I started working w Julianna 6months ago and Wow! Does the difference show!! She is super knowledgeable and always has different parts of my body to work on. I also work out with Monica who is equally challenging in my workouts & very knowledgeable. It brightens my day to go to this studio & work with these talented ladies. I wish I could give them 6 stars. If you are looking for a Studio, this is the one to go too!! read more

Physical Artistry - Barre Classes Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I recently went to a semi-private Pilates class taught by Julianna. I was a bit skeptical as my usual workouts involve weight lifting, cycle, and kick boxing. I was surprised that within minutes I was sweating and my muscles were shaking. The first 30 minutes were exercises with the bar, the last 30 on the reformer. I can say I am definitely converted and now hooked on this workout. After talking with a few of the instructors at Physical Artistry it is clear they tailor their workouts for their customers. If you are looking for cardio they will incorporate that into work with the bar. If you strictly want core training on the reformer they can work with that too. The studio itself was really nice, located in a quaint building just off Wilshire in Santa Monica. They have separate rooms with all the Pilates machines plus a room with a bar and private rooms for massage. read more

The Pico location is better for me and many other students: better parking & beautiful warm lighting. Kelsey & Juliana & Chanda get me sore without any neck agony. Chanda uses "table top" as a verb, which makes me smile! ************ I'm panting, perspiring and my side ribs (lats) are s little sore: always good signs. What a tough workout! This was my first visit to Physical Artistry and it will not be my last. Like the owner of my home studio, Sandpiper Pilates, Danielle is trained in the Stott style of Pilates which straddles the canyon between Classical Pilates (just the way Joe developed and taught 'em in his NYC studio) and modern physical therapy which incorporates decades of knowledge about muscles, joint, mobility and overall health. I've studied with just about all teachers: BASI, Polestar, Classical, West Coast and Stott. Stott ensures me both a strenuous workout AND safety. Danielle has a real gift for teaching. One of my classmates was a Class Pass newcomer to Pilates. To her, I say: Welcome! You lucked out. Seeing her instruct our young newbie while still giving her more experienced students a challenge was wonderful. She was serious about precise form, but still created a light hearted mood. No persnickety superior attitude at all, which is nice. Her equipment was hybrid Stott and Balanced Body, which I also like. And I got a new variation on footwork: she did two kinds of pulses: up toward the top of the range of motion and down toward the bar. Novelty is so nice when my thighs are howling. Six stars. THREE students only and I feel ready to face the day. read more

I've been going to Physical Artistry for a few years now and ALWAYS LOVE the small group class of three and all the instructors that I teach the classes. Kelsey, is my steady instructor, and she teaches the classes in a variety of ways that makes me feel it and makes my body look good! Honestly, they are BEST instructors in town that teach pilates the right way which makes a difference to my body! read more

I really like this place, I've never done pilates, yoga or any of these workouts and the crew at PA has really shepherded this dude into a new world of strength, flexibility and wellbeing. I don't feel the same injuries,aches and pains from tennis and cycling. Which keeps me more fit and healthy with little down time. It did feel odd initially but the girls are really friendly and professional. Kelsey G, Monica and Julianna push me hard enough and understand how to work a guy out. I've dumped my trainer and the endless lunges and squats for the reformer. read more

I've been doing pilates for years but I never fail to get a complete and challenging workout here every session. It's a warm, friendly atmosphere and the instructors are knowledgeable and take great care to consider the needs of each individual client. I appreciate that each workout is different so there's little risk of getting bored or complacent. I look forward to working out! read more

I started working out with Julianna years ago. She has done wonders for my flexibility and core strength. Her studio in Santa Monica is a great, clean and bright environment to workout in. She is an amazing, caring, knowledgeable and fun instructor. read more

This place is not for the lazy! Juliana makes you work hard and you will feel it the next day-- in a good way of course! The classes are different each time so it never gets boring and I am always encouraged to try new things and push myself. Though the workouts are rigorous, the environment is peaceful and I always leave feeling refreshed. I love how the classes combine yoga and ballet into the pilates routine. Given the location, one may think parking is an issue, but it's not. You can park on Yale the same block as the studio for one hour or just south of Wilshire for two. I've never had a problem finding a spot. It's also easily accessible via the Samo Big Blue Bus. read more

I have gotten so much stronger and in much better shape from working out at Physical Artistry. I see Julianna and Shannda and love them both. They really make you work out and understand exactly what you need as an individual. I feel so much better after each workout! Such a great space too! I highly recommend Physical Artistry if you are looking to get stronger, more flexible and in all around better shape. read more

Julianna it is so good to be back. You are better than ever!! You are an exceptional instructor - a combination of an intense workout, tempered with humor, grace and soul. I love how centered and energized I feel after my class - ready to embrace the day! The studio is clean, bright and airy - a great place to exercise and feel good! read more

The instructor for the reformer/barre class was super sweet, peppy, and instructive. I loved her. I thought the barre was a little underwhelming but it did the trick. We did abs, butt, and leg work in a short twenty-minute segment. The reformer part focused more on upper body exercises. I found this segment a little underwhelming as well. I guess it's just a style of more thorough, classic pilates with high level of attention from the instructor. The facilities are clean and again, I give the four stars mainly because the instructor was so happy. read more

Someone told me that Pilates would change my life. It has also changed my body and I have to hand it to Julianna, Izumi, Monica, Shannda and Kelsey for offering such a rewarding workout. I look forward to my sessions and hate, hate, hate to miss one. The studio is intimate, yet private and peaceful and I love walking out of there feeling that I have just had the best work out ever! read more

Physical Artistry is a fabulous studio! I have been going to Julianna for private and semi private classes for over 6 years and I can't imagine my life without her in it. Not only is the studio a great size, always clean, and have great equipment...but every workout is different. I never get bored and my body never gets used to the same routine. Julianna has modified my workout throughout my pregnancy and I always feel like I am in great hands with her instructing me. read more

I travel all the way from the Valley to do private sessions with Julianna on Saturday mornings. I usually hate to get up and exercise. Yet when it comes to my appointments, with Julianna, I can't wait to get there every Saturday morning. Julianna makes exercise fun and she has transformed my body in a positive way. read more

A great place to get an intense workout in a fun, upbeat atmosphere. Loved it!

I have been a client for a long time. I love the atmosphere, love and care of the instructors! The owner, Julianna, is so caring and very knowledgeable as are the instructors. I had shoulder surgery followed by physical therapy and then plunged back into Pilates and the gals have got me back to full strength! read more

This is a fact: If I feel achy or cranky, once Julianna or Shanda or Izumi are done with me, I am a new person. I definitely give Physical artistry the TOP rating! read more

Love this place. Great teachers, great vibe, great experience. It's clear the owner and her instructors really care about clients. I'm planning on becoming a regular. read more

All the instructors are fantastic here. They are well-trained and know how to work with your injuries. Julianna, Monica, Eileen and the others come up with new and different routines so you don't get bored. Julianna runs a smooth studio. Very friendly. Very clean. I am very impressed with the caliber of the classes and private sessions and highly recommend it. read more

Love, love this place. Instructors are amazing, really attentive, know their stuff. I've been doing sports for a lot of years and I wouldn't still be able to do them without Physical Artistry. Great vibe in studio. Great people. read more

After an ACL injury over 8 years ago and many years of physical therapy and strength training, my physical therapist suggested that I would benefit from a few sessions with a Pilates instructor who also worked with people recovering from injuries and surgeries. I was very reluctant to go but I figured I would give it a try. I must admit at first I felt very awkward and uncoordinated and less than enthusiastic, but I can honestly say that now after more than 2 years, I actually look forward to my Pilate's sessions with the owner, Juliana! She's incredibly knowledgable and, with her dance background, she is bringing out a stronger, more flexible and "graceful" side of me. She teaches with loving firmness and a great sense of humor. There's no "giving up" or "I can't"...but she never pushes past your abilities. Her work-outs vary from week to week. It's never boring and she has a great music selection. The studio is bright, clean, airy and inviting with different rooms for different exercises. Parking is easy right on the street. read more
