Incredible studio So cozy and comfortable Very talented instructors and the owner is delightful. I will absolutely come here every time I am In town. read more

Grace and Lindsey are exceptional instructors and the space is spotless and welcoming. All the equipment is clean and updated...we have been enjoying the studio for over a decade . read more

Great, clean and friendly studio. I took a reformer (mixed level) class with Grace and she was fantastic! The class was 55 minutes and it flew by. Grace was full of energy and super helpful in showing me how to do moves that I was unfamiliar with. She also gave you options during the class to intensify the workout or make it a little easier for beginners. Also, there aren't too many reformers in a class (I think 6 or so), so it's personal and intimate. Love this part! Street parking (Moorpark St) and it's located on the second floor. read more

I should start out by saying I want to give this a 4.5/5. Unfortunately Yelp doesn't allow half-marks. There's only a couple things that make it slightly less than perfect. I signed up for "one a day for 30 days" pilates classes at Grace Anatomy last month on a hunch that I would really enjoy it. I've taken pilates group reformer classes before at Pilates Studio City but became really disenchanted with PSC when surplus classes I had paid for expired prior to using them. I thought, "I'm going to see what else is out there..." I have to say Grace is absolutely charming and a very hard working young woman! I love the overall feel of her studio - it feels very authentic; it's more of a passion and purpose for her than just a business. The studio itself also feels more like what you would expect in New York; it's mainly functional and all about the machines, apparatuses, and most importantly, pilates. It's not glitzy or highly decorated- this is not a poser pilates studio! ;) I'm going to list some of my impressions by PROS and CONS: PROS 1. The quality of instruction is absolutely superlative. 10 out of 10 in terms of quality. Every class I've taken has been worth every penny. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, well-trained, energetic people who care as much about form and technique as they do about taking you through an hour's routine. They are all also very encouraging. I've noticed certain aspects of my practice improve in the one month I've taken at Grace than in the 2+ years I took on/off at PSC. The instruction is also varied - no two days are the same. The instructors are not just turning out boiler-plate routines; each class is unique and again, I've learned more new exercises with the reformer in the last month than I learned in two years at PSC. Be prepared to WORK! 2. The machines are STOTT reformers. I've had no prior experience with these machines, but I have found them incredibly convenient to use, especially for transitioning between sets. There's no messing about with triangles or small loops or big loops. It's just loops. If you're about 5'7" or taller, you "peg out" during certain exercises which is literally moving one peg up a notch - there's no fighting with trying to adjust the entire carriage forward or back. The springs are straight-forward as well: red, blue, and white = heaviest, medium, lightest. It's easier to remember what they stand for. The ropes never seem to get out of synch with each other either which is great. I used to hate having to stop to adjust my straps so that one wasn't longer/shorter than the other. The reformers are also stationary. 3. Because the reformers are stationary, EVERYTHING you will need for whatever kind of class you take is at your fingertips. Each reformer has a basket at the far end filled with grippies, balls, bands, the magic circle, etc. Dowels are conveniently places in the side of the reformer and the boxes are just next to the carriage. I like this as it allows for ease and speed when moving from one set to another. There's no walking around lugging pieces all over the place. 4. This is more related to the instructors again, but the classes are fun in that the instructors are personable and nice, but they are very professional. There's no insipid chit-chat interrupting class. The instructors stay on-point and ensure that everybody is getting a quality workout. I put this down to the instructors because I don't think the clients are necessarily any different than they are anywhere else, but somehow people know to keep the chatter low and focus on pilates. Banter is not encouraged during class. CONS 1. The main one: Parking. There is no dedicated parking lot so, depending upon what's going on around Moorpark, you may have to park far away. I don't mind the walk of having to park far away, but I usually cut the time very close as I come from downtown mid-week and have tons of traffic on the 101. It's a little frustrating to have to hunt down a spot while worrying about not being late. It's definitely not a deal-breaker for me, but it's the one major drawback over PSC for me. 2. This is a con-in-a-pro. Again, because this is such a small, authentic studio, sometimes everybody is busy and if you try and call, you will just get voicemail. There have been a couple times when I've called to say I'm running late, or because I've wanted to cancel (without having to go online on my phone while driving), and I can't get through. They don't seem to have a receptionist or anybody dedicated to just handling phones. To be honest, they probably don't need that, and it's a minor caveat. 3. This is not so much a con as a consideration. It would be great if the reformer classes were offered earlier/later since I work M-F full time. Other than these couple pesky things, this place ROCKS!!! read more

I had been wanting to take a pilates reformer class for a long time but couldn't stomach the cost. I came across Grace Anatomy through a groupon and thought it was worth a try. I was really nervous about taking a pilates class. It's a bit intimidating! Lots of studios seemed to require people to take an introductory session or only offered private lessons. I jumped in with fingers crossed and hoped I wouldn't make too big of a fool of myself. GAPS was great! Not intimidating at all. I attended a class during a holiday where Grace subbed. She was wonderful and took the time to explain things to me. The class was challenging but very flexible to your skill level. The classes are small so you still got lots of attention. I loved that you can reserve spots online as well. I definitely would recommend GAPS for the first time pilates student. I had a great experience and can't wait until I go again! read more

Grace Anatomy is kind of expensive. Should I be making this call? Probably not since I don't take pilates that often. The class, if I remember correctly, was $22. Make sure you bring socks. If not, you'll have to buy a pair at $2 a pop. I think the fact that this place is upstairs and parking isn't super convenient - I think I parked at a meter - are Facebook DISLIKES. Also, the hallway is narrow and the space is shaped oddly. I just wasn't too fond of the energy of the place - not negative, just not zen. Now I sound crazy. Overall, it is clean and the people are friendly. I'm probably just being too picky. Don't let my review make you not go - because it is a quality place. Just not for me. read more

This was my first Pilates experience! I got a complimentary class card from Grace at their class at Lululemon! The class size was only 6 so it allowed for a good deal of individual attention! This was great because I've never used the Pilates machine and Grace had time to help me set it up and correct my form! I felt very welcome! Grace remembered me from an e-mail and called us all by first name which made the class seem very familiar and family like! Exercises change frequently and you use a variety of apparatuses. Everything is explained simply and really helps move from one exercise to the next. I felt challenged and encouraged the entire hour! And I loved the music choices for the class! Fun up-beat songs and at a perfect volume so I could actually hear the instructor! It may seem simple, but music changes my entire workout and if I can't hear the instructor I become hesitant and nervous about the workout! Who knew pilates was so fun? read more

Grace is patient, challenging and keeps each Pilates session interesting. Not to mention she is a very fun and nice person to have as a teacher. For awhile I was bouncing around to a few different Pilates Studios trying to find the right teacher. I have found her. I have been going twice a week for about 8 months with another partner for semi-privates. My job gives me neck and back pain and honestly since i've been going to grace its been a lot less thanks to strengthening the right areas and learning the right posture. No more slouching! My body feels so much stronger and she works muscle groups I never knew I had. She will make you sore (in a good way)! I mean damn, I look good now! I think I'm addicted. read more

Grace Anatomy is the studio you should be at if you want to change your body for the better. In February, I decided to add Pilates to my routine because my core strength has always been a problem - and I felt it was holding me back in my running and other activities. I did an intro session with Grace and it was wonderful. She asked detailed questions about my injuries, and worked my core like nobody's business. So after this wonderful first session, did I go straight back to Grace. Unfortunately, no. Whether I was swayed by free water or cheaper private sessions, I can't say, but I ended up signing up for an initial session at another studio (also reviewed), and found going a habit. And even though the other studio charges 5 or 7 dollars less per private session, Grace's fee is worth it. I was penny wise and pound foolish. The cheap, turned out expensive. All those cliches to say I made a bad decision based on faulty reasoning. But I still wasn't happy with my other studio, so I started cheating on my other instructor. I go two days a week to him, and one day a week to Grace. As soon as my other sessions run out, I'm switching to Grace full time. She listens to me and what *else* I'm doing with my body, and her workouts compliment my other exercise instead of duplicating it. Also, her routines are varied and interesting. I do not start all sessions on my back on the reformer. Sometimes we start on the floor, or on the foam roller, or on the Cadillac. Plus Grace is fun, and funny, and she keeps the sessions lively, interesting, and above all challenging. read more

The studio's name in itself makes you want to go to THIS pilates class. Taking from Grace has been such a fun and enjoyable experience. She not only makes working out challenging, but at the same time she is able to make it a pleasurable hour of your day. Taking class at Grace Anatomy is good for people like me, who don't LOVE to go to the gym and run on a treadmill, or who have a hard time working out without someone telling them they can do it. After this class, you are sure to feel accomplished! Ps. I've only been going to Grace for about two months and people are constantly telling me I look slimmer and more toned! = ) read more

One cross-country move & a year-and-a-half break later, I wanted to get back into Pilates when I moved from Miami to LA. UNlike Miami, there's a studio on every block in LA and the Valley. My second stop was at Grace Anatomy and have never left! Lots of class choices, AWESOME instructors, small class sizes and convenient 7 days a week scheduling. I used to drive 30 minutes to practice pilates in Miami; here it's 8-10 minutes away, up the steps in the door to your workout. Grace is such a positive person and she makes pilates fun, and if you're fortunate to take a class with her, you're going to feel it! There's always new moves, props & classes to test your skills and get your workout on. I appreciate her willingness to listen to her clientele regarding adding/scheduling classes.. only a few days after a discussion on an early-bird class, voila! We have a 7:30am class for us early risers. I recommend Grace Anatomy Pilates Studio for everyone - beginners to advanced pilates enthusiasts! read more

I have wanted to come to Grace Anatomy Pilates for I think about 10 years now.... When I first moved to LA and was a starving & poor Set PA I would always drive by and think I love the name Grace Anatomy... It's just so what pilates is all about. I never tried it. I moved a few times and now I'm back in the valley. I found a groupon for grace and finally have a chance to use it. Today was the first day I went there. I was warmly greeted by Grace herself. Yeah! I joined a level 1 reformer class (all new students do), taught by Jolene. It was awesome. She had us start on foam rollers on our backs, such a treat! We did a lot of arm and core work, it was great. I liked that the class only has 6 reformers, I think you get more attention to form and true 'pilates' teaching that way. I took pilates years ago in Seattle from a studio trained by Joseph Pilates, this is the first studio I've been to in LA that really felt like that. I would absolutely recommend Grace Anatomy! p.s. parking was super easy. read more

My experience at Grace Anatomy has been nothing short of amazing. All of the instructors are attentive, sweet, and motivating. I don't have much experience doing pilates (more weight training and yoga) but I know that my body loves this type of exercise. In addition to the awesome staff, the class sizes are very small (it's more like taking a semi-private class, truthfully) and you get a lot of space on and around the reformers. As a result, I've had more personalized attention and feel I get more from my session as a result. The parking is always easy and the studio is spotless, too. Also, they have classes every day of the week - which makes it easy to fit in a class with my ultra-busy schedule. Seriously, as a result of coming here, I feel a new workout addiction coming on. And it takes a lot to get me addicted. Whether you're a newbie (like me) or a hardcore pilates enthusiast - give 'em a try. You'll dig it. read more

Started trying classes here via ClassPass a year ago and fell in the love with the place and now buying packages. Studio with no fuss atmosphere and very welcoming. Has 8 Stott reformers and variety of props (ie resistance bands, foam rollers, weights, ball, ring, etc). Variety of instructor styles but Grace and Theresa are definitely my favorites as they change up the routine often and are challenging. read more

I have been taking pilates religiously for about 5 years now. I have tried quite a few studios but I have NEVER felt as challenged, encouraged, and accomplished as I do when I leave Grace Anatomy! It is a total hidden gem! What I love is that Grace gives you options for every exercise to make it easy-medium-hard, letting you challenge yourself or take it easy on some moves that may seem intimidating. I've taken about 20 classes here and rarely have done the same exercises twice! The classes are fast paced, but not lacking individual attention from the instructors. This place is fabulous! read more

I love learning but let's be real. Being the new kid in class is NOT my favorite. New to Pilates, I decided to check out Grace's Anatomy based on its reviews and a recommendation from a friend. I'm not a fan of any workout studio that feels like a scene and stacked with instructors that fit that scene all too well. Well ladies and gents, I am happy to report that Grace's Anatomy is a DREAM COME TRUE. So far I have taken two classes with Samantha and Theresa and let me tell you, both of these ladies are absolute GEMS! Being the only newbie in both classes, they both made me feel so welcomed, were incredibly attentive ensuring that I was doing the work correctly, and made me feel super safe and like I was Pilates genius by the end of each class :) Space is super chill, the equipment is great, and I honestly can't be happier with this place! read more

Love how this place feels very welcoming and homey, definite sense of community and family. Took a class with Arie B. She was amazing, friendly, and whole heartedly caring about her craft. Bathrooms are very clean and even had complimentary female products in the bathroom which I thought was very attentive and discrete. My fiancé loves this place and so do I :) thanks Grace & Arie! read more

If you're looking for pilates bootcamp instructors, then this studio is NOT for you. The classes at Grace Anatomy offer intensity and challenge, without instructors barking orders at you. The instructors really enjoy teaching, and it shows. Of course they all have their individual styles, so experiment with the classes to determine who suits your personality and workout preferences best. Because the classes are small (max 6 students per class), you can be sure you will get one-on-one attention with focus on form. No, it's not the cheapest pilates studio in the area, but Grace Anatomy is not a factory that crams reformers in every square inch available and churns through students. Whenever I go to class, I always know I'll get a full-body workout and will thoroughly enjoy every minute of it (and yes, even the dreaded hundreds). read more

I have to say that most of my friends are very devoted to Windsor Pilates in West Hollywood, but for me I wanted a place that would fit better into my lifestyle as I find it hard to spend so much of my day just trying to get over the hill and back. I have to say that Grace Anatomy has been such an amazing find. Not only is the location perfect, but the schedules and scheduling process is so easy it makes getting into a routine very effortless. Not only do they offer a variety of classes (that are limited to 5 students per class), but they have semiprivate and private sessions that are extremely reasonable. So far I have only taken classes with Deborah (who is so warm she is like your own personal cheerleader), but the owner Grace is also very inviting and personable. By my third visit not only was I greeted by name, but I truly felt right at home as if I had been going here for years. read more

This is an excellent place to start a lifelong love affair with pilates. The instructors are able to challenge more advanced students while taking care of newbies who need to learn the "ropes" of getting in and out of the machine. I have been several times in one month and right from the start, I felt my core strength really start to engage, and best of all the next day is when I really felt, well, different. More energetic, more grounded. It is a deep, progressive workout for the body which also keeps true to the grace of pilates practice. Very clean studio, very friendly staff, a real neighborhood "find" read more

Found this place because I got a groupon.... the studio is great. Had an awesome work out and felt great after. The instructor was super nice and really helped me out with the exercises. read more

I've known a few of the instructors here for a while and they kept bugging me to give it a try. I decided to finally try it and I am now completely addicted. Grace is the sweetest warm hearted person I have ever met and runs the business like no other. The small classes allow almost more for a one on one session all the time. The instructors are all amazing and you definitely work your entire core on the state of the art reformers they have. Whether your advanced or a beginner try have classes for you. All of the instructors are extremely advanced and are more than willing to work with you if you have a small injury. Private sessions are also available. I highly recommend taking Pilates at Grace Anatomy Pilates. read more

Adore Grace. Absolutely adore her. She's got boundless energy, she's kind and super thoughtful - and remembers everyone (kudos considering there are so many people floating in and out of her studio). And her classes rock. They're perfectly Pilates and challenging. Not watered-down and not easy. She gives you options for settings so there's no one left behind and the pace is quick without being confusing. Exactly how Pilates should be. She's the best. read more

Who knew that getting your body in shape and reinforcing core strength could be both possible and fun? I leave every workout thinking about the next. Days after a class I find myself focusing on my core, breathing and posture. Grace and her Staff are supportive, possessing a knowledge that engenders trust. The environment is highly positive. One can't leave there without feeling a success. read more

I came to Grace Anatomy for the group reformer classes. I was very devoted to Pilates at a studio in Boston before I moved to LA. I tried a couple different studios out here and Grace Anatomy has by far the most knowledgeable instructors. Tammy is amazing and even with 5 other students, you get a lot of attention and correction from the teacher! When you have a great instructor, Pilates can be one of the best workouts ever. I let myself get out of shape and now I've started back up again- after only 4 classes I already see the difference in my body, especially my upper legs and waist. I went to a class last night and my abs and back are so sore that laughing hurts. You definitely get your moneys worth!! Will recommend this place to everyone. Especially if you've never tried pilates before because they are very careful and make sure you have great form to make sure you don't hurt yourself. read more

Friendly, clean studio. I always feel taken care of in class, which is so important for a form focused workout like Pilates. This is definitely my favorite Pilates studio in LA. read more

I've been taking classes at Grace Anatomy since February and now I fit into my skinny pants. What more do you need to know? Just like Perri, I've been getting tons of compliments, especially on my toned arms. Grace is amazing, energetic, supportive and knowledgeable. She is the perfect trainer for first-time pilates students. If you want your butt kicked, take a class with Katie. She looks petite and cute, but she will work you over (in a good way). I love this place! read more

Purchased a set of classes from Groupon. Lots of choices throughout the day, which works well for almost anyone's schedule. Cozy environment. The instructors are patient yet motivating. A much more pleasant experience than what other places in the area offer. I would definitely recommend for someone wanting to try Pilates for the first time. read more

Found Grace through a friend who raved about it. I didn't know what to expect, but I gave it a go! I wish my schedule (and budget) allowed me to get here everyday. I've been an avid gym goer for the majority of my life, and I can honestly say that this workout is like none other. The teachers are great, the facility is great, and I look forward to every class. read more

Love this place! I've only taken one class, but I was the only student so I basically got a private training session. Tiffany was my instructor and she was fabulous. I can't wait to go back on Friday! read more

Great Studio with such upbeat people that work there!! They are very accommodating and I'm always able to schedule a convenient time for a class. The studio is ALWAYS very clean and with a very relaxing environment. The teachers really truly love what they do. So happy I found you guys!!!!! read more

Grace Anatomy is wonderful. I started Pilates about a year ago. I was nervous to be a beginner. I started with about 8 individual sessions and then transitioned into classes. I think I have worked with almost every instructor and had good experiences. Even though I have had surgery in the past, I never feel badly if I can't do something. They push you, but are also mindful that each person does what they can do. For me, it seems like it's just right. read more

Love this studio! All the classes I've taken here have been great. Some are more challenging than others so be mindful as you make your reservation the level 2 and 2-3 classes are much more intense than the all levels classes. Giggi's classes are always intense and she brings great energy, and I LOVE Grace's class... so much core work! Great Studio read more

My friend recommended this studio to me and said I just had to try a class with Grace. When we got there tonight there was a new teacher named Danny Valle, and he was FANTASTIC! I am very new to the reformer machines and he kept an eye on my form through out the class and corrected me when he needed to. The only other place I had tried pilates was Pilates Plus where the teacher didn't give me any direction and I was so intimidated I never went back. Thank you for introducing me to a workout that works for me, I'm now obsessed! read more

Grace Anatomy is the place to be if you want a great pilates class! Clean, organized and with an experienced, friendly staff. The instructors give you many pointers to prevent injury and insure that you get a great work out.! The classes are small, the location is great, and the environment relaxing. Can't wait for my next class! read more

This is a really great place for Pilates Reformer Classes. They really take the time to show you how to do all the exercises correctly. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to try Pilates. The instructors are very friendly patient and helpful. read more

Love this place! Classes feel very personal and the instructors are great. I highly recommend giving it a try.

I came to Grace after months of physical therapy for a running injury. As I was new to Pilates, and still recovering, I initially took privates with Grace herself. SHE TRANSFORMED MY BODY!!!!!! I cannot say enough about the good care she took with me; she understood my injury and what I needed to do in order to return to running. And in the process, I lost inches in my mid section, gained strength throughout my body and toned all over.... I then began taking group classes and I'm just as happy with the instruction. Each instructor has his/her own style, all are amazing, and there is definitely someone for everyone. Personally, I am addicted to the Cardio Tramp classes: a trampoline board goes at the bottom of your reformer, and then you jump... just imagine jumping while doing arm weights, to awesome music, for 30 minutes straight. You'll sweat like crazy and get an unrivaled cardio & full body work out. Because it's a small, individually owned studio you get to know the instructors and they you. Even in classes, they will let you know what you can do differently if you have an injury or just a a bad day. And best of all, everyone is really friendly and supportive of one another. read more
