Update on my disability discrimination. A month of 3-5 days per week of Pilates at my Bay Area…read morePilates studios has passed. ALL instructors have been so positive of my necessary modifications to class routine. I am 90% better and walking upright. So unfortunate club Pilates San Lois Obispo was so negative and unwelcoming.

I really wanted to love this place, but my experience as a new client was frustrating and honestly,…read morepretty disrespectful. I called ahead to make sure I was following the correct protocol for new students and was told I could sign up for any class. So I booked a 6:00 am session, woke up early, and arrived on time, only to find out I had been removed from the schedule without any notice. No email, no text, no call. When I asked the instructor what happened, there was no apology, no effort to help, and no offer to make things right. I was just... dismissed. To make matters worse, I still haven't received a refund for that class, or for another one I had signed up for. It's really disappointing because I was genuinely excited to try this studio. First impressions matter, and unfortunately, this one left me feeling ignored and disrespected. I hope they treat future new clients with more care and professionalism.

Kristin is a QUEEN and teaches the most incredible class. I was in town for a graduation weekend…read moreand took her flow class and WOW! She has such an incredible flow for the class, creates such a wonderful environment for her students, and gave tons of variations for folks with different skills. I suck at yoga but left feeling so accomplished and feeling so centered. The studio itself is so cute, clean, and welcoming. The staff was also super friendly as I was new coming to the studio and they were beyond welcoming. Would come here on the regular if I lived in the area.

It's warm and welcoming with so many classes and top notch trainers. The Fitnessworks team works very hard to promote a positive, fun & healthy environment. Makes me sad to read a few negative reviews. I have experienced the complete opposite! Highly recommend.

I particularly enjoy Chloe and Sarah; they are so chill yet they're on top of your form. Buying class packs works best for me, but you can just drop in (if there's space) to see what's best for you. Great studio!

North County Pilates has changed my life! I have a nerve…read moredisease called CRPS, which leads to extreme level 10 pain and long days (weeks and months) stuck in bed. I have been at NCP for 7 months now and I have not spent a single day stuck in bed! Almost all of my pain has subsided and I feel strong and clearheaded, something I had not felt in years!! North County Pilates has given me back my body and my life, I have finally found exercise that I both enjoy doing, and can do even on my worst pain day! If you are disabled like me, do yourself a favor and give Pilates a shot, it is a lifesaver!!

Love NC Pilates. Great workouts, super clean, great atmosphere. Love working out with this crew!read more

I love Misha at Central Core (and Jax her cute and uber well behaved studio pup.) I am so thankful…read moreI stumbled across Misha at Central Core Pilates. I use Pilates as a sort of physical therapy as I am recovering from a back injury from heavy weight lifting. I feel strengthened, stretched and realigned after Misha's Pilates classes. Recently we did some spinal decompression and my back has never felt better! Misha's enthusiasm is contagious and her knowledge is abundant. I highly recommend dropping into her studio and trying one of her many offerings. She offers group and private Pilates on Reformer and the mat,, TRX, ab classes among other classes!!

Going from backaches in second pregnancy to struggling to get myself to even do self care was possible with what all Central Core provides as part of their membership & services. Blessing in disguise are her short routinized pilates videos that make the "workout" habit a feasibility for rat race life I experience! She's also always available to answer any questions or concerns we as clients have when it comes to health! Availability, transparent communication, flexibility, accountability, guidance, recommendation, customization, variety & novelty.. all describe what Central Core offers!

Change Your Life While Having Fun…read more.. My wife and I are seniors in our 70s, but remain active. I've gone to the gym 3 days a week for many years while she's taught Jazzercise and gone to Zumba classes for a long, long time. But something was missing. Pilates at Tabula Rasa is a kick in the pants. Pilates is meant to strengthen your core muscles. Between introductory sessions and a package of 10 classes for $275...all with the owner, Vanessa (although there are other trainers)... we've worked on things we didn't know existed. - Overall: 5 - Owner: 5+ - Getting Started: 5 - Range of Classes: 5 - Online Management: 5 - Yurt: 5 - Class Size: 5 - Personal Attention: 5+ - Cost: 4 - Location: 5 - Facilities: 5 - Parking in Dry Weather: 5 - Parking in Wet Weather: ? Pros: - The owner, Vanessa Dominguez, is amazing. Her knowledge, ability to explain and pay attention to each person even in a class of 2-6 people is uncanny. Her energy is breathtaking - literally. If we were back in the 1970s or 80s, Vanessa would be on TV with best selling videos. - Sample the equipment in her studio, ask whatever comes to mind and get a feel for what it's all about at no charge nor obligation. - There's a big range of classes at most hours of the day with several highly skilled and motivating instructors. - Managing your pilates schedule is simple, online and flexible. - All classes are behind Vanessa's house in a "yurt"...a big teepee shaped building with lots of equipment. It's actually quite spacious and comfortable with air conditioning and a big fan dropping down from the center. - Classes are limited to 6 people, although most we've seen had 2-4. Lots of personal care if you need it and each session is tailored to the attendees. - Cost is not "cheap", but reasonable - Location is convenient for residents of Nipomo - it's within a mile of Trilogy and Black Lake - and not bad for those in Arroyo Grande. - If you're hungry, thirsty or need a bathroom, she's got feee snacks, water and facilities. - There's a big parking lot in front of Vanessa's house for cars and trucks. Con: - Yes, there's one con. The parking lot is not paved so when the rainy season arrives there will probably be lots of mud. Our weekly pilates session changed our lives. Now all we've got to do is find a good place to park when things are wet.
