I’ve been going to the La Mesa & Santee studios for about two years and genuinely love both. Pilates is the first workout I’ve been able to stick with—great instructors, welcoming staff, and a group setting that keeps me accountable. I’ve seen real gains in strength and mobility, and classes feel accessible for all ages and experience levels. Highly recommend either location.
I’ve heard great things about almost every instructor, but these are the ones I’ve taken most and would recommend 10x over:
Tracy F. – Warm, funny, and welcoming. I’ve taken 150+ of her classes and they’re always fun, varied, and challenging. She creates a supportive environment, encourages growth, and keeps things fresh each week. Her TRX class is one of my all-time favorites.
Anel – My first-ever Pilates instructor and a big reason I stuck with it. She teaches a more classical style and clearly explains form and function, which built my confidence early on. Consistent warmups, always-changing flows, and uplifting energy that carries you through class.
Jenni G. – A newer instructor to me and now a weekly favorite. She’s super attentive (always remembers my lower back issue), offers great modifications, and gives cues that just click. Her flow and TRX classes are fun, challenging, and set to great music. A great pick for beginners or anyone leveling up.
Stacy C. – Somehow both challenging and calming. She has a peaceful, encouraging presence and checks in with everyone during class with gentle corrections and praise. I love how she weaves in anatomy and form education. Her classes fill up for a reason.
Jade (Front Desk – La Mesa) – Truly deserves a shout-out. She keeps the studio welcoming, remembers everyone by name, celebrates milestones, and handles hiccups during classes with total grace. Her seasonal decorations and positive energy make La Mesa feel special.
