If you're looking for an incredible reformer Pilates instructor, TRACY FORD is it. She's been teaching for years and it shows in every single class. Tracy is always professional, always welcoming, and I genuinely don't think I've ever seen her without a smile. Her classes are creative and never repetitive -- every session feels fresh, challenging, and thoughtfully put together. Her cueing is seriously perfection (the kind where you feel muscles you didn't even know you had ). She uses real anatomy terms, explains things clearly, and makes sure everyone understands what to do and why. And on top of that, she's hilarious -- her little comments throughout class keep it fun while you're shaking. One of the things I appreciate most is how great she is at modifying for injuries and prenatal clients. She's extremely knowledgeable and makes everyone feel supported without ever making it a big deal. The fact that her classes are always full says it all -- Tracy brings the best energy, the best instruction, and you can tell how much she truly loves Pilates. She puts so much effort into planning each class every week, and it really shows. The owners are so lucky to have her -- and so are the clients. Highly recommend! read more

Even though I am able to take non-reformer pilates elsewhere for free, I was offered a free intro class on Instagram and took advantage of the offer so I could try a reformer. Although they were really big on making sure you have grippy socks (I think they left two VMs about it and texted twice), other than that, it was pretty seamless: I signed up, showed up, and they did not try to sell me on anything. I took the class, and they did a 2 minute speal after, but they let everyone leave when it was over, and there was no pressure to buy a package, which I really appreciated. In sum, the study is very clean, the instructor was very nice, and I really enjoyed the class. If I didn't have access to free pilates, I might be interested. read more

Club Pilates - Pilates Near Me - La Mesa, California

See all

I've been going to the La Mesa & Santee studios for about two years and genuinely love both. Pilates is the first workout I've been able to stick with--great instructors, welcoming staff, and a group setting that keeps me accountable. I've seen real gains in strength and mobility, and classes feel accessible for all ages and experience levels. Highly recommend either location. I've heard great things about almost every instructor, but these are the ones I've taken most and would recommend 10x over: Tracy F. - Warm, funny, and welcoming. I've taken 150+ of her classes and they're always fun, varied, and challenging. She creates a supportive environment, encourages growth, and keeps things fresh each week. Her TRX class is one of my all-time favorites. Anel - My first-ever Pilates instructor and a big reason I stuck with it. She teaches a more classical style and clearly explains form and function, which built my confidence early on. Consistent warmups, always-changing flows, and uplifting energy that carries you through class. Jenni G. - A newer instructor to me and now a weekly favorite. She's super attentive (always remembers my lower back issue), offers great modifications, and gives cues that just click. Her flow and TRX classes are fun, challenging, and set to great music. A great pick for beginners or anyone leveling up. Stacy C. - Somehow both challenging and calming. She has a peaceful, encouraging presence and checks in with everyone during class with gentle corrections and praise. I love how she weaves in anatomy and form education--her classes fill up for a reason. Jade (Front Desk - La Mesa) - Truly deserves a shout-out. She keeps the studio welcoming, remembers everyone by name, celebrates milestones, and handles hiccups during classes with total grace. Her seasonal decorations and positive energy make La Mesa feel special. read more

This is a fantastic place to get into shape. The staff has been very attentive and helpful. Classes have been thorough, motivational and gentle, not jarring. Definitely recommend. read more

Stacy Carlock is it terrific Pilates Instructor. She has a great attitude and the ability to articulate what is necessary for each exercise. With a willingness to help each student perform to the best of their ability, she'll even demonstrate how. Stacy is very encouraging and by the end of the class, you'll feel like a pro! So if you're looking for a great workout, make sure to sign up for one of Stacy's classes! And make it a great day! read more

First off, if you are considering Pilates, you should absolutely try it. If you have injuries, the trained instructors will make accommodations for you. I have seen many different types of folks over the years in all different shapes physically; construction workers with back injuries, people suffering from sciatica, recovering from car accidents, etc. All walks. They will all tell you that Pilates will make your body feel better in very little time. Until recently (end of Oct) I was going 3x a week and felt fantastic, (unfortunately, I am seriously trying to figure out x-ma$ at the moment so Pilates is on hold). Nope, it's not cheap. Unlimited membership last time I checked was $199 a month. BUT this chain (LM, NP, MV) ran a fantastic 20% off special at the beginning of '22 for your first three months for everyone, not just new members. Trust me- if you go to 3 Pilates sessions a week for three months, you will be transformed. I'm not talking just about appearance; your body will move more fluidly and your aches will lighten. After only one month without it, I already see my posture starting to suffer. (I did purchase a Pilates chair at the Goodwill, but I find the very aggressively coral-orangey thing is best when covered in clothing). The facility itself is well maintained and very convenient with Vons right next door. The shopping center has security onsite which is a very nice perk nowadays. My favorite thing about this studio is one instructor in particular - Stacy Car_____. 5' (if that) of pure joy, skill and muscle. Somehow she could not only reverse my (ahem) occasional bitchy mood but make me LAUGH at myself in the process. I've come across a few people like this in recent years and they are like sunshine for my soul. Oh AND she has an awesome playlist! I miss your energy SC. And my gripey right hip misses your excellent instruction. I miss you saying, "get your shoulders outta your ears and quit doing that weird neck thing!" because I'm pretty sure you were always talking to me. Minus one star for the sound system which is abysmal. You should absolutely call the studio to see if they're offering 20% off specials again for 2023. You will not regret it! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about the trainers here at Club Pilates La Mesa. They ask in the beginning of each class you if their are any physical issues / limitations you maybe dealing with, so they can suggest some changes to the way can still work the areas they are focused on with each movement. Jessica Smith, Madison, Rhonda Kirwan, Stacy Evans, & Tracy Ford keep me motivated to challenge myself with each class I take. The Class is clean and well ventilated. Alexa the front desk admin is always kind, helpful and courteous. She gives you an inviting and comfortable feeling when she greets you as you enter that's a bonus. This Class has strengthen my atrophied leg to almost fully functioning at 95% and I now can walk without a limp which has helped my aching back significantly . Thank God I found this Class! read more

I've been coming here for a few months and every single time I have had a phenomenal workout experience. Everyone is very nice and professional. All the teachers I've had are amazing and passionate. I've had a class with the Jenica consistently and I'm always very impressed and grateful for the dedication, passion and patience she has in helping others while teaching. Another great teacher is Stacy Carlock. She's such a kind, friendly and welcoming teacher. Her classes are great as well. Truly incredible teachers. The studio itself is beautifully clean and well stocked. I love coming to my classes there. Jade at the reception is very helpful and kind. Just an all around a great, unpretentious place to get your Pilates workouts!. Thank you club Pilates!. read more

Have been going here a few years and love Stacy Carlock's classes. The perfect blend of functional training and mind body connection. She mixes it up with chair, mat and reformer so it never gets boring. She also knows how to connect with her students and how to modify for individuals as needed whether they need more or less. read more

All of the teachers and staff are great at La Mesa Club Pilates. You are in for a great work out and you will be glad you are a part of a great club. Thanks Jennica for today's Foundation class! read more

Love this place and the instructors are fabulous! So happy I noticed it one day and called for info!

Stacy Carlock's morning classes are incredible. She is a lively breath of fresh air. Her style just lengthens your body completely. Her cues are spot on, always. And, even though her classes are very fun, lively, and lighthearted, she doesn't miss anything. She notices any corrections that she can assist you with. And, when she gives a cue, she notices if you use it or not. She moves about the students with care and her experience is unrivaled. My bridges and foot work have improved exponentially since I have joined her classes. I really base my week around them. I'm an experienced pilates student, and you don't see this talent often. read more

This studio is great it's got a good amount of space. Stacey Carlock is an excellent instructor she talks you through each move, and explains exactly where/ how you should be feeling each move. Stacey's overall knowledge about pilates, pilates history, and ability to show proper form decreases any risk of injury, and ensures muscle strength in the correct areas. read more

Love love love Club Pilates! All the instructors are amazing and have their own style. Stacy Carlock - I cannot say enough good things about her. She is the reason I signed up and one of my most favorite instructors. She is fun, a ray of sunshine and just as important she knows how to teach. She gives excellent instruction for correct form. I feel like she truly cares. Another fav is Rhonda, super funny and her classes kick my butt. Actually both Stacy and Rhonda's bar classes I really feel the next day! Stacy Evans, Julie and Jennica are also fantastic. They really all are. There is something for everyone, from center and balance when I want a relaxing moment to a bar class when I want a major workout and everything in between. Club Pilates has changed my life. I no longer have knee pain, my hips and back feel so much better and my ankle strength (lots of rolled ankles in the past) is much better. I feel more stable. But it's the mental aspect of it that makes it 1000 times worth it. It's like meditation for me... the one hour a day I focus on only what the instructor is saying. My stress melts away and I feel better all around. Highly recommend! read more

Love this pilates studio, and all the instructors are so informative and inspiring, especially Stacy Carlock. Great instructor with a wealth of knowledge in Pilates. She shares her expertise in every class, uplifts and encourages. Thank you! read more

Stacy Carlock, excellent instructor! Knowledgeable about Pilates. Always provides modifications and knows what your practice is capable of and always provides other options when you know your capabilities. I take her classes 3 times a week. read more

I went to my first "Intro to Pilates" tonight. The teacher was so great! I really enjoyed learning about different moves and I felt a workout even in this "intro" class. While I would describe myself as pretty fit overall, I felt things working that I haven't felt in months (mostly due to not being able to workout with COVID restrictions.) My point is - I will be back! read more

I can't believe they want $35 a class. A year more than$2600. Who is so stuid to be a member this place. I can't believe i am buying the place or going to work out. Very very expensive... read more

Best membership and reward you can give yourself is health. The instructors are amazing at Club Pilates but Rhonda Kirwan is amazing. She has awesome classes and works with the students to make it fun and personalized to their fitness level. She is an expert in physical fitness and sports physiology . Her FIT and Cardio classes are phenomenal. Club Pilates La Mesa, Santee, Mission Valley and North Park are all owned by the same owner and they truly are incredible. Want to feel better go to Club Pilates!! read more

Thank you Amanda for my early morning session. I enjoyed the one on one session and showing me techniques. Club Pilates is a clean establishment and a great workout. I enjoyed every moment of it. I want to jump into the more advance class but I know I need to start at the beginning which is best for me. There's different types of workouts so visit their website for the most updated information/classes to sign up for. Definitely a great workout to build strength. I will return and eventually make my way to the more advance classes. read more

So enjoy coming to Pilates here, all the instructors and staff are so sweet! Have been going regularly now since January and have seen such a difference in my body and my strength. Last week I rolled my ankle and so I went back this week and was able to do the level 1 class with no problems. My instructor, Tess was awesome about making sure I was doing okay and not hurting my sprained ankle! That's was so great about Pilates, it is a great workout and also a great place for recovering from injuries! Pilate for Life! read more

I love this studio. The plus very close to my home very professional staff, i love how each instructor changes it up and asks if their is something that we want to work on. i love the boose ball they work my butt off. i love this place read more

Club Pilates - Reformer - Pilates Near Me - La Mesa, California

See all

I love Club Pilates in La Mesa! It is so clean and it is managed so efficiently. I joined approximately one year ago. I have a sedentary job and a two hour per day commute. These classes have helped me with my tension and keeping me flexible. The instructors are so helpful in assisting with correct form and modifications as needed. Tess is great hands on and very pleasant. I would like to send out a special "Shout Out" to Esmeralda!!! I LOVE Her high energy and enthusiasm!! She even makes me smile during some of the difficult movements! Lisa and Crystal are great managers and always very helpful. I highly recommend this Pilates studio. Debbie C. read more

I found this place on a Groupon deal so I bought the 5 class deal. I am new to Pilates but I have thoroughly enjoyed the classes I have attended so far, it has been very challenging even at the level 1 Reformer classes. If you're a newbie like me I highly recommend not pushing yourself and jumping straight in to a level 2 or the Cardio class even if you are fit and go to the gym because let me tell ya that's what I did and I was sore for 4 days after so it is better to start at 1 and get a feel for it before you go balls out. The studio is very intimate and there are up to 11 people at a time in the classes but i prefer smaller classes so you can get that one on one with the instructor if you need it. There is a great app that you can download called MINDBODY connect where you can view the schedule for upcoming classes and with a simple click schedule classes there are other features as well but you get the point. read more

Dear Club Pilates, Thank you for making my Tuesday and Thursday evenings so awesome. Thank you as well for being such a rocking studio (clean, spacious, amazing teachers, easy parking). My thighs, my glutes, my abs (they are in there somewhere) and my wallet thank you. Love, Anna read more

Thanks to Club Pilates (specifically La Mesa) I look forward to working out! I've been going for a few weeks now and I feel great! I run regularly but I needed a little more oomph to keep my fitness on the up and up. My gym membership left me bored and unmotivated, but Club Pilates pushes me to better myself on each visit. The classes are small enough to be monitored by the instructor and they're always available to correct your position. This place is so great and I love all of the instructors - my new favorite place! read more

A wonderful pilates studio - clean, with beautiful equipment and lovely instructors. I try to go to as many different instructors as I can and while they all are different, they've all impressed me with their commitment to giving a good Pilates session. At this point, I favor classes from Jemima because of her infectious enthusiasm and great Aussie slang. And did I mention the clean bathroom with nice handsoap? I'm hooked. read more

Great lil studio! I have been a fan of the Club Pilates studios for years. I have been to Mission Gorge, North Park, Bankers Hill and now La Mesa. The studios are all independently owned and operated but for the most part they are all very similar. Instructors are awesome! I see a few familiar faces from one studio to the next! Classes are great and each instructor really helps to improve your technique and manage changes for injuries. It's a great full body workout. I love sculpt cardio it really kicks my butt and the classes are always different so you never get bored. I definitely would recommend trying a class you will be hooked! read more

I have been going to The La Mesa location now for several weeks. I love the frequency and variety of all the classes, and the ability to pay as I go- flexibilty is the key to me being successful when sticking to an exercise regime. I have become addicted to Cardio Sculpt, as it serves my need to want to sweat. With that, if you have a chance to take Joe's Cardio Sculpt class, you are in for a real treat!!! He takes the additional time to talk you through each movement, remind you what is important about each move and why. His positive energy is contagious and when I leave the studio, I feel like a much better version of myself. Thank you, Club Pilates, La Mesa. You are changing my life, one session at a time, and I LOVE it!!!!!!!!! read more

I am so happy to have found this studio! This place is great compared to others in San Diego. They have it all, reformers, Barre, mats, balls, weights...etc, very clean facilities and the instructors are wonderful. They are quick to correct you or lend encouragement in such a compassionate way! I love Pilates and what it has done for me and I am so happy to be coming here!! Pros: Clean studio Friendly and knowledgeable instructors who keep you motivated Plenty of equipment available Great energy and atmosphere Plenty of locations I highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a great Pilates experience!! read more

All levels of fitness will love this studio! I have taken private and mat classes before, and this studio is much less expensive. Don't be scared off if you haven't taken Pilates before. Just tell your instructor; they are very nice. The studio is bright, with all new equipment. Classes max out at 11, so you aren't lost in the crowd. If you have never done Pilates before, try the stretching class first. It moves at a nice slow pave that helps you get acquainted with the reformer and springs. Be sure to sign up online for classes, as there isn't a receptionist or anyone dealing with $. Right now, the 1st class is only $5, so how can you go wrong? They also give a nice break to teachers, nurses, and the military. How sweet! I actually joined Yelp just to write this review. I am a teacher on spring break this week, and have already attended 2 classes, with another scheduled for Friday. Try it yourself and see. What have you got to lose besides a few pounds and a lot of tension and stress? Works wonders. read more

Love Club Pilates and the instructors!! They are all so good and treat you like family. I was very nervous to go to my first class all alone. After the first class I loved they way I felt. I signed up for my membership and now go four times a week. I have met really nice people that attend the classes and feel like I have lots of friends that work out with me. I try very hard to regularly go to the same instructors classes, Tracy, Tess, Katelyn, and Stacy. The front desk Lisa, is also the best, very friendly and helpful with any question. I would totally recommend signing up for club Pilates it is the best!! read more

I just attended my first Pilates class ever, and absolutely loved it!! Kaicie was a great instructor and skillfully but discreetly helped me figure out the different movements while keeping the class going. She helped me feel comfortable and welcomed. The facilities are clean and well maintained and I enjoyed it so much that I've already signed up for a few more classes, and I think a membership is in my future! If you're on the fence about trying, just do it! Great workout, enjoyable atmosphere, and friendly classmates :) UPDATE: I've been going the past 6 weeks and am addicted!! All of the instructors are awesome and I am never disappointed with the classes. They are always fun and challenging and I've seen a major improvement already in my posture, confidence, and fitness. I love Club Pilates! read more

I really appreciate the instructors at this location! All excellent but special shout out to Stacey who shows extra patience and enthusiasm. Great cheerleader to pushing you to your personal best. read more

A girlfriend and I attended today, for the first time. We loved it! Great workout and the instructor was super nice. I loved that they are offering a groupon right now! We were both able to get 5 classes for only $39! That's a steal.... I'm sure we'll continue well past our 5 sessions. If you're on the fence, get the groupon (before they run out), and try it today!!! :-) read more

My very 1st Pilates class was Thursday August 1st with Tammy. I was very anxious and nervous because I'm not physically fit. Tammy was AWESOME!! She made me feel welcome and comfortable.... I went back again on Sunday and I'm going again tonight.... I'm glad I started.... 40 something trying to get fit.... read more

Honestly the best studios I've ever been to. I'm addicted to Club Pilates!!! The quality of their equipment is stellar, the studios are always so clean and smell like lavender...ahhhh!! I have taken all of their classes they have to offer (Level 1, 2, 2.5, and Cardio Sculpt) and really can't pick a favorite. The nice thing is that they offer so many classes per day at multiple locations around SD, that you can take any level of class that is fitting your needs for that day. All of the instructors are so attentive and helpful which really makes you feel like they are getting to know you and wanting you to improve your practice over time. I'm so happy that I found Club Pilates and look forward to many classes to come. I would and have recommended them to so many people so they can experience the wonderfulness that CP has so offer! read more

Went to my very first Pilates class on 4/13/12 under instructor Jemima North. She was great! Jemima was very good & descriptive with the work out and even paid attention to individuals. I was well aware of my gluts and calves the next day. Make sure to take a class with her! The facilities were very clean and the equipment was in great condition. I would definitely recommend taking a Pilates class here. read more

I love doing pilates at this studio. I have been attending classes here for the last 4yrs and compared to previous studios I've been to this is my favorite. The instructors are excellent. I recommend this studio to everyone. read more

I absolutely love Club Pilates!! Instructors are awesome, and it is nice to see a variety of classes back on the schedule.
