Pilates Platinum - This is outside with me watching everyone work out. She just looked at me like an animal at the zoo and continued teaching. - Pilates Near Me - Venice, California

So happy you changes the machines! Now my absolute favorite studio in Venice. Gonna go twice a week.

Clean/bright studio, very convenient class times, ample street parking (which is definitely a godsend in LA) Mark and Mikael's class will kick your ass so good! read more

Been doing pilates for a few years now due to previous back injuries and this is easily my favorite spot in LA! Lindsay KILLLLLLS it and at this point, I plan my week out based on where she is teaching because of how well she tries to hit all muscle groups. Leave each class of hers absolutely worked! Truly believe it's the best workout you can find, highly recommend to anyone and everyone. read more

It was our first time at Pilates Platinum and I have never dealt with someone as rude as the lady working the front desk. She was short, cranky and frankly mean. We were unaware we needed to bring socks and she told us to leave or buy some. Her tone of voice was so pushy and we wont be back. Her attitude ruined our whole experience and she said there are no refunds. I will be contacting the manager. read more

Absolutely love Pilates Platinum. I just started monthly unlimited classes there after visiting them and StudioMDR with classpass quite a few times. Kiki, Lindsay, Cara and Stefanie are my absolute FAVORITE instructors. Their classes are challenging and I always leave drenched feeling empowered and strong. The studio is great and Lagree has completely changed my body. It's very addicting especially as your body starts to change and you notice new strength in every class. read more

Incredibly rude front desk staff. Sat at 12 9/25 We went for an introductory trial only to be snubbed. She told us to go to the front... her definition of front was in the back of the space! She acted like we were stupid for not knowing this. Additionally, no one let us know about required socks which they wanted to sell us to $19 ! Who needs to be treated like this when deciding if we want to participate. Ugh!! read more

One of the best workouts of you want to get toned already seeing and feeling results in 5 sessions Excited to take more read more

FREE SOCKS if you write a yelp review and show it to your instructor!! for all pilates platinum locations, i gave this studio 4 stars because i believe it to have the fairest pricing compared to its other competitors. I also first went to pilates platinum after purchasing a groupon which I highly recommend you doing as deals through groupon/bloomspon/gilt often occur for pilates platinum. you can also receive a FREE INTRODUCTORY class when you first sign up. my only issue is it's difficult to find open classes are machines are limited. However, one point of advice is that a few people tend to "hold spots" and cancel them last minute so you can always try looking for openings the morning of the class you wish to attend. the venice location has 12 machines available and the machines are spread out comfortably enough so you're not paranoid about touching or falling on your neighbor. parking in venice can be difficult at times but i've surprisingly had no issues finding free parking when i come (i usually go to the 7:30pm class)! there's an alley full of parking spaces right behind the studio that you can usually find parking (watch it start filling up now that i've shared all my parking secrets on yelp :x). read more

Pilates Platinum - venice - pilates platinum - Pilates Near Me - Venice, California

***If you're new to the studio, you can use the "bring a friend" monthly pass for $125. So let's be friends and we can benefit this deal! Email info@pilatesplatinum.com and my email at julieliusai@gmail.com that you're interested in joining the studio for the first time. Pilates Platinum is my new favorite work out spot! I was honestly skeptical about trying Pilates on the reformer since I get bored with slow work outs like yoga. After my first class....addicted. I loved it. I felt the burn everywhere and places I never knew could burn. All the instructors are fantastic. Most of them actually take the time to get to know your name which I like. They also come around and fix your posture throughout the class. I can definitely say that I see my body changing already after one month of pilates here! read more

It is unfortunate I need to write this review. I attended a few classes recently at their Venice location. Two of the instructors had terrible attitudes and were extremely rude. One of them got super annoyed (I couldn't hear her over the loud music when she was trying to give me a correction) and she started screaming at me, not in order for me to hear her, but like frustrated screaming. I was so thrown off in the moment I gave her a thumbs up and a smile and when I tried to be friendly after class in my attempt to smooth things over between us, she wouldn't even speak to me, not even a goodbye as I'm leaving the class. The other instructor had a bad attitude from the very start, rolling her eyes constantly at having to actually do her job, and very rudely told me to modify a move because "clearly you're struggling". I like getting feedback and correction on my form, but don't talk down to me. After two terrible experiences with their instructors I wrote the company a very matter of fact and respectful letter about my experience and letting them know that I cannot continue to take classes here if they don't speak to the instructors about their attitude problems... well, it's been a week and no response from them. So here I am writing a review just to warn others that, though the workouts themselves are excellent, it's not worth dealing with the instructors' poor attitude, and a company that doesn't care to do anything about it. read more

WARNING: This is the hardest workout I've ever done! Harder than P90X. Harder than any boot camp. Harder than anything! Don't come here if you just want to pretend to work out. Come here to sweat and work your muscles until they shake (to quote the instructors, "that's when the changes occur"). The results are awesome though! I have a bulging disc in my back and after a month of going here a few days a week, I was virtually pain free 24/7. I've now been going regularly for over 2 years and cannot stop singing its praises. It's amazing!!! Your first class is free...so I recommend giving it a try. Piper and Jenny are two of my favorite instructors, but they're all great. If I refer you, we both get a discounted rate of $125 for one month of unlimited classes...so send me a message and I'll do so. read more

Granted, I am new to pilates, this class is the best work out I have gotten--truly. It works out every muscle in your body, including ones you didn't realize you had! The teachers are super motivating and work you hard so that you get out everything you can. Tip: book classes early as they fill up FAST, and learn the names of the positions to make it easier to transition. read more

Icame here for the first time last week with my girlfriends.They had been raving about there Pilates class so I gave it a try. It was a challenge for sure and I loved it! It was intense and had me sweating right away! I could feel the muscles it was working on which I dont get while just running and doing weights at the gym. I had been looking for a new workout because the gym had gotten a little boring. I liked Jen the instructor. She really pushes the class and me as a newbie she still came over and showed me how to do it correctly. I am very excited to start classes! I like how they have a santa monica location as well since I live there. The studio is very clean which is a big thing for me! Great music during the workout too! Pumps you up! read more

I like this place better than the other ones. I used to do Brentwood a lot, but recently the teachers that I'm fond of offers the class at the time I cannot make... I prefer morning exercise, and here, they have my cure. I did Jaime's class the other day at noon, OH Gosh! She is really hard! The movement was not that difficult to perform, but somehow she got the key to make it hard to maintain. And also you really feel you were building up the lean muscles after class. Maybe because she was very strict with your correction of the movement. Really great and I wanna come back. Also because it's on Abbot Kinney, so much fun to do afterwards ;) read more

Pilates Platinum - Hard work in the morning. - Pilates Near Me - Venice, California

love this place!! I tried Pilates platinum through classpass with a girlfriend. My girlfriend went to several classes and raved about it so I decided to go with her. I'm in love with the class and the vibes of the studio. It's all white, open, and the studio is very clean. The early morning 6am class is magical as the sun rises. My friend and i have made it our Friday routine and we kick off the weekend feeling skinny and fit. Jesse is an amazing teacher. She has a great way of explaining the small movements and the things you're supposed to be imagining/feeling. She gives form correction by telling the class things to keep in mind versus singling anyone out to fix their form. She simply says what she wants you to correct and you know she's talking to you if it applies to you. She switched up the class today and I loved it! The morning classes are never too crowded and it has a sleek, sexy equinox vibe. I don't think i can do Pilates anywhere else because it's such a good workout and the class is an experience. I keep going back because it's a great workout but the studio has good vibes and it's an experience. Also, a plus because you can walk to Superba across the street for coffee after read more

It hurt so good! I consider myself to be in pretty good shape.... but holy moly this was intense. Great class! Cara was great and very informative. I will definitely be returning! read more

I've taken 13 classes at this location so far, and it's been amazing. As someone who is mainly skinny-fat and has had a difficult time forming a habit around consistent exercise, this class has been a huge help in kicking off my goal to be healthy. The best thing as a newbie is to arrive early (the class prior often ends 5~10 minutes before the hour). There is a sign-in sheet by the desk on the right as you enter. There are also a few seats to the left you can wait at. Once the instructor is done and you let them know you're new, they will walk you through the components of the machine. It's really confusing at first and took a few classes for me to figure out. I try to choose a machine in the middle so that I can peek over at what the others are doing since the moves are a bit confusing in the beginning. Luckily, there are mirrors on both walls so you can check your form in either direction. The instructors have all been very helpful. If you let the instructors know of your level beforehand, they will check on your form and provide modifications as necessary. Despite my obvious lack of fitness, never once I felt embarrassed or discouraged in any of my workouts. Lindsay is especially amazing and motivating. She's provided me with the modifications I needed to push through the first few classes, and I've made it a point to go to her class every week now. She even remembered my name just after the first class! If you're much more fit than I am and enjoy hard workouts, try Mikael's class. They're super challenging, but he makes sure that there are multiple levels of modifications and he gives great pointers on form. The first few times were especially uncomfortable and painful. My body would literally quake and give out within 10 minutes of the class. The nice thing is that you can take breaks if necessary, and then jump right back in. There are always modifications available (lighter spring load, on your knees, etc.) and you easily notice when you get stronger next time. I'm finally starting to feel stronger and can hang in there longer. I've gained muscle too and I'm no longer sore for 4 days after a workout. Toe socks are required and you can buy them at the studio. I usually find street parking either on the main street or in the surrounding neighborhood. I haven't had too much trouble finding parking for both 9AM and 7:30PM classes. I highly recommend checking out this studio! read more

This class kicked my butt in all the best ways! I've taken only a handful of classes, but I'm already hooked! The instructors, energy, music and amazing arrangement of training is what makes me want to keep coming back. I'm not an early bird, especially while working and I get up at 530AM in order to make this class before work - that shows how much I enjoy it! The results just keep getting better and better... xx read more

I love this studio. The reformers are so much more challenging than any other studio I've been to and I've never not come out and not felt the burn the next day - which means it's working!! Yay! I'm also new and the instructors I had were really attentive and helped correct my position and modify if need be. There is also a nice amount of space in this studio so you don't feel cramped and the mirrors help you keep your alignment in check too. I had Hannah Cooper and Sarah Sung :-) read more

Pilates Platinum - Pilates Near Me - Venice, California

I love pilates platinum! This place is definitely one of the best pilates places in LA. They have wonderful instructors, My favorite is Jesse she's one of the best Pilates instructor I've ever come across. She is fun, caring, and professional. Her classes are challenging but time flies when I'm with her since we're having a good time at the same time she's teaching the class. Jesse has the human touch. She strives at giving everyone a personalized experience and corrects your form which is very important to take the best out of the class I only wish she taught more classes at the studio. If you haven't tried a class with her you're in for a treat. You won't regret it. read more

Great place to take a class that gives you that full body workout - the instructors are helpful here too, adjusting your posture and pose so you're targeting just the right muscle groups for the appropriate exercise. I definitely break a sweat in each class I take - ha! Great music and energetic environment to get into that workout "mode" - def would recommend to anyone looking to get in a great workout! They have a tiny lot (with only like 6 spots) off of Lincoln, otherwise street parking and in front of the studio doesn't seem too difficult. read more

Highly recommend this studio and specially Lindsay Whitley's class. It's one of the best (and killer!) workouts I've ever done. She is a wonderful teacher and thoroughly explains the exercises while taking the time to correct you. I feel so pumped with her positive energy and never miss her classes on Tuesdays. Thanks to Lindsey my body feels super strong like it's being defined/sculpted class after class and my pilates practice is so much better. read more

This is my favorite Pilates studio but I especially like classes with Stephanie! Her classes are always challenging but she is very encouraging which is great for more of a beginner like me. My friend who is more advanced still gets a burn from the work-out too! Parking on neighborhood streets is sometimes challenging so plan to arrive early if you need to drive. read more

I love this workout. I have been going to pilates platinum for about 7 years. This is the best workout ever. It is still so hard and challenging even after all of these years. It is so hard that I struggle to do many of the moves but I still love it. All of the teachers are great. The Venice location is very convenient for me and I can always get into the. Lasses I want . If you do this workout consistently it will Change your body . read more

I am new to pilates and I hadn't worked out in a while, so I was nervous to try it, but it was really great and I really enjoy coming! It's a tough workout, don't get me wrong, but I feel so good afterwards that it's worth it. I can feel it affecting my legs and core muscles, which is important for me. I have really liked the instructors. They have all been very helpful and offer adaptations if you have injuries, or like me - you have less strength. The studio is super clean and I like that. Great location on Lincoln in Venice. Another plus is they have some parking spaces on Amoroso, because finding a spot on Lincoln can sometimes be a challenge. read more

Wow! What a power-punch class! Stephanie was the teacher and she lead us through one of the most challenging reformer workouts I've ever done. Lots of standing and leg work, so make sure you can balance before signing up. The class I took was booked through Class Pass and it said Advanced. It didn't lie! The studio is small and industrial with a fair amount of machines. Great for being able to get in a class without it filling up too quickly. Floor to ceiling mirrors line both North and South walls and it's fabulous because you can always check your form. Street parking and one bathroom. Totally in love with this studio! Such a gem on Lincoln Blvd in Venice. This place WILL get you fit! I left with my pants too big! Lol! read more

Be aware! Class is extremely hard!!! I consider my self athletic and I do work out pretty often(5 to 6 times a week). Prior to my first visit, I had done reformer classes 5 or 6 times. I was informed that Lagree method is different from traditional pilates, omg they were right. I felt it being very challenging within the first 10 mins and had to adjust some of the workouts so I don't hurt myself, it's definitely more like a hardcore gym session than the pilates I knew. Now I've trained with them twice, tbh I still dread going in but this is the only class that have left me sore for at least two days afterwards. read more

I was looking for a workout that wasn't focused only on making beautiful legs or abs. I have problems with my back and I can't workout in a normal way. Therefore, when I found Pilates Platinum I was so happy! The trainers are very knowledgable and attentive to the needs of every single person. The machines that they have allow you to work out all parts of your body in a low impact way, which really helps build strength and flexibility without injuring yourself. Don't get me wrong...it's not a cakewalk, it's still a real workout. I am already seeing great results after just 7 lessons. If you are looking for great results, I highly recommend you book a lesson and give it a try! read more

It was my first time taking a Pilates Platinum class, and I was looking forward to a very challenging workout. No one greeted me or asked me to sign a waiver, so I asked Ky, who was at the front desk before class, for a waiver. He looked me up and down and actually laughed out loud. He asked me if I knew where I was and told me this was a serious exercise class, not Pilates, and not "wishy washy." I asked him if something about me said "wishy washy." He said that actually it did -- all ClassPass people are wishy washy. He proceeded to mansplain exercise and basic anatomy to me, obviously assuming I was a complete idiot. Before and throughout the class, he bragged about his academic credentials and stared at himself in the mirror. He seemed far more interested in fluffing his ego than actually teaching. After class, Ky seemed surprised that I actually made it through. He shook my hand and told me I could really benefit from Pilates Platinum because it would help with my weaknesses. As I was cleaning my megaformer and gathering my things, Ky proceeded to have a very loud narcissistic, sexist conversation with other students. I left in absolute disgust. Sure, it was a highly challenging workout that pushed my limits and left me sore, but that was dwarfed by the instructor's behavior. Now, I understand that ClassPass is not great for studio owners, and that instructors may be reluctant to take ClassPass users seriously. However, if a studio chooses to join the ClassPass bandwagon, its instructors shouldn't be overtly hostile to a new student just because she signed up via ClassPass. More importantly, the instructor's contempt and misogyny were deeply troubling. There is a difference between pushing students to their limits and treating them as unworthy of respect -- the latter is unethical and very bad for business. read more

I've been going to Pilates Platinum on/off for 4 years now. I've checked out other Lagree Method studios and none of them compare to Pilates Platinum. Pilates Platinum has newer machines and their instructors are the absolute best. My two all-time favorite instructors are Piper Michelle and Stefanie Hasbany. Not only do they have excellent workout routines, but they also always correct my form which I LOVE! I usually walk out their class feeling accomplished but also very defeated because they kick my ass every.single.time. And because I love the abuse, I keep going back. read more

I am OBSESSED with this studio. I love the Lagree Method in general, but every single class I've taken at Pilates Platinum has me sweating and shaking within the first 5 minutes. All the instructors, even the subs I've had, are extremely friendly and helpful. I've found that at a lot of other pilates studios, the instructors/staff can be a bit snobby--only talking to long-time members, their friends, or just playing on their phone in between classes. Here, I've had good convos with all the instructors, and one even did me a solid when I accidentally signed up for the wrong location...THANK YOU! :-) My only suggestion is to make sure you are signing up for the correct location through their online portal. I didn't realize there were multiple locations, and I signed up for my first class in Hollywood by accident. But it's good to know that I can get a kick-ass workout all over LA now! I seriously love this place, it's a fantastic workout, you see REAL RESULTS quickly, and the people are great. read more

I love this class! It's really hard ( one of the hardest workout classes I have done) and in fact it's way harder than any megareformer class in any other city. I have tried megareformer classes in New York, Austin and San Francisco. But boy do you see results! It really makes you build long, lean muscles. I have had several teachers and really liked Julian. Once you start going more regularly you of course don't get as sore. But when you just go once in awhile expect to be sore for at least two days. I highly recommend checking out this studio read more

This place is going to get you fit. I exercise 6 days a week, and this was by far the most intense workout I've experienced. It was as if I have never worked out a day in my life, I was sore (in the best way) for days, and I can't wait to recover and get back in there because I know this is the kind of workout that I have been looking for. It makes yoga and bootcamp classes look like warmups. :D I believe Jenny was the teacher for my first class, and she was amazingly patient and kept everyone up to speed. I definitely was able to keep up. Everyone seemed to be at different levels / different body types, so it's definitely a welcoming environment if it's your first time. I will be back very soon! read more

I've been going to the Studio (MDR) for about three years now but decided to try out a different studio because I was curious. They have an old version of the megaformer which was okay but I didn't find the workout very challenging. Maybe i'm used to a different intensity after going to a different studio though. I do think it's worth trying out if you have never done a class like this before because its great. read more

LOVE Pilates Platinum and it's become one of my favorite studios and workouts in LA. It's definitely a challenging workout but you see results and it's SO worth it. Pilates Platinum has some of the best machines (love their Megaformers) and the studios are almost always nice and clean. Mikael P. and Stefanie H. are my two favorite instructors at the Venice location. They both give great instruction, helpful adjustments, and play good music. They will not go easy on you -- and I appreciate that :) if you're looking to work hard/feel great/actually make your body stronger... I HIGHLY SUGGEST checking them out. read more

The classes here always challenge me and work muscles I didn't even know I had! I love it.

Absolutely best Pilates studio I've ever been to. It's a real workout - no joke! The mega reformers are amazing machines and the classes super entertaining, fun, challenging and will keep you interested. Jamie Rojas and Caitlin King are amazing instructors. They walk you thru the workout so If you're new to Pilates, no need to sweat, I mean you will but they have your back :) toe socks required or else it's $15-20 to buy a pair at the studio so bring your socks! read more

As a yoga teacher, former junior swimmer and all-around athletic person, I had been desperately seeking a workout that I would love after a 2008 car accident left me with permanent injuries to my lower spine. It only took me 3 years to find Pilates Platinum in Venice, but now I'm hooked. I love love love Jennifer & Jasmine and look forward to their butt-kicking workouts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I wish I could go every day! Plus, the space is clean and well-thought-out. Love. read more
