I've been coming to Cirkel Tustin for Athletic Reformer through ClassPass and absolutely love the vibe of this studio! The whole space has such a calm, boho, peaceful vibe... dim lighting, chill light volume music, sometimes relaxing candle scents in the front, and beautiful chandeliers. The Tustin location is very spacious, two rows of reformers and tons of room to really stretch and breathe. The reformers are Rialto reformers, where you lift the top to adjust the springs and rings. They're a little older, but it can add to the charm. Every instructor brings great variety to class, which keeps classes interesting and refreshing with something new to look forward to. Sometimes we use sticks for balance, balls for abs, loops for core and leg work, and sometimes dumbbells too, so it really feels like a full-body workout every time. They do count slowly during movements for that deep burn. The instructors are also attentive about form and always ask beforehand if anyone has injuries, which is helpful for me and my knee for modifications. Little cubbies under the benches for shoes and phones. Plenty of parking overall, just be mindful of the green 30-minute parking spots; there's more parking behind the buildings. read more

I dropped in for a reformer class and definitely got a good workout, but the vibe wasn't quite what I usually look for. The studio is much larger than your typical boutique spot, which gives it a more commercial feel. The instructor was nice and proactive about offering help throughout the session. However, because the class size is large, you lose that personalized, small-group attention. I also noticed the equipment was looking a bit run down and could probably use some maintenance. It was a solid challenge physically, but if you prefer a more intimate environment, this might feel a bit too busy. Good for a sweat, but I personally prefer a smaller studio setting. Come early because it's in a plaza with many businesses and you may need to park in the back lot. read more

Clean and cozy environment. Came for reformer but saw a room with mats. The class and instructor I had were great! Parking is a bit difficult so come a little early. I like that the classes are on the bigger side because if I'm confused, I can look anywhere to see what everyone else is doing and not feel as awkward lol read more

I have been going to Cirkel for a couple years now and absolutely love it. They have reformer Pilates, Mat Pilates, jump and sculpt, and barre. I love the variety of classes and instructors. Unlike other studios I've been to, Cirkel Tustin feels more community oriented and they really try to support your needs. I have a disability and I am always very grateful when instructors give me modifications. read more

Super cute Pilates studio! The instructor was very encouraging and nice. Really enjoyed the class and definitely got a good work out in. Studio is very clean and there are a decent amount of reformers inside! I used ClassPass to book! Back parking lot can get pretty packed, but I was still able to find a parking spot. read more

The classes and studio environment were fine, but I had a difficult experience regarding membership cancellation and billing transparency. I believed I had signed up for a monthly membership, but later the business claimed there was a longer-term commitment. I requested a signed copy of the agreement and clarification of the cancellation terms multiple times. I think customers should make sure they fully understand the recurring billing, auto-renewal terms, and cancellation policies before signing up. read more

Stopped in for a Pilates class bc my daughter takes a class nearby and it was one of the better studios I've tried. The equipment was clean and well maintained. The instructor was enthusiastic and loved the flow of her workout. Also really appreciated the tiered options she gave us so we could go harder or lighter depending on our needs. It was a 12:30 time frame which was perfect but haven't been back bc they have not offered that time again on Thursday but I'm keeping my eye on the schedule. Highly recommend this studio. read more

I've been a member at CirKel for over 2 years now. There are a variety of classes for anyone, whether you're new to Pilates or a regular. Great instructors that can provide modifications for any injuries and some layer for a more intense workout. Overall, a great studio and community to be a part of. read more

I love CirKel Pilates Studio! I've been visiting this studio since 2021 and have been a member for the last couple of years. The space was recently updated, and the results are absolutely beautiful. The instructors are amazing--so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. They do a great job making you feel comfortable and ensuring you're doing the exercises correctly. Since I started coming here, I've noticed such a difference in my strength and flexibility. There's a great variety of classes, including athletic reformer, barre, jump, and core and stretch. I recently tried the barre class for the first time--something I'd always been too intimidated to try before--and I wish I had done it sooner! It was the perfect balance of cardio and strength training. The schedule is super flexible, so it's easy to find classes that fit into your day. Plus, the overall vibe is so positive and welcoming--everyone is supportive and encouraging. I was never really into group workout classes before because I worried people would judge me if I couldn't keep up. But that's not the case here at all. The instructors are always positive and happy to demonstrate adjustments so everyone feels included read more

I have been a member for years, but to anyone that is looking for a fitness lifestyle surrounded by a friendly, kind community, this is the place for you! I start my day at CirKel 5-7 days a week and it is the best way to get my body moving and put a smile on my face. I'd be lost without it! read more

I've been coming to this studio for a few years now and really enjoy it. The equipment is solid and the studio has a bunch of great instructors. Chloe, Sam S., Lanaya, Jordan, and the owner Kelly are all my favorite instructors. They play great music that keeps you energized and motivated, spend time demonstrating and helping people, and all have great personalities that make class fun. Classes do fill up fairly quick so you should try to book through their app. Their Newport location is also solid, it's just a bit further from me so I tend to go to the Tustin most. If you're looking for a moderate to advanced Pilates spot with great instructors, then look no further! read more

This studio is great for someone who is physically fit with no injuries and is on a budget. The packages are really reasonable. A lot of the instructors (not all) are more interested in getting you a kick butt workout than making sure you're doing things properly so as not to injure yourself. Most of the classes are at a level 2 or 2-3. I have had some good instructors and some not so much. If you're new to Pilates, it's wise to learn the basics like getting on and off the reformer, using a flat back vs neutral spine (especially if you have a back injury) and know your limitations. Private classes are always the best way to go when you're beginning because you can easily hurt yourself if you don't know what you're doing. read more

Cirkel Fitness is a great place for Pilates. They offer a variety of classes and times. Each instructor has their own style of class. Beginner level to advanced, all are welcome. Great sense of community and everyone is so friendly. I have been coming for a year and a half, five times a week and I feel great. read more

I LOVE Cirkel!! Classes are offered at various and convenient times with amazing instructors! Pilates has been life-changing for me and I'm so grateful for an awesome studio like Cirkel! read more

Love this CirKel location! Instructors are so kind and genuinely want you to improve your performance in class. I like that they pay attention and correct your form, if necessary. Class participants are very diverse which makes me feel very comfortable and makes the classes feel very inclusive. I will continue to keep coming back to do classes at this studio! read more

Great instructors and facility! I've become a monthly member and enjoy both the Reformer and Mat classes.

I've taken two instructors here and Dana has been great. I tried advanced jump and sculpt with Samantha Price and I've never experienced such a disinterested and unengaged instructor....ever. There were only FOUR students in class and she stood in the BACK of the class by the check in counter nearly the entire time giving instructions. There was no correcting any form nor demonstrating the move or form. The email back from the owner didn't give me the feeling of confidence and sound like she heard this complaint before. I've had a friend also go there and she expressed the same opinion that Samantha was her least favorite instructor. I Def won't rule out other instructors but this experience made me want to try this place out less unfortunately. read more

Love all the class options and the different schedules throughout the day, the instructors are great as well! Super convenient location and lots of parking read more

I needed to level up my workouts and target muscles I'm not able to hit at my boot camp. I decided to give Cirkel a try. The core and stretch is a great class to take if your body is stiff like mine is. I needed to lengthen my body and stretch my muscles so that I could move around with ease. The class really helped. Unfortunately it's only 50 minutes so I continued stretching at home. The athletic reformer is different from what I'm used too. My main gym is F45. Lots of cardio and strength training. Pilates is a mixture of yoga, strength and stretching. But it's on a platform and I'm lying down. During this session I worked out my legs, core ( it's painful) and some arms. The focus is on form and breathing. It's enjoyable. I'm only able to go once a week. Maybe I'll increase my session overtime. I'm more excited of the results of mixing F45 with Pilates. I'll know more in six months. Let's see what happens. read more

I enjoy taking classes at CirKel. The instructors are always helpful and willing to help.

Took 3 classes and I am hooked ! Love this studio and so happy I got over my fear and came :)

Recently popped my Pilates cherry at Cirkel and feel like a brand new man. Want to give a major shout out to our instructor Jordan for the bomb diggity playlist that had my ears tingling and booty wiggling. Her workout had my glutes on fire but the good kind of fire. Like homemade candied yams fresh out the oven on Thanksgiving day. Chefs kiss. P.S. I heard a rumor that her phenomenal music taste is no coincidence and she's actually secretly DJ Marshmello hiding behind the mask to stay humble and avoid all the paparazzi. Anyway, highly recommend her class. read more

It was my first time here and first time doing Pilates ever.Took a class w Jordan and she was so amazing and accommodating. I was actually about 10 mins late but decided to test our luck and she still accepted us (THANK YOU!!) Class was fun and not too difficult but there were times I was lost besides I just had no idea. She was patient and helped me through some movements and activities. Definitely coming back to this class. Thanks Jordan! read more

I came here with a few of my friends for Pilates and Jordan was amazing. We were all fairly new to the class and she helped us correct our forms multiple times and stayed by our sides to demonstrate. We also walked in 15 mins late so it was already intimidating but she was super nice about it. Even being late, we all broke a sweat and my legs are sore. I would def come back! read more

Cirkel is a wonderful & supportive wellness community! I was brand new to Pilates in Spring 2023, and now I'm going religiously at least three times per week. The instructors are extremely helpful for beginners and also know how to challenge the more advanced students simultaneously. I'm stronger, more flexible, and I have made great friends because of Cirkel Fitness! read more

I've been a member for a year now, and I'm enjoying it! I've taken different instructors and different classes, and each time I learn something new. The instructors are helpful and are willing to answer your questions or concerns. It's a great community and I look forward to my "me" time each class. read more

Reformer classes can get repetitive but not at Cirkel! Each instructor brings their unique style which makes the classes fun and engaging. They also offer barre, sculpt, and core classes for that additional challenge. I really enjoy the classes and it's a very supportive environment for anyone wanting to try pilates! read more

I continue to come to Cirkel 5-6 times a week! All of the instructors are knowledgeable and the classes are never repetitive. The workout is wonderful, the community is amazing, and I truly enjoy coming every day. Cirkel pilates does not disappoint! read more

I found this place on classpass and loved it so much that I decided to do their unlimited morning plan! It's cheaper than most pilates studios and the girls who train you for the group exercises are the nicest. I've been going here consistently since last October and I've seen such an improvement in my mind and body. I definitely will continue to always take my pilates classes here! read more

I normally avoid gyms and fitness classes. I tried this organization because my friend enjoyed it and I wanted to hold myself more accountable. I love it. Everyone is friendly, the classes are small, the app is easy to use, teachers are knowledgeable and helpful. I think I will be going long term. Highly recommend! read more

Kelly was amazing. This was only my second Pilates class ever and she was extremely helpful. She came up to me multiple times when I was doing the movements wrong to help and also make sure I was protecting my wrists and knees. She even offered multiple modifications. I definitely recommend coming here and doing a class with Kelly if you're a beginner. She also was great for the advanced people I saw in class as well, providing them with ways to make it more challenging. read more

I just took my first ever Pilates class here with Kelly and it was wonderful. She was an excellent instructor and created a welcoming environment. She gave necessary pointers and guided us throughout the session. I got a really good workout in and am excited to go back! read more

I've been doing Pilates at Cirkel for over a year now and I am consistently, deeply impressed by their staff. Each instructor conducts uniquely challenging classes; I'm always excited to work out. The space is bright and doesn't get too hot, the equipment is well maintained, and every instructor takes care to make sure reformers are wiped down between each class. When I took my first class I was nervous, but was welcomed with open arms and encouraged to work at my own pace. As I learn and practice more, instructors are engaged in presenting new challenges and helping me perfect my form. Booking your group classes, paying your bills, and canceling when necessary is easy and painless. Dori, Kelly, and all of the instructors are always more than happy to answer any and all questions. Overall, I highly recommend this studio! read more

I usually never write reviews but Jordan deserves a shout out. I've been to a few studios and haven't quite found an instructor who i feel entirely comfortable with. I went to Jordan's class for the first time and was blown away by her kindness and willingness to help. She encouraged us to go outside of our comfort zones but never made it feel forceful or unsafe. I'm not a Pilates pro and often need some adjustments so this was a huge help! The music was great and it was all around my top rated class yet! I will be recommending her to everyone i know :) read more

At the end of November I decided to start doing Pilates again after not doing it for 12+years. My plan was to try different. Pilates studios in the area to see which one worked the best for me, but I didn't need to look any further CirKel Fitness was a perfect fit for me. Each instructor has their own unique and effective way of teaching the class to all levels. Each class I take is a great workout and I'm so glad that I found a studio with welcoming instructors and fellow students. read more

I'm pretty new to pilates and this class didn't specify what level so its assumed all levels are welcomed. The class started late too. The instructor did not create a welcoming atmosphere but she did the exact opposite. 10 minutes into the class, the instructor had a very condescending tone and didn't seem to want us there. She asked me in a very rude tone after seeing me struggle with a movement "so what pilates have you done?" in front of the entire class and scolded me/my friend multiple times. There's a difference between correcting someone and condescending someone, this instructor was extremely condescending. She also had no boundaries, my friend who doesn't have extreme flexibility wasn't moving her leg up as high- the instructor yanked her foot up in the air with such force it looked so disturbing and definitely made my friend uncomfortable. She also went extremely fast with the movements and scolded me for moving my foot in the wrong direction. She said goodbye/thank you to everyone but us when we were leaving the studio. If you are a newbie/just want a nice instructor, avoid this studio at all costs. I felt very insecure and wanted to leave 10 minutes in because of how disrespectful the instructor was. I've never experienced this before in a workout class and I'm in awe at her behavior. I am very disappointed with this studios instructor. I've been to pilates classes and definitely am very new but I never felt singled out/scared/frustrated in a class. read more

Best little Pilates studio ever! So happy to find this lovely studio almost 2 years ago now, and I feel like they are truly my family . Can't say enough about the very high standard of instruction here, and the thought, care and quality that is behind everything they do. Thanks so much for making such a difference in my overall health and fitness!!!!! 5 stars read more

Love working out at this pilates studio! All the instructors are vey attentive and helpful and the workouts are always fun and definitely kick my ass & abs with a sore so goooood the next day! I especially love taking Dori's and Kelly's classes, they are just so friendly and helpful to me! read more

The studio is so cute and is very clean. All the instructors I've had have been excellent. They have a great app that you can book your appointments through and manage your payments. I'm so happy I stumbled upon this place. read more

This is a nice studio and I enjoyed the class. But the owner, Kelly, has zero personality and comes across as kind of bitchy and rude. It's perplexing when you own a small business, that you wouldn't be a bit more conscious of the impression you give to clients. read more
