I have been doing Pilates for over a year now and recently moved to the area. I never enjoyed class session workouts as I feared doing exercises incorrectly. I decided to give Pure Pilates a shot and let me just say AMAZING! Andrew was great and very welcoming. He took his time to demonstrate stretches and also assure positions were done effective and correct. Not only was it relaxing, but my core felt amazing afterwards. Always look forward to the burning abs after my Pilates workout and Andrew came through! Definitely coming back.

Andrew is a great instructor - whenever I wasn’t exactly sure what I was supposed to be doing, he proactively repeated the instructions or described another way to make sure everyone was following along. The class was a good balance of strength building and stretching!

I am a brand-new member of Pure Pilates in Arroyo Grande, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Before moving to this area, I took Pilates classes in several locations in Los Angeles, so I had an idea of what I was looking for--a studio that was conveniently accessible to me, with a welcoming environment, excellent instructors, and a variety of classes and times.

After exploring several other options, it was immediately clear to me that Pure Pilates had everything I wanted. I met with Amanda before joining and got a tour of the facilities, which were bright, clean, and impeccably maintained. It was the closest place to my home and offered plenty of parking. The website was easy to navigate, so signing up and booking my first couple of classes was a breeze. On the morning of my first session, the instructor and other participants were friendly and made me feel instantly at ease. I took a reformer class, and all the equipment and accessories were clean and neatly organized; the instructor, Andrew, was clear and supportive, providing a full-body workout with just the right amount of challenge and a rewarding sense of accomplishment. I left with the great feeling of having exercised well--and the next morning's gentle ache in certain places confirmed that we had indeed worked hard--but also with an eagerness to return soon for another class.

I am so glad that I discovered Pure Pilates! I can already tell that I am going to enjoy coming here on a regular basis to do something good for my body, as well as my state of mind.

I purchased the introductory 5 classes and would totally recommend it to anyone who wants to give pilates a try or has experience and is  looking for a studio.  Pure Pilates was my very first experience with pilates and it was great. The space is very welcoming with good energy and the perfect size to fit a class but not too big to make it feel impersonal. The instructors were also welcoming, kind and patient which was awesome because I didn’t really know what to expect and felt a little intimidated. I loved my 5 class experience, felt encouraged and supported by the instructors and definitely felt the “judgement free vibe”.
Pure Pilates is a hidden gem and yes it was a little hard to find nestled between small shops on Skyway and Orcutt Expy but definitely worth searching out.

Pure Pilates is a great little Pilates studio. It was my first time taking a Pilates reformer class and felt comfortable. Bryn is a great instructor and very motivated to help people and build up their confidence. Would recommend trying this studio, especially if it’s your first time.

I recently attended my first class at Pure Pilates and had mixed feelings about the experience. While the workout itself was great, the way the instructor, Emily, interacted with me wasn’t ideal. When I mentioned I had done Pilates before, she seemed skeptical.

I only struggled with one movement, but Emily treated me and my friend like we couldn’t handle certain exercises, even though we were familiar with Pilates. While she gave the rest of the class options to challenge themselves, she didn’t offer the same to us, which felt off. We both noticed this, and it made the experience less enjoyable.

The class seemed well-paced, and I appreciated the workout, but it would be helpful if the instructor didn’t assume limitations based on a single moment of confusion. Offering more options to everyone, regardless of perceived skill level, would create a more inclusive environment.

Overall, I enjoyed the workout, but I’m not sure I’d return to a class led by Emily.

Great class! Pushed me a little which I needed.

This was my very first time trying Pilates so I booked a private session with Dominique , I was very happy with everything. The studio was beautiful, very clean and Dominique was amazing , she made me feel comfortable and welcome and showed that she cared that I had a good experience as well as a good workout . One of the things that stood out to me was how she asked for permission to touch me every single time , I did not mind at all but I was very pleased with her level of respect for me. I enjoyed this experience so much that I want to book with her more often . 10/10 i definitely recommend this place . P.S. if you’re new to Pilates please take advantage of the beginner deal and book the private sessions they are so worth it and very helpful .

I had  never done Pilates in my life, and I was a bit nervous, but Amber made me feel at home. She was always attentive, checking my postures and helping me with the equipment.
Additionally , I loved the studio; the group is small, it’s well located, and there’s plenty of parking space. I am very excited to have started this new adventure and can’t wait for my next class.

This was my first pilates class in years. It’s a small studio with 6 reformers. Dominique taught the class, and she’s a great teacher. I felt very welcomed, and she offered different options (light-heavy) with modifications. There are classes before and after, so something to consider if you arrive a little earlier. Overall very nice experience and would come back!
