I took Nundhia’s classic class and loved it! She explained each move clearly, gave us a thorough warm-up, and offered helpful variations so everyone could work at their own level. The class was challenging in all the right ways and such a fantastic workout. I highly recommend her classes!

I’ve been taking class since they opened. It helps my issues: shoulders and back pain. I used to go to physical therapy, but not anymore. The place is close to my home. I love the classes and instructors. Thank you to BODYBAR!!

I highly recommend BODYBAR, even if you’ve never done Pilates before! I love all the workouts and all the instructors. They are extremely helpful and motivate you to push yourself and “embrace the shake”. Even if you’ve never done Pilates before, they take the time to make sure you understand the movements & how to use the machine properly. All of the staff is extremely friendly and makes you feel so welcome!! I have been to other studios, and Body Bar La Costa is the best hands down.

Great pilates studio! I love that you can actually get into the classes and don't need to book weeks in advance. It makes the monthly unlimited a great deal with my busy schedule juggling work and parenting. The classes are great. Different instructors with different styles. Always fun motivating music.
The manager Amanda is so kind, helpful, and makes everything easy. She always seems to be there to answer a question or just be a smiling face at the front desk whether it is 6 am or 6 pm!
Also, they always great deals on more athlesiure wear I don't need but somehow never have enough of. Thanks BodyBar LaCosta!

BodyBar Pilates La Costa is truly the best Pilates studio I’ve been to! The infrastructure is amazing — clean, modern, and really well set up. I’ve tried different studios before, and nothing compares to this one. There’s a great variety of classes and equipments, and I can truly see a difference in my body and strength since I started.
The instructors are fantastic. Nancy’s classes are always upbeat, and she has the best playlists that keep you energized throughout. Brenden is really knowledgeable, and his classes are very challenging — you leave feeling like you gave your best effort. Maya is also a great instructor who brings such a great, high-energy vibe to every class.
Highly recommend!

Nancy made sure I understood the equipment and helped make sure I was completing the moves correct. It was a great first impression and every class and instructor had been like that.

10/10++ Nancy is a amazing! Her classes are the perfect blend of challenge, creativity, and fun. She constantly refreshes her choreography with new moves, great playlists, and tons of layering that keeps things exciting and never repetitive. Nancy's energy is uplifting, her humor is just right, and her encouragement feels genuinely supportive.
What really sets her apart is her thoughtful approach—she always offers variations to dial movements up or down, and she's clearly attentive to wrist-intensive sections, giving us the balance we need. Her workouts are tough in the best way, but time seriously flies. I take her classes often and am always surprised by something new. :)

This review is based on the amazing customer support we have received from Madeline. We were all set to start our memberships when the studio opened in November. Unfortunately both of my parents were struck with serious health issues just before our first class was scheduled. When I wrote to Madeline to explain the situation I was met with an abundance of empathy and understanding that I have not experienced in quite a while. Followed by messages to check in on us. I am so very impressed with her as a human being and as a business woman. Although we have not yet been able to take our first class I do follow her every move on social media and we cannot wait to start!

I have wanted to incorporate Pilates into my exercise routine my whole life but it was never financially obtainable. BODYBAR came at the perfect time when I was re-evaluating my regiment. I reached out to Madeline to find out more, and instantly trusted her and felt the passion she has in the business she’s creating. I’m a founding member and am making it a priority to go to classes 4-5 days a week. I love it! The instructors and employees are knowledgeable, inviting, and supportive. And I instantly met some new workout buddies! I’m excited to watch my progress in the upcoming year!

Love mixing these classes into my weekly routine, it always feels good to move and stretch at bodybar! If you're looking for a great burn, authentic encouragement from the instructor, and to feel comfortable trying new daunting workouts... Jordans reformer class is INCREDIBLE. She makes you feel seen and helps with every position without making you feel called out or embarrassed! All Carlsbad nstructors are awesome... very well trained / easy to chat with:)

The BEST pilates studio I have ever been to! I took my first class last week and everyone was super nice. Kylee was the instructor and she showed me all around the studio and equipment. I hadn't done pilates in a while so I was a little nervous to get back into it. She was super sweet and her class was SO good (it was the Classic). I purchased the unlimited package right away because I knew I was already hooked. The host at the front was super helpful and got me all set up with my membership. Seriously, everyone is so nice!! I went back again and took Kaari's class and it was amazing! She's super sweet and it was the Reformer class which is tougher than the Classic, but she offered lots of modifications and I loved it. I love this place and will definitely be a regular. Highly highly recommend! :)

BODYBAR has been transforming for me. This is my third week and I can already feel the difference in my body. I’ve been dealing with back pain for the last year created by a bad pulling movement during a weight class, honestly my pain is becoming better and better and I’m regaining my strength. The instructors are fun and patience with new members that need to learn how to use the reformer. Equipment and facility are State of Art. Five starts to Bodybar.

Visiting San Diego, had extremely bad back pain from the plane ride so my wife told me to go take a Pilates class. I reached out to them and they recommended I start with their “Classic” class which has more stretching incorporated in the workout compared to the reformer class type which is higher intensity.
Had the most incredible workout I’ve had in a long time. The coach was extremely helpful as I am a beginner and have only ever taken a few Pilates classes before.
I really enjoyed the new Bodybar location.
Made my trip so much more enjoyable being able to stop in for a few classes during my visit to San Diego. Thank you so much for your hospitality. I highly recommend Bodybar La Costa.
