My 3 stars is a combo review and I'd go 3 1/2 if I could but I can't. :-) My instructor was…read moreKelsie and I have 5 stars for her. I am not a fan of the space itself. It's kinda cramped and there are always multiple trainers and clients there, usually privates with some duets, and of course that means the instructors are constantly talking to tell the clients what to do. And yes this is normal, BUT the acoustics are terrible so the room -- it's just one room -- is always loud. Which can make it difficult to hear one's instructor. Which is frustrating. They have two Cadillacs, which is fine, but for some unknown reason they decided to place them right next to one another instead of on opposite sides of the room. So very often you hear the instructor who's NOT talking to you better than the one who IS.

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 was shocked and honestly pretty offended, I don't think I look like I was about to rob the place or leer at her students I'm pretty sure I just look like someone who's interested in doing Pilates...

Body by Emilee: I'd never done Pilates (or really any…read moreorganized exercise) until I started with Emilee 5 years ago. Since then I have had classes with other instructors, but I haven't liked any of them quite as much as I like working with Emilee. She is a great trainer, watching every move, changing exercises to suit your needs and moods. Some days she pushes you hard enough to be sore the next day, others are more focused on working the really deep core. You never get too much into a routine--always pushing different muscles in different ways. I discovered just how effective Emilee was at crafting bodies when I found myself in a contest at a pub--who could hold the stein of beer at arms length the longest. I assumed I would be hopeless. I was as surprised as any when I outlasted all these big muscular dudes! I'd built core and back muscles to balance and support my arms. Huh! I also gained half an inch after doing Pilates for a few years--I stand straight, which I had never done previously. Thank you Emilee. Emilee is wonderful fun, with an infectious personality. She makes workouts fun and I love Pilates, but I would not have become a devotee without Emilee as a trainer.

We were lucky to find Emilee, who has been trained by the top scoliosis teacher in the country. We immediately felt welcomed and encouraged. The class was challenging yet Emilee was helpful in guiding each participant through the poses, checking for correct posture and positioning. I am not a yogi but by the end of the hour I felt amazingly stretched and open. What's more, she inspired my daughter to continue yoga and pilates at home. Emilee made quite an impression on us both with her knowledge and enthusiasm. I am only sorry we don't live in Santa Barbara to take advantage of her classes.
