I have wanted to try Pilates for a long time. My sister reserved an intro class at the studio. It was amazing !!!! We had a great time and even joined for classes! Thank you Anna and Grace for your attentiveness, you made us feel like we could do anything !!! Highly recommend read more

I was literally the first person to review Club Pilates UTC on Yelp over 3 years ago, and I gave them 5 stars. That's what makes writing this now even more disappointing. As of the end of this month, I will no longer be a member, and here's why. First, hygiene is a serious issue. The studio is consistently unclean and only gets properly addressed after repeated complaints. There are ant and roach traps in multiple corners, which speaks for itself. Over the years, I've raised concerns--politely and alongside other members--and only then does anything get cleaned. It shouldn't take persistent complaints to maintain basic standards. Look up at the vents and you'll see heavy dust buildup on the AC filters. This has been brought to management's attention for months, yet nothing changes. Meanwhile, the floors often have visible hair and dust, and mirrors are covered in fingerprints. When they do clean, they use overpowering, chemical-heavy products, which feels counterproductive in a space meant for health and wellness. Instructor quality has also declined significantly. Several excellent instructors have left, and the replacements have been inconsistent at best. In one class, I was introduced to a move that felt unsafe. When I asked about it afterward, the instructor said she found it on TikTok. That alone was alarming. There have also been repeated instances of instructors teaching while visibly sick. I've personally had to leave class multiple times to avoid getting ill. Only after strong complaints did this change--and now it's replaced with last-minute cancellations. On one occasion, I was already in the parking lot when I received a cancellation call. No credit was offered, despite the inconvenience. The turnover rate of instructors over the past year has been extremely high, and it shows in the declining quality of classes. Cancellations are often announced at the last minute, sometimes right at the scheduled start time, with no clear accountability or compensation. The final issue that pushed me to cancel was being charged a $15 no-show fee--despite never having missed a class. When I reached out, I initially received no response. After multiple attempts, I was connected with someone identified as a VP, who claimed I had been refunded 5-6 times in the past six months. When I asked for specifics, only three dates were provided over my 3 years as a member, and the rest were never clarified. That lack of transparency was unacceptable. I ultimately contacted my credit card company to dispute the charge. After I explained the situation, they were surprised at how it had been handled and agreed the charge was erroneous. The fee was refunded, and they indicated they would follow up with Club Pilates directly. If a business is willing to lose a long-term customer over a $15 charge--and handle it this poorly--that says a lot. It's a shame it came to this. At this point, it's clear that member experience is not a priority. Between the cleanliness issues, inconsistent instruction, poor communication, and questionable billing practices, I can no longer justify staying. There are many well-run studios out there. If you're considering this one, I recommend taking a close look at the environment, the instructors, and how concerns are handled before committing. read more

Tried the intro class and signed up for a membership! Jocelyn & Sarah were great and I look forward to trying various classes! I work nearby so it is very convenient and I love that it is at UTC so parking is not a problem and there are lots of places for food, snacks, coffee, boba and groceries. read more

Jocelyn was the instructor for the intro class. She was rocking it. She let our class know that we did an intermediate level plank which is unheard of. I would love to go to this location but I can't commit since I live an hour away from this studio. But If you're close to this location I would suggest for you to try it out and give this place a chance. I went with a few friends and we had a great time. And the girl at the front desk I think her name was Sarah. She was amazing! They have a room with 12 Pilates machines and it was cool to see the different exercises and equipments too. I definitely woke up sore on my legs and back the next day. That means the Pilates stretches do wonders. read more

Welcome Heeju as an instructor. You are going to be great and we're happy to have you at the club. You cue well and your classes are great.

I have a membership here that allows me to attend four times per month. I chose to get a membership at this pilates studio because it is in a nice part of Irvine, and they seem to have quite a variety of exercises so that every class does not feel the same. I was originally only going to sign up for three months, but a year has gone by. read more

Great Pilates instructors, great workout, great music and people. One of my favorite places to start the morning. read more

Club Pilates - Everyday is a good day for Pilates. - Pilates Near Me - Irvine, California

Had a great Pilates class with Katie DaSilva. She really worked us on the reformer. Music was good and not to loud.

Great instructors who push you just the right amount. Great front desk staff who are eager to help with membership questions. Great and comfortable facilities with up-to-date and well-maintained equipment. Super convenient location, particularly if you are a UCI student or staff member. Easy parking. What's not to love? Run, don't walk, to join! Can't run anymore? Me either. My joints won't take it, at least not right now. But the amount of flexibility and core strength I've gained in just a few months gives me hope that I might be able to get back into running shape in the future. read more

Very welcoming pilates studio I have been coming to for a few years. Friendly and attentive instructors and easy parking.

I just joined & am really enjoying the classes. The instructors are helpful and make the workouts fun as well as invigorating! #pilatesbingo #ClubPilatesIrvineUTC read more

I've been going to UTC Club Pilates since they opened almost 4 years ago. I love the workouts and the instructors. My body feels so much better than it did when I started, even though I'm 4 years older and have always been physically active. Try it! You'll like it! read more

I've been coming here since September and I love it! I've gone to most instructors classes and they're all great! I mainly go to Jocelyn. She's very attentive to each of us and very encouraging. The staff here are also very nice and get to know everyone. I started with no experience and it's very accessible regardless of fitness level. I've seen a difference and improvement of my abilities in just a few months. I highly recommend checking them out! read more

It's a well organized club. It's been my second year there and I love it. I am able to schedule all classes I wish. I've taken classes with many different instructors and they all are great. read more

I absolutely love Club Pilates UTC. I've been going for almost two years, and I'm consistently impressed by the high quality of the instructors and the rigor of the classes. I travel frequently for work and visit other Club Pilates studios across the country, but UTC truly feels like home. Thais deserves special recognition--she was my very first Pilates instructor ever and has been incredibly patient, supportive, and encouraging from the start. She has been so helpful in teaching me Pilates fundamentals, improving my form, and modifying movements to safely accommodate my knee issues. Her guidance has truly made me love coming to Club Pilates and feel confident in my practice. Every instructor at UTC is caring and deeply knowledgeable. Jocelyn always checks in on me during class, and I absolutely love her Center & Balance classes--she has really elevated the overall instruction at UTC through her leadership. I also enjoy Chasyn's classes for her clear, precise instruction, while Jordan brings a fun, energetic vibe to every session. Strong, thoughtful, and supportive instructors across the board. Thank you all for creating such a welcoming, high-quality experience! read more

I've been going to Club Pilates for a few months. The instructors are fantastic, each with their own style that keeps things fresh and challenging. Jocelyn is a fav--super upbeat and friendly. Thais, on the other hand, brings a slightly more strict and stern approach, which really pushes the class to work hard and stay focused. I appreciate having that balance between the two styles. I joined after taking an intro class with Korbi Kay. I also recently had Zoe as a sub, and she was fantastic! High energy, very friendly, and just as motivating as the regular instructors. Jordan at the front desk is amaaazing and so sweet as well. Overall love all of their staff!! One area for improvement: it would be great if classes started on time even if some people are running late. I usually head straight to work after class, so when it starts late and ends late, it adds a bit of stress to my morning routine. I could leave early, but with only 50 minutes per class, I'd rather get the full workout! I understand running late myself at times, so I really appreciate when classes start right on schedule. Overall, Club Pilates has been an incredible experience. If you're thinking about trying Pilates, I highly recommend this studio--it's worth it! read more

Great instructors & good energy everytime I take a class I drive all the way from LA at times, to take classes at this location in Irvine!

My favorite studio ever! Front desk is always welcoming. All instructors are really nice. -Thais is my favorite instructor, she gives a peaceful vibe, she knows all the burns you need and she is a great leader for you on your workout journey. -Jordan is so sweet!!! She always been helping me to break out from my comfort zone and try new things. She knows what she's doing and she made the classes so fun. -Kaitlyn is gentle and kind. She always makes me listen to my own body. Her class always feels so relaxed and calm. She made me feel so respected in class. Definitely recommend her! read more

I took an intro class here and it was a fantastic and detailed overview. Because it was an intro class I happened to be the only student in class so I felt as though I really got special attention to my alignment and I really appreciated that! I will say that after taking the intro class they do push the class packages and even call you later to follow up so do your research ahead of time for those conversations. At this time I did not sign up simply because all of the time slots I am able to take are always always waitlisted or full. Doesn't make sense at this time to get with both my and the studios limited availability. Other than that, really appreciated my instructor and the thorough intro and welcome. read more

We love our private classes with Zoe. She is the best. We go to the one on University center. She works on every little muscle in our body.

Was a few minutes late and the front desk receptionist wouldn't let me in. This is the first time being late and she literally won't let me in. I am so disappointed with the service! People have stuff going on, with school/work. I've seen people coming into the class even very late before. read more

Likes: + Friendly, attentive, welcoming instructor. + The workout included rubbing against a massage ball to relax your muscle knots. + Variety of equipment available to accompany your pilates workout. Ample but crowded parking. Bit of a walk. I hope they added a step stool so a short person can hang the yoga mat on the high rack. Update Mar 5: Oh thank you for replying, business owner, but the concern about the high mat rack wasn't for me. It was for my neighbor. I saw she was struggling so I helped her out. read more

I really like club Pilates. Convenient location, friendly staff and great instructors. Jocelyn, Talia and Zoe are my favorites but they are all good! read more

My experience here has been all positive. Jocelyn does a fabulous job of knowing just what my body needs and of adapting to meet my physical challenges. I tried multiple instructors when I moved here 2 years ago and was almost ready to give up finding someone I could trust when I finally found Jocelyn and UTC Club Pilates. This is definitely my place and my person for rigorous instruction. Very friendly, helpful staff. read more

The studio is so clean and stuff are so friendly and knowledgeable the instructors specially Thias and Jaslyn are so helpful and knowledgeable I enjoy to be a part of their class and studio read more

I have been regularly attending the Pilates classes at this location since last July. The professional instructors, friendly staff, and clean environment are consistently well maintained. read more

the best trainers. Thais and Joslyn are the best!!! The front staff when you come in Kara and Anthony are so welcoming!! One of my favorite places to go. read more

I've been coming to Club Pilates UTC for a little over a year and I'm addicted! I'd highly suggest Jocelyn their main instructor- her classes are amazing. She is challenging in the best way possible and always gives a fun class! Every staff member from the front desk to the instructors are super friendly and welcoming! read more

UNLIMITED MEMBERSHIP FOR THE MONTH, HERE'S THE RUNDOWN: Reformer pilates, more eased in. Good for mobility/toning. 12 spots per class, cop class in advance ( 1 wk). Cancellations less than 12 hr cost $10. If still on waitlist less than 12 hours, don't worry. SIGNING UP/FIRST CLASS: Free intro class (30 min) - name email phone. Booking required. GRIP SOCKS ( $18 at studio) . PRICING: It's not for the broke haha. UCI discount. Over $200 for unlimited, around $95 for 4 classes, pricing differs by studio. CAVEATS: 3 month commitment after first month. 30 day cancellation notice before day ( google form submit). Otherwise you will be billed for next month. ( Only want for August, Cancel Aug 1st, or be billed for Sept later). Freezing is free, just call in but limited on time. Not much explanation on basics ( reformer part/etc.), so know you'll be lost in the first few classes but it's ok. Be aware that sometimes you'll be filmed ( as a class,usually no face) for their social media! CLASSES: Starting off you are limited to reformer 1 classes. Even w/ unlimited they stop u at 3 classes 4x a week ( risk of hypermobility) , but I've never met anyone who went more than one class 4x a week hahaa (the hot girl summer grind was real). STAFF: I wouldn't have signed up if my first interaction wasn't with Jackie (manager). Her patience and bright personality ( customer service queen) def persuaded & made me feel welcomed. I took 70 classes in a month, so I experienced a lot of diff instructors haha. Here's my observation during the month: X Jackie: bright, energetic. The best paced countdowns. Her cardio classes are challenging, because you're always jumping. Naturally talented at instructing. X Stephanie: Owner, subs for instructors. Pilates enthusiast. Asks class what they want to work on & personally adjust all equipment. X Aryn: very consistent ( leg, glute bridge, posture). Challenging due to lots of auditory cues for posture. Calm voice and nice tempo. X Kimberly: motherly vibe. Lots of variety w/ barre/mobility inspiration. Teaches patiently. Educates on terminology/use of equipment X Aly: couldn't take her much d/t schedule. Good pace, clear, long countdowns & endurance/ab work. Will do exercises with you and incorporate variety. Good vibes X Maryann: seasoned pilates instructor. Gentle demeanor with some humor. It's like you do something basic ( ring), but she'll twist it in a way you've never thought of before. Very supportive & pairs well with Kimberly to advance practice. X Naz: incorporates a lot of new moves but in a fast pace. Lots of glute work. Not recommended for beginner ( can be lost), but solid workout. X Tawnya: wasn't able to take class much. Ab/posture work with some dancer element. Adjusted my form which I have been implementing! X Thais: teaches most of evening / 1.5 alt classes. Classes are always full!! Sorta like an mma queen, but also affirms and makes you feel safe/stable. Always some sort of ab work, and flows have foot work. Consistent curriculum, but can be muscle building ( esp in control/suspend). One thing I noticed is that she works well with people of all ages and never makes anyone feel like they are falling behind. I've seen her work with seniors and kids, and she's always been able to adjust in an affirming manner. If you have some sort of neck or back injury, always tell the instructor & they will modify the exercise for you. I hope this helps you make an informed decision :). Feel free to message me for any additional questions ( wrote over word limit oops lol) , or call the studio. Overall benefits I've noticed with pilates is improved flexibility and stronger core ( never realized I never did a proper plank before qq) . I enjoyed my time here! read more

See all

The instructors are amazing! Kudos to Thais and Jocelyn for kicking my butt the last two days (in the best way)! I couldn't feel more supported and encouraged on my fitness journey! read more

I've been taking classes at this location for almost two years. For the last several months I've been on the unlimited plan--this might give you an idea of how much I enjoy and am challenged by these classes. Every single instructor and staff member is friendly and welcoming, and the clientele is diverse. Ive been doing pilates off and on for 15 years and have never seen such a range of students. This might be my favorite thing about this studio. I take classes with elders, middle-aged moms and dads, and young people. Some are beginners and others look like gymnasts but in class we're all just trying to improve and do our best. It's a very warm and nonjudgey environment. The instructors are all amazing, but I particularly enjoy classes with Jocelyn, Sofia, and Thais. Highly recommend. read more

I've already written a google review, but the Club (and Jocelyn, with whom I've had the most classes) deserves more praise. As a 71 year old guy, I'm not the typical Club Pilates member. But even after just a couple of months I've gotten a lot out of it. All instructors have been great. Jocelyn in particular is patient and guides me through the routines, respecting my limits even as she pushes me to them.... A very positive experience. read more

This studio, specifically Jocelyn with her immense knowledge and patient coaching, has really helped me get stronger.The classes offer a range of options from deep stretching to intense strength training- TRX, bands, discs. The classes are always different but very effective. Also the instructor (and the pilates reformer design) prevent you from getting hurt as you get stronger. This studio is better than any of the others I've tried. Love it. read more

I have only good things to say about this place, actually only great things. When I say that this place has changed my life in more ways than one, I am being serious, even though I have only been going for 4 months!! Within 4 months I have made what feels like real connections with the people there, and I have become a much healthier person!!! The people at the front desk genuinely are so helpful and caring and they make me feel so comfortable and excited to come back and have another chat before or after class!! Kara and Karalyn put smiles on my face every time I see them, they're very real and kind people. And the instructors will support you so good in your journey to get stronger!! They don't hold back, they push you to become a better you! Jordan specifically has changed my outlook on working out as she has made it something so fun and something I look forward to every week (I love you Jordan i'll see you on friday!!) and Sofia and Katie both are so warm and welcoming but damn they will make you hurt, in a good way!! They're all just so knowledgeable and helpful and I don't even have enough good things to say. If you've read this review please give them a shot because if they could change my life they could also change yours!! I also want to give another side note- I don't work out outside of this, and I didn't think I was someone who would love pilates, but I have learned that you don't need a "pilates body" to become stronger and healthier, and pilates is genuinely for everyone. It's a judgement free zone where everyone is working to make their life better!! Please give it a shot because I know it could help anyone. Thank you guys again!! read more

Before coming to Club Pilates at UTC, I checked out many Pilates studios with high Yelp reviews within 10 miles radius and tried out at least three different studios. But I found that they were either too small (4-6 reformers) or too big, and with limited class time and variety. I joined this studio six months ago and am loving it. Everyone on staff is super friendly, greeting me with my first name, and the instructors are always clear with their instructions. The classes are never boring! I see young and more senior people mixing well with the style of training, and this is also the only studio that I see quite a few guys (young and old) working out regularly. I love flow 1.5 and restore 1.5, while my husband loves suspend 1.5. This studio is also great for having classes almost nonstop the whole day seven days a week. The app is easy to use for booking and cancellation. I am really happy that I found this place. read more
