Pilates in Pasadena

“staff at the front desk were extremely helpful, welcoming, and friendly. intro 3 for 36 price is very fair. Instructors were also very helpful and informative of telling me the pace and expectation for the class“

“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.“

“I have been attending this studio for a month now and I LOVE it. All the instructors are so supportive and welcoming. I have not practiced hot yoga in a long time and was nervous starting the practice again and this studio is fantastic. I really appreciate the team there and it's a wonderful environment. :)“

“Paige is a fantastic instructor—she is very knowledgeable about the body, excellent at explaining and listening, and creates a comfortable environment for clients. I began lessons in late 2024 while dealing with joint pain throught my body and it is a night and day difference now. My body control has increased dramatically, my pain feels much more controllable, and I feel like I am making progress every day to a truly strong and healthy body. My work with Paige has been genuinely life changing for me.“

“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.“

“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.

2026 update: Still amazing pilates instruction and excellent equipment. Thank you, Grete!“
