Paulina was an incredible instructor! This was my first Pilates class and my first time using the reformer, and she made the experience feel welcoming, supportive, and totally doable. She explained everything clearly, offered helpful guidance throughout the class, and made sure I felt comfortable the entire time. I never felt rushed or intimidated—just encouraged. Highly recommend, especially if you’re new to Pilates!
Class with Paulina is always challenging and fun! She has a wide variety of different workouts, every session has been different. I also love the studio in general, always clean and decorated based on the holiday. I absolutely love Paulina and the Aurum studio.
I absolutely love Gaby and this studio! She has helped me so much to gain my strength and confidence back after some surgeries. I am even able to do additional exercise classes now because my low back pain and core strength has gotten better.
Great class! Definitely appreciated that she takes the time to show you exactly how it’s done and helps you. Atmosphere was also fun
Such a great class. Engaging and patient coaching with genuine care on good form. Would return!
Super padre clase, ella super atenta y muy linda. Explica todo super bien
Class was welcoming, clear and easy to follow! Moves were challenging and had a great, slow muscular burn to them. I appreciate how much Gabriela helped me to fine tune the movements to engage the target muscles, and how the movements flowed together to be more whole-body as each sequence built up!
Very helpful!!!
Gabriela was AMAZING! From the moment class started, I was mesmerized by her clear, calm instructions and the way she spoke with such confidence and warmth. What really stood out was her incredible ability to remember everyone’s names, including mine, which made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. Keep in mind this was my very first class and my first time meeting her, yet she created an atmosphere where I felt completely comfortable and supported. The workout itself was challenging enough to push me, with exercises that engaged muscles I didn’t even know I had, but it wasn’t overwhelming - it left me wanting more. I’m already looking forward to my next class with her at Aurum Pilates. Thank you, Gabriela, for making me feel so welcomed and comfortable right from the start!
I am 77 years old and was quite hesitant about taking on the strenuous nature of Pilates exercise. I don’t think I could’ve done it without Gabby. She is very attentive to the joint injuries and issues that I have. But she also challenges me to go farther and do more. She also is very good at making corrections to anything that I’m doing incorrectly. I don’t mind that. I want to do the exercise correctly. I’m very grateful for her attentiveness to each person in the class, not just me.
The class was perfect! Sude muchísimo y siento que trabajé todo en los ejercicios, Paulina te da muchos ánimos para seguir adelante aún cuando ya no puedes ✨
My first class. I was a little nervous , wondering if I could do this at my age. Now I know I can. I felt welcome and comfortable.
I had my first Pilates class with Gabriela yesterday and I absolutely loved it. She explains each exercise clearly and takes the time to guide and support everyone throughout the class. She corrects form in a very attentive and encouraging way without interrupting the flow of the session. You can really tell she enjoys what she does, and that makes the class feel welcoming and motivating. Highly recommend her classes!
Loved the class and the coach always making sure we were doing the exercise correctly! 💕 10/10
Paulina was very informative and I appreciated her making quick adjustments to better my form. I felt like this allowed me to really get most out of the class in regards to the exercises we were doing. Although this was my first level 2/3 class, Paulina made it very motivating and an encouraging environment to learn!
Great class with Paulina ☺️💜!
I always enjoy Paulina’s classes at Aurum Pilates since they are challenging and fun. Each session pushes me with a variety of exercises that target different muscle groups, keeping the workout interesting and engaging. Paulina is very kind and helpful - she pays close attention to everyone’s form, offering gentle corrections and modifications when needed to make sure we’re getting the most out of each move. She creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to focus and stay motivated. Paulina is truly a wonderful teacher who balances encouragement with just the right level of challenge, so I always leave feeling accomplished and energized.
It was my first pilate class and I loved it, Paulina was a great coach. Will definitely come back again
This was my second time doing Pilates and my first time at this studio—and let me tell you, this Level 1 class was no joke! It definitely kicked my butt, and I was shaking a bit. Loved the session and will definitely be coming back.
Amazing instructor! She took the time to explain each Pilates move clearly and made sure my form was correct throughout the session. Very nice and approachable, which made me feel very comfortable even as a beginner.
Great class! We had a lot of fun. We definitely felt the burn.
I felt super calm & welcome from the second I walked in. The environment was very peaceful. I really enjoyed the music & challenge during class. I definitely will come back & recommend the studio.
First time in a Pilates class since moving to ELP. I appreciate Paulina asking my language preference. I really liked the class guided in Spanish!!! Over all, wonderful Pilates coach and I will definitely be back!
Paula was great! I enjoyed her class 100% My leg were shaking afterwards lol. She guided me through the whole class making me feel comfortable and confident.
Ms. Paulina was kind and gentle. Definitely a great first impression and class. Thank you.
She's very nice and patiently shows you how to do the exercises, she laughs with the class and makes you feel welcome.
I love taking my classes with Paulina alwaysss!
Paulina was FANTASTIC! For being my first class, I felt so included, welcomed, and Paulina helped me at all times! It was such a fun and rewarding experience! I will definitely come back!
Paulina is a solid instructor. Her experience teaching comes through and she runs her classes very comfortably. Her classes are challenging and she pushes her students. It is important for some students to take a break and not be called out. That is difficult for a teacher to gauge but should be considered.
Ame la clase!!! Súper linda, Pau y una rutina muy completa y retadora ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Amazing!!
The instructor was attentive and clear throughout the entire class. She carefully watched each of us, making sure our form was right and offering gentle corrections when needed. Her explanations were easy to follow, breaking down each movement so I could focus on doing it properly without feeling rushed. The workouts themselves were engaging and fun, with a perfect mix of challenging exercises that kept me focused and lighter moments that made the time fly by. I especially appreciated how the pace kept my energy up without feeling overwhelming. After the session at Aurum Pilates, I felt stronger and more balanced, which made me really look forward to my next class.
I’ve taken several classes with Paulina and always enjoy them. She’s consistent, supportive, and gives excellent instruction and corrections in a respectful way. Her classes are tough but leave you feeling strong and confident.
She did great today. And I love that is a sport that requires a lot of strength and endurance.
Welcoming and very knowledgeable instructor! Super nice and provided a great workout with corrections when needed
Gabriela’s class is outstanding, challenging yet accessible so everyone leaves feeling stronger and proud of their effort. Her cues are clear, her modifications are thoughtful, and her energy makes even the hardest core work feel fun and motivating.
Great coach with great explanation and walk throughs. Super welcoming and not intimidating at all. Great class!
Paulina holds a steady class, pushing just enough for everyone’s level. I always feel like I had a great workout but not super tired or stiff, just right
Excellent class with good modifications for Reformer beginner. Could have used more resistance on some exercises but still an awesome workout.
Class was great! The coach was super friendly and took the time to explain each exercise clearly, making sure I felt comfortable. She was very accommodating, noticing when I needed a lighter modification and encouraging me to push a little more when I could. I felt supported throughout the session, which made the workout both challenging and enjoyable. I would 10/10 recommend Aurum Pilates to anyone looking for a welcoming and effective workout.
She was very kind, and for my first time she was great at helping me with the position
Gabi is so good! She challenges you while being patient. She is an excellent instructor with tough, intentional movements.
Paulina is amazing! Every time I leave her class at Aurum Pilates, I feel like I’m leaving a little bit better than when I arrived. The way she guides each movement makes the workout feel both challenging and achievable. I always feel safe and comfortable during the session. If there’s a movement I can’t do, she’s very understanding and carefully scales the exercise to match my ability, never making me feel left behind. Her attention to how my body feels in the moment helps me progress without pressure. I always leave Aurum Pilates feeling happy, energized, and confident that I’m improving.
Supportive, helped coach so everyone was doing it corrected, explained well before each move
I am so happy with my first experience with Pilates. Paulina was excellent! She provided guidance and gave me great feedback. She is a wonderful instructor and I am excited to try another class.
Absolutely loved Paulina’s Pilates class! She explained everything so clearly and made the class feel both challenging and fun. I left feeling amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to strengthen their core and improve their posture! *It would awesome to have an “All levels class at 6am”
Always a pleasure taking class with Pau🤩🩷
Gaby is my absolute favorite instructor. Her classes are challenging but leave you feeling amazing afterward. I love how, after explaining or demonstrating a difficult move, she says “okay” in her nice, happy voice. 😅
Loved it! Thank you so much!
Paulina is so creative with her exercises and so sweet!
Paulina is an amazing coach! She explains and shows you by example all the movements, very helpful and positive. She takes the time to get to know every individual name of the people in her class, and motivates and pushes you. She made me fall in love with Pilates class.
Gaby always encourages and challenges you in her classes in a way that makes you want to push just a little harder. I love the variety of exercises she picks. I always leave feeling better and stronger. The classes at Aurum Pilates have a great balance of intensity and mindfulness.
Renata did a great job explaining the exercises step by step for a beginner! Very patient and friendly, loves my first experience
Very fun experience for my first time definitely can see myself coming back
I felt very welcome from the moment I walked into Aurum Pilates, which made a big difference in how comfortable I was during the session. The instructor was amazing - she guided me through each exercise with clear instructions and kept a close eye on my form, gently correcting when needed. She noticed when I struggled with certain moves and adjusted them so I could still get the full benefit without feeling overwhelmed. That personal attention helped me stay motivated and confident throughout the workout. By the end, I felt stronger and more centered, and it was clear she truly cared about my progress. This kind of experience makes Aurum Pilates stand out as a place where you’re not just another member, but someone they really want to help succeed.
Gabriela was amazing! She is a wonderful instructor and I enjoy her classes. I always get a great workout. She explains the exercises well and ensures that we are safe and have proper form.
Las clases de Gaby son lo máximo! Sus instrucciones muy precisas y siempre ejercicios muy variados. Me encanta, siempre salgo llena de energía

Everything was perfect, loved the workout!
Always a great class with the best instructor!
Gabby is an amazing coach, keeps every participant in the room engaged and tailors for everyone’s needs while keeping us motivated to try out best with each exercise and challenging our bodies safely.
Super welcoming and great help especially since it was my first time!
Super friendly and helpful! They noticed when my form started to slip during the Pilates moves and gently adjusted my posture, which made a big difference in how effective the workout felt. I left feeling energized and motivated, not drained like I expected. The supportive vibe here really stands out compared to other gyms I’ve tried. Can’t wait to book another session!!
Paulina was amazing! From the moment I arrived, she made me feel comfortable and guided me through each Pilates move with clear, encouraging instructions. She noticed when my form needed adjustment and gently helped me align better, which made the exercises more effective and less challenging than I expected. It was such a good first experience with Pilates at Aurum Pilates because the session was both relaxing and energizing, leaving me feeling stronger and more balanced. The studio itself has a calm, welcoming atmosphere that made it easy to focus and enjoy the workout. I will be coming back! 🥰
Renata encouraged awareness of posture, alignment, and body control during class. She also reminded us to integrates breath with movement. Great coach
I’ve been taking Pilates with Gaby and she’s been great! She is patient and attentive especially when it comes to my back issues. She always offers thoughtful modifications that keep me safe while still challenging me to get stronger. Every class feels balanced, encouraging, and tailored to my needs. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable instructor!
I really enjoyed my first class and I will definitely be doing Pilates, the coach was great and helpful, I had a good experience

So welcoming and nice. Made my first time trying pilates so fun!!
My first Pilates class and Paulina was very welcoming and helpful. She made sure I was all good throughout the entire class.
Paulina was extremely helpful and made us feel comfortable during our very first reformer class! She was encouraging and made the class such a fun experience!
Paulina was very helpful with her instructions! She was able to quickly assist me when necessary so I could maximize my time in class!
Paulina explained everything super well and was very attentive to my form and technique.
Paulina does an amazing job guiding you through each movement while also pushing you to challenge yourself. I really appreciated how she took the time to correct posture and explain the exercises clearly—it made the class both effective and enjoyable. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for a motivating and knowledgeable instructor!
took my first class with paulina! she was very welcoming and helpful!
I was super nervous to attend a pilates class for the first time as a plus size girly, I've lost about 50 pounds and moved here from another state where I had been regularly exercising with friends. I thought that a group class would be super helpful to get me back into it, and thought Pilates seemed like it would be a lot of fun. As I said, I was really nervous to attend alone but I did go to Renata's 6 AM class and I have to say I was super relieved by how kind and patient she was. The receptionist asked about it being my first time and showed me around, and then Renata explained the reformer and even told me about what I would need to do in future classes to set up for my height. It's a small thing, but a super inclusive thing to offer to set me up for success for a next time visit. The class size was small, which honestly made me feel more comfortable. I had also been nervous about the base knowledge for the level 1 class, but it truly was an intro class & it felt very low pressure to understand everything and Renata did a lovely job of correcting placement & explaining. It was accommodating. She talked to me after the class and asked, and I definitely felt very welcomed for another class! I wanted to share a more detailed review, as I was really hesitant like i said as a plus size girly pop and was looking for more information about this, but could not find it so hopefully sharing this for anybody else who would like to start pilates as part of their fitness journey. It was hard, but felt really good after!
challenging and fun!
Very good service and results!
Paulina was great and easy to follow! I’ll be signing up with her again :)
Paulina is a great instructor! She does a good job at guiding people through exercises and makes sure that everyone has correct posture throughout the workout. She’s excellent at motivating the room and meets people where they’re at in their fitness journey.

Oh my gosh! Today was my first reformer class in El Paso, and I can’t wait to return. The studio is gorgeous, and Paulina was such a great instructor, all her cues were direct and easy to follow along. The class was challenging but equally fun and manageable. I can’t wait to come back xx
