Gorgeous and clean studio with a unique vibe! The front desk staff was amazing and the instructor, Kelsey, was truly excellent--challenging, attentive, and genuinely passionate about helping people. Definitely check this studio out! read more

I've been taking Pilates classes at this studio since 2023, and my experience has been extremely disappointing. The staff is unprofessional, and the owner is incredibly difficult to communicate with. I always been a loyal customer to businesses I enjoy. Unfortunately, my experience here has been disappointing. The communication with the owner is extremely difficult, which has made an otherwise positive experience frustrating. For a loyal customer to feel compelled to leave, it usually takes more than just inconvenience--it signals deeper issues with the way the business is managed. I really wanted to continue supporting this studio, but the lack of effective communication has made it impossible for me to do so. With so many other Pilates studios in the area, Mightly Pilates , Soildcore, Natural Pilates, PilatesCaves.... I strongly recommend avoiding this one. Save your time and money--there are far better options elsewhere. All the good reviews because if you gave them 5 starts they will bribe you a free class read more

Great workout! Instructors explained movements super well and paid good attention to form as classes are smaller, and it is a clean studio with nice equipment. Only street parking, with free parking in neighborhoods during the day before 6 pm. Front desk was super welcoming!! Will be (and already have been) coming back! Walked away feeling like I was challenged without feeling frustrated or overworked. read more

Absolutely loved the tempo Pilates class with Jess S at the Santa Monica studio! It was challenging while not being too fast paced and Jess gave great adjustments! Will definitely be back :) read more

I've recently started my Pilates journey and have taken just a handful of classes -- and I'm so glad I found Pilatesmith! From the moment I walked in, the studio made me feel completely comfortable and removed any intimidation I initially felt as a beginner. Carly was an amazing instructor -- her cues were clear, encouraging, and really helped me improve my form. I left class feeling more confident and excited to keep going with Pilates. The reformer machines are in excellent condition, easy to use, and not overwhelming at all. Plus, the props used during class are super accessible and really enhance the workout. Highly recommend for anyone. read more

I have been successfully looking for a prenatal class that is still challenging, many are too easy. I love it here & so happy I found it to enjoy throughout the last 1/2 of my pregnancy! read more

Great experience. Clean, beautiful studio- friendly staff who were warm and caring. Highly recommend.

Had such an amazing first class with Cynthia. Very clear instructions, challenging but manageable workout. I felt very welcome and appreciated to be in the class. Studio is clean, welcoming, and trendy. Great vibe, great class, great workout all around. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I love Pilatesmith! I had walked by their studio on Main Street and was super curious (but also a bit nervous!) to try Pilatesmith. Since I am newer to pilates, I finally signed up for the Apprentice class and couldn't say better things about the studio, the instructors, and the workout! I particularly love Ky's class because she provides very clear instructions, demonstrates more complicated moves, and offers both modifications and progressions. I try and go to Pilatesmith twice a week now and I'm noticing how much stronger I'm getting!! The studio itself is super clean and everyone from the staff to other patrons are always kind. I couldn't recommend Pilatesmith more! read more

Pilatesmith - Beautiful and clean space for group classes! - Pilates Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Nice place, Very clean and stylish, the staff were very friendly and they had great instructors. I'm excited to go back

I came from out of town and had the best class with Jessica, I haven't woke up sore in years such a great feeling! Such a friendly front desk greeting as well! Blaire Schnebel read more

Took Tempo Pilates class with Jess and had such a great time! Loved the fast-paced sequences and variety of exercises. Definitely left feeling like I targeted every muscle and will certainly be back. The machines were great to work with and the ambiance of the studio made the experience 10x better! read more

Such a cute studio with a very welcoming front desk and a few studios with plenty of reformers which I like. I took the Novice class with Myra and she was so high energy and was great at demo-ing and working us through each move. Parking also was relatively easy I was able to snag a free spot on a side street (Pacific) but I saw plenty of metered spots around. Would definitely recommend the Novice class for newbies and will come here again as one of the studios I will frequent. read more

Beautiful space with easy to find street parking. The instructor was nice and personable and the class was a great workout!

I took a non-heated Pilates class. It was a solid workout in a lovely environment! People were very nice too!

Pilatesmith has been my favorite studio for pilates. As a newbie to pilates, the team was so friendly and nice. They made sure to check in on me after my first class to see how it went. In the past week, I've tried several instructors and they have all been consistently great (which is a feat in itself). They also have several levels to choose from when you sign up for the class, but the instructors have always been willing to help me modify the exercises in each class when needed as well. I really felt like I got a great workout and they have a lot of equipment to help people with coordination, balance and strength. Love it! read more

I had the pleasure of joining one of Jessica's tempo classes - body rocked! I was not expecting that type of workout and it was awesome. Jessica made sure to communicate each move effectively to the class and made adjustments as needed. She even moved an object out of my way! Will be back for sure. read more

I joined a friend for a weekend workout with Ky, who was great. I secured the intro price for new clients and found the app to pay and book super easy and user friendly. The studio is nice, albeit small. Staff were all friendly and welcoming. The music was a bit much for me personally on the day of my workout. As someone who regularly did pilates on a megaformer, the reformer was nice, well cared for, easy to use and in great shape. The workout I received was excellent and really forced me to work and I was able to keep up with instructions. My biggest reservation about this studio is the terms and conditions for membership, particularly the requirement of a $30 contract termination no matter when or how you terminate. So, if you follow the rules as outlined, you'll still be charged a termination fee. The second reservation is that the fees in comparison to other studios are a bit higher. But, these are my reservations and I recommend checking out the studio for yourself. I would consider joining with my friend if there weren't a termination fee because paying the extra money to join a friend would be worth it here. read more

I took a beginner level pilates class at Pilatesmith and it went really well. I had taken other pilates classes before and thought it would still be a good workout for me, but when when say beginner....they mean beginner. if you've done pilates before, go for the intermediate or advanced level classes instead. I took another intermediate level class and it was much better for my level. Standing lunges are a killer no matter what level!! read more

Loved this studio! Everyone was so welcoming and it's such a cute space. Definitely will be going back.

Just had my first class and loved it! Really enjoyed the smaller group size in comparison to other workouts in the area.

I attended my first prenatal Pilates class here and it was great! The room was clean and comfortable and the instructor was excellent. Overall a good experience! read more

The Santa Monica location was so cute and the class size is pretty small (8-9 reformers). The instructor was great at balancing the class - modified portions for someone with an injury, helped personalize tension levels, etc. The class went so quickly & transitions were smooth. If you're okay with the price point, great studio. read more

Today I took class with Carly for adv Pilates she was sooo amazing at correcting form, absolutely loved her flow music and energy!!! Will be back to take her class ASAPP!!! read more

Great class! The instructor was great with corrections, accommodations, or even giving more challenging moves for more advanced students. Excited to come back! read more

took the prenatal class Carly and it was great. Challenging but manageable. Studio is lovely and clean.

I went to the Novice level Pilates class described as a class for beginners. I have been to several Pilates classes before and was very disappointed but the way this class was executed. My instructor was intense and used a tone with us that felt rude and demeaning. If we were having trouble with a specific move, she would yell at us from across the room to adjust it. This would only make me frantic instead of coming over to quietly adjust me. I felt as though I was at an intense boot camp rather than a Pilates class where I usually feel in tune with my body and focused. I was very disappointed by the overall attitude of the instructor. Overall I enjoyed the movements we were doing and the rooms themselves were asthetic and pleasing which is the only reason I am rating this a 2 star. I hope that not all of the instructors are like this. read more

Cute studio! Front desk was friendly and I really enjoyed the heated reformer class! Will be back

Unhelpful staff - have witnessed falls and injuries, instructors do not slow down or care.

I have a few Pilates instructors that I like to follow around, and fortunately (or unfortunately) for Jessica, she is now one of the few that I stalk. I love Jessica's classes because of her pacing as well as keeping things fresh and challenging. I was also happy to see that Brieze is an instructor here since she too was one of my favorite teachers! The studio space is awesome. Top floor has a cadillac and two reformers for privates, and down below is where she holds her classes. The reformers, TRX, springboard, and my favorite, the chair. Parking is super easy, I think metered spots on Main, and there may also be a parking lot nearby. read more

cute studio with great instructors! discovered it because I was looking for a prenatal Pilates class, got a much better workout at this class than others I've tried in the area read more

Took the heated adv reformer. Studio was clean, very pretty, and had lots of street parking nearby. Class was great, the teacher was creative with the movements and I got an amazing full body workout. Would highly recommend! read more

One of the best Pilates classes I've taken in Santa Monica. Kam was a fabulous instructor for an introduction to this studio. The Apprentice class was challenging, energizing, and just the right pace for getting acquainted here. And the studio itself is lovely -- airy, light-filled, with easy street parking right there. Will definitely go back! read more

Studio is so clean, cozy, and the perfect fit to feel comfortable and get a good workout in. Everyone was super kind and helpful and the heated classes are the perfect amount of sweat and work. read more

This class was difficult but refreshing and moved at a manageable pace. I got such a good workout in but was able to last the whole time and take minimal breaks!!! Loved it would recommend to anyone looking for classic reformer Pilates with a twist read more

I've been doing HIIT pilates for a long time at several of the Westside studios. Although I thought I was probably capable of an advanced class, I figured I'd try intermediate, per their website for my first class, and it was plenty challenging. Class is relatively small, only 8 or 9 reformers. Michelle is an excellent teacher, providing clear instructions that you can hear and she is constantly giving adjustments to everyone; which feels like a rarity these days. Form is everything. I loved that this class started with TRX warm-ups and then moved to reformer. It was certainly a challenging class and we continuously took muscles to exhaustion. The only cons, which I don't factor into my score because not relevant to quality of the workout (and are my personal taste). 1. These cement floors are so unforgiving to the back... but most studios have them. 2. The area where you place your stuff is awkward, shared between 2 classes, and no matter what, you're always in someone's way. 3. stylistically: great looking studio, but functionally, I'd prefer more mirrors so you could more easily see what the teacher is showing without having to turn around. Ultimately, where it counts most: the caliber of teachers and equipment are impressive and I will defn return. read more

I took the Tempo Class with Jessica and it was a great workout and very challenging! The studio was nice and clean and the staff was very welcoming. :) read more

I've been to a lot of pilates studios and Pilatesmith is my absolute favorite. We had to move out of the neighborhood and I am devastated to no longer be close by. I started taking their classes and switched over to the prenatal classes more recently. I really looked forward to their classes and especially appreciate the community that the studio fosters. Their instructors are incredible - highly recommend! read more

Such a beautiful studio, I have taken pilates at many different studios and I have to say Pilatesmith is my favorite so far. I felt very challenged in the Tempo Advanced Reformer class. The studio is so cute and most importantly I got a great workout in! read more

Amazing class! Great studio, new reformers and equipment, I love the small classes and the instructor and the location.
