Comment: Absolutely love my classes with Bianca and Alyssa. I’ve been coming to this studio for several years and they always give you the the best workout, listening and adjusting as needed, but still pushing you to improve day by day. Bianca is such a knowledgeable and sweet instructor, she always has the best playlists. Thanks to her I feel more secure with my form and have significantly improved my core strength. I love Alyssa’s energy, she definitely makes you break a sweat! The studio itself is well outfitted, clean, and spacious, even with a full class.

Comment: Ive been attending this studio for over 7 years. Ive never found another studio that has been more enjoyable. I now live in Fallbrook and commute back when I go to work down in San Diego a few times a week because the studios in my area dont compare. The instructors are well picked and always consistent in their professionalism and skill. The studio itself has the very best equipment and the variety is the best! I feel at home whenever I go in and have enjoyed meeting other students there. Its always a pleasure when you leave a place feeling like a million bucks!!

Comment: Don’t be fooled by the good reviews on here - they are reviews of the previous Pilates studio at this location, Beyond Pilates. Basi has uninspiring teachers and really bad customer service.

Comment: Love this studio, all the instructors have so much to offer, truly educated. Bianca is a new member to the team, and she is a great addition, she takes inventory of her clients injuries and keeps her eye on you and checks on you to keep you moving in a safe manner, and she’s fun. She is very charismatic. All the studios are very welcoming. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Comment: Took a “Pilates for beginner class” for the first time with Bianca. Dont expect a warm welcome. It’s a “beginner class” but you definitely need to have prior knowledge about Pilates and how to use the equipment because little guidance will be given. You just have to “look to your neighbor” to figure it out. I made the most of the experience because in the end of the day I paid. I’m just happy I didn’t prematurely purchase a 10 class pass before I tried it out. There are better places with better customer service

Comment: In July of 2019 I I was hospitalized for a neuro toxicity event.i spent week in hospital. The doctors Diagnosed me with Guillain Barre. Filled me with IVG IV therapy and sent me home.I realized the toxicity was from Botox injections in my armpits for excessive sweating.A week later I experienced neuro motor abnormalities. I had gait disturbance, issues with swallowing, my arms were paralyzed and weakened to point I could not raise my arms above my shoulders and my strength was weakened to point I could not even lift my small dogs 7 and 13 lbs. It took 3 months for the effects to wear off and a team of homeopathic practitioners to work with me to heal.After recovering from 3 months of this I was very weak.I returned Basi Pilates in December 2019.I started at the Kensington studio.It saved my life. Eventually I started going 5 days a week. I got my mobility and strength back, Lost 20 lbs., I’m in great shape now thanks to all the wonderful support and awesome instructors.I have my favorite classes with Instructors, Kristy, Kristen and Doug. Brad the owner is always assessable and quick to help. Basi Kensington is a community to me. Everyone is so caring and supportive.I can’t say enough positive things. I am so grateful for my experience and physical transformation.Thank you team Kensington!Kevin

Comment: Had a great experience with the trainer Kristy today! (I think that’s how it’s spelled, sorry) I’ve been here about 3 times now, I’ve only taken the beginner classes because I’m really trying to get my form together before moving on. That was what she had said I should do and I appreciate that she’s not just trying to push me into the next class!Very clean and nice studio, they instruct you to wash hands before and after and have paper towls, spray ready for you to whipe down your equipment right after so I feel very safe!The trainer is always really great at being able to tell if you need assistance, without having to stop your workout and wave them down and that’s very important to me because I hate getting out of the grove I’ve made. Really great place and love grabbing coffee or lunch somewhere near by right after!

Comment: I have been going to Beyond Pilates for several years now and I love the diversity of classes from Spin, Pilates, Yoga, Cardio Barre. It is a great mix of classes for the price. All the instructors are knowledgeable and happy to be there. And most importantly, the owner is always responsive if you have a question about payment, classes, changing plans or need to take a break due to extensive work travel. Unlike other owners of local Pilates studios, the owner here immediately gets back to you and there is no quibbling over details...he always takes care of the customer. And I know that this is not his full time job which makes it even more lovely to do business with Beyond Pilates.

Comment: I was looking for a low impact but physically challenging group workout setting which lead me to Beyond Pilates. Absolutely love the motivated/ happy instructors. The instructions were able to help me modify my workouts to accommodate my knee injuries. They offer a great variety of classes wether youre looking for strength training or more of cardio workout. Plus, the locations of the studios are sprinkled throughout SD making it even easier to attend classes. I started out by purchasing a Groupon for 6 classes and became hooked on Pilates. Give Beyond Pilates a try.

Comment: Beyond Pilates is where I discovered Pilates. A friend bought me a Groupon and tried it for the first time 3 years ago December. I was hooked from then. It is a great workout for all body types and fitness levels, targeting every area for a full body workout in 50 minutes. What sets Beyond Pilates from other studios starts at the top with the owner Brad. All his studios are run well, clean, and he aims to provide some of the best instructors . The instructors here are well trained and allowed to incorporate their own styles into the workout giving the client choices on which classes are best for their fitness level.. No “ cookie cutter” workouts here, that I have encountered at other pilate studios . I have gained strength, a leaner body, and balance along with a sense of community from my classmates . Here at Beyond the instructors encourage you to be the best you that you can be . So grateful I discovered this practice and this studio . I am forever a Pilates girl.

Comment: I’ve been attending classes at this studio for a year now and have really developed an appreciation for the art of Pilates. The knowledge and experience that’s shared is outstanding. I value each instructor for their unique abilities. They all have a passion for wellness and it’s apparaebt that they want each individual to succeed; no matter what goals each student has. They embrace new comers and make it a valuable experience regardless of the experience of mixed classes- that’s no easy task. I’m never bored and I continue to feel like I’m making progress at my own pace, with great encouragement from instructors. Most students are kind and welcoming. I stay within my level of experience and each instructor for that level makes it a new experience; from their variety of methods, energy, style and even music. My experiences have been with Jackie, Jamie, Kristi and Yadira. Some subs in between, who do a great job as well. Great job, ladies! You are why I attend!

Comment: I’ve taken reformer Pilates classes in many studios in San Diego and several states around the US. What I look for in a studio is the reformers, because not all reformers are the same quality. Next, I look at the instructors — do they know what they’re doing; do they care about form and do they guide you in that way. Pilates is a great form of exercise, but form is EVERYTHING. Otherwise you can hurt yourself really bad. I was lucky to have had instructors who care and have taught proper form, so when I’m in class with a teacher who cares not much about how you hold your form, i never come back for a second class. Beyond Pilates has fulfilled my expectations! My experience with the instructors has been great! If you are interested in taking a Pilates class in a studio that has competent instructors and great reformers...do so at BEYOND PILATES. And... I’m going to give a special recommendation to my favorite instructor there who I think is super conscientious about FORM. Alissa Pankow teaches the Reformer Jump Class, which is a workout, and she does a wonderful job! She pays attention to what I do and corrects my firm. I’m grateful. She’s mentally present in class, because some instructors are not. She makes sure you get a good, safe workout. Finally...and this is huge. You can talk to a live person in the office!!! Yay! And the gentleman who I speak with who handles my charges, my account, and anything else related to the business aspect is a joy to deal with! Beyond Pilates...keep up the great job!!! Maria

Comment: I have been working out at Beyond Pilates since summer 2017. I had never done Pilates before coming to the studio, and despite my anxiety about trying something new, I felt instantly comfortable and welcome. I was previously a runner and lifted weights, but years of running had worn down my knees and I needed something new. I now attend about 4 times per week, and I absolutely love it! Also, I have definitely experienced positive mental and physical changes as a result of the classes. Beyond Pilates has wonderful teachers, and many different types of classes so it’s easy to stay engaged. The teachers are truly excellent - motivating, energetic, friendly, and they really put time into planning the classes to keep things interesting. Despite attending regularly, I am sore the day after almost every class, which tells me I’m getting a great workout! I have really enjoyed all of the classes I’ve taken, but especially love those led by Devon, Kristi, Yadira, and Wendy. The owner, Brad, has also been very helpful in terms of answering questions, and helping me find a class package that is just right for me. The studios are spotless and equipment is very well maintained. They have great specials for newbies, and overall, I feel that their packages are very reasonable, particularly given the small group format and the level of attention this affords, the quality of the equipment, the ability to attend multiple studios, and the top-notch instructors. I cannot recommend Beyond Pilates enough! If you are considering trying Pilates, start here!
