This was my first visit to Tribe Pilates, and it won't be my last! Beautiful Pilates studio and I enjoyed my session. I even got a new cool pair of grip socks. I have never worn socks for Pilates before, but l understand keeping the reformer clean for others. This is definitely going to be my new favorite local neighborhood studio. Instructor was great and I loved the flow. It was just what my body needed. Can't wait to book another class! read more

Tribe Pilates - Quote on the wall! - Pilates Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I've taken a few classes here so far and always leave feeling amazing! The instructors have been consistently friendly, welcoming, and attentive each time. The small class size is a big plus, as it allows for more opportunities to receive individual corrections. Everything from the reformers and props to the studio itself are clean and well maintained. I would recommend giving yourself extra time for parking in the evenings since the metered spots tend to fill up. There is nearby parking in the surrounding neighborhoods, but it's permit only after 6pm. read more

I sent an email asking for information about a total beginner class. I was advised to take the Feel Good Flow class. I arrived early to let the instructor know, but was left on my own with very little guidance. I tried to just follow along, however, I injured my back. I think they should either have an introduction class for total beginners or suggest a private class otherwise you're going to end up not feeling great. read more

Honestly I was hesitant about this studio at first. I'm a total beginner and I was super intimidated about starting pilates as I wouldn't consider myself an athletic person by any means. My first feel good flow was super intense and I felt like throwing up towards the end (but this was on me for not knowing my limit!) I went to a second feel good flow with Savannah! Absolutely the sweetest and she made the pilates class feel super inviting and welcoming. She helped me a few times throughout the class and helped explain some beginner things! Her class really encouraged me to come back again! I would definitely say if you're a beginner to aim to get a Feel Good Flow class with Savannah! read more

I love it here. It's so dependable and perfect for all phases of my workout journey- whether I'm trying to rebuild my body or am at my best and want to get stronger. Carly, Grace, and Sarah C are amazing! They give a great challenge and push and I leave feeling like I got an effective workout. But Tuesdays with Carly are definitely a must for me. I especially appreciate how she changes her routine with every class and keeps things fresh. read more

Love Tribe! Carly is the best! Her instruction is clear and easy to follow. She pushes you to get stronger and is really fun! Highly recommend her classes! read more

One of my favorite studies in Santa Monica! Perfect balance of challenging but supportive

I can't say enough good things about Tribe! I've visited both locations and I'm always blown away by the quality of the instructors and their attention to technique and detail. Love the intimate classes and the community; too! read more

My first reformer experience ever was at a Jump and Reform class with Emily. Having done a lot of mat pilates in the past, the class was definitely manageable, though Emily was wonderful and came over to help a few times when I was doing moves incorrectly. Jump and reform is a unique experience that incorporates elements of cardio. Portions of the class almost felt like a barworks class on my back. Already feeling a bit sore, which goes to show the impact of the workout! The studio is nice, well maintained, and clean. There was a good playlist going on in the background that the teacher put on during class. read more

Favorite Pilates studio!!!! I go everyday to studio city location. I love Ashley's class because it's intense but still great breath work !! Love her read more

I was in search of a Pilates studio that would speak to me before I signed up as I've had hip replacement surgery, Trine was they ONLY studio to reach out, explain the process. I'm loving Pilates and Sami is a very talented understanding instructor. Highly recommend Tribe. read more

I have been coming to this studio since February. I was a total beginner and very nervous to start. But my experience here has been incredible. I go 3-4 times a week and have had multiple instructors. All of them great in their own teaching style. And the environment from the other people in class is great and I've never felt intimidated uncomfortable. All types of people are in the classes from super fit to older to beginners like myself. The pricing is very fair for the SM area, easy to get to, and any time I have needed to reach out to the owners for any issue they are extremely responsive and helpful. I always recommend Tribe Pilates to friends. read more

I first came to Tribe in 2019, became a regular during the pandemic, and still go at least twice a week. I love all the instructors, especially Hannah, Emily, and Sami. The owners, Emily and Kris, are just wonderful - this is one of the very best businesses I patronize. They recently opened a second location in Studio City and I could not be happier for them. Amazing studio with a welcoming vibe. read more

I downloaded this app just for this review. First, I'd like to say that the instructors are lovely. Absolutely wonderful. You'll always get a good workout after each session. However, their website/payment system needs serious fixing. I originally payed for the one month special and, at the time, I was unaware that it was an automatic payment plan-- they make no mention of the membership being automatic plan on anywhere else BUT the terms of conditions. Of course they know that people are less likely to check the TOS, so they capitalize on that. When my card was charged for another month, I logged in to the site to cancel. There's not an option to cancel on the site so you need to call, leave a voicemail (they don't pick up the first time), and wait for a call back. The same way I payed for a membership, I should be able to cancel. But, they make it extra tedious for one to do so. Anywho, I get a call back and the person allegedly canceled my membership. Great. The following month, I get charged yet again for the membership. At this point, it has become a hassle to get rid of them. I log on to the site and attempt to delete my bank information but they do not allow you to delete it. It stores it. I call, yet again, to cancel and to have my account deleted. I receive a call back and, hopefully, I don't have to deal with this ever again. read more

Such an awesome studio! It is super clean and beautifully decorated - very warm and welcoming. I used to be a die-hard lagree method freak (almost 10yrs) and then I realized late last year that my body is changing and I need to incorporate a different style of pilates....and that is when I discovered this little gem! I have only been able to take class with a few of the instructors but I have liked every single one of them. I like the variety of classes offered - "fully body ignite" is perfect for a challenging sequence and then "feel good flow" is perfect for those days you want to take it easy but still get a good workout in. The machines and other equipment are in great condition. Parking in the area doesn't seem to be an issue - there is always street parking available on the street or parking in the neighbor side streets (just be careful to read the parking signs). I really like Emily and Sami (very clear instructions and amazing sequencing) - I can't wait to try classes with the rest of the instructors. I highly recommend this studio! read more

I live in the neighborhood and thought I would give Pilates reformer a try. I bought the intro offer 3 classes for $50. Monday I took transform level 1 and today I took the booty and stems class. Transform level 1 the instructor gave very clear instructions as I am a newbie I really appreciated her patience! Booty and stems I felt very challenged but in a safe and effective way. I can't wait for my third class. Cute studio, great workout, I'll be back soon! read more

Great workout - love the teacher/owners! If you're looking for a core, overall body strengthening workout, check out this studio. The reformer machines give you just the right amount of resistance to challenge the regular Pilates movements. Ask for Emily if you have questions, she's so sweet and knowledgeable. read more

Favorite studio! As a veteran ClassPass member I've taken over 818 classes in LA and Santa Monica. Tribe Pilates stands out as the best.

Tribe Pilates - Pilates Near Me - Santa Monica, California

The classes here are a part of my new weekday routine! Since I have started (two weeks) I notice a straighter back and and flatter stomach. Jennifer and Celia are great teachers , very helpful and always something new. I definitely feel challenged but supported since I am completely new to Pilates . Very clean and modern studio with a friendly vibe. read more

I cannot rave enough about this studio -- tribe Pilates has truly saved me now that I am pregnant for the first time. They've brilliantly moved 5 reformers to their outdoor parking lot so that we can continue to workout safety during these crazy times. Emily is insanely talented and never ceases to challenge us, and I have been going consistently for the past few months now. All other instructors are great too. I am feeling so much stronger and confident thanks to this studio; it's actually the thing I look forward to the most when I wake up in the morning. Side note: this studio is also the definition of family run business -- Emily and Kris are an honest hardworking couple. All around great vibes with this place. Thanks tribe Pilates for everting you give us! read more

I have been going to classes for over a month now at Tribe pilates. It's a great place to get the workout done and also to stop and pause to focus on your mind and body. All the instructors are amazing and check for form and provide modifications if needed. I especially want to give a shoutout to Carly, Makena and Sibyl. Carly's energy is infectious and always motivates me to do better. She is always upbeat and makes class fun and I always look forward to her classes. Makena and Sibyl are amazing, their exercises are well thought through and has a great flow. I've already recommended this place to my friends read more

As good as it gets! I'm hooked! I moved to Santa Monica in February just a few blocks from this gorgeous new studio, and the best thing that happened since is Tribe's opening! Emily and Kris are attentive and friendly owners, and the instruction ensures safe and proper alignment to prevent injury while also kicking serious a**. The instructors are the best in town, and the studio is immaculately clean and smells amazing of essential oils. The Balanced Body machines and props are kept in perfect shape, and the class repertoire varies so it never gets boring. I'd recommend trying all of the classes (Jump and Reform, Arms and Abs, Booty and Stems, Level 1 and 2), and check them all out! You will love it, and get individualized corrections and advice being that they don't over-pack the studios with reformers (there are only eight of them!) Thanks for adding this gem to the Santa Monica fitness scene! read more

I found this plan on a whim. I can't say enough good things. The studio is clean. The staff is friendly. Haven't had a bad class...ever. I walk, but there's always metered parking available out front. If you're on the fence, you should try this place. You won't regret it. read more

I just recently started doing Pilates to help with soreness and tightness from cycling. The instructor at my first few private classes and the instructors at the group classes have been great. As a male, It's a little intimidating starting Pilates but Tribe has been more than helpful getting me up to speed quickly. read more

I visited Tribe this weekend and had a great experience. The studio was beautiful, calm and welcoming. Celia taught my class - and my abs were sore in the best way for 3 days following. She was super friendly and knowledgeable. Loved the flow, the environment and the energy. Great spot! read more

Chic clean and beautiful with all new equipment. I love Emily and have been following her from other studios as I truly see results after every class. Her exercises are effective and she is hands on and makes sure your form is correct. I can honestly say she completely transformed my body since I started working with her. Highly recommend as one of the best reformed pilates class in town and top on my class pass list!!!! read more

I've had an ongoing lower back issue from a car accident, and Tribe Pilates is really helping get me back into it. Every instructor has been empathetic, knowledgeable, and helpful offering modifications etc. Personally, I've found pilates to help more than physical therapy or acupuncture, and it's lessened pain in my shoulders as well. I should give the disclaimer that I came in with almost a year of physical therapy and a pretty good idea of what I needed/needed to avoid, so I could be a responsible client. All this positive change, and my butt looks adorable! Thank you Tribe. read more

This place was awesome! Super close to SMC so it was really easy to get a workout in after my class. I took a class with Emily and she kicked my A$$, butt in the best way possible! Pun Intended! I'll definitely be back here again. read more

Just had my first session here with Emily and I could not be more happy! I'm postpartum 2 1/2 months and have been doing cardio at the gym weekly but have struggled to figure out the right exercises to strengthen my core again. Emily was so patient with me as I'm a total beginner at Pilates reformer. She gave me the best workout I've had in sooo long! I left shaking, feeling amazing, and strong again. Can't wait to take more classes here and really start to see a difference. Now I know why everyone raves about the reformer, it really is the best full body workout. Definitely will be recommending Tribe Pilates to my friends/family. Emily is so sweet, great area, easy parking, and such a gorgeous vibey studio! So excited to be a part of the tribe!! read more

I love this studio! Its clean, it's cute, they have new reformers, and the instructors are all nice and give you a great workout! I need to modify a lot because of my neck and vertigo and they're always helpful. I also love that they welcome well behaved doggies! I've been to several studios and have found my tribe! read more

Tribe transformed the way I work out. Could not be happier I stumbled into the studio a couple months back. I highly recommend taking a class! read more

I love everything about this place! I signed up with classpass and tried almost dozen pilates studios on the west side and none of the places compare to Tribe Pilates. The instructors are amazing and all offer different experiences. The space is modern, refresh, and has a relaxing atmosphere. Most importantly the workout is amazing. After each workout session I walk out knowing I pushed my body little more. I practiced Hatha Yoga for 3 years, moved to Bikram yoga for 8 years, then decided to do kickboxing for 3 years. Finally I am here at Tribe pliates which gives me the perfect balance of cardio, weights, and flexibility. read more

Super cute studio with boho vibes ! The staff was very knowledgeable and welcoming ! I was also very pleased with their prices for their sessions/ packages very affordable ! This is definitely my new favorite pilates studio ! The class also really pushed me past my limits as I feel like I will be able to achieve my fitness level goals here ! Can't wait for my next session ! So happy to have found a new pilates studio in my neighborhood with great instructors, price points and a beautiful ambience ! Thanks Tribe Pilates ! read more

Love, love, love this place. The studio is beautiful and immaculate. The teachers are really amazing and there's a wonderful community! I just took Sherry's Booty and Stems class yesterday and she will give you a killer workout. I'm taking Emily's Advanced Technique today, which is a great all-body workout. And be sure to try Happy Hour on Fridays. Emily brings in her super cute puppies Teddi and Bear to the studio and everyone gets a glass of champagne after class. Does it get better than that?!? read more

Love this place! Clean and modern, plenty of parking in the neighborhood. Dog friendly! I've been doing martial arts and power lifting/functional training for most of my life and Emily never fails to safely challenge my skills. I trained with her consistently a few years back as she helped me through some minor injuries and as well with my posture from being at a desk all day. One of the best active recovery/strength workouts you can get! I went for the grand opening and my abs were nice and sore for a good couple days. Highly recommended. read more

Updating my review in light of the time the team took to reach out to me. I appreciate it.

Tribe is awesome! I've taken a bunch of classes with Emily, Sherry, and Celia - they will kick your butt in the best way possible!! I like this studio more than others in the area because it's cute, clean, and low-key with easy street parking. read more
