Pilates near Altadena

“This review is long overdue. I've been seeing Stephanie for years. Yes, she's the best pilates teacher, but I feel that designation still doesn't describe all of what she brings. Stephanie has helped me really come home to my own body in both awareness and movement. She's truly taught me how to "use the whole system" through her playful, creative, and dynamic approach. On top of her pilates expertise, her experience and intuition about each person's unique body is a true gift. Also, she hosts AWESOME workshops with really special guests at her studio. Thank you, Stephanie!“

“I have been going to Carina’s for 3 years now. My session is an hour and starts with 10 minutes of cardio, followed by core, then arms/legs etc. A few people come in every half hour and so there ends up being around 3-6 people working out at any given time. But she prescribes different exercises for each person based on your individual strength and needs. I started going here toward the end of the pandemic because she diligently wipes down all the machine after each person uses it. One of the best things about Carina’s is she creates a very friendly and social environment. It’s the reason I have been so consistent about my two times per week! Everyone enjoys talking to each other and I look forward to catching up with my new friends all the time! She offers sessions Mon/Wed evenings and most mornings.“

“To start… woah. I was so pleasantly surprised. I’m still new to yoga but very experienced in working with different instructors. Sara was incredible - both in her energy as well as her knowledge. I genuinely experienced new levels of alignment and connection - just - so supportive. Plus, the view from Colorado Blvd. is the best bonus ??“

“Lifestyles for Health Physical Therapy - Cindy's clinic, gave me the comfort and mobility that I was very fearful of not having after a trip and fall injury to my arm. My therapist, Shiva, made the entire process so much more comforting and welcoming. She made sure that in all aspects of recovery, I was secured. Each exercise was explained, and most importantly, she made sure to ask how I felt before and after the treatments. You would never leave your appointment without feeling better.“

“I started going to Made By at the beginning of January this year and have been going consistently on an average of 5-6 days a week and in 4 months my body has changed so much. I absolutely love it! I love the cozy and intimate environment at Made By and all the teachers bring something different to ensure there’s a balanced experience for the body. Would highly recommend!“

“I've been to many different physical therapists in my lifetime, but no one has ever been as good as John M. at Tyler. Hands down, he is absolutely the best -- his vast knowledge, ability to explain things and therapeutic approaches are second to none. He's intuitive, energetic and very personable. I've been going to John at Tyler for PT on my shoulder and my hip, and I'm seeing excellent results. I've also worked with Austin, the occupational therapist at Tyler, who has been very helpful and a pleasure to work with. One thing I really appreciate about Tyler PT is that they schedule you in for an entire hour with your therapist. Most of the other PT places I've been too shuttle you from one person to another, there's a lack of continuity and I think that negatively affects the quality of care. Not so at Tyler -- their one-on-one approach creates focused and intensive PT sessions that I find immensely helpful. The front office person is also quite helpful and very competent. I highly recommend Tyler PT, and especially John M.“

“The instructors are all extremely knowledgeable and really focus on what you need to become fit. It is a friendly and pleasant atmosphere with a great variety of Pilates equipment available. After a serious injury I have made great strides since starting classes here. I highly recommend the Pilates Bodyshop.“

“WOW! Julianna is a great teacher. I'm a beginner in Pilates and never stick with a exercise routine, I'm excited to go to her classes!“

“I have been coming to Mary for two years now. She is the best! This is not your regular pilates. She always has something new and fun to add to the session. She is also a healer, and I am great for that! She helped me with some emotional pain and suffering I went through the past two years. This is THE best place if you want to strengthen your body and mind!“

“Back in September my daughter announced that she wanted a Quinceañera for her 15th birthday in June - this meant she and her court of 5 couples had to learn a waltz and a surprise dance. I called a few studios in the La Crescenta area and Ani was the only one who provided classes for Quinceañeras and she did not disappoint. She was professional, friendly, patient, great with kids, and worked around their schedules. My daughter picked her two songs and Ani choreographed a beautiful waltz and a really fun mambo that let all the kids shine and highlighted the Quinceañera. The kids had a blast learning them (took about 7 - 8 classes) and performing them at the party. If you are looking for dance classes for a couple or for a group I HIGHLY recommend Ani!!!!“

“Dr. Betty is a true healer. Her approach is holistic – she offers cupping and tuning fork therapy along with the physical adjustments you'd expect from a chiropractor. Her energy is both gentle and confident; it's clear that she has years of experience and knowledge under her belt. She approaches pain/discomfort/disease at the level of the nervous system, acknowledging all of the factors that can impact us on a physical level – so what she's offering goes deeper than just symptom relief. Highly recommend!“

“Outstanding since it first opened! Never disappoints. Javier ... owner... has been with Le Studio from the beginning.“

“When it comes to learning a new exercise, I am a true believer in one on one sessions. Whether it be weight-lifting, yoga, Pilates, running, or swimming; learning the correct technique and form is crucial to the success and effectiveness of the exercises. Even though I am a runner, I noticed that my core was very weak. While I have done quite well living with my scoliosis, I realize that my body is changing as I age and I am starting to feel minor lower back pain occasionally. I've always wanted to try Pilates, but just didn't know where to start. I search Pilates in Monrovia, CA on Google and found. One2One PT. I read Nancy Tsai's bio and felt very confident and personable about the private environment and decided to give it a try! I contacted Nancy and she had referred me to her instructor and colleague Evie Sahagun. I have been with Evie for over 20 private sessions, and I absolutely love my instructor. Evie is very knowledgeable in Pilates, very personable and attentive to every details of my forms. I cannot stress enough the importance of having the correct forms in Pilates and I want every session to be effective in transforming my core. Two major deciding factors for me are the environment's ability and the instructor's ability to provide an attentive session for me. I am very happy to say that with the combination of Pilates and chiropractic care, my scoliosis went from a 28 degrees curvature to a 20 degrees curvature. Even my chiropractor was shocked at the improvement it has made. I highly recommend One2One PT!“

“Paige has helped me to transform my body!! My posture, core strength and flexibility have never been better. She customizes the program to my body’s needs, and no two work outs are the same. She is positive and challenging, and our work outs are a highlight of my week. Thank you Paige - excited for what’s to come!!“

“I've pretty much shopped all around town and the San Gabriel Valley and have concluded that if you want to learn the classical Pilates method this is best studio hands down. Lara has been my private instructor for some time and is very well versed in how the body moves, she's able to activate muscles other instructors weren't able to. Her keen eye and detailed feedback fosters precision in correct movement. Tom's group classes have also been very effective in helping me get better at Pilates. Tom is a great group instructor, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I think he offers privates too.“

“So let's start off by saying I have taken two classes so far and I'm hooked. I was hooked after the first one and was told about a Groupon deal and jumped right on it.“

“Grete Gryzwana, the owner of True Pilates Pasadena, is one of the best and most experienced classical pilates instructors in Los Angeles. She knows how to motivate her students to work out with focus and precision. I have become stronger and have healed minor strains and injuries under Grete's expert instruction. True Pilates Pasadena also maintains their Gratz apparatus in impeccable condition, and it makes a difference to work out on such well-maintained equipment.“

“I have been training with Femmie (owner/instructor) for over 1.5 years. This is a boutique studio with 4 reformers only. The personalised attention is next to none. Femmie meets you where you are at. No class is ever the same. The community of students are wonderful. I highly recommend UMove Pilates!“

“I highly recommend Pilates Pasadena. I came in seek of pain relief after a bad car accident. Severe pain in my back running down my leg. I thank Kathy , today I have no pain after some fascia sessions. She also works on pets. Parking available on the street.“

“My smart and knowledgable friend told me that "Sylviane is the best trainer I've ever worked with in my life." That ringing endorsement is what led me to sign up with a one-on-one program with her. I have to say, I pick good friends. He is right.Other trainers I've worked with seem to still be working out their masculinity issues or think that an Army-inspired barking & shaming actually is motivating. Can't we do better?With Sylviane you get none of that. What do you get then?Somewhere in the rarely traveled space between Bruce Lee and Mary Poppins is Sylviane. You get a person who is an absolute master at her craft, and a mature human being who is totally comfortable with herself. She is a world champion (literally, not metaphorically) athlete, as well as a martial arts practitioner, and a truly excellent teacher. It's a rare person who can combine technical expertise with a skillful ability to instruct others. She is patient, funny, charming and a sincere pleasure to work with. You get someone with years of experience who brings a keen perception and sophisticated approach to her client's needs. Not only do I see my posture, muscular development and overall body strength steadily improving, we do it at pace that is sustainable and enjoyable.“

“I love this place. Great classes, great instructors. A really good place to workout and heal and strengthen. A good variety of classes!“

“kelsey is amazing! absolutely loved her control class & she was really patient and attentive to everyone ?“

“My favorite boutique studio in Montrose. LAGREE just hits the body different. I love the new location on Honolulu with plenty parking and nearby all the shops. The studio is so modern, spacious, and there are 15 megas!!!!! Studio offers water dispenser and has a bathroom too. The workout is hard so try all the instructors and find your fave. Jasmine just knows how to torch your muscles, Stephanie W gave me a slower burn (had shakes after class), and Cereza the owner knows how to make you sweat… she is just the kindest soul ? careful you’ll get addicted…“

“I have been attending private classes with Jaqueline for a year and a half. She is master of her talent and able to guide you through different Pilates sequences depending on your needs. Jaqueline is communicative with scheduling, She confirms appointments and allows flexibility on days and times throughout the week. She motivates you through the process and her intentions are to help you obtain your very own fitness goals. The studio is clean and quaint with accessible parking. Thank you Jacqueline I'm so glad I found you. You are truly a gem!“
