Client Testimonials

  • I can’t recommend this Pilates studio enough! The instructors are truly innovative—they bring fresh, creative energy to every class and know exactly how to challenge you while still keeping things accessible. What really sets this studio apart is how attentive the staff is. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, they meet you where you are and make sure you feel supported and seen. The equipment is top-notch and well-maintained, and the overall environment is clean, calm, and welcoming. You can tell they care deeply about both quality and community. I always leave feeling stronger, more aligned, and inspired to come back. If you’re looking for a studio that combines expertise, care, and a touch of inspiration, this is it.

  • My wife and I were fortunate enough to experience 8 classes at Black Cat during a vacation in Nosara. This studio is special! The owner is not only a fantastic and knowledgeable coach, she was also warm and welcoming to us from the very first class. In fact, every trainer made us feel like we belonged and cared about us. The classes were challenging and technically excellent! The studio itself is filled with natural light and sparkling clean. And at the end of each class they handed us a cool cloth with essential oils- perfect for cooling off before heading out into the Costa Rican heat- such a nice touch. I wholeheartedly recommend this if you are an experienced Pilates person, or even brand new to Pilates and want to experience something new and get a great full body workout!

Each class challenges you in the best way, combining strength, control, and grace. I’ve felt my body getting stronger and more aligned with every session.

  • I love BCS and sharing it with my clients as well. The instructors bring a nice mix of style to each class but all with the same commitment and dedication to ensuring each class is challenging and effective. The reformers are new and being able to workout in AC in the jungle is a huge bonus!

  • Me encantan las clases de pilates de Black Cat Nosara, son super dinámicas, de fácil acceso ya que están ubicados en la calle principal de Nosara, con buen parqueo y además puedo ir con mi hijo ya que cuentan con un parque de niños muy conveniente perfecto para las madres que quieren un break mientras su hijo se divierte. Las camas de pilates son super nuevas y la verdad me divierto montones mientras hago pilates. Super recomendado.
