loved the space!
Jamilee G.

I'm more than happy to support a pilates studio that is Asian and woman-owned. The environment is inclusive, friendly, and welcoming. The studio itself is intimate and you feel comfortable the second you walk in. They have a variety of classes for all levels on a daily basis. I'd definitely recommend this studio for anyone who is looking for a positive Pilates experience.

I LOVE this studio in Fountain Valley. Be sure to book their classes through their website or ClassPass (no walk ins). They have a variety of different types of classes for all needs and experience levels, so make sure to choose the one that's best for you. Every instructor I've ever had is amazing and challenges you in a good way. You can find them on IG @zen.pilates_

Cute studio

I absolutely loved Zen Pilates with Katie! She took the time to correct my form, which I really appreciate so many instructors at other studios don't bother, and it makes such a difference. I'd totally sign up regularly if I lived closer, but I'll definitely be dropping in again anytime I'm in the area.

I love this studio and the owners are very sweet! All the classes I've been to have been beginner friendly with helpful instructors. It is a new studio so it's not too big and classes can fill up quickly on the mindbody app. They have a free first class you can trial and select a membership from there. This studio is a perfect location near my work and they offer classes by the hour so there is a good variety! I like how they have items in the restroom such as hairties and feminine products. It's also very clean since we are given towlettes to clean the reformers afterward. Overall i'm loving my experience here so far and would highly recommend!

Beautiful large arched mirrors on every wall of the studio with ambiance lighting!

I can't say enough good things about Kor and its incredible team. From day one they've been…read moreattentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping every client progress safely and confidently. They take the time to correct form, explain movements, and tailor exercises so you feel challenged and supported. I also really appreciate that all of Kor's instructors are trained and certified through highly reputable, internationally recognized programs such as BASI and Balanced Body. Their training and professionalism truly show in the quality of instruction and the attention to proper alignment and injury prevention. The community here is just as special -- the owners, Rebecca and Paul, are welcoming and genuinely care about everyone who attends Kor, and the other attendees are kind, encouraging, and supportive. It never feels intimidating, which makes it easy to stay consistent. After consistently attending both small group classes and private sessions with Tania and Lara, I've noticed a huge improvement in my flexibility and core strength -- movements that used to feel impossible now feel natural. As a bonus, I've also experienced steady weight loss, better posture, and fewer everyday aches. I especially appreciate the late evening (7:30pm!) classes offered during the workweek, which make it possible to fit fitness into a busy schedule without stress from my long commute. The studio itself is clean, positive, and motivating, but what really sets it apart is the instructors' expertise and encouragement. They make every session productive and enjoyable, whether you're brand new to Pilates or experienced. Highly recommend to anyone looking to feel stronger, move better, and actually enjoy working out!

They are passionate, caring, and attentive to every detail. Their intentional approach ensures every movement has purpose, which really helps me get the most out of each class in a meaningful and beneficial way. I also recommend KOR because it is a small business. I've taken classes at corporate studios, and while they may be good, KOR emphasizes quality over quantity, and you feel the personal difference right away. The individualized attention, supportive environment, and thoughtful instruction really makes this studio exceptional! I highly recommend KOR. It's good for both mind and body!

Took a Reform x Strength class via Class Pass to try out this new studio, as I was really looking…read moreinto different studios to consider for a "home" studio. The flow and class structure itself was good, and the instructor was good too. This was the first studio I've been to where you're assigned a reformer to use for the duration of the class, and I got assigned the reformer with absolutely no mirrors at all: None. I couldn't even see myself in the reflection of other mirrors. For my first time here, this made a terrible first impression. Luckily, I'm pretty good with my body awareness for coaching queues, and have experience with a reformer, but if you're a visual learner, and it's your first time trying pilates, or you're still not comfortable with it, it would have been very hard to keep up with the class. I'd suggest either adding mirrors to this area, or getting rid of this reformer altogether. Paying the same price as others for a sub-par experience is just not how you want customers to feel. The whole point of Pilates is to be aware of your movement and control: how can you do this, if you can't even see yourself? Even the instructor said I was doing good for having no mirrors, since "it's very hard to do without mirrors". Lastly, the platform on this reformer squeaked SO much. I feel so SO self conscious and bad whenever it would make a sound to the point where I stopped the workout altogether because I felt like I was detracting from others' experience: again, not being able to even complete a workout isn't what you want the customer's experience to be like. Overall, I would not recommend this studio based on my first experience. There's lots of other studios who made me feel like my money would be worth spending there, but not this one.

I love this location because of the convenience, intimacy of the class, ease of parking, and proximity to home. In addition, as someone who has a variable schedule, this studio I've found has the most availability for classes. However, getting to trial classes at some of the other locations (Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley), there is only one con of taking workout classes here: the mirror set up! While I was taking the class, I was in a place where I couldn't see myself in the mirror and look at my form which was unfortunate. My instructor Alexa was kind enough to give me and several others who were in the middle of mirrors form corrections throughout the class. Otherwise, this would get 5 stars from me!

Before class started, she went around to each person asking how they were, seeing what modifications they needed, and explained the reformer and class thoroughly. During the class, she communicated very detailed and was really helpful in demonstrating the different sets and techniques. After class, she went around to every person asking how the class was for them. I really appreciated how present and engaged she was with everyone! The studio was clean, cozy, and well equipped. It had a lot of reformers with towers and had all the tools needed for the workout. I did the a** and abs workout and it was great. It definitely pushed me and I just know i'm going to feel sore tomorrow! Extras- Parking is great! Right outside the studio. They are soooo welcoming as you come in! There's a shelf to put your belongings, a water station, and a bathroom. Thank you again! See you again soon :)

Studio X in Irvine is a great and friendly studio! Every time I've walked in to check-in for class,…read morethe staff has been welcoming and kind, which really makes a difference in your overall experience. If it's your first time doing reformer Pilates or using a reformer machine, I highly recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early so the instructor can walk you through the machine and how everything works. It makes you feel so much more comfortable going into class. I've come here through ClassPass and have had a good experience. The instructors are knowledgeable, and I really appreciate that they ask before class how you're feeling physically and whether you have any injuries or limitations. That level of attentiveness shows they genuinely care about their clients. The studio is located in Sky Park, and I'd suggest getting there a bit early because parking can sometimes get packed. The space itself is very clean, and I love that they provide wipes after your session so you can wipe down your equipment. Overall, a solid studio with friendly instructors and a welcoming environment.

The instructor was super friendly, helpful, and encouraging. This is the most spacious studio I've been to so far in OC. Parking was easy too. I did have an issue with my reformer. The spring changes aren't hooks like most other machines. They're switches and mine got stuck on a heavy spring even though it looked like it was off. It's hard to tell because it's a switch. The reformers do look new and well maintained

The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and encouraging -- they each bring something unique to their classes while maintaining a consistently high standard of instruction. What makes this place so special, though, is the community. It's a warm, welcoming environment full of strong, inspiring women who uplift one another. There's no ego or intimidation -- just a shared commitment to growth, strength, and self-care. Thanks to the consistent guidance and care from the instructors, my body has completely transformed. I feel stronger, more aligned, and more confident than ever before. I can't recommend this studio enough -- whether you're new to Pilates or have been practicing for years, you'll find something truly special here.
