Body Evolutions — Local services in Campbell

I highly recommend Body Evolutions Pilates Studio! I've been a client of Body Evolutions for over 18 years and have worked with Sonia for private lessons, duet lessons, reformer classes and even virtual lessons during Covid. Sonia has an amazing knowledge of musculature and body mechanics that she uses in all of her training.

Eighteen years ago I was in my late 20’s and had spent the past decade in a state of near constant back pain. I'd seen various medical professionals including doctors, physiatrists, chiropractors, orthopedic surgeons, and acupuncturists but none was able to provide lasting pain relief. I was regularly throwing my back out, had chronic back pain, and was unable to lift more than 10 lbs without my low back aching. I was told by one orthopedic surgeon after reviewing my MRI’s that I had the spine of a 70 year old (collapsed discs), that I would likely always have pain, and that pilates “might” help a little. I decided to give Pilates with Sonia a try at the recommendation of a friend from work.

When I started working with Sonia, we began with private lessons. She evaluated my body, the way I moved, and how she thought she could help me. She began working with me, teaching me the techniques and focusing on careful precise movements using specific muscles. Once I learned those techniques I was able to take the classes and feel confident that I was doing the exercises correctly so that I would not injure my back. I saw marked improvements in my low back pain, my flexibility, and my overall physical fitness. Over the years she helped me understand my body better, got me past my era of chronic pain, and brought me to the point where I now feel strong and fit and can move confidently without fear of reinjury. I’m now 48 years old and I no longer have back pain - AT ALL.

But Body Evolutions is not just about rehab. My point is that no matter where you are in your journey, whether you have physical problems or whether you’re fit and looking for a challenge to take you to the next level, Body Evolutions will get you where you want to go.

I also recommend that if you’re planning to take classes, do at least a couple of private lessons first - you'll learn techniques that will help you get the most out of...

I have been taking Pilates lessons from Sonia for a few years now and I couldn’t be happier to have made the best investment for my body. Sonia is a highly experienced and certified Pilates trainer and a professional ballroom dancer who has a deep understanding of human anatomy and body movement. Diagnosed with cervical and trapezius injury with severely reduced range of motion, my treatment plan included acupuncture, cortisone shots and high doses of anti-inflammatory drugs which provided temporary relief but with long-lasting side-effects. I reached out to Sonia as I wanted to explore natural healing methods that were sustainable and kind to my body, while building and improving my strength, flexibility and overall fitness. Sonia is extremely kind and patient. She listens. She invests the time and the effort to learn about your abilities/limitations. She built a personalized set of basic & repeatable routines for me to practice both in the studio and at home. Our initial sessions were focused on simple and targeted movements creating greater body awareness. With Sonia’s continued guidance, I have developed a greater mind-body connection, largely healed from my injury, grown stronger and graduated to a level I never imagined possible without further medical intervention. With effort, the possibilities are indeed endless especially when your orthopedic surgeon is astounded by your remarkable turnaround. Sonia’s love and commitment for Pilates is evidenced not only in the well-equipped studio she has lovingly built and nurtured with her husband Chris but also in how she has enabled (& transformed) my physical, mental and emotional well-being and that of all her students. I highly recommend Body Evolutions for both beginners and advanced students, alike. Sonia is...

When I first met Sonia, it was due to my curiosity of the studio name. I was already doing business close by and finally stopped in for more information. That was nine years ago. At that time, I thought I was meeting an immediate goal of strengthening my core; maybe lose a few pounds. What I learned, and found in Sonia, was an amazing teacher & instructor who taught me so much more. I felt my body change and learned I didn’t want to not attend, for too many days, at a time! Pilates and GYROTONIC is happily, a part of my life where I feel balanced, strong, whole, healthy & a part of me. Sonia is attentive to all her students individual needs. In her caring way, she ensures her clients make the adjustments and corrections required, throughout her class. Her passion for her work and clients is clearly evident, making her a leader in the industry.

Still a Five+ Star studio⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve moved from the Bay area and miss Sonia and Chris, in every way! After 1-2 classes, I felt myself with better posture driving. I found myself sitting straighter and more aware of my body. After (and before) fifteen years, Pilates is a part of my life and well being. I owe so much to Sonia, from my very beginning. Both Sonia and Chris are excellent teachers. I still self correct because Sonia is ‘in my ear’ I am so blessed at 72 to be strong, balanced, capable, and able, to keep learning! Another blessing is owning Sonia’s first reformer, when she started teaching. I am honored and thankful, every time I work out. 🥰❤️ You are interested in pilates? Look no further than...
