I like that their classes are available on ClassPass for easy and affordable booking when I'm in the area. I have tried the jump board class and mat class so far; both were nice easygoing morning classes with a good amount of challenge. You shouldn't come expecting to be drenched in sweat at the end. The classes are capped at 4 people, and both times I came they were fully booked so reserve ahead of time if you want to try it out. First class is just $15 and you can check in on here to get a free mat class, both of which can be booked on MINDBODY if you don't have ClassPass!

I thought I had been doing Pilates for years until I started working with Robyn atPilates Studio…read more1007. I did not realize that practicing classic Pilates would be an entirely different experience. As challenging and frustrating as it has felt at times, I must say the training has been satisfying and energizing. Basically, I had to unlearn so many bad habits that I had acquired with former teachers and embrace an entirely new perspective on practice. Having been with Robyn now for almost two years, I can appreciate how much better equipped I am to understand the importance of this classical approach. I highly recommend Pilates Studio 1007 and its other excellent professional trainers to those who truly appreciate a focused and consistent approach to a tried and true method of understanding and using your mind and body to maximize strength, coordination, and flexibility.

The instructor and owner KATY is very kind, very positive and truly deeply experienced…read more This review addresses both her excellent teaching and the private, as well as the studio itself. The highest compliment I can pay Katy is that she deserves a studio as upscale and classy as she is. The pricing is incredibly reasonable; and she goes out of her way with regards to schedule to ensure that privates can be set up around the clients in her schedule. I got a tremendous amount out of the 55 minutes that we were working, and was truly impressed by her skill as a pilates instructor - clearly she can handle both newcomers up to advanced dancers. The owner was transparent and said that at this time she's limited in being able to take on new clientele, but is always open to the conversation as scheduling might just work out. Like a lot of studios post Covid, she still working out other instructors' schedules. So that this review is credible, there are a few things that should be shared in transparency: Good air-conditioning is crucial especially during these long hot dry summer days and nights; like a lot of buildings in Santa Monica, particularly older ones (the building that this private small studio is in is quite old and a bit rundown)- there is no central air - at least none that is working; so the studio relies on standalone air conditioning's that you would purchase at Home Depot. And unfortunately given how hot it is right now, they were not substantial to keep the place cool through the 50 minutes of a work out. I had to ask a few times if there was anyway to make it cooler; and while all devices differ, the overall temperature throughout our session was around 78 to 79° (it was 84 degrees outside according to my Iphone). This obviously would not be an issue during the cooler months when Santa Monica's overall temperature would be in the high 60s to low 70s. Equipment was all in good shape; not all brand new but it's still well-kept. For some reason the studio was kept in the dark - there were no lights on and bamboo shades were drawn so the whole session was pretty much in semi darkness; I'm not sure what the reason for that was other than to help keep the temperature down. It made for a bit of a gloomy overall tone to the session. I could've asked if we could turn on the lights, but given that the air-conditioning was already struggling, thought it more important to keep it as cool as possible and guessed that was the reason for all lights being off. There is no water offered in the studio; you'll want to bring your own. And there is a small dog that did leap on me as I entered and was active and running around at a few points during the session. This is definitely something that is of course completely personal preference - but I always find it compassionate and helpful when an owner lets you know that there will be a small animal running around in the studio; I prefer a completely clean studio with no animals, and wish this had been clearly mentioned during any one of our conversations leading up to our first session. (Upon entering the dog was removed from my feet, and I was told would remain in his little bed set up by the Cadillac; however that was not the case). If you're a dog person, or don't mind a small animal occasionally walking around during your session, then this won't be an issue. KATY's excellence as an instructor outweighs these small negatives; and if you live/work in Santa Monica or close to Pico and Main, it's definitely worth checking out!

***This review is for being a spectator viewing from the outside only***…read more During the CHLA 5K walk that my eldest daughter and I did at Santa Monica Beach recently, we noticed there was a group of people on our left near the grass area. I was curious what they were doing. It turned out that they were doing yoga. There was one yoga instructor leading the group and about 10 people doing yoga poses. Cool! I have done yoga in the comfort of my home and in a yoga class at the gym, but never have done it outside in public. It was so cool to watch yoga being performed out in the open public AND it was at the beach. I wouldn't mind doing that one day myself, but I probably won't do it by myself. I would want to be part of a yoga group for sure. I wonder if they have to reserve the grass area for the yoga session. Hmmm?
