This place is just so cute . truly a little hidden, fun, hipster Pilates gem. From the moment you…read morewalk in, the space feels airy and welcoming with an open layout and plants everywhere, which gives it such a calming but still trendy vibe. It doesn't feel cramped just really well thought out and aesthetically pleasing. Instructor Simmone was amazing. She was clear, motivating, and made the class feel both challenging and enjoyable. You can tell she really knows what she's doing and is intentional about the flow of the workout. I booked the class through ClassPass and had a great experience overall. The only downside is parking , street parking is the only option and it can be a bit annoying, so definitely plan to arrive early to give yourself time. Also it was 83 out and the space was open to the outside so it was fine . I'm not sure if it has central AC or not , but I probably wouldn't come back on a hot day .

My daughters have thrived throughout their time there--the creativity in ALL styles of dance, from tap to jazz and hip hop. There have been some hurdles in the past couple of years, especially after the change in ownership. The quality is still fantastic and the new owners are doing a great of of providing more performance opportunities to dancers of all levels.

Pros ~ Great instructors…read more~ Good small class size (4 reformers) ~ Nice reformers and equipment ~ Good location in Belmont Shore (parking can be annoying but it's never taken more than a few minutes) ~ 10 class package options to use on your own schedule Cons ~ Difficult to get in contact with a human (no one answers the phone, and by text/email it takes ~48hr for them to reply, despite their voice message saying they'll respond immediately) ~ classes only 50 min (vs 55) Still 5 stars! Would recommend

I'm happy to say the studio's change in management has been obvious and has made a significant, positive impact. The fact that she personally reached out to discuss my feedback really says a lot.

What can I say about the place that has been my second home since September 2018?…read more I moved to Long Beach in June 2018 and found this special little place right here on Yelp when I was trying to create my own identity outside of being just my boyfriend's girlfriend. To say the Annex has changed mine and my now husband's life would drastically downplay it. There is no where else I would gladly be at at 6:30am except the Annex. Caitlin Hogan has created one of the most inclusive places I've ever spent my time. On days I don't show up for myself, my coach Nic texts me to check in. He is kind, warm, brilliant and loves to make fun of me as much as I love to make fun of him. On days I do show up I know I will always be pushed to be the best version of me by my coaches and classmates, but understood if I just want to sit in silence that day if I'm hurt or going through something. Caitlin also offers meal coaching which has helped get my husband and I in the best shape of our lives (he's lost and kept off 40lbs) and she has shown us the tools on how to continue to take care of ourselves outside of the gym. Caitlin also has taught me how to delay dying with weekly Kinstretch classes. It's a movement enhancement system that develops maximum body control, flexibility and usable range of motion. My body thanks me often when I go regularly and gets mad at me when I take too long of a delay. If you are looking for a new place to work out, look no further. I do warn you, we'll hold you accountable and also want to be your friend, and even hang outside the gym if you're down.

A friend told me about a pretty cool Filipino Ka-munity healing event hosted here -- so I had to…read morecheck it out. Here's my experience. AMBIANCE: The studio is located in a lively plaza with plenty of eateries nearby (The Hangar) and other cool spots nearby, so depending on the day it can feel eventful or chill. The space itself is simple and functional -- one main room that fits around 30 people comfortably. It has the essentials: storage space for your belongings, a restroom, and a clean, new dance floor that feels great to move on. The large windows bring in good natural light, which adds to the welcoming vibe. PARKING: Mostly street parking and timed parking (2 hours). Plan ahead if there's a community event happening in the plaza or if nearby spots are busy. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Jazlynn is awesome -- friendly, talented, and clearly a strong community builder. You can feel her passion in the space. The co-facilitators for the event (Jesse and Anne) were also great -- supportive, engaging, and aligned with the healing-centered vibe of the gathering. TL;DR OVERALL 5 Stars. Awesome experience. A good range of dance styles and community-centered events at reasonable prices. Nothing flashy -- just solid instructors, a clean and danceable space, and a genuinely welcoming community. That's really all you need. Until next time! ADVICE * Follow their social media for upcoming events. * Bring water and come ready to move (and connect).

The teachers, coaches, and studio owner are not only talented, but they truly care about the kids--building their confidence while helping them grow as dancers.
