I started working out with Victoria over a year ago. She first started cooking and I was taking…read moreback but the dishes and food she made. Every dish is full of flavor and everything is made with the most nutritious vegetables. Here knowledge on food is incredible. In a short period of time I noticed a huge difference in my energy levels , my mood, my daily digestive, my skin and nails and my overall appearance. The quality of her food brought me awareness of the day to day crap food I would ate daily. I have a complete new view about what not to eat and what is good to eat. After the second or third month of Victoria cooking I started training with her. She has a wide range of workouts which makes it fun. I had suffered a work injury and Victoria was able to work with and around my injury. I'm honestly so impressed with my progress. I'm in the best shape I've ever been in my life. I've always wanted nice flat stomach and first time I have abs. I developed beautiful definition in both my back and arms. Victoria is a warm heart, she takes what she does serious and is dedicated in getting you the results you want. She didn't just train and teach me she created a whole new healthy lifestyle for me.

My body was in its worst shape from lack of activity and movement and I needed some guidance to get my health back in check. Victoria worked closely with me to rebuild my strength and confidence again. She did a great job of modifying exercises to accommodate my arm injury while still keeping the workout dynamic & fun. She also taught me a LOT about proper form, equipping me to safely do the same workouts at home. The hard work of course extended beyond our 1-hr sessions - she gave me nutritional tips and I made sure to watch my diet & daily activities. In 3 months, I lost 6 pounds, 5% of body fat, and gained a ton of muscle. I also lost 2" off my waist. Most importantly, I just feel stronger and more confident in my own skin (: Thanks Victoria!

I REALLY don't remember Pilates being so damn hard but that's probably because all my past trainers…read morelet me get away with talking the entire time, aka: the perfect way to decrease the intensity of the workout... Well, Amber is totally different and in the best way possible! Sure she will ask me how I am and we will chat a little but she won't let me stop what I'm doing, nope... I guess she doesn't care that I'm going to make salmon for dinner? ;) I've only been working out with her for about 2 weeks at this point (twice a week), and I can ALREADY FEEL & SEE a difference... Not only am I starting to see a bit more definition, but my confidence is heightening! One side effect that has really thrown me off guard though: MY CRAZY INTENSE APPETITE!!! While typically I can eat enough for a family of five, thanks to intense hour-long sessions with Amber, I now can eat enough for a family of 12 and even a little more for the family's pet dog! That being said, it's very important to fuel your hungry muscles with high quality sustenance, especially after such intense workouts. People might think Pilates is for "sissies" and is just another form of boring-ass yoga, but if you take Pilates with Amber, you'll be singing another tune... Or yelling another tune, in your head, because you're too out of breath to talk!

Ok, so my wife has been going to Amber for her Pilates training for years, but just recently, she…read moreconvinced me to give it a try. Needless to say, I was skeptical to say the least...I am a recently retired Air Force officer with over 20 years of service, 6'5" tall at 250lbs, and an avid weight lifter and runner, but Pilates, come on, really? But after seeing my wife's results and listening to her rave on and on about how great she feels, I finally caved in and decided to give it a try. Why haven't I done this sooner?!! Amber is amazing!!! As a complete novice, I needed a lot of specialized instruction, and her patience and gentle, caring demeanor were perfectly tailored to ensure my experience was second to none. Amber was able to explain and demonstrate each of the movements, as well as help my inflexible, gigantic body perform exercises/movements that I would have never thought possible. And as a result, I was able to achieve a phenomenal workout and target muscle groups I never had previously - believe me, I paid the price later...talk about muscle soreness and fatigue, but it was well worth it!! Amber has officially made this critic a fan of Pilates, and I can't imagine a better experience with anyone else!!!

I can see myself becoming stronger every week They have a diverse selection of classes. Each are about 50 minutes long. I started with 9 foundation classes before enrolling in the more advanced classes - which really helped me improve my form & learn the moves. There is no pressure to overexert yourself but more of a focus to acknowledge where you are & help you gain strength over time. Which as a semi slender couch potato with a previous car injury I truly appreciate this outlook. Overall, I've noticed my body has improved & so have my stress levels. About the studio itself: everything is new & well maintained. I appreciate the commitment to non toxic hand sani & cleaning products. The location is perfectly nestled in the Culver Art District & it is nice area to walk around after class. You barely hear the outside traffic (if there is any). It is a peaceful atmosphere. Parking is easy to find on the streets. There's a few bus stops not too far away as well.

I started working with Whitney in early 2024, after many years of battling with an irregular or…read morenonexistent fitness routine (and subsequently poor body image). As someone who did not have a strong foundation in the gym, I was looking for a trainer who could create a bespoke program and help me master form from the ground up. From day one, Whitney was encouraging, thorough, and helped me feel welcome in an environment that had at one time brought me a lot of anxiety. She was able to diagnose the muscular imbalances that were causing pain, and we set out on a routine that truly transformed my life! I, like many of us, spend a lot of time working on a computer and my posture really suffered from it. Whitney focused on strengthening and lengthening muscles that were previously pulling my head and shoulders forward, which has reduced a ton of neck & upper back discomfort and improved my posture overall. She also helped me build strength and better muscular balance throughout my lower body and abdomen. Over the 7 months we worked together, I lost 30 lbs of fat and gained 10 lbs of muscle, while also eliminating the lower back pain I had been struggling with for years. I lost 6+ inches from the areas that were causing me the most insecurity, and gained definition in my glutes, shoulders, back and legs. My time with Whitney recently came to an end after I moved to another part of town, but I would absolutely still be working with her if I could. She and Byron genuinely transformed my relationship with my body, instilled confidence and strength I had not been able to access on my own, and have laid the foundation for me to continue (and even look forward to!) a lifelong fitness journey.

I'm also an avid surfer and snowboarder and had just let my desk job get the better of me and needed a jumpstart to get back into shape and a real habit of fitness and training. And I got all of that and more. Whitney's technique-driven approach with weightlifting and focus on improving my diet helped me gain 20 lbs of muscle and lose probably 5 lbs of fat/water weight over the course of 5 months. She is a true "coach", which kept me motivated, and she cares about her client's improvements, including not just in the weight room, but outside via diet and lifestyle. It's a full 360 approach. Whitney helped me identify my greatest points of weakness (for me, legs, chest and glutes) and coached me how to properly isolate those muscle groups and I saw gains I've never realized during previous bouts of weight training. I'm very grateful to have worked with her--she has set me off on a great path to train myself now and once I plateau again I'm looking forward to returning to train with her.

Beyond being a great trainer, Jessica is just a genuinely kind and supportive person. I really enjoyed working with her and would absolutely recommend her!

Jessica is the BEST!…read more I started training with Jessica about a year postpartum after my second baby. I was nervous to begin strength training, but she made me feel so supported and educated me on the long-term benefits of building muscle -- especially for women and moms. From day one, I felt amazing after every session. My strength, confidence, and overall mindset improved week after week. Jessica helped me perfect my form, lift heavier than I thought I could, and truly understand how to train effectively. Jessica helped me achieve my goals in just a few months, and I could not be more grateful. Beyond that, she's incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, and just a joy to work with. I'm so grateful I got to train with her and will definitely continue popping in when I need that extra push. Highly, highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking to get stronger, feel better, and learn from the best!
