I love Pilates. It has changed my body , mind and life. I say This place is legit. Super clean, super knowledgeable instructors, period. I met Doi 8-9 years ago at a studio in LA. She was an instructor and then I heard she opened her studio in OC, I’ve told my friends to go, and they all keep coming here for year until now. Then I moved to OC and started workout with Doi this year - postpartum. Boom, she was good, but she is even GREAT now. Her heart to Pilates is true and deep. She constantly trains herself with higher level master and studies how to make it better for her customers. She challenges herself and I think it’s what makes this studio so different from many other studios in OC. *Keep in mind - this studio is for Classic Pilates- which requires deeper understanding on your body and Pilates. So first, know what you want to train. If you don’t know, just come and try it. I truly enjoy coming here and I believe you will too. Your search is over!
I have been taking Pilates classes with iDo Pilates since 2019 and have been taking classes regularly with all of the current instructors. The instructors - Doi, Jiyeon and Jinsol- are all personable, have a great passion and energy, and continue to motivate to improve as. They also continue to update their Pilates machines and keep the studio clean.
I no longer have back and should pain and workout target the entire body especially the core. I have seen improvements in the area of strength and flexibility. I strongly recommend this place to all.
I just love this place. Pilates is so amazing especially if you work a 9-5 sitting at a desk all day. I always tell my instructor Jiyoun that it's almost like getting physical therapy for having to work in an office.
This place does classic Pilates which really focuses on those deep foundational muscles which helped me with strength, mobility, posture, and your overall figure as well. It especially helps with my rounded shoulders, tight lower back, tight hips, basically non-existent core, and weak ankles (bonus pronation! lol).
I also feel like it helps with circulation because I'm super bloated all the time but usually right after my session I feel so much lighter and less puffy.
I've done personal training (weight lifting) for a couple of months and this is my first 1:1 experience with Pilates besides group reformer classes. I would say that weight lifting and Pilates actually would be fantastic together. But if I had to choose one, I'd go with classic Pilates.
The studio is beautiful -- clean, bright, and modern. The instructors are all very nice and welcoming. Highly recommended for everyone.
