Love this Pilates studio! So many reformer classes to choose from. The instructors are well qualified and helpful. Great workout!

I came here the other day to take my first Pilates class ever. KJ, the instructor was really sweet and led me through all the moves and helped adjust the reformer, as I had never used one! It was a small group class, which was great for the level of private attention and feedback on our form. The studio is super cute and quaint. The receptionist was really friendly and one of the other instructors, Chad, took the time to explain to me the equipment he uses to teach a class on specialized body vibration machines. Both him and KJ seemed to really know a lot about the technical aspects of the classes they teach. I was really impressed with Harmony Studios - lovely space and warm and inviting energy. read more

Harmony Studios Pilates - Trainers Near Me - West Hollywood, California

See all

My favorite pilates studio in LA! Everyone is super friendly from the moment you walk through the door. Classes range from gentle/restorative to kick-butt challenging depending on the instructor. I prefer the latter, so I usually take KJ, Annelissa, or Penny. All of the instructors are well trained and focus a lot on your form, which is so crucial for avoiding long-term injuries. I've found that the instructors are pretty receptive and sensitive to students, so they'll tailor class difficulty and exercises based on the level of experience and noted injuries. Street parking is plentiful. There are meters on Santa Monica Blvd and some free parking in the neighborhood streets (though do check the signs as West Hollywood is very serious about parking enforcement!). read more

My girlfriend and I just left Harmony Studios for our first time & I feel this review is totally necessary..Harmony is awesome! Shes has been begging me to try Pilates for a few months now, and I'm so thrilled I did. The minute we walked in, we were welcomed by the front desk. I told Jessica I never had tried it before, didn't feel I was flexible enough, etc, and she reassured me. We took Annalisa's 11:00 am on Sunday and this is exactly what I need in my life. The class is 6 people, which I liked because I had enough attention to my form. Annalisa (sorry, if I'm misspelling) helped position my pelvis and helped me get out my shoulders. (I had no idea I was even in my shoulders). If you are curious about Pilates, go check out Harmony Studios. 5 stars! read more

I was in the West Hollywood area for a promo modeling gig, and I walked in hoping to try a Pilates class before to help calm my nerves..gosh, I am so bummed I don't live in LA anymore because I love this studio!! The owner Jessica made me feel so welcomed and confident in trying Pilates. My instructor was Betsy and she was awesome! Betsy told me she was a newly certified instructor and I couldn't believe that..she was so skilled, observant, and patient with all of us! I'm going to start taking Pilates back in OC, but if you live in LA, go to this studio! I'm jealous of you already. ;) read more

I work upstairs from the Pilates studio and I do pilates at least once a week sometimes more. What really sets Harmony apart from other studios is the deep well of knowledge their instructors have. I had serious back problems for years from bending over all day a work and with the help of the Harmony team I am completely pain free. Pilates is excellent for both men and woman and is a great workout too. It's harder than people think. The parking is a breeze and the mom and pop vibes are welcoming and stress free. Good for beginnings and advanced Pilates students. The instructors are steeped in knowledge and experience so if Pilates is on your radar, this is the place. read more

WARNING: Poor management First of all, this review is not for Elaine who is a great instructor and the only reason I even considered purchasing a package. I discovered this studio through ClassPass about 3 weeks ago. After my first class, I received an email with a promotion to get 5 classes for $90. I responded to that email saying I was interested however, I went away for the weekend and forgot to call to buy the package. When I went in for my second class, I brought it up to Autumn at the front desk and asked if I could purchase the package then. She replied that the offer was only valid for 48 hours and added that it was mentioned in the email (in a very condescending tone). She told me she would still give me some 25% discount off another package and I told her I would think about it. The next day I received the same promotional email with the same offer so this time I called as soon as I got the email. Autumn answered the phone and instead of handling the situation with professionalism, she proceeds to lie and say that the email was a response she was drafting to my initial inquiry. I told her that it was not a response but a brand new email and she then changed her story to say that it was a glitch in the system. I told her that if it was a glitch in the system then they should honor the offer. She ignored me and instead tried to sell me a different package again. Due to Autumn's rudeness and lack of professionalism, I will not be returning to this studio. If the second promotional email was sent by mistake as Autumn said, then they should have owned up to it and honored the offer. Autumn seems to think they are the only pilates studio in Los Angeles. read more

I'm so glad I found this Pilates studio. The class instructors are all well-trained and knowledgeable about the body. They always provide modifications and are mindful that they are teaching people of various fitness levels. I have taken reformer classes with Mallory, Jennifer M, Jennifer O, and Annalisa, all of which I really enjoyed. My favorite instructor is Mallory, who always brings a lot of kindness and positive energy to her classes. She does a good job of keeping an eye on your form, even with a full class. I have taken numerous classes at other Pilates studios where instructors are just going through the motions of teaching a class, throwing out empty praise ("good job everyone!") and barely make an effort to correct students when they are moving with poor form. I get so much more out of her classes because of the extra effort she puts into her teaching! read more

Amazinggggggg!!!! I'm visiting from NYC and took my first class at harmony yesterday - it was incredible! The instructor was the owner, Karen - she was so good about checking in on my injuries (I have a really bad back) and helping me modify an exercise if it put too much pressure on my back. The studio is super and clean and welcoming. And everyone I met that was working at the studio and the others taking the class were incredibly nice. I loved the class and highly recommend it! read more

Cannot say enough things about this place and before I start, I should preface this review with the important caveat that I generally loathe any form of indoor exercise (I like hiking, running, tennis, etc). Having said that, I am hooked on Pilates at Harmony Studios-almost 6 months and running. Jen O. has done a killer job in working with me to develop my strength and phsyique, particularly in my lats, abs and obliques. I see the difference in the way my clothes fit and my posture and I really like that we do many different exercises (a dream for someone with a limited attention span like me). I have also had great experiences training with both Jen T. and the studio's owner, Karen. read more

I took Betsy's class and it was incredible! I'm definitely coming back. She emphasized proper form, while still having us work hard! I'm in good shape but Betsy still managed kick my butt. Class flew by. read more

This studio was recommended by my chiropractor but learned a ton of my friends come here too. These guys are the real thing and seem to do it all. They truly have something for everyone--can get you in shape or work with you to built strength if you have injuries. This studio stands out in a city full of fitness options. And they are the kindest people! read more

I don't even know what to say. First of all Harmony is a beautiful clean space. Second the Owner is a knowledgeable, dynamic Woman who really knows what she's doing. I was unsure about Pilates and am still recovering from a rough delivery of my second baby. Karen made this an incredible experience for me and constantly asked questions- while actually Listening to my responses, adjusting me when necessary and making sure I knew what I was doing and how it should feel. I'm amazed how much I truly like Pilates after doubting it for so long, I can't believe how tough it is or how lucky I feel that this studio exists. Everyone here is pleasant and working hard from the trainers to the clients and receptionists. I'm pretty impressed with Harmony so far and I think anyone in their right mind will be too. read more

Recently moved a block away from this studio, while on a walk decided to step in and check it out. The staff was so friendly and offered me an assessment session. Came in yesterday and was scheduled with KJ. She was absolutely wonderful, so patient, knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable. I'm so glad I came across this studio and will definitely scheduling future sessions. read more

I recently went to a complementary group Pilates class at Harmony Studios. It was my first time taking a Pilates class. I was a little nervous about keeping up with the class. The instructor was great and I left feeling like I had the best work out of my life. I really like this place, because the hours are so flexible with my busy schedule. They are basically open all of the time. It has great vibe and the people and staff were very friendly. I'm going to go back and sign up for a month session and start to get fit for summer! read more

I was staying in Beverly Hills with a girlfriend and a lady having lunch mentioned her daughter worked at Harmony Studios so we took a reformer class ! Wow we will definitely be back.... we were taught how important it is to do this correctly or we could have damaged ourselves... knowledgeable and the best staff!!! read more

I give this Pilates studio a five star because I absolutely love working out harmony studios, they have the best instructors in Westhollywood. The studio is so nice, clean and very welcoming. Also really great customer service. No wonder this Pilates studio was rated number #1 in West Hollywood. The owner of studio is also really amazing. If you are looking for a Pilates studio to work out in West Hollywood definitely don't miss this great place. Live, love, breathe and mind your workout! read more

Came here for my first time doing Pilates. I'm a younger male, so was a little intimidated by not necessarily being in the target market for this type of exercise. Boy, was I wrong. The staff was accommodating, the other classmates were sympathetic, and the trainer (I think her name was KJ or KT?) made extra sure that I was keeping up and encouraged as we went through. It was really not all that bad, and a quick was to limber myself going into the weekend. Highly recommend Harmony to anyone experienced or trying for the first time! read more

I walked into harmony wondering what Pilates was all about and thought I'd try a class. It was amazing, I enjoyed it tremendously and I would recommend it for anyone who wishes to tone their body and feel energized. The place was very clean and the people were extremely friendly. I receiveda lot more out of it than I ever could've thought. John read more

Pilates has very quickly become my favorite exercise and activity thanks to my fantastic instructor, Penny. She genuinely teaches from the heart, and her teaching is immaculate, which has inspired me to do my best. I never thought I'd be able to get this fit and and feel great doing it. Since I started a few years ago, I feel stronger than ever. Keep up the phenomenal work! read more

I don't usually hang around the West Hollywood area, but I had a housecall in Beverly Hills and had some time to spare before hitting the freeway and getting stuck in traffic, so I popped into this studio to try my first ever Pilates class. I absolutely loved it..my instructor KJ was so attentive to detail, had such a calming demeanor, and didn't make me feel new at all! Love this studio, wish I could of brought it home with me! read more

I recently went to Harmony Studios for a Pilates class and loved it!! The studio is very clean, cute and organized. Staff were all very friendly and helpful with the check-in process and answering our questions. The class itself was AMAZING! The teacher (I think her name was Jennifer) really knows her stuff and worked us hard! I would highly recommend checking out Harmony Studios! Can't wait to go back! read more

Reza's TRX class is one of the highlights of my week! It's a one hour, full-body workout that is great for improving cardio, balance, flexibility and strength. TRX has been described as "pilates on crack." The one hour flies by b/c Reza is engaging and provides an interesting, well planned class. Classes are small which means you get a lot of personal attention. It's a serious workout in a friendly, encouraging environment. If you want to be more fit and try something new, you should try the class. This class is a perfect activity for all levels of fitness. The Harmony studio is a lovely, very clean space. The staff is friendly, especially Amanda who usually sits at the front desk and always has a warm welcome for their guests. read more

Penny kicked my butt!!! She was so amazing! She adds lots of laughter to get that core engaged. Super fun, and engaging class. Can't wait to go again! read more

I love the reformer classes at this studio! The parking is easy, right in front. The space is open and light. There are two bathrooms, one with a shower. KJ is the best teacher ever. She is able to infuse corrections and alignment without slowing the natural pace of the exercises. The exercises always become more challenging when you do them correctly and with mindfulness! I just started doing the Power Plate workouts, talk about challenging!! My teacher, Chad, is super knowledgable about the science of the machine so the workout gets super intense without complicated movement or heavy weights. I haven't tried the Gyrotonic classes but it looks interesting and is on my list! read more

My girlfriend begged me to take a pilates class with her..I was super hesitant as I didn't think guys do pilates, but that was seriously such a great workout..I've done CrossFit, Orange theory, you name it, but pilates is challenging but feels healthy at the same time! I really liked it! This review is for Mallory..thank you so much for being so awesome! Great studio too--friendly staff, street parking, and cool spot. We will be back! read more

Beautiful, clean studio with knowledgeable trainers and MANY classes to choose from. I come here for Pilates classes and Power Plate classes and love every visit. Parking is easy with street parking for free on side streets less than a block away or metered parking directly in front of the studio itself. Staff is friendly and even when classes are full they never feel overcrowded. read more

I received some terrible news literally as I was waking into take a a class at this studio. I was so distraught but since I was right out front I thought I would let the studio know instead of no showing. Honestly the news hand not fully sunk in yet. I explained something bad had just happened and said I needed to go and hoped I could retake the class. Long story short the girl Michelle up front said no. Being very emotionally I burst into to tears and walked out. So here's the thing. I don't blame Michelle. Sure she could have been more empathetic seeing something was truly wrong but I knew I overacted and not only did I feel terrible about the personal situation that has brought on this distress but now I was embarrassed about breaking down in public. I was going to leave it alone because I knew that I overreacted so no reason to call the studio and complain. I had bigger issues at hand. Then I get the email I'm copy and pasting below from a women name Karla the next day for the studio. I'm not sure what she seemed to gain out of sending this to me. She was obviously told I was upset and something bad happened to make me upset so why would you send me this email and make me feel worse? I feel bad leaving such a bad review but if it brings her insensitivity to the attention of the owner Jessica then I will leave this here. In hopes that if ever there was a chance that someone was having a truly horrible day. That something really bad might have happened in their life that Karla may learn compassion and empathy rather than be judgmental and condescending. After all we are all human beings trying to live our best life's. Let's try to be a little kinder to each other. That goes for strangers too. Hi , I understand you were having a rough day yesterday and caused quite a commotion in our studio. I wanted to reach out and reiterate what our desk staff suggested to you. We are unable to modify third party reservations in any way, and so unfortunately cannot cancel or refund a class that has been registered via ClassPass. We only have the power to check you in or mark you absent. Since you are technically a ClassPass client, if you ever have a personal emergency and need to cancel, I would suggest reaching out to ClassPass directly to explain your situation. Best of luck! Best, Karla read more

This review is long overdue! Harmony Studios has a cute conveniently located space. The ENTIRE experience is warm and welcoming from the moment you step into the studio, during class, and even after you leave. Karen, the owner, is an amazing Pilates instructor (possibly even the best instructor I've ever had and I've taken my share of Pilates classes and even privates). If I could afford her, I would have a private session every other day. I don't know of many instructors who are as knowledgeable as her when it comes to how the body works. Also, EVEN in a class setting, she is highly observant and knows your body's nuances, such as a dominant side or if one of your movements is come from one muscles or another. After only a couple of classes (emphasis on classes, not even privates) with her, she is familiar with my body and gives me modifications during class. Karen isn't the only skilled instructor, she carefully selects all the other instructors. You don't get newbies at Harmony Studios. Harmony Studios is especially ideal if you are suffering from injuries. It's important that you work out with someone who knows how to work around it. Thank you Karen and everyone at Harmony! read more

LOVE this studio! The space is beautiful, the trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and the staff is attentive and friendly. It's also conveniently (for me!) located in the heart of West Hollywood. It's a special place with a lot of history, not your average studio. read more

I took class with betsy this week, and let me just say the second I walked into this studio I could feel all of its amazing energy and everyone's inside of it. Truly amazing, truly sore, truly telling you to go take a class here ! read more

I took a class with Betsy and she was incredible! This was my first time using a reformer, and Betsy gave me the best introduction before class and explained all the different parts of the machine. She provided excellent adjustments through class and made sure I was doing the exercises in a safe way while simultaneously maximizing my muscle strength. I truly can't say enough good things-- I will be back to Harmony! read more

I heart Jen T! I trained with her before my wedding & got in amazing shape. She's awesome one on one but her Sunday class is great too....it's always full so sign up early.:) I know working out Sunday morning doesn't sound like fun but the studio is so quiet and it is really a treat! Jen's training style is very intuitive. After all of these years, I'm still amazed at how she can see which muscle I'm working correctly or incorrectly and instruct me on how to adjust my position successfully. She's the best & the studio is great too! read more

This update is long overdue. The original review was written immediately after I've been informed via email that I've lost out on 2 classes that I did not attend... with a bit of over-dramatization, frustration and ire. During one of the e-mail exchanges to work out schedule for my next class (back in October), I made known of my frustration re: the complex scheduling process to Karen, the owner. Who, in turn, was accommodating, generous, and was more than willing to restore my Groupon credits so that I can redeem the 3 classes remaining, even beyond the expiration date. I went online, checked all the available reformer classes in the EVENINGS, (unavailable during the day time, due to work), and offered Karen 4-5 options that may work for me. Karen replied, informed me I am now signed up for 1 of the options, while the other ones will be unknown, until the day of. Since they do not want to overcrowd a class of 4 with more than 1 Groupon user; essentially, the instructor will not be paid adequately. Which I completely understand and can sympathize with. However, that still brings me right back to square one: multiple email exchanges and ongoing wait-listing (as a Groupon user) so that I can get into 1 class. I want to end by reiterating that the experiences I've had with the instructors and owner were all positive; these are top grade teachers. I want the business to do well; I felt bad that the instructors were underpaid b/c of us Groupon users. But I still think there's gotta be an easier way to register for classes w/out having to exchange email 5 times, or be kept unknown of my registration status until the day of. read more

I had a really great experience here today. I felt like I was in a totally private Pilates class! I took the Reformer Pilates class with KJ Luker, who made me feel so comfortable in the studio. She just has an absolutely phenomenal presence, and really helped me with my form as I am pretty new to Pilates. Everybody in the studio could not have been more welcoming or gentle -- from the first "hello" I got when I walked in to the "have a great weekend!" I heard as I headed out the door. Thanks for such a great experience Harmony! I will definitely be back! read more

Very beautiful studio, the class is amazing, a lot of times I had classes with Jessica, and I love it, every single time. Jessica has passion with this business for years, I am sure it is worth it. Highly recommend read more

Harmony Studios is the best place to find state-of-the-art training in Pilates, fitness, TRX, Power Plate, Tower Pilates and yoga and more. I get to train my clients here and teach classes. The ambience is always harmonious. Staff is friendly. Little dogs often greet you. The design is lovely, with skylights and mellow enveloping color scheme. The equipment is spic and span, and there's even a shower for after your workout. read more

I had been searching for a Pilates studio since I moved back to West Hollywood. I found HARMONY STUDIOS on line and contacted them immediately. This studio is the best ever! The entire staff is amazing. They work with you at whatever level you are at with kindness, patience and gentle encouragement. AND IT'S FUN! The change in my overall fitness, stress level and self confidence since I began at Harmony is remarkable. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Went to a Platefit class with Leslie and it was great. Got some helpful Pilates advice from instructor Jennifer Martin while I was there. Parking was easier than I thought it would be and they have some dang cute workout clothes in their boutique. I had an all-around great time. Very energizing workout and the instructors and studio are welcoming and professional. read more

I've been a devotee of reformer pilates for years and can say, unequivocally, Harmony Studios is the best place I have taken classes. Allow me to give a bit of context: I travel quite a lot for work and have a reformer pilates destination for all my locations - NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles and London. Harmony Studios in Los Angeles is my absolute favourite! All the instructors are top notch. Karen, who is also the owner, is the best pilates teacher I have ever had. Her knowledge of the human anatomy is astounding. She cares deeply about her students and their well-being. Not only do I get an AMAZING work-out but I feel like I'm in a private session even though it's a group class! She is fantastic at making sure her students have proper form, which is imperative, in order to receive the best results. I rarely write reviews but am compelled to do so for Harmony Studios. I'm also addicted to Chad's Power Plate classes and Jen's TRX/Tower class!!! Like I said, every teacher here is fantastic, it just depends on what you are looking for in your pilates practise. The studio itself is so lovely. Parking is easy with meters on the street or on the nearby side streets. Wonderful staff, beautiful studio, superb teachers. What more could I wish for! After trying several pilates studios in L.A. Harmony Studios is hands-down the best! read more
