Pilates of San Diego

I completely love Ania London and all of the instructors at Pilates of San Diego. They have been so supportive and helpful in getting me ready for my upcoming wedding! They stay so positive! The environment at the studio is amazing!
The studio is super clean and comfortable. The instruction is always hands on, making classes fun and effective for students at any level. The teachers are always switching up the workouts. You can truly go every day of the week and have a different experience and work different muscles.
I highly recommend Pilates of San Diego to anyone who is interested in getting in shape and feeling great!
It is just a wonderful group of women!

Pilates of San Diego — Check out Friday after work stretch class with wine and foam rolling! Great location, instructors, music, community and fitness.

While visiting San Diego for my bachelorette weekend, I attended my first Pilates class at this lovely studio! The stretch instructor, Annie, was very knowledgeable and attentive to the abilities of all of us in the class. Prior to attending, j had been feeling discomfort from a strained oblique for weeks. The morning after the stretch class, I noted that some of the pain was alleviated! I will for sure return to the studio when I return to San Diego.

Best pilates studio! The instructors are all very beautiful, friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. My favorite is Annie. The stretching class is one of the best I ever experienced. I do a lot of HIIT workouts and the stretching class on the reformer helps with my tight muscles and definately makes me feel taller and leaner. The atmosphere is very calming and tranquil. The studio itself is very clean and airy.

My physical therapist recommended that I try Pilates while recovering from a broken neck suffered during a ski accident several years ago. I have been to multiple studios and have found Pilates of San Diego to be the best. The studio has an intimate feel, the equipment is new, and the place is very clean. They have a class schedule that accommodates my hectic work schedule with morning, mid-​day, and night classes. The owner, Ania, is very experienced and knowledgeable in her craft and her attention to detail of the various movements sets the instruction apart from the others. I strongly recommend giving them a try.

Pilates of San Diego was recommended to me by my Bestest. I was really happy to be able to try this studio with 4 complimentary classes from the owner Ania, as a Valentine’s Day Special. I really enjoyed the feel of the studio immensely, particularly the brightness and cleanliness of the studio. My preference is smaller and more intimate studios and this is exactly the feel that I go from Pilates of San Diego.
I am a firm believer that the instructors are really what make a studio great. So far, I have taken three different classes and I found the instructors to be absolutely wonderful! The first class I took was therapeutic yoga with Gia George. I adored how Gia opened the class by offering us a lovely rose essential oil to put on our hands, face and over our heart. Rose oil to open our hearts, as it was the day before Valentine’s day, was such a nice touch. The class was gentle and perfect for me, as I am nursing a few injuries. I have not seen a therapeutic yoga class offered before, I thought it was unique, and I thoroughly enjoyed the class with Gia. One of the highlights for me was Gia gracing us with her beautiful singing at the end of the class accompanied by her playing a crystal singing bowl. I highly recommend Gia’s 8am class to start off your weekend in the most peaceful and uplifting way.
The two other classes I took, Reformer Stretch and Jump Reformer, were both with Annie Stewart and she is just an all around lovely instructor. Now, I personally have never even heard of Reformer Stretch before and after taking her class I can honestly say that it would be really beneficial to absolutely anyone. Annie’s class was the best stretching I have EVER gifted my body with in all my life. I really love that Annie was so attentive to all of us in the class. The entire time she was making adjustments to our positions so that we could get an even deeper stretch. What a treat! My boyfriend has never even stepped foot in a pilates studio before and now after taking the class with me he wants to bring his entire soccer team to Annie’s stretch class. As for the Jump Reformer class with Annie I will simply say… she made us hurt so good! She is really a tough instructor who pushed us the whole time, and I loved that!
I highly recommend Pilates of San Diego for their unique classes and one of a kind instructors!

BEST pilates studios by far in San Diego! The teachers are amazing, and accessible. Ania the owner is extremely professional, and knowledgeable which is HUGE so you don’t get injured! All the teachers there are very nurturing. Classes are exactly as they say they’ll be – some are really hard, some medium and basics too. Great variety for pilates, chair, barre. (I haven’t taken the yoga classes yet.) And — the equipment is always clean! I’ve been to so many studios where springs are scary, headrests are broken and it feels unsafe. There’s a lot of pride in Pilates of San Diego. Super convenient to anybody in the DT area. Safe.
It’s also great for guys. My husband goes and loves it, feels very comfortable. And there are usually 1 or 2 other guys in almost all of my classes.

Like many of the reviewers, I was new to Pilates before I tried Ania’s studio, and now I’m completely addicted!
Ania has created a warm, fun environment, and she’s such a wonderful teacher. She’s patient, adjusts each workout to your strengths, ability, etc, and is very encouraging, making your try for your best!
I would recommend Pilates of San Diego to anyone, whether you’re going for your first time or have been practicing for years, Ania will make it worth your time and you will soon be addicted like me!

Clean and airy studio and the owner/​instructor is awesome and takes the time to correct posture and makes sure you are not putting stain on your body. The studio is small but is very very clean and smells amazing. I like the fact that they have late hours and Saturday classes.

I have been to 9 classes here so far and all have been amazing. Class size is small and the studio is beautiful. The instructors I have had are Alissa (pilates), Ania (pilates barre fusion), Christina (restorative yoga), Kristin (vinyasa yoga), and Margot (vinyasa yoga). All awesome ladies who clearly know what they’re doing. Grateful for this studio and would recommend it to anyone.

unbelieveable-​found my abs with Ania’s expert guidance and patience, got in touch with my lower abs and hope my former couch potato shape approximates hers… Studio is bright airy conducive to wonderful positive energy and mood. Aromatherapy enhanced my breathing and mood. A 6 star review!

**UPDATE!**
Still in love with all of the studios classes. Stretch and reformer classes are by far my favorite. All the instructors are super nice and very knowledgable and helpful. If you live downtown or are visiting San Diego I HIGHLY recommend coming here. Small classes, beautiful studio. Can’t go wrong!

Before I took one of Ania’s classes I thought Pilates was for Madonna and the reformer was some strange medieval torture device.
Misconceptions be damned. Pilates is for everyone! Men, that means you too. Yes, the reformer can be intimidating but fear not! Ania will guide you through everything, including getting your feet in the hand straps. Sounds crazy, right? But trust me, it’s possible!
Ania is so welcoming and her classes are amazing. If you’re a n00b and are on the fence about taking a class, DO IT! You’ll feel great, your body will thank you and Ania will help you through it all.

Pilates of San Diego is a wonderful gift to all of us downtown who love Yoga and Pilates. Ania, the owner and teacher is top notch. How wonderful is it to work out in such a beautiful setting. She spared no expense in providing the beautiful ambiance where we can go and enjoy working out with her. I too have been to many studios, even some in resort hotels and none have compared so far to this one. I look forward to going back again and again.

I have been to hundreds of pilates classes at various studios. I am from out of town, and was fortunate to discover the newly opened Pilates of San Diego while visiting this week. The location is great — directly across from the Convention Center in the Gaslamp District. This is the nicest studio I have encountered, and the teaching is outstanding. The owner (and teacher) Ania has extensive experience and tremendous expertise as a pilates instructor, and an exquisite knowledge of the kinetics of the human body. She asks about past injuries so she can tailor the class to our vulnerabilities. She has a low-​key but detail-​oriented style that is very effective. The studio is lovely, with fabulous new reformers, barre, and other equipment. I highly recommend checking out this studio!

I’ve been to many, many Pilates studios over the years and this is my favorite studio. Ania is a teacher unlike many others; her level of skill and ability to teach and change your body is nothing short of magic. I’ve taken group and private classes with Ania and she tailors the movements to best suit your need. Saying that, don’t be afraid to take her class if you’re recovering from an injury or if you’re not in the best shape. Pilates is gentle on your joints and can be super rehabilitative. In addition to giving you a fierce workout, those abs you’ve been dreaming about, and a boost of self-​confidence – you’ll also feel completely at ease and comfortable in her studio. Ania is welcoming, bright, and her positivity is contagious. Not to mention – it’s the prettiest studio you’ll see complete with top of the line reformers, Pilates chairs, and the Pilates Cadillac with a space for Barre and Yoga as well.

I’ve taken many classes taught by Ania. Her level of instruction is top-​notch. She possesses the health and fitness knowledge that guarantees results. Due to her vast knowledge of physiology and anatomy, she’s able to incorporate exercises that strengthen and tone all muscle groups (even that hard-​to-​train vastus lateralis, also known as saddle bags!) I started taking Ania’s Pilates, Reformer and Barre classes in June 2015 (usually 3 times per week). My body is more defined, especially my legs, glutes, abs and arms. The beautiful thing is that you get long, lean muscles and no bulk. Seriously, it’s unbelievable. Another great thing about Ania’s classes is that they’re perfect for all levels – beginner, intermediate and advanced. She offers modifications if you have any knee, wrist, lower back, etc. sensitivities. No matter your level, you will be challenged during these classes; you will see results and Ania will make sure of it! Ready to get in shape for the holidays – Ania is your girl!

Ania is a very special teacher. She is attentive and tuned into your needs, she is extremely knowledgeable about nutrition, and what I needed based on my health and ability. She has a special gift. I have trained with her privately as well as in classes. I have experienced no one better than Ania. She has improved my health and overall well being. I am so thrilled that she is in downtown now!
