I just did the reformer pilates class with Chau! Love, Love, Love her. We worked on glutes today and my underbutt buns are burning, in a good way. Highly recommend thus class and her mat pilates as well. read more

Evoken Studio - Pilates Near Me - West Hollywood, California

I really enjoy the Pilates classes here. Today I did Anna's class and it was great! All of the teachers I have taken classes with so far have been awesome and have differing styles, so it never gets old or boring. The studio is clean and pleasant and the music is never too loud or overwhelming. Highly recommend! read more

Took an amazing yoga class with chau! Love the way her moves flow seamlessly together giving a challenging and fun class. The studio space was inviting and calming. read more

This is such a cute and quaint studio. It's tucked away next to Tu Madre. Plenty of street parking. I can actually walk here from my house which is really nice. The machines are super nice. This is reformers but when you add a resistance band, that's when it gets very difficult for me! My Pilates legs really need work. The workout here I would say is a medium to hard but very doable! The music is very peaceful like spa music and the inside is super super nice. Has to be one of the nicest studios I've been to! read more

Everyone knows Evoken is the best, so this is more like a love letter to my favorite teachers--I've been a member for years. Christina - I know if I'm taking Christina's class, I'm going to work, and I'm going to struggle walking the following day. I believe her abs and glutes are the most focused and targeted interpretation, which is perfect. She likes to remind us that we chose to be there. So true! Esther - Esther's classes are like going to a spa. Not to say they're easy and breezy (especially when she's feeling spicy), it's just her energy is so grounded and supportive, you feel like you're at a retreat. Her flows are so flowy and natural. Impossible not to love. She is the antithesis of the mean girls Pilates stereotype. I would go so far as to say she is the backbone of the community. Queen Esther! Janiece - I am beyond lucky that I get to practice with Janiece twice a week--spoiled! Her classes remind me of a Montessori approach: holistic, prepared environment, encouraged to follow your own pace while she observes and supports, which fosters a love for the practice. You know how in order to bend rules you must first master them? That's Janiece; she has some of the most unique flows. Also, she is a DJ. A legit, crazy talented DJ. Janina - The goddess mastermind behind the entire operation that is Evoken. Her classes are fast paced and challenging--she is well known for making people sweat. I almost never break in her class because the constant forward-motion vibe is addictive. Love when she plays afrobeats. She has a special talent of cherry picking only the best instructors for us. Thank you, Janina! Jennifer - I wish I could take Jennifer's classes more often--she is amazing. When the timing aligns, it's really a treat, because I enjoy her class so much, it's so invigorating. I love how she describes why specific movements aid in overall wellness and the aging process, which naturally inspires me to perfect my form and push myself in the best way. She's a force! Kevin - I can't properly describe how fun Kevin's classes are. It literally feels like a party, and for some reason, I feel like his classes snatch me the most. Time flies, the energy is infectious, and the music is always perfectly nostalgic--pop divas and masterfully curated Y2k divinity! Somehow each class is a different playlist...I don't know how he does it. Teo - Apparently has never done ballet, but must've been a dancer in a past life because he teaches like a ballet master. His adjustments have changed the way I practice forever, and the individual attention he gives is unmatched and impressive. Don't take his class if you want to fly under the radar; he has eyes on the back of his head. Also, his 10 seconds is about 20 for the rest of us read more

Came for an awesome event which took place upstairs and in the available downstairs space. Discovered some new products and vendors at their event. There's metered street parking and free parking in a lot behind the building (entrance on Santa Monica Blvd). (November 5, 2023) Will need to comeback another time for Pilates! read more

See all

I absolutely love coming to Evoken! I especially enjoy the owner's classes--Janina is truly something special. Even though I've only been a handful of times, I make it a point to stop by whenever I'm in the area because it's that good. The moment you walk in, the clean neutral space, calming music, and candlelit ambiance make you feel instantly relaxed. Janina's class is hands-down my favorite Pilates class in LA. I have a couple of studios I go to closer to home, but nothing compares. Her instruction is so clear, thoughtful, and precise. I also love that the class size is perfect--not too big, not too small. You never feel like all eyes are on you, but the class is intimate enough that she notices and gently corrects your form when needed. I went yesterday after work and had the most amazing class. Bonus points for keeping the door locked so there are zero distractions--it really adds to the whole experience. My only complaint? I wish I lived closer so I could go all the time! read more

I had so much fun during my jump sculpt class with Kevin! it was difficult but exciting. Kevin kept everything super fun and had so many different jump moves to keep the class exciting! read more

Tracy was great!!!!!!!! Best class thanks for everything! I love this studio! Evoken is the best!

Great class with great energy and music! I love coming here and starting my morning here :)

This is quite literally the best studio I've ever been to. The space is beautiful and inviting and the instructors are helpful and friendly. I've done a lot of reformer classes, but none compare to Evoken, read more

Evoken has such a peaceful aesthetic. Every time I walk in, the space invites me to clear my mind and leave my worries behind. When I joined Evoken, I was a new to pilates. This exercise has helped me gain more energy, eased my clicking knee and hip joints, and given me a strong core. I used to be a weightlifting girly, but I found myself so exhausted and needing to take 2-3 hour naps. Pilates is perfect for me because it's challenging and keeps me toned, without the burnout. I've taken classes with almost every instructor and every one of them is fantastic. My favorite instructor is the owner, Janina. She is kind, patient, and her instructions and modifications are very clear. Kevin has a really fun and upbeat vibe! And the classes I've taken with Marikah and Esther have a very relaxing vibe. It looks like there's some new classes and teachers added to the schedule and I'm so excited to try them out! read more

I just finished taking a Pilates class with Esther. It was really great. I really enjoyed this Pilates class a lot. It was a great mix of a challenge and do ability which made for an easy transition into flow. Her instructions were clear she gave good adjustments, and I felt like the class went by at a very good pace. I felt like I got a good workout in my core and my bum, which was the focus of the class. I bought some grip socks from them as it was mandatory to have. So if you have some at home, bring them otherwise you can purchase them at the studio. The location is beautiful, clean and aesthetically pleasing. I will be back for another class soon. read more

Are you experiencing feelings of stress, overwhelm, and a constant sense of not doing enough? I used to be that way before I started practicing kundalini yoga with Malyvahn. My nervous system was in turmoil. The Breathwork is my favorite part of kundalini yoga. After Breathwork, I feel light as a feather and don't even remember what I was stressed about. Malyvahn provides an explanation of what we're releasing through Breathwork and why, and then leads us through a meditation that is associated with the astrological events occurring. Malyvahn's class has assisted me in creating my own business and managing it with ease and grace. read more

The only Pilates Studio in LA where EVERY instructor is PHENOMENAL!!!! In addition the interior design is stunning with both cold plunge and sauna upstair. Plus FREE parking! read more

Evoken is so good that I'm tempted to gatekeep, but it'd be a crime to keep the best reformer Pilates in LA a secret. Special shoutout to Janina, the owner, as well as Marikah and Janiece, but every instructor I've taken here has been motivating and challenging in the best way. I had never done reformer before my first time here over a year ago, and Janina was super patient and got me acclimated in no time. A year later, I can safely say it's changed my life! Thanks Evoken read more

I love all of the different instructors that teach the classes they all demonstrate in detail every time. best pilates studio!

Absolutely recommend Esther's class specifically! She's the best, and super knowledgeable. Best studio in WeHo by far.
