ABOUT GOTHAM PILATES

An amalgam of form & function

Gotham Pilates was founded in August 2005 by native New Yorker, Laura Sepulveda. Together with her team of experienced and certified instructors, they honor the work of Joseph Pilates through individual and group sessions. A range of styles- including Pilates, dance, fitness, and yoga- are customized to achieve a balanced “amalgam of form and function.” Its fully equipped boutique studio in downtown La Jolla, just steps to the beach, offers clients an inspiring and non-competitive environment to improve strength, flexibility, and vitality- for today and the future.

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH! Gotham keeps me fine tuned with Pilates sessions that improve my tone and strength, alleviate stress and empower me to manage the demands of a busy family and work life. The studio is not too big and not too small. It’s personal not pretentious, and the energy is empowering. Gotham trainers put the personal in training. You walk through the door and it’s all about you, your fitness and overall mind-body wellness. My trainer Diana puts in the time and effort to prepare for my workouts between sessions based on my body’s needs. Thanks Gotham for helping me to live my life to the fullest through Pilates – and have fun while I do it!

Gotham Pilates La Jolla is the best training studio in San Diego. During the private sessions we work at a pace set for me to push my limits so I am able to improve but not get injured in the process. After a session I feel more flexible, stronger and find myself in a claim mental state. I recommend this studio to anyone in the La Jolla area.

Laura, the owner, is amazing. She knows more about fitness concepts and Pilates than anyone in SoCal. Plus she is an interesting New Yorker.
