Raquel is in a league of her own. Best pilates studio in the area. I miss her all the time and wish she would reopen. A true gem!

beware! i'm a single disabled veteran of 2 young children. i paid $500 deposit to raquel, i changed my mind & she refused to refund not 1 penny! needless to say, not happy at all!! don't get ripped off!! read more

Body rituals is unlike any other studio you'll find. They offer yoga classes, Pilates, meditations, and even sound baths! Each instructor is great and has their own unique style. Regardless of the class you take or the instructor you have, it's a guarantee to come out feeling better than when you walked in (or signed in because they also offer online classes)! I really don't have the words to describe the shifts I get from these classes. You really have to come and experience it yourself! read more

Body Rituals Studio - One of their monthly sound baths. - Yoga Near Me - Upland, California

attention to client all classes are srt to no more than 10-12 prople to ensure guidance and support

I found this place in a desperate attempt to find something other than a big gym to work out. After day one I was hooked! The classes are a good mix of fun and challenging and the instructors focus on the right areas where fat builds up and hone right in to blast it right off. I started with the $25 week pass and tried all the classes Body Rituals had to offer. From there I was able to find what did and didn't work for me and signed up officially and be a part of the Body Rituals family. I am always greeted by name and encouraged throughout my workout. Since I'm highly competitive, knowing that I am being watched and cheered on keeps me from wanting to give up! Raquel and her team have made a huge impact in my last 4 weeks of health consciousness and I look forward to seeing what else my body is capable of with their leadership and guidance! read more

Absolutely LOVE Raquel(owner) and the entire crew at Body Rituals. If you want a safe place to completely mold your body, feel empowered and have a group of people that all are completely invested in your journey, this is the place for you. Body rituals is more than just a fitness studio. It is a both body and mind training. It is a community of like minded people that are there to grow with you. Every instructor will push you to places you have not gone before and truly Transform you! This is why a Groupon has lead to 4 years of 3-6 days a week training. Body Rituals is a MUST! read more

I love this little gym for so many reasons. To me, it's a no nonsense kind of a place. You do your work out and you leave. No traffic. No fighting for a parking spot. No signing in. No getting in line. The minute We get started, I begin to feel jazzed and ready to get my sweat on! Raquel's spoken words thorough the work out I find soothing, calming, and a reminder that nothing in life is worth getting worked up over. She knows everyone's name and comes around to adjust poses. I love the cool towels and the back cracking at the end of the class. I would recommend Raquel to anyone who's looking for a quick, amazing workout. read more

Where to even start When you begin searching for a new gym or studio what is it that you're looking for? A great workout that gets you results, right? And this place does that because of all the other amazing things about it make you become consistent. The variety of classes (and so many variations to each type of class), the tranquil and peaceful environment that you are in, the top notch equipment, the friendly and welcoming environment, the many fair pricing options, and the music vibes... you walk in and feel a sense that you found your studio. But that's not even the best part- it's the amazing leaders who guide the classes. Raquel can give you a killer workout and help you sculpt your body like no other.. but that still won't be the best thing you get out of this studio. It's who she is as a person trying to spread peace and happiness and healing far and wide. She truly can help you create mental and emotional shifts even all while giving you a killer workout. This place has changed my life for the better in many ways and I hope to always be a part of it. You will not regret joining body rituals read more

Since I took my first class of yoga with Raquel I haven't found another instructor that can compare. She takes the time to correct your posture which makes a huge difference! The aromatherapy oils she uses at the end of her classes are so relaxing and rejuvenating. I look forward to taking more classes at body rituals in the near future. I hope they open a studio in orange county in the near future. read more

I'm a workout-Groupon bunny. That is, I hop from studio to studio whenever I get a great deal because I absolutely love fitness classes but am on a tight budget (military family, represent! lol). So naturally I was thrilled to get a 10-class deal to this charming new studio in Upland. The place is pretty small (although they've recently expanded), but easily accommodates up to 15 students per classroom without feeling crowded. I appreciate the intimate setting as opposed to classes at commercial gyms where 50 of us would be piled in like sweaty sardines. The smaller class sizes also mean more personalized attention from the instructors, which I thankfully always got being the clumsy beginner that I am. The first class I tried was Hot Pilates. If you are a beginner and clueless like I was, take note: Hot Pilates does not mean "sexy" or "hip/cool" Pilates (I wish I hadn't actually thought this, people). It literally means HOT, they turn on space heaters all over the classroom until it feels like you're working out in a sauna. Needless to say, I lasted 15 minutes before I had to sit out for a breather. One of the staff came and sat with me and helped me get my breathing under control and reassured me so I could jump back into class. I'm really glad they were so supportive because at times like those I feel so embarrassed and out of place (chubby girls, can I get an amen?) that I just want to quit. Well I didn't quit, I kept going until I found a class I loved: Zumba. Zumba on Saturdays with instructor D'marti is the most fun I've had working out in years. There were times when I'd just burst out laughing during a song because I was so euphoric (dancer's high!) and I always left with a giant smile on my face, feeling like a powerhouse for pushing myself that much more. Come to Body Rituals and get empowered. Even when it gets tough, you won't regret it. read more

I've loved the yoga and Barre classes I've taken here. The teachers are all very friendly as are many of the regulars at classes. It's got a great welcoming and small vibe. I appreciate that it's well-rounded with spin, yoga, barre, TRX, HIIT etc without trying to offer too many types of classes. read more

The thing I love about Body Rituals is how friendly and supportive the studio atmosphere is! Healthy habits or new exercise routines can be tough to start but the community here is so positive! The instructors are always helpful and encouraging, even at 6:30am in the morning. Especially love Saturday morning barre and yoga classes, what a great way to start the weekend! Also, I am a fan of planning ahead and I really appreciate how easy it is to sign up for classes online via their website. read more

Been going to Body Rituals for over a year now and I can't say enough good things about this studio! Raquel and all the instructors are absolutely amazing. My absolute favorite class is Spinferno with Sofia!! I don't live in the area but I make the commute from the OC just to take classes at BR. The wide range of classes and times classes are offered work perfect with my hectic work schedule! I couldn't image going to any other studio after finding Body Rituals read more

If this is the correct dance studio I just want to say that Gonzalo is number 1!! He helped us not only learn Salsa step by step, but also with our wedding dance. Rachel was also another team member that coordinated our entire wedding dance. Both worked real hard and even went with us to our venue to practice. Thank you both! Tanya & Joel Marchese read more

I've been going to Body Rituals for about a year now, and I have nothing but good things to say about this studio! I've tried almost all of the classes here, and love them all. My personal favorites are Power Yoga and Barre Pilates. Something that I really value about this studio is the small class sizes and the attention to detail by the instructors. I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to working out, so I really appreciate this! It allows me to properly target the muscle groups that we're working on, and more importantly avoid any potential injuries. I'd highly recommend this studio to anyone, from the most experienced athlete to the couch potato whose just trying to live a healthier life. This place will kick your butt and challenge you physically and mentally, in a good way! read more

I recently to Upland in Augst. Although I formerly did crossfit, I decided to try something different and used Classpass to test out different gyms. Body Rituals was the first gym I tried. After about a month, I quit class pass and got a membership here. I look forward to going to every class. All the teachers are great but I really enjoy Raquel's classes the most. She is an amazing teacher/owner. It is a completely different type of physical and mental strengthening for me. Raquel really mixes it up every class and limits the number of people to really pay attention to each student. She will challenge you. The studio is clean, music is great, and it is very welcoming. I'm so glad I found this gym. read more

Just started back to Body Rituals and the staff really meets your individual needs for accomplishing any goal your have

My friend has been telling me about this place for sometime now but I was always to involved in my own ways to give it a try. I tried it for the first time and loved it!! I have been coming here for 3 months now and I get a great work out every time. Before BodyRituals I was training at home with p90x. I liked working out at home but it got boring after a while. My favorite classes are the Power Pilates and the Hot Yoga classes. They are intense and after every class I know that I pushed myself above and beyond. With the Power classes we utilize weights with high intervals which is amazing for fat burning. Since coming here I have been able to shred more fat quickly. I love the workouts and the instructors are amazing too. They know how to push you to your limit in an empowering way that is positive and uplifting. More than anything, it is like a family and everybody loves fitness like I do. Can't see myself going anywhere else!!! read more

If you have not been into Body-Rituals then you are surely missing out. This places gives you a feeling like no other. The staff is super friendly and the workouts will have your endorphins going crazy. I can't say enough good things about this place. They have Barre, Yoga & Spin too. read more

This is the best pilates/yoga studio in the Inland Empire. The instructors are great and the workouts are challenging. I got addicted after my first class. Come and try it out. S.W. member since October 2012 read more

I came into the Body Rituals Studio about a year and a half ago and it changed my life! The variety of classes, personalized instruction, mental/emotional motivation, and amazing people are all reasons why I love this place and choose it over any gym. Taking classes here changes your mindset of a healthy lifestyle. Trust me in all of these classes, you will see results! Another great thing about the Body Rituals Studio is constantly being surrounded by amazing people (both the instructors and people taking the class). It just makes me even more motivated and empowered! read more

I got into the best shape of my life while coming to Body Rituals. I had never really worked out before but needed to get the baby weight off so I thought I'd give it a shot. I signed up on Groupon and never looked back. I've been coming now for close to 4 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. They have it all here. Spin, yoga, barre, Pilates... I've done them all and LOVED them all! The guides here really care about you and work to get you the best work out ever. I feel like they know just when you need a word of encouragement or motivation to keep you going. Body Rituals for life!! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! Everyone is so friendly and the staff is very helpful during classes. I love that the classes are small and personable, it helps to keep everyone engaged. The energy of the class always matches the workout which I always appreciate. This place made me a lover of spin class which is not an easy thing to be lol. Thank you body rituals for the great work outs! read more

I love this place! I found it through a friend and Raquel and devyn are so awesome. I felt intimidated at first because I've never really done yoga and thought I would look silly, but it's not like that at all. You go at your own pace and these ladies really care if everyone gets a good workout. They seem to be all about balance in your life and it was just what I needed. It feels like something I hope to be a part of for a long time... read more

This is the place to get a workout and personal attention. No big box gyms, large classes or high pressure sale. Worth every penny. You get what you pay for..quality leaders and awesome classes. read more

I don't know where to start. I took the hot yoga class and the environment was really bizarre. I've never been in a yoga studio that used black lights, red rope lighting, colored accent lights and incredibly loud music before. It was like being stuck in a weird late 80's bar with no ventilation or windows. There was a window, but it was covered up. All it needed was a liquor bar and it would be pretty much like a janky dive bar, but with Deepok Chopra blaring in your ears about the power of love. I'm not kidding about the Deepok Chopra part, it was part of the routine. I am still confused about the lighting...black lights in a yoga studio? B U T W H Y? The two stars are for the instructor. She seemed very caring and passionate about her practice. She gave each student special attention and gave the right amount of adjustments. It's really too bad she had to yell over the yoga techno guitar smooth jazz music. There was one thing that the instructor did that I thought wasn't good. At the end of class, when students were on their stomachs resting, she would go to each one and crack their backs, by applying pressure between the shoulder blades. Is she a certified osteopath or chiropractor? If she isn't, she definitely should not be doing this. It's just not safe. Also, the bathroom was very clean, that is included in the two stars. So if you want an obnoxious soundtrack to your club lighting yoga, choose the hot yoga class at this studio. read more

This Zumba class that Jessi teaches is really awesome ^_^ I haven't tried anything else yet but the nice thing is that their packages are created in a "drop in" style so you can go to any class you want. read more

I really like this place! I was introduced to it thru a livingsocial deal and i had my doubts when I walked in. It is a bit bare bones BUT definitely a place where you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you judge it by its cover. I was beyond stoked when they moved to the new studio which is clean and looks really really nice. there are no fancy machines or super fancy equipment. However, what you will find here are extremely knowledgable instructors who push you while making it fun. I love zumba with D'Marti, pilates with Kimberly, and hot yoga with Raquel. These classes are no joke and get ur heart rate up! Highly recommend! read more

The only reason I started attending this studio is bc I purchased a groupon deal late last year... and I am sold!!! Raquel and the rest of the staff, Gonzalo, Kimberly, and Erika are AMAZING!!! After years of wasting my money on gym memberships and treadmills, they have converted me into a life long yoga student! read more

This place is a hidden jewel. If you are searching for a place to learn about yoga or expand on what you already know then this is the place for you. The guides/ leaders are amazing and each with a unique style of teaching. I leave feeling completely grounded and ready to conquer. Body rituals also has a bunch of other classes to try out, I personally love Pilates and Barre pailates. Great vibes, great leaders! read more

I love the small classes and the personal attention. This place keeps me motivated and feeling great about myself. I highly recommend giving it a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

These guys are terrible. Horrible. So why 4 stars? Because I was kidding. Ive avoided writing a review because ive wanted to keep this place a secret, but ill be moving to asia soon, and theyve been so friendly and helpful, i just couldnt hold out anymore. I love body rituals. I come here strictly for yoga. Erika (Rikki?) is excellent, and an amazing instructor, very patient and she definitely has a "yoga voice"z Haha. Racquel is intense. If you want an intense workout, go with her. I always try to avoid her classes , but thats bc for me, yoga is more about stress relief, flexibility, meditation, than it is about building strength and sweating half my body weight off. Gonzalo is the friendly face youll see when you enter and leave. So why minus a star? There never seems to be yoga at hours that work for me, or enough classes. But i get it, its not a dedicated yoga studio. Also, everything seems to have become more flexible, except for my hamstrings. Yeah. I blame them. So don't come here. Its terrible. Its horrible. Run away. Especially from Racquel. read more

I used to be a studio hopper and thought I had found a home studio until I met the owner and staff of Body Rituals. Now I'm there more than I'm at Starbucks! I love that the classes challenge me to push myself, I get an amazing sweaty workout and I honestly feel that in just the last 6 months of my practice (totaling almost 4 years) my body does things she never thought she could. They run great specials pretty often so I'm not spending a ton of $$$$, plus it pays off in the compliments I get from my friends about my shrinking tummy. read more

Intimate studio with well-trained caring, patient, creative instructors. Good variety of classes, from spin to yoga to Pilates and combinations of styles for all levels of fitness/experience. Studio hours range by day from 5:30 am to 9 pm. No two sessions are alike ... creativity abounds. I appreciate the consistency in instructors: they all make a point of knowing participants' names. Owner Raquel is a gifted instructor herself and keeps the studio in excellent condition. Membership packages are well-priced and offer lots of flexibility. Check it out! read more

I like this place very much. A recent discovery. I was invited to go many times from a freind who has been going for years. She swears by it... It's just a quality place. My Favs are the Hot Yoga and Barre Pilates. read more

And almost 3 years later I'm still loving the studio and all it has to offer. I take spin and hot yoga classes on the regular and I look forward to each one of them. Also had the pleasure of working on mind training with Raquel and I can't believe the changes I've seen in my body and mind. All the people are awesome and I would recommend this studio to everyone. It has classes for all needs. I look forward to seeing some new faces as I continue to work on my mind and body. read more

Came here because of a groupon for salsa dancing. Went with my family and had lotsa fun -- instructor was funny and friendly. No stress, no pressure. You don't need to go with a partner -- just go have fun! Interior of the place is not the prettiest, but it does the job. read more

Still loving this Studio!!! Every class is very empowering the energy from all the leaders is amazing!!! This is truly food for our body mind and soul. The Guides have modifications for those if us who have growing to do with no judgements. Theres leaders from all walks of life/ages and we all come together as a community empowering each other. The owner is really down to earth-loving and caring truly a gifted Woman that shares and gives so much of herself to everyone she meets!!! You wont regret trying this studio out! The only problem you wont want to go to any other studio read more

Great prices and quality instruction. I took a meditation class here and loved it. They offer plenty of kinds of classes from Pilates, to yoga, to mediation to even special classes such as burlesque style or salsa! This is the place I recommend anyone to come to. you have such great quality for such a low price. It's a steal. read more

I have been to many studios over the years and have been doing yoga since I was a teenager so I have become choosy with who I like. Body Rituals is by far the best studio I have ever been to. They have a great variety of classes so that anyone can find something that fits their physical needs. all the teachers are very well trained and inspiring.Raquel,the owner, is an awesome teacher, she is:motivating, knowledgeable and challenging. She convinced me that pilates is one of the greatest all around workouts! If she thinks you can do more she will push you to it. Plus she is a really great person inside and out. This will soon become a closed studio which is its own testimony so join ASAP! read more
