Love this studio! I've been with Beyond for 3 years now and have followed my favorite instructors to all the studios. It's been awhile since I took Biancas Barr class and let me tell you what this class is hardcore and so much fun. To make it a better experience take the therapeutic stretch right after to bring the calm back to your body. Bianca knows what she's about and gets right in there with us and works hard! Thanks Bianca for rocking a Wednesday night

I’ve been going to many locations of Beyond Pilates for over 1 year. There are many great instructors, some better than others. Bianca is one of the great ones. Her stretch and other classes have helped me a lot. Bianca gives clear, easy to follow instructions, and offers mods that work great for a stiff body like mine. You can really tell the difference with experienced instructors. Thanks to Bianca and some other excellent instructors (Kristy, Stephanie) it’s easy to strongly recommend Beyond Pilates.

Bianca is the only instructor I go to because she is willing to make me work and doesn’t worry about making me “happy.” In making me work, I am the happiest because I look amazing and have become so strong. I will quit this pilates studio and change this review to a crappy one if she ever leaves.

I was around town and decided to stop by the studio — best decision I’ve made in a while. Nihan was teaching a class, and from the moment I walked in, she made me feel welcome and comfortable.

Her approach to Pilates is the perfect mix of strength, control, and mindfulness. You can tell she truly understands the body and knows how to guide you through each movement with purpose. She kept the energy high while still making sure everyone was moving safely and with good form.

Even just one session with her left me feeling stronger, more aligned, and refreshed. Nihan has a calm, confident way of teaching that instantly builds trust. Whether you’re local or just passing through, I definitely recommend checking out one of her classes.

I've been a member at BP for over 6 months now and I can't recommend this studio enough, specifically Kristy's class! She has really helped me fall in love with exercising again and is so knowledgeable. She constantly challenges you, or offers modifications when you need them. She takes the time to ask everyone in the class if they have any injuries, and always has a positive and encouraging attitude. I look forward to her classes every week and leave feeling 100x better than when I arrive - every single time. I really can't recommend her classes enough.

Love coming here, Bianca is always a great instructor! Gets us motivated to workout and get a sweat going. Her classes in Point Loma are also great as well.

Overall a solid pilates experience that I recommend.

Very difficult to get in touch with administration to redeem a Groupon deal. They were a month late in creating my profile. I got this deal to do tandem with a friend and by the time they redeemed my deal, my friend’s deal had expired.

I had to contact them through Instagram just to get a response.

Now I’ve reached again to have remedy the deal and still no response. Maybe this review will get their attention finally.

This is a wonderful studio. The intermediate/advanced instructors are phenomenal. Bianca, Marguerite, and Kristy are notably creative with the class plans as well as attentive to form and physiology. I love that weights are incorporated into classes, too. They kick your butt in a serious but fun way. The machines are in good shape. Free parking.

I really like the vibe and flow of this studio, especially Kristy. She’s a professional and detailed instructor who is very welcoming. Kristy clearly explains the goal of the class and asks if anyone needs special adjustments due to injury, pregnancy, etc., before class starts. You can be assured that she will help you maintain the correct form, which was something I felt was lacking at the previous studio I attended. After trying her classes, I bought the 10-class bundle because it’s so worth it! Highly recommend!

I've been trying to reach this Pilates studio for a while, but no one ever answers the phone. I even visited the studio in person, but while it looks very nice, it was closed. It might be a good studio, but if no one responds to calls, I'm not sure how to get in touch with them. May be someone read the reviews…

I took a class a few weeks back with ClassPass. Studio was clean and class itself was okay. I don't think the instructor (Kristy) is suited for a beginner class. I have been to other beginner classes, both here and other studios, and I take correction and instruction well. However, it felt like there was an heightened level of frustration and annoyance in her tone/vibe. It made me very uncomfortable and kind put me in a frozen mindset. I should have left but I tried to stick it out. Once the class ended, I left and started tearing up when I walked back to my car. and I don't think anyone should feel like that after a fitness class. I'll probably come back because the other instructor I went to was nice but I plan on definitely avoiding this instructor again.

I had my first ever Pilates class tonight at the Kensington location with Marguerite E. leading the class and she was very good and helpful with teaching me the ropes. I have already booked several more classes with Marguerite as I can tell she is very good and I will develop my skills under her instruction.

Absolutely love my classes with Bianca and Alyssa. I’ve been coming to this studio for several years and they always give you the the best workout, listening and adjusting as needed, but still pushing you to improve day by day. Bianca is such a knowledgeable and sweet instructor, she always has the best playlists. Thanks to her I feel more secure with my form and have significantly improved my core strength. I love Alyssa’s energy, she definitely makes you break a sweat! The studio itself is well outfitted, clean, and spacious, even with a full class.

I've been attending this studio for over 7 years. I've never found another studio that has been more enjoyable. I now live in Fallbrook and commute back when I go to work down in San Diego a few times a week because the studios in my area don't compare. The instructors are well picked and always consistent in their professionalism and skill. The studio itself has the very best equipment and the variety is the best! I feel at home whenever I go in and have enjoyed meeting other students there. It's always a pleasure when you leave a place feeling like a million bucks!!

Love this studio, all the instructors have so much to offer, truly educated. Bianca is a new member to the team, and she is a great addition, she takes inventory of her clients injuries and keeps her eye on you and checks on you to keep you moving in a safe manner, and she’s fun. She is very charismatic. All the studios are very welcoming. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Took a “Pilates for beginner class” for the first time with Bianca. Dont expect a warm welcome. It’s a “beginner class” but you definitely need to have prior knowledge about Pilates and how to use the equipment because little guidance will be given. You just have to “look to your neighbor” to figure it out. I made the most of the experience because in the end of the day I paid. I’m just happy I didn’t prematurely purchase a 10 class pass before I tried it out. There are better places with better customer service

In July of 2019 I I was hospitalized for a neuro toxicity event.i spent week in hospital. The doctors Diagnosed me with Guillain Barre. Filled me with IVG IV therapy and sent me home.
I realized the toxicity was from Botox injections in my armpits for excessive sweating.
A week later I experienced neuro motor abnormalities. I had gait disturbance, issues with swallowing, my arms were paralyzed and weakened to point I could not raise my arms above my shoulders and my strength was weakened to point I could not even lift my small dogs 7 and 13 lbs. It took 3 months for the effects to wear off and a team of homeopathic practitioners to work with me to heal.
After recovering from 3 months of this I was very weak.
I returned Basi Pilates in December 2019.I started at the Kensington studio.
It saved my life. Eventually I started going 5 days a week. I got my mobility and strength back, Lost 20 lbs., I’m in great shape now thanks to all the wonderful support and awesome instructors.
I have my favorite classes with Instructors, Kristy, Kristen and Doug. Brad the owner is always assessable and quick to help. Basi Kensington is a community to me. Everyone is so caring and supportive.
I can’t say enough positive things. I am so grateful for my experience and physical transformation.
Thank you team Kensington!

Had a great experience with the trainer Kristy today! (I think that’s how it’s spelled, sorry) I’ve been here about 3 times now, I’ve only taken the beginner classes because I’m really trying to get my form together before moving on. That was what she had said I should do and I appreciate that she’s not just trying to push me into the next class!

Very clean and nice studio, they instruct you to wash hands before and after and have paper towls, spray ready for you to whipe down your equipment right after so I feel very safe!

The trainer is always really great at being able to tell if you need assistance, without having to stop your workout and wave them down and that’s very important to me because I hate getting out of the grove I’ve made. Really great place and love grabbing coffee or lunch somewhere near by right after!

I have been going to Beyond Pilates for several years now and I love the diversity of classes from Spin, Pilates, Yoga, Cardio Barre. It is a great mix of classes for the price. All the instructors are knowledgeable and happy to be there. And most importantly, the owner is always responsive if you have a question about payment, classes, changing plans or need to take a break due to extensive work travel. Unlike other owners of local Pilates studios, the owner here immediately gets back to you and there is no quibbling over details...he always takes care of the customer. And I know that this is not his full time job which makes it even more lovely to do business with Beyond Pilates.

I was looking for a low impact but physically challenging group workout setting which lead me to Beyond Pilates. Absolutely love the motivated/ happy instructors. The instructions were able to help me modify my workouts to accommodate my knee injuries. They offer a great variety of classes wether you're looking for strength training or more of cardio workout. Plus, the locations of the studios are sprinkled throughout SD making it even easier to attend classes. I started out by purchasing a Groupon for 6 classes and became hooked on Pilates. Give Beyond Pilates a try.

Beyond Pilates is where I discovered Pilates. A friend bought me a Groupon and tried it for the first time 3 years ago December. I was hooked from then. It is a great workout for all body types and fitness levels, targeting every area for a full body workout in 50 minutes. What sets Beyond Pilates from other studios starts at the top with the owner Brad. All his studios are run well , clean, and he aims to provide some of the best instructors . The instructors here are well trained and allowed to incorporate their own styles into the workout giving the client choices on which classes are best for their fitness level.. No “ cookie cutter” workouts here, that I have encountered at other pilate studios . I have gained strength , a leaner body, and balance along with a sense of community from my classmates . Here at Beyond the instructors encourage you to be the best you that you can be . So grateful I discovered this practice and this studio . I am forever a Pilates girl.

I’ve been attending classes at this studio for a year now and have really developed an appreciation for the art of Pilates. The knowledge and experience that’s shared is outstanding. I value each instructor for their unique abilities. They all have a passion for wellness and it’s apparaebt that they want each individual to succeed; no matter what goals each student has. They embrace new comers and make it a valuable experience regardless of the experience of mixed classes- that’s no easy task. I’m never bored and I continue to feel like I’m making progress at my own pace, with great encouragement from instructors. Most students are kind and welcoming. I stay within my level of experience and each instructor for that level makes it a new experience; from their variety of methods, energy, style and even music. My experiences have been with Jackie, Jamie, Kristi and Yadira. Some subs in between, who do a great job as well. Great job, ladies! You are why I attend!

I’ve taken reformer Pilates classes in many studios in San Diego and several states around the US. What I look for in a studio is the reformers, because not all reformers are the same quality. Next, I look at the instructors — do they know what they’re doing; do they care about form and do they guide you in that way. Pilates is a great form of exercise, but form is EVERYTHING. Otherwise you can hurt yourself really bad. I was lucky to have had instructors who care and have taught proper form, so when I’m in class with a teacher who cares not much about how you hold your form, i never come back for a second class. Beyond Pilates has fulfilled my expectations! My experience with the instructors has been great! If you are interested in taking a Pilates class in a studio that has competent instructors and great reformers...do so at BEYOND PILATES. And... I’m going to give a special recommendation to my favorite instructor there who I think is super conscientious about FORM. Alissa Pankow teaches the Reformer Jump Class, which is a workout, and she does a wonderful job! She pays attention to what I do and corrects my firm. I’m grateful. She’s mentally present in class, because some instructors are not. She makes sure you get a good, safe workout. Finally...and this is huge. You can talk to a live person in the office!!! Yay! And the gentleman who I speak with who handles my charges, my account, and anything else related to the business aspect is a joy to deal with! Beyond Pilates...keep up the great job!!! Maria

I have been working out at Beyond Pilates since summer 2017. I had never done Pilates before coming to the studio, and despite my anxiety about trying something new, I felt instantly comfortable and welcome. I was previously a runner and lifted weights, but years of running had worn down my knees and I needed something new. I now attend about 4 times per week, and I absolutely love it! Also, I have definitely experienced positive mental and physical changes as a result of the classes. Beyond Pilates has wonderful teachers, and many different types of classes so it’s easy to stay engaged. The teachers are truly excellent - motivating, energetic, friendly, and they really put time into planning the classes to keep things interesting. Despite attending regularly, I am sore the day after almost every class, which tells me I’m getting a great workout! I have really enjoyed all of the classes I’ve taken, but especially love those led by Devon, Kristi, Yadira, and Wendy. The owner, Brad, has also been very helpful in terms of answering questions, and helping me find a class package that is just right for me. The studios are spotless and equipment is very well maintained. They have great specials for newbies, and overall, I feel that their packages are very reasonable, particularly given the small group format and the level of attention this affords, the quality of the equipment, the ability to attend multiple studios, and the top-notch instructors. I cannot recommend Beyond Pilates enough! If you are considering trying Pilates, start here!
