Pilates near Sierra Madre

“Took a Calisthenics class with Brianne and loved the class!

The instructor and classmates were super nice. The class size was small. The instructor corrected our forms for every exercise. The class was a little challenging but it felt so good!“

“It’s a really great studio with very helpful staff! I’m loving my experience so far. It is very full and active so you need to sign up quickly and get there early for a good spot. But overall, great!“

“I am Dr. Brian’s wife and he performed Fortified CK for my reading vision 6 years ago. I refused to admit the obvious so wearing reading glasses was out of the question:) I 100% trusted him and the procedure that I had to have it - he comes home every day to this patient so it had to work :) The procedure was very easy, pain-free and I still have never worn readers to date. I’ve referred so many family and good friends to have the procedure and all have been happy!!! if you hate the idea of readers…. run don’t walk!!!“

“I absolutely love this Pilates studio! The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly make every class feel welcoming and motivating. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and creates such a positive atmosphere from the moment you walk in. It’s clear that everyone genuinely cares about the clients and their experience. I always leave feeling stronger, refreshed, and excited to come back. Highly recommend!“

“I started coming here when I was pregnant for the prenatal classes and have kept it up ever since. The instructors are great, the studio is clean, and parking is easy — everything you want in a Pilates spot.“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“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!“
