Daniella, Ken, Nathalie and Regina are all amazing teachers, Daniella and Ken in particular have really strengthened my Pilates practice!

Since starting at Studio Elevate last January (2025), I can run again. The exercises on the…read moremega-reformer have strengthened enough parts of my body so that my knees no longer hurt when I run. Going to pilates has been cheaper and more fun than physical therapy, that's for sure! I thought I would never be one of "those people" who did reformer pilates, but I am a convert. I like that the classes are only 45 minutes, it turns out you can do a lot of strength training in that time. All of the teachers are wonderful and supportive. I love all of them. They also agreed to support my son's elementary school PTA by donating several starter packs (thank you Renee!) to our silent auction. I bring the cost of attending through Classpass and the upfront purchase of a 20-class pack, which enables me to go between 6-8 times a month. Getting there: I walk, occasionally I drive (there is parking in front on Wilshire and in the back). I try to bike, since that involves cardio. When I do, I bring my bike inside the studio. Lastly I don't know how they do it, but the studio always smells wonderful and comforting.

I went for their fundamentals class as I am newer to reformer pilates. The studio had great…read moreambiance and was very clean. They have 8 machines in total which I think is the perfect number. Our instructor, Ashley, was very kind and kept the class motivated. She would go around and make sure everyone had proper form and gave good direction. They have grip socks for purchase in case you don't have or forget them. Very comfy and of good quality. Parking in the lot behind the building is free. 10/10 would recommend to friends and coworkers in the area!!

Our instructor, Tori, was the absolute sweetest, and I love how she was so friendly and attentive to everyone in class, regardless of experience level. She took the time to introduce herself to me and my boyfriend before the class, answered any questions we had, and even personally checked up on us after the session to see how we liked it. Her Pilates workout was very challenging, but definitely doable, even for a beginner like myself, and I appreciated how she walked by to check on my form, gave encouragement, and allowed us to take breaks as needed. My boyfriend (who regularly gyms/lifts heavy weights everyday) and I both agreed that the heated reformer Pilates workout was super effective at universally working out our back, back, core, glute, and leg muscles. The studio itself was very modern, with dark curtains/windows for both the mat and reformer rooms, and wall mirrors to check your form (although the reformers were quite far from them). I'll definitely be back again at Tunnel once I get a bit more experience under my belt, and I highly recommend checking them out for well-designed, challenging Pilates workouts!

Not just to form, but to the felt experience of movement. Nothing about her teaching is performative. She observes quietly, offers minimal but meaningful cues, and allows the body to arrive in its own time. Her pacing respects the nervous system. No push, no hype--just clarity, breath, and a quiet strength that builds from within. It's rare to find a teacher who can hold space for both challenge and ease without overstating either. My body left her class feeling more organized, more spacious. It wasn't just exercise--it was repair. If you're navigating injury, fatigue, or just want to move without being barked at, Nadia's work is subtle, rigorous, and rare.

I have tried out a couple of their free teacher-in-training classes on the Megaformer as well as the TreadX + Pilates classes. The overall workout is a bit more intense than traditional pilates, but you can definitely modify. The instructors are also all very supportive and motivating. The studio is also very clean and well maintained. Another plus (that I haven't seen anywhere else) is that they offer towels during your session free of charge. Other tips: there is metered parking on the street, cubbies, a water dispenser, and a bathroom. I am hooked, and can't wait to get in to try more classes!

The studio is not only spotless, but the vibe is immaculate. The reformer is intimidating being a first time Pilates goer, but Stephanie and Carina were not only kind and knowledgeable, but they kicked my ass! I am a weightlifting girl but nothing has killed my body like Coreology (in a good way). I swear I can see my body toning and I have only done two classes. What I loved most is that the instructors care about each individual. They come around frequently and correct your form & make sure you're working the reformer and your body to your best potential. I honestly can't say enough about how much I love this place & I can't wait to continue on my weekly visit to Coreology.

Jill trained personally in New York City with Romana Kryzanowska, who was Joseph Pilates' protege for many years. There are only a handful of individuals who learned the real, true and powerful original method, as Mr. Pilates intended; Jill is one of those people. To learn from her is a true gift. Jill has an incredible intuition for training and healing all sorts of bodies. Pilates Technique offers a very well rounded education in classical Pilates. Not only does the training program include beginning to advanced exercises on the Reformer, the Cadillac, Mat, Wunda Chair, and the Electric Chair, it also includes lectures on Anatomy, and Business. Jill's assistants, as well as Jill herself are always available for questions and help.

You pass the barber shop, enter the small open courtyard and go through the gate to go upstairs. Very tucked away. The studio is small with 5 reformer machines.

I believe there is meter parking only, but it's never too difficult to find, especially on 6th Street.
