BASI Pilates - Newport Beach, California

Can't say enough good stuff about this place! I kept hearing about the benefits of Pilates, specifically on the reformer so I had to check it out from where everyone said was the best... Basi Pilates. I'm so glad I made the drive out to the OC and equally glad that I did a private with Stella. The entire team was supportive and excited to see me trying it for the first time. I will definitely be back!!

I feel incredibly fortunate to have visited BASI, the global headquarters for Pilates. I randomly booked a session with one of their instructors through their website, and to my surprise, I found their teaching skills to be consistently professional and outstanding. Among the various styles I've tried, BASI has become my favorite system!

The atmosphere at this school is exceptional. Even with the founder still actively teaching and providing guidance to on-site instructors, the sense of community and support is truly heartwarming. Mr. Real and Stella are exceptionally welcoming, and my instructor, Tram, embodies patience, professionalism, and love in her teaching approach. We adore her, and I wholeheartedly recommend BASI to everyone I know!

Today was my first Mat Pilates Class . . . and it was awesome, challenging, yet totally ‘doable’!!! It was a very welcoming environment - Stella, the Instructor taking time to chat with me prior to class when I first came into the building. I was a little early for my Mat Class, so got to observe instructors working with individuals on pieces of equipment.
Stella and Jody, my new friend who invited me - who happens to train Basi Instructors gave me modifications that made it possible to keep up, yet be safe as a newbie. I felt competent and had fun. I left with an experiential understanding of how important alignment and gentle movements with full breathing is quite-the-workout, as well as good for overall well-being and flexibility. Each woman who’d been taking the class for some period of time had shapely muscles and remarkable strength. There was laughter intertwined with a seriously great workout!!! The first lesson is Complimentary ~ FREE ~ No Charge!! Try It!!! You’ve got nothing to lose and a great program to gain! SOOOoooo glad I attended!!

Rael as we know, is the Master.. The servant Master.. he holds nothing back and effortlessly shares his decades of wisdom with all. Any teacher at Basi headquarters actually is amazing.. yet we know who’s boss

BASI Pilates Academy is the real deal. If you're looking for high quality instruction and expert trainers in the pilates field, this is the place to go. Not your cookie cutter cattle call, class only studio. The instructors are highly educated and provide world class service. I love learning and practicing pilates here.

BASI Pilates is an amazing experience for anyone trying Pilates for the first time or anyone looking to hone their craft and become a Pilates instructor. For me, I am a newcomer to the Pilates industry. Bianca and Rachel were very good to me and helped me learn some new techniques that enabled me to enjoy the workout a lot. Them, along with Stella, Jill and of course Rael, the founder, makes BASI Pilates the best studio in Orange County, bar none.
