WHAT IS PILATES CULT?

Welcome to Pilates Cult, downtown's premier destination for elevated, boundary-pushing movement. Here, every class is thoughtfully crafted, fiercely challenging, and infused with creativity.


This isn't your average Pilates studio. This is where you sweat smart, move with purpose, and discover a new kind of strong. Every session is an experience — bold, intentional, and unlike anything else in Santa Barbara.


"Not all rituals involve candles and chanting. Some involve straps and sweat."

THE FOUNDERS

MEET NATALIE & ALISSA

Natalie Harper and Alissa DiSalvo are the brains, brawn, and unapologetic sass behind Pilates Cult. With years of teaching side by side, they've honed a fearless, creative approach to Pilates that turns every class into something you've never experienced before.


Their mission? To bring a fresh, boundary-pushing style of movement to Santa Barbara — one that delivers something special every single time you show up. Expect precision, fire, and a whole lot of personality.


Santa Barbara — get ready to sweat smart, move with purpose, and feel that kind of strong.

OUR CLASSES

CULT REFORMED: REFORMER

Not your average reformer class. Every pull, push, and pulse is a step towards your higher self- sculpted, aligned, and just the right amount of obsessed. With THREE levels of classes to match your devotion, there is a ritual for everybody, from the newly initiated to the fully converted.



CULT CARDIO:

SWEAT & SCULPT


High-energy devotion meets sculpted strength. This ritual fuses jumpboard cardio with weight sculpting- challenging your limits, igniting your fire, and leaving your body worship-worthy. Sweat, jump, lift... and rise stronger every time.


CULT CADILLAC:

REACH & RISE


Reach new heights - literally and figuratively. With the Cadillac as your stage, stretch farther, lift stronger, and move like the believer you are. We are proud to be the ONLY studio in Santa Barbara offering Cadillac classes, giving you a truly elevated experience you wont find anywhere else.

CULT FIT: WEIGHTS & STRENGTH


Step into the ritual of strength. This circuit style format blends Pilates precision with weights, igniting muscles, challenging limits, and sculpting your body into a testament of power. Sweat, lift, and rise stronger—only for those devoted to the practice.




CULT TOWER: LENGTHEN & TONE


Step into the sacred space of the Tower, where precision, power, and grace converge. This small-group class fuses Reformer Pilates with the dynamic Tower apparatus to lengthen, strengthen, and tone your entire body. Every spring, strap, and pulley is a tool for transformation—challenging your limits, awakening your core, and sculpting your muscles with intention.



CULT INITIATION: FUNDAMENTALS


A four-week ritual, meeting twice a week, designed for true beginners ready to join the Cult. Learn the sacred moves, master the lingo, and perfect your Pilates form in a supportive and fun setting. By the end of the four weeks, you’ll move with confidence, flow into any class like a devoted believer, and leave feeling stronger, longer, and fully initiated.

TESTIMONIALS

THE CULT SPEAKS

I am thrilled that Natalie & Alissa are FINALLY opening their own studio. I have been taking their classes for years now and I can say that they are top notch instructors! I feel more in shape now at 52 yrs old than I did when I was in my 20's and 30's.

Leah

I have been taking classes & privates from Natalie for years. She rehabbed my shoulder after surgery and I fell in love with Pilates. I take classes with her 3x a week now and I am so strong! She really pushes me in the best way possible and I'm capable of doing things that I never thought that I would be able to do.
