Body In Motion Pilates Studio

Beautifully kept studio with a knowledgeable set of trainers and instructors. The Barre classes that are offered here are the best around.

Love coming to Body in Motion when visiting my mom up north. Beautiful Pilates studio filled with BASI trained instructors. BASI trained are the best!

Wonderful Pilates studio. It is a small, intimate studio so clients receive very individualized attention. All of the instructors are great, but Ashley is absolutely phenomenal! Classes are conveniently scheduled throughout the day and the schedule is published on the studio’s website. The location is perfect, as it’s in a shopping center with a grocer, pharmacy, bank and dry cleaner. We are very fortunate to have this studio in Aptos!

I have been a private client for over a decade. I have had the most amazing experiences with all of my instructors thru the years BUT I must say that I am so thrilled to be working with Ashley. Her precision of movement, encouragement, and utter commitment to perfect form execution makes her an extraordinary teacher. How lucky am I to have her in my sphere!

I’m so happy I found Body in Motion! I recently moved back to the area and was having a difficult time finding a place that offers barre. It’s a bit of a drive to the studio but totally worth it.
I’ve never done pilates and decided to try the unlimited package that offers both barre and pilates. I’m seriously addicted and my body has never looked so good. The instructors are all amazing and are extremely helpful and knowledgable.
Because I work in the morning and afternoons, I can only make it to the 5/​6pm class. I hope in the future they can offer more late afternoon or evening classes :)

I took my first xtend barre stick class today and LOVED it! I’ve taken other barre classes in the San Jose area before but none of them were as dynamic, well balanced and fun as this class at Body in motion. It was challenging in a good way, included a lot of core work, elements from the Pilates apparatus and felt effective from the first to the last minute. The teacher, Sierrah, was friendly and very good with counting the music and giving the right cues. The studio is beautiful, light and clean. Will definitively go there again.

Quick update since Aubrie left… I have to say, Jenny P is a great replacement for Wed and Thursday nights! BUT, overall all the ladies do a spectacular job of keeping me motivated. The style is more of an athletic pilates. So, it is isn’t the slow paced watch the clock kind of classes.
Big Plus, they added new annual unlimited Xtend/​Mat packages that are wallet friendly.

I have been going to Body in Motion for about a month — Previously I went to a studio in San Francisco… Jenny Paxson has been leading most of my sessions and I appreciate her attention to detail and verbal cues.
If you are considering Pilates, I highly recommend a few private sessions first to ‘get it’
This is a great studio and its all about how you interact with the instructor… For me, I have found a great place to continue my practice.

Im going to start off saying I can’t say enough about Xtend Barre and Body in Motion. First off the instructors are INCREDIBLE!!! They are tough but make it fun at the same time. They welcome you with smiling faces, and when you have missed a week, they notice, they ask where you have been. You can’t get that anywhere else. They are good at what they do and in shows in the results that you see. I have done Cross Fit, and I have don’t personal training but Xtend Barre works the muscles that you didn’t know you had. I go 3 to 4 times a week and I am still sore each and every time. I crave coming to their classes, and when I miss one I feel guilty inside, It’s become an addiction. I recommend Body In Motion to everybody!!!

I first began attending private sessions at this studio about 8 months ago and, boy, have I gone through a transformation since then! I am deeply grateful for the care and attention that I have received from Taryn Buell and the other staff members. This is a classy place with extremely knowledgeable instructors. Truly, this experience has saved me from too many years of pain and instability. The increased strength has improved my confidence and peace of mind.
Who couldn’t use a little more of that?!
Thanks guys!

Extreme Barre class is an intense workout. Be prepared to work hard. Specials for new clients are unmatched. The trainers are friendly.

I was turned on to Body by a Groupon for $ 30 for 30 days. The studio is bright and airy and the instructors are all super sweet. Aubrie and Taryn’s classes are fast paced and fun. An hour goes by quick. I’ve only done the barre workouts but the other people seem really pleased with the Pilates classes. Day classes seem to fill up faster the evening but all in all, this is a great place. The only reason I took off a star is that they don’t really offer early or late classes. *They have a $ 30 for 30 day new membership program as well.

I just finished my first Barre class and I am instantly hooked! This was my first class at this studio and I have to say that I was greeted very warmly by Aubrie, I let her know I was a newbie and she walked me right through the class. Actually she pushed me hard and to my limits until I was dripping with sweat and loving every minute of it. I am very excited about my pilates mat class tomorrow!

Wonderful studio! Love the machines and love, love, love Taryn! She really helped me a lot during the group apparatus classes and was just incredible.
Unfortunately, I had to stop going because my old car died and I had to get a new one which meant car payments again so my pilates apparatus class money was no more :-(
Hope to get back in classes there soon :-)

Great Pilates studio! Walking in is very tranquil and relaxing already, however, the prices are a bit high– As much as I loved the apparatus classes, it is too pricey to keep going to long term, but perhaps I will continue with the mat classes. I also hear there is a waxing gal who is Queen of waxing, also, a bit pricey, like 30.00+ for just eyebrows. The gal I go to, used to work in a salon, but set up shop out of her house and is affordable, but darn good! And I have wanted to give the masseuse a try– maybe I should book that now :-)
