This class kicked my butt! The studio is really clean and nice. Good music, lights, vibes and awesome instructor. It was my first time on this machine. I started to sweat 10 minutes in. It was definitely hard and I cheated a couple of times. Lol If I live closer, I would be coming here every day. Please open more locations. Dont forget your grip socks or buy it there.

I joined Formation when they first opened up in October and took the fall in formation challenge. This was a great way to personally hold myself accountable to be able to work out as much as I could. All of the instructors that I took a class with were great and were really informative and how my body should be positioned for every movement. Lagree is definitely challenging and I encourage anyone looking for a new workout to try lagree out, especially this studio. Although I'm currently not a member anymore, I do plan on going back again soon.

12 megaformers in the studio.

I signed up for their presale event and been going ever since. The instructors are phenomenal! Each instructor has their own style and energy. Very encouraging and welcoming environment! I love how the instructors demo the moves on and off the mega reformer. This helps since I'm a visual learner. The instructions are clear, there are no mic issues. The studio has 12 megaformers, water, bathroom, and a room with cubbies to place your items. They also have grip socks and drinks for sale. Pros: - beginner friendly - water available - Easy to book through their app, you can also pick your mega reformer! - on classpass Cons: - parking can be a challenge, but there is a small lot it shares among the other stores. There is street parking.

My first class at this new studio here! Limited size parking lot but was able to find a spot just fine. Right next to a great coffee and pastry spot, Goki Cafe as well. I booked my first class through ClassPass and Molly M was my instructor. She was great with instruction and had a good rhythm of announcing next moves. The machines are brand new which is great and numbered to find your spot. I like that there are mirrors on all 3 sides of you. I like how there's not a window facing the outside and it's all studio to keep your focus on the class. The waiting area is spacious and the cubbies are tucked in another room which I liked. Looking forward to coming back!

I'm so glad my friend told me about Formation Lagree, which recently opened in Arcadia. The grand opening promo was fantastic-I managed to grab the 10 classes for $150. I've been a regular at gyms like Gold's and 24HF for years, but honestly, I've never experienced anything quite like this. My body is feeling it in a whole new way. So far, I've taken 3 classes with Monica and Caitlin, and I'm realizing I might not have truly worked out until now. My body is shaking, sweating, and definitely feeling the burn. Even if you take the same instructor, each class is unique, so you won't get bored. This workout really targets everything, especially your abs, legs, thighs, and glutes. Each time I think I won't make it because I'm drenched in sweat and cursing inside, I glance at my watch and it's already 40 mins in- just 5 more minutes to go! If you are a beginner like me, no worries; you can always adjust the weight and modify the moves as needed. I have a wrist and elbow issue on my left arm so I would make modifications when I need to. The studio is located next to Goki Cafe, though parking is a bit tricky because it's near where the Gold Line passes through. If necessary, you can always park at 24HF across the street and walk over. Plus, their app is super easy to use for booking and canceling classes.

Took the leap and started lagree. I found Formation after searching through studios in my area and comparing prices. Formation is the best priced studio I've ever found! All the instructors are fun, upbeat, and very very helpful. They do hands on adjustments (but you can always tell them you're not comfortable with that), and always remind you to breathe. They'll always ask if anyone has injuries and will provide modifications if needed. The studio is super clean and has that industrial look inside. Bonus points cause it's dark! There are 12 mega formers and you can reserve your spot up to a month in advanced on the app. I absolutely LOVE this place and I always look forward to a class! You'll definitely be shaking after class!

Come here mainly for pole via Classpass but haven't been back because it's been costing over 15+…read morecredits, but I love Ruby the instructor so wanted to give her her flowers in this review. Story time - I've taken a class once elsewhere, it was my first class in a long time and that instructor basically just left me out in the cold as she tended to her more experienced students, chatting and cackling away with them as she gave me random conditioning exercises to do. I felt very alone (and also out of shape) that I was too scared to ever go back to another pole class. Two years later I decide to take a class with Ruby and that was completely night and day. Everyone in the class was so sweet and encouraging and even though I was new and inexperienced, Ruby gently reminded me that everyone always start somewhere and that we should always be proud of our progress, big or small. So if you ever want to try pole, Ruby is an excellent instructor to get you started. She's so talented and really cares about her students and their success and I feel very lucky to get to learn from her.

This studio is very Mandarin-heavy. The classes can be conducted in English but instructors have…read moreheavy accents and seem to prefer to teach in Chinese. If you guys have ever been to Fine Yoga in El Monte- I think the owner opened up this new studio in Arcadia. They offer private and group yoga, aerial yoga, reformer pilates, and other types of pilates classes. Once you enter, take off your shoes and put them in the cubby. Someone will check you in via their phone. The floors are really dirty- the bottoms of my feet turned black lol... but it's fine I guess. Bring your own yoga mat for yoga class - if you forget, they can lend you one. My yoga class was conducted in half Mandarin, half English - it's confusing and difficult to keep up with the language switches, but the instructor was pretty hands-on (which I liked). There's free parking in the plaza parking lot - spots are small. There are 2 gender-neutral restrooms - relatively clean. No showers, no lockers.

After writing multiple emails to request my refund almost a month ago, she has not replied. I…read morereached out to multiple of her emails and she still will not respond. I sent one last email 2 days ago and she continues to IGNORE. Therefore, I am taking this onto the small claims court. Like the other victims of her, this is hours of time wasted on her but I am not just letting her get away with $1200 and continue to have others become victims. BE AWARE OF THIS BUSINESS AND THE OWNER. UPDATE: Owner responded under this comment claiming that she does not offer refunds and that it was stated in her studio policy. For us THERE WAS NO STUDIO POLICY SHOWN AND WE DID NOT SIGN ANYTHING. We were also not gone for a month, she did not notify us of her absence so we waited outside over 10 minutes for class and then emailed her to ask why she didn't show up. The week after was the holidays so my girls had winter break for two weeks. However, I told her exactly when we will resume in which she did not disagree with and then when we showed up on 1/6, she doubled booked. I will not be backing up on this because she promised a refund.

CLASS get last min CANCELLED WITHOUT NOTICE 4 TIMES in a roll. After 10 months of effort, complaining to Local police, Langham hotel and Better Business Bureau, Apple Pay......nothing works. I still have got my money back. it's $840 plus hours wasted on this matter. I think Yelp may be the only Chanel to help others to avoid what we went thru. Jacqueline kept asking me to remove this review in exchange she will refund me. She also send harassing messages calling me crazy A$$, insane, "how can you getting married". Very toxic process throughout this 10 months. I guess she was able to get other bad review removed this way. I was temped before but now I rather just leave the review here to prevent more victims. please see below pics for her harassing messages. Last, if you guys still want to try this place out, please DO NOT PAY by Cash, Apple Pay, Venmo or Zelle. They won't refund you the charge even if you dont get the service. Use Credit Card or thru mind body app if you must. Jacqueline will tell you the app doesn't work and mess up her class which is not true. Good Luck yelpers.

There are a total of seven reformers, signing up for class is super easy and straight forward on their website. There are several different class packs you can buy if you don't want to commit to a membership. I parked at the Schoolhouse parking garage on Green St. $1 for up to two hours and it was only about a three minute walk to the studio. Quick, safe and convenient. I had Sheri as my instructor. Even though it was an intro class, we had a mixture of people with all different levels. Sheri was awesome to give different options to those who are more advanced or simply those who would like a challenge. If you're thinking of taking your first reformers class, don't be intimated because your instructor will go over each functionality/part of the machine. One of the things I look out for when determining how much I'll enjoy the class is whether or not an instructor will be hands-on in correcting your form. Like yes, please correct me so I will know what's the correct way moving forward. So thank you Sheri for being hands-on. I was back home for the holiday season and I'm glad Yelp helped me discover this studio.

The instructor had clear instructions and she walked us through how to use the different machines and equipment, how the routines work the different muscles, and how to properly breathe as we move. There were three of us in the intro class at the time. Unfortunately, my friend was a couple of minutes late so they had her reschedule her intro class. They seem to be stricter on time compared to other studios but I get it. The facilities look well-kept and they have a hydration station and the bathrooms in the back. The cubbies are in the front as well as grip socks for purchase if you need them. Parking is easy and they have Chuck E Cheese as well as the Habit right next door. If I were just a little bit closer to this location, I would consider a membership but I travel a lot for work. The enrollment fee may be a barrier for folks but they may waive the enrollment fee during certain times of the year.

Life-Changing Instructor - Geri is Truly One of a Kind!…read more I've had chronic back and shoulder pain from scoliosis since I was young. Over the years, I've tried everything--physical therapy, chiropractic care, neuro therapy--you name it. Nothing ever really worked... until I found Geri. I started attending her Pilates classes in May 2023, and I genuinely haven't felt this good in my body in years. She has something special. Through classical Pilates, she's helped realign my spine and hips and completely transformed the way I move and feel. My pain is gone, and I feel stronger and more connected to my body and mind than ever before. Geri is hands down the most knowledgeable instructor I've ever met--and that's saying a lot because I've been to over 30 well-known studios across LA. She has an incredible eye and can instantly spot where your form is off or what needs adjusting. She doesn't just lead a class--she teaches you how to move better, listen to your body, and grow stronger. She guides us with her strong spirit through every movement--and through life. Even after moving to the Westside, I still drive across the city just to train with her. I haven't found anyone else who comes close. Her energy, passion, and professionalism are unmatched. I'm endlessly grateful to have found her.
