I have been working with Melissa who is fabulous and so positive. I am amazed at all the exercises in her knowledge base to help whatever I need that day. Although I am sure she is great with all ages, her expertise is older adults. I am 84 with arthritis in my knees and Melissa has worked with me to strengthen my legs to take the pressure off my knees. Added to that is strength training for the whole body. I thank Whole Body and Melissa for keeping me healthy.

The good: Staff is super kind and the studio is very clean and spacious…read more The neutral: if you've done reformer anywhere else and that's what you're looking for... this might not necessarily be for you. It feels more like Pilates Mat. Of the classes I've tried, almost half the time we were on the mat. Again... it's still a workout but it's not really the reformer experience I'm used to. So depends on what you're looking for The not so good: the instructors basically stood/sat in one place the whole class. Did not walk around to see or correct anyone. During a couple of the exercises I noticed I was doing something completely different because I was at the end of the class and couldn't see her and she hadn't even come over to correct me. They don't give you any context as to what the options are (I.e we are doing leg so if you want heavier do this spring if you want lighter do that spring...) I was sort of doing a trial and error. But what really bothers me is that they start the cool down when there's still 12-13 minutes left in the class. That's more than enough time to get another exercise in and then cool down and stretch. I will continue to go to the classes cause I bought the package and because it's so close to me but again... it's not your typical Pilates reformer.

I was also a mat Pilates instructor a gang of years ago! This studio has the best choreographers. They incorporate beautiful dynamic movements that stretch, burn, and build your muscles. The instructors are also very kind and engaging and support proper posture and form while performing the movements. There are a lot of great studios in L.A. but Studio Elevate is in my top 3.

My FAVORITE Pilates studio in Los Angeles. A little over two years ago I started my journey with…read moreStudio Elevate. I fell in love with the kind teachers and warm atmosphere. The vibes here are immaculate. In September of 2023, I decided to commit more to my practice and started taking 5 classes a week. Through these classes my body has completely transformed. I have never been this strong in my life. Because Pilates is low impact it makes coming to frequent classes sustainable and enjoyable. I used to be so overworked and stressed from high impact workouts and was never able to get the results I wanted. By being consistent at Studio Elevate I have been able to push myself in ways I never thought possible while finding peace within my workouts. Leah is a dream and her team of skilled instructors are incredible. Thank you to Krissy for helping me stay consistent and keeping me strong.

Megan did a great job offering corrections during yoga sculpt without being invasive or aggressive.

Extremely disappointing experience with communication, management, and programming at the YMCA…read moreCrenshaw location. My experience with the YMCA Crenshaw location has been incredibly frustrating, particularly when it comes to management and communication. In my opinion, **Brittani has been one of the biggest problems at this location.** I originally became involved because my child was attending dance classes, and the classes were repeatedly being cancelled because of staffing issues. Brittani approached me and asked for my help building out a dance program. She explained that I would be compensated at a higher rate because I could not only help develop the dance program, but also bring my professional experience in social media strategy to help promote it. I agreed because I genuinely wanted to help. I have extensive experience in dance, program development, and social media, and I saw an opportunity to create something that would actually benefit the children and families in the community. Instead, I have spent months dealing with a lack of communication and accountability. I interviewed in June, completed the required fingerprinting/background process, taught a class, and was told there was interest in moving forward. After waiting for a response, I began following up repeatedly. At times, I was following up weekly simply trying to get a basic answer about whether the program was happening and when it would begin. That should not be this difficult. If everyone claims to love the kids. I have heard consistent complaints from employees and members about the management at this location. I initially gave Brittani the benefit of the doubt because I believe in giving people an opportunity to prove themselves. Unfortunately, my own experience has now confirmed many of the concerns I had heard. From my perspective, there seems to be a major disconnect between the image of this YMCA and what is actually happening inside the facility. There are community events and plenty of photo opportunities, but where are the consistent programs for the children? Where is the equipment? Where are the classes? Why are basic programs so difficult to get up and running? I have personally witnessed issues with classes being inconsistent, activities being unavailable, and basic things not being organized or available when they should be. When major events happen, such as the Kid Cudi mens circle event, management is front and center ready for photos. But when it comes to actually building sustainable programming for the children and families who use this facility regularly, communication seems to disappear. That raises a legitimate question: **What is management actually doing to develop this facility and serve the community? Because in the 6 Months ive been there, Brittnani has done nothing but run the facility to the ground. I also find it extremely frustrating that I was asked to invest my time, experience, and professional expertise into building a dance program, only to be left without a clear answer or timeline. It all performative nonsense and I truly believe the 1.5 million in funds that Brittani has claimed to raise (Per her very public Linkedin) for this location isn't going to the facility or the community. The YMCA is supposed to be a community resource and a third space for families. The community deserves more than photo opportunities and occasional events. They deserve consistent, accessible programming, properly managed facilities, and leadership that is actually present and responsive. I genuinely wanted to contribute something positive to the Crenshaw community. I invested my time because I believed in what this location could be. Unfortunately, this experience has left me questioning the leadership, the communication, and the overall direction of the facility. Between Brittani and Delayzio I do not know whose hurting the facility and community more. But, both of them combined, is why that location has next to nothing, and they aren't looking for solutions either.

The most bodies I've ever counted in the building was around 6, so I don't feel like I really ever have an issue being able to use any machine I want. They don't have brand new machines, they don't have all the machines LA Fitness might have, but they have all the right tools to get into and stay in shape. Cassian, the owner, is an excellent personal trainer with crazy good rates for Los Angeles, much less Beverly Hills adjacent. Also to mention is the membership fee being much cheaper than most big name gyms on the west side. Anyone leaving a bad review either had a huge ego, or didn't speak with Cassian to try and work out their issues. A+ gym.

Recently, Ashlee has begun offering a monthly option with two 35 minute classes per week and I love that option. Going from one to two weekly sessions helps me maintain my progress and even though the classes are shorter, they're just as challenging. The shorter classes are also easier to squeeze into my busy schedule and the monthly package is priced incredibly reasonably. I'd definitely recommend this option to anyone who wants to do Pilates more frequently without breaking the bank.

She really takes the time to tailor each session to your individual needs and creates a safe, non-judgmental environment to work in. She's also very responsive and flexible with scheduling, even when things come up last minute.

I look forward to every session.

Extremely disappointing customer service…read more I updated my payment information before my billing date and made sure there were sufficient funds available. Despite this, the automatic payment was not processed and I was charged a $20 late fee. I contacted the club hoping they would at least investigate what happened or offer a reasonable solution. Instead, the General Manager simply told me that it was "my problem" and "my fault." No attempt to understand the situation, no empathy, and no meaningful effort to help a paying member. What bothered me most wasn't even the $20 -- it was the dismissive and disrespectful attitude. When a customer comes to you with a legitimate billing concern, blaming them and saying it's their problem is an unacceptable way for management to handle customer service. I expected much better from Planet Fitness. After this experience, I feel completely undervalued as a member. One star for the way this situation was handled and for the General Manager's attitude toward a paying customer.

One of the major reasons is that the instructors are professional, they always ask before class for any injuries or if anyone has anything going on and will instruct individually during exercises for those needing modifications. They are clear when instructing in class and attentive when you maybe weren't listening ( guilty!). I am much stronger and more flexible than I was when I started and I have felt safe getting there. There is zero attitude here from employees or the club members. The management is very responsive and accommodating. The place is clean, instructors are knowledgeable and effective.
