Love. I've taken Pilates before in my life and gotten bored and given up. This place is different. It's the attention to detail and the way they care that makes all the difference. It's clean and they have many modalities for your body. Go there! read more

Positive staff and clientele. I found it a little tricky with my schedule since I'm just starting Pilates and wasn't level 2 yet. Studio is nice and there is parking. Great receptionist I left my water bottle and they called me and saved it for me. I think noticed most people in the Pilates classes were probable in their 40s-50s. I heard the Zumba classes draw a younger crowd- look forward to trying that. read more

I have been going to PSC for over two years now. I have tried their group classes as well as privates and I am a big fan. In the matter of fact I recommend PSC to all of my patients as all the instructors there are very knowledgeable and professional. Not only that they provide a great workout session but they also work on your posture, correct your bad habits and get you out of pain. read more

So happy to have found PSC! I am in my mid-sixties and not in great shape - yet! Between the Gyrokinesis classes (love love love!) and private Pilates I am feeling so much stronger than I was just a few short months ago. Can't wait to try some other classes soon... And really hope Lora will be able to add more Gyrokinesis. Thanks to everyone at the studio, most especially Sue, Lora and Namona for your professionalism, cleanliness (really important to me after being turned off at nearby Yoga studio's disgusting habits) and the fun in making exercise a joy! read more

I had my first class yesterday with Nancey at PSC and it was amazing. I took a Mat Pilates class and I really enjoyed her instruction and her attention to detail. The studio also has a great atmosphere. I am exited to take another class and would recommend this studio to anyone. read more

You know how it goes, you check out yelp reviews, you look online and try to figure out what would be a good fit. I chose PSC for a couple reasons. For starters they are a block away from me so no excuses anymore!! But, more importantly, I loved hearing how professional the instructors were and how clean the studio was. I signed up for an initial class with Jana and I fell in love with Pilates. She made me feel so comfortable and never "judged" for not being able to do a certain move. Oh, did I mention, I'm out of shape and overweight. She was so encouraging and fun, I signed up for 8 private classes. Now I'm ready for group classes and I feel stronger and more confident. This is a gem in Valley Village. Thanks Jana!!! read more

I've been taking classes for a couple of years now; initially I chose it due to convenient location. Although I do have a few irritations (cancellation policy is rigid and occasionally difficult) overall, it has been a positive and great experience. Website signup for sessions is a convenient option and all the staff is friendly, if not always "warm." I've worked with a handful of instructors over the last two years, and it is the instructors that keep me coming back. Each have their own style, and if you should try one who isn't quite your personality or speed, I encourage you to try others. With lots of instructors, I think there is something for everyone! For me, Michael has great energy and deals out a tough but rewarding level two group reformer class. I always leave tired but energized and happy! Evelyn provides a serious, focused regime and style (coming from her ongoing Ron Fletcher style training), and after working with her in private sessions for most of the two years, I can tell a difference. It has been slow going for me (at age 60 I don't bounce back like I did at 35), but I am finally feeling stronger and more flexible and excited to keep at it. Evelyn NEVER gives up on you, and is able to take a day when things just aren't moving right and redirect focus to an ALWAYS productive workout. I appreciate the challenges she offers and that she takes my concerns and frustrations seriously. If not for her caring and persistence, I think it likely I would have just given up a few times. Some of the disadvantages are also the studio's pluses (such as having a big group of instructors), and it may not be perfectly suited to everyone, but I can without hesitation recommend to try it, if you are looking for a new pilates spot! read more

I love Amy K!!! She is always attentive, knowledgable and professional. The facility is nice and clean. And 5 stars to Namona at the front desk too! I'm a fitness professional and I am particular about where and whom I take private lessons and classes from. The privates as well as the classes are great. Highly recommend! read more

I love Pilates Studio City. I've been training with Melody privately for the past year and a half in addition to taking several of her classes. She is a FABULOUS trainer. She always challenges me in a workout to go further than before and has greatly increased my strength and stamina. In addition, after a recent serious surgery she worked with my body to get back all of its lost mobility. It was such a miraculous recovery that my surgeon mentioned it and told me I had recovered faster than anyone she has seen. Melody is fantastic and a delight to work with. I see her for a private session once a week and I very much look forward to it. She is a warm and inviting person who truly enjoys what she does. I've also taken MANY classes at PSC. Melody's classes are always challenging and well-designed. In addition, I've done classes with Nichole and Lora (the owners) who are EXCELLENT and truly run a top-notch place. Marcy's classes are WONDERFUL and challenging. She always serves up a great workout with her delightful personality. Chad is a FANTASTIC trainer and I love my sessions with him! Dylan's classes are well-designed, challenging and a true joy to attend. Kerri is the trainer I started with and she is literally a genius when it comes to Pilates (probably in other things as well!). She offers a Fletcher Towel Class which I am looking forward to taking soon. I've done classes with other instructors too and find every trainer at this studio to be excellent. You will LOVE Pilates Studio City. I won't go anywhere else in Los Angeles. read more

This place, along with my incredible instructor Kristen Wilkinson is saving my body. She's helping me to get stronger, have better balance, and do it all in a beautiful studio with peaceful sensibilities. All the instructors are great and I love having my standing appointments twice a week. Do yourself a favor and take a class or a private session. You'll feel great and be more in touch with your body, mind, and spirit. It's now been almost a year since my last review and my body has gotten so much stronger as a result of training at PSC. Kristen is still my brilliant instructor but I've also had the opportunity to work with Lora who is one of the co-owners. She was kind and sensitive to all of my injuries and still gave me an incredible workout! PSC is a refuge for body and soul and I can't recommend it highly enough. The only bad review I see here is from someone who seems to have a personal problem of some kind. Everyone leaves Pilates Studio City feeling better than when they arrived. That review should be deleted as it has no bearing on the place we all know. read more

Great studio, instructors, and variety of classes! It isn't pretentious, but it is very welcoming! I'd highly recommend!

I have taken 3 private classes with Kim. I love it. The place is spotless, the people very nice and accommodating. I am pretty out of shape and had always been intimidated to try Pilates, but this place is very easy going and relaxed. I am working my way up to group classes. My back feels great and I think I might eventually find my waist. read more

I am here every Wednesday night for my semi-private reformer session with the awesome Marcy. Marcy is super-friendly, cares about her clients, and pushes us just enough to feel the burn. Her sessions are always a great workout and she is constantly mixing things up so we're challenged and don't get bored. Jenni at the front desk is also awesome and really helpful if you have to reschedule a session. The studio is clean and calming. The only complaint I have is parking can sometimes be a pain if there is a big class going on at the same time as my session. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE (and I'm not given to loving places that don't sell baked goods). Pilates Studio City is welcoming and supportive, with a fun, down-to-earth spirit shared by the staff and the clientele. No snooty Lululemon pants ladies here. The instructors are professional and sharp. Jerin is an especially gifted teacher, with a knack for sizing up what I need to work on, making it understandable and guiding me through challenges I thought I'd never reach- and it's always fun, never dreary. read more

I'm on my 5th year of pilates at this place and it keeps getting better. Fantastic instructors (try Lora if you can get a spot in her busy schedule), cool events (new classes, workshops etc) and specialized instruction (I have neck and low back problems). You won't regret going to PSC! read more

I love Pilates Studio City! I've tried a lot of gyms and other fitness routines but I've finally found something that works. I love Carl -- he is so welcoming and really pushes you during your workout. I've started doing semi-private lessons with a friend which has been a wonderful experience. Do this for yourself and you won't regret it. I've compared prices and you really can't beat the prices they offer. read more

The place that has kept me a size 2 and still consume crazy calories most of my days...crazy being more than 5000 on some days.

I am an actress and travel to LA frequently. I have a room in the Valley so I finally decided to find a Pilates studio in LA for when I am away from SF. This place sounded great so gave it a try. Most Pilates studios prefer that you take one private class before you start taking Group Reformer classes so I booked a private using their special. They assigned Vanessa as my instructor and she was fantastic. She was extremely encouraging and helpful. I felt very welcome at this studio and cannot wait to start the group classes.They explain all the monthly plans very carefully, but there is absolutely no pressure. I got such a great workout with Vanessa so I hope I can squeeze in some privates too. This is a great find!! read more

Pilates Studio City is a fantastic, professional studio with some of the best teachers in town. I've gone to several doctors for my knees and back, but only after Pilates, do i feel stronger and better than ever. So much so, that now my fiance also regularly attends, and loves it. I encourage everyone to try Pilates Studio City read more

I was very disappointed with this Pilates Studio in Porter Ranch. They push private classes. It feels like you have to be on an elite list to be in the group classes. I was so excited to find a place near my home to do something I really enjoy and will never go back due to their elitist attitude. read more

I've been going to Pilates Studio City since 2006 - absolutely love them. Excellent teachers and fair prices. Check out Keiko & Julie - two of my current faves. read more

I LOVE this place!! All instructors that I've had are wonderful and I love how many classes they offer each day. They are so accommodating to all clients. Only problem I had was with Eve. She was lazy and only worked the legs, hardly the abs or arms, and we did the same moves every time. I learned no new moves. She also spoke a lot about her boyfriends instead of teaching. And she was often late and then would end class early. Besides Eve, I love this place and all the instructors, they are highly trained and wonderful people. read more

LOVE this place. I've been going here for about 3 months now (trying to get my figure back from having a baby). The studio is super clean and everyone is so nice. Every teacher I have had, has been professional, helpful and kind. I was late for a class once and the teacher totally understood. I was not charged a late fee or anything. They offer a variety of classes several times a week. Being a working mom with not a lot of time, it's nice to have several options a week for taking a class. I also like that I can schedule my time or renew my class online. Overall my experience here has been great, I would highly recommend the studio to everyone. read more

I love this place!! I go to pilates about 3 times a week and every time I leave feeling amazing. All of the teachers are wonderful and they really take interest in all of the people that attend their class. Marcy is my favorite teacher, because she is challenging but her class has a flow to it. My only issue with them is that I want more Mat 2 classes but they are a small studio and I know that is difficult. Anyways. Love Love Love. I highly recommend attending this studio. read more

I love Pilates Studio City! I started going there when I was 4 months pregnant with my first son and I'm still a client 4 years later. All of the classes I've attended have been great, from barre to reformer classes, and all the instructors are friendly and knowledgable. Keiko is by far my favorite, though. She really pays attention to form, she changes up the routine so there's never a dull moment, and she's a great person in addition to being an incredible instructor. read more

I've been going there for several years doing classes as well as privates and love the teachers who are extremely knowledgeable. It's the best workouts I've ever had. Love it. James A read more

Their facilities are always clean. They offer great exercise packages and are consistent with updates and discounts. They have mastered online service which I greatly appreciate. I must say, that for me and my physical needs, Julie Funk is my instructor of choice and the only one I highly recommend. She works out of two of their studios. read more

I highly recommend this studio. I've been coming here for a few years and I look forward to going every week! I've mostly taken classes with Rebecca and Marcy, who are attentive and encouraging. Even though I go regularly, I find the classes to be challenging (in a good way) and I never get bored. read more

I truly look forward to Pilates every week! I have one arm, and being able to get back into my favorite work out after a bad accident has been the sweetest experience. Sue is so knowledgeable and makes the session challenging and specific to what my body needs. I am so grateful! read more

So a year has gone by and I am still driving 19 miles each way to this incredible studio! Love all of the equipment and non equipment classes. Instructors are all excellent! Not sure what Candace is talking about- sounds like she is confused as to which studio she went to:( read more

Fabulous instructors at PSC. I work with Nikki Alstader once a week for Gyrotonic, and twice a week with Autumn Shepherd, for Pilates. These two practices have changed my life and my body. The caring and personal attention by these two women is without a doubt the reason I continue to look and feel better than I could have imagined when I began 7 years ago. I was an arthritic, overweight, slumping, depressed, stressed out, tired mess with a recently broken shoulder and then there was PCS, and within months I was recovering and within a year I was flourishing. I credit Pilates for strengthening & realigning my body & mind. I added Gyrotonic and my world changed again. This practice takes me to entirely new levels of strength and movement. To say I love these wonderful strong insightful intelligent women of PSC is an understatement. I owe them my health and without that, for me, there is nothing. read more

I'm going by the "Meh. I've experienced better" guideline Yelp suggests for two stars. Maybe that's generous. First of all, the equipment is terrible. I get that they have little space and need to transition from mat to reformer quickly, but after working on Gratz, I guess I'm spoiled. If you've never taken pilates before and don't know the difference between a diligent and experienced instructor, then I'm sorry. You are missing out. I've tried this place a couple times, giving months or even years between sessions, hoping instructors have changed (they have) or technique has improved (it hasn't). You really get very little correction. Yes, I'm experienced but I KNOW I'm not perfect. Mostly they chit chat throughout the class instead of explaining ways to make the exercise more challenging. And if they talk with anyone, it's those whose names they know...regular customers, whose lack of correct form is testament enough to the lack of real instruction going on here. I cringed quite a few times observing throughout the class. It was a Groupon deal that led me here the last time. The heading of the deal was "Five Group Pilates and Fitness Classes." This would lead one to believe that, well, any "group pilates" class would be included, correct? Incorrect. Admittedly, I should have read the fine print. I did skim it over. However, on the THIRD to last line, snuggly tucked between innocent and typical mumbo jumbo was, "Not valid for group equipment classes." My bad, yes. HOWEVER, when I came in and redeemed my coupon, FOR THE GROUP EQUIPMENT CLASS...THEY ALLOWED ME TO STROLL RIGHT IN...NEVER MENTIONING IT WASN'T VALID FOR GROUP EQUIPMENT. Luckily, my schedule only permitted a mat class the next couple of times I ventured in. They called me, months later, requiring payment for the group equipment class. Which confused me and led me back to my groupon page, where I found the fine print. To top it off, I still had classes left on the groupon deal. I was pregnant and was planning to come in (keep in mind, I have years of experience doing pilates at every level on all pieces of equipment....including throughout a previous pregnancy). I was informed that the instructors for group classes would likely be unable to accommodate me. I mentioned I could adapt any exercise to fit my specific needs...and the response was simply, "well, you can try but it will depend on the instructor." The couple times I called before showing up, I was told the instructor would not be comfortable. Okay. If you're not comfortable, that's fine. I will go elsewhere (and pregnant ladies, do not fret, do your research. There are many other studios happy to welcome you without charging you for private sessions) or do the mat routines at home BUT! They would only extend my groupon deal to November (it expired in October)...AND, I'm not due until next month, (February 2013). hmmm..... They do have classes that fit into most schedules, which is one of the only nice things I can really say :( read more

I checked into a number of Pilates studios in Studio City before settling on Pilates Studio City. I typically workout in a private session with Jenny and she is fantastic! She is extremely knowledgeable and an expert at tailoring the workout to just what I need each time. I could not be happier working out here. Oh, and the desk staff are so friendly and helpful! read more

I was so happy to find studio city Pilates. What a fantastic studio. The prices are beyond amazing. The facility is lovely- lots of reformers but with lots of privacy. You get very focused training as a result. I prefer classical training and Andreas is wonderful. Best teacher I've ever had. I've taken friends and family with me and always recommend this studio. Also, they always make sure the front desk is manned by someone helpful, knowldgable and friendly. Not all places are like that. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, you'll have a great experience here. read more

I'm new to Pilates and was hesitant to try it because I didn't really buy into it as a real work out but this place proved me wrong! My trainer was Melody and I love her! She was really informative, gave me just enough info about positions and breathing. She pushed hard enough and knew my limits so that I got a good work without being in too much pain the next day :). I really recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a warm and welcoming studio with all shapes and sizes :) read more

Rebecca and Marcy are the best. I've been coming here for about 8 years and cannot say enough good things about Pilates Studio City. Whether you're new at Pilates or a long time devotee you will find that you love it here. read more

Love this place. Michael and Sarah and Amy r fantastic instructors. Others probably r too but with my schedule these r my go to three. Have been going 4 a year and a half and now I couldn't live without it. Fun, feel so good, stronger than I was ten years ago. Even when I too tired to go , I go and come out no longer feeling tired. Strongly recommend. read more

I found this studio through a Groupon deal for private pilates reformer sessions. This was my first time trying pilates. I'm a gym rat (free weights, cardio) but felt I needed to supplement my workouts and address flexibility and posture issues. I'm totally hooked and have seen and felt a big difference since working with Jeni, who is very patient and knowledgeable about a variety of ways to address problem areas to strengthen. If new to pilates, I strongly suggest a few private sessions with Jeni before jumping into a group reformer or mat class, so you can maximize your efforts and learn proper form. She really cares about your progress and is a great teacher. She's also fun to work with! I'm still working with her two months later... read more

I have been coming here for years. It's clean cute and cozy! Best customer service! Highly recommend Marcy and Rebecca the best!

My daughter takes Pilates here twice a week and LOVES it! The teachers are kind and knowledgeable. The front desk staff, especially Alex, is professional, patient, kind, and friendly. They have gone above and beyond to accommodate my daughter who has special medical needs. read more
