I've been here many times now, and I love the intimate setting. The small classes allow for very…read morepersonal instruction. The good instructors are very good (looking at you, Natalie!), and the not so great ones just have a lot to learn. Decent variety of classes, mainly vinyasa flow classes. However, for such a small space with 3 classes a day offered MAX, no classes on the weekend, and a couple of inexperienced instructors... $100/mo for an unlimited membership is quite steep! I've paid $65/mo at other small private studios with more experienced instructors that offer about 8 classes per day! Just food for thought.

I did my certified yoga teacher training here and I've been teaching in SB and Goleta ever since!…read moreIt was one of the best experiences of my life. The training is cozy and intimate, you get a lot of personalized attention, and there is a super supportive vibe. They serve really yummy, healthy snacks & tea too which I loved- I am a total foodie- I even learned how to make some of these recipes from the owner Sue Anne. Both Sue Anne and her husband Jim have mentored and guided me ever since. They helped me get teaching positions literally as soon as I graduated the training. I would highly recommend their training and coming to classes at their studio!

They are totally supportive and encouraging, attentive to individuals, relaxed yet very professional. Highly recommend their teaching.

HORRIBLE!!!!! Worst service ever!!!!! Ditched on the street…read morebefore the lesson ever started! Totally not recommended! The bitch named Lindsey ask for a$50 credit card payment prior to the lesson. The guy she told me will give me the lesson was filthy with a broken filthy board, and when I asked about the suit the Lindsey supposedly told him to get (after she took my size over the phone) was not a women's suit and not my size! He asked me to get into the water without it but I refused and when hopelessly I tried to squeeze myself in a suit that is 3 sizes smaller, it got stuck half way through! I was furious! And I told him that this is not the service I expected for $100. I told him I want to cancel the class, then he got so mad at me and he literally ditch me in the street in a location I'm not familiar with since I'm just a tourist. Tried to call Lindsey a thousand times and she stopped replying. I ended up canceling my credit card and taking the action through my back. DO NOT TRUST these people , The worst service on planet earth!!!! Soooooooooooooo disappointed! I bet they either paid those who wrote good reviews or just made up accounts to write reviews themselves like this very last one "Julie D" posted how good Lindsey is hours ago :( so pathetic....,

I used to go to Pilates and Or in Santa Barbara, and this studio was really challenging, and I was completely exhausted after class, but I'm sure it helped me build a lot of muscle and lose fat.

I enrolled with Club Pilates after having a few private sessions with Kim! I am really happy and…read morepleased to have done this for myself. I've always wanted to try pilates but have been afraid to. Upon having some private sessions with Kim, I have realized that pilates really helps me a lot especially since I have lived quite a sedentary lifestyle due to some health conditions. The great thing about pilates is that it is low impact and I have found a warm and supportive instructor in Kim. Thanks Kim for being helpful and supportive in this health journey of mine! I wish I would have done it sooner. Also, Carolyn, the receptionist is also warm and friendly. Love this location!

Keep in mind that this is a small one-studio business and NOT a gym. There are (I am assuming quite deliberately) NO mirrors. The interior is very plain...no distractions. The music selection is great and rotated regularly. Rachel is a great dancer and is always smiling. The 9am class is primarily an older group and very welcoming to all ages and body types. The cost of classes is a bit more than a gym membership, but Rachel has a great new client special to try it out before committing.

I have tried three other martial arts studios in the SB area and none of them were able to keep him motivated and pumped up to go back each week, even adding classes and trying new classes! My son was never really into achieving his belts, and now he is aiming for his yellow black! He loves it, practices around the house, and even participated in a recital to show his "moves!" Dragon is an amazing teacher for young children and while he teaches them moves, he lets them have fun, laugh, and giggle! He himself is amazing at Kung Fu and an inspiration to these young kids, making them want to come back and try even harder! Vickie, is just sweet beyond words! She is an amazing dancer, and a wonderful person! I am so glad I stumbled upon Sino West because it has just lifted my son to a whole new level and his self esteem has just soared! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The closet dancer inside me was thrilled to get a little taste of the various classes they offer: salsa, zumba, and tai chi. They also offer yoga, ballet, jazz, Chinese dance, kung fu, and even hoops (hula hoops, not basketball)!! The instructors are amazing dancers themselves and were friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They were down to earth and made me feel comfortable enough to free the closet dancer. Sino West has an entire separate suite next door dedicated to their kung fu classes. I'm excited about this new studio! Prices are reasonable, and they offer a wide variety of classes for all ages.
