Sol The Studio

Website: sol-thestudio.com
Address: 1638 Babcock St, Costa Mesa

Vibes: Pilates princess energy, chic and trendy. These mat classes- Expect Bala ankles weights, and a steady burn.There sweat classes are hot, but class is still below 90 degrees, which I prefer. Playlists are fire, class options are plentiful, and note – if you don't bring a mat there is a rental fee.

Tip: After class, reward yourself with an iced coffee from Daydream Surf Shop or Eller's Bakery just around the corner.

Best For: Mat class, pilates + coffee date with a friend, cute IG stories

The Full Routine

Reformer Studio: 2820 Newport Blvd, Suite A, Newport Beach

Vibes: This spot is a two-for-one deal — same name, but two different studios: one for heated mat classes, and one for reformer Pilates (just a block apart).

TFT Reformer:

The routine here switches up weekly but stays consistent throughout the week. So if you’re new to reformer, start on a Monday, then come back during the week to build confidence and get your form dialed in.

Tip: The studio is close enough to the beach for a post-class ocean dip. Yes, please.

Best For: Beginners to reformer, fine tuning form

TFR Mat Hot 60:

Think modern-day Zumba meets sauna. It’s a high-energy, dance-inspired sweat fest in a heated room. Expect loud music, choreographed sequences, and a full-body detox. Mats are provided.

Tip: Bring a friend, it’s way more fun to fumble through the dance moves together.
