I've never done classes like this and was intrigued as I know a few people who go here. I tried four classes with four different instructors and this is what I found. 1. While there is a circuit of machines and equipment to use, each class is different. There are themes to the classes which helps keep things feel fresh. 2. The instructors are seriously so positive and kind. They helped me with the machines and checked on me during each stage. 3. The people who go here are also so nice and supportive. It can be intimidating starting at a new place but I felt welcomed. 4. Sadly, this is not the workout for me but I really think this is a great place for people who want a trainer and enjoy this kind of pace. The classes went by quickly and I definitely felt it a few days after. But alas, not something I see myself doing. Overall, i think this is a great place for every body!

A high energy, positive environment with fun high energy music to keep you going! This Workout is challenging but great for all fitness levels.

This is the place to be to up the game in your fitness routine. Worthy of five stars for sure! C'mon give Rise up a try

My husband and I had never done Pilates before and found Beverly on Yelp (where her five-star…read morereviews are absolutely deserved). We started going in September twice a week, and five months later we're still showing up--and the results have honestly surprised us. I'm noticeably stronger in my core and lower back, and both of our postures have improved. As someone focused on building strength and improving overall fitness, Pilates has been a powerful complement to my other workouts. It's strengthened muscles I didn't even realize I was neglecting and has helped me feel more balanced and supported in everything I do. Beverly is incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive. She seems to know exactly what our bodies need each session and thoughtfully blends classical Pilates with reformer, mat work, the Cadillac, and other equipment. Every class feels intentional and tailored. Pilates is hard--but in the best way. For the entire hour, Beverly cheers us on while also carefully correcting our form so we get the maximum benefit. She emphasizes precision and alignment, which makes such a difference. You leave feeling worked, lengthened, and stronger. We go in the mornings, and it has become our favorite way to start the day. Beverly's warm, happy energy turns the session into more than just a workout--it's a full mind-body reset. Her studio, located off Mission Street in a beautifully converted former church, is calm, light-filled, and welcoming. The vibe and lighting truly matter to me, and she has created something really special. And a huge bonus in Santa Barbara -- there's plenty of parking in her private lot, which makes getting to class completely stress-free. We truly can't recommend Beverly enough.

I come from a…read moreweightlifting/boxing background and tend to be more analytical about my movements during training. I found Beverly at her studio, Classical Pilates Studio on Mission St., and her instruction was outstanding. Her sessions made me feel noticeably more sturdy, balanced, and structurally sound. It wasn't just a workout, it felt like building real alignment, control, and stability that carries over into everything else I do. Beverly is precise, attentive, and clearly deeply knowledgeable; you can tell she's teaching true classical Pilates. And the facility and equipment is very clean and tidy. Highly recommend for anyone who is a beginner, trains seriously, and wants something that improves performance, durability, and longevity without unnecessary wear and tear.

I can't recommend Prevail enough. I spent a year and a half working out here after a sedentary…read morelife, and they've changed me for the better. When I first joined, I was weak and recovering from back surgery. The whole team made me feel welcome and comfortable in the gym despite plenty of self-doubt. They worked with me to focus on my core and help me get back to a baseline fitness level and then exceed it. THe Prevail approach focuses on the whole person. Weak or strong, old or young, small or large, they will customize a workout for you and make you feel welcome and like you can achieve anything. I worked with Chris P. and Kyle during the 18 months or so I spent at the gym and cannot recommend them highly enough. Both trainers were amazing and pushed me when I needed to be pushed, but never harder than I could handle. I am in their debt. Peter, the owner, is very hands on and clearly cares about the results of each and every client. The whole team is beyond anything I could have imagined. If you're wondering if this is the right gym for you, I can assure you that it is. I've had a chance to work with almost everyone on staff and they're all wonderful. The only reason I don't train here anymore is because I've moved out of state. I miss them dearly.

I highly recommend Peter and the team at Prevail Conditioning. Prior to discovering Prevail, I had…read morebeen a part of a couple CrossFit experiences followed by a short stint at a gym that was high cardio. I was missing the strength & conditioning and this class is just what I was looking for. Peter and his team are highly qualified/trained/certified and it shows pretty much immediately. They are very engaged and constantly correcting and reinforcing proper movements versus being left to our own devices or learning bad habits. The location is perfect for me as well as the class time and frequency for my schedule and goals. The class size does not exceed 12 and we have formed a nice camaraderie, I was welcomed from Day 1. There is also nice variety in programming, it's not the same workout every time. -Kyle Opdyke
