I have been attending this studio under the tutelage of Grace for the past 2 plus years. Grace is the best Pilates instructor. She is attentive and attuned and has an incredible knowledge of anatomy and physiology which she uses to provide bespoke prompts to help target specific muscles and ensure correct alignment. I highly recommend Grace and this studio!

My first experience with reformer Pilates is with this studio and I can’t say enough good things. Teachers are top notch, equipment is clean and excellently maintained, space is beautiful. Classes are always small enough for individual attention. Highly recommend!

Hands down the best Pilates reformer studio in the world! I’ve lived in multiple big cities and travel often, and this is by far my favorite studio (and one of the reasons I haven’t left SF.) - The space itself is stunning; super clean, bright with high, spacious ceilings - it never feels too crammed. - The teachers are exceptional. Classes fly by, and while it doesn’t feel like I’m straining or working too hard during class, their precise cues and focus on alignment somehow activate muscles I didn’t even know existed and I’m sore (in the best way) for days after. - What truly makes this place special is the owner, Artemis Anderson. The physical and energetic space and community she’s created here is unlike anywhere else. Her mastery of the body, deep integrity, and otherworldly loving presence is infused in everything here. This studio/classes has been a source of light and carried me through some dark times. This is the one place I keep a monthly membership without hesitation or guilt (even if I don’t make every class) because supporting this space feels like giving back to something that’s given me and others so much. 💕💕💕

I have been doing weekly sessions with Grace Rose who is an excellent instructor. Extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, friendly, and supportive. I have zero body IQ and Grace explains the exercises very clearly. I am recovering from a back injury and am making enormous progress with Grace’s help. Thanks Grace!

I couldn’t be happier with my decision to join Bright Star Pilates. For nearly two years I’ve trained one-on-one with top-notch instructors whose expertise has been invaluable. They’re highly experienced, professional, and committed to helping me reach my goals. I also take one or two group classes each week, which are fun, engaging, and a perfect complement to my personal sessions. Bright Star pairs expert instruction with a warm, welcoming vibe that makes me look forward to every visit.
