I've been doing private sessions with Ashlee to strengthen my core and improve mobility, and it's been a great experience. She really takes the time to tailor each session to your individual needs and creates a safe, non-judgmental environment to work in. She's also very responsive and flexible with scheduling, even when things come up last minute. I was initially drawn to Ashlee because of her broad experience working with people in different stages of life, including rehabilitation, prenatal/pregnancy care, etc. Each class is challenging in the best way, and I always leave feeling stronger. I look forward to every session. read more

Pilates instructors over the years, but she's by far the best. She takes the time to cater each workout to the individual and explains every movement clearly, making it easy to follow and get the most out of each session. I always leave her classes feeling stronger, more confident, and motivated. I highly recommend Ashlee to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely caring Pilates instructor! read more

Ashlee is such a knowledgeable and supportive teacher. As someone new to Pilates (and reformer Pilates) I knew I was in good hands the moment Ashlee gave me specific feedback to work with my scoliosis. Her home studio is beautiful and provides a great space to work with the reformer outside of a group setting. I could feel my form improving over the course of our lesson. Ashlee is great!! read more

I've been training with Ashlee for 2+ years now and our bi-weekly sessions are what keeps me motivated to focus more on caring for myself. When I first started with Ashlee I had chronic SI joint dysfunction and I had to wear a bulky belt for SI stability. Thanks to Ashlee, I have built up my core strength and no longer need to wear the belt for stability. Ashlee takes the time to modify routines if you have an injury and she is really good about doing a quick check-in each session to see how you are doing physically before jumping into a routine that may be too strenuous. I enjoy training with Ashlee and we always manage to get in some good laughs while doing it. Ashlee is a great trainer and can work with you from beginner to advanced level. read more

I have been recovering from a hip surgery for over 2 years, living in consistent and debilitating pain, not able to perform much physical activity or walk long distances. After a long road in physical therapy, I finally graduated and wanted to expand my healing journey. Because I needed specific attention, I searched for a private pilates instructor and I found Ashlee. Ashlee listened carefully and took everything I said into consideration. She is very knowledgable about the body and her craft, and my progression is proof of that. She has introduced me to a large spectrum of exercises that I have never done before and every session is unique and different. After just 10 sessions with Ashlee, my hips are so much stronger and I am in far less pain than I have ever been. I never thought I could get to this point, but Ashlee helped me tremendously. If you have any type of injury, you can go to Ashlee in full confidence that you are in great hands. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about PWA! Ashlee is always attentive & patient ;) She constantly challenges me by making creative routines and also incredibly sweet & funny. We have so much fun I can't believe an hours gone by. Whether you're bored or simply wanting to tone up, PWA is where it's at. I cannot recommend enough. Thx Ashlee! read more

Ashlee is a terrific instructor. Her classes are the right type of challenging -- just hard enough to know it's working but still fun. She does a great job explaining proper form, so I feel confident that I'm actually building strength. I'm looking forward to building a regular Pilates practice with her! read more

I have been working with Ashlee since last April. Ashlee initially helped me recover from an injury, in September we pushed through to general strengthening, we hit consistent endorphin release and general mood improvement in November, in the last month I started to notice improved cognitive functioning and efficiency at work... I'm loving working to build a better me, one workout at a time. read more

Pilates With Ashlee - Playing with pwa - Trainers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My ob/gyn recommended pilates as an exercise to supplement my pregnancy. I was able to start taking private lessons with Ashlee at 16 weeks and it has been so beneficial. She's always focused on my safety and building strength in areas that support my constantly changing body. Although I found her for prenatal pilates, it is my intention to continue with Ashlee once I give birth and beyond. I cannot recommend her enough. read more

My husband and I have been seeing Ashlee for over 2 months now and have loved our experience! Both of us were new to Pilates and she's not only been patient with us, but also keeps every session fun and different. I don't think I've ever felt stronger. Highly recommend! read more

A wonder woman. Fixed my back and fixed my body after multiple surgeries and multiple pregnancies. No one does pilates like Ashlee!

This was my first Pilates experience ever although I've been athletic my whole life, and I couldn't be happier with A. The results-my body looks AMAZING B. Ashlee's instruction is clear & concise but most of all fun and C. The schedule is super flexible because you always book through her..... does it get any better than that!?? As a beginner, Ashlee made me feel comfortable, not insecure or dumb, only uplifting & positive instructing. She always knows how far to push me! If you're looking for the best Pilates studio in LA, come here! read more

I've been going to Ashlee for a little over a year and HOLY WOW has it been amazing! My body has been recovering from a really bad accident and it took years of pestering by one of my best friends to *finally* come see Ashlee -- I was told she would fix me. Skeptical? Sure. I was feeling gnarly, my body hurt, I wasn't the dancer I used to be and I can say with all honesty, I did not think I would get back to feeling good about myself. My body was too broken, even after PT and Chiro visits--all the things. Before I even had my first session, Ashlee spent over an hour on the phone with me--we got to know each other, she got to know what I needed, what was working and what wasn't, and I jumped in. In the past year I've gone from hating how I looked in the mirror and how painful my injuries were, to being not only comfortable in my own skin but also feeling like I could trust my body again. The ankle and knee injuries that previously stopped me from participating in activities have slowly but steadily reduced--Ashlee helped me to trust my musculature to keep me safe. Lame squats and lunges are now perfect form. I activate my core on my roll ups, I lean into the glutes and quads, and I'm way more flexible these days. I cannot recommend Pilates With Ashlee enough. Private reformer sessions, spectacular and individualized training (seriously--you will notice the massive changes you can make within just a few sessions), and her personality keeps me coming back every week! No regrets, save for waiting so long to listen to my friend to come see Ashlee. read more

The best! She is amazing and every workout is different and tailored to your needs. So grateful to be able to have her teach me. She just moved to a new studio and it is super clean so no worries about COVID. Email her now!!!! read more

I never truly understood the hype of pilates UNTIL I met Ashlee. Over the years I've done every workout imaginable (yoga, HIIT, cycling, you name it, i've tried it) and I had been taking pilates classes here and there through Classpass, but then I met Ashlee last July and it totally changed the game. Taking privates and (very small) group classes with Ashlee has helped me build a strong foundation with a teacher that actual knows you and your body (and specific needs). Ashlee's teaching style is firm and supportive and FUN! I can't believe all the ways that properly-taught pilates has impacted my every day life and all things it makes better. Thanks Ashlee! read more

Ashlee is such an awesome instructor. She knows how to push my limits but not destroy me. She is super attentive and watches you like a hawk so that she can help you do everything correctly. Which I think might be my favorite part, since I feel like I always need minor adjustments. The workout always makes me sweat and helps me to really connect with my core and muscles that are being worked on. Totally awesome instructor! read more

I love doing Pilates with Ashlee! All of her routines are super effective and different. The sessions are challenging and fun - they go by super fast. My body feels so much stronger and less achy from all the desk sitting. So happy that I found her! read more

I've been doing Pilates with Ashlee since October 2020 & this is by far the most I've ever seen my body change! I needed to prepare for my brother's wedding and Ashlee was extremely attentive to my needs & goals. She ended up exceeding my initial goals. I haven't received this many compliments EVER. Thank you so much Ashlee I always enjoy our sessions & look forward to coming weekly :) read more

Pilates With Ashlee - Trainers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been doing Pilates for years. I've done both private and group classes. Ashlee is by far the best instructor I've ever had. She listens to your needs and forms the workout around that. If you have injuries she is very much focused on making sure we don't do anything that could bother that more. She's super fun and sweet but she won't let you not give it your all. She drives me even when my stomach is flipping from the workout and I want to give up. I got in shape very fast and noticed changes in my strength within the first few weeks of seeing her. Best instructor ever!! read more

Ashlee is the best. She really has helped me get stronger and more flexible. She understands what you need to make you feel your best. read more

I recently took a Pilates class with Ashlee at her new boutique studio in Beverlywood and it was nothing short of amazing! I'm quite nerve wrecked when I'm starting a new class or style of working out, but not only was the class challenging but she made it fun, focused on all my needs, and never made me feel like I couldn't complete the workout. It's always thrilling when you can connect with someone and also get a fantastic workout. Ashlee is super positive and motivating. What makes her studio one of the best is that not only does she offer one-on-one instruction but also offers great group classes. With beach club season approaching it's a must to get in shape! :) ENJOY! PS: Great neighborhood and there is always parking! read more

I have been coming to Ashlee's new studio for almost a year now and I absolutely love it. Not only is her studio cute, clean, and chic but I always feel at home here. Not to mention her killer workouts ;) Coming from a dancing background (years ago) her workouts have really gotten me back into shape. I love how diverse Pilates is but is also similar to dancing/dance positions. She's an amazing person and very sweet. I highly recommend PWA!! read more

I love working out with Ashlee. She constantly changes up the workouts and is very attentive to make sure you are doing everything correctly. read more

I love working with Ashlee! She's one of the most attentive instructors I've ever worked with and really helps you get the moves just right, even if you're in a class with other people! She's delightful to be around and has a super cute, clean studio. And prices are very reasonable!! read more

Ashlee is the best. She makes you work in a way that's controlled and effective. I can feel my body becoming stronger after each session with her. Truly a godsend. And she's hilarious. read more

I trained with Ashlee during the majority of my pregnancy and I am 99% sure our sessions are the reason why my labor and delivery went as quickly and smoothly as they possibly could have. Despite the usual symptoms of nausea and heart burn, I had zero swelling and physically felt excellent during my pregnancy and was able to train up until my delivery date with no discomfort! I am one week post partum and feel almost back to normal in my body and am looking forward to starting sessions again once my doctor gives me the ok! On top of that, Ashlee was fun and supportive and always mixed up sessions (even with the necessary prenatal modifications) so they were never boring and always a good workout. 100% worth seeing her if you are considering it -- Ashlee is a miracle worker! read more

I have been doing Pilates with Ashlee for the past 3 years and I can say that Ashlee's engaging personality, technically challenging routines and continuous growth ensures that you get results. I worked with her at Eden and when she started her own studio. You can see that pilates is a way of life and philosophy for Ashlee and she brings that enthusiasm each day to the studio. She is very dynamic and works with you to achieve your goals. She is very patient and clearly describes each move and makes sure you are executing each move optimally. As a busy professional, I need to make sure I use my time efficiently and that I see results from my workouts. You are not another number to Ashlee, she treats each of her clients like family and I look forward to going to the studio. I would recommend that you try out a class with Ashlee ASAP. You won't be disappointed. read more

Ashlee is the best pilates teacher! I had never done pilates before going to Ashlee and she is so patient, caring, and explains everything so clearly. For a beginner, learning how to move your body in ways it wasn't before can feel really intimidating, but Ashlee continues to challenge me, while simultaneously cheering me on. She monitors and observes me to make sure that I'm doing things correctly and safely. I couldn't recommend her more! read more

Enjoying prenatal Pilates with Ashlee amazing vibe, keeps the energy. The workouts have me stronger & preparing me to have a smooth labor:) so happy I found her! read more

I wanted to update my review of PWA, because after doing every workout in the book in the last 10yrs, I'm overjoyed to say I'm finally at my GOAL WEIGHT from taking Pilates w/ Ashlee. Thank you so much Ashlee for always encouraging me, supporting me & giving me the best workout in Los Angeles! I'd also like to note, that Ashlee gave me a little but meaningful gift when I did meet my goal. If there's one place to come for Pilates to truly meet your goals it's PWA! read more

Best part of my week is the hour I spend with Ashlee. She's so intuitive and encouraging. I always leave feeling strong and accomplished! Thank you Ashlee!! read more

OMFG - I LOVE ASHLEE!!!!! My 2016 New Year's resolution was to try out pilates. I'm already a very athletic person who is on two soccer teams, does yoga on my own at home, ex- cross country & track runner... But I have such a hard time with group classes / cross training. I've heard so many amazing things about the benefits of pilates but I could NOT get my butt into a class, ever. I tore a ligament a few years ago and that's what got me into Yoga, but Pilates has been on my list of low-no impact workouts to start working into my life. So I found Ashlee on Yelp and started a pack of private lessons thinking I'd learn the ropes and eventually do a group class. Nope! Sticking with my private sessions 100%. Maybe I'll do a semi-private with a girlfriend soon, but I LOVE my private sessions before work in the new studio bc Ashlee knows me, knows the sports I play and what to strengthen for them, and most importantly knows how to kick my a$$! FYI- she just moved to an amazing new place with a new studio space in Beverlywood. So cute & perfect for me to hit before work because she has all the little dry shampoo/girl things to help me put my game face on before heading to the office. Thank you for turning me into such a little ninja who loves pilates!!! read more

Best instructor! Ashlee takes the time to make sure her clients form is correct, and that each move is productive. Ashlee asks about what her clients want to achieve from pilates and personalizes each lesson to ensure optimal success. I have been going to Ashlee twice weekly for about 3 months and feel my best self. I've been to other pilates instructor but Ashlee is really the best and I can't imagine not going to her. read more

she's an excellent instructor who trains making sure you use proper form and she's a badass! I always have a good time when I come, she's very personable and welcoming. I would suggest getting a session ASAP!!!! read more

Growing up I was an athlete in school playing basketball and soccer. As I got older I became less and less active. As you know life gets busy and work is hectic, finding the time to work out is challenging. I was referred to Ashlee by a friend and was hesitant to try Pilates because it was intimidating. As a man, I'm not very flexible and didn't know what to expect. From my first session and meeting Ashlee, it's been nothing but a hard interesting work out. I thought it was going to be easy, but it was difficult and she made it fun. My overall appearance and flexibility has improved 100%! Her new studio has such a great vibe! I always look forward to my sessions! I have referred all my family and friends to Ashlee and I strongly recommend you do too! read more

I used to be athletic in my middle school and high school years, but now that I'm way past college and well into my career, it has been years since I've had any sort of regular exercise/workout routine. I recently decided to make a change and found PWA through Yelp. I called Ashlee and explained how I aim to be healthier, and how I've never done reformer Pilates or any sort of Pilates in my life! She was really patient with me on the phone and suggested a private class so she could help guide me through the techniques and forms. I went to my 1-on-1 session with her and she explained every move I was doing very thoroughly, corrected my form several times, gave me tips on what I was doing right and what I was doing wrong, and just talked me through everything with an upbeat, positive energy. She plays the best music and her engaging conversation helped distract me from the fact that I was actually working out, but I could tell how focused she was on me when she would frequently pause and adjust my form, or know when I needed to stretch before moving on. She paid more attention to what my body was saying than I was and even though she knew when I needed a breather, she also knew when she could push me a little further. Since my first class I booked a package of sessions with her and I'm hooked! Aside from her skills as a master Pilates instructor, she's also one of the realest, most genuine people and does not BS... this shows in not only her personality but is reflected in her training. I'm usually terrible at leaving Yelp reviews and if it were up to me, I'd keep PWA a hidden gem for selfish reasons, but Ashlee deserves all the success in the world. read more

I've been going to Ashlee and Wes for private training sessions for over a month now. I'm in my first trimester of pregnancy and they have been helping me keep my weight in check as well as tone the rest of my body. Ive already seen results in my arms/legs/glutes and couldn't be happier. They are great instructors and very knowledgeable on what is good for me and baby, which I really appreciate. In addition, the studio is the perfect environment for me. Intimate, clean, and really cute. read more

I discovered Ashlee last year when she was working at a local studio and fell in love with her personality and teaching style. I've since followed her from studio to studio and take her class at least once a week. I'm not the only one, as I see lots of familiar faces in her classes. I've worked with many Pilates instructors and Ashlee is hands-down the best. Her routines are ALWAYS challenging, but never boring. She really mixes things up with unique moves and a killer playlist. She is very encouraging and attentive, always there with a "Yes!" and "You can do it!" and is generally a funny, friendly, caring human being. Training with Ashlee is like having your gal pal bust your ass on the regular - in the best way! I'm constantly amazed at what she comes up with and with what my body can do. I've learned so much about proper Pilates form from her and feel strong and fierce every time I leave her class. read more

I only recently started going to Ashlee but I can say that her essential oil bodywork massage has changed my life. I have experienced very painful upper back and neck pain and just through one session, I feel like a new person a lot of the pain has gone away. Ashlee played very relaxing music and it was very calming and enjoyable. She also gave me a customizable essential oil drops that I can put in my diffuser to relax me. She also mentioned very helpful products to ease my pain. I would 100% recommend going to Ashlee! And her studio is very clean (good for COVID) read more

Ashlee is absolutely the best! At what she does. She can transform any body type from a 4 to a near 10 if you do the work you will get to your ultimate goal. I hate gyms and honestly I hate to work out. However, she makes it go by fast and fast. The girl is Good! read more
