It was my first-ever mat Pilates class and my first visit to Pilatesmith and it did not disappoint! I joined the Athletic Mat Pilates (Adv./Int) with Lexi on Thursday at 6:30 am. The class was small, about eight people, so it felt spacious and comfortable. Plenty of parking, a clean and beautifully designed studio, and a great instructor made the experience even better. I've already booked my next class! read more

I first heard about Pilatesmith from my friends who frequent the Santa Monica location. After seeing the new Culver studio pop up on ClassPass, I decided to give it a try! I took the Heated Mat Pilates class with Carla last night. The class was advertised as Int/Adv level and I thought the difficulty was perfect. I was a bit nervous about the heated aspect, but it ended up being a really comfortable temperature! The energy was a bit lower than I expected compared to my usual Lagree classes, but it was a great workout nonetheless. The studio itself was beautiful as well, and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. I look forward to coming back and trying some of the reformer classes in the future! read more

Loved this studio! Teacher was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, clean studio, friendly desk staff. There are only 6 spots in the group reformer class which I like, the teacher was able to make individual adjustments. Excited to start my membership! read more

Beautiful space with multiple rooms for different types of classes - classic reformer was my fave. Convenient parking options + great workout and there's even a cute cafe next door. read more

beautiful space with so many workout options. my first time there, the staff and teacher were so welcoming. I took a killer hot Pilates class that was challenging but offered modifactions. easy parking on the street or the lot behind the studio. recommend!! read more

I participated in the Prenatal & Postnatal Pilates class and I LOVED the instructor, Alex. She was so patient and gave clear instructions. More so, I was sore the next day which felt great. read more

I'm pregnant and while I have been practicing Pilates for over 5 years, I've found it increasingly difficult to make my own modifications in traditional classes with instructors who aren't trained in prenatal workouts as I get further along in my pregnancy. The Prenatal & Postnatal reformer class exceeded my expectations and I felt both supported & challenged during my workout. I'll definitely be back! read more

Really enjoyed my first class here! I like that they have various classes to choose from. I tried hot mat Pilates and will definitely be going back! read more

I've been curious about trying a heated mat Pilates class, and was excited to learn that a studio right in my neighborhood teaches one. I LOVED my experience at Pilatesmith. The class was fun and challenging, and Catherine, the instructor, had an encouraging and gentle teaching style. The studio itself is beautiful and inviting, and the staff instantly made me feel welcome. I love that the studio offers both mat and reformer Pilates classes, too. I'll definitely be back! read more

Absolutely LOVE this studio. The interior is gorgeous and the equipment is pristine. I have been practicing Pilates for over 20 years and am quite particular about the instructors and studios I choose. This one does not disappoint! I would highly recommend to both new Pilates students and well trained ones alike. There are a variety of classes to choose from and the waiting area and lockers/bathroom area are lovely. read more

Just attended my first class at Pilatesmith Culver and it was great! It was my first time coming - I've done some reformer classes before so I took the intermediate apprentice Pilates class and it was great. Wonderful pace, they explained how to use all the equipment and the staff couldn't have been nicer. Will definitely be coming back soon! Note - make sure you bring Pilates socks with you! read more

I did the $25 group class for first time visitors and loved it! I took the intermediate apprentice reformer Pilates class with Morgan and it was fantastic! A challenging, full body work out. Morgan is a great instructor. I appreciated all the cues she provided, and even the fact that she made sure to introduce herself and shake my hand prior to class. I ended up purchasing a class pack because I definitely want to come back! I also like the fact that I can use the class pack at their Santa Monica location in case I ever want to switch it up :) read more

Yes yes yes! I am so glad I came to this studio. It's beautiful, the staff makes you feel welcomed and you leave feeling accomplished! I took Alex's Novice/Beginner class and I will definitely be back. read more

Pilatesmith - There's three different rooms to take classes in. This is the front room facing the street. - Pilates Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Went for the first time and it was a great experience! I loved the heated Pilates class with Greg. Everyone was welcoming & I felt very comfortable. Entrance is through the back of the studio/alley-way. read more

Really nice facility - modern and chic! Nice equipment and machines! Excellent teachers. Highly recommend

I signed up for a heated Mat Pilates class with Gregory, and I LOVED IT! I would 100% come back for another class. Im new to Pilates and Gregory made sure to make me feel comfortable and offer modifications for any moves I couldn't do. (also I live in Burbank and this class is worth the drive) read more

Firstly - the decor and amenities are FIRE. I have never been in a pilates studio with such incredible interior design. They also have equipment I've never used before that thoroughly kicked my ass. While I am not a beginner, I found it difficult to follow the instructions. I definitely got a great workout in, but wish I signed up for the beginner reformer instead of intermediate to acclimate to this studios teaching style. I wasn't the biggest fan of the instructor's bootcamp style for call outs. The class was very small (only three of us) so we did get a lot of attention. She was really great at communicating proper form and technique which I really appreciated. I look forward to taking a beginner class because overall I had a very positive experience and trust this establishment's professionalism and knowledge in the Pilates method. read more

Really clean, friendly studio in Mar Vista/Marina del Rey area with ample parking in the back. It's a boutique space but it's cute inside and very bright and airy. I love the big windows in the back classroom. I've taken a few private lessons with Anna and Jace to work on my form and tempo before getting into group classes. Both instructors are attentive and give good cues The reformer workout itself is varied enough to make the time fly by. They are also very responsive by email if you have questions or need to adjust your workout schedule, which is appreciated. I'm eager to try some of their other offerings (EMS pilates, what?!) very soon. read more

The Novice Pilates class was very good and highly recommend if you are just starting your pilates workout journey. It was easy to follow the instructor and she offered modifications if a move was too difficult. A very good introduction into using the reformer too. read more

I took the morning pilates mat class and felt amazing after! I got a good sweat and felt a full body engagement. The music playlist was upbeat, the studio is very clean and the people working there are really nice. Highly recommend! read more

I'm an avid Pilates goer and I really enjoyed the Mat Pilates class I tried here and felt a good amount of soreness the next day. The space is beautiful and has a good vibe. It's great to find a studio that offers both mat and reformer because that can be hard to find. read more

Pilatesmith is a beautiful clean studio, great parking and doesnt feel pretentious. they offer prenatal and postnatal classes which is rare, and needed! read more

I had my first pilates class here and it was such a great experience. My instructor was Alyvia, and I can tell she really knows what she's doing. I joined her intermediate class on Friday AM as a first timer and didn't regret it. Although it was my first class, she made me feel confident and comfortable even when I wasn't familiar with the workout / position I was in on the reformer. After the class, we talked about my strengths and weaknesses - I discovered that I have a weak core. I had a lot of fun learning and performing pilates so I'll definitely be coming back. Another surprise for me was how much of a workout it was - I'm glad I was challenged! Reasons for coming back: great workout, friendly staff (they are SO welcoming), and free parking! read more

Loved my class!! I've been taking reformer Pilates for almost 2 years now and I love finding a class that challenges me. I took the Intermediate Class at Pilatesmith and felt the class was informative but really tested my skill level- will be back! read more

While visiting friends in Venice, we were looking to fit in a Pilates class--and we're so glad we found Pilatesmith! From the moment we walked in, everything about the experience was top-notch. The front desk staff was warm and welcoming, our trainer was fantastic, and the class struck the perfect balance of being both challenging and fun. The studio itself has such a great energy--it's truly a vibe. We left feeling amazing and only wish there was a Pilatesmith near us. Highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area! read more

I took the heated mat pilates class with Greg- it was great! Not too hot, the pacing of the class and difficulty were just right. Cute decor, and the front desk person was really nice, so the overall experience was really good. read more

Took my first ever mat Pilates class here with Lexie, and it was amazing! The studio is nice and clean, staff is friendly, and the classes are well structured and taught. The class was challenging, but Lexie did a great job explaining each exercise that I was able to keep up as a mat Pilates newbie. Will definitely be back! read more

Tried my first private Pilates class here. Anna the instructor was great, she went over the reformer machine and explained each movement/exercise very well. I felt very comfortable as I was a bit nervous since this was my first time doing Pilates. I loved it so much I signed up for more classes. Definitely recommend! read more

I did my first mat pilates here and I loved it. I did the 30 minutes of may pilates followed by meditation with Claire. this was everything my body and mind needed to end my day. I left feeling amazing and liberated. read more

I was looking for a pilates studio that offered mat pilates and I love that Pilatesmith has mat and reformer. The space is clean and the girls at the front desk are super welcoming and helpful. The classes are challenging in the best way, and I love that a few classes each week offer some meditation options as well. I highly recommend! read more

I loved everything about this place. I have only been once but definitely plan to go back and purchase more packages when I am able to. I would like to incorporate this into my weekly routine. Check-in Process The check in process was extremely easy and peaceful. Most group fitness studio's are chaotic when you are trying to check-in so I greatly appreciated the ease. Class Experience The smaller class size is definitely a plus for me. Even though you are not in a personal training session, the intimacy still makes you feel like you are not being left behind. Jess was a great instructor. She gives you the perfect amount of cues and does not go over board with explaining things. She is attentive to those who may need guidance on certain moves while still keeping the others in the class engaged. I LOVED THAT, for times when I needed a push and times when I may have been doing something in correct. Experience Needed for Reformer I took the beginner reformer class. I do have prior experience on the reformer, but you do not need to be a pro on the reformer to take the class. If you have trained in the past and been consistent with it, you will do great! Having an over-all understanding of your body, basic moves, good form and an ability to breathe through challenges will help you get the most of of the workout. This helped me realize how much endurance I actually have! When I felt as if I was sacrificing form, I just lowered the resistance on the reformer. Post- Work Out I had a great sweat! I was sore in places I have never been sore before and I mean that in the best way possible! I could tell that the workout really targeted parts of my body where it is important to build strength to prevent injuries e.t.c. read more

Loved this class! Perfect if you've been on a Pilates hiatus and need a good pace to get back in your groove. Will definitely be back for more. The studio is super cute and warm and welcoming too :) read more

Took the heated mat Pilates with Gregory it was a great sculpting burn. He focused a lot on form and walked us through each of the moves. The heat level was more on the moderate side from other heated classes. They have spaces for three separate classes so booking should never be an issue & the overall atheistic was great. Also they offer sock rentals for $3 vs only option the $20 to buy which was so appreciated!! read more

I took the athletic mat class and it was so great! I really enjoyed the weights and bands in class. The studio is clean and the staff is so friendly! Will be back again soon read more

An amazing five star experience from start to finish! Studio is so beautiful & clean! Parking is so easy & convenient too! & Alex such a supportive & wonderful trainer too! Thank you all Carla read more

Did Greg's heated matt pilates and loved it! He was really friendly and made sure to introduce himself and make me feel welcome as a new student. The class was challenging but easy to follow and you really get that full body pilates workout using your smaller muscles. It's not super hot that it's unbearable, but the perfect amount of warmth to get an extra sweat. The girl at the front desk (didn't catch her name) was also really friendly and gave me a tour of the studio. The vibe is nice and everything is clean. No showers. Small class sizes which is nice because it's not overwhelming. I will definitely be coming back here on the regular. Grip socks are required even for matt pilates. You can rent them if you forget to bring them like I did. read more

I have been looking for Mat Pilates classes in the area because everything I have found is in West LA / WeHo area. I was so excited to see they offered mat classes because I love mat pilates. I took Carla's Heated class last night and it far exceeded my expectations. The class was perfect temp - not too hot, just right. The class was also definitely challenging - wow! I am so excited to try the Athletic Mat class tonight because that one involves cardio, so I suspect I may like it even more. My only wish is that they offered more classes/options, but I know it is fairly new. read more

Took the intermediate reformer pilates class and really enjoyed it! The studio is clean, staff is friendly and parking is easy. The instructor was great, very knowledgeable and attentive, and it was a fun challenging workout. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back soon!! :) read more

Joined the heated mat Pilates class with Gregory and loved it. It wasn't uncomfortably hot, just enough to break a sweat. The class was challenging and engaging, highly recommend! Lots of parking and very clean studio :) read more

Lovely studio to work out in. Friendly and helpful check in staff. Was fairly intimidated before coming in with the studio requirements to have previous pilates experience for reformer classes and the intermediate / advanced level description for the mat class that I took, but the class was well formatted and easy to follow. Instruction was clear, positive, and encouraging for all students. The level was challenging but not to the point that it was impossible, and the instructor (Gregory) gave options for modifications. It definitely created a very safe, supportive, inclusive and fun vibe. I will definitely return for mat pilates classes (which are still relatively hard to find in LA) and also to try a reformer class. Great experience. read more
