Pacific Spin & Strength — Local services in San Jose

Reformer Pilates at this independent gym is the real deal. I’ve been taking this class with Coach Danielle twice a week for just over a month, and I can see progress and positive results that I’m now addicted to.

With only five reformer machines in the studio, you get loads of individualized attention from Danielle. Nearly every time I’m there, there is a fellow participant in the class who is brand new to reformer Pilates, but both myself and the newbie walk away sweating and smiling.

Danielle’s positivity is infectious and inspiring.

Small classes, open to all skills levels across a wide variety of modalities, with the friendliest people you'll ever meet = physical and...

I've never been a gym/workout class person. Pacific Spin & Strength has totally transformed my perspective on gym workouts. I've mostly attended Danielle's Kettle Bells/Core and Spin/Strength classes. After 6 months I'm still loving it. She knows everyone by name and keeps class so positive. Really keeps the mind of the pain my muscles are in!

The interior of the gym itself is colorful and decorated with funky art and motivational quotes. It doesn't feel cold and sterile like most gyms I've been to. Big garage door in the back part of the studio that stays open for...
