NICE Pilates Introduce
Welcome to NICE Pilates, a truly exceptional classical Pilates studio located in the vibrant city of San Francisco, California. For those in the Bay Area seeking a purposeful and effective fitness regimen, our studio offers an authentic and enriching experience that goes beyond the typical workout. Founded by Cassandra, a dedicated and knowledgeable instructor, NICE Pilates is built on the principles of traditional, classical Pilates, focusing on precision, control, and a deep mind-body connection. We provide a space where you can not only strengthen your body but also deepen your understanding of movement and wellness.
Our approach to Pilates is "no nonsense," as one customer so aptly put it. We believe that the true essence of Pilates lies in the quality of movement, not the number of repetitions. This philosophy ensures that you get a true workout and receive the authentic Classical Pilates knowledge from a team of instructors who genuinely care about your progress. The environment at NICE Pilates is designed to be supportive and focused. One of our most unique features, as highlighted by a satisfied client, is the absence of mirrors in our studios. This thoughtful choice encourages you to rely on proprioception and the expert corrections from our instructors, rather than being distracted by your reflection. This allows for a deeper and more meaningful practice, helping you to truly feel and understand each movement.
We have built a wonderful community of Pilates enthusiasts who are passionate about their practice. The small class sizes are a deliberate choice, ensuring that every individual receives immediate and personalized feedback on their form and technique. This constant correction and guidance are crucial for perpetual improvement and are a hallmark of our studio's commitment to excellence. As a result, our clients report significant and lasting benefits, from a decrease in injuries and faster recovery times to a newfound love for exercise. Our goal is to help you build a strong foundation for a healthier, more balanced life, and we are confident that you will find a workout you truly enjoy at NICE Pilates.
NICE Pilates is conveniently located at 412 15th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118, USA. This address places us in a charming and accessible neighborhood, making our studio easy to reach for residents of San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area. The studio's location is designed to be a peaceful retreat where you can focus on your practice without the distractions of a busy urban environment.
We are committed to making our studio accessible to everyone. Our facilities include both a wheelchair accessible entrance and a wheelchair accessible restroom, ensuring that all of our clients can navigate our space with comfort and ease. For those traveling by car, street parking is available in the vicinity, though it is always wise to allow extra time. Public transportation is also a great option, as the area is well-served by local bus routes, providing a convenient way to get to your appointment without the stress of driving.

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1This is a wonderful studio to learn and practice Classical Pilates! Cassandra has built a studio with amazing instructors, great vibes, and really excellent instructors. The equipment is always clean and working, and it’s very no nonsense. You get a workout and you get the Classical Pilates knowledge from people who care.
July 12 · Claire GunterI followed NICE founder Cassandra from another studio in SF to NICE, and I’ve never looked back!I finally found a workout I truly enjoy.I am continuously challenged at NICE, and I love the community of other pilates enthusiasts. The small class sizes ensure I am perpetually improving by receiving immediate feedback on my practice.As a woman who grew up in the aughts, I especially appreciate the lack of mirrors in both NICE studios. The instructors correct me, and I am not confronted with my own existence.Before I started pilates, I was constantly injuring myself due to weak muscles and balance. Six years later, I rarely have those injuries, and when I do, my recovery time is much faster.My friends are sick of hearing about it, so please go and see for yourself!
September 17 · Jean KarnowI am so happy I discovered Nice Pilates almost 2 years ago! From day one I felt welcomed, well taken care of and had a very individual approach!Highly recommend!
September 18 · Galina CherkasNICE Pilates is THE BEST! I have scoliosis that causes me chronic back pain. I started going to NICE Pilates almost six months ago and my back had never felt better and I have never felt stronger! When you are in a NICE Pilates class you can feel confident that your instructor is looking out for you and cares for you. Even the group classes feel like private sessions because they provide you individual adjustments. I cannot recommend them enough!!
November 20 · Eva GeissePure classical work. If you want to learn the Pilates work with help from these instructors in a gloriously beautiful space this is the place for you
