I recently had major spinal surgery -- L-3 fused to L-4 and L-5 to T-1. My surgeon warned me it…read morecould be a major ordeal and I would have to go to to Rehab afterwards. I'd been working with Theresa for about a year and a half, three times a week, and trained up to the point I entered the hospital. Today, is 3 weeks from my surgery. My recovery has been unbelievably smooth and quick. Everyone, from my docttors to my physical therapists, are blown away by how well I'm doing. This is my eighth major surgery in seven years, and most of them were extremely difficult to recover from. When I told them all about the work I had been doing with Theresa, and explained how she had modified exercises for me, every single one of them credited her for the speed and quality for my recovery. She truly made the hugest difference in my life. In fact, my surgeon's office told me they wanted me to not just have follow-up tphysical herapy, but also instructed me to start working with her again right away,, and not stop. When a neurosurgeon actually compliments the work of a pilates instructor, you know they're special. No one will take care f you the way Theresa does. She is a bona fide healer.

I started working with Whitney in early 2024, after many years of battling with an irregular or…read morenonexistent fitness routine (and subsequently poor body image). As someone who did not have a strong foundation in the gym, I was looking for a trainer who could create a bespoke program and help me master form from the ground up. From day one, Whitney was encouraging, thorough, and helped me feel welcome in an environment that had at one time brought me a lot of anxiety. She was able to diagnose the muscular imbalances that were causing pain, and we set out on a routine that truly transformed my life! I, like many of us, spend a lot of time working on a computer and my posture really suffered from it. Whitney focused on strengthening and lengthening muscles that were previously pulling my head and shoulders forward, which has reduced a ton of neck & upper back discomfort and improved my posture overall. She also helped me build strength and better muscular balance throughout my lower body and abdomen. Over the 7 months we worked together, I lost 30 lbs of fat and gained 10 lbs of muscle, while also eliminating the lower back pain I had been struggling with for years. I lost 6+ inches from the areas that were causing me the most insecurity, and gained definition in my glutes, shoulders, back and legs. My time with Whitney recently came to an end after I moved to another part of town, but I would absolutely still be working with her if I could. She and Byron genuinely transformed my relationship with my body, instilled confidence and strength I had not been able to access on my own, and have laid the foundation for me to continue (and even look forward to!) a lifelong fitness journey.

Whitney helped me achieve transformative results. I'm a tall skinny guy and have always had trouble…read moreputting on muscle. I'm also an avid surfer and snowboarder and had just let my desk job get the better of me and needed a jumpstart to get back into shape and a real habit of fitness and training. And I got all of that and more. Whitney's technique-driven approach with weightlifting and focus on improving my diet helped me gain 20 lbs of muscle and lose probably 5 lbs of fat/water weight over the course of 5 months. She is a true "coach", which kept me motivated, and she cares about her client's improvements, including not just in the weight room, but outside via diet and lifestyle. It's a full 360 approach. Whitney helped me identify my greatest points of weakness (for me, legs, chest and glutes) and coached me how to properly isolate those muscle groups and I saw gains I've never realized during previous bouts of weight training. I'm very grateful to have worked with her--she has set me off on a great path to train myself now and once I plateau again I'm looking forward to returning to train with her.

Jenna's lower-back-focused classes have been a game changer for me. I really appreciate how…read moreintentional and educational her approach is--it's not just about a hard-core Pilates workout, but about understanding your body and addressing real pain points like neck and lower back issues. As someone dealing with lower back pain and a bulging disc, I've felt incredibly supported. Jenna is very attentive--she carefully observes movement, listens closely, and adjusts exercises to make sure they're safe and effective. She also provides thoughtful feedback and practical "homework" I can apply outside of class. On top of that, she brings such positive, inspiring energy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a more mindful, therapeutic approach to Pilates.

She is not just a Pilates instructor, she is a healer, in private meetings and in class. I absolutely love my sessions with Jenna and recommend her to you without any reservation.

Patrice, hands-down, is the best Pilates instructor in West LA (maybe even west of the Mississippi…read more). If you are ready to work hard, build strength, and change your body, Pilates 80/20 is the place for you. The class vibe is low ego, high commit. The focus is on form, technique, and ongoing growth, so you never plateau or just " go through the motions." The culture Patrice has created attracts like-minded students: a community of thoughtful, hard-working and welcoming people, always encouraging one another in the studio, regardless of age, experience or level. And her set list is always on point . Although Pilates 80/20 recently opened, I have studied with Patrice for 5+ years, so this review has longevity.

Working with Katie totally transformed my thinking about fitness and nutrition. When I started with…read moreKatie, I was very self conscious about working out at the gym and felt overwhelmed about what to do. Katie helped me find my confidence at the gym by teaching me all about proper form, the muscle groups, and how to structure a workout week. She encouraged me to try new things to find what I like and because of this I've been more consistent than ever in my life. Now, I look forward to working out and am extremely proud of how much stronger I have become. For nutrition, Katie helped me look carefully at how I'm fueling my body and helped me get rid of the shame I had when eating certain foods. She shared so many protein-packed, delicious recipes and helped me practice mindful eating. This truly changed my mindset about eating and helped me have a better relationship with food. She's patient and extremely kind but always pushed me to challenge my self and reach that next level. Not only did Katie create workout and nutrition plans that were tailored towards my individual goals but she also equipped me with the knowledge to continue working towards my goals on my own. Katie doesn't just help you lose weight or get stronger; she helps you create habits and gain the knowledge to live a healthy lifestyle that will last.
