I love Grass Roots! The studio is so cozy and the instructors are passionate and knowledgable. It’s the most supportive community with students of all ages. I look so forward to my classes and often find myself checking the site to see if I can slip into one as an extra. Nicole, who is the owner, is so kind and knows so much about the Pilates practice. She has a dance background, but most endearing to her is her fun laugh and approachable personality. My body is stronger, feels better and gives me confidence. I’m so glad I found this wonderful studio.

Excellent Studio, Owner and Instructors.
I came to Santa Barbara having some knowledge of Pilates but very little.
Husband & I were living in SB for months. I needed to continue working out, why not Pilates? Grass Roots was literally 10 walk away from our rental, walked by and, fell in love with the space, before I met the people.

These months were challenging for my husband and I. I needed to build strength in my core, which in turned helped build fortitude, and guess what, mental well being! I sailed through all the challenges, and came out the other end stronger.

Here is where it gets exciting-Nicole the Owner, met me, discussed needs, listened and we did our first private. Nicole is really good evaluating strengths, probably my personality (she has a great read on people) and matched me with this lovely instructor Katie who was newish at the time.

Katie was my instructor for the next 3 months (except for Nicole & I had 1 more session). Katie was a ballerina, as was Nicole (by the way). Perfect fit of personalities for me. Katie was good at communication, very observant, yup she saw tired, scared, even encouraged me to try jump box and a few other moves that I quite frankly never would have known about. After 3 months I was so strong (Abs) and was able to do so much!

Consider coming here, doesn’t matter if you are a local or from out of town, they make you feel at home. I think Katie has her own class on Thursdays now one to watch!

What a delightful studio! I was coming in from out of town, called a couple days before and they scheduled two private sessions for me quickly. My instructors were kind, very knowledgeable and the space was lovely. I am very happy to take what I learned from my little time there and bring it back with me for my own continued practice. They both had a fine eye for detail and could tell me micro movements to improve my form. Very grateful and so delighted I was able to practice at Grass Roots while visiting SB!

Nicole and the team at GRP are above and beyond instructors. They are dedicated, highly skilled and incredibly personable. The talented instructors help to ensure that all of the classes are tailored to the needs of the group. I am loving these Pilates classes and feel so grateful to have found such a wonderful studio to practice at. Thank you Nicole :)

“Prenatal Pilates at Grassroots with Jen was an anchor for me throughout my pregnancy. I felt steady and strong throughout all the changes in my body from the first trimester to third; I know Pilates was a contributing factor.”

I've been taking pilates at Grassroots for about six months now, and I love everything about it. The instructors are wonderful--they're so knowledgeable and encouraging--the other clients are fun, and what a great workout! I'm getting stronger, and certainly more flexible, with every expertly led session! Thanks, and keep up the great work!

I am new to Pilates, and after dealing with two knee replacements, have found it’s just what my body needs. I feel better than I have in years. I am getting stronger everywhere. I love Nicole and the other teachers that I have had. They explain the movements perfectly, so I know exactly what to do. They are considerate of everyone’s physical capabilities and are very gentle. An hour of class flies by because it is so much fun.

I started Pilates with private lessons two years ago because I am a lazy person who does not like to exercise. I decided that if I committed to an individual session I would be responsible and make myself go. Much to my surprise I found that I enjoyed the workout so much that I added a group lesson and soon encouraged my 86 year old husband to join me. We also added his daughter and a young family friend so the group lesson soon felt like a Family lesson. Nicole and her staff are very attuned to being aware of what each individual is capable of doing as well as their limitations. Now each week I look forward to my two sessions and have begun thinking of adding a third. Grassroots Pilates is a very professionally run organization and the instructors are top notch.”

Nicole and company make you feel at home with small classes, personalized instruction and accommodation for every level. Her decades of experience as a ballet instructor make her the perfect teacher, owner and coach at Grassroots! It’s an amazing workout and has only helped me with weight training at the gym too. I’ve become stronger, more flexible and most of all, it’s a calm, enjoyable experience that doesn’t feel like I have to make myself go…because I want to.

Nicole is an excellent instructor. She is able to explain techniques clearly and customizes classes for each experience level. Grassroots Pilates is a
warm and nurturing place. Highly recommend!
