I saw a new member deal at this place and I thought I would give it a try, and I am so glad that I did! My first class was with Brenda, who is the owner, she is a local mom who started her studio out of a passion for Pilates! My experience was so welcoming and the studio is so clean. Brenda did an amazing job teaching a newbie how to get familiar with the reformer and also with the Pilates lingo. If you're new to Pilates or even experienced, I would definitely recommend coming here at least once!

Her attention…read moreto detail and absolute commitment to teaching "properly" make all the difference for someone (me) who has an athletic background but needs a lot of help with coordination and balance (which is why I'm in class!). She's very hands on, and when she comes over to correct me, I can specifically feel how her small position change makes all the difference in the muscles being worked. My only feedback for Beyond Pilates in general is that the 1.5 classes vary pretty wildly based on who is teaching. I tend to avoid taking them since (as mentioned above) I'm not the greatest, but even the class description is a bit confusing. Some teachers teach them like 1 and some teach them for advanced intermidate. I would appreciate more detail in the description, perhaps based on who is teaching?

I took a Reformer 1.5 - Intermediate class taught by Kevin. He was a really impressive instructor and was super knowledgeable. He was hands on with us and even helped me fix my form when needed, which I highly appreciated! He challenged us, and even added in some humor to push us through the hard moments. He really put us to work! The class felt much more personal than other pilates studios. The class is not for beginners, the moves are challenging and moves at a quicker pace. I liked the class but might choose other studios over this one.

Great workout with Andrew today!

Something to note is that there is only one park, so big dogs are combined with small ones. Theres a small obstacle course for dogs to jump and run through. And for the humans, there's also a few benches on the side to sit at.

There are four big pine trees with separate retaining walls around three of them for owners to sit down. With it being so close to the bay, there's often a nice breeze that goes through the park. There's no divide between small dogs and big dogs, so it's best to just keep an eye on your dog, and many owners around here are usually respectful. The street parking immediately adjacent to the park is free, however, it has a limit of 30 minutes, and the parking meter workers are strict on it if they're around. I bring my dog here around lunch time because those who live/ work in the area tend to bring their dogs during their break time and my dog gets his socialization time. They close 8am-11am MWF for maintenance/ cleaning. Currently, both gates are broken so it's not as secure as it should be, and who knows when the city will actually fix it. There're a few agility structures and a water dispenser. The children's park itself looks pretty cool for kids with a lot of structures with slides and swings. There's also another separate area with fixed exercise equipment that looks well- maintained. The water feature in the park is a water feature, not a pool.

One thing I noticed is that I haven't really seen any lifeguards around, so if you don't know how to swim, I wouldn't recommend climbing down into the water. I also see a lot of people walking their dogs here, which is something I personally like. Between the ocean views, the sunset, and all the people out enjoying the outdoors, it's just a nice place to spend part of the day.
