Clean, organized space with a beautiful view. There seem to be classes for all different fitness abilities and schedules. I priced shopped around and honestly it's all about the same pricing for Pilates in the seal beach area. I also found that other studios also require members to book classes on an app as they attend, and charge a fee for no shows, it's a norm. They have Sunday classes, some don't, that is what swayed me. read more

Thank you Kat!! I hadn't worked out in a couple weeks. Woke up sore in all the right places. Love your playlist and Barre clas

Fantastic so far! Love everyone I've worked with here...Pilates professionals for sure! Great staff, great views, great find! A++

This is by far the best pilates studio I have ever been too. I have had such a positive experience at Form & Movement. There are different instructors with different teaching styles. And i love every single one of them! Every class feels like a semi-private session. With the instructor making sure you are doing the exercises right and in good form. I always leave this Studio feeling like I did a whole body workout. I'm hooked! Also not to mention the beautiful view of the Alamitos bay. If you are lucky you can catch a view of seals or dolphins and that's a treat. I would definitely recommend this studio to friends and family. read more

Was signed up for class and turned away for being pregnant. The instructor was literally shaking in fear at the sight of me. This is not how you treat people. Pregnancy is not a disability. I've been doing Pilates 3/wk for the last 2 years I've never been treated this way before. read more

The best studio in the most beautiful location. The instructors are extremely well trained and ensure the each person gets individual attention. It's a very welcoming, warm environment. If you are looking for a pilate studio in Long Beach - you have to try Form and Movement. read more

Hate leaving reviews like this, but I feel like this has to be addressed. I signed up for an unlimited 2 week pass in early 2021, and took classes with Kelly/Ariana/Carlin. LOVED them, they were all wonderful and I loved the styles of each of them! I was going to extend my membership and become an permanent member, but I had such a negative encounter with the owner, Lahni, when I took her class that I could not go through with it. That day I took Lahni's class in the morning, I was treated and spoken to so condescendingly that I almost walked out of the class 10 minutes in. I asked questions because I was a beginner, and I felt like I was basically treated like a dog the entire class. Literally, at one point she said "Good girl" to me. I don't pay money to feel like crap as I'm exercising. Saying this as respectfully and sincere as I can; Lahni, you need to be more conscious of what you say and how you say it. Otherwise, you will lose out on business like what happened with me. Am I willing to give it a second chance? Sure, because you have amazing instructors. But I believe I am owed an apology before that's considered. read more

What a gem! Found this place on ClassPass and it is now my go-to studio! Love Pilates on the Mat with Brit and Sara! Normally I'm a reformer gal but these mat classes rock. Small class sizes, personalized attention, and a wide variety of exercises/apparatuses that change every class. Plus, you can't beat the gorgeous view behind the studio! Five stars! read more

Whether you are brand new to fitness or a seasoned athlete, Pilates is the perfect compliment to your current exercise regime. Core strength is so important for your back and spine health. I can attest for this with my own experience at Form and Movement. My experiment at Form and Movement has been transformative. All the staff are considerate and knowledgeable. The classes are a work of art. I always feel relaxed and that I have cared for my body after a Pilates class at Form and Movement. Lahni, the owner has completely changed my health. I used to have a rib that would routinely dislocate. Since private sessions, group reformer and now virtual mat classes, my spinal and rib health has transformed. I know longer have to live with chronic back and shoulder pain. I am so inspired by the instructors here that I want to do a Pilates certification program now! A trip to Form and Movement is an investment in your physical and mental health well worth making. read more

I love this studio so much! It's close to home with an amazing view of the bay that never gets old. I have enjoyed great instruction from Lahni, Lesli, Meghan and Bree. All of them take the time to give me individual attention and correction to my form when necessary. And now 6-7 months later I feel even more at home and enjoy the different disciplines and various forms of Pilates and yoga with a little more confidence. The recent addition of Circuit Pilates with Elena is such a great workout. The ebb and flow of instructors is all about finding the perfect fit for each client. I really enjoy their individual teaching methods. read more

Have joined this wonderful group! I love the small group setting, dedicated teachers, and the view is just a beautiful bonus! I am stronger,more toned,have better balance, have more energy, and a smaller waist...whooooohoooo. Leslie and Lahni have made a wonderfully welcoming studio for all levels.Call and sign up for a free mat class to feel it for yourself. read more

Finally decided to try pilates after all the hype. Not only is the location amazing but my instructor, Bre, was so sweet and really knew what she was doing. I am definitely going to make this my weekly go-to studio! read more

Form and Movement has my healthy heart all the way! I have truly fallen in love with Pilates do to this amazing studio! Lahni and Bre are both so skilled at what they do, amazing coaching and always making sure we are getting the most out of our practices. The best part is the view! How can you pass up Pilates on the bay I just completed 15 days in a row! Can't stop, I'm hooked. read more

I've been attending classes at Form & Movement for almost a year now and I have to say that it's by far my favorite studio that I've ever joined. The variety of classes--I usually mix it up between reformer, mat, and circuit--to the studio, but most importantly the instructors themselves, are all amazing. Elena's circuit class has been my go-to if I real want to challenge myself. She's always keeping it fun and exciting and makes sure to correct and educate us along the way. I'd definitely recommend attending Elena's circuit or reformer classes. read more

What a wonderful studio! From the location, to the staff, to pricing, to workout. This place wins! The studio itself is gorgeous. Very modern, clean, organized, and the view of the bay is incredible. The team of instructors are wonderful! Lahni, Lesli, Meagan, Joey and Elana are my go-to for all things pilates and they are all incredibly detailed, entertaining, and specific with their intention for each of our workouts. Audrey is my favorite for yoga. Her energy is incredible and she makes you feel extremely welcomed. The pricing is unreal! They make pilates affordable and the overall quality that you receive from this studio, makes the pricing so much more unbelievable! Pilates is "easy" until you do it right. And the instructors at Form & Movement won't let you get away with anything. Their knowledge, creativity, detailed explanation, and hands on work make each of their workouts one of a kind. I'm very happy I found this space and over the moon with how much my body has changed in such a short time. I highly recommend this studio for anyone who is a beginner, intermediate, or advanced in their pilates practice, as well as anyone who just wants to move and have their body treated with care. Thanks F&M! read more

I went to a reformer class here on Sunday morning, my instructor Emily, was really good. Her cues were easy to understand and follow, her workout was a great mix of both basic and intermediate exercises. What I liked best, however, was that she really took the time to help me with minor adjustments to my alignment. I left there feeling like I got my butt kicked (but in the best way possible). I've taken classes here in the past and have always had a great experience, the staff is friendly, the studio clean, and its easy to get in and out of in the early morning. If you have a couple of minutes afterwards take a walk on the dock and smell the sea air, its really therapeutic. Just a little tip that I've learned, try to use the restroom before settling in as it is located a few store fronts away read more

I finally joined my wife at a Pilates session at Form & Movement & from the start thoroughly enjoyed the exercise and tranquility. It's been 6 months from my first session & my strength and flexibility have improved & I no longer have any aches or pains. Bre and Megan are excellent instructors & great coaches and always have something new to add to their workouts. The studio is always spotless and the equipment is top notch. The location couldn't be any nicer with a view of the bay and cool ocean breezes. read more

I really enjoy Elena's reformer class. She has a new routine for us every time. It's always helpful to understand the objective of a new exercise, and she explains it clearly. Performing the sometimes-challenging activities stimulates my mind and makes my brain and body feel better connected. She warms us up and cools us down so when we are finished I feel both limber and centered. read more

BEST NEW STUDIO!!! I can't say enough good things about this studio, the classes, and the staff! The studio is the most beautiful place to work out with most INCREDIBLE VIEW! Huge windows overlooking the water make this studio really special. The equipment is all top of the line and everything is really clean and decorated very chic. Its definitely a place I look forward going back to again and again. I LOVE the mat classes, reformer classes, and wunderball! There is a huge variety of classes so its fun to take different classes which motivates me to go several times a week. The owners and instructors are all very knowledgable so each class I have gotten a great work out. It makes a really big difference working out with a small group and with instructors who can provide a lot of attention to make sure you have good form and are not going to injure yourself. Everyone is so nice and its a really positive environment. Great prices! read more

I've been attending classes at this studio regularly for 7 months now and get such a tremendous, challenging, varied workout. I take weekly classes of yoga, Pilates props, mat flow and reformer. The classes are offered at convenient times: Yoga (8:30 am Sunday), mat flow (8:00 am Monday), Pilates props (5:30 pm Thursday) and reformer (8:00 am Saturday). There are many other classes and times. Looking at the water while working out makes for an incredible experience. The studio is very clean, and the classes are intimate. You can make new friends with the other clients, and the instructors are WONDERFUL! Give it a try; you've got nothing to lose. read more

The best location to do Pilates or yoga in Long Beach. The instructors are very knowledgeable in their practice and you can find a class that fits your comfortability. I have been doing Pilates with Lesli for the past year and she is absolutely fantastic at making you work and still have a great time doing it. I look forward to trying other instructors out at Form and Movement. Looking out at the water while doing a mat flow class is not only good for the body, it's good for the soul. read more

I was new to regular exercise, in general, but had to do something about my quickly-becoming-sedentary lifestyle. I felt intimidated by gyms, but was interested in learning more about Pilates. I heard about this studio from a neighbor and it was the location and view of beautiful Alamitos Bay that attracted me. I called for an appointment, and was lucky enough to speak with Lahni, the owner, who did a quick, but thorough assessment of my fitness needs. I scheduled a private session with her, and I am so happy! After almost one year, I feel like a different person. My experience with Lahni has done so much for me physically, and my state of well-being is much improved. I was not familiar with other studios, but since starting my classes, have peeked into others . . . Form & Movement is restful, clean, well-appointed, and happy! Take a look at the website for instructor bios, and you can add "professional" to that description. The range of classes is impressive, and includes, but is not limited to, different types of Pilates and Yoga classes, with new classes being added. The class packages and promotions are attractive. Special events are interesting, informative, and fun. The studio's motto, "Pilates for everyBODY!" is well-chosen; everyone is made to feel welcome and comfortable. It will be worth your while to take a look inside, or better yet, take a class! read more

A truly outstanding Pilates studio that not only helped with weight loss but helped with my back pain that physical therapy never could. All of the instructors are outstanding. I have had classes with Lahni, Lesli, and Meagan. All of them are very knowledgeable and helpful when dealing with the exercise and my back issues. I highly recommend this studio to anyone interested in improving their workout. read more

AMAZING WORKOUT. As someone who has been to various studios and gyms in Long Beach, I would have to say that Form and Movement has everyone beat. Their variety of Pilates classes offer both first time students and on going practitioners an amazing experience. Led by Lahni and Lesli, their instructors takes care to guide you in your practice and your specific goals for your body. I've had times where a movement in class has not worked for my body and the instructor has offered me a variation to help me build strength. Since going there, I have been able to take both Reformer classes and Mat classes due to their affordable rates and programs, something that I have never been able to do before! I love the view and the open space of the studio and as someone who is becoming a germaphobe in her old age appreciates the cleanliness of the studio and the equipment. I can not recommend this studio enough! read more

I'm 81 and have been taking mat pilates for at least 15 years from various studios and gyms. I met Lahni when she was teaching at another studio and followed her when she opened Form & Movement. I love this place, as I signed up for unlimited mat classes and can attend classes 5 days a week at either 8:00am or 9am, (my favorite times to exercise). The Instructors, Lahni, Bre, and Katherine are awesome and carefully modify my movements, as I have neck issues and a recent knee replacement. Believe me, it's never to late to develop a strong core, balance, and flexibility which is so important in the "golden years". This is the place to start your new regime, and it's on the bay, with a view of the dolphins passing by. read more

I joined form and movement a year or so ago and have loved every moment. The studio has an amazing view and is always clean and friendly. All of the instructors are well trained, encouraging and overall really great. I have been taking Elena's class regularly and if you are looking for a challenging fun class, she's your gal! She is so knowledgeable and switches things up to keep us engaged and pushes us when we need it. I thoroughly look forward to her classes and feel such a sense of accomplishment when we are done. read more
