I've had tough lower back problems for quite some time. Starting weekly sessions with June (plus the homework she gave me) has really helped me. I recommend her without reservation. Walker Lundy read more

I took Pilates at June Kamerling's studio for about three years and only stopped because of the pandemic. It was probably the best form of exercise and core strengthening which I needed desperately that I have ever done. The teaching was excellent, patient and customized. I highly rate this studio.

I went to June to help with PT repair on an IT band tear in my leg/knee. And what I got was a way better knee AND fabulous one:one coaching, stretching and core workouts that I did not know I needed, but I did!! I am coming back for more. Kindness and grace. No judgement. Focus on form and improvement. I could not recommend her more unless you give me more stars to use! read more

I am a 72-year old fairly less-than-athletically-endowed woman who has been seeing June for about 5 months. My initial issue was an arthritically impaired knee but I have branched off into so many more issues and am successfully tackling them with June's help. She is helping me with balance, pelvic floor weakness, strength and mobility. June is pilates but also knowledgable about many more treatments. June is now part of my monthly budget. read more

June is an expert and experts are hard to come by. She has worked with every body type across every lifestyle and profession you can imagine. She will tailor her care to your specific needs but push you to make sure you get to where you want to go. Highly recommended for Pilates or bodywork from the newbie to seasoned athletes. -Joshua the Chiropractor read more

This is such a great little studio. Staff are really great - June, Liz and Anna especially. They are understanding and will work with you to figure out what we need and my favorite - they offer prenatal and postpartum pilates - YAY! Equipment is in great condition and classes are smaller for better focus. You can sign up online and it is easy to street park here. Give it a try! read more

wonderful experience, June is very competent, calm, and set on giving me exercises I can do at home to make lasting change. Highly recommend! read more

June is a true healer! I have gone to her twice when my back went out, and it was her work more than any other (acupuncture, Chiro) that did the trick in getting my back working well again. I highly suggest her - and Pilates- for any back issue at all! read more

June knows what she's doing and she really wants to help you meet your goals. I highly recommend her and appreciate all she's done for me and everyone else! read more

Have a reformer at home? If yes, join June's reformer class. I have been a client of June's for more than 10 years, pre COVID in her commercial studio in El Cerrito, to currently her zoom classes in her home space, which is her new permanent studio. It is so wonderful to not have to get in the car, and go to a studio/gym. I take two Pilates' Reformer classes and one stretch class weekly, which I love. I round out my physical fitness regime with walking. I have taken her mat classes with one of her colleagues, which are also great, but since I own a Reformer, I prefer using it. June's transition from studio to home studio was seamless. She cue's (articulates verbally) better than most, as she watches your movements, and corrects your posture, whether you are a new student or advanced. She will even include the jump board to introduce more cardio. Her pre COVID studio was a small intimate homey place, and her home studio is a reflection of that. read more

I like June, and I think she's a good Pilates person. She's attentive to detail, making sure I'm challenged enough to get stronger, but without risking injury. She's clearly experienced and knows what she's doing. read more

June and her instructors present accessible classes that challenge me without injury. Love the stretch class and have benefited from personal instruction. I'm happy to say I'm feeling stronger and less irritable with my exercise routine. Highly recommend. read more

I took a few classes early covid and the instructors were great!

As I was about to turn 60, I decided it was time to get in shape. So, I signed up to do weekly small-group Pilates sessions with June Kamerling. Within a couple weeks, I felt stronger, more balanced and centered. June provides a whole-body workout on machines that glide smoothly with movements that keep my brain intently focused on the task and not on the inner voices that say, "You can't do this!" I come away from sessions feeling toned, fit and proud. read more

I worked one on one with June. She is patient, knowledgeable and very, very supportive - also a massage therapist. June really knows the human body. Her workout is tailored to whatever YOU need while being a complete system. The studio is lovely, naturally lit, airy and equipped with every type of useful aide, in addition to 5 reformers. Parking is easy, too! Look no further for a great Pilates studio! read more

The best Pilates class I've ever taken. Irving the teacher was the only person that truly helped me cured my Carpal tunnel. He helped me with specific Exercises and just being aware. I've had carpal tunnel for over a year doing physicaltherapy and nothing helped until I started class with Irving. I am beyond grateful. I recommend this class to everybody and anybody. read more

June is terrific. I have severe arthritis in my left knee along with collateral issues. I've been working with her for several months. Both knees are stronger and the pain level in my bad knee was significantly down even before I had a cortisone shot. My whole body is moving better and my core strength has improved. I really look forward to my time with her and I feel really good when I leave. read more

I am disabled, and deciding to do Pilates was a wise decision, but choosing to work with June, the owner of El Cerrito Fitness, Pilates and Personal Training, was the best choice I made. June was not afraid to work with me and explore alternative ways to enable me to strengthen my body and improve my mobility. I have been working privately with June and her staff for over two years now, and they are the most accepting and kindest professionals I have ever met. Many kudos to you, June, for creating such a unique environment for people wanting to improve their physical health! read more

Updating my previous review from 2021. My husband and I have been taking "duet" reformer classes with June since November of 2022. We've had great results, with both of us feeling stronger and almost immediate improvements to my quality of sleep. June does an excellent job of explaining and correcting my movements on the reformer so that I'm getting the most out of the exercises. I often leave class with increased energy and improved mood. read more

Awesome teachers, highly recommended !! Pilates is a great physical fitness system that can alleviate back pains, improve balance and overall body fitness :) read more

I've been working with June for years and she has changed my life. I had been dealing with chronic hip and low back pain and the work of Pilates has been critical for keeping the pain away. 2020 was a bit of a challenge but luckily June offered online classes which held me together. Now I'm so happy to be back in person, in her studio. Oh!, and a nice side effect of the work is my fit body! My ab muscles are strong. I feel strong. I'm happy with how I look. Thank you June! read more

June Kamerling Pilates meets all my needs for fitness. June and her other instructors are super knowledgable about the body and Pilates and how to assist with making modifications for injuries. The classes are just the right level of difficulty and they show you how to increase or decrease the movement to fit each person's needs. The classes are filled with nice people so if you want some workout buddies, you can find a nice community there.

The day I have to move from the Bay Area due to housing costs will be very sad, because I can't take El Cerrito Fitness with me. I have been taking reformer classes at the studio for two years now (currently with Liz) to help deal with pain issues. They have been great at helping me strengthen my body, as well as teaching me how to move and use my body in different ways so that I can help manage my pain levels. I also love the small class sizes that allows the interaction with instructors to feel personalized to your own body type and restrictions. read more

I have known June Kamerling since the days when she was located on Kains Avenue as a massage therapist. I was impressed with her expertise and caring demeanor. When I was having back hip/back problems I looked to her for a solution. By then she had started her Pilates business on San Pablo Avenue. June is a natural healer. No matter what modality she employs, it is always backed by an extensive knowledge of body mechanics. Her concern for her client is paramount.....and it shows. She helped me. It does not get better than that! read more

June is an expert Pilates instructor and a lovely human being. She listens carefully and takes the time to understand you as an individual. She explains each movement easily and clearly. Her studio is beautiful and I always leave feeling peaceful and revived. I am so glad I have the opportunity to work with June and I highly recommend her. read more

I'm absolutely delighted with El Cerrito Fitness! I do a lot of hiking and working on the reformer in such a small group setting is invaluable my body's needs. I need a lot of stretching and the kind of resistance stretching that the reformer offers is a breath of fresh air from yoga. June and the other staff at El Cerrito Fitness could not be more accommodating and have gone out of their way to schedule me one-to-one when I could not make a scheduled group class. They are genuinely interested in my well-being and their depth of knowledge in working with the reformer is staggering. They really want the best for their clients. read more

I'm a longtime yoga practitioner and I was curious about Pilates. I wanted to address--or discover--my core. I've been taking weekly group classes and receiving private instruction from June for several months now. The studio is inviting and my classmates are a warm, convivial group. June is incredibly knowledgeable and has helped me get the most from each workout. No two workouts have been the same. Most of all, I like knowing I'm getting stronger and that I'm taking care of my back by strengthening my core. June has created an inviting, warm space to get in touch with your deep muscles. You'll exert yourself but in a gentle, safe way. El Cerrito Fitness is a gem on San Pablo Avenue. You owe it to yourself and your core to check it out! read more

This is a great studio for getting more fit and learning or practicing Pilates. I worked with June Kamerling and she's so knowledgeable and really listens to what you want help with...core, overall strength, overcoming pain and more.

I've been a regular of El Cerrito Fitness Pilates and Personal Training since it opened! I now consider it my home away from home! I've worked with a variety of trainers, including June and Anna. Some of the classes I've taken are private personal training, group reformer, and group springboard. I'm currently taking a group reformer class as well as a group personal training class. I've found all the trainers to be at the top of their game and responsive to any physical issues I might have. They work with you to achieve your goals and I've definitely felt a difference in my strength, balance and endurance. On top of that, it's a fun, inviting environment where all are welcomed, at any age or physical condition. read more

I absolutely love this place. Crossfit has been my workout of choice for the past two years. It really takes a toll on your body depending on the week. Someone mentioned trying Pilates in addition to the heavy lifting so I gave June a shot. I could not believe how much better I felt after the first session! These were much different movements than I was use to but I was more surprised how my body reacted. Decrease in muscle pain, more control in my range of motion and best of all training the smaller muscles that seemed to get missed with my other style of training. I use this training more as a recovery but I can see this benefit any type of athlete looking to have more awareness and control of their movement. So happy to have found you June!! read more

I had been having chronic pain in one arm for a couple of years. I went here and took some private pilates classes to strengthen my core and through their guidance, I learned a lot about what was triggering the pain in my arm. They gave me a lot of unique core exercises that helped me to get stronger without injuring myself. Plus the place and the people are very friendly and inviting and it quickly felt like a home away from home. read more

I was attending individual mat Pilate sessions with June before moving to SoCal. She was very knowledgeable and listened to exactly what I wanted to achieve while taking into account any health constraints. After two months I felt much stronger; my pain improved; and could feel the difference in my posture. I'm now planning to restart classes on zoom with June. Highly recommend this studio! read more
