Carrieʻs Pilates Saddleback - Trabuco Canyon, California

Before coming to Carrie’s, I’d only been to one Pilates session. I was a bit nervous in a newer setting but instantly felt welcomed by the instructor, Francesca! She was so vibrant and friendly, something I noticed not only to me, but to all!
Getting into session, I’m not gonna lie, it was hard. I was shaking quite a bit but it was a phenomenal workout. Francesca was SUPER knowledgeable about physiology, her cues were on point and she commanded the room with style and grace. I had a hamstring injury which I told her about before the class, and she made sure to inform me on some adjustments that I could make to nurse it, but also work it.
Highly recommend Carrie’s and when you book, look for Francesca 😌

As a first-timer in Pilates, I couldn't have asked for a better experience at Carrie’s Pilates Saddleback! From the moment I stepped in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff put me at ease. The coaches are fantastic—knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly passionate about helping newcomers like me. I feel comfortable at each class and that makes all the difference to me. Their positive energy keeps me motivated! The studio itself is bright and inviting. I leave feeling energized and excited to come back. If you’re new to Pilates or just looking for a great place to practice, I highly recommend Carrie’s Pilates Saddleback studio.

I recently took my first Pilates class at Carrie’s Pilates Saddleback, and I’m already obsessed! My instructor, Brooke, was incredibly motivating and positive, making the workout enjoyable and challenging. She provided clear instructions and personalized encouragement throughout the class, which really helped me push my limits.

The studio has a welcoming atmosphere, and I felt supported every step of the way. I can’t wait to return and continue my Pilates journey! Highly recommend Brooke and Carrie’s Pilates to anyone, whether you’re a beginner or experienced!

I just started taking their beginners level Pilates class and it has been a great experience. I feel so comfortable going there and appreciate how Danielle helps guide you through each move. The classes are tough but adaptable! Will definitely be making this my main workout spot.

I can’t say enough about Carries! All the instructors are great, and Brooke is especially motivating. Her classes are hard but I always feel strong and great about myself getting through them, and keep coming back for more.
All the staff is friendly and go above and beyond too!
I tore my ACL about a year ago, and it has been hard for me to find things I could do to help strengthen my knee and surrounding muscles. Carries has been amazing for my fitness goals and for rehabbing my knee! It feels better than ever and I’m so thankful and happy to have found them! I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good workout, motivating and loving community, and a fun time!

This was my first time trying Pilates, and I’m so happy I found Carrie’s! The studio has such a fun and welcoming vibe, and the instructors are incredibly encouraging. Every class is unique and challenging—I’ve never had the same routine twice! A special bonus is the refreshing eucalyptus towel they hand out after class. I highly recommend Carrie’s to anyone looking for a great Pilates experience!

I love Carrie’s Pilates. I have always been a lifter and didn’t really think Pilates was a training modality I could get into, but with some recent aches and pains, I decided to give it a try. I took my first class with the expectation that we would do a few hard things, but that most of it would be a piece of cake. Was I wrong!!! It was so tough, in all the right ways. My heart rate soared, my muscles shook like crazy, I got sweaty, but my body didn’t hurt like it has with lifting. I continue to take classes and am challenged in every way. They say this type of Pilates is extra spicy and they’re right! It feels more like “performance” Pilates or “training” Pilates, especially considering their machines, called The Transformer (as opposed to The Reformer), offer a large amount of resistance via the spring load. I am amazed at how it’s never easy and I love that! One thing to note is the aches and pains I mentioned have improved since joining.

The teachers are incredible, in particular: Brooke, Francesca, Kaila. They each have their own style of teaching, but they all push, encourage, and inspire me to do my best in every class. Shelley and Dana, the owners, are so welcoming and have created a beautiful community in the short amount of time they have been open. If you’ve ever thought about taking a Pilates class, please give Carrie’s Pilates a try. You won’t regret it.

I love to workout and thought I tried it all until I discovered Carrie’s Pilates. Wow! This is seriously one of the greatest workouts ever!

I also have to say that these are the nicest, friendliest, and most welcoming people that work there. I was a little intimidated at first but I felt at home right away.

I’m about 5 classes in and I’m hooked! The workout is challenging and they are always there to help me modify when I need. So far I’ve had Aubrey, Francesca, & Kaila. They are all wonderful!

I feel so amazing after and they give you a nice cold eucalyptus towel to cool off after. It’s lovely.

Thank you Carrie’s Pilates!!
