I've been here many times now, and I love the intimate setting. The small classes allow for very…read morepersonal instruction. The good instructors are very good (looking at you, Natalie!), and the not so great ones just have a lot to learn. Decent variety of classes, mainly vinyasa flow classes. However, for such a small space with 3 classes a day offered MAX, no classes on the weekend, and a couple of inexperienced instructors... $100/mo for an unlimited membership is quite steep! I've paid $65/mo at other small private studios with more experienced instructors that offer about 8 classes per day! Just food for thought.

HORRIBLE!!!!! Worst service ever!!!!! Ditched on the street…read morebefore the lesson ever started! Totally not recommended! The bitch named Lindsey ask for a$50 credit card payment prior to the lesson. The guy she told me will give me the lesson was filthy with a broken filthy board, and when I asked about the suit the Lindsey supposedly told him to get (after she took my size over the phone) was not a women's suit and not my size! He asked me to get into the water without it but I refused and when hopelessly I tried to squeeze myself in a suit that is 3 sizes smaller, it got stuck half way through! I was furious! And I told him that this is not the service I expected for $100. I told him I want to cancel the class, then he got so mad at me and he literally ditch me in the street in a location I'm not familiar with since I'm just a tourist. Tried to call Lindsey a thousand times and she stopped replying. I ended up canceling my credit card and taking the action through my back. DO NOT TRUST these people , The worst service on planet earth!!!! Soooooooooooooo disappointed! I bet they either paid those who wrote good reviews or just made up accounts to write reviews themselves like this very last one "Julie D" posted how good Lindsey is hours ago :( so pathetic....,

I love this place; they offer relaxing classes that really help me unwind. After a class, I feel…read moreenergized and ready to take on the day. I used to go to Pilates and Or in Santa Barbara, and this studio was really challenging, and I was completely exhausted after class, but I'm sure it helped me build a lot of muscle and lose fat. I decided to switch to this studio because it's a better fit for me and it brightens my day.

I enrolled with Club Pilates after having a few private sessions with Kim! I am really happy and…read morepleased to have done this for myself. I've always wanted to try pilates but have been afraid to. Upon having some private sessions with Kim, I have realized that pilates really helps me a lot especially since I have lived quite a sedentary lifestyle due to some health conditions. The great thing about pilates is that it is low impact and I have found a warm and supportive instructor in Kim. Thanks Kim for being helpful and supportive in this health journey of mine! I wish I would have done it sooner. Also, Carolyn, the receptionist is also warm and friendly. Love this location!

My experience with Christine was just amazing…read more Let me tell you, no drug could ever reach the high I get in my sessions. Attention UC San Diego students, this place is dank, the best quality; I highly encourage my classmates to go here. I feel that Acacia caters to every single molecule in my body. In other words, what I'm trying to say is that this place crushes the rest, nothing can compare, and I don't think any organization will. It took me like a few clinics before I found Acacia.

We have a great therapist here, but I just called to reschedule (not cancel) our appointment…read moretomorrow at 2pm. They wanted to charge me a $50 fee because I didn't call within 24 hours. No, I called within 22 hours. And the reason I'm rescheduling is because I'm legal observing George Floyd protests, so it's not like we had advanced notice, either. It's just disappointing when companies are prioritizing money instead of kindness and flexibility-- especially at this time, and especially from a counseling center. I wouldn't choose them again.

Keep in mind that this is a small one-studio business and NOT a gym. There are (I am assuming quite deliberately) NO mirrors. The interior is very plain...no distractions. The music selection is great and rotated regularly. Rachel is a great dancer and is always smiling. The 9am class is primarily an older group and very welcoming to all ages and body types. The cost of classes is a bit more than a gym membership, but Rachel has a great new client special to try it out before committing.

I have tried three other martial arts studios in the SB area and none of them were able to keep him motivated and pumped up to go back each week, even adding classes and trying new classes! My son was never really into achieving his belts, and now he is aiming for his yellow black! He loves it, practices around the house, and even participated in a recital to show his "moves!" Dragon is an amazing teacher for young children and while he teaches them moves, he lets them have fun, laugh, and giggle! He himself is amazing at Kung Fu and an inspiration to these young kids, making them want to come back and try even harder! Vickie, is just sweet beyond words! She is an amazing dancer, and a wonderful person! I am so glad I stumbled upon Sino West because it has just lifted my son to a whole new level and his self esteem has just soared! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The closet dancer inside me was thrilled to get a little taste of the various classes they offer: salsa, zumba, and tai chi. They also offer yoga, ballet, jazz, Chinese dance, kung fu, and even hoops (hula hoops, not basketball)!! The instructors are amazing dancers themselves and were friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They were down to earth and made me feel comfortable enough to free the closet dancer. Sino West has an entire separate suite next door dedicated to their kung fu classes. I'm excited about this new studio! Prices are reasonable, and they offer a wide variety of classes for all ages.
