Tracy has been wonderful to work with, specifically related to both nutritional coaching and Pilates sessions. Tracy is honest, but kind in how she speaks directly about ways that I have been unknowingly harming my body and even small changes I can make to improve my health, body strength, and overall well being. While she has amazing knowledge, she remains personable and genuinely interested in my individual needs and challenges. When I meet with her, I appreciate having her full attention and the way she personalizes my treatment plan. I highly recommend Tracy - I wish everyone would take the opportunity to meet with her and experience health at a completely new level in the same way I have. read more

Tracy is a thoughtful Pilates instructor, I highly recommend her studio. She is not only knowledgeable in human physiology and its mechanics, but she is an amazing teacher! She helps you visualize how to maximize proper form on the reformer and Cadillac. My normal aches and pains have diminished since taking her Pilates classes. read more

Review update. I can't speak highly enough of Tracy as an instructor. I really encourage anyone that would like to try Pilates but may be hesitant because they are a beginner to get started with Tracy. She will bring you up to speed, you don't have to be afraid to try. She will teach you. She really is amazing! read more

I came to CoeDynamics this past Friday, thanks Beach Cities Free Fitness Weekends!!! Tracy is an amazing teacher. She was really funny and used a lot of great analogies to help you get in tune with your body. 1 hour flies by! The studio was really clean-- must take off shoes before entering. LOVED the small class size-- 5 students max. Easy parking-- Huge parking lot / structure. read more

Wow, where do I begin? I met Tracy about 8 years ago when I answered a job post for a Pilates studio manager. At that time, my life seemed just fine and I fit in comfortably at her studio where she taught Pilates and tons of wellness practices. I know that she actively pursued and then shared a wealth of information that my summing it up as "wellness practices" is really a disservice. But as I said, my life was "fine" at that time. Time passed and eventually I moved on professionally, with fond memories of having worked there. Fast forward 6 years or so and the weight of middle age, being a stay-at-home mom, homeschooler and special needs mom with a strained marriage, all came crashing down on me! It felt like one day I woke up and was beat up, drained, tired and felt like overall crap. I'd previously had an active life of powerlifting and playing tennis. At this point I couldn't do anything without needing 10 days of rest in between. I was hurt and dragging physically, emotionally and psychologically. A dear friend suggested that at minimum I was low on B vitamins. She suggested I go to a pharmacy and grab a bottle of B vitamins. I remembered enough from my time with Tracy to know that all supplements are not created equal. So instead of shooting in the dark, I reached out to my old friend. It's super important to note here that on my journey to wellness I've learned that healing comes in layers. During that dark season of my life, I dug hard into my spiritual life and inquired of Jesus daily. It's by His grace and mercy that I found Tracy years ago and it's Him who brought her back to my memory. By the time I landed at her doorstep about 6 or so months ago, I'd already walked crucial steps into the spiritual part of my healing. That journey is not done but Tracy met me for the remaining physical aspects. She took me through a number of tests and reviewed my recent blood work. Functionally, I was struggling. So she recommended a major diet change and some supportive supplements from a reputable source. I trusted her and followed her advice. She is raw and honest and wants what I want - HEALTH in ALL ways. That's why it was important for me to include the spiritual and emotional aspects of healing. Tracy will not suggest a supplement for you if she discerns the root of part of your healing is emotional. She is honest and not making a money grab. This means you can trust her. Healing is layered like an onion. If you're fortunate enough to find Tracy, stay the course. Take her suggestions and walk forward in health. A week into taking the supplements, I felt like a new woman. When I made the diet adjustment, my sleep regulated and I can now work out like I used to! Probably better, to be honest. God knew what He was doing when He introduced me to Tracy all those years ago. And whatever brought you to her or to this review is intentional as well. I'm so grateful for Tracy's wisdom, and I wish you twice the healing I've received!!! read more

I have suffered through severe back and hip pain limiting my mobility and activities for over a year. Pain medications, injections and nerve ablation-nothing worked significantly. Tracy@CoeDynamics was instrumental in the relief I am now experiencing. She guided me through Pilates exercises, cold laser sessions and supplements to aid in body function. By implementing her nutritional suggestions and cutting out most junk food I have achieved significant weight loss, reduced pain and improved health overall. I used to be unable to even walk around the block, & now I am able to walk 3 miles a day! I have also suffered with vertigo for 38 years and the supplements she prescribed have relieved the issue! I'm so grateful to have been able to partner with Tracy on my health journey! read more

Tracy is amazing! We have been doing Scalar Laser therapy on my face for Bell's palsy. She has been able to lift my eye brow and lift the corner of my mouth to smile evenly that had resulted in being crooked since 1999. I tried everything else..you name it. I tried it. This has been holding like she said it would. Anyone suffering from Bell's palsy needs to see Tracy! After 21 years I found someone who could help me! read more

CoeDynamics aka Embody pilates is closing their doors mid Sept '19. Sad as I've really enjoyed my private classes for the past three years. The owner Susie, is a gem but she and her family moved to Nor Cal. read more

I love how Tracy has jumped into the void of the temporary suspension of local Pilates studios due to COIVID-19, by offering on-line sessions we can access from home. These sessions are perfect for those of us who don't want to lose the health benefits of our Pilates practice. A big "thank you" to you, Tracy! read more

I'm so grateful I was able to meet with Tracy for a Functional Health & Nutrition Consultation. She was able to create a custom program with nutritional suggestions, superfoods, and supplements specifically designed to support my body's individual needs. Her advice was simple to follow, and I was surprised how quickly my body responded. Within a few weeks I noticed a huge improvement in my digestion, my hormones started to balance out, and overall I just felt really great! She is generous with her support, and a wealth of information when it comes to good health & healing the body. Definitely try to book an appointment with Tracy if you're wishing to improve your health & well being - she's amazing! read more

How is it possible no one has written a review here yet? Body and Mind Coe-dynamics is a local gem that I am weary to share for fear of future over-crowding. Quiet (except for the squeals of laughter from fellow students) and comfortable, this studio is tucked away off Sepulveda Blvd in a small office development. Parking, consequently, is excellent and with just enough elevation to see the ocean from the entanglement of cords and handles on your reformer equipment, you'll enjoy every minute of your class time. Class sizes are very small and the instructors are both entertaining and extremely knowledgeable. I am eternally grateful to Groupon for introducing me to this new form of exercise and to Body and Mind Coe-dynamics for showing me how wonderful an experience it can be. read more

I've been to lots of gyms and studios in my life, and CoeDynamics provided a great first visit for me. I came across their TRX/Pilates class and figured I would give it a try. I booked my class online and they sent me a waiver to complete ahead of time - I LOVE studios that send that ahead of time so that I'm not rushing before my class begins. They even made sure to send directions since Google Maps and most car navigation systems will not take you to the correct place. Upon my early arrival, there was a small class going on in the small studio. I just hung out outside since it was a tiny little studio. When the class started, the instructor Susie was super energetic and ready to get us sore! I loved that there were only two of us in her class because it allowed her to get really personal with us and help us focus on the right things. Susie really helped me focus on my form and was constantly encouraging me to keep going, even when I wanted to stop. Overall, the studio's staff was extremely personable and knowledgeable. The people in the class were also very friendly which can be rare in Manhattan Beach. I would highly recommend checking CoeDynamics out - you will not be disappointed (and extremely sore the next day!) read more

CoeDynamics provides a Focused and calm Pilates technique. I have been going for years now and am hooked.

I am a Pilates newbie who experimented with a few differing studios before finding this fantastic gem! I took advantage of their Groupon for 10 reformer classes. I also purchased a series of three private sessions and took the private sessions before taking the classes (which I highly recommend doing). My instructor Brittany (who I had my three private sessions with and have had for all of my classes) is incredible! She is warm, upbeat, knowledgable, patient, and individualizes her instruction. I have continued on with my reformer classes post-Groupon, because: the studio's classes are reasonably priced, the reformer class scheduling options work for me, I like the small class sizes, I found a fantastic instructor in Brittany, and the studio's customer service is exemplary! read more

Have taken the Facial Release class to get some back relief & was amazed to learn my pain is also tied to ITband tightness! Have learned so much about my body & its needs. Tracy really knows her stuff. So thankful to get into this. read more

Tracy Coe has been my pilates instructor for a few years, and she is such a gifted teacher. She is able to spot the smallest adjustments needed in each individual to maximize results. As a nutritional coach, she has helped me tremendously with hydration. I was chronically thirsty, and she has educated me and given me the tools to feel so much better, and completely hydrated. This has had such a great impact on my energy level, and most importantly - I don't feel dehydrated any more! read more

When I was a kid, I suffered an injury that left me with two compressed disks in my lower spine, resulting in a lifetime of back pain and hundreds of hours spent in chiropractic and physical therapy offices. This past year I worked with Pilates teacher and nutrition consultant Tracy Coe of CoeDynamics, who showed me how to relieve the pain by engaging my core, strengthening the surrounding spinal muscles, and using proper posture in my everyday activities. Tracy worked extensively with me to teach me proper form and unlearn years of improper techniques - such as such as gripping my glutes and hip flexors when doing a crunch - that were counter-productive to the healing of my lower back (and actually inadvertently making the pain worse). Since Tracy taught me to keep my spine neutral during crunches, my abdominal muscles have gotten much stronger and my back pain has lessened considerably. Tracy and her team are excellent and I recommend CoeDynamics as a wonderful resource for anyone wanting to achieve overall strength, flexibility, and fitness - the right way. read more

This studio gets 5 stars! As a dancer and Pilates/yoga enthusiast, I've been to most Pilates studios in the South Bay. This is one of the best studios around! My first class was their Pilates Reformers Class with Tracy Coe. The first thing I noticed was the space- small, clean, lots of natural light, a tower reformer, and several reformer carriages. Upon meeting Tracy she asked me if I had any surgeries, injuries or other issues. I appreciated her concern and shared with her some of the back issues that I've struggled with my whole life. Throughout class she gave me specific corrections and modifications that helped me get the most out of the class. She was incredibly knowledgable and dedicated to her students. I will definitely be back. Thank you so much! read more

Love taking pilates from Tracy Coe. She is so in tune with your body and makes adjustments so you get the perfect workout. I have had back problems for 27 years and she has worked to strengthen my core so I don't have these issues anymore. Under the unfortunate lockdown that we are now experiencing her online classes are available so we can continue with our workouts. Thank you Tracy!! read more

Awesome Zoom mat class during this crazy COVID time. I didn't know if I'd like a virtual class, but all things considered, it was a great experience!!! read more

I started pilates with Tracy primarily to help with a pinched nerve causing neck and shoulder pain. I had consistent pain for over one year. After less than one year with Tracy, the pain is gone. I attribute it to her consistent teaching and prodding how to properly move my shoulder and neck and everything else. Everything is better without pain. read more

I've been a member of CoeDynamics for several years and as a 50+ man, it's been a life-changing experience. First off, from a vanity perspective, I've got ridges on the stomach I never had as a twentysomething. Secondly, as a golfer, my core is so strong, I can play two rounds of golf in a day while my friends are wilting during the first round. And lastly, work has been terribly stressful this past year due to a management restructuring and my weekly pilates class at Coe has reduced the stress considerably -- and I always sleep better on those nights of my class. Love CoeDynamics! read more

Pilates restored qualify of life after my 1st baby, when doctors could only advise pain killers for my back pain. After moving from N. California to So Cal and when we found out that we were pregnant again, I knew I had to find a good pilates teacher to monitor my body and to help me go thru the pregnancy without developing horrible back pain again. The owner of Body & Mind, Tracy, did just that and I'm now a month to the due date and still no major issues with my back. The other teachers she has at the studio are also very knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend the studio to anybody, but especially to women going thru pregnancy! read more

I've been going to Tracy's classes for over a year, and I chose her class initially because she was offering a class through Manhattan Beach Parks and Recreation classes. But boy, have I stayed on! This last summer I had a knee injury in Paris and thought I might need some sort of surgery. When I got back home, just one class helped my knee feel better, and now I can do everything I did before. Tracy is knowledgeable, kind, attentive, and lots of fun as a teacher. She watches very carefully to make sure you're doing Pilates the right way and getting the most out of it. I take two reformer classes a week and always get individual attention and lots of help. I am a 68-year-old woman who is extremely happy with Coe Dynamics! read more

Excellent trainers, nice energy in the studio. Have taken classes and private and all 3 trainers I have taken with, are excellent, knowledgeable and are enjoyable to work with. The trainers/teachers give such excellent attention to detail and personal needs. Have enjoyed the first month here, and look forward to continuing. read more

I really like their TRX/Reformer combo class. It makes it less boring to do two different types of workouts in the 50 minutes.

I started Pilates about 7 months ago with Tracy Coe at Coe-Dynamics and I love it! Tracy is an amazing teacher who provides personalized attention to each of her students. As a result of taking this class, I am much more aware of my body alignment and my posture and have seen a big improvement in my core strength. Additionally, Tracy has helped me with my nutritional goals by helping me improve my digestive system which allows my body to absorb more nutrients resulting in me feeling much better! Tracy is truly passionate about her job really cares about improving her client's health. read more

My wife and I started Pilates 5 months ago at Coe-Dynamics. I have had an ongoing knee problem that has prevented me from running over six years. The Pilates classes have strenghted my core and caused me to be aware of my balance. Through the prinicals taught, I have been able to correct my running form and am now up to 4 miles per day. Tracy, the owner, and Kelly are excellent trainers and coaches. The studio is clean and parking is excellent. I highly recommend them read more

I love the intimate setting of this studio. The classes are are small enough to give everyone personal attention. Tracey is an excellent instructor who emphasizes correct form and execution. Exercises that I thought were simple in other Pilates classes are super challenging in her class! My posture, technique, and strength have improved tremendously in a short amount of time. This is not just my studio of choice, it's my new addiction! read more

I love this Pilates studio!!! After one session I am finally coming to understand about what working your core really means. All along I thought I was but I was not. Kelly helped me to understand why I was having hip, back and feet pain in only one session. She helped my to do the correct muscle work out and I felt so much improved! I wish I had gone there sooner but I am thrilled I found it now. Nancy read more

I am so glad I signed up for a mat class to try Pilates last summer. I have moved on to individual lessons, and I wanted to share how much I appreciate Debbie's (and Tracey's) support in this new endeavor. Debbie is a wonderful teacher. She has helped me to tap into new areas of strength and to gently push my boundaries so I could be successful. This my sound cliche, but pilates has made a big difference in my life and health. My balance is greatly improved as well as my posture. The neck tension and headaches I experienced are diminished. I have a history of falling and breaking things so it's great to feel more confident in my balance. And to think I've only been doing this for a short time:) Natalie, Manhattan Beach read more

In a nutshell: Small (5 students max), clean studio with an ocean view. I am over 50, out of shape, & was a hesitant student. After 6 months, I have nothing but praise for this studio. All 3 teachers I've had are great (Brittany, Tracy, Kelly). They keep a close eye on your form (unlike classes with 20+ students), and make corrections. They are positive, encouraging, knowledgeable. The studio runs occasional specials, such as buy one class, get one free. Downsides? I wish they offered more basic level classes at more times (mid day or later evening). Overall, I highly recommend! read more

This is an update to our pilates journey at Coe Dynamics. It has been almost a year that my husband and I come to this studio to do our weekly pilates sessions. Besides our fantastic teacher Brittany, we have gotten to know Tracy (the owner) and other teachers (Kelly and Azalea). We still love our regular teacher (Brittany), in addition we really like Tracy, Kelly and Azalea. Each of these wonderful teachers have different styles of teaching, but each one is very effective. We always feel great after each pilates session. With the regular weekly pilates sessions with Brittany, my knees had gotten so much better, I could even jog now (I couldn't walk well a year ago). By the way, I used to be dehydrated and got leg cramps very easily even if I made sure to drink 10 cups of water or more per day and took enough potassium in my vitamins. One day I mentioned this issue with Kelly, she suggested to put a splash of Pink Salt in my water. I have been doing just that for about three weeks, the result is wonderful. I don't know how to explain why Pink Salt works, I just know that it works for me. Thank you, Kelly for this great suggestion; and thank you, Tracy for carry this wonderful product. read more

I have been a member of CoeDynamics now for almost a year and Tracy has completely changed the relationship I have with my body. I have suffered from chronic back pain for several years, and after practicing Pilates with Tracy on a weekly basis, I no longer suffer from consistent back pain in my daily life. In addition to her Pilates practice, Tracy is also a a wellness and nutrition practitioner. After several months of steady Pilates practice at the studio, Tracy and I discussed an internal digestive problem I have suffered from for over a decade. After realizing that my digestive problem could not be solved with steady exercise alone, I met with Tracy and we developed a nutrition program to fit my needs. Immediately after changing my diet per Tracy's suggestions, I stopped suffering from chronic migraines and immediately stopped taking daily migraine medication I had taken for 5 years. After several months, my digestive system got back on track and started functioning better than it had for over 10 years. Tracy helped me take control of health issues that have dictated much of my life, and has set me on the path to great health. I cannot thank her enough! read more

I have been taking Tracy's group reformer class only once a week for 9 months and am truly surprised at the difference it has made. Not only do I feel physically freer, but my golf and tennis games have definitely shown improvement. Tracy has also been terrific guiding me through a 30 day cleanse, including food suggestions, supplements, and mud packing for detoxing. Overall, I feel my skin and energy have improved. Plus, I dropped a couple of unwanted lbs. read more

This is the Pilates studio I go to and it's amazing! Small, with lots of personalized attention and superb knowledge of the discipline. I have deepened my practice significantly since I started working out there, and love every class I've taken, from Jump Board to mat classes and reformer Pilates workouts. Kelli is an amazing teacher, but they're all really good. I can't wait until I can take privates! I would recommend it for anyone, beginners, advanced, etc. read more

Have been going to this studio for years and generally love it The owner recently increased the prices in such a way that... Instead of appreciating customer loyalty.. She has made it impossible to enjoy the " packages" offered by putting a ridiculous time constraint on them... Thereby she has increased the price of classes in one fell swoop Years of classes and loyalty have just been rewarded with a big fat slap in the face with price hike and complete disregard for my years of classes and referrals The instructors are great. The owner needs to get a better handle on customer care. It's not all about the buck! You will lose in the end. read more

I was amazed how much pilates helped me. I'm 34 and drive a lot for work, so had a lot of compression in my lower back. The instructors really got involved to help me and the results were amazing. Just a few sessions and my lower back opened up. After trying exercise for years it's amazing to have such a result that fast. I truly believe it's thanks to the friendly but mostly thorough instructors. They really care and the classes are small, so you get a lot more out of your class. read more

I am a Pilates newbie, but am greatly impressed by the amount of knowledge and caring of all the lovely ladies that teach here. They do amazing body work and manage to make it a good time as well. I also enjoy the studios light airy feel overlooking the beach. Can't beat this winning combination to lift your body, mind and spirit! read more

CoeDynamics has been an awesome and welcoming place from the beginning. They focus on technique and help with modifications if needed. I would recommend this studio to anyone, beginner to advanced. read more
