It’s not easy. It will challenge you but choosing your hard is far better than facing the hardships that happen if you don’t take care of yourself NOW! Pilates and GYROTONIC® practice functional movements that strengthen you and help you increase your mobility so you can move better in your daily life.

We’re kinda chic at Urban Body San Jose ✨
Not to brag, but we have some of the sharpest and most dedicated instructors in the space! Our team comes from diverse backgrounds and with unique skills but one thing that all have in common is tha they are dedicated to learning and evolving. They are always the first ones to jump to work with a visiting instructor or join a workshop, and you can often find them training during an Independent Workout because deepening their skills deepens yours.

We only offered private sessions until recently. Our community was asking for more opportunities to practice, but we waited until we knew how to offer classes with the same quality attention and commitment we provide in private sessions.
Now, we are providing the same high-quality instruction but in a small group setting and it’s only $70 for equipment classes and $35 for non-equipment classes! Classes are offered on a drop-in basis so you can join when it fits your schedule.
We love the reformer. It’s an amazing apparatus and can be a fantastic first interaction with Pilates. But Pilates is much more than the Reformer. Pilates is a system of exercises developed by Joseph Pilates to be “structured, progressive and deeply connected.” So if you’ve only done exercises on the Reformer, you’re only experiencing one part of the system! Classical Pilates is structured in an intentional way. Every exercise prepares the body for the next and each apparatus deepens your understanding of an exercise and the body’s ability to perform it. If you have not experienced Pilates outside of a Reformer, you can experience a deeper level to this modality with a private session at Urban Body San Jose.
If we had it our way, everyone would be practicing GYROTONIC® because the benefits are deep! We have seen it transform people from all walks of life, from seniors to professional dancers to postpartum moms to athletes to people suffering from chronic pain. If you’re curious about what it can do for you and how it can change your life, sign up for a session! We have a new client special which is 3 sessions for $420, or you can join the GYROTONIC® Pulley Tower Basics class on Friday mornings.

Try a Reformer class that meets you where you are at! We are now offering a Classical Pilates Reformer Basics class every Friday and it is the perfect opportunity to try a class in an intimate and welcoming environment. We limit our classes to only four students so you can still receive personal attention from the instructor. It’s a perfect introduction to Classical Pilates if you’ve never taken a class before! Classes are available on a drop-in basis, as long as you are registered at least 1 hour before class starts.

We are hosting another round of our Joe’s Gym Pilates Part 1 Workshop, and it’s being taught by Urban Body San Jose co-owner and one of the course creators, Maria Yu! This is a Pilates intensive that incorporates the most fundamental exercises in the Pilates System, forming the “heart and soul” of a traditional Pilates practice. Students will strengthen their understanding of the Pilates exercises and learn the order of the exercises, spring settings, and safety measures required for safe independent practice. Upon completion of the Part 1 course, students are eligible for Independent Workouts at our studio! This round will take place October 17-18, 12-5pm. Both dates are required. You can sign up at the Workshops and Courses link in our bio
Classical Pilates is built on a system and often you’ll repeat the same exercises. And if you think that gets boring, we are here to change your mind! Because repetition enables you to go deeper with each exercise. Your body begins to understand better and your awareness of how your body moves and flows during the exercise increases too. Think of it like learning a language, the language of how your body moves!
