I've been to basically every Pilates studio on the Westside and Pilatesmith is the studio I've been looking for! 3 reasons: the workouts, the team, and the space. First, I'm advanced and I have the toughest time finding advanced classes during times I can work out. I will pour over all the studios schedules but the class either isn't the right level or just focuses on a specific body part (like booty blast or arms and abs). I have a full time job so when I carve out time to workout, I want to work my entire body and I want a good workout! Pilatesmith is a studio that caters to advanced people so they have tons of advanced classes and every class works my full body. Yes! Second, every trainer is so nice, so good and go creative! Since I've been doing Pilates for years I've see a lot of moves and variations and without fail every class I go to I get something new. How do they do it!? They keep me on my toes AND I actually feel sore the next day. The girls at the front desk are also super friendly and very professional. The owner Jessica is SO nice and hands on. You can tell she really cares about everyone and she always sticks around to chat and catch up after her classes. (She's also a kick ass teacher, but of course she is because everyone here is awesome!) Finally, the studio. Wow. It's so beautiful and unique. I don't know who picked all the cool wallpaper but it is on point! The vibe is very chill and welcoming but hardworking. Everything is clean and the equipment is top notch and obviously very well taken care of. They have 3 workout rooms, lockers, free towels, a beautiful bathroom space and water if you bring a water bottle. They have a little shop up front and they always have the cutest grip socks for sale that I can't find anywhere else. I cannot recommend this studio enough. Been coming here for over a year and I don't think I'll ever go anywhere again! read more

I discovered the Pilatesmith studio after trying many others in the area and needing a change from my former longterm studio. I was so pleasantly surprised by the beautiful brand new studio and space, the greeting I always get at the front desk and the variety of classes and levels. Jessica (the owner) is a fantastic instructor and I'm a regular in her class. I highly recommend making this a regular part of your exercise routine. It's traditional reformer pilates and also incorporates more to get your heart rate moving while you work - like weights, TRX, different balance challenges, etc. There are other types of classes offered as well and private sessions too! The other people I have met in class are always nice and friendly, the classes are very reasonably priced and there is plenty of street parking. The studio is clean, the equipment is top notch and well-maintained and overall it's just a great environment. I'll definitely be trying out other instructors there when time allows! :) read more

If you're looking for the best workout in Santa Monica that'll leave you sweating and feeling fantastic, come to Pilatesmith. All of the trainers are not only incredibly friendly but extremely knowledgeable about their craft. As a former powerlifter, I've competed at very high athletic levels and always look for the best challenge fitness-wise. I was floored by how tough these workouts were and even moreso, how euphoric I felt afterwards! The studio is beautiful, the people are fantastic, and the workouts are intense. Definitely come by Pilatesmith and get ready to get in the best shape of your life! read more

I LOVE this place! It's so friendly and welcoming and has something for everyone from beginner to experienced. The workouts are more athletic than traditional pilates (which I love because I like a faster moving workout) and the trainers are terrific. I have to admit I was slightly concerned about some of the reviews re pricing but I looked at the website and I honestly think it's all very clear if you read the T&C! Anyway, if you're new to reformer pilates or want to try a slightly different version than the traditional style, give this place a go. You won't be disappointed :) read more

I just recently moved to LA and have been looking for a prenatal workout. This was the best prenatal workout I've been to since becoming pregnant. The studio was incredibly clean, Rachel the instructor was very knowledgeable and amenable to each woman's needs based on where she was at in her pregnancy. I felt like I got such a strong workout, whereas most prenatal workouts are watered down. The equipment is top notch, the studio is incredibly clean, the front desk was very friendly and the instructor was amazing. I can't wait to go back. read more

I absolutely love this studio! Pilatesmith SM has quickly become my favorite Pilates studio. Everyone is so kind, the vibe in the room is so relaxing, and the workout is always a good burn.

Had a great workout experience here! The staff was knowledgable and kind, and the studio space was really nice and fresh. Would love to get even more hands on adjustments as I'm keen to build my foundation and alignment. I feel strong and inspired to come back soon, definitely recommend if you haven't tried it! read more

Took the Heat Pilates in the Forge - such an incredible workout! Loved the instructor. She made us WORK but was so motivational, I felt challenged but supported the whole time. The studio is beautiful, equipment top of the line, and the instructors KNOW what they are doing. If you want results, go here. read more

Pilatessmith SM was great! The class was challenging but the instructor Jess did a great job at making it accessible for all levels and helping me understand all the moves. I loved the heated class, it was just the right level of heat to reallly get a sweat going without being overpowering. read more

I took my first class on Saturday with Bryanna and it was great! Everyone was so helpful when I first arrived, showing me around the studio. I hadn't taken a reformer class in a while, but Bryanna was so helpful and amazing which made it so easy to jump right back in! Can't wait to go back! read more

Loved my first class. I do more weightlifting and high intensity workouts and sometimes Pilates can feel a little unrewarding, but I left this class feeling really good! The staff and instructor was very helpful and great! About to sign up for a membership read more

Staff was friendly and welcoming, and since it was my first class at studio, I was given a tour. The studio was very clean. The class itself was great. I did an intermediate format and it was challenging and offered form correction. I will be back! read more
