Top Pilates studios in Oceanside, United States

I hate working out and have done so inconsistently (and begrudgingly) my whole life. This studio was recommended to me by a moms' group, and I've been a member for over a year. All the instructors are amazing (Broni, the owner, and Daniella are my favorites because they are so funny, but really I've yet to have an instructor who's not great.) The studio offers something for everyone: barre, yoga, HIT, dance, etc. and the times are convenient (early-birds, night owls and everything in between.) Of course I noticed a change in my body and strength, but even more important is the change in my mental health. Whatever your fitness level, there is no judgment, and it a fun and welcoming space for everyone. I tried several other studios before this one, and nothing compares.

Also, if you do the unlimited monthly, you get 3 guest passes (every month!) I tend to stick with something more if a friend keeps me accountable. I've taken friends (and my 13-year old daughter), and everyone likes it! It only took me 40 years, but I've found my friend and fitness home with this group. Couldn't ask for a friendlier or more welcoming group of ladies.

This is the best fitness studio ever! The classes are fun, the instructors are amazing and each class is an incredible work out. This studio has seriously changed my life and I’m so thankful for it!!

Seriously the best workout studio I've ever been to! I have never liked a studio enough to commit to a full membership, let alone an unlimited one, but here I am about a year out from my first time at this studio and I'm loving it more than ever! The instructors are so passionate and kind, and have always made me feel so welcome. I've always had anxiety working out in front of others, but the community of people that attends this studio are so supportive and fun. Run don't walk to sign up for a class!! (and special shoutout to Twerk and Tone classes they are seriously so fun. Ashley is the ultimate hype woman!)

I joined this group looking for something different than a normal gym. I wanted some guidance and needed help getting back into a routine. I quickly fell in love with this place and all the teachers. The classes were better than amazing!! The classes were a challenge with plenty of modifications for all levels and I felt great afterwards. There’s a wide variety to choose from anywhere from barre, bounce, yoga and more! I had never tried any of these classes before and all teachers were so helpful in helping make adjustments and correct form. I loved the music played every class! I recently moved and am no longer able to go and I don’t think I’ll ever find another place as great as this one! If you live in the area you have to try it out. You’ll love it instantly!

I recently joined therapy social fitness studio and I am so glad that I did! After years of primarily doing yoga and running I was ready for something new. I wanted to build more strength training into my workouts and to have fun while doing it. This studio is the perfect place to achieve both! I’ve gone to 15 classes in the past six weeks and learned about muscles I never knew I had thanks to the barre workouts. The instructors are so friendly and welcoming as is the other members! I am having a blast and noticing my body getting stronger already. Thank you, broni, for creating a wonderful and safe environment for me to work towards my goals.

I recently started working out at Therapy and I cannot say enough good things about this studio. The workouts are FANTASTIC! Although I typically strength-train and lift heavier weights, these classes challenged me so much and I discovered muscles I didn't even know I had! It has been immensely helpful for my overall physique and health, and tremendously increased my knowledge of different types of workouts and new ways to work my body.

Last but certainly not least, not only are the workouts amazing (and fly by!) but the community that I've been welcomed into has been unreal. Every person I have interacted with at this studio - participants and instructors alike - has been welcoming, kind, inviting, and inclusive. I've only been coming for two weeks and I already feel like I'm a part of this little family.

I would 10/10 recommend Therapy Social Fitness!

Great Pilates studio. Vannesa is a great teacher.

I love coming to this studio because everyone is very friendly and helpful. I have taken classes with Chris and Kathy and have enjoyed them all. This studio will help you build lean muscle and you'll have a great time doing it.

I was visiting from Virginia and booked a private class based on the reviews. It was a really amazing experience and I sincerely wish I had more time at this studio. Highly recommend to anyone looking to perfect their form.

I’ve been going to Pilates for 2 years at LA pilates and love the workout. The absolute best part of the Pilates experience are the instructors. Chris Crawford brings years of fitness knowledge experience and I love the classic rock energy she brings to her instruction. Kathy Babcock and Kathy Carroll are also so professional and knowledgeable. I started out going 2 x week and now I’m going several times per week because I enjoy the variety the instructors provide. So the downside of LA Pilates is the management of the studio, the studio changed locations with no notice to members and after 4 months, it’s still a work in progress. The new location in Oceanside is not as desirable as carlsbad and has not delivered the classes, facilities, equipment, showers, additional bathrooms, private studios promised with the move. The dues have remained the same but the services are significantly less. Management recently made a decision that all instructors must use the same boring elevator music for all classes vs instructor choice - this is so monotonous and does not take advantage of the expertise of the instructors - it makes me not want to take multiple classes per week. The only reason im a member is for the instructors.

This review is hard to write. I spent a year at LAPilates. The instructors are amazing. However, the office professionalism is awful. The studio moved locations and shut down for a week at the end of August with a one day notice. The studio re-opened and has still not been fully constructed, the flooring isn't complete, the bathroom is broken, all classes haven't been re-established, and the machines haven't been bolted down so they slide across the floor. We were told that we could cancel our membership without penalty if we weren't happy with the changes. Brooke, the GM, has refused to respond to my messages for over a month. I've contacted the BBB and she hasn't responded to them at all either. Seriously, beware before signing up for a membership so you don't waste your money on this studio when there are others that are professional and safe.

I have been doing Pilates on and off for over 30 years, mostly in the SF Bay Area with top classic movement teachers. I am so appreciative to have found Alane Schechter with Modern Body Pilates after a few years living in San Diego County. She is highly trained and always brings to the practice new approaches that are innovative, fun, and challenging. We work together to keep my core strong and my body flexible and balanced, whether on the classic reformer or other modern equipment in her solo studio. On the rare occasions I get a flair up of sciatica during a busy work week she cues me back into alignment and I leave pain free. She’s that good.

Alane works with female and male clients of different abilities and ages from top athletes and pregnant moms to seniors. I truly recommend her to you. Your body and spirit will thank you.

Alane has been a God send in my life! With her expertise in anatomy & body movement her pilates classes are challenging & safe. Under her excellent instruction -even through covid via zoom- my health & daily movement have improved dramatically.
Alane is knowledgeable and caring. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to improve their life & health!

Alane is the best! Her extensive knowledge and commitment to excellence makes Modern Body Pilates a stand out Pilates studio.

I found Modern Body Pilates while recovering from a back injury. Alane’s thoughtful and customized routines helped me experience less pain and expedited my recovery. I don’t know where I would be without Alane and Modern Body Pilates!

Alane has changed my life. I came to her at age 72 with tons of body issues. Scoliosis, poor posture, poor balance, weak core and pain in various areas. Now I’m 73 and on the road to being strong with good posture and improved gait. Her knowledge of Pilates and all that the human body is capable of is amazing. Plus she is patient. She makes each session worthwhile and I leave feeling awesome. I can’t recommend her enough, like I said…she has changed my life in such a positive way. Thank you Alane!

The team here is incredible! I've been going now for several months and it's always a blast. The routines are always fresh, new, and challenging. Definitely recommend this place! The staff are super nice and walk you through all the steps, so you don't feel lost at all.

I absolutely love LA Pilates in Carlsbad ♥️
Not only do I feel amazing- all stretchy, endorphined up, & zen-ed out, but I have lost so many inches in my waist since starting & my arms & glutes be on fleek… noticable difference, growth, & not that it matters but compliments galore. If that wasnt enough good stuff its also all about the community of gals & a few guys that really make this studio shine as well as there amazing staff, owners, & instructors. i am honored to be a member & have multiple times told my beatie favorite instructor just how much she improves my life & makes me a better version of Kristina ♥️

I have been coming to LA Pilates for over a year now, and not only do the workouts kick your butt (in the best way possible) but the instructors are wonderful, and Brooke is so warm and welcoming. I love that it’s a family feeling when you walk through the door, and when class is over you’re going to walk out feeling amazing!

Chris’ reformer class was amazing! I LOVED it! We worked out every muscle and my body was so sore. I had never taken a Pilates class on a reformer but she made me feel comfortable. She was very detailed in instructions, kind and fun. Everyone at the gym seemed to love her too. Too bad I was visiting from out of state otherwise I would’ve signed up because of her!

Best Barre studio around! If you live in (or near) Oceanside and are looking for a great workout with an amazing group of women, Therapy is the best! If you’re visiting Oceanside on vacation it’s worth your time. Every single instructor is fantastic and there is something for everyone whether you want a true ballet barre workout, a TRX workout, a sweaty fabulous dance cardio class or even boxing - Therapy has it all. The owner is the most genuine honest to goodness great all around person who truly cares about her clients and their fitness goals. Try the two week demo and I bet you’ll be hooked, just like I was!

I initially signed up for Pilates reformer and that did not work for me. If you are a fit person under 40, this style of exercise may not be enough. Yoga classes with Alex, however, were dynamic and fun for advanced practices.

I did not have a great experience with Brooke, the manager, after informing her about canceling my membership. A lot of misleading information within the contract that made me lose money, not being able to finish all the classes that I paid for.
ALSO, Watch out for that $10 fee if you cancel a class. As if taking one pass from you wasn’t enough already…?

Great sales marketing. Good facilities.

I've been going to this studio off and on for many years and I always come back! Classes are upbeat and so much fun you don't feel like you're working out (even though the amount you sweat proves you are lol). The instructors are all awesome as well as the owner. Watching the business adapt during the pandemic has been amazing and I'm sure extremely challenging, but handled with such grace and compassion ❤❤ With the variety of classes offered, there is sure to be something you will fall in love with and will keep you coming back for more!

The community of people that it has brought together is one of the best parts of this studio and I'm blessed to have made so many wonderful friendships!

Vanessa is fun! and funny! and a great teacher! this is a great place to learn pilates. I was terrified when I first went there. I wanted to learn but I wasn't sure I could do it. Vanessa is excellent at teaching a group with various abilities. She knows how to make it work for you. I highly recommend Pilates V.
