Vida Pilates UC

I wish this place is in LA so I can go there more often!
Instructor Paula is great — with her well thought routine, catchy songs and sexy moves she makes an hour of intense exercise seem so effortless! Me and my friend who took me there had so much fun that we definitely want to come back next time I am in town.

Vida Pilates is a great studio full of amazing teachers! It’s not easy finding a good studio with good instructors but this place really knows what they’re doing. My personal favorite instructors are Cris and Marin, they are so informative & they play the BEST music. They’re so hands-​on and really help correct your form throughout the whole class so you can do the exercises right. All the classes are fun and the teachers really motivate you to get a good workout in and you always leave feeling great. Good posture, fit body, strong core and good breathing all comes with Vida!!!

There was a groupon for a great deal, and I’ve been meaning to get back into pilates, so the timing was right.
My classes have gone great! Classic morning mat with Tracy was really personal. Class size is small, so Tracy was able to give one-​on-​one help and direction whenever someone (like me) needs guidance. It was such a nice, relaxing stretch to start the morning.
I didn’t realize that Vida Pilates also offer zumba classes! After hearing so much about it, I decided to give it a try. My teacher was Paula, and her energy is just infectious. At first, I was self-​conscious, but it became obvious that the main goal is to have fun while moving your body. What a great work out!
Once my groupon deal is done, I plan on continuing my classes. Keep an eye out for their special packages!

I’ve been at Vida UC for about six months now and I love it. I started out with a Groupon deal, which is a steal, and continued with specials they offered. As a college student I was looking for a better way to stay in shape than my sporadic visits to the gym. Once I started, I was hooked. The instructors are amazing and will push you while still offering lots of encouragement. I genuinely look forward to my workouts and have never been disappointed after. I try to fit in three classes a week while working around my class and work schedule. Fortunately their class schedule has a good variety of times that work great for me. While they are a little pricey they offer great monthly specials that make it way more affordable. If you haven’t tried Pilates or are looking for a beautiful, clean studio with awesome instructors you definitely should check out Vida (both locations UC and La Jolla are fabulous).

Just finished my early morning intermediate Pilates class here and it was brilliant. Cris took us through a great workouts, I love the way I get challenged. At each class I learn something new and each instructor brings variety. Thanks for having talented instructors. I highly recommend Vida UC.

Vida is amazing! All of the instructors are committed to making each class a new and challenging experience. My personal favorite instructors are Cris, Maddie and Ian! When you sign up for one of their classes you better be ready for the way you’ll be feeling the next day!
As someone who had never done pilates before, Vida was the perfect place to start. Now I go 2 – 3 times a week and walk out of each class stronger and more flexible.
Now I love pilates and wouldn’t go anywhere other than Vida!

This studio is beautiful, just like their other Vida La Jolla location. The studio is nice and smells lovely as soon as you walk in! All the instructors are great! Cris will give you an amazing booty workout, Marianna is so sweet and amazing — her workout kind of sneaks up on you later in the day. Ian is fabulous — you can tell he loves helping everyone get the best out of their workout. Ana is just great, she has such amazing energy and intense, awesome sessions! Maddy is great, she really know how to tech to the level of everyone in her classes — which is awesome if you want that extra challenge. Caleigh is a new instructor at Vida, but she is very experienced and really knows how to give you an amazing, feel good workout! I haven’t taken Jackie or Laura’s class yet, but have heard only good things about her classes. Tracy teaches the Silver 55+ classes, some Level 1’s and the pilates mat classes — I also have not taken from her, but have only heard lovely things about her, too. Paula and Arleen teach Zumba, which I have yet to try — but am trying to get the courage to take them — because their classes are full almost all the time — so they must be doing something right. All the instructors here are amazing, you need to take a few different instructors to find the ones that are perfect for you — one tip — provide feedback to the owners — they really listen to you!
