Irina's attention to correct positioning and movement produces real results. I have become stronger overall, mindful of how I move, and my trouble spots have improved or resolved. Irina is a true professional who holds her clients and herself to a high standard. I cannot imagine a better experience. read more

This is the best Pilates studio I have ever been to. The owner, Irina, always listens to me and gives me exercises based on body area that I want to work on. I'm very glad that I found this Pilates studio and I highly recommend it to anybody who is looking for one! Oh! I forgot to mention, the atmosphere is very positive, it feels like home! 5 stars! read more

Irina is definitely one of the best Pilates instructors! She's experienced, patient, and detail-oriented. Her price is also very reasonable! I have been doing Pilates here since June, and I have seen significant improvements on my posture, flexibility, and core strength. Coming here three times a week allows me to take a break from busy work, clear my mind, and gain energy and inner serenity. In addition, since I have back pains related to long-time use of laptop, Irina designed a series of practices to open my shoulders and improve my scapular stabilization. My back pain has been alleviated a lot these days. Again, definitely love this place and encourage everyone who wants to try out Pilates to come! read more

See all

It's the best Pilates studio with the best coach Irina . Irina is a very professional and a very patient with a good sense of humor. Time flies very quick there. I recommend everyone who wants to strengthen their spine and get more lean and strong . read more

I love this studio and Irina. Been going for few months already. I choose private classes with Irina be amuse I had not good experience going to group classes where I ended up with injury. Irina is very knowledgeable and experienced! I started feeling the results right after few sessions!!! Her studio is very clean, she has all kind of up to date equipment and it's very to schedule an appointment with her! Thank you so much Irina! You're definitely the best pilates instructor in Beverly Hills!!! Cant wait to see you soon!!! read more

I wish I can give this place 10 stars! Pilates I think is the best working out ever! I've been training w personal trainer in a gym. I liked it but it it will take me almost half a day to get back my energy again. After Pilates I'm even more energized and feeling great! I guess it's because you're breathing and working on every muscle w slow motions. The facility is beautiful, clean ,organized, not crowded. Plenty of street parking or there's public parking in walking distance Irina is super professional, attentive for details, very knowledgeable and the SWEETEST person ever! I've had 5 sessions and started seeing changes in your body immediately. Your posture changes, you walk w grace and became more feminine!!! I'm the biggest fan of IB Pilates now! Highly recommended!!! read more

I've known Irina for very long time but it took me a while to start doing Pilates with her. Irina is very knowledgeable, and makes every workout pretty challenging. I started doing it once a week at first , then two times a week, and now it's three times a week. If you think Pilates is an easy workout ... it only looks easy... but it's so much fun and very effective. Try it with Irina, owner of IB Pilates and you will never regret it. read more

My apologies...this review went much longer than I suspected possible. Who knew there is a 5000-charater limit! So, the first paragraph is actually excerpted from the tail end of the full review. I moved it to the top so you don't need to scroll to get the message. Irina sees how you perform and she provides targeted feedback to perform better. She adopts my sessions to pace with my ability so I was never discouraged and always felt...maybe naively...I was making great progress. She recognized my ability to concentrate on any given morning and varied the exercises accordingly. And...most importantly for the reasons I looked to Pilates originally...she produced results. After the first six months with the first studio, I was about to quit. After six months with Irina, I discovered I needed to buy size 10 jeans and skirts instead of the familiar 12's. FULL REVIEW.... I used to think sushi was nasty and disinterest best characterized my attitude. Later...there is always a later in these kinda stories...I joined a dear friend at a really nice sushi place. I suspended my contempt if only because the occasion was entirely not mine. Yes...it was amazing! It was then I wasn't contemptuous of sushi...only bad sushi. Good sushi is amazing and great sushi is intoxicating. Totally learned my lesson....Puh-leeze! After this epiphany, I considered investing time, effort, and care in my physical health....er...appearance. I decided I would adopt a routine that would 1) produce positive improvements in my health (visible) and B) support the desire to integrate this practice as part of my normal life-style. For whatever reason, and whatever influences my friends might have offered, I opted to explore Pilates. So how did I select my first Pilates instructor? Of course!!! I picked the place closest to my house. Sheesh! It was six months before I confessed Pilates was not what I hoped. It didn't seem to provide the physical impact I imagined and I didn't seem to be developing the connection I thought necessary to sustain the practice. Fortunately for me, a dear friend...different one...mocked me for my disappointment with this new 'bad' sushi and insisted I visit Irina before I abandoned Pilates all together. Wow! The equipment is the same...the terms are the same...and the experience was entirely different. The only other thing different was the presence of gifted instructor who doesn't merely understand how to perform Pilates but also understands the various motives and barriers each of us has to learning that skill. Irina bridges the gap between the desire and ability to perform. What distinguishes Irina from the average instructor is her ability to measure the sessions with my ability...my ability in general and also my ability for the day. No matter my mood or energy, I would experience the same fatigue and exhilaration of the targeted work out I completed that morning. On more than one day, I was embarrassed at the Coffee Bean counter and realized my butt was quivering still quivering. The fatigue is not exhaustion...it is the product of utilizing muscles so long neglected. It is not endurance from exhaustion but a challenge for precision. And...honestly...it is absurd to imagine that quality exists in the studio closest to your home. That quality exists in a few instructors. Irina sees how you perform and she provides targeted feedback to perform better. She adopts my sessions to pace with my ability so I was never discouraged and always felt...maybe naively...I was making great progress. She recognized my ability to concentrate on any given morning and varied the exercises accordingly. And...most importantly for the reasons I looked to Pilates originally...she produced results. After the first six months with the first studio, I was about to quit. After six months with Irina, I discovered I needed to buy size 10 jeans and skirts instead of the familiar 12's. Don't get too excited. I wasn't shedding pounds. I know! I was confused too. How is that possible? Well, it was my posture that changed!! Seriously! My shoulders where relaxed and squared and my slouching was reduced so my tummy was now pulled firmly away from my waste. It was that day that I realized Pilates was no an integral part of my life style. I am not suggesting Irina will make you drop a size. And I'm not suggesting Irina will magically transform your appearance. I AM suggesting that if you are considering Pilates as a possible exercise or if you are considering stopping your current Pilates routine...you should also seriously consider who is helping you achieve the goals you originally imagined. I've been working with every week since 2008 after nearly quitting altogether. Like my dear friend did for me...I ask you please consider visiting Irina before you form any final opinion. Suspend your judgment on bad sushi until you have the experience of amazing sushi. Then...judge all you wish. read more

I have been working with Irina for almost 1 year now and have never felt better or been more in shape. She WORKS you out and you really get your money's worth and great results if you keep going! She is so sweet and fun to talk to but definitely tough and pushes you to work, but tailors the various sessions to what works best for your body type. I really appreciate the attention to detail she gives, because it just helps me focus on my core strength and posture so that I'm getting the most benefits. I just feel great after each workout and it's the first studio that I've really wanted to stick with because I'm really happy with her training! ...oh and it doesn't hurt that my fiancee has mentioned how nice my booty has been looking lately since I've regularly been going to Irina! Hehe read more

My favorite place to be! Irina is THE BEST instructor you can only wish for! My first impression of her was "where have you been all my life?!" She possesses not only deep knowledge and decade of experience on Pilates, but also has a serious athlete background. Positive energy, modern yet sophisticated surroundings. Just love it! read more

I have been doing Pilates for more than a decade. After moving to L.A. I tried a number of different studios before finding Irina. She is absolutely amazing, knowledgeable and expert and gives me the best workout I have ever had. I always leave our sessions feeling great, energized and strong.Her studio is immaculate , the environment soothing and pleasant.There are plenty of studios and plenty of teachers in L.A. but none are half as good . No matter what your age or ability level I can highly recommend Irina and IB Pilates. read more

Irina is the answer! If you want real progress, look no further. I've been doing Pilates with Irina for a while now and I've never felt better with my body. My mom started taking classes with her first and I saw her amazing transformation so I decided to try too. Irina is definitely not those sweet-gentle-like-your-best-friend type of instructor. She is STRICT! But that only means she takes your safety and development VERY seriously. I sometimes see other students' sessions with their Pilates instructors in other gyms and studios and I could tell they are not doing the right form but sadly those instructors don't say anything to correct them. In Irina's session, she will never allow me to do movement in wrong forms. I have had personal trainers before and to my surprise, Pilates classes with Irina are much more effective in toning my body and losing fat than lifting weights with those trainers. It's less painful too hahaha. Moreover, Irina will help you understand your body. I'd never been in touch with my body in this level before I met her. Thank you Irina! Xoxo read more

Now days there are as many Pilate studios as there are nail salons... How do you know which one to choose.... I have met Irina at the gym in West Hollywood many years ago, after taking a few classes I knew that she will be in my life for a long time. Irina is professional, very knowledgable and having back ground in gymnastics and acrobatics she was methodically working on getting me stronger. She worked on my core at first, always asked me to come 15 early to do cardio. Always pointed out that safety is first and therefore getting all the big mussels ready was the key. I worked w her before and during pregnancy. Felt great and it helped my recovery after giving birth. Irina cares, she really works w your body and while being gentle, she is very strict and tough. I think that being strict and discipline w your workout routine is very important. I highly recommend to work w Irina in her beautiful and immaculately clean studio. read more

I love this studio, the location is perfect, the studio has all the tools you need and everything is in pristine condition always. I love the energy of the room which is only heightened by the amazing owner Irina. On top of it all, Irina is the best pilates instructor I have ever worked with. She is warm but tough and gets you the results you need! I cannot recommend her or her studio enough. Thanks Irina and IB Pilates for helping me bring back my health and general well being! read more

Irina is the perfect balance of fun and serious. She is an amazing person and is an excellent instructor. I have gone to other studios and had other private instructors...she is the best! Pilates is her passion and it shows. I worked out with her before, during and after my pregnancy and she was always able to adapt to my needs. I always feel amazing when I leave and look forward to going to each session. The studio is perfectly clean and very private. She has all the equipment you could need and always is keeping our sessions fun and interesting. The location is ideal and street parking is never a problem. read more

Amazing place !!! Amazing workout !!! Great experience all around !! Don't think twice, call and schedule appointment !!! read more

I was asked by my good friend to join him in a private session with Irina! OMG, what an amazing workout. I've never done private sessions before, only group classes. And I know it's more costly but the workout is so much better than doing a group class because you get one on one training. And technique and Care is sooo important. After an hour with Irina, i could tell that with her guidance and a few weeks at this, I'd have incredible core strength and of course the booty that I've always wanted. She's incredible, be sure to go to Irina as soon as you can. read more

I've been doing pilates with Irina for a few months and I've never seen the place better than IB Pilates studio. I've tried a lot of places, but this place is amazing. Irina is highly professional, very strict, and at the same time she is so nice and friendly, with the personal approach to each individual. The studio is very good equipped. She knows exactly what my body needs, gives always practical daily recommendations. A short period of practicing has completely changed my body and I'm very satisfied in my investments. Thank you, Irina for your excellent service, I'm so happy that I found you! Highly recommend this place! read more

This is a great studio. This studio is clean, instructor cares and really knows how to teach. Great way to learn Pilates and get in shape. Highly recommend. Best studio! read more

I've taken Pilates for more than 10 years. IB Pilates Studio is one of the best studios I have been to. Irina Brodskaya is excellent and well trained. The studio is amazing. I highly recommend! Can't say enough. read more

I have lupus and started seeing Irina a few months ago. She is remarkable! Irina has helped me get stronger and minimize my pain, she has changed my life! read more

I had tried Pilates a few years ago and didn't think it was for me. Then I met Irina. In the last year she has helped me become stronger, leaner and have more energy. I'm a figure skater and prone to all sorts of muscle strains and injuries, so Irina tailors my sessions to strengthen my weakest areas and makes sure not to overdevelop the others. I had some chronic skating-induced knee pain that was gone after about a month of Pilates, and my core (in which I thought I might not actually have any muscles) has completely changed. Recently I had my muscle density tested and the tester said "whatever it is you are doing, keep doing it," since I had a much higher percentage of muscle than average for my age - I owe that to Irina. She's tough, and she doesn't let you get away with putting in minimal effort, but that is why she's successful. The sessions are never boring and she varies the routines so you get to learn something new all the time. I always have fun chatting with Irina and I go home feeling great. read more

Amazing instructor. She is the best. Very attentive and very sincere. I never really work out and she Is Very Patient to guide me slowly.

I am not very atletic person, but I was looking to find a Pilate studio to get in better shape and straitened my core. Friend of my recomended Irina and her studio. OMG, she is absolutely amazing, she is listening what you want to achieve and delivers plan and special program to accommodate your needs. Irina is very passionate in what she do and results are fantastic. She is very tough , but this is exactly what you need when your goal is to get in best shape. Studio is very clean and equipped with different all that you need for great workout. Highly recommend Irina. She is professional and delivers results. Truly happy I found her. Thank you so much Irina. read more

Irina is hands down the epitome of the perfect Pilates instructor and the reason I love Pilates more than ever. Irina brings her kind, friendly and positive energy to each and every session. I have taken various private Pilates sessions but none of the other instructors were able to give me the full body experience I get from my sessions with Irina. I recommend everyone interested in Pilates, beginner or advanced to take a session with Irina. It's an experience I encourage everyone who wants to feel good about their body to try! read more

IRINA IS AMAZING!!! I found her through yelp & read all her great reviews so I set up a consultation with her. I could not be happier! She's truly wonderful :) She is super professional, extremely knowledgable, and caters to each client differently & accordingly. I'm not big on working out & hate going to the gym, but I always look forward to Pilates. Her studio is extremely well maintained, clean, and she has all the best machines. Don't get me wrong - she's tough! She'll push you to perform your best and watches you with a close eye to make sure you're doing all the exercises correctly. She's the opposite of lazy - will spend every second with you in each session to make sure you're getting the best work out. I've been with her for close to a year now & I've seen amazing results! That girl knows what she's doing!!! She's worth every penny and more! She has helped me tremendously with my back problems & posture - I can never thank her enough & cannot recommend her highly enough! SHE'S THE BEST :) read more

For some reason my original review was moved to the "not recommended" category. I believe it is Yelp trying to control the consuming public. IB Pilates studio continues to be THE BEST Pilates experience I have ever had. Irina not only listens to her clients I think she can actually listen to our bodies! I wouldn't consider going elsewhere and needed to Set the record straight. read more
