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. One thing I will say is I've noticed there is often not front desk staff at this studio. Instructors seems to be able to help with any logistical stuff like scheduling a class or buying merchandise, but if you have questions about your membership, payment cycles, referrals/discounts or anything like that--you may be better off calling at a different time of day or just emailing the studio. read more

I love going to the studio because of the instructors. The one I enjoy most going to is Tracy Ford. She makes it so enjoyable, along with the fact that she is an exceptional instructor. I attend as many classes that she teaches as I can. read more

Unfortunately, over the years so much has changed. Great trainers have left. Some people get grandfathered in to be kept, and some clients (after 14 years) they just let go without any offer to stay. The studio smells, you never know if the front desk or sick or not as they cough and sneeze the whole time. As an immunocompromised person, it is very disturbing. It used to be a happy place. Things and attitudes have changed for the worse and it is very disappointing. read more

Don't waste your time coming here for private lessons. Their instructors have very limited availability to begin with and when you actually manage to schedule a session a month in advance the instructor doesn't show up. read more

I try not to leave reviews unless it feels absolutely necessary but in this case i feel like it is. I have gone to this Pilates location for a while so i feel like I've had enough experience with this person. I have spoken with Joyce on multiple occasions over the phone and it has never been pleasant. She is never friendly and condescending. I am still leaving three stars because i love the instructors and have spoken with plenty other people there and it is always pleasant and everyone seems to want new people to come in and are happy to answer your questions. Please stop allowing her to answer the phone though it definitely will deter new clients from wanting to come in. If this was a one off where she may have been having a bad day i would not be writing this review but it is a constant thing that i have experienced when calling in. read more

The expertise and professionalism of the teachers, each in their unique way. sets Club Pilates apart from other studios, of which I have tried many! I'd like to give special recognition to Stacy Carlock as she exhibits kindness, encouragement, and a breadth of knowledge that is unparalleled. She pushes us to achieve above and beyond our current level of fitness, all while exhibiting her signature charm! If I could clone Stacy and take her back to my home studio in Vegas, I would! read more

I have been taking classes for over 15 years and each and every class is genuinely unique. The instructors always bring a positive attitude and leave you blissfully fatigued in a good way. Julie and Tracy make me smile and come back for more every time . They are genuinely talented and delightful and I cannot say enough about these ladies. Y'all need to book out 2 weeks in advance as they are that popular for justifiable reasons!!! read more

I've been a member since Feb 2024 and this is by far the best investment I have done for myself not only to get into shape but to also have great interaction with other people as well. Julie, Tracy, Chantelle, Jenni and Nicki are the main Instructors I take classes with and every one of them hands down is amazing! I definitely recommend a thousand times over! read more

I love club Pilates! It is the best way to work out and tone up. Julie at Santee is a great instructor. Her upbeat personality and funny stories make the class enjoyable! read more

I joined Club Pilates in Santee at the beginning of the year and have really enjoyed it. The instructors are very knowledgeable and friendly, and with the small class size they are able to provide individual instruction and modifications for all levels. Whether using the reformer, springboard, TRX or chair, I love that they incorporate new exercises into each class to keep it interesting and challenging. Special shout out to Chantelle Tuggle, Nikki Sparks and Tracy Ford for their guidance and encouragement! read more

I had to update my review... I started attending Club Pilates' Santee location at the beginning of the year and I decided I was instantly addicted to The Cycle-ilates. (half spin/ half Pilates) it's the perfect balance of cardio and core and works the entire body! Depending on your level you can customize your workout and everyone falls in love with this class! Alexa is by far my favorite instructor! Her attention to detail is unparalleled. She remembers her clients by name and is great with modifications for each individual. Whether you have a new injury or an old one. You are tired, pregnant or ready to kill it! She can assist. I have to give her a big shout out for transforming my body in 2017! I turn 40 this year and made it a point to change my diet and take this Pilates workout to another level! I have increased my strength, dropped 10 pounds and I am leaner and feeling better than ever! I have quickly come to realize that I LOVE this studio instructors are awesome, the classes are challenging and the clientele is nice! I wish Alexa still taught Spin twice a week! But I still enjoy my favorite classes and other instructors that I have had the pleasure of working with. Thank you Club Pilates for providing a great studio for working out and Thank you Alexa for changing my life and being apart of my journey! I could not have reached my goals with out your encouragement and coaching in the studio! read more

Love club Pilates and the instructors! And Brittney who works up at front desk is so sweet and welcoming. I definitely recommend this Pilates studio!! read more

Joyce is a terrible customer service representative. I have never been spoken to so poorly by an agent and I will not be signing up here for classes with the way she talks down to people and over people. It was an extremely disrespectful encounter and I'm sad that I will not be able to join now because of my experience with her. I really needed to join a studio but instead will be using YouTube at home or maybe trying the place down the street. Although I'm turned off from all studios because of how she treated me. I also did not care for the fact that when you add yourself to a waitlisted class they charge you automatically even though you do not know if you are going to be able to attend since there are people ahead of you and you are waitlisted. The online system is not good and I was screamed at by her over it. I felt disrespected and devalued not only as a customer but as a person. read more

Love this studio the best. It's one of the largest studios in the east county and they have amazing instructors. I love going to Tracy Ford's class. She keeps me focused and gives me a total body workout. I love her fun facts during the class. read more

Newer to Pilates (10/2018)- absolutely love the classes and already seeing the results. The instructors at all the locations are terrific. Thus why when I was injured in a ski accident I was devastated that I wouldn't be able to go. Thanks to Club Pilates- I now have a new angel in Jennica Smith. Our private lessons and her vast experience in sports injury has changed my frown to a smile. Already feeling stronger and maintaining my health thanks to her. Her sensitivity to my injury and her expert knowledge is irreplaceable. No excuses not to exercise due to injury when you have Jennica.. Highly recommend her classes and Club Pilates. I can't thank you enough... read more

I discovered Club Pilates about 2 years ago. It has changed my life! I love my instructors and their classes! Each class is different and always challenging. Thank you to Lisa, Julie, Jennica, Katelyn, Esmeralda, and Tracy! You ladies are fabulous! read more

The instructors are professional, up beat, and very knowledgeable. Special shout out to instructor Katelyn. She always makes the class fun while making sure her students do not get injured. She has a positive inviting attitude and makes Pilates a great experience. read more

Its my favorite way to start my day. Instructors are super knowledgeable and helpful with all modifications needed. #Club Pilates Santee #pilates bingo read more

I love this place! Friendly staff who know their stuff, beautiful brand new equipment, an intimate spin room with amazing bikes and cool lighting? Ok! Julie's spin classes are the BEST. Seriously, the BEST. If you've never taken a spin class but want to start, give this place a shot. She will blow your mind. There's also childcare, which is awesome, and its soooo clean! LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

I found this place by taking a spin class from Laura the instructor. I really enjoyed Laura and highly recommend her, the spin room is small and dark with great music. Exactly what I was hoping for. The Pilates room is great as well, super clean with fancy new equipment. I took Lisa's class and she was awesome. What a great work out. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is due to the pricing. Very very expensive by class or package. Almost $20 a class for either Pilates or spin is pretty high especially for the Santee location. read more

This is a beautiful new Studio! I woke up bright & early, had the pleasure of taking Lauren's Morning CP Reformer Plus 1 class. This location is easy to get to even if you're not familiar with the area. I'm new to Pilates, and Lauren provided such clear directions throughout the class, she made me feel confident in what I was doing & eager to come back again. Music choices were on point! Don't be afraid to try Pilates- chances are, YOU'LL LOVE IT! Awesome clean studio, can't wait to try the spin class. read more

If you are looking to get your butt in shape and enjoy it the entire time, I strongly suggest booking a class at Club Pilates with Esmeralda. She's an amazing instructor and takes such great pride in what she does. She ALWAYS greets you with a smile and so much enthusiasm, you can't help but be excited to work out. You'll leave her class being very aware of muscles you never knew existed (and the tears come from knowing how good you're going to feel after). She transforms your body all while helping and guiding you every step of the way. AND...she's freakin hilarious (bonus for the abs). The studio is roomy, clean and with all the different equipment, ensures your workout will be exciting and different each time. So, sign up with Club Pilates (Santee) and book with Esmeralda. You will not regret it. read more

My home away from home! Love this studio! I started coming here regularly after I had my daughter. They have THE BEST child watch out all the studios/gyms we've tried. Very clean and the people are super on top of things even with multiple little ones running around. My daughter is a huge fan! The instructors are wonderful. Very attentive to form and making modifications. I always feel like I've gotten a good workout and leave more centered and balanced than when I came in. Highly recommend! read more

Don't miss Esmeralda's classes at Santee (or La Mesa). So fabulous! She is a lil ball of energy that makes you smile while she's killing your abs and booties! You want to grunt and groan, but you just can't. She works every bit of your body. Try her 2 class combo: 1.5 reformer, followed by Core and Balance (stretching). read more

Love this place. It's exactly what I need. Helps me with my weight. But also with my stress levels. Very clean and the staff are great. read more

Pretty sure spin + pilates might be the greatest combination. Ever. Took what was only my second spin class with Julie Rendon last night and she rocked it! Holy cardio. (How have I gone my whole life without this amazing workout?) My heart rate was up and I was jammin right along with her. Can't wait to go back! Since I'm a pilates regular, I followed the 530 spin with the other Julie's pilates class (level 2). Even though I was completely exhausted, it felt so good to lay down and get that nice decompression of my spine and lengthening of my muscles ("ahhh"). Oh and Julie was awesome too - but I already knew that :) read more

A beautiful studio with personalized instruction. Katie and her fellow trainers provide amazing Pilates routines providing a good workout, good stretching & they are in tune with your injuries to help modify your workout so you leave feeling awesome not injured. Knowledgeable trainers in a positive environment. The child watch is great, very clean with good caregivers. Can't wait to try spin! Love this place. I have a fused vertebrae in my neck and knee problems and am able to do this exercise and come away feeling stronger. Thank you Katie & Club Pilates Santee! read more

I'd always wanted to try Pilates, so this studio--brand new and shining--seemed the perfect place to start. I used to compete in amateur bodybuilding, so really, without a room full of free-weights, I was prepared to be underwhelmed. But with 60 pounds to lose (post quitting smoking), I desperately need something structured, especially since I don't have a workout partner here. I joined Club Pilates Santee five days ago and have been to four classes. I love it. 1. The classes are limited to 12 (14?) people, so the atmosphere is intimate and very personalised. this is important, because... 2. There is a lot of attention to individual requirements: injuries, sensitivities, and training for newbies (like me). The instructions are clear, to the point, and easy to follow, even for klutzes like me. 3. The equipment is excellent. Aside from the nice woodwork of the multi-functional machines (I'm not sure what they're called), a lot of thought has gone into the entire layout of each individual work space. In any given workout, you get broad ranges of motion. This surprised me, since from a bodybuilding perspective, I'm not a big machine fan, primarily because of the lack of variety and range of motion. This is not an issue here. 4. Exclusive of the equipment, the exercises themselves cover a broad spectrum of motion. Pilates is core-centric, but these classes incorporate that core concentration into a full body workout. 5. The trainers seem to know what they're about. They are no-nonsense, but with a dry sense of humour that injects a giggle just when you think your eyeballs are about to pop out. I stumbled upon this new business through a Groupon advert, but I'm signing up for continuing classes. I highly recommend this studio. read more

Loving this place! Super clean, warm natural sunlight, & amazing staff. The spin room rocks with black lights, top notch bikes and great stereo sound -- helps you get in the zone, hang on & pulls more out of you that you think you are capable of! read more

I had been searching for over a year to find an outstanding Pilates instructor who would be excited to work with me in Private sessions. I feel so lucky that I was connected with Esmarelda at the Santee an La Mesa locations. I have made so much forward progress finally!! The sessions are both challenging AND fun. Esmarelda listens to my needs and finds the best way to make my body stronger. I am very thankful for her amazing skills read more

Seriously love this place! Never had tried pilates and I'm in love! I take Julie Rendons 6am spin every Tuesday and Thursday and it kick starts my days. She is a great spin instructor and so encouraging. All of the pilates instructors at this location are wonderful and really love what they do. They make sure you're doing each move correctly and make it fun too! I'm excited to see the changes in my body. read more
