I took a set of classes here through Groupon and the studio is absolutely one of the best I've seen. It smells good. It has good energy, good teachers, nice equipment, and gives you a challenging yet appropriate workout. The only thing that I would say is a problem is that the parking lot can get crowded during certain times due to the restaurant and the bar and the other yoga studio that are in the same parking lot. If you get there early, you can find parking and if not, nearby on the street. I highly recommend! read more

I took a beginner class with Kristen. It was of course slower pace and she offered corrections when needed but I found her transitions/ flow a little confusing at times but she was very helpful in ensuring everyone had proper form. The studio is spacious, I forgot socks so I appreciated that there were free socks to borrow! read more

I previously went to thisvstudio back in 2023 with Jacquie, Stevie, Sam, Kristy and Merilee as my main instructors. After taking a loooong break, I am now back and see that WCPC has added Veronica. I have had amazing experiences each time I've come to work out here and it is one of my favorite pilates places in town. I have done Beginning and Intermidiate/All Level classes. Honestly, the exercises initially don't feel like mich and then you're sweating buckets at the end!!! A very welcoming enviroment and supportive instrucgors that really emphasize breathing and form. read more

Started in May 2024. Still in Beginner mode with some overlap into Enhanced. Love the variety of moves for strength, flexibility and overall well-being. My core strength has developed nicely. Didn't really have that to begin with - now there it si! Each instructor has their own style and focus and I like that. My work schedule steers me to the late afternoon/early evening classes with Andrew, Katy, & Chelsea. With a sprinkling of Johanna & Maita on Friday mid-days and weekends. Thanks for providing consistent, knowledgeable staff and a great variety of moves. :-) Yeehaw! read more

Every teacher at West Coast Pilates Centre is wonderful. Heather, Kristy, Deanne, Johanna, Matai and Andrew are the teachers I have practiced with and all provide excellent instruction and encouragement. I highly recommend them to all levels of students. read more

Amazing studio! It's clean, great equipment and atmosphere. Veronica is an outstanding instructor, patient encouraging and helpful. I've been going for about a month and love it. read more

I love West Coast Pilates Center. All the instructors are wonderful and very helpful with technique and workout options.

This studio has incredible instructors, challenging classes and there are a great group of people who work out there making it a very positive experience for new and loyal clients! read more

Johanna was my instructor for my first beginners class. She was amazing!! she went over the specs of the reformer. She made me feel welcome and at ease being it my first time!! Definitely coming back!!! read more

I'm writing this on behalf of a friend, who, on her first visit there, was made to feel unwelcome and even though she bought a package of classes, won't be back. The instructor was mean, just to sum it up. My friend witnessed her sarcastically berate pp when they needed form correction. My friend described being talked to in a condescending tone of voice and not even being acknowledged when she walked in. It was an unwelcoming environment. Contrast this with the gym I attend, where the instructor smiles and hugs you when you walk in and when you leave. I feel like the instructor here has some personal issues to work on and brings her own unhappiness to work. If you look at other reviews, there are others who say something similar. Life's too short and we work too hard for our money to spend it in a toxic environment. read more

Best Pilates studio I ever been to! Great mix of instructors that each offer their own unique style and music playlist

Had a great experience with Bianca , she really does set the mood with music , her mic , she's fast but it's so she keeps you flowing Seamlessly from one exercise to another . She knowledgeable and fun , and time just flies. She will correct you when she sees fit, she's a solid choice . read more

This is the only studio that has reformer pilates in the area right now! Hadn't been to a pilates class since pre-covid, the studio is large, extremely clean and well managed. The reformers are spaced far apart, cleaning protocols could not be better! On another note, my abs are so sore I can barely get off the sofa. I enjoyed the class very much and will return on a regular basis :) read more

This is my favorite pilates studio! I originally came when I bought a few classes off Groupon. I enjoyed it so much I decided to buy a membership! Kristy is such a fun coach! She plays great music, pushes us, shows and demonstrates each exercise, and corrects if we're doing anything incorrect. I've taken classes with Anel and merilee as well, they sure know how to kick your butt.! The studio is a small boutique studio, it's so cute and everyone is so friendly read more

A chronic lower back injury led to a WCPC referral. Having never before taking a Pilates class, I went in with an open mind and a bit of trepidation. Because I've tried acupuncture, therapy and chiropractic care without desired relief, I also had low expectations. Well, four classes later my back has not felt this good in many weeks.The focus on stretching and core work is exactly what I need. While conventional wisdom would say to stick with the same instructor you like , I've had a different one for every class and they all have been excellent. They are a great crew! The other members have been friendly, supportive and helpful. Highly recommend West Coast Pilates Centre. read more

Great studio! Clean and convenient location. Instructors are knowledgeable and helpful! Check it out.

After just a few classes, I'm addicted. Fair warning, you will be too and your thighs will hate you for it. All these ladies are amazing! So far I've taken their Reformer 1 class and their Bar Fusion. My first class with Sarah was the best introduction to pilates. She starts off the class by asking what we want to focus the most on. She mixes the class with the reformer machine, evil resistance objects (yes evil), the bar and mat. She really hits every point when attending her class. My back, shoulders, inner thighs and chest were crying for sure. Plus I like her choice of music. My second class was with Melissa. She's fantastic! She uses the reformer machine and makes sure you're properly hitting each move, muscle and stretch. A great class to attend as well if you're new to pilates and strictly want to use the reformer machine. Now for my one and only bar fusion class, I had Margot as a teacher. This tiny little lady is filled power. She kicks your ass in this class! Not for the faint of heart for sure. If you think you're strong, she'll prove you wrong. She likes to use the resistance band from Hell and weights. Grab the 2lb'er on this one because it ends up being heavier than it sounds. You HAVE to take at least one of her classes in your package. After three instructors and three classes, I know I chose the right studio. Thanks Groupon and Yelp! Now get your workout on! read more

I came to classes here through a Groupon. I like the large studio space. It's calm and quiet and clean. Each teacher tends to have a different style, so one instructor's Level 2 might be another's 2.7. And, if you are not a big fan of one, you will likely find another instructor who suits you much better. My favorite is Heather but I've had good experiences with all the classes I tried out. read more

I love this studio! There is great freeway access and it's always very clean. I've taken a couple classes with Kimberly and she is the BEST! The schedule makes it easy for anyone to find a class that works for you, and Kimberly offers modifications throughout to help participants stay on track. I bought a 5 pack of beginner classes and it was a great deal. I'm hooked now! read more

I really love this pilates studio! Heather, the owner, is very knowledgable in classical pilates. My other favorite instructors are Julie and Rebecca who both are great and motivating! I love that there is always parking and it is conveniently right off the freeway. My only complaint is that the instructors aren't as hands on with form and adjustments as I have had at other studios. read more

I love this studio! It's never boring or the same. All of the instructors are great and and keep the classes challenging. They adjust the moves according to your level and are very helpful. I especially like the fact that they keep you on track with reminders about your core, breathing and making sure you do the excercises correctly. I've found out I have muscles that I didn't even know existed! The studio is clean and the equipment is in good working condition. Scheduling is easily done on their website. I've never been a big workout person, but absolutely love Pilates and this studio. It's hard to pick a favorite instructor because they are all great. They all continue their education and attend other classes and workshops to keep up to date. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I have never felt so unwelcome before. This was my first time in this facility so I went with one of my friends, we were both so excited to try it out. From the beginning we both felt like we were given the cold shoulder. The instructor Jacquie did not greet us at all and when asked about purchasing socks, she was very dry and short. In general, Jacquie was very unapproachable and rude. She knew it was our first time in the class and did not bother to correct us or interact with us during the class like she did with everyone else. My friend went to the bathroom mid-class, so as expected she was a bit behind when she came back. The instructor yelled the instructions at my friend (more than once) across the room, instead of calmly walking over and helping her without disrupting the whole class. It was genuinely humiliating, even for me, and I wasn't being yelled at. She also scolded the whole class for not doing an exercise correctly, so she had one of her more veteran students demonstrate the "correct" way to do it. After the scolding, you would think we would have gotten a chance to "redeem" ourselves and do it again, right? Well wrong. We moved on to the next exercise as if nothing happened. Lastly, at the end of the class the instructor came up to both my friend and I, and told us, "for future reference, please sign up for our more beginner class because this class is clearly too advanced for you both and it's for safety purposes." This truly infuriated us because not once did the instructor come over to tell us what we were doing wrong or what we could have done differently. If it was genuinely about our safety, why didn't she come over to guide us during the class as to not endanger ourselves? My friend and I genuinely didn't think the class was hard as we have done pilates before, just not at this location. We came in with high hopes and left extremely disappointed, we definitely won't be coming back. read more

Julie you're jammin! What a great core challenge... Hope to see you teaching more Pilates to the core classes in the future... You nailed it Amazing workout and stability challenge... Thank You! daily d.d. read more

Traffic and parking are a real issue on the weekends, particularly on Sundays. Be prepared to start your workout early and hike from home, if you live close enough. Unfortunately, I do not. Also, be very CAREFUL when purchasing a Groupon to this studio. They will not let you use it even if you have stepped a toe in before as a gift or guest. Even though the Groupon states that you can purchase it if you haven't purchased within a year; that is very misleading. If you have even taken a class, you are not allowed to use or redeem this coupon. Good to know. Groupon was very helpful with the refund, but it was rather annoying. So, buyer beware. Just an opportunity to try out one of many other beautiful pilates studios around San Diego. Gifts are everywhere, if you know how to spot them. read more

This is an excellent studio tucked away in a small strip mall in La Mesa. There is parking lot and street parking available, it's right off the 8 FWY off of Fletcher Pkwy, and you can see that sanitation of all equipment is a top priority. The studio is clean and refreshing, the teachers have been exceptional, and the overall vibe of the studio is welcoming and encouraging! Whether you are looking for pilates specifically or just wanting to try a new kind of body workout/movement class, I highly recommend this studio. Everyone can benefit from the reformer machines; young, old, post injury, physically fit or not, etc. I truly appreciate the variety of classes available. Definitely begin with an "Enlighten" and/or "Extend" class. Even if you're fit and think you're ready to jump into an intermediate class, I recommend starting with a slower paced class like these to get used to the awesome machines and the movements involved. Talk about isolating muscle groups! You will be surprised how your body feels afterward. We did some hip work this last class that really woke up some hip areas I've been trying to stretch out! So thankful for these machines and this awesome studio! Thank you West Coast Pilates! read more

-Open, roomy studio. Plenty of room between reformers to maneuver comfortably. -Cute, clean studio. -Bathroom in the back, decorated super cute. -Ample parking. Sometimes the lot gets full but theres also street spots available. -They use Mrs Meyers cleaning products for members to wipe down machines...I love that brand :) -Toe socks are encouraged but NOT required, which I appreciate. -Towels offered in case you forget your own. -During some classes, some instructors offer an essential oil spritz on your towel for an added mood boost :) -Some of the instructors werent my fave, but all seemed to know what they were doing. Out of three pilates studios I have tried in SD, this one is probably my fave and might be the one I end up buying a membership to. read more

I am still quite in love with WCPC - I took about 2-1/2 months off after finding out I was pregnant and recently started coming back after gaining back some energy. That break sure is felt each time I attend a class - feels like the first time all over again! I have to give some major props to the newly-added Ultra-Barre class (taught by Margot) - WHOA! Holy cow, WHOA! Went for the first time lastnight (Level 1) and was NOT disappointed in the slightest - she did the moves along with us and kicked our butts like I was not expecting. I had to take multiple breaks/pauses (embarassing, but soitgoes) and by the time I got home, I couldn't lift my arms up at all. What a workout. I look forward to being able to keep up in that class better than my showing last night, and am not surprised to see it halfway full already a week in advance. Otherwise, the other classes are still, of course, wonderful - I had to mention how awesome this addition is in case anyone was wondering about Barre - it will make you sweat and shake and feel it later. Nice! read more

Absolutely love this place!! The instructors are amazing, the equipment is new and in great shape, and I felt extremely welcomed from day one! I'm quickly becoming a Pilates fanatic!! Update - 9/28/16 - as if I needed another reason to love this place! Got caught in bad traffic today and missed my class. Had to late cancel, which means you lose a class, but since I don't make a habit of missing classes, they credited back to me!! This gesture is just one of the reasons I keep purchasing packages and keep coming back. The AMAZING instructors and awesome classes are another. Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

I've been impressed with all the classes I've taken here. Both Heather an Gwen are great! they are helpful, equipment is great, place is clean, and lots of classes available. read more

I still consider myself new to pilates and I've been going to this location and another for the last couple of months and by far this studio is without a doubt better from the instructors, studio (very clean and spacious) and classes.... I absolutely love this place!! With the few instructors I have had, they were friendly, great energy and amazing, they really want to tailor the workouts to your level which I appreciate greatly especially being a newbie everyone is at all different levels so it's nice to have them recognize that and help you along the way. A word of advice if you're also new to pilates, regardless of the level of your fitness, it is better to start at level 1 and work your way up instead of jumping straight in to a high level class, trust me on this I made that mistake and was sore for 4 days! I'm super bummed my Groupon is about to run out but I am with out a doubt going to purchase more classes. Also there is an app, Mind and body connection where you can save this location as a favorite and schedule your classes from there instead of through the website.... there are more features but you get the idea! read more

Came here after finding it through Classpass. I volunteer in City Heights on some days and always want to try to schedule a work out in the afternoon, so West Coast Pilates Centre popped up on the map. I took the Total Barre Cardio Sculpt & Tone class with Rebecca and Reformer 1 class with Krystal. In both classes I felt very welcome and the instructors were very encouraging! I've done barre before at barre3, but the barre class here is a bit more traditional in the sense that I believe it ties closely to ballet and is not as high-rep, but still just as challenging. There is a good amount of arm work as well (my biggest weakness!) but the class was very enjoyable! The Reformer 1 class was also challenging. There was a good focus on legs, so my hamstrings were BURNING! It's a good burn though, you'll learn to love it. Krystal was very accommodating and helpful in demonstrating as well as correcting any incorrect positioning. I hope to come back when I reactivate my classpass! I had to put it on hold so I could train more on running for an upcoming event. Definitely check this studio out if you're around the area! read more

I joined West Coast Pilates Centre when my Groupon (5 Classes for $25) ran out because I could see results that fast! I love to run, but generally do not like static exercises. I really love all the instructors and I am thrilled to see the success in my body and of this studio as the class sizes grow. Heather is the owner (I think) and she has put her heart and soul into this great, convenient location. It is clean, bright, and has plenty of Reformer machines for all to use. I have been in classes with all seniors and/or all college kids. I find myself in the middle :) and the instructors all adjust to ensure no injuries occur and that we are all getting the best workout for our levels. I highly recommend coming by and trying a class. My husband has remarked how he can already see an improvement in my posture and core. If that is not motivating, I don't know what is! I really look forward to seeing the success of this place, and with my hard work, a better body for me. Go try it! read more

Loved this place. I originally came after buying a Groupon. Great instructors and a great workout. The location was close to work which made it convenient. The reason for the 3 instead of the 5 is because it's so close to work it would be nice if they had more 5:30 classes during the week. One other thing that turned me off was the instructor didn't enforce sock wear. That was actually the last time I've gone because I was so grossed out. Yes it was one guy's crusty feet but still he didn't even wipe off the machine that well after. I work in the medical field so cleanliness is very important to me. I still had classes to use up but would rather not because of this issue. read more

I like to change my routine and try different work out and this was my first pilates (with machine) studio I visited. I got groupon for 10 classes for $45 which was very good deal. I've taken 4 different classes so far and they all have been great. Each instructor was very friendly and helpful. I liked that they paid attention and came around to correct the form. The place is very clean, the machines and equipments are well maintained. I can tell the owner takes good care of the studio. They also have clean socks for rent in case you forgot your socks. There is plenty of parking spots which is a plus. I really like this studio, the only downside is it's a bit far from my house. read more

I first attended this studio on a friend's recommendation. I found a Groupon and went for it. On first attending, I noticed a significant difference from other PIlates studios in the area. The teachers are interested in getting to know their students and ensure each person is comfortable. The teachers all have different styles, and I've found a couple who work with my schedule and work out style. They are very knowledgeable, especially the ones with solid dance background in addition to Pilates--as a former dancer this really steps up the game of this studio and their particular classes. I look forward to these classes each week. Finally the customer service of the studio in general is superb. The owner returns emails promptly and has quality details that enhance the studio experience. I look forward to becoming a long-term customer. read more

First time doing Pilates and am enjoying it. Studio is clean and instructors are pleasant and helpful. All sizes and fitness levels which makes the classes less intimidating. Although new clients are asked to arrive 15-minutes early, there is no receptionist or staff to greet clients and no signage to give basic instructions on what to do when you enter. Recommend the studio just type up and post a Welcome sign with basic 1-2-3 instructions or provide a new comer packet which includes visuals of basic poses (table top, etc) as the Pilates lingo isn't common to many. Invest in yoga/Pilates socks. They help you keep your balance. You can buy at the studio or on Amazon. Amazon was only about a dollar cheaper for these socks. Classes are often small, depending on the time you go, which is very nice. No one seems to track how many Reformer 1 classes you've taken, so you can register online for a higher level class. read more

I have been coming to this studio for 4 years now and I still love it!!! I cannot say enough about the professionalism of the staff and cleanliness of the studio. I have brought everyone I know here and they love it too. read more

It was my first time doing Pilates and Gwen made it such a great experience! She helped me with every move and made me feel very comfortable while giving me a good workout! read more

I am still attending WCPC (not on a regular schedule) but I'm still into this place. It so convenient to book classes in advance online. They have added more classes and teachers, Heather is still my favorite! I've been able to 'stack' certain promotions and have a good bank of classes. They also offer lots of other one off classes/events/promotions to tie their clientele to the community. -Essential oils class, kids stretching, bring an item to donate for a specific cause and receive a free class etc. I really enjoy how clean and fresh the studio is! read more

Friendly, knowledgeable instructors who keep things fresh and interesting. I look forward to each visit. A gem in La Mesa!
