Have to take a class with Reese, her classes will definitely work up a sweat and keep you on your toes. Be ready for those Pilates shakes! Overall a great Pilates studio if you want a good workout!

The equipment is well-maintained, and the class flows smoothly without interruptions, which makes it easy to stay fully engaged. The coach's cueing was very detailed, making even new movements easy to understand. What stood out most was how clearly they guided where to engage and use your strength, which really elevated the quality of the workout. Instead of just using brute force, it felt more about control, and you can definitely feel the targeted muscles afterward. The difficulty level isn't exactly easy, but it's also not overwhelming. You can adjust based on your own condition, which I appreciated. You'll definitely break a sweat and feel your core working the entire time!

Hot Pilates is hands down one of the best workout studios I've ever been to! The facility is…read morebeautiful, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and even the parking situation is surprisingly easy -- which already feels like a win in LA. But the real standout is Gabriel Guadalajara and his Killer Core class. WOW. Gabriel is phenomenal. Every single class is thoughtfully designed with a unique combination of exercises that challenge not just your core, but your entire body. Be prepared to sweat... a lot in the best way possible. What I love most is how Gabriel brings together mind, body, and spirit during the 50-minute workout. It's more than just fitness -- it's empowering. He somehow pushes you past your limits while making you tap into this inner warrior spirit you didn't even know you had. The energy in the room is unmatched, and you leave feeling stronger physically and mentally every time. If you're looking for a workout that will challenge you, inspire you, and leave your core on fire, I strongly recommend taking Gabriel's Killer Core class. You absolutely will not regret it!

The music playlist was on point and all materials are provided except for grip socks. After your hot mat workout you get a cold towel with essential oils on it, omg I was reborn.

In addition showers are provided. 10/10 would recommend.

Shout out to Monty he was simply amazing at the front desk which is one of the reason why we came in because of him we felt welcomed and excited to try out the studio. Bianca was the sweetest instructor! But get ready for a killer work out that leaves you wanting to come back for more :)

Came here for a class with a friend! I've been doing lagree for about two years (so not a pro), and…read morewanted to try a new studio. The instructor was in training so this is not representative of all classes - fyi. The workout was a bit clunky at times in terms of cuing and I wish there were shoutout for more modifications (advancements vs regressions), but overall challenging with good breaks. The music was definitely energizing, the space was spacious and bright. There are two private changing areas, cubbies, water dispenser and a k cup machine for complimentary coffee, which is a nice touch! Also, huge perk that there's free two hour parking at ROWDTLA! All in all a great and challenging workout- only comment is for the cuing and mods. :)

If you're looking for a studio with a challenging workout, easy parking, and caring instructors…read morethis is it! Everything from the instruction, the location, and the equipment reflects that the team here really cares about providing the best quality possible at an accessible price point. The workout combines cardio pushes, strength training, and emphasis on form. The end result is a well rounded full body workout. I love that they don't just emphasize the lower body but work out the upper body as well. There's also a lite version that is slower and emphasizes mobility, stretching, and breath. My only complaint is that I wish they offered this class on the weekends. I really like that class but the class times are a little inconvenient for me. For the instructors, I can't say enough good things about them. They are super patient and invested in giving you the best workout at your level. They really create a welcoming environment here by checking in and empowering you throughout the workout. Each instructor has their own style and playlist so it never gets repetitive. The studio itself is clean,spacious, and conveniently located. Parking is free and easy. The reformers are appropriately spaced out. The handle bars have removable liners for easy cleaning. They offer plenty of wipes after class for cleaning. There are complimentary towels and other small touches to make sure you're comfortable in your workout. There's also a huge mirror in the front to help you with form. Lastly, this class is hard but doable. Plan to arrive a little earlier to stretch. Bring plenty of water to hydrate because you will sweat in class! However after you're done, you'll feel very empowered and accomplished.

(I was…read morenot able to find the Yelp page for their new location so I'll write it here) They moved to Western and 4th (2nd floor where Atelier by Tiffany hair salon is). I was following Movement Pilates on Instagram and saw that they were offering a promotional rate. After a few DM's, I decided to give it a try and signed up. I made it pretty clear that I didn't mind a different instructor the first couple of sessions since it would give me an opportunity to find an instructor that works for me. After a couple of different instructors, I WAS finally able to find someone that I liked. I won't name the others, but must point out that LIWON was the best instructor out of all of them. She is extremely professional and you can tell that she's experienced and highly qualified. She really tries to help you use the correct muscles and will push you enough to be motivated, and not discouraged. She doesn't get distracted and will focus on you and your posture while giving you adjustments as needed. Compared to some other pilates classes I've taken in the past, the approach they take is slower paced. This can be good/bad, depending on what you're looking for. If you want to focus on having a better posture during your workouts, I would highly recommend Movement Pilates. The studio itself is very well managed and clean. You can tell they do a great job maintaining the place. I also love the fact that they send you a reminder text before your classes, this is soooo helpful :) *PARKING: validated valet $2 or residential street parking a few blocks away.
