I recently moved to the South Bay and I was looking for work out studios in the area. I found Analu…read morestudios when I was doing the class pass trial. I am so glad I found this place. I was most interested in learning Pilates because I am recovering from a miscarriage and surgery. I wanted to get into low impact work outs that would also be safe for me to continue if and when I can become pregnant again. The owner, Nikala, was so sweet and sensitive when I told her my story. I told her that my core specifically is weak. I absolutely enjoyed my first class with her. After the first class, I purchased the studio's 10 class pack to test out if other instructors and how it fits into my schedule. One month later, I have an unlimited membership. I love Analu studios so much. I feel stronger after every single class. I started going 2x a month. I am working myself to going 3-4x a month. I absolutely love it. The class is small, maybe 6 reformers. The instructors really can pay attention to everyone and make corrections / modifications as needed. There is plenty of party in the back and on the street. Nikala & Kara are my favorite classes to attend. I'm happy I found this studio after everything I've been through.

I recently moved to the area and discovered Aspyn Method in Redondo Beach through ClassPass, and…read moreI'm so glad I did! This studio is such a cute, welcoming space. We took a class with Marina, and she was absolutely amazing. It was my fiancé's first time ever doing Pilates, and she was incredibly patient, informative, and thorough with helping him adjust his form. She made sure we both felt comfortable while still pushing us to work hard. By the end of class we were both shaking, and we woke up the next day extremely sore in the best way Marina's energy, guidance, and attention to detail made the whole experience so enjoyable. I 100% recommend Aspyn Method and especially recommend taking a class with Marina. We'll definitely be back!

I was a lucky participant in Pilates Effect's soft opening and I will be returning…read more First, the studio is immaculate, so if you are worried about a post-COVID workout, don't be. Every bit of equipment has been cleaned before and after each session. Also, the studio isn't crammed full of people, so you'll have plenty of room to move around. Second, Joyce is an amazing instructor. I took Pilates for a few years and it had been ages since I had been sore after a workout. She has a deep understanding of proper technique and how to help you improve your flexibility. Most importantly, she'll get your body into bikini shape. ;-)

The owner has anger issues. After my first class I could say I had a fairly pleasant experience…read more The owner then calls me later at night accusing me of not paying my first session when I sent her screenshot proof that I have. Even after all of that and finally realizing she's in the wrong and multiple times going back and forth she didn't even apologize. She gave me such attitude and put me down for something that was her fault. Ruined the experience for me and no way could I support a business run by someone like that. Completely unprofessional and money hungry. Look elsewhere if you want to join a Pilates class.

This was my very first time doing Pilates and OMG I loved it!!!!!!…read moreThe instructor was very kind and explaining everything well. Music was on point. What a great work out! I will definitely be back!!!

I've been doing Pilates on and off for the last two years and I was living in West LA. I'm…read moretemporarily living here in Torrance and decided to try this studio. My experience may be different from someone who is completely new to Pilates. It was instructed to come 15 minutes early before your first class so I did. A class was finishing up but the studio is very clean and for me self explanatory. So I put all my stuff in the cubbies provided, self-checked in on the Ipad, and waited for the class to finish. My first class was with Brittany and she did briefly explain the reformer to me, but I told her I had used a reformer before so I didn't need a thorough explanation. There was another girl in my class who was new so she helped her. The LIT class, which is their entry beginner class, I will say is a pretty good workout. I liked that even in the LIT class Brittany gave you the option if you wanted to do a higher level of weight/work for more of a challenge. The space is very clean, the reformers are in great working shape, and decorated more trendy. I enjoyed the music here (but if you are looking more for an experience where its playing more elevator type music then I would say this studio is not for you). Another thing I like about this studio is the variety of different classes like the cardio-jump board class, straps, classic pilates, etc. I took a jump board class with Allie and it was a great workout! Allie was also super sweet. I'll be back!

Don't judge a book by its cover nor a Pilates studio by one class, but in this case I must!…read more What a delightful morning class with Mary Kay! Seems like there is a regular core of folks in each class but enough space for new folks to come and in. None of the clique-y vibe of some similar group class studios, either. Ample parking in front free lot, which us good as the room has more than a half dozen reformers plus a cadillac. Group classes combine a bit of floor (when I attended it was mainly a few stretches and prep for the reformers more complex balancing so nearly all of class was on the bed) with reformer. You'll want pilates socks for this studio. They have a smart and tidy method of giving each class attendee a plastic bin to put each person's personal goodies in then return at end of class. Keeps things tidy and clean! Music was a mix of newer pop, country etc. not very loudly played which was nice. Just enough to focus when things got tough. Pilates is like that: seems easy but the workout sneaks up on you in intensity. I found this studio through ClassPass, which was nice as I wouldn't have discovered it in a drive by, tucked away as it is. Mary Kay was delightful and welcoming. TL/dr: low key but strong energy at this local Pilates studio
