I am so happy I discovered Nice Pilates almost 2 years ago! From day one I felt welcomed, well taken care of and had a very individual approach! Highly recommend!

I followed NICE founder Cassandra from another studio in SF to NICE, and I’ve never looked back! I finally found a workout I truly enjoy. I am continuously challenged at NICE, and I love the community of other pilates enthusiasts. The small class sizes ensure I am perpetually improving by receiving immediate feedback on my practice. As a woman who grew up in the aughts, I especially appreciate the lack of mirrors in both NICE studios. The instructors correct me, and I am not confronted with my own existence. Before I started pilates, I was constantly injuring myself due to weak muscles and balance. Six years later, I rarely have those injuries, and when I do, my recovery time is much faster. My friends are sick of hearing about it, so please go and see for yourself!

This is a wonderful studio to learn and practice Classical Pilates! Cassandra has built a studio with amazing instructors, great vibes, and really excellent instructors. The equipment is always clean and working, and it’s very no nonsense. You get a workout and you get the Classical Pilates knowledge from people who care.

NICE Pilates is THE BEST! I have scoliosis that causes me chronic back pain. I started going to NICE Pilates almost six months ago and my back had never felt better and I have never felt stronger! When you are in a NICE Pilates class you can feel confident that your instructor is looking out for you and cares for you. Even the group classes feel like private sessions because they provide you individual adjustments. I cannot recommend them enough!!

I've done Pilates regularly for more than 8 years, have had MANY instructors during that time -- and there is simply no one better than Cassandra. The depth and breadth of her Pilates knowledge keeps surprising me! And now in her own new studio, with a range of Pilates equipment, it's all been unleashed. Great workouts, a teacher who cares, small classes (you can't hide), muscles you didn't know you had, easy parking, and a sweet community of regulars. Cassandra has created a great space, we're all lucky she's here.
