Kalijo Pilates Studio

Fantastic experience: 5 stars all around for Kalijo Pilates. The instructors are knowledgable and have a keen interest in your well-being with their excellent cuing, both verbal and physical. The clientele are equally great, open and welcoming to any new comers (me ;-). Definitely recommended!

Fantastic experience: I started Pilates at Kalijo 9 years ago, when I was 77, after a hip replacement. After my husband saw big improvements in a year’s time, he also joined the studio and is not looking back. Having been in the hands of many trainers in the studio, I continue to be amazed at their dedication to our individual wellbeing. Thanks to a regular schedule at the studio, I am able to deal with a large garden, and go about my daily activities, with my brain occasionally rectifying posture, gestures and breathing. What a gift ! And what an insurance against deterioration and aging…. Bravo, Katherine, Jennifer, Cara, Sebastian, Kath, Louise…… THANK YOU for your care. Gigi

Fantastic experience: My experience at Kalijo Pilates has been excellent! All of the instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging and professional. Combined with a beautiful location, the studio has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: Expressing great gratitude for the ongoing support and guidance from the Kalijo Team. Through their care and ever-present awareness of what works, I have gained new ground in well-being in my 7th decade on the planet.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing Pilates with Sebb for over six months. His understanding of the human body is exceptional and he is kind and straight forward. He pushes me but not too hard. I have had the other teachers when he is away and they all bring skill and knowledge to their jobs. As a person who lives in a bigger body I have never felt unwelcome or treated differently. It is truly a safe space and welcoming to all. Going there is a highlight of my week.

Fantastic experience: Kalijo is more than just a pilates studio, it is a safe, warm, vibrant, and heart-centred space where you "come home" to your body and spirit. I learn something different from each teacher in each class and walk away more grounded, regulated, and connected. Thank-you Kalijo! Your studio is medicine!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been practicing Pilates at Kalijo Pilates for eight months now, and the experience has truly transformed my health and well-being. After being diagnosed with a hormonal imbalance, I started Pilates to regain control of my body—and the results have been incredible. Not only has my body grown stronger, but my health markers, including my blood tests, have also significantly improved. The team at Kalijo Pilates is exceptional. Jen introduced me to this wonderful method of contrology, and it’s changed my life. Cara’s passion and encouragement constantly push me to challenge myself, helping me grow stronger and believe in my own physical power. Sabe’s structured approach and deep knowledge of Pilates have been key in my progress. I’m especially grateful to Katherine for her warm welcome and making me feel like part of the family from the very beginning. Her kindness and open heart have made the studio feel like a second home. I’m excited to continue my Pilates journey with Kalijo and can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking to improve their health, strength, and overall well-being!

Fantastic experience: All the love for the Kalijo team. I moved to the city a few years ago and have been to other Pilates studios and Kalijo is still the best one out there, hands down. Other instructors have commented positively on my form and connection and that is 100% thanks to the instruction I received at Kalijo. You guys rock. 10/10 recommend for anyone and everyone.

Fantastic experience: My first consultation with Jennifer exceeded any expectation I had for what this experience could be. The studio is clean and calming. The energy in that space is uplifting and supportive. I felt compassion and generosity. I just bought and booked a package of eight sessions. I'm looking forward to working with this incredible group of humans.

Fantastic experience: The trainer I've worked with named Cara is such a pleasure to work with. She's a wealth of pilates knowledge and can really see when you're not quite doing the exercises correctly and is quick to offer suggestions that drastically improve the feel of the workout. The location's atmosphere is serene, with huge windows on the second floor, staring out into Davis bay. I saw orcas the other day and it's fun to spot the tug boats, ferry, cruise ships and little boats go by. The facility has nice wooden floors and a great bathroom. Highly recommend attending this pilates place.

Fantastic experience: Very helpful. Feeling great.

Negative experience: I attended with Cara, who is lovely, I paid for 4 private sessions plus an Introductory session. Cara was kind and patient. I had no idea I had a more serious health issues. I was told if I needed to cancel my appointment for Monday to call on Saturday. At 8:27 Monday morning , 1 business minute after Saturday. I got called in for an urgent appointment. With a specialist in North Vancouver.Katherine was ruthless. No way would she credit me and allow me to rebook. I just feel so hurt. I have never left a negative review in my life but beware at $100 a session with knowing I planned to follow through with more bookings. This was a bad business move.

Fantastic experience: I find Pilates is excellent for toning and posture and overall health and vitality. The instructors at Kalijo provide detailed instruction and genuinely care about their students. The group classes are a great workout and the privates are awesome for working on specific needs. I was impressed by how quickly the studio transitioned to online Zoom classes at the start of the pandemic. Katherine is so very talented and inspiring and all her instructors are great. For a real treat, try a ball rolling class!

Fantastic experience: Clean facility, fabulous people, results oriented. Impressed from before I entered. Local community oriented and on-point. Katherine and Seb made me feel amazing and like a part of their family from the moment we met. Highly recommend to anyone seeking to improve their body and mind. Hands down, out right awesome.... had me smiling and feeling great!

Fantastic experience: Kalijo Pilates will Return you to life! After being told I needed a hip replacement at 16, I decided to try pilates at Kalijo and I have never looked back! I completed my Pilates teacher training program at Kalijo in 2016 ~Kalijo is the place to be in Canada to get trained in the world renowned Pilates Center teacher training program. I highly suggest you try one of the many classes, classically trained instructors, or better yet, learn to become a Pilates Instructor yourself through the teacher training program! I love Kalijo, and will be a lifer! <3

Fantastic experience: Love this place!

Fantastic experience: Hot Yoga! Need I say more.
