Pilates Strong

“I started Pilates to help rehabilitate my knee after a soccer injury. When I started, I couldn't even bend my left knee or do lunges and squats. Now, I have much more mobility and strength than when I first started.”

“I joined Reformer Pilates because I wanted to safely exercise after breaking my back in 2019. All of the instructors are patient with me, and helpful in every class. I don't feel rushed or pressured to go beyond what I physically can do — while still getting the most of my effort.”

“Pilates took 30 years off me. I am as flexible as I was in my 20s, worked muscles I didn't know existed, and I reduced 2 sizes since I started. Alina is the most friendly coach I ever met who deeply cares for all her clients.”

“I love the small class sizes at Pilates Forever, which allow the instructors to give each person individual attention. Alina and the entire team are professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. Every class is fun, challenging, and leaves me feeling stronger and more energized.”

“I love Pilates Forever! I started going over a year ago — before I got pregnant, during pregnancy, and postpartum. Alina does a great job making modifications and corrects your form when needed. It's a great workout with small class sizes. Highly recommend!”

“I started to go to Pilates Forever mainly to gain strength and lose weight. The small class sizes allow for a more personal experience and the instructors are attentive and offer modifications for every body.”

“Attending sessions at Pilates Forever has been a transformative experience. During my pregnancy with twins, my instructor provided invaluable support. Their tailored exercises and gentle guidance made all the difference. Highly recommended for anyone seeking wellness.”

“Alina did a perfect job training and helping me with Pilates. I hurt my ACL last year and she helped me regain the strength in my leg and get back to exercise. I really appreciate her help.”

“I have tried other Pilates classes before, but Pilates Forever is none like the others. I absolutely love this place. Alina is a fantastic trainer and she works with you to attain your goals.”

“I've been taking Pilates lessons with Alina for the last 6 months and I love it. I started because of my back pain, and she helped a lot to strengthen my core and muscles. Even after my pains are mostly gone, I keep coming back.”

“The BEST Pilates studio in town. I've been coming here for almost 2 years and I plan to never leave. I love that sessions are in small groups and the instructors are amazing. They make you work hard but you also enjoy it.”

“Love Pilates Forever! The studio is small and intimate, they have the latest and best equipment, and the classes are personal and tailored to each person's abilities. It's worth every penny.”

“Alina is a master in Pilates. Her teachings are mind/body focused all while strengthening the core. I highly suggest her for experienced and beginners interested in Pilates.”

“This studio is beautiful! Alina did an amazing job with the new studio. The classes are one of a kind — they transform your body and soul. It's the best Pilates studio in Pleasanton.”

“Alina is the best Pilates instructor in the area. I thought Pilates was just stretching, but it's improving your core strength, flexibility, balance, and posture.”

“For the reformer exercise, I love the fact that Alina is always trying to correct our form and pay attention to all individuals.”

“It's a very nice and cozy studio. Alina is very professional, patient, and kind.”

“Favorite local Pilates studio. A warm, welcoming place that kicks your butt. The best instructors around.”

“I've been a member for 2 years, and what drew me in initially was the small class sizes and the instructors' incredible attention to detail — they always ensure proper form and offer modifications.”

“Outstanding Pilates experience. I've been attending for 2 years with the goal of improving flexibility and core strength. Alina's expertise and encouragement keep me coming back.”

“One of my favorite things is the small group size. It creates this almost private-session feeling. You're seen, you're heard, and you get real attention — which is so rare and so valuable.”

“Alina is like the true woman-health champion and will talk to you more about your health than your gynae. You feel like a friend right when you walk in.”

“From the very first visit, you feel like you're not just coming to a workout, but into a space where you're genuinely cared for. The instructors carefully watch your form, make small adjustments, and guide you in such a kind, respectful way that you feel encouraged, not pressured.”

“I felt that Alina was really able to get to know me and support me in learning the different moves and exercises. I feel much more flexible, and I lost 20 lbs in about 6 months of consistently attending.”

“I took the 8am class with Grecia this morning and it was lovely. Parking was easy, check-in was easy, and class was great. The class size was very small, so we got a ton of hands-on attention and Grecia really made sure we were focused on the correct muscles for each exercise.”
