Pilates by the Bay

Pilates by the Bay is a booty, abs, legs, core, back factory. I get the most insane workout when I do a session here. The movements are simple, but effective. I always sweat from the workout, feel like my posture has improved tremendously and my muscle imbalance is about 80% less with regular sessions over the past year.
I even discovered that I *still* lock my knees out when I stand, thanks to my trainers~!
I train in a small group, but I see people training with individual sessions, too. Men and women, both. Varied fitness levels. I keep seeing the same people each week so something they are doing is working. THANKS Pilates by the Bay! My booty is not the same without you!!!

Aulani is without doubt one of the most talented and qualified pilates instructors out there. I was looking for a class that might help me with my back issues. She designed a program that gave me more strength and flexibility than I’ve ever had in my life, and my back felt better in just a few weeks than it had in YEARS. Without question, if you are considering pilates to improve your health, this is the place to go. Worth EVERY penny.

I discovered Pilates by the Bay approx 4 or 5 years ago when I was suffering from excruciating low back spasms. I had been working with a chiropractor and massage therapist who were able to get me moving, but both agreed a strong core would help me see more improvement. Aulani was awesome! She was very respectful and responsive to my physical limitations and the mental ones I had placed on myself due to the years of living w/​severe pain. Thanks to her I was able to do many Pilates moves that I thought would not be physically or mentally possible for me. And when Aulani felt I should be challenged further, she turned me over to Jacinto, who is an absolute joy to work with. By the end of each session with Jacinto I was usually exhausted and dripping with sweat. Jacinto was also able to get me to do more advanced Pilates positions that I did not think were possible for me. I even had a major mental breakthrough with him and lost a lot of my «fear» which allowed me to advance further. I attribute my freedom from pain to my core therapy team thinking outside the box and both Aulani and Jacinto did that for me. Yes, Pilates by the Bay is a tad on the expensive side, but definitely well worth the price if you are looking for specialized attention.

I took my daughter for a class. We both like it, we had a great workout!

Contrary to what the other person said I got more than my $ 100 worth, great workouts and am still doing Pilates by the Bay.

rip-​off. do not buy the 5 classes for $ 100 deal — you get no workout for those classes they are more or less an evaluation. and the instructor is not available at convenient times as she has another business.
for me it was a total waste of money.

I started pilates with Aulani a couple years ago after a really down time in my life. I went to her 2 times a week… the best thing I ever did for myself! Not only did I see results, which never seems to happen with me, but it was beyond therapeutic. The intense breathing, stretching, and workout was the best thing I could have done for myself. I have tried other pilates classes and I was disappointed every time. If you want someone who gets to know you and what your body is capable of and wants to see success as much as your do, Aulani is your girl!
