I am new to Pilates and I absolutely love this studio. I had injured my back and needed a good core workout to help support my lower back and I tried a few Pilates studios but this one was more reasonably priced and the instructors were very helpful when I didn't know a move or needed a modification. I am a crossfitter and thought I had a strong core but holy moly! This is an insane workout and should be used in conjunction with any workout routine. I always leave feeling stronger and more balanced! read more

I've been a SLT addict since the workout came to NY so was pleasantly surprised to find this studio so close to me. This is truly an amazing workout for toning and for building body awareness. My fiancé and I both signed up for the monthly after our first class which was only $10. Heather is very responsive as she set us up NYE eve so we could book our classes in advance of the New Years rush. read more

I've been going to Pilates Platinum for more than a year now and I truly love this workout. I used to go mainly to barre classes and ever since I added this to my workout routine, I can see a difference in how I look and how I feel. What I love is that each class is completely different. After each class, I'm sore in muscles that I didn't even know existed. You can always modify to make the class easier or more difficult depending on your level of fitness. The teachers are excellent. My favorites are Lindsay, Stephanie, and Sarah. A few tips: Bring a water bottle! You'll definitely sweat. And speaking of sweat, bring a small towel so you stay dry. Wear leggings so that the teacher can see and correct your form. Get there a little early if you're new so that your teacher can acquaint you with the reformer (which is much easier to use than it looks). If you have any sort of major injury, think about doing a few private classes so that you can learn modifications that work for your body. Oh, and definitely bring some grip socks! You'll need them to stay steady on the megaformer. They do have a parking lot where you can park without any time restrictions. Ask at the front desk and they'll direct you. If you go in the mornings, street parking shouldn't be an issue, just pay attention to the meters. read more

Love this studio!! Best workout ever, every class is a little different and I always leave feeling so sore and challenges me beyond my limits. Since going within the last month my body has really changed. My core abs butt are so much tighter!! The studio is clean and the instructors are great. Will definitely continue to come workout here! read more

I attended my first class on Monday and had to go back again. I had never done reformer pilates before and it was by far the most challenging workout i've ever done. I thought I was going to pass out by the end of the first class (which is apparently normal). I did three sessions this week and I feel great. Each class had great instructors with really good music. The best part is that each class has been different. I will be incorporating this into my workout routine. LOVE IT. read more

I LOVE this place! I have been going to classes for 9 months and I can't get enough of the spinlates and SPX classes. My body has completely changed and I am challenged in every single class, even though I typically go 4 days a week! The instructors are motivating and supportive, and I look forward to going to class even though I know I am going to be pain. It may be expensive but it is well worth it:) read more

Awesome work out! The best I have ever done! Jennifer Yates is great! Scary at first, but a wonderful instructor!

I love pilates platinum! I've been going for about a month and I'm addicted. My unlimited package just ran out and I am really wanting to do another. My favorite instructors are Amie, Stefany (she plays awesome music and does a lot of abs) and Beth! It's a hard workout and I feel like I get both strength an cardio in one. If anyone wants to join with me we can do the bring a friend deal for $115 unlimited! Message me. read more

I'm from NYC and a pilates instructor and needed to make sure I got a good workout during my trip to LA. I was happy to find out that Stefanie, who used to teach in NYC, was working at a studio that incorporated the megaformer and a more intensive pilates program. I loved it and my abs were sore for the next few days, which I never feel after a workout. The class was intense but at a manageable pace and I felt like I left with a real full body workout. I loved the natural lighting in the studio with the floor to ceiling windows. I definitely will be back when I'm back in town! read more

Ky's class was the most intense workout I've ever taken. My whole body was shaking and Ky made sure everyone's form was on point. Will be back very soon! read more

Amazing workout!! The instructor Lindsay was super helpful and motivating for a beginner! Definitely recommend!!!

Have been coming here for a few weeks and have really enjoyed every workout. The instructors take time to help with positioning and adjustments. Feels more personalized than a lot of other mega reformer studios around LA. Highly recommend! read more

This place is a mecca for core strength, great work out, a focus on form. I have 2 little ones and I haven't felt this good since before my pregnancy. read more

This workout is amazing! I live in Orange County, but whenever I am in the Marina del Rey/Venice area, I do my best to get to Pilates Platinum! It is seriously the hardest workout I've ever done, and it's AWESOME! The studio itself is super nice, parking is easy (although I've only ever done 6am classes), and the instructors are nice and helpful! read more

BEWARE! In over 20 years of doing Pilates I have NEVER encountered as bad a class or teacher as I did yesterday at this studio! Maybe if you are the kind of person who loves a scowling drill Sergent and the kind of aerobic class that is designed to hurt your body instead of work it properly, this one is for you. I went to the noon class, arrived 10 minutes early and no one was there. The place was locked up and dark. I started to worry that something was amiss at about 5 minutes til when still no one was there. then two people arrived at about 3 minutes before noon...a few more people, all of us waiting outside the door, and at 1 minute til noon the teacher finally arrived. There was a mad scramble in, no acknowledgment of anyone new to the class, people thew off their shoes and scrambled to the machines. Suddenly blaring music was on (okay, not classical pilates, I get it - aerobic pilates)...and the instructor in her headset, not very Pilates either) starts calling out "Three yellow springs, legs through straps, roll-up crunches..." YIKES! First off no warm up and everyone's diving in trying to scramble to get springs on and figure out what we're supposed to do. No a single word from the instructor "Anyone new here?" or "Anyone have injuries I should know about?" Nada. She just went through the motions of being there as if she was bored to death and didn't care. A couple of us mentioned we were new to the studio, but she didn't seem to even bother, she just said, watch the person next to you. OKAY, so I now know I am just a dollar sign and not a human you need to worry about, huh? Next up...I called her over to mention I was new and also that I was recovering from a broken toe. She looks at my feet, goes over to the desk, grabs a pair of toe socks in a package and hands them to me. "You need to put these on". Um...well no way with my right foot, two toes taped together, was I going to manage that foot. I was beginning to wonder if she'd actually taken any real Pilates training. Joseph Pilates invented Pilates Method to heal bodies from injuries and to get dancers and sports people back from both injuries and Polio back in the 50's. I've been doing it since I was a dancer, injured, through sports medicine programs long before it became the hot exercise trend...I KNOW Pilates, it's evolution and have taken classes at some of the best studios in NY, San Francisco and here in LA. THIS was an atrocity!! The very next exercise dove straight into a standing twisted side crunch...STILL, NO WARM UP of the body. This is a routine made to injure bodies in the worst way and after a few minutes of this I mentioned to the teacher that this was obviously not Classical Pilates and I wasn't sure how much I;d be able to do with my broken toes. Her answer...not anything about modifying my stance or working WITH my body, but, "OH, are you one of those Bloomspot people? Well, there was a description on that deal, you should have read it." This said in the most unfriendly curt way...after one more exercise, I looked at her and said I thought it better if I leave. She just said, "Fine"...WOW...I left feeling like I'd just had the worst experience EVER in my life, was really disturbed, bugged I;d thrown good money away and been treated like I was a piece of meat who was just there to line their pockets with cash. TOTAL opposite from BodyWellness and Whole Body Pilates, both of which are GREAT! I can only speak at the moment from the perspective of this Venice location and this one teacher: I think her name was Jennifer Yates, but since she never said anything at the beginning and just looked annoyed the whole time, I really can't tell if she was the person listed on the schedule or not. Also, the machines there...basically are crap. I've done Pilates on just about every machine out there, and these were the worst. In short...Forget the Bloomspot deal, this place is NO DEAL! read more

This is my favorite work out in all of LA. I am constantly trying new pilates, yoga, cardio, barre and circuit classes and this is the one I continue to go back to. It's a very challenging class and it gets results! I feel stronger and toned on nearly every place on my body! The equipment is top quality, the teachers are knowledgeable and helpful, and there is always great music to get you through the burn!! I highly recommend this if you are lookin for a serious work out and a hot bod :) read more

Pilates Platinum is AMAZING! I was quite intimidated at first... but eventually got a hang of it. A killer workout. Works every muscle in your body, Hurts so GOOD. First class i went to was taught by Jennifer Yates and i havent gone to anyone since. Shes awesome! I wouldnt recommend anyone to go anywhere else.. then again i would, because i dont want anyone reserving MY spot in the class! :-p read more

5 stars for Lindsay's 6am class today! The exercises were safe and controlled, but still very challenging!!!

I have had to a ton of different instructors and every one is great! Fantastic workout and you'll see the results. If you're pregnant they will make sure to incorporate the needed modifications. It's the most effective workout I've ever done. 50 minutes 3-4 times a week and your body will be thanking you. read more

Amaze balls! I love this place and Pilates is so good for your abs and core and everything else or that matter. Def will come at least once per week if not more. read more

My journey with pilates started at Studio MDR - which is a great studio, and i loved my results but the prices were so high that i had to stop. Let me say - as an athlete, i typically find most workout classes to be redundant and easy and my body is used to high intensity workouts so i typically plateau with results/weight/toning. Pilates all changed this - so thankfully i found Piates Platinum! I must say Michelle M is the best pilates teacher i've ever had. This is more than just a workout, it's essentially a science in that the right chemistry of moves/the right composition of things result in the best workout. I've had some teachers who throw together routines without thinking - but Michelle M really puts thought into everything. All of the transitions and the moves really tie together making me feel like my body is getting the most of this workout. Her class never gets easier and she's so focused and so dedicated to making sure you get the moves right. Thank you Michelle and PP! read more

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G .... isolated workouts that make you drip sweat and I don't sweat easy! I love coming here to get challenged and work on body parts that normally don't get addressed via my regular workouts. I never get bored or feel like I'm not being challenged ... and since it's pilates, I know that I'm recovering weak body parts from past injuries. The place is clean, easily located, and right next yet yummy "Lemonade!." Love this place! read more

Lindsay was great today - my first class and super helpful! I can already feel the burn in my core and legs and will definitely add this to my workout regime! Loved it. read more

Wow, I had such an amazing class today with Lindsay as the instructor. I hadn't gone to pilates in 5 years and she gave me a quick crash course on how to work the machine, she stopped by to correct my form many times and was so descriptive over the sound system that it was very easy to follow the routine. She's a real pro. I'm signing up for the same class next week! read more

This class was so great! Tara gave precise directions and it really worked out every muscle in my body. I will definitely be coming back to Pilates Platinum!! read more

This is the first studio I had ever experienced reformer Pilates and was I surprised. I have been working out my whole like and this is one of the most challenging workout I've ever done. Every movement is done with stability and control. You're not trying to win a race and lift as heavy as possible, the true challenge comes with holding each posture and completing each movement slowly. Since trying this studio I've tried the traditional Pilates carriage and I like the versatility of Platinum's megaformer way more. Their instructors are great. Love their attention to detail, emphasis on proper form and reminding students to breath with their movements. I'm sweating and shaking by the end of every class and always sore the next day. In my opinion this is the best workout for anyone training for longevity. Its strengthening, toning, builds coordination and mental focus. I recommend this for anyone dealing with scoliosis or any muscular imbalances (like me), as the machine forces you to be in alignment and with many of the exercises being performed isolating left to right, you can feel your strengths and weaknesses and work toward being in balance. read more

I took my first class at Pilates Platinum Venice a few days ago and I'm still thinking about how great it was! This was my first encounter with a megaformer, though I've taken classical reformer Pilates for 5 years, and it was amazing. Stephanie was super welcoming, very thorough throughout class, and also really positive (all while kicking ass of course!). She was also incredibly hands on which I always appreciate. This spot is definitely going to become a staple in my workout routine! read more

I love the teachers at this studio! Every single one has given me specific corrections that are helping me master this style of workout while preventing injuries and making me toned!! It's a hard workout but pays off and goes by so fast! Love love love! read more

First time doing Pilates and it was so hard and fun! What a great workout! Jamie was my instructor and she was super nice from the moment I walked in the door. She explained everything to me, how to adjust the machine if needed and was super supportive and encouraging. The class was a hard workout that left me immediately sore, and I loved how cool Jamie was always making sure I was following along, teaching variations, and guiding us through! The studio is great, very clean and modern and there's plenty of free street parking all around. Can't wait to go back! read more

What an amazing class! Had a long layover for my flight out of LAX. This was an easy 20 min Uber from the airport and so I took the chance to come over and check it out. Well worth the trip and highly recommend. Meg was a very friendly and great instructor- she took the time to review and correct your moves. read more

Great classes!! Couldn't be happier that I tried Pilates Platinum! Every class I've been to has exceeded my expectations and the instructors really try to switch up the exercises at every class to keep people going! If you're looking for a great all body workout HIGHLY RECCOMENED!!!! It's always challenging and you leave feeling great and sore :) read more

ATTN. If you are a BEGINNER, Please do NOT take any classes with DEBI. Terrible experience. Debi was not only LATE and arrived 5 minutes right before class started, but she was EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL and rude. It was my first time taking a Pilates class (EVER). I arrived 15 min early as what was required from the confirmation email. I was not given a tour of the gym, nor was I given a PROPER walk-through of the machine. Instead (bc she was LATE), she had me quickly sign the consent form, then walked over to a machine and spoke so fast on how to use it, that I just nodded to please her. I thought to myself, "I'm an Athlete and a quick learner. How tough can this be?" Well, I was wrong. The whole class, I was struggling to have correct form and I could tell she was getting annoyed and frustrated with me. I'm new. So, this machine is completely foreign to me. So naturally, I'd look in the mirror to copy the other girls so I wouldn't fall behind. However, Debi didn't like that. In fact, she kept saying NOT to look in the mirror & instead focus on your body. While I understand that you must keep your head down during certain exercises, I was just trying to make sure I had correct form. Then, I was singled out in front of the whole class for having my belongings near the machine (for which she never showed me where to put anything), and then again, for taking a few water breaks in between and not keeping up with the class. As she continued to shout at me that my form was off, I grew frustrated and finally asked for help. But instead of actually showing me or moving my legs to right position, she had the nerve to say, "I can't help you. I have to watch the other girls and teach the class!" And of course, she couldn't help me. She was too busy doing hammer curls with her dumbbells to what seem to be her own personal workout while teaching the class!!! Wow. Extremely disappointing. Never coming here again. Save your money and your time. Go to the Studio (MDR) instead. Their machines are not only newer but their instructors are professional and patient for beginners. read more

Love the studio and class! The class had a great structure and is really good workout!

If you've been thinking about trying pilates but you're intimidated by it (like I was), this is the perfect place to start. I recommend Rendel as a teacher for first-timers because she's great about correcting form, and she's super nice and encouraging. The clientele are also friendly and the vibe is very laid back and unpretentious ... and it's an amazing workout. The parking may seem bad at first, but don't look on Abbott Kinney - look on Venice where it intersects Abott Kinney, since the studio is right on that corner. I've never had an issue finding a spot. Also the studios' owner, Heather, is really fast to respond to e-mails if you have any questions or feedback. Just a great studio all-around. read more

I have gone to pilates platinum several times. I like every instructor and Heather the owner is always so responsive to any questions or concerns. I like to read her blog too! The space is small, but perfect and easy to park behind Lemonade on Abbott Kinney. It's a good workout and my core is usually sore for days after a class. Thats what we all want though right? :) read more

Love going here!!! This is definitely for someone who likes a challenge. I have been going for 8 months on a regular basis. I love all the teachers. They all have different routines, which helps to keep things new and fun. I highly recommend attending one of the classes. Convenient locations for westsiders! read more

Addicted. I can't believe it has already been a year that I have been with Pilates Platinum! I have never felt better, and have finally found a work out regimine that doesn't feel like 'work'. The instructors are beyond motivating - especially in the 6am classes that I have grown to love. Would absolutely recommend this studio to anyone and everyone. read more

I purchased a package from Bloomspot for 3 pilates classes, and I quickly realized that I made a huge mistake by not purchasing 10 classes! Heather was awesome in helping me fix that. If you want to get in shape FAST, this is the way to go. After my first class with Joleigh, my abs were sore for 3 days after. I have done P90X, and can honestly say that I've never had a workout push me so hard and workout my entire body the way that pilates at Pilates Platinum does! I have since taken classes with Jaime and Lindsey, who are both equally amazing. You definitely won't regret trying it out, but be prepared to sweat! read more

I love this place. You may shake like a leaf in your first session, but after three classes your body is tighter and soo much stronger! Stefanie and Beth at the Venice studio are the best!!! read more

Best workout I've ever tried and trust me, I've tried everything from Soul Cycle to Physique 57 - this class will kick your butt in the best way!! read more
