Pilates Plus Pacific Beach

Couldn’t be happier wth my first few experiences here. My first class was with coach Mike and he made sure to take the time to teach me all about the machine and make sure I had proper form the whole way through. I play a D1 sport train very hard at gyms like Orangetheory and just needed to switch up my routine to make sure my body never gets comfortable! Trying to get graduation dress ready and I couldn’t be more stoked on my new member unlimited package! I’m planning on coming Monday-​Saturday at least once a day!

I love this studio. I was looking for a mega reformer studio close by and happened to see this one in my neighborhood. It’s an amazing workout in 45 min which works out perfectly on mornings before work. All the instructors have been challenging but encouraging and also have a really good calming way of leading the classes. I would consider myself pretty fit and in shape and I never leave the studio without a sweat and a good soreness from getting my muscles worked.
I go to Nicole and Mike just based on timing and they’re both fantastic. My only preference for Nicole is for the music selection :)

I have been going to a few pilates studios around town and this has been the best thus far! I love the machines, they are amazing!
MIKE is the best! He is literally the only teacher who I have taken at PPPB and elsewhere who is actually ENCOURAGING. I teach fitness elsewhere and we work to keep the talk positive and try to avoid the negative. It makes such a HUGE difference in my workout when the teacher is supportive rather than says «don’t do this» …“don’t do that” …it mentally and thus physically weighs you down. (pay attention and you will see!) MIKE also starts and ends perfectly on time and always mixes up the routine and keeps it challenging and offers upgrades and downgrades, and makes himself available to help at any moment.
My overall suggestion (at all pilates studios) is to step up the music! I prefer not to be lulled to sleep by quiet tunes that don’t motivate… the music may as well be turned off!

I love this studio! They have the best machines… I’ve tried other studios though the machines aren’t as good. Mike is great and fun… work my abs bad yesterday. Clean environment and fun atmosphere!

Thanks to this place I am hooked on SPX Pilates! It is such an amazing workout and it goes by so quickly! Its one of the few workouts I don’t have to drink a red bull before ;) The instructor are wonderful– great with offering modifications and correcting form. I can’t recommend this place enough! Mike, Bree, Nicky, Megan, Jade and Nicole are all fantastic :)

Awesome facility! Clean and organized. You can tell that this place really takes care of their equipment. The training staff (the 2 I met) was friendly and upbeat.
This was my first pilates class (thank you Fitn) and I was surprised how challenging it was. Mike, the trainer, was great. He gave me a quick crash course on the reformer which was very helpful. He didn’t ramble on like some trainers do. Short and to the point. During the class, Mike make rounds to ensure everyone was targeting the proper muscles. Great class, thanks Mike!
Overall great first experience! I will definitely be going back!

I have been coming here for months now and I absolutely love it. I was nervous to join this class and finally start a regular routine but I’m glad I did. For a long time my idea of a workout was getting on an elliptical for 15 — 20 minutes and calling it a day. After starting Pilates I finally started seeing results on my posture and muscle tone. I feel stronger now and better than ever.

I was new to the Reformer style of Pilates but Mike demoed everything & gave me pointers while keeping the pace for the rest of the class. His classes give you the perfect amount of push & form! Love the Pilates /​TRX combo classes!

Love Pilates Plus and the variety of classes they offer. It’s a quick 40 minutes because you are only in each position for a short period of time but boy does it work you out! Great, upbeat instructors make getting through the class fun! Wish they had a 7PM class but other than that no complaints here!

This pilates studio is top notch! I had never really done pilates before and all of the instructors were so wonderful and helpful. Always challenged and made sure I was doing the exercises correctly. Even got my boyfriend hooked on going to classes! Definitely worth checking out!

I’ve been coming to Pilates Plus for about three months now and this is definitely a kick ass work out. The class sizes are small and they are only 40 minutes long, (which is perfect because I get so bored in hour long classes). Every instructor is great and I can honestly see results just after a few months, especially more toning in my core and arms. Love this place.

Great workout and great instructors ! Went today for a challenge class held with Frankie V. Nicole was our instructor and kicked our butts. It’s a good soreness feeling like you have accomplished something!

A co-​worker convinced me to try a class here and I figured to $ 10, why not? I’ve done mat pilates before and wasn’t super impressed with the workout. I’ve done boxing, swimming and Body Pump classes for years so I figured this pilates class would be a piece of cake – wrong! This is by far one of the hardest (and most rewarding!) workouts I’ve done! The instructors are super nice & helpful during class. If you have 40 minutes and want a great workout, definitely check out Pilates Plus! I loved it so much I bought a monthly package the next day. I’ve started to incorporate it into my regular workout routine and after only a month I feel stronger :) I only wish they had locker rooms & showers so I could take a class and run off to work after.

I had my first class today and it as amazing. Its shorter then most Pilates classes Ive taken but the high tensity and burn will keep you happy that its only 40 minutes. I was definitely shaky and sweaty by the end. I can tell this work out is going to be a good one if I continue to come. Already signed up for my next one!

Pressed for time? Want an amazing workout? Got 40 minutes? Then come check out Pilates Plus in PB!!! You will definitely be sore the next day, if not that day! It’s a whole body workout (lower and upper body and core) and you will be sweaty by the end!

By far the best Pilates studio in pacific beach. I have been coming here for several months now and I absolutely love it. I have never been in better shape in the 20 some years I have been on this planet. I can’t wait to see where I can get in 6 more months!

I have now been working out at this studio for two years and the work-​outs remain fresh and invigorating. The work-​outs are balanced and seem to target every muscle. Upbeat music makes the work-​outs great fun! There are a variety of different classes and the different trainers each have their own styles, so classes never get repetitive. I recently had to have knee surgery and the surgeon credited my excellent quads to an easy recovery.
My favorite trainer is Nicole. She always pushes me to do better and corrects me if I am doing something incorrectly. But Mike, Heather and Kelsey are great as well. Great studio to both get in and stay in shape!

Want a great work-​out that leaves you feeling invigorated, stronger, & wanting more? Pilates Plus PB is such a gem of a place. It’s tucked away on the corner of Cass St. & Turquoise in a small business center. They have great trainers that offer you a balanced work-​out that targets every muscle from head to toe.
My favorite Pilates trainer at Pilates Plus PB is Nicole DeRosa. She is tough, but has a great upbeat attitude that encourages you to push yourself harder. After two weeks of taking her class, I can guarantee you will feel stronger. When I first took her class, my glutes, obliques, hamstrings, biceps, triceps & core was exceptionally sore and shaking by the end of the class.
I am a marathon runner & a yogi; however, this class was very challenging, which I love. I enjoy getting a good work-​out because I know:
1.) My money was worth it
2.) I feel stronger
3.) I leave the class feeling better!
If you are looking for a challenging workout that makes you sweat, encourages you to challenge your strength & muscle memory, while getting your money’s worth then PILATES PLUS PB is the place to go! :) Trust me, you will love it.

It started with a groupon in 03/​2011, and I have been a member ever since. I had never done pilates before this, and I really liked the SPX machine. They also offer a variety of classes: Booty Barre, TRX, and Piloxing in addition to the SPX Power Pilates.
Staff if friendly, attentive, and caring. Thought it is a group class, all of the instructors pay close attention to each student, constantly giving pointers on how to improve your practice and how to make the most out of each exercise. Each instructor has their own style, preferred moves and level of intensity.
The class of pilates itself is very fast paced, and it may take a couple of classes to get used to the pace and to recognize the name of the each move.
Booking a class can be challenging because all of their classes fill out fairly quickly. You also have to be very mindful of cancelling a class you’ve previously booked at least 12 hrs before the scheduled time, otherwise there is a $ 15.
Prices, seem to me, a bit high but I have found value in my membership. My body feels toned and I have gained strength in my core and in my legs. I have a 2 classes per week membership, and I am very pleased with my results.

I want to start out saying that I am absolutely in love with this workout, the endorphin kick that I get and the feeling of High after I am done is unmatched by any other workout known to man. I bought a package for myself and my Mom to try and get some extra motherly-​daughter bonding time over the weekend other than our casual weekend trips to the mall. Okay that was at least what I told my mother, my true intentions were to motivate her to do something different than gardening our back yard and walking the streets of Birdrock in the afternoon.
So I missed the Groupon deal that they did the first time around last year, and I felt I was suckered in to buying one of there full priced packages which I barely used. The holidays rolled in and we got busy, then came the end of the year and this place went all out crazy on their on-​line daily deals offerings! They ran a Groupon for couple days, then right after that a living social for a few more days and now all there classes are full and we can’t get in. (I have never given a 1 star, but in this situation there is case to be made)
There is no denying that daily deals will get people into the door and fill up your classes but like every marketing tool it has its own limits. I really think they over committed to all these on-​line deals and that made the classes full and pissed off there regular costumers. Its one thing to sell yourself cheap for Chinese noodles and its totally another thing for a high end workout like Pilates (I still do Pilates SPX here in LA during the weekdays, But I feel this studio really diluted this brand and made it look cheap).
When businesses are hurting for cash I am usually weary! They resort to all sort of methods to rally enormous numbers of people in, they go after buyers that are just looking for the next deal and chase off there regular and true client base. As for me, at 25 – 35 $/​class & a monthly unlimited this is not a purchase but an investment, an investment that went horribly bad!
