WundaBar Pilates

I can’t believe I’m just now leaving a comment, I love wonder bar! Good class times, awesome instructors, fun music and quality reformers. I have been exercising my entire life (gymnastics since age 3) and have tried it all, running, hiking, CrossFit, barre, swimming, gym membership, yoga and spin (both of which I still love) but nothing has ever help me achieved the body style I was dreaming of. All over tightening with Long lean muscles! Yay! Thanks Wundabar!

This is an awesome workout. The instruction provided as you go is most helpful. The time flies by! I’m sweating 20 min. into the workout. I love it!

What a WUNDAful experience I had today! Took my first class here today with Bri (the owner) and it was fantastic!
PROs:
–45min only
–works muscles you didn’t know you had
–plenty of parking
–Starbucks nearby
–friendly owner
–free trial class!
CONs:
–crowded…there is no separate waiting area for the next class. Owner needs to put a sign out and have people wait outside until the class is over before others can come in. It’s very distracting when people hover over you while you’re finishing your workout.
–expensive $ 30 a class
–not enough cardio… I didn’t have one drop of sweat
Overall I had a fun workout and can see myself adding some of these classes into my rotation after I lose some more weight cause doing this alone it won’t happen!

Wundaful! WundaMaze! WundaWorkout! WundaWaaaEverythingHurts! Best Pilates workout EVER!
WundaBar San Diego is one of the best workouts ever! What I love about WundaBar is every workout is totally unique, impactful and flys by in the blink of an eye. The teeny tiny movements pack a major, unbelievable punch!
My instructor and owner of the studio Bri was so incredibly amazing! She is passionate about Pilates and her students. She wants her students to excel, to push past negativity and embrace all the goodness that Pilates can provide!
I told her prior to the class that I’m recovering from a back injury and she made sure to help me with making the correct adjustments & using props to make sure I wasn’t irritating my injury.
The studio is absolutely beautiful, the music uplifting, and the reformers are the THE top of the line! If your looking for a long, lean body WundaBar will help you achieve that and more!

I love WundaBar!!! I’ve been going here for a little over a month and feel myself getting stronger with each class. It’s the perfect complement to my morning workouts and wish I could get myself there more than once a week. The studio is bright and clean. Bri is awesome and makes every class different, which is a great way to avoid monotony. The workouts work every muscle in your body. I’m thinking of doing the 2weeks2Wunda in the new year. Definitely check this place out — first class is free so what do you have to lose!!!

Highly recommend Bri’s class at WundaBar! Studio is bright and cheery, and Wunda reformers are the best pilates machines I’ve used. Super challenging workout, but it goes by so fast because of great instruction. Love coming here!

Bri pushes you to work hard yet provides an encouraging and safe atmosphere. Every time she gives a cue I find it helps me to make the workout more effective and focused. After Bri’s class I always feel like I got an amazing full body butt-​kicking, but also manage to feel like I kicked some major butt too. The studio is clean and the staff is friendly and inviting. If you want to transform your body, if you want to add more exercise in your life, if you want to add more strength and mobility to your body, or even if you just want to find a good work out this studio and the staff can and will give it to you! Everyone needs some Wunda in their lives!

My wife had been telling me for months how amazing Wundabar Pilates and the owner Bri Blonigan are. What an incredible workout she was getting there. I’d never tried pilates, even though I’m a doctor who has been recommending it for years because of the well-​document health benefits. Well I finally gave it a try last week, and Oh My God! Amazing! For any guys out there who think Pilates is just a chick thing, think again. The session gave me a whole-​body workout. I’ve done a lot of different exercises in the past, and this is right up there at the top. I bet you can’t do this without breaking into a serious sweat and getting your heart rate up there. Do yourself and your health a favor and try Wundabar Pilates.

First pilates class ever taken and I fell in love! Bri is the best instructor and forces you to focus on breathing and positive energy while doing challenging activity. The machinery is super impressive and the studio is small and bright which is perfect because it makes the work out more personal and effective. Definitely give this place a try!

Amazing class led by an amazing woman! The exercises were challenging but Bri is a great motivator full of positive energy. The studio is bright, clean and open. All good vibes and a great workout! Definitely check them out, first class is free!

Best Pilates place the instructors are friendly, with great knowledge and always helping by teaching the proper position.
Is an awesome workout

This Pilates is different/​better than others I’ve tried. They provide excellent instruction and form reminders. It’s a good, hard workout

Bri is the best! I always love going into her studio — it is clean, bright, and she is full of good, positive energy! Her classes are well-​balanced for all levels. She has a passion for what she does and it definitely comes through in her teaching. I highly recommend checking out Wundabar San diego!

About a month ago I had the great pleasure of receiving an invitation to attend a complimentary class at WundaBar, and I am so glad that I had the free time to go and experience what this studio is about. By virtue of my involvement with dance I had been expose to mat pilates, and consistently attended class for about six months in 2006. While I very much enjoyed mat classes, I never had any interest in converting to the big scary contraptions used in hard core pilates studios. Taking the «Cadillac» for a ride was simply not on my list of things to do. I wish I had been more adventurous back then.
WundaBar is simply a fantastic, well rounded exercise modality well suited for any fitness enthusiast or the average person trying to lead a healthy lifestyle. The class is delivered in a high energy format that is sure to challenge even the most adept athletes. However, the instructors are knowledgeable enough to where proper form is maintained even when you are going all out and getting the tough work out we all want. Donna, my instructor, has a wealth of body knowledge and she is amazingly efficient at transferring that know-​how to the class participants without missing a step. Her cues on form are dead on and she definitely keeps your motivation at its max with her great energy. The studio owner Bri is another ball of energy and she definitely makes you feel right at home when you attend class.
This is a wonderful studio with superior equipment and instruction. The smiles alone are worth the price of admission and I highly recommend you take a trip out to this beautiful gym to not just take class, but to have a fitness experience.

Ever since I discovered SPX Pilates thru ClassPass, I’ve gotten addicted! In No. County SD, the 3 main SPX studios I’ve found are CoreBody Pilates (Carmel Mt. Ranch, LOVE IT), Core40 (Carmel Valley, pretty good), and my latest WundaFul discovery, WundaBar (LOVE IT).
Located in the Torrey Hills Shopping Center next to Subway/​Edible Arrangements (this shopping center is across the street from where The Rush Indoor Cycling Studio is located, which is good for ClassPass peeps).
My first time there I messed up the class times so missed the tutorial. My bad. But I was still able to get thru class, got a killer workout and sweat buckets! For those who are used to SPX Pilates, this one is very different. Bri seems to really incorporate balancing throughout out the workout moreso than other studios, and do upper/​lower body while balancing at the same. That was my biggest challenge on my first visit, as I felt off balance (it got better the next day… keep reading). What is also unique about WB is that they incorporate jumping (you’re laying down– see photo). Now you wouldn’t think much of jumping off the board while laying down, but holy crap you’re working your abs and legs like crazy. My inner thighs are still burning as I type my review!
The next day, I did Bri’s class again and now knowing what to expect, plus utilizing the BALANCE BAR (if you have trouble balancing or are a bit newer to SPX, use this, trust me) and it made the world of difference in my workout. I was stable the entire time and able to fully concentrate without worrying about losing my balance. You do NOT lose anything by utilizing the balance bar… you have plenty of opportunity to get in upper body workout w/​the other routines she does. My legs were BURNING & SHAKING (in the world of SPX, this is a good thing!).
Bri had GREAT music, good energy and was very encouraging. I loved how she provided a safe & very effective workout by offering modifications (she also has a back rest thingie for us w/​lower back issues) and doing a proper cool down stretch. She was great at walking up and down checking everyone, correcting us (I love hands on corrections) and modifying the tension thingies when needed. I am (a good) sore after doing 2 days in a row.
The only thing that’s a little counterintuitive are the class times, they’re 20 after the hour, which for those of us who were hoping to maximize our ClassPass by piggybacking classes, can’t do The Rush then WundaBar. Some Rush classes are 4:30 — 5:15, but WundaBar starts at 5:20. I would LOVE it if they had a 5:30 so I could do both as I don’t like to work out too late.
Would also love a Tu/​Th noontime class.
Bri is extremely likeable, and I spoke with her about how I wish ClassPass would let us do 4/​mo instead of 3/​mo limit (it’s way easier to schedule classes, build camaraderie and get into a habit that way) so she said she’d talk to CP as she liked the idea too. I think it’d be a win-​win-​win situation if CP did that. Members would be happy (especially us who came from FitMob, where they had no monthly limits), owners are happy (more community exposure, making more money) and CP would probably get/​retain members.
FYI: There are 10 reformer machines. There’s no child care. Bring water & towel.
TIP: First class is free (sign up on their website) so I used that, plus still had my 3/​mo left from ClassPass. lol I have to maximize my membership! #ClassPassAddict.

WundaBar is WUNDAFUL! This workout has noticeably been improving my core strength and stability. I think this is THE ONLY Pilates studio that has had a major effect on my abs. I think this is do to the unique full-​body workouts we endure. they are efficient and challenging. Bri, the owner & an instructor at WB, is very attentive to her students making sure they are preforming all exercises accurately.
If you’re looking for a Pilates class that yields results… this is it!

Just tried my first class and will definitely be signing up for a class package! I am totally new to this type of pilates equipment and the teacher, Bri, made me feel safe and comfortable trying something new. She was super knowledgeable and made the experience worth 5 stars. The studio is also very clean, with a good sound system, fans, and AC! This is the perfect place to tone your body for summer, get ready for an amazing core workout!

I’d give 1000 stars if I could. This up beat fun hard working class is the best for someone like myself that has been out of shape for years and is trying to get back in shape. Bri is an amazing hard working woman herself and while the struggle sets in during this workout, for me her voice is settling and steering my butt in the right direction toward healthily living, if you haven’t WundaBar yet… YOU need to! Bri is a real gem too.

I can’t shout loudly enough for how Wundaful Wundabar is! Bri is an incredible motivator and really knows her stuff, and the workouts are like nothing I’ve experienced. This is more than Pilates, and it’s tightening and lifting places that have been, er, not so tight and lifted. Run, don’t walk, to this studio.

Love Wundabar! The owner is a great instructor and a nice person! She takes the time to know every student and gives you modifications and helpful cues. I always leave sweating (which to me is rare for a pilates class) and feeling like I had a good workout. The addition of the jump reformer is a nice added cardio element as well. I also like how every class is different!
It’s a good location for Del Mar/​Carmel Valley moms and has good time slots if you drop off your kids in the Del Mar District in the morning!
Highly recommend this studio!
