“Maggie is a personal trainer and a pilates instructor rolled into one. Her workouts are very personalized and goal oriented. If you need strength training for any reason, look no further. She’s an expert in her craft and a welcome addition to San Pedro- There is no one here like her.“
“I have been successfully looking for a prenatal class that is still challenging, many are too easy. I love it here & so happy I found it to enjoy throughout the last 1/2 of my pregnancy!“
“Great Pilates workout and the instructor knows exactly how to make the workout right for me.“
“Studio MDR East is an amazing Pilates studio! The instructors are fantastic--they really push you to your limits in the best way possible. Each class is challenging, but they're also incredibly motivating, so you feel encouraged to give it your all. The studio itself is always super clean and well-maintained, which makes working out there even better. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, you'll definitely leave feeling stronger after each session!“
“Peninsula Pilates is the best!! A newly remodeled studio and amazing instructor. Love Lacey - such a great addition to the hill. Highly recommend!!!“
“Nicolle is my physical therapist and has provided caring and focused therapy. She has shown me things I can do at home to help my therapy move along, and it has helped. I am truly grateful.“
“Jaime is fantastic! She's incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to the body and movement and, of course, all things pilates. I started sessions with her after my OB recommended pilates to help my diastasis recti heal postpartum. And it has! Jaime tailors each session to me and my goals. She pushes me, and I appreciate it! She's such a fun person to spend an hour with working out. I always look forward to my weekly sessions.10/10 recommend!“
“Roxanne is the best instructor!!! A friend of mine introduced me to her studio which is very clean and aesthetic. I contacted her and she kindly gave me discounts for the first private session. I’ve tried 2 different instructors before her, but I can’t emphasize enough that she is the best! She is soft and gentle outside but really intense when it comes to training. She can point out where your weaknesses are and construct curriculum around it. I really appreciate her for pushing me and giving me precise instructions. I have convinced my husband to try her and now we do duo sessions with her! I hope everyone gets to try her session!“
“Pilates Platinum in Venice, CA is clean, modern, and well-equipped with everything you need for a challenging Pilates session. The instructors are top-notch, but if you're looking for a standout, Stefanie Hasbany is the one to go to. After taking Stef's class, you'll definitely feel it for days - in the best way possible! Her attention to form and technique ensures that you get the most out of every movement, leaving you feeling stronger, more aligned, and energized.“
“I've been going here for a few years now. (Special shout out to Rocio who was my first teacher and former owner!!). The new owner updated the space recently. Pretty and airy. I LOVE Wendy's classes and religiously go just to see her. She's tough but also fun. She also hosts sounds baths a few times a month there! But all the teachers are great. Class size is small so you get the proper attention you deserve!“
“I've been coming here for a few months now and I love it so much. This studio has dramatically changed my body composition, what I see in the mirror, and how I see my body in my minds eye. When I first started my form was heinous, and I could only do about half the class - if that. Now I go 4 times a week and I look forward to it every single time. I can do almost all of the class, and my balance and body awareness has improved so significantly. I thought I would never be able to balance on the machines due to a vision disorder, but Kaci helped me identify where I could improve my posture/build muscle to correct my balance... and it worked like magic. I love this place. Everyone was so kind and helpful to me when I first started. It felt intimidating at first, but I just kept going, and now I just feel like another pilates girlie going to class. I love rockit pilates“
“I’ve met many doctors, PT’s and trainers through my career - none of them is anywhere close to Chad and his team! Highly recommend for anyone in the South Bay!
And if you’re not in the South Bay, you should probably still make the drive!
5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“I have been working with Ashley for the last few months,I have taken Pilates in the past but felt I really needed to work on specific needs and goals for my bodyAshley has been GREAT she designed a work out program that works for me and in the short time I’ve seen her I see results; Strength weight loss flexibility and definition I definitely recommend her!“
“I've been having sessions with George for a little under a year now. George keeps things varied, explains clearly and is constantly engaged. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a structured, safe and achievable program. Great results!“
“My biggest regret moving from Venice was giving up working out with Bevin at Studio U. This studio is incredible, the perfect size, clean, welcoming, and it's owner, Bevin, is competent, badass, kind and overall just good people. She made an existing passion of mine, boxing, even more fun and challenging in the right way. I did both group classes and 1-1 sessions and it never disappointed. Even group classes that can sometimes be bleak at other spots were fun and engaging, partially because Bevin builds a community. I never tried the Pilates section, but I only hear great things about it. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for a stellar local workout spot with wonderful people to brighten up your existence.“
“Dr. Kristina Elminoufi is the best! I've gone to her for multiple issues and always feel like she really takes the time to listen to my needs. She is very knowledgeable about chinese and western medicine and thoroughly explains the treatment plans and expectations, which I truly appreciate. I highly recommend Dr. Elminoufi!“
“MDR is still my go to studio after all these years! I have my go to instructors, but any class is good here. They have fun challenges where you can win prizes upon completion. Parking: I never have an issue since I go in the AM and use the retail parking lot (tandem parking) but the same people tend to go to my class so it works out. There's also street parking further down, and metered parking right outside.“
“Excellent instructor. I had a Gyrotonic private with Julie today, and she gently but firmly created a noticeable increase in the range of motion of my body.“
“Emily at Form Pilates is the best. Knows her stuff, my back is greatly improved. I've learned a lot about what to do and not to do when I am at the gym.“
