★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I have done Pilates for years, and Body Design is hands-down my favorite Pilates studio in California!! All of the instructors are incredibly well-trained & knowledgeable. I also love that the studio offers a full roster of Cadillac & Chair classes (such an amazing, rare benefit), and each Reformer is fully equipped with the cutting-edge Konnector system. Body Design’s owner is an extremely talented Physical Therapist, and also a master of both Gyrotonic & Pilates. The movement offerings at Body Design really are unmatched, and there is truly something for everyone: from those going through injury rehab to high level athletes.
September 26 · Dawn McDonaldIf there was a list of “Top 10 most beautiful pilates studios in the world”, Body Design would be on it. If you want to experience the Pilates method with top-level instructors in a bright, beautiful space, this is your place. BD has tons of classes from early morning to evening, so if you become a member, you can be sure to find something that works with your schedule.BD also has Cadillac and Chair classes— unique Pilates equipment typically used only in private lessons— and Gyrotonic classes— a beautiful movement method that mobilizes and strengthens the body in a holistic way.This studio has been around for years, it’s always growing but staying rooted in the true Pilates method. 🤍 I love it here so much.
April 30 · Katie SummersHad a wonderful class with Dawn. I had made a booking error and she was so courteous and understanding. It was one of the best classes I have ever had. It was a small class so she was able to correct my form so gracefully and we were able to do choreography I had never tried before. The instructor, the routine, the pace, the adjustments/modifications, the view were all perfect! Had such a wonderful class on a beautiful Sunday morning. Could not have asked for anything more.
April 08 · Cristina LanderosI was excited to finally try this studio but unfortunately the experience fell flat. My 6 PM Pilates class was canceled 3.5 hours before it was supposed to occur and I was asked via email if I wanted to switch to 5 PM as they were canceling my class. I responded yes within minutes, but never got a follow-up or confirmation.When I reached out again as I did want to take a class today and get booked, there was no reply and I later saw the class was full which must be why I wasn’t added. A heads-up or any kind of communication would’ve gone a long way. Disappointed with how it was handled. I did see some previous reviews of canceled classes with short notice so I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised.Update that I was able to take a different class later in the week. The workout was challenging and instructor was able to give me multiple corrections which I appreciated. Studio has a great view.
August 04 · Jennifer DoBefore joining the team at Body Design, I was a client for nearly two years—and I’ve had nothing but positive experiences. The staff is kind, attentive, and consistently creative with their programming. The workouts are thoughtfully designed to be challenging, yet always offer modifications for those who want to scale up or take it easier. If you haven’t tried a class at Body Design, you absolutely should! The reformer Pilates classes are incredible, and they also offer Strength + Sculpt sessions and personalized private training options.
