The best Pilates in town. Matthew is completely attentive, dedicated, and meets each client’s needs in a personalized and individual way. A top-quality professional with incredible training. My performance improved incredibly after I started taking classes with him. Matt truly knows what he’s doing. I recommend him a thousand times. The best Pilates in town.

Always feel so good after Matt’s classes. I’ve tried a few other Pilates studios and keep coming back to his classes. Love the structure of his class and that he has a physical therapy background, so he is always making sure you are doing the movements safely and correctly!

I joined class pass at the beginning of the year and have tried a few Pilates studios. Matt’s class at Body Alchemist is 100% my favorite. Matt is very kind, patient, and tailors each class to the people in it. I was so nervous jumping into Pilates at first and didn’t know what to expect, but Matt made me feel very comfortable. I always learn something new going to his class. I also really enjoy the smaller class size, it always feels like a very personalized class. I cannot recommend Matt enough!

I had such a great experience in Matt’s Pilates class! He’s an excellent teacher patient, knowledgeable, and able to explain movements in a way that really clicks. His attention to form made me feel safe while still challenged, and his positive energy kept the class fun and motivating. I left feeling stronger, more flexible, and already excited for the next session. I had a surgery and he is helping me with my recovery process very well. I also was dealing with neck pain but my pain is almost gone. Highly recommend his class to anyone, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced! He is great !

Matt’s Pilates classes are truly my favorite to go to! I had never been to Pilates before, and Matt made me feel so comfortable as a newbie. He’s extremely welcoming, friendly, and makes everyone feel comfortable and supported. His positive energy and polite, encouraging attitude make a huge difference. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping each person in the class. It’s such a great environment overall, and I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Highly recommend his classes to anyone looking for an amazing Pilates experience!

Matt at Body Alchemist is the absolute best. He takes time to explain every move and exercise to you. He is so personable, and pleasant every time, I only come to him! He knows how to adjust the class to suit your level of comfort and he is so knowledgeable about not only Pilates but physical therapy as well. I love Matt’s class and look forward to seeing him weekly. I would definitely recommend his class for anyone interested in starting Pilates, and for those already experienced!

I love coming to work out with Matt because our sessions are very international. He listens to your body and modifies accordingly. Coming from someone who haves a previous back injury and a shorter person, some exercises are more difficult for me. But, that isn’t an issue for me any longer working with Matt! I never feel intimidated because I may not be getting a pose right away. He simple comes and adjusts you! This my favorite studio by far! Matt haves a forever client in me! Thank for all that you do Matt!

Matt is an incredible and highly skilled teacher. I tried four studios before coming to him and he is hands down the best in the area. I have cervical stenosis and he makes sure my form is perfect, and that I’m not uncomfortable or in pain. I’ve done over 25 classes with him and I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in. He has a strong physical therapy background as well which translates into his Pilates teaching. I’ve recommended to friends who also go to his classes regularly now. He’s on ClassPass and Mindbody! Just go if you’re even slightly considering it.

I've been taking Pilates classes with Matt for a while now, and I can confidently say tht he is one of the best instructors I've ever had. Their deep knowledge of Pilates, combined with a thoughtful and personalized approach to teaching, makes every class both challenging and enjoyable.
He pay close attention to each student’s form and individual needs, ensuring that everyone progresses safely and effectively. What I appreciate most is their ability to create a supportive and motivating environment that keeps me focused and engaged.
If you’re looking for a professional, dedicated, and truly inspiring Pilates instructor, I highly recommend Matt

I love Matt!!! I always get an excellent workout every time I come to his class. I’ve been to many different Pilates classes throughout San Diego and Matt is hands down my favorite. I always get something out of his class, different moves that work out different muscles. He’s always there to correct form or change weights as needed. I really can’t say enough great things about him, just try it out.. you won’t be disappointed. I am moving to Chicago in 2 weeks and his classes are one of the things I will miss the most. So, thank you Matt for all you do and for putting so much thought, love and intention into each of your workouts. Cheers to you!

I’ve been consistently attending Matt Moriera’s pilates classes at Body Alchemist for the past five months, and the transformation I’ve experienced has been incredible. My strength, flexibility, and endurance have all improved noticeably, and I credit that largely to Matt’s expert instruction and supportive approach.
Matt is a friendly, welcoming instructor who creates a space where people of all experience levels feel comfortable and encouraged. His teaching style is clear, approachable, and easy to follow, making each class feel both accessible and challenging in the best way.
What I especially love is how he keeps every class fresh. He switches things up regularly, so you’re never stuck in a routine. You’ll always be learning something new and working different parts of your body.
If you’re considering starting pilates or looking for a new instructor, I couldn’t recommend Matt more highly. His classes are a game-changer!

Matt’s Pilates classes are fantastic! I really appreciate that he helps and gives you corrections to make sure your body is in the proper posture. That makes a huge difference In both the short term and long-term for your own personal Pilates practice. Small class size definitely makes a big difference in personal attention. I always feel like I get the most out of my body when I go to Matt’s classes!

One of the best Pilates studios and instructors that San Diego has to offer. He has a physical therapy background, so he knows the proper way to modify movement for those of us with sports injuries. Fun, challenging, adventurous class setting. Been a member since February and have brought many friends to Matt!

Matt does more than teach a class. He understands that everyone moves differently and he gives personal attention to everyone. He motivates and educates and he really cares about his clients.
