Body Design - Newport Beach

Body design is hands down the most beautiful Pilates studio I've ever been to. It's above a movie theater which is funny because as soon as you walk into the studio it's just so bright and airy with stunning views. I really value beautiful well kept places and working out here really makes me feel inspired. The classes are also great and I love that they are 60mins. There is a bit of learning curve to find the right instructors. I prefer a more advanced challenging class so I did have to try a few different instructors before I was able to find a couple who really push you. Overall though all the classes are lovely even the slower ones you still leave feeling longer and leaner. There was only one time ever I took a class from someone who I genuinely did not like and experienced a really terrible energy from. I now know who it is and haven't gone to one of hers since and love the vibes of all the other instructors.

One of my absolute favorite studios in OC! I love that the class sizes are small and that the instructors give so much feedback throughout class. The studio is gorgeous and I love the floor length windows and that the instructors keep the doors open during class, especially during the craziness of COVID when I want to remain as risk-free as possible. There is plenty of parking as well which is a huge bonus. My favorite instructors are Jill, Katie and Alex. I've also tried Kiki and Katherine's classes too and loved them as well. Only downside is the prices of the classes are more expensive than other studios and as a student, the costs can be tough to bear.

I saw Susan for a gyro class! Beautiful work great location and facilities. Beautiful views. Clean rooms and friendly staff. Susan has 20+ years of experience to share. Loved my first class ever on the gyrotonic machines

Their primary trainer, Richard, is sleeping with, not one but, multiple clients some of whom are married (as is he). I would not support this business until they acknowledge this violation of ethics and remove Richard from their staff.

So unfortunate because its a beautiful studio with talented instructors— I saw a blue lives matter/thin blue line propaganda sticker up. With three folks being killed in the past two weeks, I was surprised to see it appear now. As you all know, one is not born blue; it’s a chosen profession with its own risks and rewards. Those in my family who chose to serve, do so to uphold the value of each and every American life. Black folks are being killed at a disproportionate rate by police officers as a result of systemic societal dehumanization of black and brown lives; there’s no need to stand with the same mistaken loyalty that yields death to Americans.
