STOTT Pilates reformer sessions and mat classes anchor the schedule at Firm Body Pilates, a personal training studio at 1735 Garnet Ave in Pacific Beach, 92109. Owner and master fitness trainer Gina Rey studied Kinesiology at San Diego State University, where she also served as coxswain of the SDSU Men's Crew Team and helped lead the squad to its first and only trip to nationals. Rey's client work has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show and the television program How to Look Good Naked, and her training resume includes pre- and post-natal fitness, professional fighters, and at least one Super Bowl champion. Clients often stop by Café Tropics on Garnet for a smoothie or coffee before their morning reformer session. She holds the distinction of being the only personal trainer in San Diego to combine STOTT Pilates certification with more than a decade of professional training experience, world-class Muay Thai kickboxing instruction, and pre- and post-natal fitness specialization. The STOTT method incorporates modern exercise science and spinal rehabilitation principles, emphasizing restoration of natural spinal curves and rebalancing muscles around the joints rather than flattening the back. Members looking to relieve tension after a deep Pilates workout can book a session at Sawadee Thai Massage, a nearby Pacific Beach bodywork studio. Class sizes at Firm Body Pilates are among the smallest in San Diego, allowing Rey and her instructors to provide hands-on corrections and individualized attention during every session. A free introductory mat class is available to new clients who want to experience the studio's approach before committing to a package. Firm Body Pilates accepts appointments by phone at 858-225-9046 and shares its facility at 1735 Garnet with Republic Gym.
