From the reviews

Ive been a 4 year student at Kathy Lopez Studio B and its necessary. At 58 I do concerts all over Earth. Travel. Thus stretching and core is so essential. The other instructors there are fantastic as fill ins.

★★★★★ — Chuck, Sep 2018

Such an awesome neighborhood studio, so warm and welcoming! I recently moved to Ventura and feel a real sense of community here...Very lucky to have found Kathy and this special studio. Kathy’s knowledge is next level, she is intuitive and technical in a easily accessible way.

★★★★★ — Chrissy, Jul 2019

I have been taking Pilates classes from Kathy Lopez for over 14 years. Kathy is by far the best instructor in Ventura County and beyond. You will become stronger in both body and spirit by working out with Kathy. She is inspirational and beautiful.

★★★★★ — Alice, Sep 2018

Studio Be Pilates is absolutely amazing. Kathy (owner and instructor) is so incredibly knowledgeable and caring, as are all of the other instructors such as Jeffy, Kirby and Roger. I feel so well looked after and always have the BEST experience in each class.

Your first barre class at Studio Be Pilates, Barre & Melt

New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Barre is low-impact, so it suits most bodies and fitness levels — but if you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
