I love Pilates on purpose I've been going there over 5 years now. The instructors Bianca, Julie and Darcy are wonderful and make you feel comfortable with whatever level your at, whether you're a beginner or have been doing Pilates for years. The studio is nice clean and small with about 8 reformers and plenty of personalized instruction and help if needed from the instructors. I always recommend Pilates on purpose to anyone that wants to get started in Pilates or is looking for a new studio to go to. Plus there's no better exercise for stretching than Pilates πŸ₯°

I’ve done Pilates for 13 years and I love a good Pilates On Purpose workout. When I had surgery on my shoulder last year, Darciβ€˜s class was the first class I took after my rehab was over. It was challenging and I was scared, but she got me thru it. Depending on the instructor and the class I find that I am always challenged in new ways and continue to build my strength and endurance.

10 STARS!!!

The OC is a mecca of fitness facilities & seekers... I have worked out at many gyms where I have "killed-it!" Pilates on Purpose stands in stark contrast to all of the others. One of the OC's best kept secrets, I have found Pilates On Purpose to be an oasis dedicated to body & mind transformation.

It is not hyperbole when I say that Darci at Pilates on Purpose has helped transform my life. Her consistent guidance and gently phrased suggestions helped me take an objective look at the choices I was making in order to conquer my lifelong struggle with weightloss and body image.

My workouts included a mix of cardio, strength training & pilates and were tailored to prevent exacerbating previous injuries.

I found much more than a gym or a workout at Pilates on Purpose. I found a coach, cheerleader & community . I am forever grateful. Darci and Pilates on Purpose is absolutely priceless!!

This place is magical! Some studios are big and impersonal, but the teachers in this small studio are highly skilled, experienced and attentive to each client. I’ve been a member for several years and am so glad I joined!

I have tried a variety of workouts: yoga, HIT, personal training. Pilates is by far the quickest way for me to get my body back in shape, as well as improve my posture and not risk any injuries from high impact on my joints. I have been going to classes consistently for over 3 weeks now and I can feel and see my abs taking shape!

This studio is my favorite studio in OC. I love how its in an intimate setting, you are introduced to each member by name so you feel comfortable and know each other, and each instructor has so much to offer-
I would recommend trying them all!

This is the best investment in myself with the most satisfying return. LOVE!

This is probably my favorite Pilates studio ever. The entire staff is friendly and professional. Darci has a wealth of knowledge, not only Pilates but about wellness and the human body. Do yourself a favor and take a class here. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a new place to workout or are curious about Pilates!

Darci is a national treasure! She is very knowledgeable and thoughtful in her approach, taking into account the student's limitations and objectives. The reformer is an incredibly versatile machine, and Darci gets the most out of it, adjusting as needed to address the needs of her students. Very worthwhile!

Hands down, best Pilates studio in the OC!

I had the good fortune of discovering Pilates on Purpose through a Groupon. Darci Brawley (the founder & owner) is one of the most knowledgeable and interesting people with whom I've had the pleasure of meeting; she is extremely passionate about her craft and it shows in her business. Tina is an absolute joy and her classes are as challenging as they are fun.

The new location (in Plaza Serrano on 17th Street, next to Greenleaf Chopshop) is a charming garden oasis that gives this studio the growth potential it deserves. I would highly recommend Pilates on Purpose, even if you've never taken a Pilates class. I'm really looking forward to the future of this incredible place!

I love going to Pilates on Purpose. Darci and Tina are excellent teachers. I was new to Pilates, and really didn't know much about it. They make it so easy and fun. Its amazing how much strength building this can accomplish. I noticed a difference after only a few weeks into it. From swinging the golf club to getting out of a Theatre seat after a movie. I used to be stiff, now I can just move up and out. The classes are small, and I always get the attention I need. I highly recommend Pilates on Purpose.

Darci is very knowledgeable about the body and its movements. She thoroughly explains each exercise and has tremendous patience. I would highly recommend her for new or experienced pilates enthusiasts.
