Club Pilates Encinitas

Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. Our interpretation of physical fitness is the attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind fully capable of naturally, easily, and satisfactorily performing our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure. — Joseph Pilates
Joseph Pilates was a true trailblazer and his methods and messages have not only transcended time, they are recognized as the platinum standard in the industry. The Pilates name is synonymous one of the hottest fitness trends of the 21^st century. Club Pilates offers group classes based on these practices using equipment like reformers, springboards, Pilates chairs and magic rings. I love to supplement my regular workouts with well designed functional movement. Pilates challenges the mind and coupled with breathing techniques helps to develop a more functional, hotter body.
Some of the classes are so challenging that I feel ready to crash, but the motivating instructors coupled with looking at all of the hard bodies in the studio keeps me moving. It is so worth it and after only 50 minutes I leave feeling successful.
I highly recommend Club Pilates, each of the instructors that I have met have great energy and knowledge to give a fun, safe workout. I like to mix things up so the biggest challenge for me is scheduling a class before they fill up. I have started reserving my classes a few days in advance now, and that keeps me on track. If you have not tried Club Pilates then don’t delay! You will love the way that the poses transform your body.

I am obsessed with Club Pilates! I do all kinds of work outs from yoga to weights and this one kicks my butt every time! I love Rachel’s glute class, she is by far my favorite teacher. Her abs class is awesome too. The fact the classes are only 50 min. makes them prefect. I highly recommend checking out their beginner classes if you are new and the 2 and up if you want a hard work out!

Been here a few times. Some of the equipment is too close together and that makes for some uncomfortable encounters with my fellow ‘mates, that’s the main thing I’m not a fan of. I do like most of the instructors and of course, the pricing is terrific. I’m still checking out other studios, but if you are shopping for a pilates studio, you should definitely check this one out. Not much to complain about = pretty dang good!

Love this studio. I have taken pilates at a few different places and this is by far my favorite. Rachel is a great teacher. Anne is great and keeps you entertained the whole time. Even if it was thanksgiving and she talked about food the whole time and you want to kill her, it was a great workout :) Sad that I don’t live as close to it anymore, but will definitely make the trek to go often.

Great Studio!
Rachel and Steph are awesome instructors!
Very affordable and varied classes! Great Music too! Starting see a real real difference in my body after just one month

Love this studio and particularly my classes with Jenny. She is the consumate professional!

I’ve been coming to club Pilates for 2 years and I love it! Class prices are always affordable and the owner is extremely accommodating and very quick in responding to all questions. All the class types offered are great– as are most of the instructors. Rachel is the standout instructor for me and she’s the one I try and book with as much as possible. She is friendly and professional– and clearly knows her stuff. All her classes are challenging and she is constantly changing it up so we don’t get bored and always offers tons of options for multiple level classes. Check her out if you want an instructor who is consistent, super fun and knowledgeable!

LOVE this studio!!! I’ve loved Pilates for a while, but have typically only done Groupon specials in the past because it can get expensive to do regularly. Until I found Club Pilates Encinitas! Now I’m getting in to the studio as often as my schedule allows me to, and it has done WONDERS for my body!
Instructors are great, classes have a ton of variety. I’ve never done the same class twice. And they’re incorporating new props which is fun! Only great things to say here. I love it so much I signed up for their teacher training program, which is also amazing! :)

By far the best Pilates experience ever. The classes are always amazing and you can adjust as needed regardless if you are in a level 1 or 2 class. Rachel is my favorite coach and definitely kicks your butt every time! I will definitely keep coming back as long as they are in business and I can find parking ;)

Can’t say enough about Club Pilates in Encinitas! Love the studio, love the instructors (especially Rachel and Janica) and love the way each class is different. The instructors do something new and different each class so that your muscles don’t get used to the same exercises. I’ve been going since June and I’m still finding it fun and challenging. The specials they run make it affordable on my budget as well.

I started doing pilates here in March and absolutely love it! With regular attendance (at least 2x per week) you feel the difference in terms of strength and flexibility.
They have many different instructors, so it’s just a matter of finding one that is right for you — I’ve liked all the instructors I’ve had, but some just click more than others. Great personal attention and emphasis on form– so important so you can actually learn and improve. The instructors invest in who their clients are and can help tailor exercises and know when to push you farther. I’m now a pilates convert!
It’s in downtown Encinitas, so just be sure to allow yourself some time to park.

Really like this studio and most of the instructors. Jenni is my most commonly booked instructor, but her popularity makes it increasingly difficult to ever get into a class of hers. Sad face!
They always seem to have class packages and specials going on to make Pilates more attainable & affordable, which is great!
Dislikes:
1. 24 hour cancellation policy. I understand having a cancellation, but 24 hours is excessive. 12 hours would be sufficient time to cancel & allow time for others on the wait list to be added. Also, the reminder email usually conveniently goes out after the 24 hour window has lapsed. It just seems a smidge much, especially since the class sizes are so limited & if you late cancel & someone else was on the wait list, they are getting double paid from your cancel & the other person who actually shows.
2. I started going in the holiday season & I didn’t realize that come January so many of the regulars would have their classes booked out for multiple weeks at a time, that I wasn’t able to get into the classes I had so easily been booking for November & December. I would love to go more often, but the availability at the times I can go is just slim to none.

I have been a Pilates fan for years. I even thought of teaching it, but I have a busy enough schedule already, anyway my gym only offers mat Pilates which is not the same as Pilates with the machines. Ive looked into better fitness centers, but the Pilates classes with the Reformer machines are never included. This place is awesome and so affordable compared to taking private classes at some of the other higher end fitness centers! Clean organized and I like their on-​line system of registering too! Great that they offer it at different levels to match my own current fitness level (yeh!) I like that they are a chain so if I want to try out different locations or instructors to tweak my routine all the better! I liked the casual yet very friendly and professional manner of the instructor I had here.

Love, Love, Love this place. Every teacher I have has been outstanding. I have always wanted to do pilates but the price per class was always way out of my price range. I am so thankful for club pilates for making pilates accessible for us normal folk.
My post two pregnancy body needed some help, and after over a year of doing pilates twice a week (and running a couple days a week) my body is back!

Biggest strength of CPE — far and away — is the price. Can’t beat it, for access to high quality equipment like the reformer and chair; and for well qualified instructors. Instruction quality is everything for Pilates and even the relatively less gifted instructors at CPE are better than good instructors just about anywhere else!
Minus one star for the equipment being placed too close together (need to coordinate with neighbors for a few of the exercises like arm circles). Minus half a star for it being tough for instructors to give highly personalized attention in the Big Room classes, given maximum capacity of 10 students.
On balance … an excellent Pilates business which I strongly recommend, rounding up to four stars. And I totally understand the tradeoff between large class sizes and equipment crowding, with low prices. Am glad they’ve erred on the side of low prices, making Pilates an accessible workout option for more people.

I’m a newbie to pilates this year, but I’ve already gone to over ten classes and I love it!!! I love how everyone gets a reformer, it’s cheap and they have specials all the time, and you can have a large class or a smaller more intimate class. I love that they have different paced classes (Level 1, Level 2, and Cardio).
Excellent!!!

I have only been coming to Club Pilates for a short time (since about the first of the year to be exact) but I am completely and totally in awe of this place. I had never taken a Pilates Reformer class before because in the past they were so costly. Club Pilates makes this wonderful method attainnable to anyone — the pricing is great! It’s super affordable! I’ve done lots of exercise in my life, and nothing, NOTHING comes close to this. It’s such an effective workout, all while being gentle on your body, keeping you from injury. That’s important to me. I tend to get hurt a lot. Like, more than average people. It must be genetic or something. So yeah, Pilates on the Reformer is definitely where it’s at for me. I’m hooked for life. I am so excited that I finally found my «thing»
On to the studio itself. It’s clean, well kept and easy to get to. All the instructors I’ve had so far have been so amazing and welcoming. Even the clientele has been so friendly and helpful for a noob like myself. Good vibes abound in this place, and that is *so* important to me; especially in an enviornment where I go to improve my mind as much as my body. Polar opposite of a different studio I tried recently, but I won’t mention names *cough**bodyrok**cough.
I’m happy I found this place and that they are adding MOAR studios throughout San Diego. Check it out. You’ll be glad.

Tried this place on a whim thanks to a Groupon– and wow, what a life-​changer. That sounds dramatic but totally true, I’m going to do reformer pilates for the rest of my life now! Not only does it make me look better, but going twice a week has pretty much eliminated my scoliosis-​related chronic back pain. And because of them constantly telling me to «get my shoulders out of my ears», that phrase now runs though my head as I hunch at a desk all day, reminding me to work on my posture.
The studio is clean and nice, the teachers are very personable and helpful. You don’t have to worry about doing a move wrong because they will adjust you! Arielle and Alexis will kick your ass– I sweat in their classes just as much as when I take spin, and it’s awesome. Jenny explains what each move does to your joints, which makes you really think about what your body is doing and what improvements are happening as you work. Melody also does a really good workout– I’ve never not had crazy oblique pain the day after her class!
Short story, this place is great and because they offer bulk class discounts, you can get classes at $ 10 each, which is a total deal and something even a budget-​y girl like me can justify.

I have never taken Pilates before so this experience was new to me. The studio was clean, bright, and cheery. The instructors were welcoming.
I took the Stretchilates class and Alison was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, relatable, and helpful. She made me feel extremely comfortable doing something that was out of my comfort zone. I found parking on the street right away. The time flew right by and I can’t wait to try another class.
