Ascend Pilates — Local services in San Diego

I stumbled upon Ascend Pilates recently and can't stop raving about it! Christie, the owner, has created a little slice of Pilates heaven right here in San Diego.

The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming that it's impossible not to smile when you step through the door. The studio is clean, well-organized, and filled with positive energy.

Christie, is an absolute gem. She's not only incredibly knowledgeable but also brings a lighthearted and fun vibe to every class. She's great at tailoring exercises to different levels, so whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, you'll leave feeling accomplished.

What I love most about Ascend Pilates is that it's not just a place to work out; it's a place to connect, unwind, and invest in yourself. After a session, I always feel more centered, stronger, and ready to take on whatever the day throws my way.

If you're looking for a fantastic Pilates experience with a lighthearted twist, look no further than Ascend Pilates. Christie and her team have truly created something special here, and I can't recommend it enough!

Thank you, Christie, for making every visit to Ascend Pilates an absolute delight. I'm already looking forward to...

Mariana is MAGIC!!? I went to see her to "try out the new equipment etc" It wasn't formal and it didn't feel like much of a "workout." She knows I have scoliosis and a bucket of other diagnosis for my lower spine. When I left I was moving without pain for the first time in weeks!?? Ever since that session I've been tryyyying to figure out more about what we did so I can replicate it. My physical therapists have even tried to give me exercises that imitate it but we haven't been able to replicate the strengthening/lengthening/redistribution etc.

Her teaching style isn't intense and her strategy isn't obvious. She's more intuitive and understated.... her knowledge, undertanding, skills etc are shocking and boundless!!? I know she's a fastidious dedicated student of the practice and she has trained in a physical therapist setting, but I'm still WOWED by what she delivered! THANKYOU...

This is a true classical Pilates studio that has transformed my fitness journey. I needed something to balance the running, HIIT classes as well as prevent injury and work my core. Christie at Ascend has changed the game. It is a beautiful studio, with several reformers, towers and other Pilates machines you can not find anywhere else in San Diego. This is not the basic reformer Pilates studio, but a studio focused on classical Pilates (controlled movements and techniques in sequence). I come out of each class feeling like I worked every muscle in my body!! Christie is extremely knowledgeable and so much fun to work with!! She creates unique classes around muscle groups you need to work on and is hands on with corrections and placement! Check...
