I've tried several different instructors at this studio to see who fits my vibe and I can honestly say, every instructor I've had class with has been 10/10.

I've been locked in for about 2-3 times a week for almost 2 months and my results are ... WOW! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

By far the best Pilates studio in the South Bay! All of the instructors are very knowledgeable and…read morethey have the best priced packages. I have been going to this studio for almost a year. I recently started exploring other studios to find more classes with affordable prices and times that work for me, but nothing beats Every Body's Pilates. I love that the classes are max 10 clients. Small classes allows the instructors to really cater to the clients and ensure proper form is being used, or allows for personal adjustment. Pilates has really helped me with my posture and overall core strength. I love going to a class, trying a new move and being impressed by myself that I can do it. My favorite classes are Wednesday nights with Nicole and Saturday mornings with Maki. Nicole always mixes it up and does a jump class every other week. Maki keeps a great routine for her Saturday morning newbie's class and it's a great reset for me to start my weekend with.

I've been going to this gym for years and I think I'm going to have to find a new gym…read more They often have events here which means part of the gym gets closed off and people can't access certain equipment. The issue with this, is there is usually no announcement. Posting on social media is not the same as sending email announcements and even setting up a notification on the app! When they made equipment upgrades, we weren't even notified. Imagine showing up to the gym to workout and you can't! Sometimes no one shows up when the when the gym is supposed to open, like today, which means I can't workout. It's been 30 minutes and still no one. This has happened too many times for me. A lot of us get up early to go to the gym to start our day and can also ruin workout schedules for people like me who are bodybuilding.

I'd say it's mostly young professionals in their 30s and 40s. The Redondo beach location has more of a 20s vibe and their workouts seem more geared toward that age group as well, a little more intense. This location is just right for me. I am a bit too far (25-30 min) to come here often but I do enjoy it when I can make it out. Would love for a location to open closer to North Torrance.

It's a really fun way to start your Saturday morning. She does 30 minutes of fun choreographed boxing and then 30 minutes of barre. I just tried barre sculpt with Janet K and I love her energy and attitude- she's funny, high energy, and really positive vibes that push you through class. I also tried Petra's yo-barre class on Thursdays and loved that as well. She does 30 minutes of barre followed by 30 minutes of deep stretching. I don't stretch enough so I really like her take of the yoga/barre combo. Katie's Monday night barre class is also amazing because she REALLY focuses on core. She is an incredible trainer and is so good at cue-ing your breath connected with your abdominals. Kim's step class on Mondays is SO fun. I was laughing my butt off because I was so uncoordinated. It's not only an excellent physical workout, but it works your brain a lot too. I love that Barreworks has grown and developed into so much more than a barre studio where you can still get barre, but also a lot more.

Everyone is very friendly and respectful but if you want to roll in not say anything to anyone and go to work this is also the place for that. Got a lifetime membership immediately. If I could change anything it would be a water refill station but now I'm being picky

This review is focused on the Assisted Stretching Studio inside Powerhouse Gym…read more I'm not really a gym person and had I not know Sasha my assisted stretching therapist had a location here I probably wouldn't have ever stepped inside. On my first visit I was greeted at the counter and directed to the studio. The studio is relaxing and comfortable, you hear some of the gym noise but it is not distracting. Sasha is very good at knowing how far to push you to get the most out of your session, her work is very therapeutic, after one visit my shoulder felt much better, I felt additional improvement after additional session. I didn't expect 100% improvement immediately but my shoulder feels much better, and after almost 10 years of discomfort I can't recommend Sasha enough. If you are in the gym stop in and schedule an appointment. Gym staff is friendly and helpful, they have a lot of equipment and space, and an assisted stretching studio on site for your pre or post workout stretch.

My buff friend (who may or may not be secretly carved from granite) runs this place with the precision of a Navy SEAL and the enthusiasm of a caffeinated golden retriever. They don't just train regular folks--they turn kids into pro athletes. That's right. I've seen 10-year-olds in here with more discipline than my entire adult life. These little beasts are out here doing drills, lifting weights, and running faster than my WiFi. One kid dunked a basketball, and I swear he levitated for a second. The trainers? Absolute legends. They push you to your limits but somehow make you laugh while you're sweating bullets. Every session feels like a mix of boot camp and a stand-up comedy show. If you're looking for a place where gains are made, confidence is built, and parents question their own athletic abilities while watching their kids dominate--this is it. 10/10 would recommend. Just don't challenge one of these kids to a race unless you want to get humbled in front of an entire gym.

The classes are kept small (up to 8 people) so it is an intimate and personalized experience. Students are regulars so it's community-like. The first time I went, there were three people in my class (one of which I met through another gym/classes). It felt like I was practicing with a few friends- it was challenging, energetic and comforting. We used a few mins of the class to get 1:1 time with Pam and practice anything of choice- I tried my first headstand (TWICE)! Something I wouldn't have wanted to do without an instructor next to me and not in a full intimidating class. The studio is small and very clean. There is a large parking lot. I left feeling energized, accomplished and inspired. Looking forward to my next class!

The concerning part is not just the complaints themselves, but the pattern. Different reviewers…read morecontinue describing the exact same issues: poor management responsiveness, lack of accountability, declining class quality and availability, instructor turnover, cancellations with poor communication, clique-like behavior in certain classes, and an overall dismissive customer service culture. When the same concerns appear repeatedly over a long period of time without meaningful improvement, it reflects a leadership problem. For a premium-priced membership, members should not have to deal with frequent class cancellations, instructors abruptly quitting, or reduced schedules. Multiple instructors leaving is also a significant indicator of internal dissatisfaction. High turnover rarely happens in healthy, well-supported environments. Members are paying not only for equipment access, but for consistency, professionalism, and reliable programming. Another major concern repeatedly mentioned is the atmosphere surrounding the Zumba classes. A public gym should never feel socially exclusive or intimidating. Reviews consistently describe clique behavior, territorial attitudes over spots, rude conduct, excessive noise, and instructors allegedly siding with regular groups instead of maintaining professionalism and inclusivity. That is not the type of culture a fitness business should normalize. Operationally, there also appears to be a lack of attention to member experience: canceled classes communicated only through website updates instead of direct notifications, unresolved concerns despite suggestion boxes and reviews, overcrowding issues, members occupying equipment while on phones, and complaints about cleanliness and room conditions between classes. The most disappointing aspect is that these do not appear to be new concerns. They have allegedly been ongoing for months, yet review after review suggests management remains defensive or disengaged rather than solution-oriented. Long-term customer retention cannot thrive under those conditions. People may initially join because the concept of a women's gym is appealing, but retention depends on members feeling respected, heard, welcomed, and valued consistently. Until ownership demonstrates a genuine willingness to address these recurring concerns in a meaningful and proactive way, I cannot support this business and would advise potential members to thoroughly research current experiences before committing financially.
