I am obsessed with this facility and personal training staff. I have some pounds to shred and see a personal trainer outside of John Gary. I wasn't finding the motivation or will power to do extra cardio on my own. I signed up for the 2 week trial and have only missed 1 day. The instructors are nice and personable. They are extremely helpful and I have never been more motivated. I'm thinking I will become a regular monthly member. Love this place, worth every penny. read more

Great place with lots of variety. All instructors have been great, I love the spin class. Friendly and helpful staff. Signing up for classes on line ahead of time is the key to hapiness. read more

I owe this place a thank you for introducing me to pilates. It is truly my favorite workout. Great group and private classes. Worth the money. I won't go to the other place across the street. This is the best. read more

Third week....love the professional service and their commitment to helping and supporting body and mind....so understanding while still being very business like....so far still very happy! Thank you to Jake and Devon(hopefully spelled correctly)...also Jessica at front desk....thank you ! read more

Fantastic studio!! I've had a couple short-term memberships (unlimited spin classes and unlimited group fitness) and enjoyed all the classes and instructors, particularly Fitness Trampoline, TRX+, Joe, Rachel, Alexen, Chase, and of course Susan at the front desk who always remembers your name! Wish I could join again but the membership fees run a little too deep for me. read more

I have been attending the spin classes in the evenings for the past few months. Adam G. is the most amazing instructor. He pushes you to take it to the next level. Because of his classes it has improved my training out on the road and made it much easier for the longer distances and increased hill work that I am doing. I always look forward to class and always feel like I get something out of it. read more

Still coming here because it is the best studio in the area! I've been coming for more than three years and they've helped me back from injuries and kept me strong during pregnancy and post natal. The instructors are supportive, will give you modifications any time you need them (injuries or just getting back into shape). Come here for a great work out, friendly staff and world class instructors! read more

I have been going to this studio now for over 5 years and have enjoyed it immensely. From the beginning the staff have all been the friendliest, welcoming, knowledgable and supportive group of people I've dealt with in any business setting. They have an incredible array of classes that not only include private and group pilates, but spinning, cardio and sculpting classes that are always changing. It is so fun because they include all kinds of new and unique equipement. I've taken classes with trampolines, the Bosu, hula-hoops and now they've just added TRX. I have not taken a class yet in TRX, but excited for another new option. I have taken EVERYTHING else and love it all! They have classes every day and they have class packages to give you options on what you want to spend and you don't need to become a member...which is why I don't belong to a gym. I love the place and is why it's the only place I go to workout (other than outside)!!! read more

I have had the BEST experience at this studio. After taking a spin class at another studio and having a not so great experience, I tried their 6a spin class with Ricca, who was so helpful in helping me set up my bike and really introducing me to the 'art' of spin. Today, I took their Fitness Trampoline class and boy, did Alexen kick my butt! Love him! But don't take this one lightly...even the fittest person is going to sweat buckets! Will definitely add this to my list of fitness classes. read more

Pilates instructor Sarah Swain is the best. so much fun, love the clean space and equipment. All the instructors are great it's just Sarah Swain is awesome! read more

I've been a JGP client for over four years and have been challenged every time I walk into the studio. John and his team are always striving to keep the workouts exciting and they always succeed. Just when I start getting used to a workout, BOOM, it is changed to throw a needed twist at the body. Fun fun fun! The new TRX workouts are incredible! All of JGP's employees are amazingly friendly and quickly learn every client's name. It's like walking into Cheers bar where "everyone knows your name." It's really easy to look forward to working out when you are greeted with such love. If you want to get in the best shape of your life ... JGP is the place to go. With cardio, strength training and Pilates reformer classes, there is no reason to join another gym. All your workouts are here waiting for you to jump on board. I just saw on the website that new clients get a free orientation and 15% discount. So, what are you waiting for? read more

I was really disappointed by my experience with this organization; Heather was quite rude and condescending to me, setting a sour tone for the studio, which seemed to be filled with an air of arrogance and sterility rather than one of compassion, support and the promotion of wellness/health - which is what a Pilates studio should provide for its clients. read more

I've been coming to JGF&P for nearly a year. It is the best workout place EVER!!! They have a variety of classes that really help with cross training. Classes start early am and run to noon then from 4p-7p and 140 class choices!! My faves are Spin, Trampoline, Strength, TRX, Stretch, Trampoline HIIT and Barre just to name a few! You will see a change in your physique in no time - their workouts aren't only awesome and fun they WORK!! Check it out and start off the New Year at John Garey Fitness and Pilates - you won't be disappointed!!! Double thumbs up to trainers Devon, Jake, Todd, Joe, Rachel, Kelly, Sarah, & Alexen - thanks for your inspiration and motivation!! read more

I'm a big fan of John Garey Pilates studio. Here's just a few reasons as to why: 1. John Garey is incredible - his passion and dedication to each and one of his clients is infectious and motivating 2. JGP's Instructor Staff is absoutely the BEST- very knowledge, geninue and they push you in each and every class. 3. The studio is beautiful, peaceful and dynamic 4. The class schedule and workshop schedules offer plenty of options and definitely keeps you interested - no hum drum for this studio! 5. I always leave feeling better after class - Each hour is so much fun and worth the drive. BTW, I drive from Laguna Beach to Long Beach to work out ... And yes, there are plenty of Pilates studios along the coast but I think it's pretty clear that JGP is worth the time! Go to JGP - You will fall in love. read more

Amazing Studio, amazing instructors and staff. I wouldn't go anywhere else! They are as good as it gets! Thanks John Garey and staff!

So happy to be a member of JGFP. This small boutique-style studio has an extensive schedule of fitness & pilates classes that are all taught by highly motivating and well-qualified instructors. JGFP is the "Cheers" of fitness clubs. It is truly a place "where everybody knows your name." This local gem provides a friendly and fun workout environment for members to not only meet their fitness goals but also make lasting friendships. read more

i've now been working out at john gary pilates for a month and out of all the instructors it's no surprise that John Gary is the best and most motivating by far! he has a great personality and gives you a lot of one on one attention and makes you feel good. I'm a girl who loves her food, alcohol, and time spent on the couch so much that it takes a lot to get me excited about working out. John really gets me pumped and pushes me to the next level. I love it so far and am trying to recruit all my friends. I havent found one instructor i didn't like! Joe,samantha,lindsey,jamie,etc...are all awesome in different ways. I'm already getting a lot more toned and if only i could stop eating all the crappy junk food i'd be losing weight lol I blame Yelp for my food addiction. Anyway the only class i hate is TRX lol caaaaaant stand it...it hurts too effin much but besides that...no compaints. Prices are super fair and im even considering joining the xtc workshop at the end of the month. anyone know how much it is? read more

I don't usually write reviews unless I feel this is something everyone should know about. John Garey Fitness & Pilates is an outstanding fitness place. I had never done pilates before. Although the workouts can be challenging, the instructors are all very encouraging and friendly. They ask at the start of each class if anyone has any health concerns or injuries they should know about and this is good because then they'll show you how to adjust your workout. If they see you are struggling with an exercise they definitely will help you. I love that the classes are small compared to classes at 24-hour Fitness or LA Fitness. They do offer personal training.I would recommend signing up for classes online versus signing up at the front desk because the classes fill up quickly. They don't just have pilates but also Spinning, Barre Pilates (my favorite), TRX, Cardio HIT, just to name a few. Overall really fun, friendly and clean environment. This place is a must see and try place. read more

This is THE place to go for the very best Pilates classes and instructors. Pricey but well worth it, nice studio/location, friendly atmosphere and members. The Spinning classes are addictive. I LOVE working out here. read more

I have been going to John Garey for several years and have been so blessed with the people and trainers I have met. The classes are so energizing and a cross reference of different types of cross training. It is like a small family which I love for a gym! read more

I bought a membership about a month ago and have been almost everyday since then! I love the environment and the instructors. Thanks to the help and kindness of the instructors, I have really grown in my Pilates practice in the last month! I love John Garey fitness and Pilates! read more

I used to do private Pilates classes here...Spent about $600 a month for 3 years...Really loved it til one day they had a special an I paid cash for 10 classes...That same day my husband purchased 10 classes for me...so I used up the classes my husband bought me an when I went back they told me I needed to buy more...so I said no I still have 10 more classes...moral of the story is DO NOT EVER PAY CASH!!!!! I GOT TOTALLY RIPPED OFF!!!!! Even tho my instructor witnessed my cash purchase...The owner said tough shit...My mistake was saying I didn't need a receipt....an his mistake was he's lost out on thousands of my hard earned cash....Oh an buy the way I met a gal who told me the same thing happened to her!!!!! I want to add that I've talked with Mike B an he has offered to give me 10 private Pilates classes...So I've changed my review from 1 star to 3 stars...But for me I have no desire to step foot in there again... read more
