Power Pilates OC

I personally think this place is amazing. My friend and I each purchased a Groupon for 5 days and from the first day we took a class we were treated like regulars… Other places have a tendency of not allowing you to benefit from the class, more like a just look and learn sorta deal because you attend either a free session or are a Groupon buyer. These ladies put you right to work and also guide and correct your form. We both loved it so much that we decided to continue attending, the prices are also the lowest out here in the O.C. I have worked with a few ladies depending on the day, but I especially enjoy Sheela’s class, She is great and works with you.

Friendly. Welcoming. Warm. Personalized. Cheers – everyone knows your name. Power Pilates OC is a wonderful neighborhood Pilates studio that delivers. Fully equipped and small class sizes. Each instructor has their own flair and really cares.

I am also one who purchased a Groupon for this studio. I bought the Groupon because a good friend of mine takes classes here and she’s been raving about it to me for a long time. So I took the plunge and bought some classes. Full disclosure: I’ve never been on a reformer machine before. It took some getting used to, but I took my 5^th class this afternoon and I felt like I knew what I was doing. It helped that most instructors along the way were very aware of my new-​ness and helped me.
You do need some sort of sticky-​bottomed sock for the reformer. First class they let you take it barefoot, and because I had no idea about the sock requirement, that is what I did. I found some pretty slick socks on Amazon for cheap, and it’s worth it because then you look like you know what you’re doing with your cool socks. My first class was with Lisa, and thank goodness because she practically held my hand through the whole thing. She was an excellent instructor.
The workout is awesome! A full-​body workout is achieved in a very efficient manner. The studio is small, with 6 reformers. There is also a mat pilates room which one of my instructors utilized for a warm up. Overall the place is clean and inviting. Towels are provided, showers are not. I believe there is a changing room, and there’s a bathroom. Overall I liked this studio, and I plan to be back with Classpass. Just make sure you reserve online… I had to call to figure out how to register for a class with my Groupon, and there are very specific instructions on the voicemail about what to do. Easy and I got signed up. If a class is full you can get on a «waitlist», which in my experience was successful once out of three attempts. There are regulars here that take up the evening classes, so register early if you want in.

Tried this studio with a 5 class groupon. It’s not too far from my work in Irvine and I was looking for a place where I could do lunch time Pilates. This place does a 45 min lunch time class so it fit the schedule perfectly.
I’ve only attended these afternoon classes, and there has been two different instructors. The more recent instructor is better than the other in my opinion, because she comes around to check people’s form and the other one really didn’t at all. She just kinda went through the motions like she was waiting to get outta there.
There’s only 6 reformers, so I like that you have smaller classes. Only thing is you have to sign up online otherwise they can fill up quickly.

Purchased a groupon and wanted to redeem before it expires. I’ve been leaving messages for weeks… not days but weeks. Groupon tried to get them to call back. No luck. Not even groupon could have these folks budge.

I love this studio! Great instructors, that know how to work with all skill levels. Lisa, the owner, runs a professional studio, while still taking the time to treat each member as a unique guest. The intimate space houses 6 Stot reformers & 6 Balance Body spring boards. No 2 classes are the same & the instructors are both motivating & challenging! Many class times available to choose from. I can’t say enough about this studio!

Highly recommend… we left private lessons for these group lessons and couldn’t be happier. It’s a full hour of non-​stop action! Well priced, great location in old Tustin and a great on-​line presence. You can make all your appointments on-​line and they offer plenty of classes throughout the week that would suit any schedule.
Try it!

The owner of this business was a former instructor at the now defunct Push Pilates. She is wonderful as are all the instructors. I discovered Pilates about a year ago and am a major fan. They use actual reformers at this location (as opposed to mat pilates). There are 6 machines so class size is limited to that number of clients. Sign up is on line. Would recommend!
