Poway Pilates

Continuing in the vein of it’s either a 5 star or 1 star review for me… Poway Pilates is a high 5 review! The classes have something to offer to every fitness level. The beginning /​intermediate classes can give an athlete in great shape a hard workout while seamlessly adapting same class for newcomer or even someone who has to modify for a certain body part injury. I love how Sarah is able to accommodate my shoulder weakness with substitute pilates exercises while giving the strongest in the class an excellent workout. I really appreciate that Sarah does not draw too much attention to individuals while she does this. Sarah is constantly reminding her class the correct breath pattern as well as what the proper body mechanics are for each exercise. Pilates is a whole body workout and each of the instructors are great.

I love everything about Poway Pilates! Everyone is so helpful and know how to motivate me:)
I certainly belong here :)
You must try if you want to get toned and fit!

I’ve been taking classes at Poway Pilates for 2 months. Several months ago, I bought Groupon vouchers for the pilates class at 3 different studios near Carmel Mountain Ranch. After I took classes, I decided to take the unlimited class at Poway Pilates. First of all, the instructors are very kind and nice, definitely professional. Each instructor has own signature style and I truly love all the classes. Actually, I didn’t like any kinds of exercise but now pilates is my favorite thing and my body is getting flexible, slim, strong!

I have been going to Poway Pilates for several years and have never been in such good shape. Each instructor has their own style and are all fantastic. I really enjoy the Barre and Kettlebell classes in addition to the Pilates!

The BEST place to get AND stay in shape. Poway Pilates is MY place to focus, relax, challenge myself and leave smiling. This is the best place to get in shape, gain flexibility, balance and core stability… and it is great rehab. You also gain personal confidence! I was a runner and have many injuries but with the support of ALL the trainers my pain is minimal and I am happy and fortunate to be a member at Poway Pilates. The trainers are experts who continue to challenge you regardless if you are a beginner or advanced student. Thanks to all Poway Pilates trainers for your professionalism and always challenging me!

I love Poway Pilates and adore the instructors. They are personable knowledgeable and change things up to keep classes fresh. The studio is basic but clean and the classes are small so you get individualized attention when you need it. The reformer workout is fun and engages all your muscles at once with a combination of core work, strength and balance. I don’t care who you are or what your fitness level is you will feel the burn and get results. The hour goes by super fast and leaves you longing for more.

I have been going to Poway Pilates for approximately 1 ½ years. I have never been able to stick to a fitness program in the past. I love the classes offered! The instructors are experienced and caring. Recently began the Barre Class and definately feel the difference. I would recommend Poway Pilates!

I’ve been taking classes here for over 5 years and I LOVE it! All of the instructors are great — both friendly and knowledgeable. I always leave a class feeling better than when I walked in. I would totally recommend Poway Pilates!

I love Poway Pilates! Everyone there is kind and caring. They know what they’re doing and they help everyone adjust and succeed. I’m amazed at the benefits Pilates has given me already and I’ve only been there a little over a month. I only wish I’d started sooner.

I bought the groupon for a month of classes. And I have to say, as a business owner myself, I am not a groupon lover. However, I’m so pleased my friend talked me into trying. I love Poway Pilates. I have taken different classes over the month and have to honestly say, the 5 stars are particularly for Ty. She is an amazing instructor that focuses on both the classes strengths & weaknesses with just the right resistance on the reformers. She is very personable and connects with her class. I will continue to visit this facility and look forward to getting into shape with Pilates.

A few months ago I started my Pilates classes again after my hip operation. All the instructors are great, I had Jen and Gill and both are wonderful. My new instructor Sarah is great too. She gives me careful instructions for my level and always happy to help with anything I need.
Thank you Sarah!

Nice instructors, but the classes fell short for me (sorry). I tried several different types of classes and instructors. Every class started late and more than a few minutes late. There were only a few things that were challenging at all and slow transitions. It was more like stretching in most cases which may be perfect for some people. I signed up for the classes that weren’t beginner to avoid that. With small classes like this, I expected more.

I went to Poway Pilates when I was on in the San Diego area for work. I took a group pilates class from Sam along with a group kettlebell class taught by Jennifer. The classes were great and so were both Sam and Jennifer. Both teachers were very focused on form when performing specific movements which was fantastic. When doing any sort of functional movement its key that your form is correct such that you can (1) benefit most from the movement and (2) avoid injury.
Next time I have another work trip to SD I plan on returning for sure.

Prior to coming to Poway Pilates, I may have tried one pilates class somewhere else, way back when, but was essentially a complete beginner when I came here. I work late so I always took Jill’s Monday or Wednesday classes at 6:30. I have the flexibility of a 60yr old and was concerned I would not be able to do the exercises but Jill was very helpful and most importantly, would correct my posture/​form if needed. Although it was apparent I was the newbie in each class, I never felt embarrassed and always felt great after the work out. Unfortunately, I am currently recovering from surgery and am unable to go to classes for the time being.
BTW, don’t forget to spray and wipe down your equipment after class and I recommend purchasing the socks with grips (they have grips to put on the equipment if you want to go barefoot or prefer to use your own socks). This is a great place for anyone interested in trying out reformer pilates.

It’s very simple, If you’re looking for a place for a good workout with very knowledgeable instructors, this is the place to go.

I am absolutely in love with Poway Pilates! I love the pilates reformers so much, they are the best thing ever! I use to have a lot of back pain because of the type of work that I do, and this is the only thing that has ever really helped. Everyone here is so friendly, and they all really know their stuff. Jennifer is amazing at pushing you and doing some great leg work! I also love Angela as well, she is great at that pelvic floor work! I really can’t say enough about this studio. It’s such an amazing workout that isn’t too intimidating, but still very effective.

Angella & Jennifer are both very knowledgeable & enthusiastic about Pilates. I enjoy their classes & appreciate how they individualize classes for each participant.

Jennifer is an experienced instructor who cares about your health and well being! Through private 1 hour sessions, she helped me come back from a serious arm and elbow break which required 3 hrs. of surgery and 8 months of physical therapy. I was able to continue the strengthening of my arm after the physical therapy and have been in the best shape I’ve ever been in my life since I started working with Jennifer 2.5 years ago! I highly recommend Poway Pilates.

Love, Love, Love Poway Pilates. I am returning to the work out world after several major injuries & surgeries… jennifer provides instant modifications and I still get an amazing work out. I feel great when I leave a reformer class and I feel even better when I go back! I highly recommend Poway Pilates to anyone in the area… they are worth making a drive if you live outside of Poway!

Jennifer is fantastic as an instructor. She is knowledgeable with how the body should move and how to help you attain more flexibility for the parts that aren’t functioning correctly. I started at her studio because I had hip pain, but eventually she showed me why the problem was there and encouraged me to go to physical therapy. She will either try to help you or recommend what the best approach is. That to me is someone with integrity. She cares about your health. I can’t wait to go back.
