sense of belonging! All-in-all, I look forward to my classes and am happy to have found a local studio as opposed to a chain to support. read more

Amazing studio for people of all skill levels! I am a beginner and every class has been very comfortable and welcoming. All the instructors are so helpful and kind. Highly recommend if you're interested in starting pilates!! read more

I've been struggling with a bad hip and lower back pain for over a year now as I used to run and train for half marathons regularly. The pain has left me immobile at times with chronic pain. I've never practiced pilates but I read it could be very helpful for rehabilitation so these are impressions from a newbie! I took advantage of the introductory offer of 3 classes at a disconted rate with really no idea what to expect. I read that you should show up 15 min prior to class but there is no sitting area outside of the class so I actually walked in on my first class not realizing I was interrupting it. LOL. The instructor was very nice about it though. Best to wait outside until the class finishes which is right on the hour. Also SweatHB is upstairs and there is a stairwell just to the right of the barber shop/dominos pizza to get up there. I wish I had known that my first visit. Anywhoo! The classes have been great for reducing my pain levels and building my muscle back up. I have done a couple of different varieties and started with gentle reformer which is excellent for stretch and mobility. I've also had classes that were much more instense and similar to weight lifting that left me sweating! Good stuff. The environment is very welcoming and they are small classes so everyone gets extra attention on form and corrections. Instructors have always been very patient with me as I really have no backround on pilates. I was worried the environment would feel judgemental as I had this idea pilates was just for young skinny fit people. That really isnt' the case at all. It's all ages and all levels and everyone is welcome. I'm about 10 weeks in at just 1x a week and the exercise has been just what I needed to get my body back on track. I won't be doing any long distance running anytime soon but it's so great not to live with chronic pain on a daily basis and gain back alot of my mobility. I've been able to replicate alot of the movements at home as well with just a mat that's also contributed to healing. And it's definitely served as a catalyst as I'm back to spin classes and hope to be out mountain biking again soon with minimal discomfort. I would love to add more classes but the truth is I live a bit far in Aliso Viejo and am just in that area one time a week to take my step daughter to her practice but would absoultely recommend trying this out if you are batteling any pain related to sports injuries. And this is a great studio for newbies. I also recommend booking at least a week in advance if possible. My evening class seems to fill up fairly quickly but I'm often added from the waitlist when I forget to book the week prior. read more

The only way I seem to feel when it u to simplify my experience since trying SWEATHB... just life changing Beginning Pilates as an experiment when I was in a low place with lots going on, and SWEATHB, Trina and Sam (whom I now spend nearly 10 hours with) as I have fallen in love with Pilates which is not something I would ever say or feel, but for the past 6-7 months I have taken classes religiously. Starting with 5-6 days a week, to some double classes alternating with my heavy lifting days The benefits that stand out and have personally changed how I live by giving me a new type of mental and physical strength (those are only 3 large milestones; amongst MANY gains I received) It forced me to step back from my stubborn attachment to my weekly weight lifting routines and heavy lifting focus and perform every individual exercise with control, intention and focus What I thought I couldn't do, SWEATHB encouraged me and I've fallen in love with the exercise, the energy it produces, and the overall concept of strengthening muscle groups to supplement other forms of exercise, or this as a Main form The smaller sized, yet cozy studio (very organized and clean; go Trina!) also creates a place where one is almost forced to interact with those you may have never met SweatHB is a very challenging Pilates studio BUT, I highly recommend attempting a couple with different style instructors and you'll probably will find how amazing and fulfilling it has been for me. A place you can workout, socialize, surround oneself with positive energy and almost call it a second home/safe place dedicated to stimulate, challenge and produce improvements for every INDIVIDUAL client It's a home with strong women support; including the amazing Trina Sam Price is hard and will push you, but her style is what I need and she's the one I rearrange my schedule to be able to attend her classes TRY SWEATHB!! Nothing to lose! Not your thing- aleast you tried... but if you discover a new passion (like me).. it can really alter your life physically and mentally read more

LOVE this Pilates studio. All the instructors are so good and I love the classes. They are so helpful if you are new also. I've been loving it! Try for 2-3 days a week to really get the benefits! read more

I love SweatHB! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this studio. I've been doing Pilates for 18 years and at this studio for the past eight. I have visited many studios in Huntington Beach throughout the years. This one is by far my favorite! It's fun and highly effective. There are so many classes to choose from for beginner to advanced. The instructors switch up the classes daily so you never-ever get bored. Even if a move is a bit above your comfort level or you've suffered a previous injury the instructors will help you modify to a comfortable but effective move. The parking is a breeze too. I don't review a lot but this place deserves one. read more

Instructors are great. They watch your form to make sure you're doing an exercise correctly and give you a full body work out. Also very personable and professional. Studio is clean and airy. read more

SweatHB is the hidden gem of Pilates in HB!! I started going here a little less than a month ago because my husband and I each bought the Groupon for 8 classes and once I've used up my classes I will definitely be purchasing a membership! I absolutely adore Dan!! Even as a newbie I never feel lost or confused in his classes. If you're wanting to try Pilates for the first time DO IT!! Dan is the man!! read more

Don't go here if you've never done pilates. It was really awful. I felt really unwelcome and was lost the whole time. I've never taken a workout class where I wanted to leave in the middle. I'm bummed I paid for multiple classes up front. I'd never go back! read more

I love this studio great instructors offer a variety of class types and levels so you never get bored, convenient class times and small enough studio size to allow for guidance and adjustments when necessary. Can't recommend it enough! read more

This is a long over due review. I first met Trina almost 4 years ago. I had just had my second child and needed to get my core back after my c-section. Trina and all the instructors have played a huge role in getting my pre baby body back. The instructors are knowledgeable, energetic, and very form specific! Something that I've found a lot of studios lack. I made the mistake of joining Equinox and took a break from Sweat HB. Huge mistake... my core took a hit and I started to have back issues from the classes at Equinox. I've been back now for a couple months and can not thank all the trainers enough for all they've done for me. I do privates with Trina and try to take her group classes as much as I can! Michelle and Christina's class are also amazing and challenging! I highly recommend this place and trust me...your body will thank you! read more

Excellent experience! Gorgeous studio and the views are amazing Trina is the best instructor. She's very in tune with her students and always ready with a modification if needed. Best studio! read more

I've had major shoulder surgery to both shoulders in the last 5 years. It's been tough trying to stay motivated to get back in shape with the boring routine the rehab specialists told me to do. It wasn't working! My goal is to get back surfing at 60 years old. My wife has been going to Sweat HB at least 3 times a week for years and she is in great shape! I finally wised up and joined her. Best decision i've made in a while! This studio and the instructors i've had so far have been perfect for me. I'm quite sure I look pretty awkward as an out of shape new-be, but no one has made me feel that way - just the opposite! So stoked I jumped on board with Sweat HB! Thank you Trina! read more

Trina is an amazing teacher and truly cares about her students. The spirit of the studio is special and so empowering & healing. I highly recommend SweatHB!! read more

This place is horrible. I had to give my cc info to get my groupon. I did everything that the owner (Trina) told me to do for corresponding so that I wasn't "dinged" on my cc. I let the studio know at least 8 hrs before I wasn't able to attend class. I was charged anyway. I'm getting my bank involved at this point. The instructors are very nice. read more

I can't say enough about how much I love this place & Trina!!!! Seriously life changing! I've done multiple trainers at big gyms & I've never seen results like I do here at sweat hb. Pilates has really changed my life and thanks to Trina for being so kind and welcoming! I notice such a difference in my muscles after Pilates. & Trina & her team are the best around!!! Wouldn't go anywhere else and would definitely recommend this place to all levels of fitness even for beginners!! read more

This review is way over due. I bought a groupon about a year ago to try pilates for the 1st time. I fell on love with pilates but not this place or the owner. The place was a total turn off, I guess I live on the wrong side of HB...Lol The owner and her instructors are all snooty. One instructor did nothing but talk about herself and her vacations during each class. They would rather talk about themselves during class rather than help you with your form. I would rather pay more for quality teaching at Club Pilates where I go now than to listen to some snooty ass bitches talk about themselves rather than help me learn the correct way!! read more

Trina and her studio have been an amazing part of our community for years. I have enjoyed her classes, as well as many of my friends and neighbors. I do not like to see people try to ruin a business' reputation, when their own actions create natural consequences. Some of the reviews left here are inappropriate, as these reviewers have not followed the stated policies on Sweat HB's website. Trina makes it very clear what happens if you need to terminate your membership early, or if you need to cancel a class. Life happens and its unfortunate if you can no longer attend a fitness class, however the business shouldn't suffer for it, especially when they have clearly laid out guidelines and policies. Trina works hard and provides a great place to practice Pilates, she has earned her 5 starts. Its not fair that one rotten apple can spoil the bunch. Anyway.....don't let the whiners deter you from trying Sweat HB. Its a great place and so is Trina. read more

Great studio with all the pilates equipment you need and knowledgable teachers. I've been coming here for private lessons with Cristina (awesome teacher) for chronic joint/muscle issues and it has helped quite a bit. Highly recommended! read more

My aunt bought a Groupon for eight classes for both of us. It was my first time doing pilates, and may I say that I LOVED it!! There are many different instructors and different forms of pilates: reformer, chair, barre, etc. Trina, the owner, also teaches, and her chair class is so fun! I love Dan because he really pinpoints your struggles and even asks if you have any injuries so that you can work on strengthening those areas. I am so grateful that he would take the time to help me out, despite the number of students in the class. These classes help strengthen and tone your muscles. If you are to try pilates, please take Karen's class! I love her energy, teaching style, everything! We took jump board and barre for her 5 am class, and they were my favorite by far. She includes many variations of exercises, and she is good at helping you correct form. She cares about you and will alter the exercise to best suit your circumstance/fitness level. She made waking up at 4 am so much easier. Please take their classes!! read more

Great studio. Clean and tidy. Helpful instructors, at a variety of levels, but they'll modify your routine, if you request it. Start with Dan, he's exceptionally patient with those new to Pilates, but they're all helpful. He teaches an intro class on Saturdays that's perfect for the noob (like I was three months ago). I noticed increased strength and flexibility after just the ten sessions from Groupon. I subsequently signed up for 35 more. The equipment is top-notch. Yes, there are some dudes that go there, but we're greatly outnumbered by fit ladies. BTW, I'm 62. read more

This is the best pilates studio, hands down.!! ! Sweat HB is a boutique pilates studio specializing in reformer classes for anyone. If you are looking for a welcoming environment that caters to everyone from newbies to advanced pilates, look no further. Trina and the team at Sweat HB are the finest in their field. I highly recommend. read more

Trina and her staff have always been so helpful and I really enjoy the workouts. They are challenging but I always feel good when I leave.

I am new to Pilates so I was a little nervous and intimidated walking in to the studio for the first time. I used a Groupon and Trina was extremely helpful and responsive with helping me get an account created so I could start scheduling my classes. So far both instructors have greeted me warmly, knowing I was new and were very helpful during the session. I really love the small intimate feeling of the studio. And so far, the workouts have kicked my butt!! I definitely recommend Sweat HB to anyone who is on the fence about trying Pilates. Super awesome experience so far! read more

Love this place....super friendly staff and instructors and the workout is very challenging but still fun. Very happy I found this place and if you are looking for the perfect workout Sweat HB is the right place;) read more
