Was able to take a Coeur Reformer class with Alexa and throughly enjoyed my experience! She was…read moreable to create an intense workout while still prioritizing balance and form. I love this location because of the convenience, intimacy of the class, ease of parking, and proximity to home. In addition, as someone who has a variable schedule, this studio I've found has the most availability for classes. However, getting to trial classes at some of the other locations (Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley), there is only one con of taking workout classes here: the mirror set up! While I was taking the class, I was in a place where I couldn't see myself in the mirror and look at my form which was unfortunate. My instructor Alexa was kind enough to give me and several others who were in the middle of mirrors form corrections throughout the class. Otherwise, this would get 5 stars from me!

I started with one class, then two, then three per week. Now I am on the unlimited plan and go as often as I can. The coaches: HBP only hires the best of the best. I've taken classes with Jillian (the owner, tough and brilliant), Madison (strong dance background, limitless energy, very kind), Lisa (all about precise technique, no nonsense), Peggy (strong yoga background, fun boot camp activities ), Imani (pro dancer, super chill but not easy, very cool music), Patrick (Marines style tough!!!), Dan (very detailed and helpful), and Sara (the most positive person in the world, great for beginners or advanced athletes). The facilities: All city owned venues. Murdy and Edison Community Centers- virtually identical, nice rooms Senior Center in Central- sparkling new facility, they have gear ready to use, super convenient City Gym - very cool old building, well maintained with hardwood floors, and showers!!! Edison is closest to my house, but the senior center is my favorite. You must be 55+ to use the gym, but group fitness rooms are open to all The vibe: All are welcome. This is a big deal for me and why I am a customer for life. All shapes and sizes, people with chronic pain, muscular, thin, plus size, young, old, it really doesn't matter... EVERYONE is welcome. They will customize your workout experience even in large classes. The coaches will make sure you are OK. If you have an injury, you will get modified instructions tailored to your needs. The other clients are very cool. Mellow, happy, joking, one big family. The coaches care about you and want you to reach your goals. The price: You get back so much more than you give. Also, you will not find more inexpensive classes at other local studios. Think Pilates is only for rich people? Not at HBP. The largest investment is your time. It's worth it. My recommendation: Sign up today. Start with Mat Pilates. When you are feeling stronger, try Lean & Fit and Barre. Take yoga if you need to manage stress (I do!) but know that all of the above classes help to reduce stress. You cannot go wrong with HBP! Thank you Jillian for all that you do for your clients!

This is the gripe: I joined CP south HB location July 5th, 2024 with a monthly unlimited membership. On August 28th 2025, the studio offered a semi-annual prepaid membership, which I signed up for. I was advised by Carol not to wait until the monthly payment was due in 9/5/25 to make the switch, and that she will tackle on a week at the end of my semi annual membership since it was already paid for. By my calculation (and hers) at the time of the prepaid membership was done, the 6 months should end February 28, 2026 (+ the one week). Today January 28th, 26 I received a call from Carol, telling me that my membership has expired and that I'm "locked out". And she would offer me a discounted annual membership if I renew today. I asked her what happened to the one month that is left. That is when Carol got really frazzled and not knowing what to do. She indicated to me that my account was being "audited", and that I need to speak with corporate. When asked for a corporate number, she refused to give it to me and instead asked me to email someone named "c sweet". I did so, without any response. Then she had the audacity to tell me that she'll let me "have the prebooked classes". Excuse me? I've paid for them til the end of February. You are not doing me any favor but instead locking me out of booking my classes one month earlier than expected. This is thievery. See photo for the receipt of my transaction, which clearly indicated the date the transaction occurred, as well as the type of membership it was.

(I hadn't worked out in a long time since I started here, and have some medical procedures coming up that I need to be in my best shape for. That's why I take so many classes right now) The change in my body is even better than when I used to work out two hours a day on my own when I was younger. My posture has improved tons and I can feel the strength, and length, built up in my feet, ankles, legs, arms, back and core. I still have a few problem areas, but those come with age and my genetics (my people have inner thighs:)) But, they are getting better, just at a slower pace. I literally schedule all of my classes based on what class I need that day, but just as important is getting in with my three favorite/loved instructors: Rachel, Julie and Connie. *Caveat - I have not gotten to try classes with all instructors, so not negatively judging the other instructors* All three are incredibly knowledgeable (I mean you are basically trusting them with the health of your body), and will tell me how to correct my body position without it feeling embarrassing or like a drill sergeant. I also feel comfortable asking them any questions, no matter how silly I feel they are. All three instructors are great people and bring a different energy to the classes they teach. Connie is hilarious and a spitfire, Julie is very calming and nurturing and Rachel is a mix of everything. The best thing is they are all kind and thoughtful, which is really important bc Pilates can be incredibly intimidating when you are first starting, or trying a new class. The other people who take classes there are also really nice, funny and helpful. I think that's a side effect of the whole vibe here,and the type of people and personalities it attracts. And, I can't forget Erica up front. She is not only great at what she does, but I get to crack up and feel uplifted every time she's there. She's the epitome of a Boxer dog person (if you've ever had a dog that is silly, funny, weird, smart and still needy you'll get it). Love her. If you can't tell, I really like it here. Lol. If you've ever thought about trying Pilates, give the intro class a try. And, try not to be intimidated the first few times like I was, there is always someone willing to help.

Decided to surprise my wife with a relaxing duffy boat ride for our wedding anniversary with some friends. Went straight to Yelp to do my research (thanks Yelp!). Originally, I was going to book with a rental company for Newport Harbor, but then came across a Groupon for PCH Electric Boats. After checking out their website and reading the glowing reviews on Yelp, I immediately booked. I called to book a white duffy boat on the day before Thanksgiving. The person on the phone was friendly, courteous and really easy-going. They asked if I had a Groupon and if I could provide the voucher number. BOOM. done. all set! I received an email with VERY DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS (including photos) of where to park and where the meeting area was. Additionally, a link to the waiver form that every passenger is required to fill out (even your babies) was included in that email. On the day of our booking, we were met by the owner Grant who I'm pretty sure was the same friendly, courteous and easy-going person I talked to on the phone days earlier when I booked. He provided specific instructions on where we're allowed to go and what to avoid. He saw we had several small children in our party and recommended everyone use the restroom nearby before boarding since there is not place to stop out in the harbor. After we came back from our potty break, Grant lead us down to the dock and got all the kiddos fitted for their life vests (all in great condition btw). He assisted us with our bags so we could focus on boarding the kids safely and even took a group photo for us! The boat was clean and easy to drive. The sound system was bumping and all the windows easily lifted up for that nice harbor breeze. It was a beautiful and memorable day. On our return, Grant was at the dock with one of his employees ready to receive us. He guided us in smoothly and as we were gathering our belongings and cleaning up, he helped all the kids out and grabbed our bags. We handed Grant a tip and immediately he passed it over to his employee who was going to do the post-ride cleaning.. what a great boss!!!! Definitely will be booking with PCH Electric Boats again!

Great pilates studio. Instructors are extremely knowledgable and work with you to make sure you have your body in exactly the right position to ensure optimal results. Group equipment classes involve rotating from station to station, which keeps things interesting. Each class was different and definitely appreciated the high quality of personal instruction / assistance offered. The only downside for me was not enough daytime classes offered, and the price per class for equipment classes. If you can get a special offer though, go in and try it out. If the price and class times work for you, it's an awesome studio - just outside of my budget and time availability. read more

I have been going to Kor for over a year now. Last June I got pregnant and was pleased that Kor had great prenatal classes and teachers. I was able to continue at Kor right up until my baby was born. It's been 4 months now since Harper was born, and I'm getting close to feeling back to my old self again. I started back at Kor 6 weeks after she was born and they were there to help me work on the areas that I needed the most (can you say pelvic floor?). I also have a hard time taking it easy, but I listened to them and have had an amazing recovery- and no ab seperation, which is awesome! Rebecca, and the Kor team are pretty darn awesome. read more

"It never gets easier -- you just get stronger."…read more I love how this adage can apply to not only lagree but life in general. With that said, I came across Stronger on a Yelp search late one night as I was suffering from insomnia and thinking about going from zero (i.e., couch potato) to... a number greater than zero. I had heard about lagree from a friend a while ago, and she seemed to really enjoy it, so I thought it'd be worth checking out. The intro deal (2 classes within a week for $20) was reasonable, so I scheduled my first class ASAP. As someone who is relatively shy, especially in gym-related environments, I showed up to class feeling incredibly nervous. Fortunately, the instructor (Jamie) was super sweet and welcoming, and she made me feel at ease. When class started, we warmed up with a plank, and I fully appreciated how physically unfit I was, as I started to immediately sweat, breathe heavily, and tremble. While transitioning into other moves, I struggled so hard, but Jamie was always patient and encouraging. She'd often say words of affirmation in a truly genuine way about how we're strong and able to get through each exercise ("Yes, you can!"). At one point, she also said, "You're allowed to take up space," which is such an important and powerful reminder, no matter the context. I especially appreciated how she had no problem being hands-on when correcting my form even though I was a sweaty mess (and she did this for everyone, too). At other fitness studios, the instructors are a bit squeamish about touching people to correct them (and I don't blame them), but that's not the case at Stronger. Class was over before I knew it, and I was absolutely exhausted and dripping in sweat (at one point, it probably looked like I was crying from all the sweat pouring from my forehead like that Jordan Peele GIF). I remember feeling a bit disappointed in myself for not being able to properly keep up and straight-up pausing sometimes to catch my breath. But Jamie and the other members were very kind and reassured me that I did a great job, especially as a first-timer. At my second class (also with Jamie), I struggled again and was overly apologetic, but Jamie was supportive and gracious, saying, "As women, we apologize a lot for every little thing, but we don't have to do that." She also reminded me to breathe throughout class, which clued me into my bad habit of holding my breath when I'm doing something challenging. That gentle nudge helped me stay more present in my body, and I started noticing how often I tense up without realizing it. And I've also taken a class with Maggie, who's so knowledgeable and upbeat. She somehow makes even the toughest moves feel fun. At Stronger, there are people of all ages and fitness levels just doing their thing, and that makes it way less intimidating. Some folks are lifting heavy, others are modifying moves, and it's all good. Bottom line: Stronger and its community definitely live up to the name!

I was pleasantly greeted by the instructor. The studio is clean and super cute! I liked the large…read moremirrors every machine has to check on your form and I didn't have any issues with parking. I loved my instructor. She was very friendly and encouraging. Her workout was challenging and I'd love to take another one of her classes again!

I have had a subscription for about a year. I've tried to cancel it 3 times and have been…read moreunsuccessful. I filled out the webform online on 9/30/24 and the system would not allow me to cancel until 11/23/24 after midnight. I left a phone message at 714-309-0136. No one responded to either attempt to cancel. I filled out he web form again on 10/5/24 and again it wouldn't let me cancel. I left a phone message and got no response. I repeated this process again on 10/14/24. Six different attempts to cancel unsuccessful. I had to cancel a credit card in order to stop it, and re-enter cards for Amazon, etc and all other online merchants because HB Pilates would not respond to any request. DO NOT let them have your credit card information.

I have been a client of HBP for almost two years. What started as a random class through HB Parks…read moreand Recreation has turned into a complete lifestyle makeover. I started with one class, then two, then three per week. Now I am on the unlimited plan and go as often as I can. The coaches: HBP only hires the best of the best. I've taken classes with Jillian (the owner, tough and brilliant), Madison (strong dance background, limitless energy, very kind), Lisa (all about precise technique, no nonsense), Peggy (strong yoga background, fun boot camp activities ), Imani (pro dancer, super chill but not easy, very cool music), Patrick (Marines style tough!!!), Dan (very detailed and helpful), and Sara (the most positive person in the world, great for beginners or advanced athletes). The facilities: All city owned venues. Murdy and Edison Community Centers- virtually identical, nice rooms Senior Center in Central- sparkling new facility, they have gear ready to use, super convenient City Gym - very cool old building, well maintained with hardwood floors, and showers!!! Edison is closest to my house, but the senior center is my favorite. You must be 55+ to use the gym, but group fitness rooms are open to all The vibe: All are welcome. This is a big deal for me and why I am a customer for life. All shapes and sizes, people with chronic pain, muscular, thin, plus size, young, old, it really doesn't matter... EVERYONE is welcome. They will customize your workout experience even in large classes. The coaches will make sure you are OK. If you have an injury, you will get modified instructions tailored to your needs. The other clients are very cool. Mellow, happy, joking, one big family. The coaches care about you and want you to reach your goals. The price: You get back so much more than you give. Also, you will not find more inexpensive classes at other local studios. Think Pilates is only for rich people? Not at HBP. The largest investment is your time. It's worth it. My recommendation: Sign up today. Start with Mat Pilates. When you are feeling stronger, try Lean & Fit and Barre. Take yoga if you need to manage stress (I do!) but know that all of the above classes help to reduce stress. You cannot go wrong with HBP! Thank you Jillian for all that you do for your clients!

My first class at this studio was a 6am ZEN Stretch and Flow. The instructor was Hannah and she was…read morereally sweet and kind. She asked the appropriate questions about injuries or any modifications I would require. Since it's more of a stretch and flow class, I wouldn't need to be doing any intense lunges that would exacerbate my knee pain. The space itself is very inviting and warm. It's such a stark contrast to the outside which is blacked out windows. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the door. There are hooks for your bags and a rack for shoes. There is a nice smelling bathroom as well. My only complaint is that I wish they would release classes more than one week in advance for non-members. It took me a while to even find an available class that I could take because I like to book my workout classes way in advance. I would totally take classes here more often but it's hard when the availability is so limited and not given far in advance. I will come back again if I find any availability!

It was my first time trying pilates and she made sure to check up on the new participants and help us with the machines. Definitely coming back to try their other classes!

I am very happy with a new Pilates studio in my part of town. All new equipments is always a plus!…read moreI have taken 3 classes so far and this morning, the 9:30 am class with Ana Gabriela Coelho was the most disappointing, triggering class I've ever had, to say the least. I've had about a year of Pilates experience at other locations and been through dozens of instructors never an issue with any of them. Ana's voice was loud as tho she is a coach out in the football field. Her tone was harsh like a drill Sergeant, at one point went around to ask each individual to say out their heights and how the health of their knees was. She made us do a lot of very awkward and advance moves that did not make sense for our level. She looks extremely unfit. The class was by far the most unpleasant fitness class I've ever participated in. After class I went and canceled all the classes that I have booked with her. Good thing they have other instructor because if I had to be in another one of Ana's class I will quit this studio so fast.
