I lost 17lbs of pure body fat in my first 4 months at Novo Body. If you listen to Miguel's instructions on nutrition and pair it with his strategies around weightlifting, you will see success. It is very apparent who in his studio follows his formula because the fat literally falls off of their body within months. If you're serious about seeing change and developing lifelong healthy habits or if you want to become more serious (and safe) about lifting weights, this is the place for you.

After only two months of working with him, I shed pounds faster than I ever have and strengthened muscles I never knew were weak to begin with.

More importantly, I feel I've made genuinely sustainable, healthy lifestyle changes. And as a nice added bonus, I truly look forward to our in-person sessions every week because Alina is just an all-around lovely human and a joy to be around.

She's very encouraging, and incredibly intuitive in how she tailors each training session- motivating and challenging with proper technique and form I began training with Alina weekly and, thanks to her guidance, I now train with her twice a week. Because of her training, I recently completed a 9 mile hike and felt strong, energized and proud of my endurance. I haven't felt this good in a long time, and I credit that to Alina's expertise and commitment to my growth. Thanks, Alina for building my strength and confidence.

"Body By Paulo" is such a great find, and has been such an amazing blessing in my life! I would…read morehighly recommend this studio to anyone! I have been exercising regularly for more than 35 years, and have been practicing Pilates for 13 years. I did Pilates for 12 years at a health club in the San Fernando Valley, and have been doing Pilates and Barre Class with Paulo at "Body By Paulo" since July 2016. I can honestly say that my one year of Pilates Classes and Barre Classes with Paolo has far surpassed the entire 12 years of Pilates I did elsewhere! Paulo, who owns and operates this wonderful studio, is very knowledgeable and experienced at instructing both Pilates and Barre. He custom designs and facilitates every class uniquely, and is an expert at what seems like a million different ways of using the Reformer and the various Pilates and Barre props we use. He carefully orchestrates the choreography of each and every exercise, and he gives individualized attention by setting up and checking every student for correctness of position and execution, even when all eight beds are occupied. To keep it fresh and interesting, he changes the choreography of each class on a weekly basis. And, to top it off, he always plays wonderful music that is very motivating. Paulo is absolutely amazing, and has helped me so much! When I started with Paulo, my strength had been reduced pretty significantly due to a year off from regular exercise leading up to, and then as a result of, my hip replacement surgery. The kindness and patience Paulo had with me during my post-hip-replacement recovery was extraordinary! In addition to Paulo always making sure that everyone in class was positioned right and doing their exercises correctly like he normally does, he always took extra special care to make sure I was doing the exercises correctly at all times, and he constantly monitored and corrected my posture, as needed. He was also very supportive, uplifting, and encouraging. As a result of my consistent hard work and Paolo's amazing help, I got back to where I had been before the surgery when I had been working out on a regular basis, and at this point, I have honestly even exceeded it. I'm very grateful. I happen to enjoy a clean environment, so I'm happy to report that the beds at "Body By Paulo" are sanitized after every class by each student, and are also cleaned on a regular basis by Paolo's staff. The cost of Paulo's classes is reasonable and affordable, and parking is ample and free. If you're looking for a great exercise studio for Pilates and Barre Classes, with an expert instructor who also genuinely cares, then look no further, because "Body By Paulo" should be your first choice! Highly, highly recommend!

This is a great sudio with great space. I come here Tuesday nights for weekly Bellydance class…read more If you're a lady and have not tried bellydancing, you must. First off, it's an amazing workout, so much fun, and there are no restrictions in body size when doing this style of dance. it's actually encouraged if you have a little extra somethin somethin to you. You use muscles you never knew you had, it's upbeat, and who doesn't love shaking their booty. Tonight we even had a live Darbuka (arabic drum) player. It was fantastic. Margallete Yosef is the teacher. She is one of the most incredible bellydancers I have seen in America. I love that belly dance teaches us that we are all perfect in our own way. t's more than fitness and fancy costumes. It is a path to wholeness. It develops our individuality within a creative social community. The movements are metaphors for healthy living. Our life, like belly dance, is full of circles and cycles, waves that come and go, and the occasional shimmy/shake-up. Belly dance differs from other dance forms because there are no limitations on body type or age. It is based on a sisterhood of support and encouragement. Once you have belly danced I truly believe that it resides in you forever. It is a lifetime study and you can never know or master it all. In terms of the actual studio, I believe it's normally used as a gym for personal training and pilates. The gym has different machines, including treadmilles, elliptical, stairs, free weights, the pulling bands, abs ball, and even a mini trampaline. There's a seperate dance room where we dance. Full mirrors and hardwood floor. I believe you can also rent this studio. I'm not sure the cost but if you are a dance teacher or personal trainer and need a studio, this place should be a place to be looked at.

There are so many positive, amazing qualities to Dina and it's difficult to pick my favorite but if…read moreI absolutely HAD to choose it would be that she is genuinely caring. She is one that pours her heart and soul into anything she does which is why she is so amazingly multitalented. I've seen her in her many elements and can attest that whichever you choose to hire for; she'll exceed any expectations. Her bartending skills are great! She is quick, efficient, kind, patient and can hold her own under pressure for sure! As a trainer, she makes sure to tend to your needs and has a true desire to understand your needs and goals and helps make plan to meet them. Did I mention she is so amazing with kids?! She is patient and truly knows how to level with them and has a fun, gentle and positive approach. Another positive aspect is that you can be sure any of these services can be provided in the safety of your own home; which is extremely comforting during these times. So whatever it is you need assistance with; there are few that are as great as Dina is. She is a true gem and you'd be lucky to work with her.

I usually go to the Beverly Hills gym but they are renovating our building (shared with Equinox) so I decided to get a membership close to home since I've been working remote since Dec 2024. I believe most Equinox gyms have a standard and this meets it. It's a bit smaller than the Beverly Hills gym but it gets the job done. They have the same amenities as the Beverly Hills gym and the staff is just as nice. Upon arrival you will always be greeted with a smile and the people at the front desk are always welcoming and helpful. I go early in the mornings but would love to go later just to try their smoothies. Parking is hassle free when I go and I haven't had any issues. I have not showered there yet since I live 5 mins away, so I can not comment on the change of soap and shampoo products people have had an issue with. Overall, I love Equinox, the people, the service, the convenience and the locations are perfect. I do wish the hours on the weekends were the same as the weekdays so I could get my early morning workouts in before the kids early morning soccer games. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros

When I started filming for my own safety, management threw *me* out instead of addressing the harassment. No one ever reached out -- I went back on my own to speak with management, and they told me my membership might be revoked. I felt unsafe, singled out, and discriminated against for my political views. As a paying member who always respected the space, I expected better. This location failed to protect me and punished me for defending myself. Think twice before joining if you care about fairness or inclusivity. Update: a rude district manager has since called, not to hear about what happened or to offer help, but to revoke my membership. I wouldn't feel safe going back here regardless, but it was disappointing to hear that even he was perpetuating the toxicity of the situation.
