A few facts about me: one, am a massage therapist; two, love to study anatomy; and three, have a left hip/bursa issue that can keep me up nights. To say I am a bit particular about the human body, especially mine would be accurate. I was lucky enough to be referred to Debbie, and have not been sorry for one minute since. The days before I saw her, I could not sleep, was sitting on ice, there was not one comfortable position as my left hip was vexing! After my first session with Debbie it stopped hurting, and has not bothered me since. With two reformers, a pilates chair, and various "devices" there is never a dull moment, nor a session that is like the last. Debbie understands the human body, has a myriad of ways of working around issues, and she listens. There are times I come in and say "stretch, and murder my core" and she does. Other times she sees how I am moving when I walk in the door, and creates a great session on the fly based on what she sees, and it is always spot on. If you make room in your budget and schedule for her, you will not be disappointed! read more

Debbie is by far the most knowledgeable and educated Pilates instructor I have ever worked with. She is very helpful and inspirational. Debbie teaches to individual needs. She helped me pre back surgery and her classes really assisted me in a thorough recovery. Your Time Pilates is the best! read more

Debbie is an amazing teacher. She makes sure you are in the correct position and using your core appropriately as Pilates experts know! She has taken me through a hip replacement this past year and I am now back to myself and advancing with Debbie's guidance. She really knows what she is doing and I am becoming ever stronger with her help. I love Pilates, but it must be done right, and that's the key with Your Time Pilates. The studio is beautiful, personal, and clean. All COVID precautions are taken and there are many options of equipment to take care of every aspect of your body's need. Absolutely wonderful studio!! read more

I have been working with Debbie for nearly one year now (my wife has been seeing her for longer). I was a bit skeptical starting Pilates as a 35 year old male but I very much enjoy working at Debbie's private studio for one-on-one sessions as well as couples sessions with my wife. Pilates is a nice change and is a challenging workout. The studio has two Pilates reformers plus all sorts of other equipment such as TRX bands, reformers, rollers, bands, balls, springboard, box, and lots of other things I don't know the names of. Debbie incorporates classical and modified variations of Pilates along with mat/floor work, circuit training, and lots of other things. You never know what is in store at each session! The nice thing about Pilates is that it can be adapted to your strengths/limitations. At one point I had an injured toe which limited my exercising at my regular gym but Debbie was able to work around that. Same for my wife who was dealing with a nagging back injury. Debbie was cognizant of the injuries and worked around them as well as helped with stretching her out. So if you are looking to try Pilates in a private setting, check out Your Time Pilates. The clientele is quite diverse in terms of age, sex, and fitness level so she can work with all skill levels. I was a 35 year old male in decent physical shape looking for something new to try and I'm glad I did. read more

I first signed up for Pilates classes at Your Time Pilates to firm muscles after I had lost a lot of weight. I was greatly pleased when I first met with Debbie at my first private class. She was relaxed, soft-spoken, and very welcoming, but when she began her focused instruction, she conducted the training in a very disciplined and controlled atmosphere. She made you feel safe, and fully trusting that you are in good hands. When Debbie felt confident that you fully understood the precise directions for a particular session, she made you feel more relaxed by introducing humor into the conversation. After a few Pilates classes with Debbie, at Your Time Pilates, I realized that I had not only improved my muscle tone, but that the training with her had enhanced my emotional, spiritual, and mental faculties. I now look forward to every future class with Debbie, and very highly recommend Your Time Pilates to everyone who wishes to improve physically, as well as mentally, emotionally and spiritually. read more

Since doing Pilates with Debbie, I have gained flexibillity, more energy and better balance (I am 75 and had a history of falling and have not fallen since). It was interesting to see that the work out carried over into my daily activies. As well as being a Pilates Instructor, Debbie had a long history of success as a massage therapist and her understanding of the body shows in how she conducts her sessions. I would recommend her for anyone of any age. read more

Debbie is the best! I had never taken pilates before purchasing sessions from Debbie. Being a guy and in my early 50's I was very nervous. From our first session Debbie made me feel at ease. She is a great instructor. The workouts are challenging and strengthening. Debbie pays close attention to form. I have several issues with my feet and back. Debbie has modified and created exercises helping me much more than any physical therapy ever has! Her studio is small and private and super clean. Debbie's prices are also extremely affordable. Because of who Debbie is as a person, you will get much more than a pilates session from her. She is like a good friend who you look forward to visiting! read more

Debbie is a great Pilates instructor. I look forward to our sessions, and always feel better after a workout than I did when I arrived. We work hard, we laugh lots! Thanks to Debbie, I'm strong and flexible; no need for chiropractic and no surgery necessary for my torn rotator cuff. Now that she has her own studio on Magnolia, I can walk there! read more

I can not recommend Debbie enough! She is a fantastic instructor and a wonderful person. With her experience in massage therapy, she knows the body better than any other pilates instructor I've had. Aside from being knowledgeable of anatomy, she never fails to give an excellent workout. Unlike the bootcamp instructors, I feel challenged but enjoy myself through every workout. read more

I highly recommend Debbie! My active life has resulted in a few areas that occasionally need special attention, and she always adjusts my form to ensure that I'm maximizing my exercise to get a great Pilates workout. She is positive and encouraging, and willing to push me past my comfort zone in order for us to see some results. I look forward to our private sessions, and every workout is a little different, so I don't get bored. I'm stronger, more toned and flexible, better balanced, feel healthier, and have reached my initial weight loss goal. My kids (10 and 13) even enjoyed a session! read more

Your Time Pilates is a gem of a place. And so affordable! I have been taking private sessions from Debbie in her cozy private space, Your Time Pilates for many years now and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. In addition to building up my muscular strength, balance, and helping fend off osteoporosis, her techniques also reinforce good posture. Debbie's background as a massage therapist enhances her expertise on targeting muscles in the body. Debbie is focused and dedicated to helping you become the best you can be! What's so remarkable is the value. You can't find private sessions in a private space at a lower price in L.A. You'll be so happy you are taking care of yourself at Your Time Pilates! read more

Working with Debbie for the past year has really changed my life and life style. I've shaped up, gone down 3 clothes sizes, firmed up, slimmed down and in general feel 100% better. She is amazing in the way she encourages me to "push the limit" farther than I thought possible with what I consider incredible results. All I can say is, "Thank You for your expertise and helping me achieve my goals!" read more

Debbie is AMAZING! She has changed my body completely. After having two kids, I'm am not only back to where I was before I got pregnant...I'm 15 pounds less! My strength and flexibility is better than ever, as well. She's super encouraging and extremely knowledgable. Plus, we have a blast... Love, love, love her! read more

I find the very personal help and direction from Debbie Randell at Your Time Pilates to be outstanding. She is knowledgeable about physiology and takes a very personal interest in building strength, healing from surgery or injuries, helping with balance and using good form in walking, standing and sitting. I love the private, cozy place....and the private lessons. I am just recovering from knee replacement surgery and have had back problems in the past, and Debbie's work with me ALWAYS has me leaving feeling stronger, having less pain and more flexibility. I highly recommend Debbie as an excellent Private Pilates trainer. read more

Debbie is a fantastic Pilates instructor. I was a bit scared to try Pilates as I had a past injury in my quads that has been made worse by seeing a very pushy personal trainer, but Debbie calmed my fears and helped me get strong to avoid future injury. My legs were insanely weak when I first started and after a mere six sessions I was doing things I hadn't done in years, plus my body was toning up and getting stronger all over. She is a great listener and instructor and tailors things to fit your body and needs. She is a great motivator and a fun instructor. Sign up for classes, you won't regret it! read more

Debbie is such a wonderful instructor. You can tell she is well trained in Pilates by the way she teaches how to do each move and explains the purpose of the move. I'm 29 and have been seeing her 2x per week since January 2016 and my body has improved. I love feeling my body getting stronger in a "subtle" way where I'm not bulking up, but it's a deeper muscle that's being strengthened. I highly recommend meeting Debbie for private one-on-one sessions to start out for a while, then expand to duo sessions if you have a friend to join you. Either way, it's actually a FUN way to workout and strengthen your body! read more

If you're interested in pilates and prefer a one on one session, this is the place to go. I've never enjoyed sharing my time with another person but the budget didn't allow the luxury of a private session. Most pilates studios are cost prohibitive for private sessions. You can only imagine how ecstatic I was to find a studio that would allow me this luxury at a cost I could afford. Of course, if Debbie wasn't the excellent instructor that she is, none of that would have mattered. The hour goes so fast because she makes it enjoyable. You're working out while talking and laughing. After almost two years of working with Debbie, she knows every single problem my aging body has developed and zeroes in on them. I find myself doing things I didn't think I could do any longer. She pushes you without being annoying about it. I have had that type of instructor in the past and was never comfortable working with them. Debbie helps you through the challenges you think you can't do and then are pleasantly surprised when you do them. I would highly recommend Your Time Pilates to anyone serious about doing pilates. It's a great workout and you feel as if you've accomplished something when you're done. Try a session. You won't regret it. read more

Debbie is an excellent Pilates instructor. She is well educated in her field. She is compassionate. She listens. She gets results! I look forward to the time we spend together and feel so much stronger which plays forward to everything in my life. Thank you Debbie! read more

Debbie is one of THE best Pilates instructors I've found in Los Angeles! If you want to really understand and get the effects of Pilates, Debby is the one to lead you. I've been involved in Pilates, in one form or other, since the mid-90s when I worked with an acolyte of Joseph Pilates. Debby has taken his work and adapted it, as it should be, to each individual she works with. Her 20 yrs. of knowledge and experience working on the human body through massage and sports injury only adds to the excellence of her work. And, naturally, results happen! She's the real thing. You won't find a better instructor in this big city of "Pilates Posers." read more

My wife has been working out with Debbie for some time now and has been pushing me to try pilates. I have a handicap that involves the nerves in my legs. Because of my limitations I've never joined a gym or wanted to take any exercise classes. I've always felt I wouldn't be able to keep up with others in the class. I finally decided to try a few pilates sessions with Debbie, more to appease my wife then anything else. Well, here I am six months later still appeasing my wife and working with Debbie. Seriously, I was more than surprised to see what I was able to do. Debbie understood my problem with it's limitation. She comes up with an excellent workout for me each time I see her. When I finish my workout, I'm glad that I did it. What I really like is that it's private. I don't have to worry about what everyone else is doing. That's very important for me. If you have any type of physical problem that you think prevents you from working out, you owe it to yourself to try a workout with Debbie. I highly recommend it. read more
