Going through some things with my back, shouIder, and losing some flexibility (thank you perimenopause). I saw an ad on IG and signed up. I took an introductory class with Stephanie and was hooked! Given my schedule, I signed up for 4 classes/month. I'm 12 classes in and starting to feel pretty good! It has become a stress reliever after a crazy day at work, and I REALLY look forward to the classes. The class size is small so you don't feel like you're just a number. The instructors check in with each person to see how they're doing and their condition, help guide you through the exercises, use equipment properly and safely, modify movements as needed,and have you working out to fun music! I'm at Level 1.0 but I feel like every time I go, there's always something new. I also love the fact that you don't have to feel self-conscious or awkward being there. They have a diversity of people in class of all shapes, sizes, and ages who are all at different stages of their fitness journey. Give this place a try! read more

So Martha the director of CP, canceled the 9 remaining classes I had purchased because I posted this review of my experience with the studio. No refund or no transfer of classes was done. I paid for services they did not honor per their agreement. This club does not value customer service, in any capacity. The first class I took with the lead instructor was not great. I being a beginner needed some guidance and the instructor was not helpful in any capacity. When I requested help, I got an eye roll & I was made to feel like I was a nuisance. Moving forward to booking additional classes as time progressed every class I attempted to book was always full . Granted it is a smaller studio and the parking is also very limiting which is also discouraging. After working out at other studios and gyms that they are much more accommodating and helpful then Club Pilates. Club Pilates in San Marcos is not worth the money at $30 a class. I also get a much better workout at other studios and gyms that are less. I asked to get a refund on the remainder of my class package I purchased and was told to go to other locations that are not convenient for me. read more

Update 6/5: The studio director stepped in and resolved the issue, and my balance has been confirmed as $0. My last class attendance was Friday, May 8 (I attended only two classes in May), and I had already paid $250 for the month. I appreciate the studio helping me get this corrected, but the cancellation process was still frustrating; my renewal date was 5/22, and although I attempted to call to cancel, I did not receive a clear response until I sent an email. With so many new studios opening up, it also makes me pause and ask whether this membership is priced appropriately for the flexibility and cancellation experience. read more

Club Pilates - Pilates Near Me - San Marcos, California

See all

I started going to Club Pilates recently and I've loved it so far! The studio is clean and conveniently located right off San Marcos Blvd. Make sure to park in the back (make a left at Better Buzz and another at the next stop sign after) to make sure you dont get trapped in the parking lot from the coffee drive through. I've gone to a number of instructors' classes and I've generally liked them all! They all have different styles and means of teaching but still follow classical Pilates principles. Some have more difficult classes even at the same class level than others, so definitely try a few different instructors to see whose style you enjoy best. Some of my favorites are Stephanie, Laura and Thalia. The studio super big which is great when you're in there, but does make it occasionally hard to get into classes. They do have a 12-hour cancellation window prior to class, and spots will typically open up if you waitlist. I haven't had that much trouble getting into afternoon classes. They offer monthly memberships and very occasionally have packages. I personally prefer the class packages for more flexibility but it seems rare that they have them. They dont always advertise it in the app, and I often find out from their instagram. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a Pilates studio! read more

I'm obsessed! I'm so thankful I discovered Pilates-it has truly changed my life! After losing 65+ pounds over the last year, it is the perfect compliment to my new lifestyle. I am stronger and leaner and feel so much more confident and happy! Laura is my go to favorite instructor, but they are all awesome! read more

All the instructors are really nice and ask every day how we each person is feeling before hand I usually do not like working out and Pilates is the first workout I've ever enjoyed and felt really good afterwards I love this studio read more

I love San Marcos Club Pilates. My regular instructors, Jon, Danielle, Calvin, and Laura, are all amazing, and each has their own style, providing variety that benefits different muscle groups, etc. I appreciate how each corrects form to avoid injury and to get the most benefit from the workouts. I definitely notice my strength and flexibility have improved, and I am more toned. My lower back issues have also improved. read more

@Martha Appreciate your response to my last post. I was given no other options. The reformer was making my hip issue worse and my orthopedist said I should not do Pilates anymore. So I was left with about half of my 48 pack with no ability to get any credit. I spoke with Brittney several times and the only thing done was to extend my expiration date out a month but that doesn't help when the MD says stop doing Pilates. read more

Since there are classes available all day, it's great that I can fit training into my work schedule. There are also many instructors, so I can enjoy a variety of different training styles without getting bored. I highly recommend it! read more

My Club Pilates location is the Encinitas location, but decided to check this location out since parking at Encinitas has been an issue for me, especially for afternoon classes. This place has ample parking front and back of the building, though back is preferred so you're not blocked in from the Better Buzz coffee customers. I have been coming to this location for 2 weeks now and I'm loving all the classes. I might convert and make this location my home location since it's been stress-free to find parking and the instructors are very consistent with making you burn your calories and feel toner by the end of the class. I like to push myself a bit more, so I love to hear it when they give us options to take it easy or push myself a bit harder to get a good stretch and/or workout in. I've been coming here 4-5x a week now and I'm starting to feel like a normal person again. read more

Finally carved out time in my schedule to book an intro class. I got blown up with texts right away- and due to my demanding work schedule I asked for all required questions to be in person as the mid-day texting and calls isn't an option for me. Instead of allowing me to answer questions in person, they canceled my reservation. Interesting business decision but okay. read more

Facilities are clean and well maintained. 13 beds and most classes are full. They do offer quite a few classes with different times so that is nice. I would say 8 out of 10 instructors are really good, a couple newer ones that are all over the place. You do have to reserve in advance as the classes fill up and an additional $10 charge if u cancel within 12 hours of the class. Unlimited per month is $229, next plan is $199 for 8 a month. read more

The front desk girl, Andrea, was incredibly informative and kind. I've been wanting to try pilates for a while so I wandered in just to check it out and was welcomed by the front desk girl who answered all my questions about the class, instructors, etc. The environment was clean and calm, I felt very welcome. I left excited to book in the future!! read more

If I could give this place Zero stars I would. Britny at the San Marcos cares ZERO about her clients. I had a recent surgery where I needed to cancel my membership from the unlimited option. I had sent her an email regarding the membership. I had written out multiple times in emails going back and fourth with her telling her to cancel the membership. I filled out the form to cancel last month. This week which there is only a few days left of the month of May. she emails me telling me i owe!!!one week left and haven't been in a month and your charging 210 dollars. She states I did not fill out the form in time which I did and I had send her multiple emails regarding canceling. Bad Service and out for your money. All I wanted was to cancel the unlimited option because I CAN NOT physically use it but yet I will never go back due to her!!!! Horrible customer service skills. Thanks Martha for being extremely NOT UNDERSTANDING. Great job on being professional and showing people how you respond to a customer complaint. read more

It's almost one year since I joined Club Pilates in San Marcos. (You can also access Encinitas and Carlsbad locations.) It has changed my life and health incredibly and I'm so grateful! I was so surprised to find the incredible diversity in ages and bodies and so delighted to feel the constant encouragement that exudes from every corner! I thought I was pretty healthy before and that my physical aches and pains were just part of life. WRONG! Every aspect of my life has improved with Pilates and I can't imagine life without it. Britney, who runs the front desk and admin, is so delightful and the instructors are top notch. I wish I had started sooner, but I'm thrilled at my progress and how I feel every day! read more

Club Pilates San Marcos has become my HAPPY PLACE! I absolutely love coming here and what really makes it special is the wonderful staff and personable instructors. Colette simply just beams of positive energy and goes out of her way to make sure that everyone has a great experience when booking classes or dealing with the membership. She checks in with me weekly to see if I'm happy and if I need any assistance. Colette is an absolute gem! Because of her and Stephanie and Calvin I chose this studio and signed up for the unlimited membership. Stephanie is an instructor who really pours her heart into her classes and connects with everyone. She makes it very welcoming for newcomers and always checks in with everyone to see if they need any modifications due to injuries. I feel very safe and appreciated in her classes and I highly recommend all her classes! Another instructor who really stands out is Calvin! He makes the workouts fun and challenging while making sure that everyone is doing them correctly and in a safe manner. I love how he rotates his workouts so that we are always doing something that feels new and getting a well-balanced workout. Calvin has a wonderful and caring personality that is equally as welcoming and it is easy for any new person to feel like they fit right in in his classes. Thank you everyone at Club Pilates San Marcos for the welcoming community feel that you've created here and the great workouts! read more

I'm fairly new to North County San Diego and was in search of the perfect place to replace my beloved Hot Yoga and Spin studios back in Orange County! I am so glad that I found Club Pilates! Although I always got a great workout/felt incredible after Hot Yoga and Spin, it was always hard to get a regular regimen going because both kind of feel like torture at most points of the workout haha. However, with Club Pilates I can honestly say that I enjoy every minute of every class while still feeling challenged throughout! I've been going to the studio for about two months now and have been consistently going to 6-8 classes a week, I'm totally addicted! What I love most about the classes is how gentle yet insanely effective each class is. The instructors are super welcoming, friendly, and encouraging, they truly do an amazing job of ensuring that you are in proper form. They are also really good about recommending modifications if you want any of the exercises to be more or less challenging. I regularly take classes with Kim, Stephanie, and Paige; they each have their own teaching style, all of which are amazing in their own ways! My favorite days to go are Tuesday night and Saturday mornings since I'm able to double up on Stephanie's TRX and Reformer Flow classes! It's a tough combo, but I feel that they really compliment one another and Stephanie does a great job of making each class challenging, but enjoyable at the same time since she is super positive/encouraging and really engages with everyone! Overall, I love the environment that the Club Pilates San Marcos team creates, they truly make the studio and its attendees feel like a community! I've never been so hooked on a workout, I highly recommend giving Club Pilates a try! read more

Club Pilates - Pilates Near Me - San Marcos, California

I have been going to the San Marcos and Carlsbad locations for many years! I have found all the instructors to be extremely organized in moving clients from one exercise to another, innovative in their lesson design and what I love most, I never know what we're going to do in class! That keeps me coming back for more! Don't be worried if you feel out of shape! This will help stretch your ligaments! It was originally designed for invalid patients! I would suggest taking a private to get the basics down and then schedule an intro class! read more

FYI, Club Pilates San Marcos, this is on the CDC's site. Your instructors who wear face shields only are placing people at risk... "CDC does not recommend the use of face shields for normal everyday activities or as a substitute for masks. Face shields alone likely do not reduce the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19.

I'm a huge fan of Pilates and the knowledge that the different instructors bring to each workout. I've always wanted to lift weights and get toned, and not feel out of place. I just couldn't bring myself to use the machines at various 24hrs because the ogers freak me out in the weight area. The grunting, the very loud yells and throwing of their weights -- so much nopes. That doesn't happen here! If you stick with it consistently, you'll see results! I'm thankful that I took the plunge and bought a package for the summer. Hey, if you feel like you gave it your all, you can reward yourself with coffee in the same parking lot. I love it even more that I can switch between the studios in Carlsbad and San Marcos. I work by one and live by the other. It's convenient and the instructors switch between them, too! read more

I love club Pilates! Stretchilates with Blythe is my favorite class. I also love the cardio classes & wish they offered more. The studio is clean & fresh. They have all the good Pilates equipment. Classes do book full sometimes. read more

I have been going to Club Pilates for seven years. it is such an important part of my life and maintaining a healthy body. This studio has so much going for it. The atmosphere is welcoming and inclusive, all ages, body types and abilities are welcome. The instructors are excellent. I take most of my classes with Kate, Jenna and Stephanie and also loved Nicole, but she has gone into another sector. Occasionally she subs and I love that. These young woman have an amazing knowledge of Anatomy as well as Pilates. I take 4-5 classes as well as private sessions. This is my happy place! My mind and body connect and the instructors are great about challenging me to the point of being inspired, not discouraged. For my 76th birthday Nicole coached me to reach a five minute plank! There are not enough stars to give to this studio, as I said, this is my happy place. read more

Trying so hard to do everything right, so sad they had to close again they are a great family run establishment and I'm missing them desperately. When they open up again give them a try. read more

I've been going almost daily for 6 months. Pilates has been life changing for me. The studio is bright and clean. The Instructors are all excellent and really care about proper form, which is so important. Signing up for classes on line is easy, but they fill up fast. I would say my only complaint is that sometimes people in the class chat with each other or the instructor and it's very distracting. Other than that I love this place!! read more

I never thought I would try out a group Pilates class until a friend of mine raved about Club Pilates in San Marcos. Similar to the other Yelpers, I purchased a Groupon. I'm only in my 2nd class but I love it. Steph B is an amazing instructor. She really works you out for the entire 50 minutes. The studio is very clean. The reformers are wiped down from the previous class. Of course you could always wipe it down again. If you've been looking for a class to tryout, definitely try Club Pilates in San Marcos. Groupons are always being offered. read more

While on vacation I found this studio and felt very welcomed. Calvin is a phenomenal instructor!

I love Pilates. Club Pilates SM makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable no matter your age or fitness level. It has changed how I feel about myself. read more

I agree with my fellow yelpers: Phoebe C., Queen Claire B., and Michelle H. Probably anything positive is true. I purchased the popular Groupon and am so glad I did! I've been going to the San Marcos location. I've gone to Level 1 and Stretchlates with Steph, Cardio Sculpt with Randi, and I believe I've had a Level 1 class with Arielle one time. I have since finished my 8 classes the Groupon provided and bought a 36 class package for $360! I felt that was the best deal and know I will use that up pretty soon. Putting that much money down for anything is not typical of me, so let that speak volumes to you. Things I appreciate about Club Pilates: 1. Online scheduling. 2. Later classes for those who work. 3. Different levels for those who are new or want more intensity. 4. Variety of teachers that have their own style so it doesn't get repetitive or boring. Not to mention encouraging, attentive, and funny. Exercise is fun and classes go by fast with their help. 5. Several apparatuses for all the techniques that work out your body. I would have never known my body can do some of the things I've done coming here. 6. Classmates with different backgrounds. Young, mature, and even some daring males. It's diverse and we're all there for the same reason. No intimidation factor you get at most gyms. 7. Limited class space. There are only a certain amount of people allotted at one time so this lets the instructor give more attention to each person. 8. Cleanliness- everyone is responsible for cleaning the equipment they just used after each class. 9. AND MY FAVORITE: I don't have to wear shoes! I come to class in flip flops, slip them off, and jump onto my reformer! If you've ever thought about giving pilates a shot, please don't hesitate. Try this place out. read more

I love Club Pilates! So much. I've gone to their Encinitas location for years, and being that I live in La Costa, the San Marcos location is equidistant to my house. Though I still have great love for the Encinitas location, I think San Marcos might actually be my favorite of the two. The studio is gorgeous! Nice and roomy, air conditioned (SO HOT RIGHT NOW. Literally. The AC is a godsend when it's 99 outside). The instructors are incredible! Carly is the absolute best! I religiously take her stretchilates class on Thursday nights, which is a class devoted to stretching those sore muscles. Dude, it's so good! Carly's cardio sculpt class on Sundays is phenomenal; burns so good! A little story that is a testament to Carly's radness: I've been taking exercise classes for YEARS, and those classes have always required planks. I always thought I was never a good planker, that my shoulders just couldn't take it. NO ONE has ever explained to me the right way to plank. Carly changed that, and now I could plank for days! Ok, minutes. Definitely several seconds. Steph Boulette is also amazing, she just chats with you like your BFF while she's kicking (and sculpting) your ass. It's great. She always makes it a point to walk around, adjust springs when needed, and correct form where applicable. Club Pilates in general, but especially this location, is truly as good as it gets! read more

This studio is a hidden gem in San Marcos! Having recently moved here, I was in despair when I realized the lack of good Yoga and Pilates studios. That was until I came across this amazing studio in the parking lot of Better Buzzed. I've only taken 2 classes so far (reformer level 1 and sculpt level 1), both of which were a lot of fun and an amazing workout! I workout a lot but the muscle soreness I had the next day caught me off guard! Both instructors were amazing as well! Very helpful, funny, and energetic. Their pricing is also incredibly reasonable! They offer a variety of different packages to choose from, depending on your level of addiction to the studio after your first visit! I can't wait to go back for my next class, and highly recommend everyone try this studio! read more

I love Club Pilates! I am generally not a fan of organized exercise, so it surprised me that I fell in love so quickly! The studio is clean and the instructors know what they are doing. They walk around and encourage corrections without making you feel silly. They are knowledgable and educated to make modifications to your routine based on injuries or special needs. I get a great workout and their program is making me feel good and look good, inside and out! I have not been so lucky to have used a groupon, but the prices are competitive and they are always offering deals on their website. My favorite instructors are Nicole and Melanie, but everyone is great! read more

This place is awesome! Tried it out for $10 on a night cause a couple of friends invited me and I am so happy that I did. The term "Pilates" can be super intimidating cause it's this apparatus that you work on but this place makes it effortless. Such a great workout with amazing people who all encourage and help each other. Carly is such a great instructor. She is energetic and modifies what you need to meet your limits. After coming one time, I came home and signed up for 10 sessions. I felt amazing after the first class and can't wait to go back! I brought my mom today who is over 65 and she enjoyed it so much. It is challenging and works your body but you feel great after. I recommend to anyone who is looking for a change in their routine! They also having a special running right now that is 10 classes for $115. It expires after 150 days and trust me you won't be disappointed! read more

I've only attended one class so far after buying a groupon deal but I love the studio and although I usually hate to work out- I fell in love with reformer pilates. It's challenging but also fun and not so much work that you can't walk afterwards. I hope to still be in love with it as I work my way up the levels and to get my body into rockin shape ;) Instructors are nice and patient, explaining the basic moves and making sure you're doing things correctly without making you stand out. It's a small studio so there are never so many people in the class that you feel crowded or that you can't speak up if need be. Very clean. Headed off to cardio sculpt tomorrow so will update my review in a couple weeks after I've tried a bunch of different ones out. read more

Hands down my favorite "gym" in North County SD and perhaps in general! And trust me, I've tried a lot... Groupon got me hooked, and here are a few reasons why... 1. Clean 2. Eco-friendly 3. Great instructors 4. Convenient location 5. Always parking 6. Easy, last minute, on-line sign-ups 7. Spa Finder Wellness deal at Costco applies 8. It is what you make it read more

I love this place! I started a new workout routine with Xtend Barre and I decided to supplement my workouts with Pilates. I love it. The place is always so clean and smells good all the instructors offer different types of classes so you can either chose your fav instructor or switch it up for different workouts (which is what I do). Rondi is hands down the most challenging and encouraging teacher there and I look forward to her classes! I love this place and can't say enough great things! read more

The 1st class did not win me over, it was the 2nd and beyond! Why?, well I had been engaging in high intensity - roller derby and barre classes this past year and did not anticipate how much I would love the low-impact, less exertion to what I had normally been doing, so the 1st class was a bit confusing until I was met with the 2nd, 3rd and now into my 2nd month and cannot say enough! All the instructors are helpful, engaging and keep you in alignment so that your class is met with the results you want to achieve and ultimately in reaching your overall goal. The class sizes of 12 or less are always comfortable and when you feel less confident, you will gain the move with continued practice, which does not take long. Look forward to a New Year of more pilates!!! read more

I enjoyed my classes but was charged significant additional fees on top of the unlimited. I understand the police and have take club Pilates at 5 different locations along with other studios which have the similar policies. I attempted to talk about it and was shut down on multiple occasions. Several times the fees were unwarranted. I was in the class but for whatever reason was marked as a no show in error. I had received emails for missing classes in the past, but for these one I had not received notice for some reason. Just a charges on my card which would have been easily missed. I asked to talk to someone about the fraudulent charges and was dismissed. They refused to talk to me or acknowledge that their could be an error and even still below in their response are very rude and accusing that I missed the classes. I was simply trying to explain that their was an error with 2 of the no shows they had and they would not give me the courtesy of listening. I think this message below is dismissive and shows how they treated me. read more

I am so happy that this gem has opened up in San Marcos! Heard about it through my friend, she gave me the first class referral card. So I came for the beginners class with Anthea, what a fantastic class! I am a Pilates reformer believer! The studio is brand new and very clean. My instructor was so helpful and kind, I cant imagine my experience being any better than it was! There is plenty of parking available which is always very nice. Trust me you do not want to pass up on this studio, definitely worth it! Thank you Club Pilates!!! read more

I signed up for the unlimited package and have been going 5-7 days a week ever since. I'm 41 and this is the best shape I've ever been in. The schedule is really convenient for a working mom too as they have early morning or evening classes. All they instructors have been awesome. You get a full body work out with special attention to abs and buns. I have chronic migraines and I can get through a class and actually full better when I'm done! Janine, Julie and Stephanie are my favorite instructors. I never know there were so many ways to work out different muscles- they are always switching it up. I'm never bored! I got my husband to go with me too. He is an amputee and has a ton of back and neck issues from serving in the military. He is in the best shape he's been in in years and has able to kill it everytime. They modify his exercises as needed. His back & neck pain is SIGNIFICANTLY less and he's lost about 25#'s. Pilates has changed our lives! read more

Club Pilates San Marcos is my favorite place I have ever done Pilates (I've been in Pilates for 4 years, and about a year ago moved to San Marcos; I tried other studios, but didn't like the atmosphere). Colette is always so sweet and enthusiastic. Checks in on me often. The instructors are amazing! So much energy and personality. They pay attention to everyone's form. They make class fun! Special shout out to Blyth, Calvin and Stephanie--these are the instructors I train with the most because of scheduling. The facilities are super clean; because of covid, classes are outdoors--love it! Everyone is so relaxed outside. Also, the other women in the classes also make it fun. I am so happy I joined! read more
