I’ve been attending classes at Pilates Republic for over two years, and they continue to impress me. The instructors are incredibly talented, and every front desk associate is welcoming, kind, and always willing to help—especially if it’s your first class. I remember feeling intimidated when I started, but I was immediately made to feel comfortable and shown how to set up my footbar and straps.
Each studio is clean, beautifully decorated, and stocked with versatile reformers that allow seamless movement without interrupting the flow. Every instructor provides clear verbal cues while demonstrating movements, which is very helpful.
What I love most is the consistency—no matter who’s teaching, every class strikes the perfect balance of familiar exercises to improve form and fresh movements to keep things exciting. Each instructor adds their own creative touch while maintaining that consistency I value.
I also appreciate that they always offer options to challenge myself when I’m ready but never pressure me into anything I’m uncomfortable doing. Even after two years, the workouts remain challenging, fun, and rewarding. I can truly feel myself growing mentally and physically stronger every time I go.
Parking is easy to find at both the Del Mar and Encinitas locations. The app is super easy to navigate, making class scheduling seamless. Plus, there are so many membership options and class packages to fit your schedule and needs—and the pricing is beyond fair.
Pilates Republic keeps me motivated, inspired, and excited to show up for myself. I highly recommend this studio and its...
Read moreHappy Update: It’s been ten months since I started doing Pilates at Pilates Republic and I’m still loving it! Looking back to my first trial week and enduring my first full month, I never imagined I would stick to Pilates but Pilates Republic changed the game for me. Before working out here, I wasn't a huge fan of working out in group settings in fear of being judged. However, the instructors here are so encouraging and motivating that I overcame my fear of group workouts very quickly! All of the ladies I've met so far that workout here are so kind and make me feel incredibly welcomed. Pilates has made me feel confident, renewed, and empowered!
All of the instructors at the Pilates Republic studio are warm, friendly, and professional. They are true experts, you really can't go wrong with choosing an instructor here! I personally attend Rachel Pena's classes because I find her to be innovative, inspiring, and makes working out fun. You can tell that she truly loves what she does because of how knowledgeable and refreshing she is.
Overall I love the local, community family feel that the staff exudes - Shout out to Courtney, Sarah T and AnnMarie! I'm excited to finally find something that I enjoy doing for exercise and always look forward to my weekly workouts! Thank you to everyone who take care of us at...
Read moreI love this studio and all of the classes. My biggest complaint is the cancelation policy. When I first started, I had up until 6 hours before the class started to cancel without penalty. Then they changed it to 2 hours which was honestly awesome. The. They changed it to 8 hours which is worse than it was before.
The problem is the classes are often full and you have to join a waitlist. When I had up until 2 hours before, it was easy to make it into the classes which is what should matter. My schedule constantly changes so I’ve been in a class and not sure I can make it but since I don’t want to get charged, I keep it and then cancel last minute if I can’t do it, where now the person on the waitlist probably can’t do it either. I’ve also attended classes that were full with multiple empty reformers - those people probably would have canceled their spot and give them to people on the waitlist if they can avoid getting charged. None of this would be an issue if the classes weren’t so consistently full, but it’s hard for some people to pick their class times so...
