We almost didn’t offer small group classes. Not because of interest but because we had to be sure we could offer them in a way that fit our standards. We believe in highly personalized practices but we also wanted to provide more opportunities to work with us!
Reformer Work 💞 Pilates requires balance, strength, focus and coordination with your breath. Everything works together to help the body move in an integrated way! It engages muscles and awareness you might not have even realized you had! We tailor every session to you at Urban Body San Jose so your body gets exactly what it needs.
A workout tailored just to you 💞
Here’s a sneak peek of a GYROTONIC® session at UB with one of our teachers, Naomi. Naomi is working with her client on rehabilitation from a back surgery so she tailors every session to address that need—and whatever else her client needs and wants.
This is where the magic happens in the work here! It’s more than just another workout. It’s giving your body exactly what it needs to feel its best!

Group classes but make them personal!
We offer several Pilates and GYROTONIC® group classes every week but they are not your typical crowded one-size-fits-all classes! Even in a group setting, we provide our standard personalized assistance!
We offer classes to anyone who has completed 3-5 private sessions at our studio. There are several classes offered throughout the week, including on Saturday and Sunday! Check the “Book” page on our website to see all upcoming classes!
Here’s what you’ll find at Urban Body San Jose:
- An instructor who’s dedicated to your growth and experience. We know workouts are not one size fits all and we work with you to tailor your sessions to your unique needs.
- Highly trained and deeply experienced teachers. Everyone at Urban Body San Jose is top quality trained and we stay up to date by training with the very best leaders in our industry, in both Classical Pilates and The Gyrotonic Expansion System.
- A space designed intentionally to be present, rejuvenate and inspire you. Every detail from the plants to the layout is meant to create a movement sanctuary.
- A welcoming community. People from all walks of life come through our doors and no matter what brings you here, you’ll be welcomed with open arms!
If this is the kind of movement practice you’re looking for, we are offering a new client special! Get 3 private sessions for $360

We stand by this belief: bodies deserve more than one-size-fits-all workouts!
Reformer classes can be amazing but your body might need more support or a different apparatus could completely change an exercise for you. We teach to the body in front of us—always have & always will!

Pilates and strength training go together beautifully! Strength training loads the bones while Pilates focuses on smaller stabilizing muscles like deep core and hip stabilizers that often get neglected. Classical Pilates can add so much value to your form while weight training.
Stronger stabilizers mean better joint support, which helps your bigger muscles lift heavier. Additionally, Pilates emphasizes body awareness, which translates directly into strength training, like cleaner squat form, more stable shoulders for bench presses and less compensating in general.
The two go hand in hand so you can have more powerful lifts.
“If you are on the fence, I’d say you don’t have to be ready, come as you are. The instructors will meet you where you are.” -Julie, UBSJ client
This is your practice, it’s your space to move your body! Our instructors will guide you to what you need. Thank you, Julie for sharing your experience practicing at UBSJ!
