Maureen is great and a treasure, but this review is about the non-existent management. They don't respond to emails, they don't pick up the phone, the voicemail is full. It's impossible to get anything solved with them because they seemingly do not exist. Even when an instructor leaves the management a message, nothing. read more

I came here because of ClassPass and I'll definitely be coming back! I consider it sort of a no frills Pilates studio. I've definitely gone to studios that look nicer or have newer looking machines but I loved Erin's class. She was super welcoming knowing it was my first time attending this particular studio and explained the machine well. It was a great workout and I appreciated the energy Erin brought to the class. She gave me a small adjustment for one of the moves and I love when instructors provide adjustments. You don't know what you don't know so I'm always looking to improve my form. It's in a plaza and I came early so there was plenty of open parking spaces available. Always a plus! I'm not sure if the lot is large enough for every class member to have guaranteed parking but overall, for LA, this studio wins in the parking department. read more

I'm completely disappointed in this Pilates studio. I spent over $700 to buy classes for someone to attend classes. It is very hard to set up arrangements or utilize a gift card. They will tell you that you can just contact the Studio and they will apply it for you but when you call the number, you can't leave a message and then if sometimes it allows you to leave a message no one ever calls you back. I emailed numerous times over and over and never got a response. They actually owe me for a month and a week and I've never heard back nor have I received a credit. I would absolutely not recommend this Pilates studio. In fact, I feel like I was scammed. read more

I've been a member at this location for months. I like the classes and teachers, however there is absolutely no way of reaching customer support. I've called, texted, emailed repeatedly, and no one will respond. They owe me credits due to a teacher's no show and for other reasons as well. This feels so disrespectful, negligent, and lazy on their part. I probably will not be renewing my membership. read more

I came here on a MINDBODY app deal. The classes were okay. There's a variety of instructors. Most if not all of the classes revolve around the reformer. There are Pilates circles and weights available that will be used sometimes. Overall I thought the classes were okay, but I missed using the jump board which PIlatesPlus doesn't have. Parking is street parking. There is a little lot available which may have a spot once every while. Communication could be improved upon. I sent an email on my first day to the email listed on their website, never got a response. I had also called and left a message and got no response. Sent a follow-up email and still no response. Also I put myself on the waitlist for a class but never got notified that I was moved up to attendee and it counted against my class pack. I don't think I'd come back unless classes were booked up at other studios. Not enough variety for me, and the communication is nonexistent. read more

This has been my go-to pilates place for the last half a year. Out of the pilates studios I've tried, I think that Pilates Plus is the most 'intense' and I always go home feeling like I had a great workout. My favorite instructors are Anna-Lisa and Maureen. I did dock a star as I'm not a big fan of Jill as an instructor as her style is just not my style and it seems like she's been filling in for some of the classes Anna-Lisa and Maureen have previously taught. Totally understand that they deserve time off, but hopefully Pilates Plus can explore filling in with other instructors if possible since I've avoided booking classes the last couple weeks for this reason. Parking is a mixed bag - if you arrive at just the right time after the last class let out, you can probably snag a spot in the parking lot. But otherwise, the furthest I've ever had to park is down the street and the meter cost isn't TOO bad compared to other parts of LA. read more

Jill was fabulous! Everything you want in an instructor. She asked about my injuries and was amazing about providing modifications for me and others that needed them. Her music was fun, high energy just like Jill! She was also amusing and making us laugh which is important for these kinds of classes. Why only 4 stars? Hair. Stray hair. Freaks me out. A few times I put my feet on the ground and I guess it stuck to my grippy socks, but more than a few times I had to get hair off my machine. And someone took their socks off and idk why it was distracting and freaking me out a little. That being said I'll absolutely be back. Going to do the intro 8 classes for $99. Thanks Jill, you kicked my ass and it was fab! read more

Thanks to ClassPass, I was able to try out this studio. LOVED the class and the instructor was fabulous. I unfortunately don't remember her name, but she was very helpful towards me after I told her this was my first time at this studio. I haven't worked out for awhile, so this class really was challenging. I was sore for a couple of days. I will definitely be back! Clean class. Clean restroom. Downside: small shared parking lot. Metered parking short walk away near Starbucks. read more

Unfortunately the instructors here are incredible and the workout is fine but beware of allowing this business access to your credit card information. The membership program is set up so you have to reach out to administration to cancel and they do not respond to those inquiries. I've been working out at this studio for over a decade and they will not respond to me about needing to cancel the service. Meanwhile the system still tries to charge my credit card every night so I have had to keep it locked. Two weeks without any response but will gladly take money from customers. It's so disappointing but at least there are plenty of other lagree studios that won't try and steal from me. read more

Love this studio! It was one of the first Pilates studios that not just focused on form but often offer enough options to ensure I have a challenging enough of a workout. Every instructor I've had at this studio has been amazing! They have such good energy and will encourage you the whole way. The 45 minutes flew by! Parking is challenging, but you can always find street parking. Just double check the signs for when you cannot park due to street cleaning. read more

Wanted more of a sweat but my abs def were sore the next day. There's no one there to check you in. For a first timer it was super awkward.

I love the classes and instructors at Pilates Plus. My issue is with the owner and account management. I have written him 4 emails and left 4 voicemails with nothing in return. My questions: - Will I ever get reimbursed for the 2 classes that were unexpectedly canceled on me in March that I paid for? - Can I pause my membership if I have to go out of town for 2 weeks? I would be happy to get some feedback for these questions and delete this negative review if you can get back to me. read more

I used to really enjoy this studio. The coaches are fantastic, and the workouts are great, but I've encountered significant problems with their payment plans. For the past four months, I've been charged about $250 a month despite not having any current subscriptions. I've reached out multiple times without receiving any response. I've even switched credit cards three times to stop the charges. I'm hoping that they see this review so that it doesn't happen to anyone else. read more

I'm currently a member and will continue to be a member because of the teachers/workouts. I'm new to Pilates and it's kicking my butt- Leslie, Jill and Ana Lisa all deserve 5 stars. All very different teachers with different classes that are challenging and you leave feeling great. The ONLy reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the owner/management. He doesn't reply to emails or voicemails, literally ever(I think it's been 6 weeks since I emailed him and left a voicemail and he still hasn't responded). Sounds like he's just as absent when other members reach out. Maybe hire a studio manager or make an effort- the prices are the highest of any studio I've looked into and the owner/correspondence/machines needing updating should be kept on top of for the cost. Hopefully you don't lose your amazing instructors because We. Will. Follow. Them!!! read more

I love this place it was a great workout way more intense than the other pilates places I've tried. I'm thinking of purchasing the unlimited package. read more

DONT TAKE CLASS WITH JILL. As far as the class goes it was fine- just like any other standard pilates class- and I am sure the other instructors are great but my 1 star review goes to the instructor I had during my session, Jill. She is the kind of instructor who talks at you instead of to you. She was very condescending with me about my past experience with pilates as if she didn't believe me when she asked if I had done it before and I said "yes". She would stand over me and give only me corrections and no one else in the class and I don't mind corrections but she would tell me things and then I would say thank you and look away because she was making me uncomfortable and she would literally stand over me until I did the correction EXACTLY how she wanted it. People around me were giving her weird looks and she didn't seem to notice. Finally because she made me so uncomfortable because of her demeanor towards me I said "I am ok with adjustments for today thank you. I would like to just focus on my class"... She ignored me and continued to hover over me like a drill sergeant- I used to TEACH pilates so clearly this wasn't about the actual adjustments she just had a power/control thing going on. When I asked nicely to just focus on my workout she got super defensive and started ARGUING WITH ME- during the class! I just stopped talking because I found the interaction so unprofessional and so embarrassing. I am a teacher myself and she had no clue that she was coming across as such a bully. At the end of the class I got up to leave- and she called out after me in this sick pretend sweet voice "thank you SO much Danielle have a GREAT day!!!" Probably because she realized she was unprofessional and that I would write this review. Lol. Again- if you take class there fine but I would recommend avoiding Jill if you don't want to feel like you are dealing with someone who is insecure and totally unprofessional. read more

The instructors have been nothing but nice. However, I purchased a membership and only went to 2 classes. The website would not let me book more. I would call the number to no answer. My membership expired without being able to redeem the rest of my classes. Drove to the studio to talk someone last month. They told me they would email me back. It's been 3 months since I purchased my membership. Irresponsible owners that are stealing people's money. read more

I just had my first class at this studio with Leslie. Just wow. Simply wow. The class was definitely intense and difficult, but you leave feeling amazing. She makes you feel welcome and has the best energy - she was dancing and singing around throughout the entire class, totally motivating you and amping you up. She directs you to do the moves properly and you could definitely feel the burn. Can't wait to go back for another class. UPDATE: Just had my third class there with Angie, who is easily one of my favorite instructors ever. She gives you an intense class, but helps you go at your pace and encourages doing the moves properly and ensures you don't do anything to injure yourself. She pays attention to everyone in class and keeps you motivated all the way through. Her instructions are clear and the class overall leaves you feeling amazing. She is incredibly nice, but focused. Love her and I will definitely be attending her class as often as I can. read more

I've been going to this studio for years. I take classes with Maureen and Anna-Lisa and keep coming back. Great, efficient, friendly 45-minute workouts which are intense but very doable. I love this studio and these 2 instructors! read more

I was scheduled to take a pilates class with them on Sept 6th. The instructor got COVID and they did the admirable thing of cancelling the class for everyone's safety. I called them 3x and emailed them 3x to get a refund of the class that was cancelled. No one responded to my voicemails or emails. I sent them emails and on Sept 14th, Sept 14th, Sept 16th, and Sept 19th. I am finally submitting a chargeback through my bank because there's apparently no way for this business to contact you. Unprofessional behavior. read more

Such a disappointment. I purchased a class to attend with a friend but they canceled my class due to building maintenance so we rescheduled but couldn't make it due to the pride parade blocking off streets. My friend made it and they offered to put my class back on my account. They told us to send an email. I've sent 6 emails, called 2 times and even stopped by but it was closed. No one has ever gotten back to me. Maybe this review will help someone get back to me. read more

PROS: - Different instructors here have different teaching styles ranging from boot camp style lagree Pilates to a more classical approach... nice to go to one studio that offers both kinds of Pilates - No frills, literally it's a room with a bunch of reformers and you go straight to working out - Friendly instructors CONS: - Because the teaching style varies so differently from instructor to instructor, if you aren't familiar with the instructor for the day then you can't be sure what type of workout you'll get for that day (lagree vs. classical vs. mixed style Pilates) If you're looking for a Pilates studio with my uniform style of teaching across all instructors, you may not like this place - Reformers are sooo old, if I remember correctly one of the instructors told me it is the very first generation of the megaformer. I think recently they replaced some of the padding on the reformer which makes it better, but overall their machines are still really old read more

I'm pretty conflicted about this place. PROS: Solid instructors. Lots of classes. Good summer specials. - Julia: Awesome. Patient. Funny. Lots of nuanced attention. - Erika: Solid. Great sense of humor. - Sorel: Solid. Great workout. Lots of good posture corrections. - Kayla: Solid. Kicks your ass. Never stops smiling. CONS: Very aggravating overall experience. Haughty policies. 1) The owner called me a liar. I'm new to pilates, but I tried these guys because they offered a free first class and a special "$99 a month, for up to 3 months" introductory offer. I'm thinking "$300 bucks for three months of accountable exercise = exactly what I need." I tried their free class and found it pretty rigorous, but doable. They contacted me by email, asking if I wanted to try the "$99 special." I entered my credit card number on the site and they ran it for $99. I sent a follow up email saying "do I need to declare now if I want the full 3 months?" They replied saying, "we stopped doing that offer." I checked the site and the offer had indeed been removed. I replied, "that offer was on the site as recently as Monday. Can I still get it? I assumed that $99 offer was the $99 offer I agreed to." They replied, that the "$99 for up to 3-months" was NEVER posted on their site "for exactly this reason." (?) I replied that whatever happened, the offer probably had been on their site. Maybe it was on the site, then got switched out in refresh, or update, or maybe it's an orphaned link that's only accessible from one click path? Because "$99 - for up to 3 months" is pretty specific thing to for me to imagine, if it ALSO happens to be the EXACT deal they offered. If I'm wrong, that's a big coincidence. They replied, they "don't get paid to discuss probability" HA! I can admit I should have dropped it. Did I drop it? I did not. I replied with "bummer," and added my belief that the offer had been removed so recently this left little possibility for this being an authentic misunderstanding. The OWNER'S reply... "I am afraid that if you insist that you learnt of the offer from our website then I am forced to quite bluntly say that you are being untruthful since I know for a fact that the offer was never posted there. I must ask you halt this charade...." AND followed up by mentioning I could get $10-to-$15 off a full priced membership if I can commit to a direct withdrawal monthly auto-pay. (What a thoughtful offer. I WOULD like an ongoing relationship with you. You're obviously a square dealer and have created a good rapport.) 2) Their reservation system seems predatory. It charges the customer for cancellations with less than 8 hours notice, BUT doesn't guarantee which teacher will appear, or that the class will take place. Classes might start late - one class started 15 minutes late. I had to leave it 15 minutes early (AKA on time). No credit was ever offered for any of the incomplete classes. Their time must be more important than our time. OVERALL: Know what you're getting into. Try to avoid management. Check them out if they're convenient and you're getting an amazing price (but don't commit until they honor it.) read more

Holy cow. Amazing class. Sorel was amazing. I mean a tough freaking work out. It was my first time encountering this type of Pilates class. I prefer it over any barre class now Sorel gave a GREAT class. She just gave the choreography and demonstrated on nearby machines. She didn't shout. Everything felt so calm even though everyone's heartbeat was audible and sweat dripped down everyone's face. She gave correction when needed. The energy was great. Very subtle, nothing over the top. I loved it!! Really intense SPX. Highly recommend it. Classes run until the very end. Parking lot but street parking can be easy too.. Well sometimes, it's still Silverlake. read more

Instructors are great. The method works. This studio needs help. The owner is detached and doesn't maintain the business efficiently. There have been a number of occasions now where I've shown up to class only to then find out it's been canceled. This is beyond frustrating to carve out time in my day to work out, drive through LA traffic and not be able to. Getting credited is a process too. Bathrooms often missing soap or paper towels. Don't recommend this studio. read more

Pilates Plus Silverlake is a no frills, killer workout spot. There's nothing fancy about the studio,(the new owner has done a nice job with cleaning the place up a little and making sure the machines work) but it gets the job done as far as an effective workout that leaves your abs sore! Their total body class is great, but their SPX extreme on weekends with Leslie kicks my butt everytime! She plays good music, is hilarious and tells stories, and really focuses on ab work and oblique work. Everytime I leave my abs are so sore the next day. Parking is fairly easy- there's a small lot and tons of street parking on Griffith Park. I never wear grip socks, and they provide a water machine and wipes to clean the machine after. It's not as luxe as other Pilates studios, but for a local spot in Silverlake, it's fantastic and I always break a great sweat. read more

Thank you Chava!!! I was so excited for my mom to come to town to try your Pilates class for the first time...and she is hooked! I have been telling her for months how much I love your classes and how insanely amazing the workouts are! Thank you for helping her get through the class and all of the one on one instruction you provided her! Your classes are fantastic and you are always so attentive with instruction and any modifications needed, plus you bring a great sense of humor to help get us through the pain;) thank you for everything and for helping this new mama get back into shape:) I cannot express enough what an incredible studio this is. As being a working mom the early and late night classes have been amazing to have!! They are my go to! All the teachers her are amazing! I am obsessed with Angie,Sophia and Leslie's classes! The other teachers I have had were amazing too! Just can't go to their times due to schedule. But these ladies push your booty the entire class!!! If you are ready for a change in your body this def is the place! And the instructors will make you laugh and will push you the whole 50mins!! Love this place!!! read more

I've taken two classes at this studio (thanks to their previous Yelp offer) and Chava really made me appreciate what pilates can do for your body. Although the machines are intimidating, the moves are subtle yet effective. Chava makes cute but motivational quips throughout the session that makes the hour breeze by. I feel stronger and leaner already and didn't kick and scream at the thought of attending each class. Although I haven't had to use the online system to reserve a spot, the idea of it makes the always online girl in me giddy with excitement that I can just click over to a new tab and schedule a time to work out without having to exert any real energy! I can be fit and organized at the same time. read more

Finally got to try this place thanks to ClassPass! At first I was a bit intimidated reading the descriptions of the different classes they offer but I went ahead and booked the SPX Total Body Workout with Sorel. I've tried pilates reformer only a handful of times awhile back so I considered myself a first timer again. Luckily when I came in, two other girls were first timers as well so she showed us how the machine works. It looks like a crazy contraption at first but you get the hang of it. Sorel's class has definitely become my favorite and I plan on taking her again...her music selection sets her apart from all other instructors and best suits my tastes! Pilates/pilates reformer are the best types of workout I've tried and you can tell just by looking at the instructors. Six packs are the most common thing you will see, and if that doesn't prove it enough, I don't know what will. The moves are small and subtle but you notice results proving its effectiveness. Also a huge plus is the dedicated parking lot and its proximity to Trader Joes (across the street)! read more

My body is starting to get so toned, thanks to this place. Pilates classes are expensive, but it's for a reason--they really work. All of the teachers are very understanding for new students and give you the attention and motivate you to keep pushing. I work on the computer all day, so since I started going to pilates, i feel like my back isn't hurting anymore and my posture is so much better. Pilates Plus is changing my life! (2 months later adding to the review) Extreme classes with Leslie on Saturdays are the best, she mixes basic pilates strength training principles in a bootcamp fast-paced cardio environment that will be sure to kick your butt and carve your body into shape! (1 year later) I am in such amazing shape, and I mostly want to thank Cate for that. She is hands down the best teacher at this studio and plays the best music. read more

This studio doesn't practice traditional 'Pilates' if that's what you're looking for... to be fair, it is called Pilates PLUS. It's essentially a strength/toning workout on a reformer. If you do go, be sure to be careful and practice at the pace that is comfortable and safe for you because of the many times that I've worked out here, there's always been a wishy-washy standard of instructing. If you're a beginner don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions because they won't prepare you and it doesn't matter how fit/experienced you are, how they conduct a class could barely be considered safe. Not good enough for what you're paying. The only instructor at this studio who seems to care about the customer is Katie. She's great. She pays careful attention to your alignment and general well-being. Other instructors I've worked with tend to look at themselves in the mirror a hell of a lot. I think I frowned/grimaced at one the entire class and she didn't notice because she was too busy checking herself out. Also she didn't know how to articulate properly... there is nothing worse than trying to understand an instructor who talks like a dying crow over loud music. You simply can not be heard. She's in dire need of articulation lessons. And a male instructor actually threw me off my balance because he was enjoying watching himself dance so much. And another was looking at her phone every time I looked at her. Poor work ethic. I'm not a cynic... I'm younger than all of the instructors and have never written a yelp review. I just get really pissed-off when I waste my hard-earned money on a half-assed business. It's not ok. Typical LA BS. Yeah it's a good workout, I just don't think that's enough to justify the cost/irritation. I'd take your money elsewhere, get two workouts for the price of one of these and go for a run. read more

Um. What in the hell was I doing before Pilates Plus Silverlake? You guys, it's awesome. I've been going about a month now, and I can already see and feel a difference in my body. I've never been one to love working out but, PPSilverlake seems to be changing that. I've started looking forward to classes! The online booking system helps you plan your week's workouts effectively. Leslie, Erika, Pat, Katie...all of the instructors that I've worked with are great, and very helpful to beginners. PS- Wanna sweat a whole bunch? Do you like laughing? Take Leslie's class. read more

Beware of all the hidden fees. Like... having to buy an entirely new wardrobe. I waited until I finished my first year here to leave a review. I had always been intimidated by "specialized" studios, but wasn't seeing any consistent results going to the gym. When I got engaged last spring, I bit the bullet and took my first class. I knew I was in love as soon as I pulled into my driveway after class. I wasn't sure I could even get out of the car I was already so sore. I became a Leslie devotee then and there. A year later, two weeks until the wedding day, I couldn't be happier with the results. I just threw away half of my closet and had my engagement ring taken down a size. And just remember, it never hurts as bad as the first time! read more

I've had saddlebags since??? I can't remember how long? Most of my life? And nothing this side of starvation has made them go away. Until Pilates Plus Silverlake. Now it's more like, "WHAT saddlebags?" Furthermore, my mom AND my (gay) chiropractor randomly smack my butt as I walk by and say "Damn, nice ass honey!". For me? That's all the incentive I need to keep on going. I've never had a perky butt. Cute, yes, but perky enough to put a plate of mixed greens on? No. Now, it's just a whole new view back there. :) But wait, there's more. My back has soft tissue damage from two car accidents involving whiplash, plus an old dance injury. I'd been in $1000's of dollars of therapy for years with rolfing, feldencrais, hanna somatic movement AND chiropractic. I still see my amazing chiropractor once a month but I'd have to say, going to PP Silverlake 3-4 times a week is the kicker. (It took some time to be able to say this. I had to start slow and work my strength up for months, just so you know) My back has not spasmed-out in a YEAR! (IT used to pop out - slipped disc- about once every two months. Now? Not at all for a year!) I used to miss work, my life, my friends, my happiness once a month for up to 5 days (not to mention the excruciating pain). Now, no more pain, no more loss of mobility, no more loss of wages. So, yeah, I'm goin'! My favorite instructors are Danna (she'll be back in a month and well worth the wait), Brandon and Chava. Brandon and Danna have the best music but all have a fantastic repertoire of movements, pacing, encouragement and coaching right when you need it. I especially like how Chava said the other day that, depending on how rigorous you decide to make your work out (all may work out at own level, which is so liberating! Not all days are 100% days, right? but some are 125%, so there you go), if you really kick it up? You can continue to burn calories AFTER your workout. I am told that each session can burn about 500 calories pretty easily. I also like the freedom of choice in the classes. You can adjust your weights with each move, yes, but I sometimes switch a move here and there that might be more back-friendly for me on certain days I'm not 100% for example, and I never get flack for it. There is no ego here, as far as I can tell. We're all sweating and wobbling and shaking and workin' it! BTW I don't go to the gym at all. And I look amazing (depending on what types of food I'm consuming in general). I get all my muscle building and cardio plus flexibility work right in one place. I budget for this and find it to be, for me, in no way frivolous. For me it is necessary and I don't bat an eye at the cost even though my income is modest. I like that you sign up for classes on line. It's very easy and user friendly. So there you have it. Oh, I also wish they offered more than one stretch class. I've not been able to go in months because it's always full waaaay ahead of time. read more

Times a change and so do the instructors. Nowadays here's la creme de la creme: Sorel (best full body workout) Leslie (best calorie burn intense insanity get your moneys worth) Cate (awesome workout, tries new things, keeps it interesting) Ricky (tough workout, nice and sweet guy) Pat (energy and awesome like you wouldn't believe) Best workout ever. I will be a pilates aficionado until the day I die. Tones you up in a flash. read more

This place is great. The classes are a bit pricey, but if you get a 30 day package the cost per class goes down to a fairly reasonable rate, assuming you can afford that lump sum. I really enjoy the speed and variety of exercises. I would recommend going 2-3 times per week to see the results. I've been going 3 days per week and I can feel myself getting stronger after about 6 weeks. I've taken classes with Katie, Celine, Sorel, Summer, and Angie. Katie is the best. She's incredibly encouraging and enthusiastic. She always demos the exercise or has a student demo. She walks around the room and helps everyone to make sure they are doing the exercise correctly. She also offers modifications for those who need to do the exercises at greater or lesser strengths. Celine is also a really great teacher. She's encouraging, she demos the exercises, and she helps students, and offers modifications when needed. If you are new I wouldn't recommend taking a class with Sorel or Angie, as neither offers any help to students or encouragement. read more

Prepare yourself for a heartbreaking story, however please read the UPDATE as well. Recently I had a quick(on the whim) meet with the studio manager Khava. I was about to commit to purchasing a pricey package of private classes at a competing studio and after doing some additional yelp research, I thought it necessary to swing by this studio, get a proper feel for the place and then make a more educated decision. Given that the cost of classes was more affordable at Pilates Plus, and after speaking to Khava, who seemed to be informative and welcoming enough, I decided to commit to a private class at Pilates Plus. She took my number and promised to call me with a date/time and instructor that would be a perfect match for my first class. This was two weeks ago. I've called the studio two or three times since, left messages and still no call back. It's truly unfortunate, as I can't help but feel a bit discriminated against. When speaking to Khava, I had made a grand emphasis on how important this lifestyle change would be for me, as I have been feeling unwell for a long time and finally have some of my energy back. Perhaps they stray from taking new clients which have physical signs of illness? Regardless, their customer service is subpar in comparison to what it should be. When you walk into the studio to discuss options you are essentially walking through a class. There is a flimsy desk behind the equipment, no chair to sit at. Although I am an earth lover and not a paper waste enthusiast, I would expect at least one print out of their classes offered. Something so one can sit, reference, and discuss with the studio manager prior to taking the financial pilates plunge. Given Pilates Plus made the decision to essentially reject me as a client, I've gone ahead and booked an introductory package at a studio nearby. It may be a bit more costly however this studio just had a brilliant feel overall. They have a reception area, with seating, a price list and schedule available and their staff is warm and welcoming. They called to follow up the same day. I could feel the positive energy. Must run, I'm off to get my cat stretches and high kicks on. UPDATE: After receiving a call from Khava today, she explained that she was unavailable due to some personal and extenuating circumstances, which I understand can happen. Considering all the highly noted reviews, I am comfortable in saying this was probably an isolated incident that will not happen to anyone else. read more

Having been to numerous lagree studios in socal, i have experienced different styles of classes. My first session here was 5 stars, with Leslie. She had high energy, the class was challenging, as it always is, but she had great humor and upbeat to make the time go by faster. This morning's class is worthy of 3 stars. Not because the class was any less challenging. On the contrary, I found the sequence challenging. HOWEVER, the instructor is the only reason for the # of stars. From the beginning til the end I had a very bad impression. I walked up to check in and she gave an unfriendly vibe. It was like I was inconveniencing her. Ok I get that its early in the morning and maybe her caffeine hadnt kicked in yet but still NOT ok to be rude. Throughout class, she had zero energy. She failed to motivate anyone. She had zero commentary for each move (ex: "you should be feeling this in your ___ area" or "to be effective, you should make sure the weight is in your ____"). NOTHING. There were no motivational words either. There was at least one person who was trying lagree for the first time or at the very least new and this poor girl barely got any guidance. There were many reformers free to show the class the correct form. On my way out, I thanked her and surprise surprise, no response. Anyways, I will definitely go back because I love lagree and the studio is great. But I will steer clear of this instructor's classes. Cannot stress enough the importance of instructors. read more

Looks like PP didn't like my review since it disappeared all of a sudden. I wish I had better news to report since everyone else has given it such rave reviews. I purchased a series of classes and found out the day I was supposed to attend a 6:30pm that my friend was rushed to the hospital around 5:00pm. I called and of course NO ONE answered the phone PER USUAL. I left a vm and then followed up with an email explaining my absence. Never heard back. I sent two more emails the following day and FINALLY heard back from them stating that they were not going to allow me to make up the missed class. I've been a Bar Method freak for years and they ALWAYS have someone answering the phones and returning messages which is especially helpful if there are emergencies where you may not necessarily have a computer handy. Having to deal with my friend's accident and then this news has left a very sour taste in my mouth. Needless to say I will not return here after my series is done. And a 24 hour cancellation policy is just absurd! read more

I'm in pain all over my body, so I had to literally roll off my bed this morning. The crazier part is that I am in love with this feeling! Chava is a great instructor! She's pleasant, helpful, and a great motivator. When she advised that we'll have a total body workout, I didn't think much of it. But I'm sore all over, even in places I have never felt sore before. She really helped us to work every nook and cranny of our bodies and it was so much FUN. After just a single workout, I noticed my posture was better and my stomach feels flatter already. I can't wait to go back! read more
