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 was initially drawn to Ashlee because of her broad experience working with people in different stages of life, including rehabilitation, prenatal/pregnancy care, etc. Each class is challenging in the best way, and I always leave feeling stronger. I look forward to every session.

I've been training with Ashlee for about 18 months now and it's been incredibly rewarding. I can…read moreactually see and feel real changes in my form and strength. 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.

This is my long overdue praise to Carrie Russo Pilates. I was lucky enough to meet her while she…read morewas working at a group studio, and now I'm even more lucky to be able to see her privately! She is insanely knowledgeable, patient and dedicated to correct form. My sessions with Carrie are challenging and the level of difficulty is just the right amount. She pushes me just the enough so I feel it for the next few days and always finds muscles I never knew I had! Beyond her work as an instructor, Carrie also just has the most incredible vibe as a person and exudes nothing but positive energy! A session with her is more than just a workout, they are very therapeutic and enjoyable. Her supportive, and fun demeanor will allow you to reach the most exciting limits of your body through intelligent, and centered movement. I leave each session feeling uplifted, energized and stronger. And I love her home studio. It's 100% state-of-the-art, clean, comfortable and I feel like a celebrity with my very own private instructor! Would absolutely recommend seeing Russo Pilates!!

She is very dedicated and uses her experience to adjust my workout to fit my body while keeping it challenging and adhering to Pilates principles. A few years back, when I moved too far away to workout at the West Hollywood studio, I tried (and tried), but was not able to find another Pilates instructor that had quite the same knowledge and experience. Luckily, Carrie and I were able to figure something out and I'm back on track working at her home studio! (Love the home studio environment--- quiet and focused.) All this PLUS she is super fun and caring. Really, the perfect partner to have on your fitness journey.

For the past six months, I've been taking weekly private sessions with Rose Moran -- customized…read moreclasses combining Foundation Training, yoga and core strengthening exercises. Rose Moran has always been my sister's favorite yoga teacher at Yoga Blend, but I have autoimmune conditions that are greatly affected by things like room temperature, something I couldn't control by attending a group yoga class. Rose offered to specify a private class to meet my health needs -- a cool room, no pressure points on my veins damaged from my autoimmune disease, etc. And because Rose is a self-proclaimed "anatomy geek," her knowledge of the human body is outstanding. I feel so much stronger and so much more comfortable in my body since taking private classes with Rose. I immediately felt my muscles start to firm -- after only the first session -- and they have gotten harder and stronger with each class. Plus I stand taller and with so much more confidence -- it's amazing the difference it makes to straighten my spine and raise my chest, standing as tall and powerful as can be in my daily life. Rose has focused a lot of exercises on increasing my circulation in order to heal damage from my autoimmune disease. And I definitely feel it working. Since starting my sessions with Rose, I've increasingly felt able to do more in my daily life, things I couldn't do prior to her classes without either being in excruciating pain or having to take to my bed for days. I truly feel like taking private exercise sessions with Rose has been one of the best things I've done for myself. I feel better after working out with Rose than I do after going to acupuncture, which has always been very healing for me. Thank you so much, Rose!

I had been using the books and videos for a couple of years and thought I had a good understanding of the practice but learned just how limiting DIY can be.

Julia is extremely professional, supportive and encouraging while also pushing you. Her pilates classes will definitely help get you into shape, but not in a way that will harm your body in the long run!

I've referred many friends to her because I think she's a wonderful teacher.

I feel bad giving this a 3 star rating because I have taken Romi Rivera's virtual classes on…read morePopSugar Fitness. Romi is such a great instructor: her transitions are smooth and she gives a lot of instruction about where you should be feeling the workout and the placement of your feet. I took ballet burn with Stephanie Hall and unfortunately it wasn't as great of a first experience I'd hoped for. There wasn't a lot of room in the class so it would have been great if Stephanie moved off to the side and let the students watch their form in the mirror. I think it also would have been great if she provided more descriptive detail - "jump here" doesn't tell me what foot goes in front of which foot or where I should feel it. Or if we're doing Abbs and I cannot see you please let me know if my head is up or down and don't roll your eyes when I ask. Hahahaha Once we got to the trampoline - I finally broke a sweat. Lord have mercy! Hahah I killed it on the trampoline but that probably had more to do with my familiarity with holding a squat. Some other poor ladies were having a bit of a hard time and Stephanie wasn't tending to anyone or giving assistance. I'm sure there has to be better instructors. I'm going to take a gf with me next time and give it another chance. If you are familiar with ballet and the steps - you'd be fine in Stephanie's class, but wear shoes that have a grip! The floor is slippery in nikes.

Highly recommend to anyone looking to break an ankle or two! Just take a regular ballet class if…read moreyou want a ballet body. 100% less Pitbull, 100% less jumping on trampolines with no instruction/modification/guidance other than "Ohp! Be careful!" when some of the untrained, highly confused girls are practically flinging themselves off into the stratosphere. Seriously though, I'll break it down: I signed up through Classpass and honestly was just like sure whatever it's a ballet inspired cardio class. Got to the studio, it's...not really that nice. Not dirty or anything, but just nothing to write home about. They have tea and water and some black apparel and random pointe shoes everywhere (god knows why). The front desk girl showed me around the studio after apologizing for assuming I wasn't using my real name(???) and there's no door to the actual studio so you just kind of mosey back. Class was pretty full and the dancer that was teaching (super fit, definitely a trained dancer, NOT. AN. INSTRUCTOR) didn't introduce herself or ask anyone's names. Jumped right into some pretty basic ballet routines if you have a background, but if you don't -- godspeed. At no point did she go around, provide corrections or modifications, which is why I say she was not an instructor. After a couple uninspired, repetitive floor routines to upbeat pop music, the trampolines came out. Trampolines. We were doing ballet choreography...to top 40 hits...on trampolines. The dancer that was teaching didn't have a trampoline though, so she just showed us the gist on the floor. I can't make this up. It was just...honestly....awful. Please go somewhere else and get real instruction by a trained professional to get after that body you want. If you want to try ballet, take a real ballet class. I promise it's not worth risking injury to come here. Goodbye, Classpass credits, I'm sorry you had to die in vain.
