Pure Power PILATES + Fitness is a women-owned boutique studio at 7434 Jackson Drive, Suite B, in San Carlos, San Diego 92119, combining STOTT PILATES reformer training with weight-based fitness classes, yoga, massage therapy, fascial stretch therapy, and infrared recovery sessions. Founded in 2012 by Lori Taranto—a STOTT PILATES Certified Trainer and NASM Certified Personal Trainer—the studio grew from a Del Cerro garage into its current Jackson Drive space through referrals, and rehabilitation clients transitioning from clinical physical therapy cycle through the reformer program via providers including PhysioFixx Physical Therapy in San Carlos. The equipment floor runs six V2 Max Deluxe Reformers with jumpboards and towers, six Stability Chairs, Toning Balls, Foam Rollers, Fitness Circles, and Flex Bands, all from the STOTT PILATES equipment line. Group classes cap at six to ten participants per instructor, and the schedule rotates through reformer Pilates, TRX suspension training, mat work, and hybrid fitness circuits that alternate resistance sets with cardio intervals. The Lake Murray and Cowles Mountain corridor funnels post-hike and weekend-warrior traffic into the San Carlos commercial strip, and Pure Power's recovery services—therapeutic massage, performance stretch therapy, structural integration bodywork, and infrared sauna sessions—serve that active-lifestyle clientele directly. The best gym in San Diego for Pilates-focused cross-training is a studio that also carries strength programming, and Taranto's NASM certification means the fitness classes here follow evidence-based periodization rather than generic circuit templates. Active-duty military members receive a rate adjustment on memberships. Acupuncture and integrative recovery extend the studio's rehabilitation pipeline through Flourish Acupuncture & Wellness in San Carlos. The Jackson Drive lot provides free surface parking directly outside the suite.
