Amazing Pilates instructor Linda Rabadi has opened her own studio taking over ownership of Equilibrium Fitness! She provides individualized private and group classes for all ages and abilities which are not cookie cutter routines. Linda begins by asking each person "what do you want to work on today?" and "do you have any injuries, pain?" And then she pulls from her vast experiences across six continents to put together a session that works for everyone. During the class Linda pays attention to form and ability to make corrections and modifications to maximize the exercises. And she provides information about the muscles and structures that are involved. Linda has worked with individuals with chronic illnesses, specific injuries, and different stages of life to help us achieve our goals. All of this with an engaging and positive personality. I and many others have followed Linda from studio to studio and are thrilled that she has opened Bamboo Control Pilates! Additionally, Linda has updated and refurbished the mat and reformer rooms making an inviting and inspiring atmosphere. read more

The new ownership under Bamboo Control Pilates is a blessing!

Knowledgeable with an expertise skill set like no other; indeed the best in town. She's been my teacher for over 10yrs. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed. read more

Linda has helped me immensely. She has reduced back pain that I had from surgery by building up my core. Pilates has also dramatically strengthened my quads to where they were 10 years ago. She is very sensitive to your individual body needs and has the skill set to work on the necessary parts of your body as opposed to one size fits all. I highly recommend her with private sessions or a class. read more

Had a fun private session with Linda! She is an expert pilates instructor and so sweet! It was easy for her to accommodate the exercises to fit my goals! read more

Linda is an amazing Pilates instructor for mat, reformer, and all the various other tools we use in training. I've worked out with her for over 4 years. I love Linda's new studio in La Verne - it's clean and restful with lots of training "toys." No one will be bored! Linda appeals to all ages and levels of fitness. As a senior, I find her very helpful for flexibility, balance and strength. read more

Linda customizes every class to your needs. I am 60 yrs old and have been doing Pilates since I was 53; it is the best thing for health and strength. Linda Rabadi is hands down the best instructor I've encountered so I have followed her wherever she teaches. Her studio has every sort of equipment one might want or need and a range of classes alongside friendly, non-competitive people. read more

Very clean facility! Angela is great for Pilates and I love the body sculpt work out! im 1.5 months in to going here and I am loving it!

This is a review of Bamboo Control Pilates and Linda, the new owner. (Previously it was Equilibrium Fitness, but I did not go there.) I am an older man with quite a few physical problems, including multiple surgeries to repair joints, fix a hernia, etc. I have been in and out of PT for many years, along with injections for pain management. About 2 years ago I started going to Linda for Pilates, and followed her when she purchased Bamboo. I have worked with several instructors, and Linda is by far the best I have encountered. After attending Linda's classes for some time, I was able to stop going to PT and getting injections, and just take her classes. She learns about your needs and limitations and designs classes to maximize benefits while avoiding harm. Her instructions in class just make sense and are easy to follow, while providing a lot of detail about the purpose of the activities. She has extensive experience as an instructor, and knowledge about many aspects of health. Personally, she is simultaneously professional and friendly, highly respectful of what you might or might not share about yourself, and cares about your physical and mental wellbeing. I give her a lot of credit for the fact that I am in much better shape now to both enjoy my life and do my job better than a few years ago. She has redesigned the interior of Bamboo, and the instructional rooms are clean, inviting, and functionally excellent. I strongly recommend attending her classes to keep yourself strong, flexible, with less pain, and able to enjoy life. I wish I had started working with Linda much earlier! read more

I came here through ClassPass to try Mat Pilates for the first time. The studio is tucked away in the corner of a plaza, but still easy to find. The first thing I noticed was that the air had a musty smell -- kind of like an old carpet -- which made the space feel a bit stuffy and dusty. It was also pretty warm inside. That said, the instructor, Amy, was lovely! The flow of the class was smooth and easy to follow, but still provided a solid workout. I really appreciated that Amy took the time to correct our form and offer hands-on guidance throughout the session. I learned a lot from the class and even picked up some great stretching techniques to use at home. My spine and back felt so relaxed afterward! read more

Discovered this center through ClassPass and have taken a few mat pilates classes with Angela. I love that she is doing the entire workout with us. She is so encouraging, motivating, and I love her music playlist. She also adjusts the workout based on your strength and ability which I truly appreciate. Can't wait to continue going to get stronger and tone my body! read more

Very nice experience I took functional pilates for the first time through class pass, it's a nice place that is clean and organized. I would definitely come again read more

Just had my 2nd reformer class here and I am so glad I came to this place. I used to go to a different studio...I should have just spent my money here. The instructors George and Kevin are excellent! They really challenge you, but keep the classes light and fun. I've never sweat this much in a pilates class! Highly recommend!!! My husband also goes to George for his back issues and he says he already feels a marked improvement in his back. After just one reformer class!!! Place is clean and people are friendly. For pilates, this is best place to go! read more

My husband and I attended Equilibrium's pilates mat body sculpt class this past Saturday, which was held outdoors at a local park due to COVID restrictions. Of course we would pick the hottest day of the year to attend an outdoor class lol but it was well worth it. The instructor, Lauren, was nice and made me feel very comfortable...she explained everything clearly she made the class challenging but not so challenging that it was impossible to keep up, which always leaves me feeling like I've wasted my time and money whenever I attend a class like that. We liked the class so much that we are already planning to go back for another one. We're also interested in some of the other classes that Equilibrium offers but we're not sure because we don't really know much about different types of pilates lol. If we feel brave enough to do so, I'll be sure to update my review to reflect that. read more

Clean, instructor was nice. They had reformers but be I used my class pass I was unable to use the reformer. I would go back.

Angela is the BEST Pilates instructor! I haven't worked out in a few years but she got me addicted!! She should have her own studio! Take her class, you won't be sorry!!! read more

The best pilate studio and super friendly environment!! George Taylor great instructor. read more

Taylor and George are really nice. Since it's small class, they are attentive to everyone of us. Workout is great, it enhance my balance and strength. read more

Have been going to Equilibrium fir months. Live the reformer pilates classes. Recently Taylor has been our instructor and she is utterly fabulous she shows you how to sit correctly and how to breathe right. Very impressed with her teaching skills. It is always clean in there all the instructors to date have been nice would recommend Taylor and equilibrium to anyone interested in either reformer pilates or floor pilates.

I had been wanting to try Pilates for a couple of years, & about 4 months ago I finally decided to invest in myself & give Pilates a try. Well, I'm now hooked! I LOVE this place because the classes are small, which then makes it easy for the instructor to ensure that everyone is using correct posture, breathing, etc. In previous years, I've tried other forms of exercise, but have never fully enjoyed "gym" workouts, hence I'd stop going to the gym. However, with Pilates ~ it's my favorite part of my day...I look forward to the workout. Most of the reformer classes I've attended have been with Taylor who is knowledgeable, patient, explains what a pose should feel like when first teaching a new pose/exercise...and makes me feel very comfortable & at ease. I've also attended a couple of classes with George who is also great. Taylor once said something that helped me with the poses, "it's a body & mind connection", & once I was able to conquer the "C-curve", what she said made perfect sense. I love that Taylor's demeanor is calm & confident...it really helps maintain a very positive energy during the sessions. I'm 100% hooked & am glad that the location is near by & the cost is reasonable (an investment in me). It's a form of meditation for me & so grateful I get to experience this great form of exercise. read more

I started pilates because I wanted more flexibility, get back in shape, and fix my posture. Taylor was my instructor and she was just amazing. She makes sure that you are using the right muscle and breathing the correct way with each move. She modifies each move, adjusts the level for you, and she is so patient. She models the moves and explains so well. I have been going here for a few months and other people already noticed the difference in my body and posture. The place is always kept clean. Highly recommend this place! read more

Love this place! I was new to Pilates, especially the reformer, but David took great care to put me at ease and worked with me in creating a program that pushed me in all the right directions, without ever causing me pain. The hour flew by and I learned so much. I was so fired up about how great Pilates was that I went home and bought the intro package and convinced by husband to do the same! Our back issues are so different, yet, Pilates slowly seems to be correcting those "issues" while giving us a great workout everytime. I'm hooked. This is a great place--and David knows his stuff. I highly recommend it! read more

I have been going to Pilates at this location for a little over six months now faithfully twice a week. It's fun and so great having a dedicated team that works with you! read more

Wonderful studio in La Verne. I have been a client of Rebecca's for four years and also attend group classes (Maura's BOSU class and Richard's mat class). Staff is amazing; warm, energetic, personable and knowledgeable! Many different types of apparatus, weights and bands. Very clean studio with a spotless restroom with hand towels for post-workout tidying. Love coming to Equilibrium Fitness each week! read more

I love this place. I've been going for a year. They're super polite and everyone there is professional and polite. I was also told unlike most places, the owner keeps the store with a variety of toys for the instructor to work with so you never get bored. read more

My daughter asked me to try a reformer class with her at Equilibrium. I have never done it before and had a great experience. Hallee was our instructor and she took her time with us and explained everything as we were moving along. Plan to go back and take more classes. It is a nice clean studio and Hallee makes it fun! read more

Wonderful studio and environment. I've been going to Equilibrium for many years, now. The workouts are challenging yet fun. Staff is AWESOME ! Big shout out to Becky & Richard ! The studio has gone through an incredible transformation and I look forward to going there every week. read more

I tried Pilates suffering from the old age blues and scoliosis. My back is now much straighter, I measured 3/4 of an inch taller at the Doctors office. Pilates is very specific in its approach. Each muscle group is worked with real focus. What does and does not engage became obvious as did the over compensating that my body had done over the years just to keep moving forward. Phyllis Douglass is the owner and my personal trainer. She clearly can do magic because now I have a new body, a new body for an old gal. Quite amazing that such a thing could even happen. I have tried the gym and had to stop because what muscles were working got so strong that they pulled the spine out of alighnment, Ouch!! I tried yoga but my arms were so locked up from all the years of massage that I have done that stretching was counter productive and very painful. Pilates is the way to go if you need precise, focused, and specific attention to each muscle and how it works in relation to the entire body. It is quite effective and lovely. With Phyllis it does get into Magic because she can and does draw on her many skill sets she has as a Shaman. read more

I've been working out consistently for over 16 years and not until I started pilates did I see my shape transform the way I wanted it to. I've been a customer of Equilibriums for probably three years and cannot say enough about the experienced instructors and owner. I look forward to my two weekly appointments and cannot fathom ever quitting this guilty pleasure. read more

I studied yoga with Rachel for 3 years and she is an amazing teacher. Her classes are shaped by her love and knowledge of yoga, pilates and music. She is aware of different needs and limitations, and always provided modifications and made me feel comfortable to meet my body where it was at. I left class feeling energized, relaxed and challenged. I have since moved to the UK, but my home practice continues to be shaped by the lessons I learned from Rachel. I am thrilled that she is now doing a series of podcasts. On days that I need a bit of guiding or pacing in my practice, whether it be to help me relax or challenge myself, Rachel's podcasts transport me back to her yoga studio and help me ground myself again in my practice. read more
