I am picky about my Pilates and the one time I’ve come in here I really loved the vibe of the place and the teacher, the pace, all of it, I enjoyed! I will be back!! I liked the decoration a lot!!

My absolute favorite Pilates studio in SD! I don’t live close so I don’t make it too often (please open a location in OB or Point Loma!) but I go out of my way because this studio is gorgeous and more importantly the instructors are the best! The classes are challenging but you never feel like you’re in a boot camp or lagree class.

I LOVE this studio. Very nice decor & amazing instructors (Summer Twist is AMAZING). Easy parking, perfect difficulty, and a welcoming environment. I’ve been to Pilates studios all over SD, Bay Area, and paris… and this is still one of my favs🩷

Working with Paula Cohen has been an incredible experience. She brings a rare combination of deep expertise, intuitive teaching, and genuine care to every Pilates session. From day one, Paula made me feel supported and challenged in all the right ways. Her ability to tailor each session to my individual needs — whether it’s strengthening, stretching, or rehabilitating — has made a huge difference in my body and mindset.
Since starting Pilates with Paula, I’ve noticed major improvements in my posture, core strength, flexibility, and overall body awareness. Beyond the physical transformation, I always leave her sessions feeling more grounded and energized.
Paula creates a space where you feel seen, encouraged, and empowered — whether you’re a beginner or an experienced mover. She’s an exceptional instructor, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Paula is amazing!

Vida Pilates is such a special place, and that’s 100% because of Paula. She is, without a doubt, the best Pilates teacher I’ve ever had—and honestly, the most thoughtful too. I’ve never had a teacher who genuinely cares this much.

I can’t wait to keep coming back to Vida and to continue learning from Paula—she’s truly one of a kind. :)

I love this place so much! After recovering from a knee injury for over a year, I was extremely nervous about restarting my fitness journey as I had gained over 25 pounds recovering. My very first class was Cardio flow with Bia and I instantly fell in love with the studio. I felt so comfortable and perfectly challenged, I did not hesitate to book my next class. I have now been attending this studio for over 4 months and continue to come back. Each instructor has amazing qualities that make every class a unique experience. It’s crazy to see how much I have progressed in such a short time. I am happy to say that I am getting my confidence and strength back.

First time Pilates girl and loved this studio! Super cute and welcoming. Jenna was such a great instructor and always kept an eye out on every person to make sure form was right and to give words of encouragement! I will be back!

I like this studio a lot. I've been to several different reformer studios and I really like the atmosphere.
Beautiful decor.
Friendliest instructors I've encountered after visiting 4-5 other studios. Will keep coming.

The class I took for all levels was challenging which was great, but I wish there were more mirrors to check form!! I was new and the instructor was helpful in getting me situated and checking in. I do love the atmosphere of the studio!

This studio is stunning. I’m visiting from Seattle and most studios for Pilates are sterile and boring. This is far from that. The best part here is actually the teacher. She was filling in and visiting from Brazil. She kicked our ass and had us putting our head and feet in the o rings. but had a real energy about her she made the class go by quickly.

The class was almost exclusively reformer based which is my preference. I do not wanna be up on the wall or doing weird things with the ball standing up on the machine. I am very picky with Pilates classes and teachers that I like. And she was able to describe what we needed to do without talking too much. 100% would return

I really loved the “reformer precision” with Lala.
She has an amazing energy.
It’s an excellent opportunity to become aware of each part of your body and to make sure you’re doing everything exactly as it should be done.
As she sees you are in right posture she can also challenge you in a way that makes you feel happy to do it. So far it’s the class I enjoyed the most!

I absolutely love this studio. Summer is my favorite instructor and I look forward her candlelight class every Friday. I’ve brought friends and family and everyone has enjoyed it from my brother, mom and friends. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Edited after your quick response: Thanks for your reply and how the prices on MindBody are not under your control.
Review #1-Don't understand the prices! Why are some classes listed for $22, and then the class before and after are listed for $15? Who sets the amount of the class. I've taken the class before for $15, but if I sign up now, it's $22. Very confusing.
😪So sad that Noelia isn't teaching at Vida anymore. She's an amazing instructor and my favorite pilates instructor.

I really love this studio and have taken a few classes with Summer when I visit San Diego. The space is clean and aesthetic. And Summer is such a positive, welcoming, thoughtful, and vivacious instructor! If I lived in San Diego, I would come here weekly!

Very chill studio. The people are friendly and I had a great experience there. I did candlelight pilates with Summer and it was wonderful! We started with meditation and flow into a warm up and then a typical pilates routine.

Cris (proprietor) has always been the very best as an instructor and maintains clean and well maintained reformers / property. Likewise, she continues maintaining very high quality staff that are customer centric.

Parking is easily found, and the surrounding shopping center is helpful too.

Vida Pilates is well worth 5 stars‼️
