I was fortunate to have Pilates classes with Vladka in Long Beach. Her knowledge and guidance with proper form while you’re practicing Pilates is amazing. Thank you Vladka for your wonderful instruction that will stay with me forever!👏

I had the privilege of training with Vladka for 10 years, and she is truly an exceptional Pilates instructor. I originally came to her with sciatica pain, and within just a week I felt so much better. She is incredibly skilled and has an amazing eye for movement—she notices things most people couldn’t and gently corrects you to prevent injury and get the best results. Vladka is patient, soft-spoken, and so lovely to work with, creating a safe and supportive environment every session. I miss training with her so much, but I wish her all the best at Atwill—they are so lucky to have her!

Vladka is an absolute gem and by far the most skilled Pilates instructor I’ve ever met. She’s incredibly professional yet warm and approachable, and she takes a true sense of responsibility for each client. Vladka thoughtfully prepares every session based on your specific needs and goals, and she’s like a true friend on your journey—always working with you to get where you want to be. She makes even the most challenging moves look
effortless as she demonstrates them, making learning so much easier. Her deep knowledge and genuine love for what she does shine through in every class—and the results speak for themselves. Atwill Pilates gained an absolute treasure!

I was introduced to Romana pilates through Vladka , and it completely transformed the way I think about movement and exercise.
Before taking her classes, I never imagined I would actually look forward to working out — but she made it not only approachable, but truly enjoyable.

Her deep understanding of the method, along with her warm and attentive teaching style, created a space where I felt both challenged and supported. During my pregnancy, her thoughtfully adapted programs made a huge difference — helping me stay strong, mobile, and connected to my body in a safe and meaningful way. Her ability to adjust to my changing needs with care and precision was truly invaluable.

Working with Nicole at Atwill Pilates has been a life-changing experience. In just a few short weeks I’ve seen substantial progress in my posture, alignment, flexibility and strength. Nicole is extremely knowledgable and intuitive, and knows how to address the smallest movements that will have a great impact on your Pilates practice. She’s also incredibly patient and kind, and will meet you where you’re at, holding your hand as you learn together. I appreciate her generous hands-on approach and intelligent understanding of the body, especially as a beginner. The Atwill studio is such a warm and supportive space, and reminds you how restorative it can be to be in community together. The studio is always clean and extremely well-equipped. I truly thought my posture problems and back pain were a lost cause, but Nicole has completely changed my mind. I’m so excited to continue this body-positive journey! Couldn’t recommend enough.

I recommend Atwill Pilates.
I am a first time beginner Pilates student and chose to focus on learning the intermediate Classical Mat Pilates sequence. Both Colleen and Nicole have been teaching me and I like and respect their teaching style. Classes I have taken include; privates 1 on 1, duets with my wife and mat group instructions, approximately 6 people in the group.
The studio room environment is beautiful, Spanish revival style architecture, beautiful garden view windows and good looking modern Gratz apparatus.

I feel so lucky to have discovered Atwill pilates. The space is a beautiful, calm oasis with highly qualified instructors and highly motivated students. Colleen is an absolutely INCREDIBLE and gifted teacher whose mastery of her field and deep wisdom of the body allows for her to communicate with her students through worlds, demonstration and and hands on adjustments how to deeply access muscle groups in a balanced and harmonious way to build strength. If you’ve ever had a pilates instructor who tells you exactly when you need to put more pressure on a specific toe and the exercises become one thousand times more intense you know what I’m talking about! I love that they have ALL the equipment - from the Cadillac to the electric chair to the foot corrector, and they will utilize it all to give you the best workout! Although I appreciate fast-paced group cardio pilates, often form is sacrificed in those classes which can lead to injury. This can be a wonderful replacement for or supplement to those type of classes. Atwill is all about control and technique and proper form for strength and longevity. Lucky you if you chose to workout at Atwill ❤️

I never knew there was a difference between pilates and classical pilates.
Training at Atwill has made me realize it’s something like driving a Porsche instead of a Honda. Not only is the equipment far superior to other studios I’ve tried, the trainers also meet a standard of excellence I definitely haven’t experienced elsewhere. Atwill Pilates has my vote for the best studio in Santa Barbara

I moved to SB and found Atwill Pilates in 2020. Since then I’ve had the opportunity to train with many of their wonderful classical instructors - Colleen (owner), Beverly, Marlene, Nicole, and Marie! They all bring a level of excellence, encouragement, sense of humor, and occasional side-eye that I respect and value! 😉

At Atwill Pilates I enjoy a combination of small group classes (mat & reformer), privates and duet training sessions. I love the group classes for the camaraderie and practice, and the privates and duets for skill development.

Aside from the wonderful instructors, the studio itself is a beautiful, bright and welcoming space. And the entire studio is outfitted with Gratz equipment.

I travel the world and try different Pilates studios everywhere I go and Atwill Pilates remains a favorite. 🥇

Big thanks to everyone at Atwill Pilates! 😍

As a Pilates Instructor we also practice amongst other teachers not only to enhance our level of practice but also to tune up our bodies through the lenses of other teachers. Having taken session at Atwill Pilates has been such an uplifting experience, all teachers carries the knowledge of the classical method, I should say the true Pilates method. Aside from always feeling amazing afterwards. When choosing a Pilates practice, you are far better choosing quality vs quantity. Despite how many sessions one can take a week, one great quality session a week will transform your body far more than a few with equipments of less quality or teachers under trained. Atwill Pilates in SB is the place to go !

Atwill Pilates is a true classical pilates method studio. The ambiance is beautiful. The teachers are all classically trained. The private classes allows one to learn about our body in a much deeper way since the workout is tailored to our own needs.

Overall, the quality of the workout is great for anyone wanting to do Pilates the way it was designed to be done.

Being new to town and wanting to try Pilates I googled and found Atwill to be the closest studio to my house so I gave it a go. I started with a private session with Colleen. She was wonderful-down to earth, laid back and super knowledgable- even though I had no idea what I was doing I left feeling confident and excited to return.

Since my first class I’ve gone multiple times a week because I love the workout but also the people and the space. Marie’s group reformer classes are fun and approachable for many levels of student. The space has huge windows with gorgeous light and is well decorated with cool art, plants and a highly curated little boutique area- def has a spa like environment.

As far as the workout, it’s worth every penny. I leave sessions feeling both exhausted and strong. I feel like I’m standing up straighter and strengthening my core each time. I used to get lots of low back pain when sitting for long periods of time and that’s basically gone after consistent Pilates work with Colleen and Marie.

Some gyms/studios can feel pretentious or intimidating as a newbie, perhaps my favorite part of going to Atwill is that I never experienced this. Everyone there, including the clientele, has been warm and friendly. If you’re looking for a good workout, to build strength and flexibility, and to be in a great environment around lovely people when you do it, Atwill is your jam!

I've been going to Atwill for about 6 months and I love it! The studio itself is really pretty, very soothing and aesthetically pleasing decor. I do solo sessions with Marie twice a week. She's a wonderful teacher and I feel like I'm in really good hands. She's patient and she's always got an eye out to adjust my alignment and make sure I'm working the right muscle groups for each exercise. If something is bothering me she is quick to change things up for how my body feels that day. She's really experienced and knowledgable. Every class is different and interesting. When I started I was brand new to pilates, and now I feel like I've gotten a lot stronger, great length and toning, and it's a workout that this tired mom actually enjoys doing!

I have been training with Colleen for about a year, and she is amazing! I have spinal problems and used to have back pain, but after taking classes with her it is gone! I have seen such improvement in my posture, alignment, flexibility, and strength! Colleen is so kind and great to work with. She has so much knowledge about Pilates, and she focuses on you individually while helping you strengthen and align your body. Unlike other studios, she really works on the details of each exercise.

I really enjoy taking classes with Colleen and am making great progress with form. Colleen has an amazing attention to detail and is very good at communicating the particulars of each move. I highly recommend taking 1:1 classes for beginners. Colleen will work with you for a good classical Pilates foundation so that you can build to more advanced levels. Atwill Studio space is bright and uplifting for a happy experience.

Pilates with Colleen of Atwill Pilates is the absolute best. Never have I experienced such a noticeable difference in my strength and flexibility from any other form of exercise. I have struggled with my posture my entire life, always hunching over and struggling to roll my shoulders back. After just a few classes with Colleen, I have experienced a greater shift in correcting this problem than I ever have before. Colleens extensive knowledge of Pilates truly shines as she is able to observe and then tailer each class specifically to your needs. Challenging you to try your hardest, while giving you support and guidance every step of the way. She is an exceptional instructor!!!

I have had the pleasure of training with Colleen for over ten years now. She is an incredibly skilled and inspiring teacher who has studied and taught all over the world and is always bringing fresh new content to her classes back home. She is wonderfully attentive, truly listens, and always meets you where you are at on any given day --- a crucial element in any form of bodywork. While her classes are always a challenge and wildly humbling, Colleen exudes a lighthearted and positive spirit that only encourages me to work harder. And aside from all of this, she is an absolute gem of a human being! Her energy is infectious which only makes our sessions together more enjoyable. Colleen is most definitely in a league of her own and I cannot recommend her enough!

After trying a little Pilates in France and California, I was introduced to Colleen. With Colleen I immediately understood how Pilates could really improve my posture, strength and flexibility. I discovered how varied and fun it can be. Colleen adapts her teaching to my needs and goals but still make it challenging and therefore empowering. I trust all her tips because I know of her excellent training and witness her unmatched knowledge. But it's also her patience, her attention to details, her passion and joy who make her a fantastic teacher.

My definition of strength has changed after doing pilates with Colleen! I used muscles that I have never even knew excisted, despite my athletic training.

I am new to pilates and thought I'd be lost as to what to do but the Instructions we're great and Colleen was so helpful that I felt at ease when I was there. I loved the individual attention I got during class, making sure that every part of my body was aligned properly so that I left feeling strong and aligned.

As for the studio what can I say besides the fact that it is gorgeous! Simple, clean, beautiful & spacious. It's in such a great location too, right off of state Street which was perfect as I walked to get a morning cup of coffee just down the street after class. The perfect morning really!

No doubt about it I would give Atwill Pilates a try, just warning YOU WILL BECOME HOOKED!!

I love Colleen! So grateful for her knowledge, attention to detail, and patience as a teacher. She cares about the safety and goals of each person in her classes, and I leave class feeling stronger and empowered to integrate strategies in my daily routines. I had to give up running after a knee injury, but Atwill Pilates has become a new place for grounding and re-energizing each week.

Colleen at Atwill Pilates has been my Pilates instructor for many years now. (7+) I've become so much stronger in these years thanks to her and notice a big positive difference in my other activities such as my running. I train for ultra marathons and pilates with Colleen is the perfect addition and injury prevention. She's knowledge, pays attention to details, experienced, and most importantly encouraging. I love her style and she always caters the workouts to my different needs depending on what races I’m training for (or recovering from)
I've done many styles of workouts with lots of different instructors in Santa Barbara and she is hands down my favorite.
