I have been going to this studio for almost 2 years now. There are many features that inspire me to continue coming back. Atmosphere is non-judgmental, upbeat and fun even though you're working hard! Studio is always clean and climate comfortable. There's air conditioning or fans dependent on what class prefers. It's good to switch around instructors to get different routines. Michael is terrific---patient, extremely knowledgeable and makes the class enjoyable.
I also want to add that the few times I had to contact the management about membership/financial issues or questions they went beyond (as in their name haha) to help me. They continued to work with me until I was happy. Service like that doesn't get any better.
So if you are considering starting Pilates go on their website and get one of their new client deals---a great bargain. You can try it without breaking the bank with a long term commitment although I doubt you'll stop once you start. Go for it and have fun.

Love Btone! I've only taken classes at the North End location and South End, but every class I've taken is great! All the instructors are amazing- they use slow movements that really make you feel the burn during class, as well as the next day.

Michele is amazing and just a wonderful person. We first went to Michele for our wedding dance lessons and then took swing and salsa lessons from her. She makes learning dance steps/moves so easy and fun. Working with Michele will not only improve your dance skills, but also boost your dance confidence as well.

Beyond Pilates is my Pilates studio of choice in the San Diego area. The instructors are always very helpful and encouraging, and are great at tailoring movements to different skill levels and difficulty options. I always feel challenged during class, and stronger when class is over.

Love Kristi and how she took the time to help me figure out a plan that would work for me and my body. I also love how friendly the rest of the staff is and how clean the place was. This is a great place that I plan to attend as long as I can! Thank you to all of you!

I love Beyond Pilates! All of the instructors are so good about tailoring your workout to you. My favorite instructor is Kristi - she'll push you to give your best effort and be mindful of your form. I love that every class is different, and every class is a full-body workout. I always leave feeling refreshed!

Walking by this place, I couldn't believe the introductory offer of six Pilates classes for $20! I wanted to try this out, while my husband was reluctant to try an instructor setting workout (zumba, yoga, etc.) especially about something we had no idea or experience. But, I knew from my time in the service that having an instructor to push you just a little is the best way to motivate and guide, so I finally convinced him to try it just for the $20/6 classes. We bought some grip socks off the Internet, attended our first class, then our second, and by our third, we were hooked! The classes are so enjoyable and the reformers (those crazy looking boxes with ropes and springs) are not as intimidating or confusing as they look. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, ready to help you reach your goals. We mainly take classes with Kristy or Michael, but even the subs or whomever is teaching is awesome. We are about five months in, taking two-three classes a week and loving the shape of our bodies and our newfound flexibility. It's certainly worth trying! My only wish is that they had classes offered on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Thanks to the Beyond Pilates crew for making working out fun!

I LOVE Beyond Pilates. I found the studio after purchasing a groupon. I needed to start working out after really never having a good workout routine. I loved how they offer more classes than just Pilates. I'm so happy to say that I've lost inches and really toned up my body. The classes are so much fun and much better than trying to get myself motivated to go to the gym. The instructors are great and so motivating! They correct your form and keep you pushing harder. Michael and Kristi are awesome!! I've already recommended the studio to several people that I talk to. I can't wait to continue going to BP!

Joining Beyond Pilates in San Diego has transformed my life. Thanks to these studios, I'm now in even better shape than when I was an actor in my twenties taking daily movement classes at Juilliard. This is because of the outstanding instructors, the glorious studio spaces, and the extraordinary owner, Brad. The instructors at Beyond Pilates are obviously very carefully trained and managed. Each and every one clearly loves Pilates, and their passion is infectious. They're always welcoming, professional, and upbeat, at the same time that they're able to challenge you to achieve newfound strength, agility, and tranquility. The studio spaces are meticulously clean and bright, and the equipment is all brand new and sturdy. Beyond this, the website and app are very user friendly, and the prices are extremely reasonable. I've tried two other Pilates studios in San Diego, and they didn't come anywhere close to providing a comparable experience. Obviously, such a wonderful place as Beyond Pilates doesn't come about by accident. At the helm of this business is the extraordinary owner, Brad. For Brad, the studios are clearly a matter of the heart, given how invested he is in each and every client. He's one of the most generous-spirited people I've ever encountered. I'll be forever grateful to Brad for the difference his Beyond Pilates studios have made in my life. You owe it to yourself to give this a try! You'll be so happy that you did.

Love this place! I had never been to a Pilates class before, just one on one's, and this studio has got me hooked. I will be signing up and coming to your Booty class regularly!

For people who are supposed to help others reach their health goals they sure do not practice what they preach. They blast their speakers and bass every morning at 5:30 am waking the residents upstairs up with their raging bass. I am usually up by 6 am anyways but come on. Would you like to wake up to Shakira or Skrillex every weekday morning? The worst part is that they usually have no more than a couple of people in there. I'm sorry but honest, caring and health conscious individuals do not turn a cold shoulder when bad energy and complaints start impacting their business. They reach out and find a solution to reach optimal results, accommodate all potential client needs. We understand, you're a Pilates studio but try to understand we are residents living right upstairs. Why BLAST your music & equipment, when it's illogical, being that you do not have an audience bigger than a pair? I actually wanted to try you guys out too but your business values are not a fair one. Trainers are rude and the owner is no different. No one cares. A business' character is comprised of the people who run it and that right there says it all. Take your business elsewhere.
