This review is long overdue, I just love Formation. I've hit over 165 classes here because I'm…read moreconstantly challenged, having a little fun, and seeing results. I've tried so many of the instructors, and everyone has their own vibe. Some are harder than others. It's really cool to figure out your favorites, and switch things up when needed etc. Unlike many other Lagree Studios, when you walk in, you enter a lobby first..Not just boom there's the machines and a cubbyhole for your things. There's a full lobby with seating and a separate room to place your items. The machines are further in the back in another room, which disconnects you from the entry door and windows. So when you're in session, you're not distracted by cars driving by or anything like that. I also really like the ambience. I prefer dark over squeaky bright studios. When it's time for class, the music is blaring and you lock tf in. The instructors are good at correcting your form when needed, and you can tell that the studio has a great deal of respect for Lagree. I've heard people complain about the parking, and I totally get it. But typically if you arrive 10 to 15 minutes before your class, parking shouldn't be an issue. Ive only ever had an issue when I'm running a little late. You can have private events here too which is nice. I celebrated my birthday and it was cute and something different to do with my friends.

There are plenty of Lagree studios in the area, but I chose Formation after reading reviews -- and…read moreI'm glad I did. Everything I found in my research was true: Formation is the most technical, structured, and form‑focused studio around. The instructors pay close attention to your form and give real corrections so you get the most out of every movement. They're not the type of studio that hands you matcha for showing up, but they do run challenges and reward you for hitting milestones, which feels much more meaningful. The space isn't bougie; it's clean, functional, and designed for training, not selfies. It creates an environment where utility comes first, and you never feel intimidated walking in.

I attended a private session here with a group of my friends, and we had such a great time! Our…read moretrainer was incredibly upbeat, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable, regardless of their fitness level. I already work out regularly and primarily do weight training, but this class challenged me in a completely different way. It was a fantastic workout! I'm definitely feeling it today (in the best way ), so be prepared to be sore afterward. The class was 45 minutes long, and honestly, it flew by. The energy stayed high the entire time, and the trainer kept everyone motivated and engaged. I had a lot of fun and would absolutely come back for another class in the future. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, challenging workout with great instructors!

They've all been friendly and welcoming, which makes the environment feel approachable whether you're new or experienced. Pros: + 14 megaformers + free parking in the rear, plus street parking + on ClassPass + clean & minimalist Cons - Mirrors are available, but the machines front and back aren't directly facing them. You will have to turn your head to the left or right to check form.

Lagreeology is a great introduction to Lagree! I'm familiar with Pilates classes, but I had never…read moretried Lagree before, so I came in not really knowing what to expect. Our instructor was Adam, and his class was challenging, fun, and very beginner-friendly. It was a full class with a few first-timers, but I had no trouble following his cues and demonstrations. He explained everything clearly and made the class easy to follow even for someone completely new to Lagree. Everyone was struggling together, haha! They have classes throughout the day. So finding a class time that works for you won't be an issue. After this class, I went around and tried several other Lagree studios in the area, and I have to say, Lagreeology ended up being the most fun experience for me. I really enjoyed the class and would definitely come back! This part of Arcadia isn't very busy, so parking was easy to find, I did street parking at the front. Check their website for promos.

I was in the area looking for a pilates studio and Lagreeology came up on my search.. They have a…read moreNew Client BOGO Special - 2 classes for $38, but on the day of my visit there was a better Back 2 School Lagree Special - 2 classes for $36. I was able to book on the MindBody app. On the confirmation email, they ask that you arrive 15 min early for your first class, grip socks required, towel and water recommended There is street parking in the area or an underground parking garage, in which I liked neither options. The parking garage entrance looked deep so I parked on the street, but I didn't feel safe. It was a busy street and people parked poorly. The studio entrance is not the front door, the sign asks you to go from the side door. There was a hostess our front while an instructor taught the class. She gave me a tour of the their other services... but they had cyro on their menu and they no longer do cryo at this location. How hard is it to cross off the menu? The cubbies are inside the studio space. There are 14 lagree reformer beds. And of all days I went, it had to be when their AC was broken. Sigh... Unfortunately it was quick into my time here that I knew I wasn't coming back. The instructor started off asking if anyone minds if she touches them, raise their hand. I don' mind adjustments. Then she asks if anyone has injuries... I RAISED MY HAND AND SHE JUST MOVES ON... at that point WHY EVEN ASK?!?!?! This was a foreshadow of a really annoying class. So on this lagree pilates reformer bed, they have numbers, which at first I felt like a good thing... until I experienced it. The instructor was really adamant that we put our hand or feet on specific numbers... here is the issue... everyone's limbs have different lengths and what's good for one person might not be good for another. I also don't like the way she gave direction. For instance she'll be like spring change... so the natural instinct is to change the springs... but she'll be like... in 5...4...3...2...1... In any other studios they usually tell you... I'm BLANK seconds we will do XYZ, but when you give the direction first people will instinctively transition to the next move. So it was a rigorous work out... but I just didn't enjoy it. I wanted to like it so badly... especially when I had already paid for 2 classes. Basically I don't like it so much I don't want to go back for the 2nd class I already paid for. Potentially good work out but not for me. Pilates normally relaxes me but I was so stressed out with the parking and the instructor.

I've had such a great experience at Lagree! I started taking classes with Maddie (Maddalena) and…read morehave continued coming back because of her. She's incredibly motivating, knowledgeable, and creates such a fun, welcoming environment while still giving you an amazing workout. The front desk team is always so kind and welcoming, and Jasmine deserves a special shoutout. She always greets everyone with a smile and makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The studio has amazing energy, great music, and such a fun vibe that makes every class something to look forward to. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a challenging workout in a positive and encouraging atmosphere!

My bestie goes here for Lagree, and I was excited to finally check it out after seeing it on…read moreClassPass. I went on a Sunday afternoon, and the class was completely full! Cindy was our instructor. The class itself was okay, but I found some of the instructions difficult to follow. Since it was a full class and Cindy was not using a Megaformer for her demonstrations, it was also challenging to see the movements clearly. I think the transitions between exercises could have been smoother as well. The biggest issue for me was the studio layout. When you enter, you walk directly into the classroom, with storage cubes and the sign-in area along the side. There is no separate lobby or waiting area, so you either wait outside or awkwardly stand inside while the previous class finishes, cleans up, and leaves. The bathroom is located in the back, which makes things a little inconvenient if you arrive early and need to change or use the restroom before class. You still have to wait for the previous class to clear out before you can comfortably get settled. I wonder if having clients enter through the back could help make the transition between classes feel less awkward. The studio itself also felt a bit cramped. When the class is full, it can be difficult to see the instructor's demonstrations, and taller clients may have trouble fully extending their limbs without getting too close to the walls or other equipment. If you're taller, try to come earlier and pick a megaformer on the right wall side for more space. This is an issue they are aware of and told us during class. Pros: * Large, clean restroom * Eucalyptus-scented towels at the end of class * The studio smells amazing, like eucalyptus! * Easy parking, there is a free parking structure next to the studio. Overall, I think the studio layout and class setup could use some improvements, especially when the class is full. I appreciate the eucalyptus touches and the clean facilities, but having more space and better visibility of the demonstrations would make for a more comfortable experience.

Parking can be tricky, but usually you can find neighborhood spots.

You can find free parking on the street or nearby lot. I bought their 5-class intro offer and I got to try out classes taught by different instructors and different levels. Their staff and instructors are very nice. The studio is very cosy and warm. It is spacious and has natural light. I also like that they have three levels to choose from: beginners (1), intermediate (1.5) and advanced (2), where I found most other pilates studios only have beginners and advanced. There's also a head spa and a few cafe on the same street, where you can check out after the pilates.

I tried their heated sculpt with Steph and sculpt with Grace, and both classes and instructors were phenomenal. They were challenging, spicy and a workout! Exactly the type of movement that I needed to incorporate into my day. Their mat Pilates classes are intimate (about 7) with mats and a variety of bands, hand weights and ankle weights for you to amplify each movement. After each class, wipes are provided to wipe down what you have used. Cubbies are available downstairs while classes are upstairs. They even offer hair ties for days you forget yours. Their space is incredibly warm and aesthetically pleasing, perhaps perfect for when you're waiting for the next class. Lastly, parking. There's no lot, but street parking is available on Orange Grove or in the neighborhood.

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.

I attended while they were in their transition period. However, I believe their foundation and class format is same. I did pretty much all the classes as a regular with Kayla- yoga flows, sculpts, hot yogas, sound baths, and the musical meditations where they bring in live performers to play instruments, Kayla singing! The community is fabulous. I felt comfortable and welcomed by Kayla, the owner. I love all her classes. She does the best guided meditations. Music is also fantastic and instrumental which is projected from a speaker and travels through the room great. Music and guided meditation transitions are fabulous! During the cooldown, you are delivered cool towels to put on your face or wherever on your body. Experience- From going through very stressful times, this yoga studio was my place to escape and I left every class more healed, and positive. It was a drive to get here from my location but worth it. I can't find any yoga studio like this. They are one of a kind. It's family oriented, friendly, welcoming, small-medium sized. Every time I came I was greeted by the coolest girl at the front desk- I think her name is Jordan, J name like me! She was helping out with the studio:) (Sorry we lost in touch, reach out to me if you ever see this to get some coffee! I looked out for you many times at the desk/ yoga classes but never saw you again!) Setting- The studio had a dojo, oasis feel to it. When you enter the most commonly used room, there is usually candle lights on the floor and beautiful projector lights like speckled stars on the ceiling. I love it. I LOVE the steam room. I could stay there for hours. Hygiene is on point. 100/100 recommend. I miss this studio and wish to come back though I'm not in the area long enough. The classes and coming to them helped me go through a low point in my life. I thanked myself every time I came.
