My favorite place in San Diego for personal training! I have been coming to Pillar for over 6 years and training twice as week. The training is customized to my goals and I always get pushed hard to get the results I need. I would not be where I am without Colleen and Justin.

If you’re looking for a Pilates studio, I’ll save you some time - this is it. They do individual private sessions or small groups of two to four people, so regardless of the format, you get careful attention to your form and movement. This is not some Club Pilates workout or group fitness class with a teenager hollering at you to get your reps in; this studio engages in high quality Classical Pilates. If you’re thinking of trying Pilates for the first time, getting back into Pilates after a short break (or Pandemic-long break, lol), or if you are recovering from an injury, I’d highly recommend this studio. They know what they’re doing, so you can get an amazing workout and start moving and feeling better right from the get go. For years they’ve had a studio down in Solana Beach, but this year they have a new studio in Carlsbad, which I find even more convenient. Their flat-rate pricing is nice whether you prefer to buy a class pack or pay-as-you-go. The instructors are fabulous, particularly the owner, Colleen. Her ability to cue you to move slightly differently and get the move just-right is unmatched, and she’s just a wonderful, giving person. Trust me; you will love her classes.

Vacationing in Carlsbad for 6 weeks from Rancho Mirage, CA to escape the heat. Was overjoyed to be able to find a wonderful Pilates studio near where we are staying n Carlsbad. I take classes at home in the desert 3 times a week. So, finding Coleen’s studio was so perfect. The studio has great equipment. New and diverse. My husband has joined me for a few group classes and a semiprivate and enjoys the workout as much as I do.The instructor, Coleen, is highly skilled in every aspect of movement. I believe she was trained as a dancer which lead to her interest in other aspects of how to keep the human body healthy and strong. She is one of the very best instructors I’ve ever worked with and I’ve been taking Pilates for over 25 years. I highly recommend Coleen’s studio.

Tucked away from the 101, it's so easy to miss this wonderful, absolutely amazing, life changing studio, and this would be a mistake. Michelle, one of the studios leading trainers is incredible. I arrived in tremendous pain, frustrated, exasperated, and feeling helpless. She put together a personalized workout specific to my needs and within 2 sessions, I was moving again, nearly pain free, visibly stronger & feeling renewed hope. Together with Colleen, the studio owner, they are two of the most caring and conscientious people I've ever met. For anyone dealing with any sort of sports injury or otherwise, knees or back problems, or just generally looking to become healthier and stronger, this is the answer!!! Their approach is tailored and targeted, and your time together is always invaluable because they truly go the extra mile.

Pillar Performance is a fantastic gym. The trainers are knowledgeable and friendly and the environment is supportive without the pressure or superficiality of some big-box gyms. I love that they offer both pilates and strength training, which really compliment each other if you do both. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants a great personal trainer.

I don't know what I'd do without my regular exercise routine with pillar. I work a high-stress job, and the high-quality and challenging workouts are crucial to my overall health, not just my physical strength and stamina. Since training with the pillar staff doing both personal training and Pilates, I have lost over 20 pounds of body fat. I feel stronger than I have since college, and my posture is better than it has been in years. The atmosphere is much more inviting than the big gyms I've been in, and at pillar you feel like you are not just a number, but part of a team. I'll be working out with pillar for as long as they will put up with me.
