Avanti Pilates - San Diego, California

I came to Avanti Pilates almost a year ago. I was an active person prior, but I pinched a nerve and have been out of commission. I had to rebuild my strength. Daniella has been amazing at helping me get back to my abilities. She's patient, encouraging and hyper aware of my body position while I do the exercises. I'm completely comfortable that I'm in good hands and won't hurt myself as I learn Pilates. And I've been able to gain my muscle back. All the while, she's compassionate, friendly, and encouraging. She's the best!

I love to take classes from Daniella whenever I'm in San Diego, and they're the highlight of my trip! She is a caring, talented, and knowledgeable instructor, plus you can't beat the rooftop view during the Saturday morning class. Avanti Pilates is always the perfect start to a Southern California weekend!

Daniella (owner of Avanti Pilates) is amazing at what she does. I've been a client of hers for over 8 years. I have enjoyed how she incorporates yoga into her pilates practice along with the other equipment like the core align. Even through Covid, I've been able to continue training with her virtually. Daniella creates different workouts and exercises that best fits each client. She is the best and I love working out with her. She has become a friend and would love to have you try a session with her. You will not be disappointed.

This is one of the best private studios and instructors in town! Daniella is just incredible at what she does. One can tell she has studied Pilates, the human body, and movement extensively. She caters each session to your specific needs and requests. You will always walk out of the session feeling stronger and with improved posture. I highly recommend taking sessions with her.

I had never done Pilates before working with Daniella and Avanti Pilates, but after my introductory session I was hooked! Daniella has worked with me for overall improved fitness, flexibility as well as targeting specific areas after an existing injury. The focus of our sessions changed during my pregnancy, as well as post-partum to rebuild my strength. Daniella is very knowledgeable and can easily adjust the exercises and movements as needed. Couldn't recommend her and Avanti Pilates more!!

When I started at Avanti Pilates I had never done this type of exercise before and I was also struggling to get my body and core strength back postpartum. Daniella is by far the best fitness instructor I have ever experienced. She is extremely knowledgeable, educational and pleasant. We have met my fitness goals in Pilates and I still continue to go back after going for an entire year. I highly recommend this place and plan to continue to be a repeat customer!

Daniella is trained in a variety of mind/body exercise methods in addition to Pilates including Yoga, Barre, Core Align and more! I fell in love with Pilates, but I shortly came to realize I loved Pilates with HER! I've taken Pilates from others, and it wasn't the same experience. Daniella listens to what you would like to achieve through the workout and fine tunes your session to meet your fitness needs. She is very thorough in explanation for each exercise and ensures your form is correct to avoid injury while also making it a priority you're maximizing your results/getting the most benefits. Each session is always different, which keeps things interesting and fun, and you will come to see the changes in your body are undeniable. Thank you Danielle for always helping me reach my goals! You're my favorite!

I have been taking private Pilates sessions 4 to 5 days a week for the last few months with Daniella. She is an incredible teacher and extremely knowledgeable about Pilates, yoga and barre. I have a lower spine disc herniation and my sessions with Daniella have done so much for my pain. She has helped me to strengthen and lengthen the muscles in my core and the rest of my body which helps me hold myself in a way that doesn't worsen my injury. She is always very careful to check in about my back pain and not do any exercise that will injure it further while maintaining a challenging workout. In the past I have been to classes who either push me to workout in a way that was dangerous to my injury because of the lack of one on one communication or trainers who were so scared of me getting more injured that I wasn't seeing any results from my workout. Not so with Daniella. I also find that she consistently teaches new exercises that we have never done before which is crazy since I see her so often.

On top of that, Daniella is very fun to talk to which is important since I spend so much time with her. She has great taste in music and doesn't blast it loudly like most gyms and trainers do. The room and equipment are impeccably clean and everything looks new. I find her prices very reasonable for the services she provides. I am very grateful to her for all that she has done for my physical well being. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has back issues or wants to feel stronger and more connected to their body.
