grit + tonic Pilates - Monterey (CA)

5 /5 Athena McPartland: I am so excited to have this studio on the peninsula!! The small class sizes make it so the instructors are able to closely monitor your form and even tailor the class to your individual needs. I definitely would recommend this class to anyone with or without pilates experience who is looking for a good/fun/challenging workout!

5 /5 Bliss Beasley: My first time at this studio was an experience to remember. Melody was full of sunshine and so down to earth. She is so conscious of each individuals needs and any personal ailments that need to be modified. She was so knowledgeable and the flow of the class was just so smooth while also being so beneficial. After my first class I felt like I was longer, stronger, and I honestly felt like I mentally went to the spa. If you’re looking for your forever reformer spot, I would 100% recommend this for anyone, especially if it’s your first time trying it out!

5 /5 Annette Oswald: First time at Grit & Tonic and I loved them! Took Melody’s class, she’s an intuitive, warm, and professional instructor. Her class was multi-leveled, responsive to each student’s needs, providing individual modifications and adjustments as needed. If you’re looking in taking Pilates, Grit & Tonic is your studio. I highly recommend this lovely studio centrally located in downtown Monterey.

5 /5 Heather Serrano: What an amazing Pilates studio! Not only is everything very new, clean and fresh but it is also such a convenient location, right in downtown Monterey. Parking was easy and I love that it’s walking distance to get a coffee or something to eat after class. The owner Arianne, has decades of experience and is so welcoming. New to the Pilates Reformer, I was a little nervous. But Arianne assisted me throughout the class and made me feel so comfortable. It was actually really user friendly and easy to learn. It was a great workout and honestly felt like a private session even with the class at full capacity. The studio is an intimate space and doesn’t have a “gym” vibe. It feels like a space you’d want in your own home. The membership pricing is actually a bargain for the value you’re getting. It’s not easy to find such intimate classes with instructors that are as experienced as these. If you haven’t tried it out yet, you definitely should!

5 /5 Megan Zoller: This is exactly what Monterey needed! Grit + Tonic is the perfect reformer studio. The studio is clean, the vibes are great, and the classes are challenging! Arianne is an amazing instructor, and her abs & assets class kicked my butt! Thank you, Grit + Tonic team!
