Brianna V.

Refined is my fave Pilates studio around! The instructors are so friendly & I always get such a good workout in. I have brought my sisters and friends to the refine & align classes and they loved the tough workout. The vibe & atmosphere in this studio is also very cute & welcoming. I love coming to my weekly workouts & look forward to a fun time in each class. They also have a red light sauna I've been wanting to try out!

One thing I didn't mention before--this place is consistently good, which honestly is rare. Every class feels intentional, the equipment is always clean, and I've yet to take a class that felt like a throwaway. Booking is also super easy and classes actually start on time (which deserves its own 5 stars). No chaos, no confusion--just show up and get humbled by Pilates in the best way.

This amazing studio in Whittier has the kindest people working there, you can tell that they love what they do and care about you doing the proper movements & take safety into consideration always. I love that they have a sauna area also ! I love following them on instagram and seeing other events they host for charity and just giving back to their community. It's amazing the work all of them put into this place (:

So happy I found this Pilates studio near me. All the instructors are so nice and make me feel welcome and comfortable. Have brought my friends and family here too!

beautiful pilates studio

Still my favorite pilates studio! The community is my favorite. The classes feel very intimate and the instructors are always helping to correct form or give an alternative to the movement if is too hard for you individually. I've taken 7 instructors and all have been great!

400 classes in and still so happy I found this special studio. My favorite things about Refined in no particular order: The instructors- qualified, attentive, welcoming, and prepared with thoughtful and challenging flows that can be modified for all levels. The responsiveness of the managerial team- questions, comments, concerns all addressed with professionalism and in a timely manner. The environment- aesthetically classic and grounding, I always feel so tucked away from the chaos of the world around me when I'm in the studio and sauna. Joanna- the owner of the studio, her love for Pilates shines through and she is always striving to give back. She has community classes (free!), classes in Spanish, and more. Stop by, the Refined regulars will welcome you with open arms!

I've always been interested in wanting to take Pilates, but was getting close to ending my second trimester of pregnancy and decided to start it after during my postpartum recovery. Little did I know that when I took a class, I saw some individuals that were able to do Pilates during pregnancy. However, they would just modify movements for pregnancy and there is a special pad that you use, which I thought was awesome because now I know in the future when I have baby number two I can keep working out with modifications. It's great and I absolutely fell in love with it after the first class. Your first class credit is free, then they offer you a discounted three class package price after you are done. In the beginning, I remember doing the class wondering how the heck will I ever get to the advanced levels like others because some of the movements look absolutely crazy with some of the ladies making it look so darn easy. Well, here I am 50 classes later and I definitely want to try to do more classes every time and I am getting better at the movements and even taking some of the advanced classes now. All of the instructors are great and you definitely get different teaching methods with each one which is fun. The instructors are thorough, they give visual demonstrations, and hands-on corrections. They make it a point to always ask if you are a beginner, or if you need to inform them of any injuries or modifications that you may need so they are aware to help accommodate . Lastly, the studio is absolutely beautiful with such a calming and pleasing aesthetic inside. The bathroom has essentials for women (hair ties, spray deodorant, dry shampoo, feminine products, etc) which is great because sometimes you need those things! Not to mention the music they play in there is great, different playlists depending on the instructor. The owner is very sweet and you can tell that she has a passion for Pilates and loves sharing it with those around her, whether that is her staff or the members of the studio. I love it, and I am excited that I found a Pilates studio for life .

This isn't just a studio it's a community all about being empowering and welcoming. Bring up each other. My first class raemarie made me feel welcomed and walked me through the machine and the class and broke everything down for me! I became a member back in August 2025 as an ultimate member. Before that I started with an intro pack in July. Raemarie actually was the one who helped me love it and get my membership. I fell in love with this place. Not only was it welcoming but Megan and Joanna has pushed me harder than I push my self in the gym. It's really a powerful community Joanna has created for everyone who comes in and takes a class also a great way to celebrate any events there

This is way overdue, however, after a year of being a member I feel that I can give a solid review. I absolutely love this Pilates studio! The space is beautiful, calm, and welcoming, and every class feels intentional and uplifting. Joanna, the owner, has created something truly special--her passion and attention to detail shine through in the studio, the thoughtful events, and even the cutest merchandise. The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive, and I always leave feeling stronger, more aligned, and refreshed. Highly recommend!

Had my first class a few weeks ago for a friend's birthday workout and was super fun and such a great vibe! The instructor Meg was super nice and understanding that it was a lot of us first time doing this! I ended up signing up for a 3 day class pack and took my second class with Alyssa today. She was so sweet and helped me when I felt a little unsure of what to do next as well as correct me in a kind way that made me feel comfortable. I hope to continue to add more classes!

As a postpartum mama, you want a Pilates studio that makes you feel safe, comfortable, and has all the good vibes. Refined Pilates studio is just that!! Not to mention we love supporting a female owner who pours into her studio and community. Have seen first hand from the beginning. Absolutely love it here.

Just wrapped up my 30th class and honestly, joining this studio might be the best life choice I've made--right up there with ordering fries and a milkshake. The studio itself? Spotless, stylish, and effortlessly cool (kind of like your favorite Instagram feed). I love how they keep everyone in the loop--no cryptic schedules or surprise changes. They even host monthly hikes for members, which is equal parts wholesome and genius. And the little things? Chef's kiss. For Coachella weekend, they handed out roses and goodie bags like we were VIPs at a desert festival. As for the instructors--each one brings the energy, but Corrine, Rae Marie, and Savannah are my go-tos. They'll make sure your form is on point without making you feel like you're in boot camp. 10/10, would sweat here again.

Great beginner friendly class. I took refine & Algin with Meg. She's a great teacher asking if anyone had any injuries. She explained each movement perfect. Would recommend Meg.

This place is wonderful…read more Every time I come in it's a great experience. I've done pilates with Wendy she is very professional and takes her time to make sure you are doing the exercises correct and your form is spot on. I've attended the sound bowl classes love them. Even my kids enjoyed the experience. Will continue to do. They give me peace and allow me to open mind and realize what I have to deal with to move forward and get better. I recently tried the yoga and meditation class and the gentleman conducting that class was awesome. Doing yoga was my first time he offered different poses that best fit me thank you for that. The meditation was get being walked thru it and allow to free my mind of my thoughts and take in something new was very interesting. I loved it. I also just tried there Saturday $5 yoga class and that to I loved. The instructor was wonderful helping me with the poses and understanding my limits. I felt it the next day so I know it was a great workout. It also gave me engery to get thru the day and it helped me with my attitude. I suffer from anxiety and this class actually helped my mind frame that even my kids noticed my mood was completely different. So thank you for that I'm going to invest in talking more classes both pilates for my physical health and yoga for my mental health. And try to attend the other classes the sound bowl and yoga with meditation to help balance everything. They need more than 5 stars. So if your looking for a yoga , pilates studio look no more this is the place. Enjoy

The staff here have been very professional in providing instruction that meets my specific needs, and to supplement physical therapy. I have the highest praise for Laurel Negrych who has been my private instructor. Her ability to listen to my concerns and then watch my movements to help me strengthen weak muscles and relax tight muscles has been amazing. Her diligence has helped be ready to keep up with my first grandchild. Thank you Laurel and Balanced Energy Studio.

I'm already planning to go back and am excited to make this part of my regular routine. A couple of weeks ago, I took my very first Pilates class ever. I was a little nervous going in. I'm not very active, and I wasn't sure how I'd do on the reformer machine. But the studio has a relaxed, welcoming vibe, and everyone was super friendly, which really helped put me at ease. Lisa is awesome--she's super knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and makes class really fun. She explained everything clearly, offered helpful tips throughout, and made sure everyone felt comfortable, no matter their level. I especially appreciated how she gave personalized modifications based on each person's needs. Most recently, I took the Pilates Reformer Flow class, which was a great mix of stretching, core work, and balance exercises. It was definitely a workout, but not in an overwhelming way. After the intro class, I left feeling stretched, more aligned, and surprisingly relaxed. After the Reformer Flow class, I left feeling tired in the best way (the "I got a good workout in today" kind of tired) and honestly, a little proud of myself for sticking with it. If you're thinking about trying Pilates or just want a supportive, enjoyable group class, I definitely recommend Lisa's. I'll be back next week! :)

I've taken several exercise classes, but I haven't found any place that tailors the instruction to…read moreeach individual like this one. Even though it's a group class, Lisa pays attention to each and every person.

I wish I had tried it sooner Aaliyah Divinagracia took her time to make sure my form was correct and also guided me through the exercises as I'm a beginner.

They do fill up the entire class so the instructor isn't demonstrating how to do the moves, but she does walk around and correct form/help you transition. I appreciated this class was so much more focused on making sure you nail the basics because too many trendy studios try to "push" students do harder moves than their core is ready for. I already weight lift so I like Pilates to help me recover and practice good form (especially because I'm prone to not engage my core enough when I lift!). I'm sure their non beginner class is more challenging, but this was a perfect, restorative Saturday morning work out. I also liked the intro course because there were students from all age groups and no pretentious vibe that I've had at other studios where students judge if you're in aesthetic clothes or not (people ranged from cute fits to comfy gym clothes so you can totally do both here). Looking forward to coming back whenever I need a good recovery stretch and to perfect my core strength!
