I REALLY don't remember Pilates being so damn hard but that's probably because all my past trainers…read morelet me get away with talking the entire time, aka: the perfect way to decrease the intensity of the workout... Well, Amber is totally different and in the best way possible! Sure she will ask me how I am and we will chat a little but she won't let me stop what I'm doing, nope... I guess she doesn't care that I'm going to make salmon for dinner? ;) I've only been working out with her for about 2 weeks at this point (twice a week), and I can ALREADY FEEL & SEE a difference... Not only am I starting to see a bit more definition, but my confidence is heightening! One side effect that has really thrown me off guard though: MY CRAZY INTENSE APPETITE!!! While typically I can eat enough for a family of five, thanks to intense hour-long sessions with Amber, I now can eat enough for a family of 12 and even a little more for the family's pet dog! That being said, it's very important to fuel your hungry muscles with high quality sustenance, especially after such intense workouts. People might think Pilates is for "sissies" and is just another form of boring-ass yoga, but if you take Pilates with Amber, you'll be singing another tune... Or yelling another tune, in your head, because you're too out of breath to talk!

Ok, so my wife has been going to Amber for her Pilates training for years, but just recently, she…read moreconvinced me to give it a try. Needless to say, I was skeptical to say the least...I am a recently retired Air Force officer with over 20 years of service, 6'5" tall at 250lbs, and an avid weight lifter and runner, but Pilates, come on, really? But after seeing my wife's results and listening to her rave on and on about how great she feels, I finally caved in and decided to give it a try. Why haven't I done this sooner?!! Amber is amazing!!! As a complete novice, I needed a lot of specialized instruction, and her patience and gentle, caring demeanor were perfectly tailored to ensure my experience was second to none. Amber was able to explain and demonstrate each of the movements, as well as help my inflexible, gigantic body perform exercises/movements that I would have never thought possible. And as a result, I was able to achieve a phenomenal workout and target muscle groups I never had previously - believe me, I paid the price later...talk about muscle soreness and fatigue, but it was well worth it!! Amber has officially made this critic a fan of Pilates, and I can't imagine a better experience with anyone else!!!

Dale isn't just changing my body -- he's changing the way I think about working out. I've always…read moretaken classes because of my back injury, but the last time I threw my back out I could barely walk and was stuck in a back brace. Dale told me to come over anyway and gave me exercises that actually helped me become mobile. I walked out without the brace and never put it on again. Now I train to protect my back, build real strength, and support lifelong mobility -- and yes, an awesome body too.

After years of thinking yoga was enough to keep me strong and toned, I finally realized after a bad…read moreinjury this summer that weight lifting is essential to prevent future injuries, improve performance and maintain bone density in my middle-aged body.

I've been doing Pilates for over 20 years and Jenny Tate Pilates is the best all-around workout…read moreI've had. Walk taller, feel stronger, and firm your body. Although I've liked many of the trainers I've worked with, I've never had one as good as Jenny. Her attentiveness and knowledge far exceeds any trainer I've ever worked with. She provides corrections that often seem small but isolate and strengthen whatever is targeted. She understands the body and expertly guides you but will quickly pivot to another exercise if she sees you're form is incorrect so you don't get injured. I highly recommend her private studio to anyone looking to take Pilates.

Via ClassPass I decided to try out Guy's pilates reformer class. One of the best pilates classes I…read morehave ever taken! The next day I was the perfect amount of sore, whereas other studios/instructors I have been painfully sore the next day. First of all, the studio is located on the bottom floor of a private training gym called Fitness Factory. There is a parking lot, but unfortunately those who are going to Jenny Tate can't park in the lot. So, parking was a bit hard to find but I managed to find a metered street spot. Sucks that you have to pay for parking when you come take a class here! Guy was great, very friendly and helpful. He took the time to learn everyone's names and provided modifications for beginners and those with injuries. He wasn't judgmental like a lot of pilates instructors I've had in LA are. I can't wait to come back!

Michal has been my trainer for 3 years now, and I have been so impressed with the flexibility in…read morehis schedule, his commitment to me, knowledge, and skills. I had tried to gain weight, and put on muscle for the previous 10 years before I met Michal, but always failed and lost motivation. Not only did he teach me the proper techniques to use during our trainings, but also the proper diet for my goal to build muscle. What really impressed me was the fact that he was able to teach me things I had never considered before that are extremely important to keeping a young and healthy body. He is such a good motivator, and will never talk down to you or make you feel insignificant. My progress has always been consistent and continues to grow at a safe level. For the last part of my review I would like to comment on his knowledge. First he makes himself available anytime if I have a question or am confused about something related to diet or training in general. He always knows the answer, and can back it up with great references for me to read further on. If he isn't training, he is always researching. I know now that I will never have another trainer, because Michal is the only one that I can trust completely, and the progress and knowledge I have gained shows that. To this day I continue to do new and different exercises with him, and I want to thank him for helping me live a better, healthier, and longer life.

when I met Michal, I knew he was a person that could help me achieve my new goals and the one that…read morewould help to change my life for the better. I have been challenged and pushed by Michal. He makes working out fun and inspires me to reach new goals. He also think that my complaining is kind of funny :D I have been very impressed by his passion to help client, his knowledge and his ability to connect with his clients. Michal is very caring and attentive to what each client needs, what their limits are, and how far he can push them. He always motivates me to do better. He definitely deserve the best compliments. The most important, I had a great trainer but also I have a person I can call friend. So if you really want to change your life and especially your body Michal is a person you need to call. Cant wait to go back to LA to workout with him again.

The hybrid program is perfect ! the mix of Pilates and weight training gives me such a well rounded workout, and everything is tailored to me which I love.

Together they make such an amazing team and create such a welcoming, encouraging environment. I always actually look forward to my sessions and leave feeling stronger and more confident every time. If you're even thinking about trying it, just do it. You won't regret it.

100% Recommend working with Onur. In our first meeting he challenged my goals of "being more fit"…read moresaid it was "too fuzzy"... he was right, I said I want a 6-pack and sent him a photo of a 45yr old guy on the cover of Men's Health... he didn't blink - said it's completely doable, and asked how fast I wanted to go and if I'm willing to focus and be dedicated. I spent one year / solid 12 months with Onur. He designed my workout routines (changing every 4-5 wks), explained the science, gave me real strategies for each phase, nutrition / macros for each phase, and we stayed on top of it together... I hit my goals, 8-pack ;) More importantly, he changed my mindset, we talked through a book together - this is the real goal of working with a strong coach like Onur, if you rebuild your mindset, you can achieve any goal - fitness, health, career, relationship. You get out what you put in. He can really help you change your life: strength, health, mindset, confidence. I can't say enough good things.

Thanks to Onur's guidance, I've not only shed fat but also gained energy, confidence, and a real understanding of how to navigate fitness and nutrition. He didn't just give me a plan--he educated me every step of the way. Now, I walk into the gym knowing what to do and why I'm doing it. Onur's approach is supportive yet firm, pushing you to do your best without feeling like it's impossible. He's built my confidence not just in how I look but in my ability to sustain this lifestyle long-term. If you're ready to transform and actually learn what works for you, Onur is your guy. Thank you, Onur, for helping me become the best version of myself!

DONT COME HERE!!!!…read more This place is awful. No parking. TERRIBLE customer service. INCREDIBLY RUDE LADY who worked there is pretentious and snobby. I was shocked upon signing in she wouldn't let me take a class cause I was two minutes late .TWO MINUTES!! Jesus Christ that's unreasonable and absurd. Her reason was "that's just the way it is and I would be disturbing the class" To clarify that class looked pathetic, sad and dead with only two people. No wonder this place is on groupon and doesn't have a Yelp cause they are a ONE star business!! It was incredibly humiliating to be rejected after aggressively looking Parking and paying for NOTHING!! I will NEVER be coming here again and letting all my friends and colleagues know about this awful experience. It's LA everyone is always late and there is a thing called TRAFFIC!!! Ever heard of it?! Not to mention meter parking is impossible on Robertson

I arrived to an unfriendly woman at the front desk not knowing anything about the class and the sign in sheet was for the day before. I should have walked out and never taken the class. I cant stress enough how dirty and unorganized this place is!
