It has now been six solid months since I started my weekly training at E Studio. I am not typically one to write reviews, but I've seen such massive results in my strength that I had to write one here. After receiving a new chronic illness diagnosis, I found myself weakened and knew I needed to find a place to build my strength back up. The true test came recently when we paked up and moved to another house after 30 years. The strength required to pack and move an entire home would normally have caused me significant physical strain. I was absolutely blown away by the incredible strength I had to perform this 'Herculean' task and - wait for it...completely injury-free! I feel special and well cared for at this studio. The private environment makes all the difference and the results speak for themselves. Thanks E Studio! read more

As a former client here for almost 9 months, I would not recommend this place to people of scientific minds or people of color. They are stuck in science based decades ago compared to more informed trainers in bigger cities like LA. Over the course of working with Kaya Burke as a couple, we shared extensively about purchasing and using a Theragun for pre and post recovery. We used it in their lobby area where they have yoga mats and cool down tools. She and other trainers (at least two) who actually saw us use it never mentioned to put it away or that it was distracting for WEEKS. What was more distracting was that other clients frequently talk so loud that I could clearly hear their stories of family members and different vacations the whole thirty minutes multiple times. Not ONCE while we were there did they tell their majority white clients to be less loud. All of a sudden, Kaya abruptly texted us that we can no longer use the Theragun there and that it was "distracting". I'm a medical professional and I know how decorum should be. We were quiet and discreet. We received no complaints in person while using it. I've had personal trainers recommend and use this device in LA during sessions and afterwards. After seeing the clientele that come and the owners, I can see they discriminate without cause to people of color. They are threatened by a tool approved by insurance plans for recovery after workouts. This is NOT a studio for the modern working professional if you cannot do a modern recovery routine right afterwards. Kaya Burke is only certified in their methods and is not a comprehensively trained fitness professional and it shows. She also has very poor communication and is passive aggressive. The owners seemed very defensive but they say they will give refunds. Take your business elsewhere. This business discriminates. read more

I've been working out once a week at eStudio for close to 10 years. At age 75, it's important for women to pump iron to keep strong bones, and my bone density has held steady for the past decade. I attribute that at least in part to my time at eStudio and the slow motion, high intensity routine they provide. I always feel like I'm in good hands - a routine customized to my body and no exercise-related injuries ever! Bonnie and Falcon's long experience makes for a well-run studio with thoroughly trained and monitored trainers. And in all the years I've trained with them, the price was only increased once. A great value. read more

Had my first free session. Intake interview covered existing health, joint issues, any other factors that could impact the weight training. We also talked about my health improvement goals. So basically the routine here is using Nautilus type weight machines at a veeeeerrrrrryyyy slow pace. I'd call it slow motion weight bearing isometrics. Kayden the trainer closely coached me. Made sure that I was getting the exercise without discomfort. Only 2 clients are seen at the same time. Always one trainer per client. My wife has been visiting here weekly for 9 months. She says her health, strength and endurance have improved. I plan to stick with it. Hope that getting stronger and more limber improves my golf game. read more

I have been a client here from May to mid December of 2024 & I am the type of client who takes his time to establish rapport with a small business or any business for that matter. Trust is earned over time and can be lost much faster. E studio has LOST my trust. In fact it has become quite difficult to understand who this studio caters towards. Having been a client for the past nine months being trained by Kaya Burke as a couple, we thought that all the policies of the studio had been shared with us the moment we signed up in a professional face to face manner and that all clients and trainers would adhere to those policies. There were multiple sessions where we could hear other clients speaking loudly to their trainers, not once did their trainers or ours for that matter ask them to keep their noise level down to a minimum. We recently purchased a Theragun (which was insurance approved) and our trainer Kaya Burke was ecstatic to hear that we found a tool that would help us with pre and post recovery. She also had no problem with us using it in the lobby area close to the front door and away from the machines where they also had other amenities like yoga mats and other recovery equipment. Multiple weeks went by while we would use the Theragun in the lobby area while other clients and trainers had their sessions and not once was there ever a complaint or a restriction mentioned to us or to establishment about its use. The owners son even saw me use it and never mentioned anything about it. It wasn't until recently that it was brought to our attention by Kaya Burke that we'd no longer be able to use it in the lobby area due to the fact that there would be other clients and trainers having their ongoing sessions during ours. This substantially points out that there clearly has been some unnoticed and undocumented favoritism happening at this studio, which is why I am writing this review so that it sheds light on the matter and so that others won't feel discriminated against. Kaya Burke has displayed a lack of professionalism and honest communication through her passive aggressive tactics. Her actions and attitude are a reflection of management failing to train their staff properly in accordance with their own skewed policies. The fact that the owners allow a trainer like Kaya Burke to be a part of E Studio is a reflection of how the quality of care has severely diminished as they no longer have a hands on approach compared to previous years. read more

I am SO happy that E Studio exists and is well adapted to meet and exceed all COVID-related health and safety standards. My 30-minute workout once a week with the expert trainer's guidance delivers far more benefit than I've ever had from membership in a traditional gym, with far less risk of injury and not a minute wasted. I discovered that working with an E Studio trainer motivates me to give 100% effort even on days when I wake up feeling "meh." I'm a distance trail runner and "Superslow" at E Studio is ideal cross-training. My legs feel much stronger on uphills; my core/upper body can maintain good form much, much longer. Joining E Studio was frankly one of the best fitness choices I've ever made. I've never been able to maintain a consistent strength training practice on my own or anywhere else for more than a month or two, but I'm going on three years here! I'm in my late 40s and with their help I plan to keep getting stronger with age (like a good cheese). read more

I love my weekly workout at eStudio! I've been going there for 7 years now, and am proud to be in my 70s and have real biceps! I love that I can exercise (seriously) for half an hour and not feel guilty the entire rest of the week for being too lazy to exercise. I also thank these weekly "pumping iron" sessions for my bone density, which is slightly better than it was 12 years ago and not yet in the danger zone. I was blessed to be able to continue during most of COVID because of the steps they took to keep clients safe. eStudio is definitely one of the highlights of my week. read more

E-Studio is a very professional and supportive place for wellness and health. Levi is an awesome personal trainer! You will be able to go at a comfortable pace with him to reach your goals! Work outs with Levi got me out of my Covid "body" (I felt sluggish and lost my muscle tone). With his compassionate and well tested exercise system, I was able to get into my pre-Covid shape again. I feel amazing!!! The workouts are only 30 minutes per week with intensive weighted training that works all the muscle groups. There is no excuse not to try. First work out is free! p.s. There are many machines in the e-studio to work all the muscle groups that are tensed and need a work out to relax! read more

I received a gift certificate for my birthday for six training sessions with co-owner, Bonnie. My partner chose E Studio as a place I would like for several reason. One, the staff she spoke with were knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, and focused. Second, the gym space is small and private. And lastly, because of the slow method that is both effective and challenging. My partner chose well and I indeed really liked the studio for all of those reasons. Bonnie is attentive, kind, compassionate, yet firm. The slow method is anything but easy. I saw results very quickly! I highly recommend E Studio for anyone; for those interested in fitness and for those needing the extra attention for a specific issue or illness. read more

This studio is professional yet comfortable! Kendell knows so much about nutrition and the body!! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a professional that listens with a big heart!!! read more

I am very impressed with the work I am doing with Lee. She is an effective communicator and really knows the world of slow strength training. I have been working with her for over six months and as a woman over 60 years old I am loving my new found strength and flexibility. read more

I have been training with Bonnie Christopher at E Studio since 2006. My once a week, half-an-hour super-slow workouts have made a huge difference in my physical and mental wellbeing. The discipline I've integrated into my muscle tone, body memory, and psyche has seen me through some very difficult life situations that I've been able to navigate in part, because of the dedicated and experienced supervision of Bonnie and E Studio. I highly recommend E Studio for anyone's workout regimen, regardless of age, as the place to bring your body to a place of vibrant health. Lea Goode-Harris, Ph.D. read more

I have never been in better shape in my life! State of the art equipment, professional trainers, and a sincere interest in how you feel, each and every week. In this busy world, I only need one half hour a week of my time to feel and look great. I too highly recommend E Studio for anyone looking for an amazing work out experience. BEST. WORKOUT. EVER. read more

I have worked out at E Studio for years. In my life, I have done a lot of fitness and strength training. The E Studio workout is very effective at building strength and fitness with a small amount of time each week. Having a personal trainer makes a huge difference and their trainers are very well trained. At the end of the workout, they give a short chair massage which is a delight. At 66 years old, I don't want to spend hours each week lifting weights. The short time spent each week at E Studio really pays off in a happier and easier day-to-day life! read more

As a ten year E Studio veteran I can say this works. I am stronger in my 50's then I was in my 40's. My only advice is to pick the right trainer for you. They all know "by the book" training. If you want intense, you can get it. However, I am someone who wants the results along with a pleasurable interaction with my trainer. She is why I come back. She works me hard, but is sensitive to my specific needs. She rates 5 stars! Her name is Laura. A similar personality is Kendell who works different hours. read more
