Because of the incredible way that pilates has impacted us personally, as well as the amazing transformations our clients have shared with us, we wanted to provide a place for people to come and experience all of the benefits firsthand. And that is WHY we opened Powerhouse Pilates - a studio dedicated to sharing our passion for pilates with our community and making fitness FUN and challenging!
Our instructors have all completed a 500-hour Comprehensive Pilates Certification and partake in continuing education through many other workshops regularly. Each instructor brings their own uniqueness, dedication, and enthusiasm to their teaching style. We ask that you PLEASE take an INITIATE reformer class prior to coming to an ACCELERATE reformer class.

Pilates is a popular workout for getting toned and achieving personal growth - both mentally and physically. It utilizes resistance training, controlled exercises and concentrated breathing & movement to link the body and mind. Joseph Pilates was the original creator who developed 500 specific exercises to grow the body-mind connection that now make up pilates.
Ohhhhh the sweet stuff if you're like so many Americans today, overindulging in those tasty treats has become far too familiar. Beets may not be a dinnertime staple, but here's why they should absolutely be in your diet! This vibrant root veggie is popular for runners (and athletes-alike) because of their incredible effects on endurance and stamina.

I love Powerhouse Pilates for so many reasons. The instructors are fantastic, the schedule they offer is better than any other studio I have seen, the owners are 'rad', and they offer so many different types of classes - you can go every day and get a totally different workout. Awesome on every scale. I have been to a lot of Pilates studios in the area and haven't found anyone who can compete at all with this great studio. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to try Pilates or who already loves Pilates. Check them out for yourself!

Powerhouse Pilates is great. I've been going for a few months and have resolved some back issues I had and feel myself improving my strength. All the instructors have been awesome and the classes are 50min so I feel like I get a good workout in short time. The workouts always vary and move quickly between moves so it keeps me interested. The instructors have their own music playlists and I like the variety. I highly recommend.

I can’t say enough great things about this place. The instructors are all incredible and welcoming, the studio is not pretentious, and the monthly option and class bundles are the most affordable I’ve seen. I also have seen significant changes in my fitness and body since I started a few months ago.

One of my go-to pilates studios in San Diego. I prefer the ACCELERATE class which is tradional pilates with cardio and strength training additions. I always get an amazing workout while still staying gentle on my joints. The instructors are amazing and very talented. The studio itself is pretty big, with over 10 reformers. They also have limited parking available in a shared lot which is a huge perk.

I highly recommend Powerhouse Pilates because the overall operation is professional and run well. The exercise space is clean, organized, and welcoming. The instructors are knowledgeable, attentive, and accommodating to individual needs. The equipment is top-notch and maintained well. The classes and space are just the right size, not too big especially. When I ran into a scheduling problem, it was quickly and thoughtfully resolved. I especially appreciated efforts to meet my needs as a visitor in the area.

This place is AMAZING!!! We were in San Diego on vacation and I couldn't have been more delighted to find such an incredible studio at such a reasonable price! The instructors were tough but good and they gave great feedback/direction on how to improve my workout! I would recommend this place to anyone who loves Pilates, you won't be disappointed!!!

I am little reluctant to write this review, but for selfish reasons as it's already hard enough to get into prime time classes at this studio. This is by far the best Pilates studio I've been to in SD, and I've been to a lot. Every instructor is welcoming, upbeat (not in an annoying Richard Simmons way), knowledgeable and challenging. Some teachers are more challenging than others but for the most part the classes are taught in three levels: Initiate - slower paced, easy and for beginners. (I haven't taken an initiate class for years, but if your new to Pilates (or really out

I did the ACCELERATE class taught by Liz on Sunday morning while I was in San Diego for a quick vacation and she is one of the best fitness instructors I've had the pleasure of working with. She paid such close attention to every individual in the room and somehow managed to memorize everyone's name and led a great and challenging workout. I would 100% come back if I lived in SD.

LOVE this Pilates studio!!!!! I was raised in a dance classroom setting so being back in a studio feels like home to me. On top of being on time and professionally run, Powerhouse Pilates is relaxed, stylish, and you never feel that "new student" uncomfortable feeling. I can tell there are friendships being made between the students and teachers and that kind of support is so encouraging when you're being challenged physically and mentally. There are different levels so you can find a class that fits your needs, but it does not take long to start feeling the strength you are gaining

This is my favorite Pilates studio in SD! The instructors are very knowledgeable, give great cues to make sure you're getting the most from the exercises, and have great personalities! From my first class here, I felt welcome and would recommend this studio to beginners as well as advanced students. Don't forget to bring your socks!

I'm so happy to have this Pilates studio in the neighborhood. They offer a variety of levels and styles of classes every day that virtually there is something for everyone. All of the instructors are amazingly fab and can help modify a workout if needed. The classes are affordable and they offer great packages for classes too. Thank you Powerhouse Pilates for coming to PB! If you've ever wanted to try Pilates, go take a class at PowerhousePB. You will not regret it!

This is a fantastic Pilates studio in Pacific Beach! The classes are very well designed, and challenging for every fitness level. I've taken classes from multiple different instructors, and all are good! I really like that the instructors give you modification options for exercises if they are too hard or easy for you. The studio is always clean and very well maintained, and I have had success finding parking in the lot out front. I really need to buy a package and get back into the studio!

This place is great. I've been taking Pilates for over 10 years now and these instructors really know their stuff. The studio is clean, affordable, and super convenient for me to get to. It was formerly Club Pilates and just recently changed the name, but all of my paid classes have rolled over so other than the name on the door, and the class titles, I haven't seen any difference. I would HIGHLY recommend this studio, especially if you're looking for real Pilates from experienced trainers. I absolutely adore Jennifer and Stephanie's styles of teaching as well as Vanessa.

I'm so happy to have discovered pilates and I thank club pilates for that! I came here for the first time about a month ago and I'm now a regular :) Jennifer is a great instructor and makes the class fun.
I really like how pilates incorporates core, arms, butt and overall good form into the class.
If you have never done Pilates - club Pilates is a great place to start!

This is the best Club Pilates in San Diego. I had a less than positive experience at a different Club Pilates and had sworn them off. However, The people who run this location know what they are doing. I have been doing Pilates off and on for years and am more of a traditionalist when it comes to Pilates. I have pretty high standards, too, being in the fitness industry and writing/editing a national Pilates publication. I've been to many, many studios and tried many different teachers. This location has THE right recipe.
For starters, it's gorgeous and clean on the inside. The equipment
