Vida Pilates La Jolla

Great studio, highly recommend! Very inviting studio with small class sizes and clean/​new equipment. They offer many classes a day and the timetables are very convenient!
Ana is such an amazing instructor! She corrects everyone’s form and tailors the session to everyone’s needs. Great workout, she always pushes me to improve with each session. She’s always engaged throughout the sessions and her classes are far from boring!

I am really glad that I found VIDA Pilates, the studio is full with amazing teachers. My personal favourite teachers are Cris and Marin, their classes are always different, challenging and they help correct your form throughout the whole class so you can do the exercises right.
The location of the studio is perfect and the studio itself is always clean!
Also the timetable of the classes is great and offers a lot of opportunities!
There are 8 reformers, which still gives you a intimate feeling ever the class is fully booked!
I really recommend Vida Pilates and look already forward to my next class :-)

LOVEEEEE VIDA!
Vida Pilates is a great studio full of amazing teachers! My personal favorite instructors are Cris and Marin, they are so informative & they play the BEST music. They’re so hands-​on and really help correct your form throughout the whole class so you can do the exercises right. All the classes are fun and the teachers really motivate you to get a good workout in and you always leave feeling great. Good posture, fit body, strong core and good breathing all comes with Vida!!!

I have had a few different instructors and I have really enjoyed each of them. The studio is cute, clean, and close to my house. Even though it is right on busy Pearl Ave, there is alway parking close by. The reformers are new and in great shape, and are the same kind Kardashians work out on ;) love this place!

I love this place. The bootybarre class is my favorite! Cris is so fun and wonderful!!!

So happy to hear that now I can use Vida Pilates La Jolla and Vida Pilates UC with my membership, Thank you! The classes offer so much variety and the instructors are amazing at what they do and so supportive. It’s a great place to learn pilates, barre, matt or zumba. I highly recommend Vida Pilates to anyone who wants to get a great work out and get healthier and meet a great group of people.

LOVE this place!
This is the first reformers class I’ve taken and Jennifer knows her stuff!
I could never go back to regular Pilates after taking a reformer class.
The location is great, it’s super clean & smells of fresh coffee if you take a morning class.
It’s not too if which makes the class very intimate and you almost feel like you’re getting a personal lesson.

Today was my first reformer class. Loved it!
Instructor gave me alternatives for my injured shoulder so I was able to get a great workout. Small class size is great for beginners!

I absolutely adore this place! Every instructor is sweet, nice and attentive. Plus the studio is adorable! I started going 2 times a week and am already seeing result in about 3 weeks. Definitely kicking my booty in a fun way! I highly recommend coming!

Marianna was my instructor and she was AWESOME! I am very new to Pilates and she constantly gave me good advice. I felt so satisfied with my workout and my body afterwords because she gave me positive encouragement that kept me going but never made me feel like I couldn’t take a break if my body needed it! I felt like I had a personal trainer because she always walked around, correcting form and being enthusiastic towards us all.
If you enjoy pilates this is a great place to go! I felt like this session had a wider variety of exercises than the past few studios I have tried this week. The instructors also care a lot about their clients — they treat each person as an individual with different injuries and needs and cater to that. AND they have a little coffee station in the corner… I felt very comfortable and welcomed here. Look forward to going back!

Love their classes… really great instructors and a very nice studio

Adorable little studio. Mariana was the instructor and she was very personable and friendly. I liked how the set-​up allowed a lot of light in and the machines were in good condition. Parking was easy and the studio is only a short walk from the beach. Such a cute little gem in La Jolla.
Plus I’m still sore from the workout this morning. Always a good thing.

I have been going to pilate studios on and off for a little over 2 years, I followed one of my favorite instructors (Mariana) to Vida. Pilates at Vida is unlike any of the studios I’ve been too. The instructors are all amazing! Vanessa is so inspiring and pushes you to accomplish your goals! I started with a groupon deal and ended up buying a 6 month unlimited membership. I am getting married in 5 days! I got the membership to help get me in shape. In 2 in a half months I’ve lost 15 pounds! They accommodate to injuries with modifications in every exercise.
I can’t say enough good things about Vida Pilates Studio, I highly highly recommend them.
You will leave each class feeling amazing, everyone is so supportive so don’t be nervous if your new to Pilates, I was new once too. Pilates becomes an amazing addiction.

I have been taking Pilates for many years, and pretty much tried every studio in San Diego. Vida Pilates stands out for providing extremely personalized services, starting with their management. They have returned all my calls and emails right away.
I LOVE all instructors at Vida, they have designed a special work out just for me and my body has completely changed.
I would recommend Vida to anyone who’s looking for great Pilates studio and very professional instructors!!!

Don’t be alarmed if they put up a brb sign that says 5:30pm. They will be back on time if you have a class soon.
I really enjoyed my pilates class there! Mariana was wonderful and I felt very comfortable with her. It took me a little while to get used to the reformer but she was very supportive!
I also got a great deal on Groupon so I can try it out before I commit to paying a good amount every month! I think they have ~$ 200 for 6 month unlimited and other class options! That’s a really great deal if you do it at least 2 times a week! It’s only 55 minutes out of your busy day and it’s always nice to meet new friends!
It was a great workout! I can’t wait to go back! :)
I feel a lot better about myself even though I feel so sore the next day!

Vida Pilates is amazing!
Cris & Mariana are really awesome people who care about their clients! It feels great to have such positive energy when you are working hard! Both instructors have a great way of catering to each individual. They remember you and will adapt the machine, correct your form, etc. It’s the extra care that makes the difference in a group pilates class!
The studio is always super clean and organized. Also-​Vida has a clothing line! The pants are really flattering and come in fun prints (people always compliment my leggings) :) It’s pretty much like wearing cute spanx!
They also have a new teen class, which I think is a cool service to offer and can’t be found anywhere else.

I came as a guest of a member to one of the reformer group classes. The facility is very clean and organized and the reformers seem new. There were only 3 of us in the class. Tami, the instructor, was okay… She had a low energy level and didn’t offer much enthusiasm or motivation as we are trying to hold certain positions for 60 seconds. Also, there wasn’t a lot of variability in the muscles targeted (it was mostly abs, quads, and hip adductors). It would have been nice to get a little more glut or hip abductor work in the mix. Overall it was a good experience. I think I’ll go with a different instructor next time.

I live just down the street and got a groupon for this place a while back and am finally using it. I love it! The first class I went to was abs and buns and it kicked my butt in the best way. After that I took cardio and again enjoyed it but I think the studio needs a fan just to circulate the air but people have different feelings about that. Then finally I took Reformer Essentials and it was seemed so easy compared to the other types of classes.

Booty barre! Loved that class!
I normally don’t like barre but when it’s incorporated with the reformer, it’s not so bad. I’ve been to Barre Body in PB and comparatively, you’re working your buns off without overusing the same muscles and I’m not going to have giant calves post workout!
This class seems to lengthen/​lean the thighs + calves and plump the toosh.

Tonight I fully realized the power of the JUMP BOARD!
I have been to probably over 50 reformer pilates classes at a handful of studios over the last few years, and I’ve never had a class that I felt fully took advantage of the jump board, a broad, flat accessory that is placed on the footbar of the reformer and allows you to add in jumping, running, hopping, etc. into your workout. I’ve found that reformer classes, at least at the beginner or advanced beginner levels, usually incorporate the jump board for a small portion of the workout to add in a cardio element. Reformer classes tend to focus on strength training and flexibility, and while this is why I do reformer classes, sometimes I really want a blood-​pumping sweaty workout.
At Vida Pilates tonight, instructor Laura in the Cardio Reformer class had us use the jump board for the ENTIRE hour-​long class. It was probably the most fun I’ve had at a reformer pilates studio, and it was even an adrenaline rush! I’ve definitely never sweated so much at a reformer class, as often I leave these classes tired from an extensive muscle workout but not actually sweating. I absolutely love this cardio class at Vida Pilates, and it gets me excited to be doing reformer pilates again! The extra bonus at Vida Pilates is all the NEW equipment — reformer machines, jump boards, weights, balls, magic circle, etc.
I’m currently using a 7-​class Groupon package and have tried three different instructors, including Tara and Marianna (both for Reformer Essentials). I definitely encourage new clients of Vida Pilates to try out the different classes and instructors as each has their own style and favorite routines. I like that Vida Pilates seems especially geared toward beginners, whereas it’s not uncommon for other studios to require private lessons prior to joining a group class. Those who are more advanced can easily make minor modifications to increase the intensity of the workout.
Vida Pilates also is a bit more affordable. Even though I’m an existing customer I just purchased a flash deal directly from the studio (limited to the first 50 clients) where I got ten classes for $ 99. I love reformer pilates, but have found that other studios can get pretty expensive ($ 30+ per class) outside new client specials.
SIDE NOTE: Parking is not too much a problem, as the building has its own parking lot. The studio also offers towels, coffee, water, and snacks!
