Pilates + Cycle

This is a great work out, trust me Evelyn will make you sweat & shake. She is totally motivational and encourages you to finish strong. The work out will definitely make you burn!
Indeed, the class instruction is always so energizing, challenging, & positive.
The studio itself is cute, trendy, & clean!
I enjoy the music selection that gets you moving to beat for cycling.

This is a great workout if you want to become lean & fit!!! I’m not gonna lie its tough but well worth the pain! I especially love Evelyn’s class. Don’t let the sweet personality fool you though, she will definitely make you sweat, shake & repeat!!!

I had never done Pilates before and wow this kicked my butt. Challenging but in a good way. The instructors have all been great, very helpful and encouraging. After two classes I decided to purchase the 1 month unlimited for new customers and I am starting week 4 and I love it. I feel stronger and healthier. So glad I found this place.

I started attending the combo+ and pilates classes last month and I have had nothing but amazing and fun experiences with the instructors. The courses are VERY challenging and will make you sweat your butt off!!! Working out on my own for 45 mins in my own gym will not feel as amazing as you would in this studio! Evelyn, Stacey, Deana, Michelle and Claudia — you guys are all wonderful and thank you so much for all that you do! I feel so much stronger and healthier now — I can’t wait to update on the physical results in the near future. :)

Pilates + Cycle = kicks my butt every time I go. I am by no means a fitness guru, a yogi, or anything like that so from the perspective of a lazy bum (that’s me) this place is really pushing me to get into shape, get into fitness, and commit to being healthier.
At first, I started with the first class special for Pilates ($ 15) because I wanted to see what it was all about. The Megaformer (the machines you see in the pics) will really work out your body in ways you never knew it could. I’ve done other types of exercising in the past, but with the Megaformer I can really feel my obliques and my core working in a fluid motion while becoming stronger. For the machine, you will need grip socks (they sell it here for $ 15) or you can bring in your own.
The first class was great and I decided to purchase the First Time Client Deal — $ 139 for Pilates/​Combo/​Cycling for one month. So far I’m half-​way in (2 weeks), and I already feel great. I’m still struggling with the machines, but the instructors are always there to help guide you, push you, and make sure your form is in check.
All the instructors have been absolutely wonderful — Claudia and Lauren have been helpful with Pilates and Amanda and Stacey have really pushed myself in my Cycling Classes. Before you begin, they’ll ask you if you have any injuries that may limit your movement and will modify exercises for you (great for my back problems). I can’t wait to try other classes with different instructors!
Honestly I’ll probably purchase the 6 Month Unlimited Deal when my time is up because I love it so far and it’s not too far from home. Thanks Pilates + Cycle!

I have been looking for a good challenging Pilates class and I found it today. The instructor was great. The class was perfectly challenging and I know I’m going to feel this tomorrow. So excited to find a new place and I know I’ll be back.

I started going to pilates plus cycle starting mid 2015 and I have had great experience with the trainers and the sessions have been challenging yet fun. The instructors are wonderful and keep their sessions varied and fast-​paced. Evelyn is wonderful with providing members with adjustments based on their fitness level and Deanna’s energy is contagious and she keeps the sessions upbeat. The spinning classes are also a blast. This is a great place for pilates and spinning cycle sessions!

Did the megaformer + cycling class. Holy cow.
I do megaformer classes pretty regularly and was still VERY challenged in this class. It’s really a workout on its own, but then you finish and hop on a bike for a very intense workout. I loved it and I loved the instructor Deana. So fun! The studio is pretty, too, which is a nice bonus.

So excited about this place. I had a baby a year ago and just haven’t made the time for myself to get back in shape, so I was a little scared jumping back in. I’m so glad I chose this studio to start though. I couldn’t be more excited and motivated to begin exercising again.
I took Stacey’s pilates class. She was so kind and encouraging and really took the time to explain everything to me since I was new and completely unfamiliar with pilates.
I had no idea what a killer workout pilates is. I have sore muscles where I didn’t even know I had muscles!
I will definitely be a regular here.

DAMN.
Was my initial reaction when taking the megareformer class. I usually don’t sweat very much during pilates but DAMN, i was sweating. The class was pretty challenging but in a good way! My instructor was also very helpful and always came by to fix my technique.
Overall, I would definitely come back!

I cannot say enough good things about this studio. The owner Claudia is the sweetest and most patient person, and her instructors are upbeat and energetic. Each class is unique with fun new music sets each time so you never get bored. The entire team makes you feel welcome at any skill level while pushing you to do your personal best. My favorite instructors are Stacey, Lauren, Deanna and Eric. You can’t go wrong with any of their classes.

Responding to the owners commit on my first review. You changed the arrangement. I paid. Well I have chatted with some other businesses and they people next door dont even care for this pilates owner to be next to them. They rolled there eyes when I mentioned I was going to do pilates next door to them. Lol They didnt seem to like her. This person seems to only care about her little group of followers instead of being ethical and professional with trust and keeping the agreement she made with me.. Thats the simple truth. The customers are always in the right dear. Not some crooked greedy owner who refused to refund my money. I only did 2 classes. cause she wanted more money after she just had a baby. What ever!

You guyyyys, oh my god. Pilates + Cycle is a godsend — as the multiple other 5 star reviews will attest to. Details below:
THE WORKOUT: Megaformer ‘Lagree’ Pilates (named after Sebastian Lagree, who improved upon the traditional Pilates reformer machine for a workout created for masochists). You use a carriage with various weights to tone your core, body, and get a burning workout using your own body weight + the carriage for resistance. There’s also cycling classes here, which are great, but pretty normal.
This workout will make you BURN, but it doesn’t require previous fitness experience. I was in zero physical fitness shape — I mean no fitness and core to speak of, other than leftover dancer muscles gone to seed — when I first found Pilates Plus (in West Hollywood, owned by Lagree himself) three years ago, tt was a real slog, but I was able to do it from day 1 — albeit very slowly, and at my own crawling pace. I even gave up a few times, but it’s doable and you get better!
PILATES + CYCLE ITSELF:
WORKOUT: Pilates + Cycle will make you B U R N. I’ve taken classes with Michelle and Stacey, and despite being on Classpass and plannign to only stop here 3x a month per the rules, I ended up buying a package within two lessons — they’re that good. What I love about Pilates + Cycle specifically is the instructors; they really take the time to truly explain EACH position (they’re not natural positions!), and encourage you to go easier — even pointing out how much better you do with easier weights on form, so that you don’t feel like a failure — for your own body. I’ve never made it through a Megaformer class prior to P+C without giving up for a few minutes at a time, and here, I felt comfortable to never stop working for more than a few seconds, but to slow my pace down and really focus on form over weights.
Ditto the cycling — it can get a little dark in Stacey’s class when she turns the lights out, but no better way to get into the jams! For both classes — pilates, cycling, or combo — the instructor circulates around A LOT and I never felt left behind, despite being pretty new to cycling.
RESULTS: In five days and two classes — one pilates, one combo (with two low-​impact barre classes in between at Pop Physique) — I’ve already lost 5 pounds. I credit MUCH of this to Pilates + Cycle, as both the pilates workout and the combo had me drenched in sweat, not just the cardio-​filled combo. This may be psychosomatic, but I already see my body composition changing — my love handles have really flattened out, which, you know, thank god.
THE INSTRUCTORS: I’ve taken Michelle and Stacey’s classes and they are 100% the reason I instantly signed up for a month package, despite not having had the willpower to work out for honestly about two years (for no reason other than being in decent shape despite loving fast food). Two classes in four days have me hooked in a way I’ve NEVER been excited to work out before. They are both motivating, Stacey is hilarious and sarcastic, and they make me want to push harder than I ever have.
THE STUDIO: Beautiful. Airy. Clean. Only 9 machines for cycle, and about the same for pilates. Classes are never too empty or too full — plenty of personal attention without being singled out. It’s Orange County so most of the people taking class with you are n i c e. The workout is so hard, you all have are each other as you’re balancing for dear life! Plenty of classes at plenty of times, and a beautiful bathroom, free lockers, etc.
PRICING: Available on Classpass, which I think is a great deal if you’re not sure — but if you love the classes like I do, a TON of options avail for any budget — single/​5/​10 class packages, a variety of 30 day passes, cheaper month sets, even cheaper unlimited sets, etc.
As someone who TRULY ABHORS fitness in its every single iteration, I could not love this place more.

Where do I start!!! I have been driving by this place so many times and always wanted to try it but never did until today! My friend have been telling me about this place! I was a little nervous at first because the prices and machines can be a little intimidating. The prices are what kept me away. Today I tried and I can’t believe it took me this long! I absolutely love it!!! Seats about 9 for each class! I did the pilate and spin combo class! The instructor Deana was amazing! She explained everything to me and helped me through each exercise. There is also no judgment there! I got such a great workout! After pilate I did the spin class, and i have never done spin! Deana guided the class with a fun and energetic attitude! Everything was worth it and I am so glad I tried the class today! I gave it only 4 stars because like I said, it’s pretty expensive. I don’t think most homemakers or even mom’s that work part time unless their spouse makes bank could really afford this. But I can see why it is expensive because you get a great workout and it feels like you are having a one on one session with the instructor because the class is small and intimate! I see myself attending a class probably once a week because it’s $ 30.00 a class and I also work part-​time and it’s still on the pricey side. I do recommend coming to class about 10 to 15 minutes earlier to make sure you get a parking spot! The bathroom is super clean, not like most fitness facility bathroom’s where it just smells like straight up ass! Everything was clean because after you workout you are handed a sanitize wipe to wipe the machines down. I can’t wait to do this again because I need to get my core stronger. I recommend this to every momma out there because I know after kids, out core is so weak and torn from childbearing, but I strongly believe this will help strengthen it! Such a positive vibe at this studio! ENJOY!!!

This place is amazing. Great total body workout that leaves you sweaty and shaking at the end of every session. I do it all, pilates, combo and spin classes and am never disappointed! Most of my classes are taught by Deana and Stacey and they are incredible. Great energy and always paying close attention to everyone’s form and proper technique. Love the owner Claudia and am so happy she introduced me to this form of pilates! I used to think Pilates was easy until she introduced me to her studio. I couldn’t have been more WRONG! Now I can honestly say that this is one of the few workouts that I actually look forward to doing everyday! Yes, it’s tough as hell, but you will definitely see results if you come on a regular basis and work through the burn.

I cannot say enough great things about this place. I was looking for a nice private studio and Pilates Plus Cycle blew my socks off. I mainly take classes from Stacey, Lauren and Deanna and all three have such high energy. They have supported me as I learn the basics and have all been so welcoming. I highly recommend anyone to try this place. Its one of the best workouts!

Just finished up my two week class and just signed up for the monthly! I’ve only gotten to try the pilates classes because there’s always a waitlist for the combo+ classes :(so far, I do love the classes! It’s working out all the muscles I didn’t even know existed. Usually when I work out, I’d feel the «soreness» 1 day later, but here… I’d feel it kicking in maybe 2 – 3 hours after my class (which is awesome). The instructors are great. I’ve only worked with Lauren & Stacey so far but they’re fantastic! I’m a total beginner/​noob who hardly ever works out and when I’m here, they make you feel totally welcome and comfortable. At my first class I had NO IDEA what I was doing, let alone even know what the instructors were talking about. I felt like i was the ¹⁄₉ people who had no idea which poses were which but luckily, lauren and stacey patiently showed me what to do. As for results, I’ll update that when I start attending more frequently and consistently! :) but everything is so far, so good.

I signed up for one of their holiday specials (12 classes for $ 159) while on holiday vacation in California, which lasted me abundantly during the three weeks I was visiting. This was a significant deal considering that other locations in DC (where I currently live) would have costed me over $ 350 for 12 classes. Most importantly, the combination classes of Pilates and cycle were so perfect for the strength conditioning I needed to start and the cardio I needed to maintain! I lost a good 5 lbs while toning up my body during these 3 weeks, without restricting my holiday diet much. ;) I always walked out of class drenched in sweat, exhausted, and rejuvenated all at the same time. That’s when you know this is doing your body good! Furthermore, megaformer pilates will be a brutal test to your muscular strength. I thought for someone active that goes to the gym 3−4x a week this would have been a breeze, it was a reality call to how I’ve been neglecting strength conditioning. You’ll get a sense of how much you’ll need to train to truly become stronger. And as you become stronger, you’ll feel the transformative difference in your well being.
Additionally, the class instruction was always so energizing, constructive, challenging, & accommodating. Especially due to my favorite instructor, Deanna! I particularly liked her music selection that got you grooving when blasted. The studio itself is hip and clean, all essential to mentally preparing yourself for a fun environment to get fit! I’m going to miss my combination classes and can’t wait to return for more classes the next time I’m in CA! Thank you Pilates + Cycle!

I’ve been coming here for over a year and I love it. I usually try to go at least 4 days a week and over time I’ve noticed a huge difference in my body and how I feel and look in my clothes.
My favorite classes are the Combo +. It’s 30 minutes of mega former Pilates and 20 minutes of spin on the stationary bikes. You get the resistance training and cardio!!! It’s an all over workout in 50 minutes.
My favorite trainers are Claudia (the owner) and Deanna and for spin classes Eric is great and will keep you moving. Check out this great studio in old town orange and shake! Sweat ! Repeat!

I started to go to Pilates Plus Orange shortly after it opened a year ago. I loved it! You get the maximum exercise output within a hr. The results were great-​I was losing inches but also getting stronger! Unfortunately, I moved and wasn’t able to attend. Luckily, I’m back to Orange so I’m back to the studio. It does have some changes-they’ve added bikes for spinning. I’m not much of a spinner but heard nothing but great stuff on the cycle & pilates+cycle classes. There are a bunch of new trainers and they’re all so great!
The only hang up is I wish they had more 7am Pilates classes & the price is a tad bit high for me. The classes after work gets filled fast and I sometimes work late so I rather work out at 7am before work. Please add some more 7am classes.
