Love it  love it  love the Studio MDR
Megan L.

Absolutely can't say enough great things about the Studio MDR! Now I am pregnant with my 4th, BUT this is my first time doing the Lagree method pregnant. I've always been very active with the other pregnancies. However, I would have to say my pelvic floor, booty, and back feel the strongest with this 4th pregnancy, all thanks to consistently taking classes at MDR for 2 years Also, each teacher is knowledgeable with offering modifications during class for a pregnant mama

I had never heard of the mega reformer prior to coming to this studio. My friend told me she was doing the classes in MB and she goes 5 days a week! (how, I don't know lol) I'm so happy there's one here in Culver as I tried the MB location this room has a better vibe, layout and lighting. Justin and Prima have been my favorites so far but everyone at this Culver location has been truly awesome and I haven't tried everyone out yet. I can't believe how much stronger feel just coming here for 2 weeks. I enjoy this so much I feel like I have finally found my happy place that will give awesome results! From my understanding this is referred to as the Lagree method vs regular pilates. I will be checking out the Playa location for fun one day too as each place has some different extra themed classes that rotate at times. Free parking below or street. Love love!

How does this work for 70 something year old Pilates overweight beginners? Does this exist?

Hi Carol, thank you for your interest in The Studio (MDR)! This is not a traditional pilates studio. We practice a method called Lagree. We have an Intro to (MDR) and an Essentials class that are both good for beginners of all ages. People have… 

Do they have a café or juice bar?

Hi Karen, we do not have a cafe or juice bar. There are several in the surrounding neighborhood! We do sell different protein shakes, waters as well as protein bars. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Lisa

If you're a regular, do you feel like you need to still do cardio outside of these classes? I've been so traditional pilates and I definitely have to supplement my workouts with cardio.

Hi and thanks for reaching out. The Lagree Method is a dynamic workout that combines elements of pilates, strength training, and cardio. We aim to provide a high-intensity,…

This…read morewas my first time in this studio and also my first time back in Pilates after over a year hiatus. First impressions: parking was easy, studio was clean and welcoming. They have parking in the back. I chose a 7am class so we were the first class that day. I was the first one there and Danielle was very welcoming and showed me quickly what to do and how to sign in. They have a board that shows how many classes certain members have taken at the studio! The class itself was great! It was challenging but not overkill. I felt I could still do what I needed to do that day without a nap! Definitely plan on coming back!

I honestly try to come every Sunday when they teach. I've been doing Pilates for 4 years, I'm a children's yoga instructor, and I've been a ballet dancer since I was 5. With that being said, I really know what I'm doing. Gloria Yang was substituting for Victoria, and WOW, what a mistake. She was an asshole who kept correcting me in a very invasive way. I told her, "Please don't touch me anymore and don't correct me," and she continued touching me even after I told her not to. She even said, "You're doing it wrong." For the first time in years of taking Pilates, I stood up and walked out of a class. There was another person next to me who Gloria asked to put her toes on the barre. The woman said, "I can't, I lost a toe," and Gloria responded, "Listen to me, put them up." She has absolutely no empathy. She is rude, disrespectful, and has no sense of boundaries. If someone tells you NO, it means NO! She was completely inappropriate. If you truly want to continue growing and succeeding as a studio, please do not hire people like this. I am extremely disappointed and upset.

I was also a mat Pilates instructor a gang of years ago! This studio has the best choreographers. They incorporate beautiful dynamic movements that stretch, burn, and build your muscles. The instructors are also very kind and engaging and support proper posture and form while performing the movements. There are a lot of great studios in L.A. but Studio Elevate is in my top 3.

The vibes here are immaculate. In September of 2023, I decided to commit more to my practice and started taking 5 classes a week. Through these classes my body has completely transformed. I have never been this strong in my life. Because Pilates is low impact it makes coming to frequent classes sustainable and enjoyable. I used to be so overworked and stressed from high impact workouts and was never able to get the results I wanted. By being consistent at Studio Elevate I have been able to push myself in ways I never thought possible while finding peace within my workouts. Leah is a dream and her team of skilled instructors are incredible. Thank you to Krissy for helping me stay consistent and keeping me strong.

This studio is designed beautifully and the theme stays consistent with the other 2 existing studios. They offer both reformers and mat pilates in one studio! They also have plenty of cubbies for you to store your belongings and infrared saunas available for purchase. I have taken classes with various instructors at each of the 3 studios. I found that although they all have different styles of teaching, they are all challenging yet enjoyable. They are not unreasonably challenging and will offer modifications as needed. Most instructors do most of the workout with you, especially in mat pilates, and are great with hands-on correction. They also really know how to incorporate props such as the ball, ankle weights, hand weights, etc. into the workout. By far, one of my favorite pilates studios in West LA!

The infrared heat was an amazing touch and made the workout feel even more effective and rejuvenating. The class itself was challenging but enjoyable, and the overall vibe was welcoming and positive. I had a really good time and would definitely recommend Pilates Cave if you're looking for a high-quality Pilates studio in Santa Monica ‍

I've taken most of my classes at Playa Vista with Lindsey, Michelle, Samarah, Marissa(East), Megan, Jodi, Stephanie. Special shout out to Michelle for the playlist/vibes and Lindsey for the mental game. I have learned something new from each of these coaches and they do a really good job of reminding you / showing you the proper form or where you should be feeling an exercise. I would say the essentials was really helpful for getting introduced to the practice and proper form. There is an assistant coach in each of the essentials classes who model the exercise and walk around to help with your form. Shout out to Mona and Katya. It's also such a sweet treat to run into them and other coaches in the total body classes.
