Really enjoying getting back into Pilates again and Jessica is the best! Love her classes she's really fun and makes sure I'm doing my form properly. Pilates is helping with my flexibility and mobility I feel great after! There are plenty of Pilates studios but this is a nice local friendly studio with great instructors and owners! read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience at Full Body Pilates with Sanio and his expertise as a certified movement therapist. I came in struggling with persistent shoulder pain from bursitis, and after trying so many other approaches in physical therapy, I was honestly losing hope. Sanio's knowledge, patience, and hands‑on guidance completely changed everything for me. Not only is my pain disappearing, but I finally understand how to move in a way that supports my body instead of aggravating it. I feel stronger, more confident, and genuinely cared for. Truly life‑changing support. read more

Delivers great classes with friendly service. They hit all the marks by offering various class types along with descriptive information so one can match their personal ability level to the appropriate class. read more

Had an awesome fully body workout this past Saturday with Sanio! He is so knowledgeable not only in Pilates but also in P.T. (Physical Therapy). Their amazing studio just opened. The first impression is the beautiful mural, calm lighting gives a really ZEN vibe, where you feel relaxed, centered and can step away from the daily grind! They have really high end metal reformers from Balanced Body (called the Pilates Allegro). They have all this extra stuff (accessories to the machine), where the machine is like a transformer, and you can do so much more! Sanio's instruction was awesome. He showed me alot of challenging moves that I have never seen or done before (been doing Pilates for the past 6 + mos). I was drippin! I got more than a full body workout! It was great. I was sore in the right places! So thankful for a great workout! They have some cool intro pricing for new clients and grand opening specials. You gotta check out this studio! It is so special in many ways. - Abundance of parking and it's a VERY short walk from your car to the inside of their studio - Their roomy minimalist lounge: there is a beautiful sofa and coffee table, it is stocked with water dispenser machine, a Keurig (nice coffee options) and Trader Joe's Tea - The bathroom is very specially decorated with alot of love and care - Both Sanio and Dayse are so sweet, hospitable and welcoming!!! They have large group classes, smaller classes and even private lessons! - So may choices, options - Love that they have STRETCH PILATES on their schedule too Can't wait to go back for more!!! read more

See all

A year ago I was in the most pain of my life. A few years back I learned I have a congenital back problem that typically flares up in your 30s (yay getting older!) I was scared, in terrible pain, felt isolated and lost. I woke up nightly in so much pain i would cry myself to sleep most nights. I was miserable. As a therapist, it's so important to be one mindful with my clients and despite my efforts, my pain consistently stole my attention. It was so bad to the point my clients often asked how I was feeling. It came to the point that something had to give. I posted on Tustin Buzz asking for suggestions for Pilates, as I was told it was a great form of exercise for just about anyone, especially those in rehabilitation. I got a ton of suggestions for Full Body Pilates and a few others. Being that I was scared and lost, and afraid to be let down and injured by another "promise" it was hard for me to initiate a commitment. Dayse, one of the owners, directly reached out to me on Facebook in a super friendly manner curious how she could help me. I can't tell you how much that message change my life.... I tell her now, I needed that bridge to take the leap of faith I'll never forget. I first started in the beginning of 2021 with the hopes of feeling relief and in less pain for my wedding in May. Dayse and her husband Sanio welcomed me to their studio with open arms, knowledge, expertise, compassion and humor. When I started my private lessons, I immediately sensed that everyone attending these classes feels at home. As I continued to attend, I got to know the other people and soon learned this is a second home for many. My pain level a year ago was 8/10. I write this message rating my pain 3/10. Of course there are days and activities that prompt pain and my recovery time is unbelievable. I sleep through the night, i no longer shift in pain at work, and I've resumed my life fully heartedly. Pilates truly saved my life. I owe it to Dayse, Sanio and the community that has been built here. If you are in pain, like I was, and don't know where to start. Start here. The love and attention will help carry you in the darkest days. If you just need a healthy activity, join! We are a big loving happy funny family! Dayse and Sanio, thank you from the bottom of my heart read more

I have taken six private pilates lessons with Dayse. I have lower back pain and neck pain, and Dayse used specialized cushion and back support to accommodate my health conditions. She was always patient, and helped me understand the correct forms and how my body is supposed to feel during each exercise. I enjoyed private lessons with her very much. Unfortunately, I had to relocate for my job, otherwise I would keep taking lessons with Dayse. I am so grateful that I had her to introduce me to Pilates! read more

First rate work out and wonderful people too. Fair pricing and personal touch. Group classes are fun and energetic. As an older man I appreciate the low impact exercise. read more

I love the type of reformer and the addition of the box and weights. I really enjoyed Amelie's teaching style too. The fact that she took the time to come and correct me and demo at times too was a huge help to me. On top of that, the overall vibe was extremely welcoming. read more

I've been going here for a month now and I can't say enough good things about this place! Every work out has been slightly different and challenging. The instructors are excellent, the vibe is Zen, the owners are a lovely couple. I look forward to every time I go. I've been a gym rat, did OT fitness, hot yoga. I became bored with all of them and have only been hiking Peters Canyon 3-4 times a week for the past 3 years.Being 51 I noticed my lack of upper body strength and abs and was looking for a way to fix that that I'd want to stick with. Well I found it here! In a short amount of time (13 classes, including my free one) I already feel stronger and notice my jeans are fitting me better. I'm at the point now where I'm noticing and that's what counts. I also appreciate how the instructors help everyone with form corrections, including myself. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. I also love knowing that my hard earned money as a RN is also going to a local small business. I believe I'll feel stronger at 60 after I put in the work here (plus my hikes for cardio) than I did at 40 (most definitely more than at 50) but I aim high lol. Check it out! Finally something that I'll stick with! read more

Love the classes. Melissa and the owners are super nice. Workouts are great and adjusted to each class. Very personal and fun environment!

Today I joined my group of ladies from work for my first Pilates class/session and it was amazing. The studio was very welcoming and Dayse our instructor was great and positive with a smile. I felt very safe and not so nervous. I definitely recommend joining a class with her. 10 out of 10! read more

Because they care about you and your body. They make sure you are doing the exercises correctly. My posture and flexibility improved drastically in the first several months compared to a full year at a chain Pilates place. read more

Both the owners and staff are fantastic. The classes are very good and they are very aware of each students needs. I highly recommend full body pilates to both advanced and beginner pilates students. Dayse and Sanio (owners) are both expert teachers and fun fabulous people. read more

Great instructors, awesome workout, fun and family environment. I have been attending this studio for 3 years and am still motivated to exercise here on a regular basis because they make it fun and it's a great workout. read more

I love this Pilates studio! I've been coming here about once a week with my ClassPass and I love it! I would come more often if my work schedule allowed me to do so. Georgeen and Debra are my favorite instructors on the weekends. They are really knowledgeable, always providing a variety of exercises, and quick to correct your technique and form. I love that we get to use the reformers to stretch as well as to work out. It's a nice balance. Sanio and Dayse, the owners and also instructors, are so welcoming and friendly. I always have a blast in their classes as they truly make the classes feel like a dance party. They are really great at contacting you immediately if there are any class time changes and resolve any issues quickly. The reformer machines here are top notch and we also use dumbbells, balls, foam boards, and other equipment. They always have wipes to clean the machines after every use and provide towels for you to use during the workout. The studio is clean and has cubbies to leave your purse and shoes in. They also sell socks if you forget to bring them. They share a lot with Blondies and the lot is spacious and large. Parking is never an issue for me. Overall, a great Pilates studio. I'd highly recommend it! read more

Every workout is challenging, but different. Every instructor is excellent! I love it there!

I've been a member for 3 months and can confidently say... I'm addicted. The studio is clean, friendly and challenging. I especially like that they offer a lot of class times and the classes never sell out like other studios. I can always get in, even at the last minute during prime time.. Sanio and Dayse teach most of the classes but i also love Debra and Christine when they show up on the schedule. The cardio class is especially fun and challenging. I appreciate that the instructors give me plenty of modifications to accommodate my limitations. (I have RA). I highly recommend pilates for a low impact rigorous strength training and Full Body Pilates as a studio. Come join us. read more

As a woman in my early 50's I've tried everything to loose weight and get in shape. I've always loved Pilates but it takes a special teacher to really motivate you and help you achieve your goals. Full Body Pilates has been my support and motivation for a year and I can proudly say I have reached my goal and feel better than I did in my 30's. Thank you Dayse and Sanio for your love and support and for having such an amazing studio that I want to go to every day. Highly recommend this studio and the wonderful, educated staff. read more

Great teachers, a beautiful studio and the owners are wonderful people. I love this place!

Thank you, Dayse, for a great team-building experience for our crew! We appreciate you opening up the studio Sunday afternoon for a special event and allowing us Compass Crew to hang out after class and drink champagne, and bond as a team of co-workers:) I hope more small businesses do this great activity for their team. We got to bond around fitness, health, and just being present for each other. Thank you for making this happen! read more

The best stretch class I've ever taken! Being in a corporate job setting on my day to day, I get pretty tight in my hips and neck. I really need a good stretch class to fix this. Locally, I've been to most of the surrounding studios, had memberships to 2 (including Club Pilates). This studio by far has the most effective stretch class held on Saturdays by Sanio. He actually used the reformers for a majority of class and each exercise seemed to systematically lead into the next portion. I felt so loose and limber after the class, looking forward to returning. It's a great class that many studios aren't offering any longer, which is a shame, because the class at this studio was full, so clearly still much needed. Glad they see this. Other studios I have been to that still offer a stretch class do a lot of mat exercises, which is all fine and dandy, but if I am paying the price for a reformer class, I want to use the equipment for a good portion of it that I don't have access too. And truthfully no mat class has ever stretched me out as much as a table class. Pricing is reasonable and at market and they definitely seem to have a community there. Sanio knew all the names of the students. read more

Dayse and Sanio are the best! I had a back injury 4 months back and my physical therapist recommended Pilates. I had never done Pilates before but I wanted to try. When I signed up I did their intro of 3 private sessions and then 3 classes. I did the private sessions first so I could learn what I should be doing and after a couple of group classes I was hooked. I go three times a week and my core is WAY stronger, I'm more flexible and I feel totally at home in the class. If you are thinking of trying Pilates, and are looking for a fun class in a great environment you should definitely try Full Body Pilates! read more

It was with hesitation that I started Pilates. My Rheumatologist has been telling I should for a few years now. My step daughter suggested Full Body Pilates because of Dayse and Sanio's welcoming personalities. That was 2 months ago. I take regular private lessons with Dayse. She is great at what she does and brings a fun vibe. I've started some of the group classes. I love the intimate group size. You still feel like you get that personal experience. My transformation in 2 months has been great. They have a client for life. read more

Full Body Pilates and Movement in Tustin has been a blessing for me! I joined in December and have changed my membership so I can attend more classes because I love it so much and seeing and reaping the benefits physically and mentally if participating in Pilates. Dayse and Sanio have created an environment that allows its members to workout, stretch and tone their bodies in a welcoming, calm and peaceful environment. Each instructor I have had for classes has been professional, knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. I have been challenged with learning something new every time I attend a class. read more

Love everything about them! The instructors are very skilled and helpful. The schedule is generous, there are a lot of classes to choose from and they are open 7 days a week. The studio is very comfortable and clean. I'm so happy I found them. read more

I have been a member of Full body Pilates since April 2018. Great atmosphere, the instructors are knowledgeable, always helpful to accommodate any injury that you may have. The place is welcoming , has a disco ball and the music is amazing. The owners are Sanyo and Dayse. Give it a try!! You will love it! read more

I almost hate to share the best kept secret in Old Tustin - awesome instructors, awesome owners, great workout and it's SPOTLESS. Highly recommend! read more

Full Body Pilates os my favorite Pilates studio in the Tustin area. Dayse and Sanio are very welcoming! They know their customers by name and really make this studio have a neighborhood feel. I have referred my step mom to this studio and she now goes to Dayse twice a week for private lessons. They have various levels of classes and accept class pass. read more

My husband and I have been coming since October 2018 and we come about 3 times a week. My body has really changed since I started. No more back pain. No more sore feet. Overall my body health has improved. Plenty of classes to pick from and every workout is different--you won't be bored for sure. The classes are small and the instructors always give you a personal time. Overall I highly recommend this studio. read more

Great instruction and wonderful positive environment. I would highly recommend taking classes here. Just after a few classes, I can feel a difference. read more

I've been coming here about 6 months a love the classes. Dayse and Sanyo make the classes fun and challenging. They know what they're doing and are very helpful about making sure your doing each movement correctly. So important in preventing unnecessary muscle strain or injury. Would definitely recommend!!! read more

My husband I absolutely love this studio! Dayse and Sanio are both exceptional instructors with personalities that really keep the classes light, fun and engaging but also CHALLENGING at the same time (this is no small feat by the way) Great studio , great instructors.. Good Vibes overall. Peace read more

This is a great place, run by a great team, with amazing results! When I first went to Sanio for PT, I suffered a lot of pain and had minimum to no function in my right shoulder. After several months, I had improved enough to join the Studio. We were both surprised by my ability to keep up with the pace of the Level One class, but it's all due to Sanio's knowledge and personal care. Now I fully enjoy the sessions, knowing Sanio and Dayse will adjust for some of my limitations. They are a professional and caring team who will guide their clients to better health and stamina. Bonus: It is FUN! read more

Within two days of moving to SoCal on Jan 1 for the winter, friends brought me to this Pilates studio knowing I like to keep up with my workouts even while away. I felt at home immediately in their charming space and bought a season-long membership. Sanio, Dayse, and their other instructors are professionals who work to make sure movements are done correctly and safely. I particularly enjoyed their Stretch Pilates classes with the lights turned low and gentle music providing background. It was a very peaceful way to workout. When the virus hit and businesses across the state shut down, FBP started offering online mat classes with props not just two or three times a week: there are at least 2 classes daily, including weekends. Upon returning home I tried an online mat pilates class offered by my gym but it was not the same. It was all boring mat work as are most of the mat classes I researched. I find working with props provides resistance closer to the Pilates reformer experience. And it's more fun. If you've thought about giving Pilates a try or are searching for a new studio, Full Body Pilates is definitely worth a look. read more

I've been attending regular classes at Fullbody after trying many different studios. The owners are great and will work with whatever level you are. I like the Level 3 class it is a challenge and gives me a great work out. We always learning new moves on the reformer. There reformers are high off the floor and have lots of extras to make the work out a fun experience. They have a great instructor Debra Stafford who is a great addition to there team! Lots of class times and levels to choose from. read more

I love this place and Dayze and Sanio. I had never tried Pilates and they were very patient with a senior citizen. I am hooked and going on my 4th month. Give it a try, perfection is just around the corner. Casey Long. read more

Dayse has been my Pilates instructor for two years and she is incredible. Very talented herself. She is challenging, knowledgeable, great communicator, very fun, and kind. She is able to adapt based on someone's level of skill. Some days my body is soar and she is able to move and stretch me to make the pain reside. I highly recommend her and the studio. I have also been to sanio and he is excellent too! read more

This is my new favorite Pilates studio, what a gem in downtown Tustin! The instructors are so friendly, knowledgeable, professional and most of all FUN! The studio is kept very clean which I really appreciate. read more

Sanio is an amazing instructor. He is very knowledgeable and his classes are so fun. I highly recommend trying a Pilates class with Sanio. You will be hooked. If you want to look and feel amazing, Pilates is the answer. read more

I only have the best things to say about this studio! I am not an avid exerciser but was committed to getting in shape for my 50th birthday. I could not have done it without Full Body Pilates. All the teachers are knowledgeable, thoughtful, caring and focused. They are continually "cueing" the class so our experience can be more effective. They are kind and funny but they understand the entire goal is an effective workout in 50 minutes. I am stronger and more limber and I am more committed to Pilates than I have been to any other work out. Thank you Full Body! read more
