Pilates San Diego | Mind-Body Movement in Bankers Hill
Looking for “Pilates near me” that actually feels personal, powerful, and a little bit fun? You’ve found it.
At Radical Change Pilates & Wellness, we’re an urban sanctuary in the heart of Bankers Hill, San Diego. A space to reconnect with your body, breath, and mind through movement that’s transformative, not transactional.

We’re Not Your Average Pilates Studio in San Diego
Our studio is fully equipped with STOTT Pilates apparatus, and our approach is uniquely our own. We blend classical Pilates with somatic practices and contemporary, functional movement, offering classes that are as inclusive and empowering as they are effective.
Some people say we’re like a cult, but we prefer to call ourselves a radically welcoming pilates studio where people come for results and stay for the community.
Pilates That Feels Like Home (and Works Like Magic)
The only way to know if our vibe is your vibe? Book a private session or come take a few classes. Our experienced instructors are here to guide you, challenge you, and support you in a space where consistency meets connection.
And if you’re not ready to give yourself the gift of 50 minutes on the mat... ask yourself: what are you doing?

First, welcome to our studio and we hope that you love the way we pilates!
Doing a 1:1 session is always the best way to experience our studio for the first time. Our rates start at $140 per 50-minute session with our instructors and $265 for the Introductory 1:1 90-minute session with our studio director. This is the time to share what you need from pilates and allows your instructor to introduce you to the beautiful world of somatic pilates and how it works for any body. Literally, any type of body.
If your budget doesn’t allow for private sessions, no worries! We’ve created Radical Reformer 101 just for you. Offered Mondays at 4pm and two Fridays a month at 5pm (check the schedule). For first time students, Sexy Yummy Spine™️, Restorative Pilates, Evening Deep Stretch or any Sunday class with Natasha is an excellent alternative.
Any questions? Call Andrea at 619.522.0026 and she’s happy to answer your specific questions and get you on the schedule.

Our group classes are 50-minutes long. Wear something that you’re comfortable in.
Leggings, sweatpants, shorts, pants that flow but aren’t flowy. Long pants should gather at the ankle so that the loose fabric doesn’t get caught in the springs.
Tops should be supportive and layers are a smart option, as some classes are definitely going to warm you up and we don’t want you to pass out.
Be sure to eat something simple at least 45 minutes before class time and bring a water bottle; we don’t have cups however, we do have a filtered water station.

Pilates has a reputation for being expensive and only for skinny white folks. This isn’t that kind of place. Radical Change Pilates & Wellness is owned by a 50+ year old black woman and a 65+ year old white man and we believe in equity and the power of movement in wellness. We don’t care what you weigh, your gender, your race, who you sleep with or love. And if you voted for hatred, keep it to yourself.
We smoke the front doors with sage and palo santo, wear crystals, and have rocks and crystals scattered throughout the studio.
We hold new moon rituals and believe in the abundance of the universe.
We believe in sharing our knowledge and experience to help others become healthy and well.
If you need your pilates with a dash of elitism and high school drama, look elsewhere. If you desire a place to help you be strong for life in every season of your life, we’re happy to serve you!
