I like to switch between these two studios which gives me way more options for classes. I like the set up here and love that it's darker than other studios I've visited. All of the instructors have been very helpful and hands on with the exception of Shelby so I try to avoid her classes. Finding parking has never been an issue for me but I can see it getting packed during peak times. If you're new, try to go 5-10 minutes earlier to ask questions about the mega reformer as the classes fly by. It can be intimidating but just focus on form and don't forget to take grippy socks as they charge $20 for them.

I didn't even know that you would act in such a vindictive manner towards your past customers, so I signed up yesterday as well and to my surprise and disappointment was the disrespectful treatment I received from you. In my opinion, you are behaving in the most disrespectful way! You notified me while I was looking for parking before entering the class! And you charged me another $30 for a late fee!!!! The height of insolence! I'm still waiting for my money back! Regarding your scheduling and registration, it didn't work for me personally as a mother of 3, so I felt that the money I was paying wasn't worth it to me if I couldn't schedule classes! I tried both morning and evening, the availability was very low! It didn't work for me in any way, so it makes sense for me to stop subscribing to you.

During the class I'm always shaking my head second guessing my life, but after I feel stronger and accomplished!

I love this place!…read more Natalie, the owner of Woodland Hills Pilates was recommended to me back before covid. I met her in a studio off of Ventura Blvd. She took her personal time to introduce me to Pilates and gave me 3 one on one lessons. She explained to me how the machine operated, breathing techniques, and specifically let me know what muscles I should be feeling at work, during each movement. Like many people my age or even all ages both men and women, I suffer from chronic sciatica pain, which in my case is a nerve being pinched from vertebra and the pain can radiate around my hip down the front of my leg to my knee; and when its really bad, I have pain all the way down to my foot. I've had 4 epidural shots in 2017, and recently had another 3 epidural this past year. Currently waiting for an MRI this weekend so a Dr. can come up with another solution. Natalie took the time back in 2019 to only give me exercises that I could do. She pinpointed that my front right leg and my back left leg was week and my front left leg and my back left were much stronger. This new information gave me a place to start adjusting my workouts to strenthening and sturdy my "gate" :) A matter of a fact another physical trainer I saw months later identified the exact same diagnosis as Natalie did. WoW! Since I live in Lake Balboa, I don't get up to Fallbrook to often, but when I can I do make sure to get over there and take a class. She also has some other talented teachers. The classes are very intimate, yet comfortable because there are 4 reformers in each class. I also like that each class seems different and we do different variations of exercises at each class. I also attend a studio just around the corner from my house, and they are great too, but we always to the same movements each time. Lastly, if I ask for a modification exercise due to my low back issue, both Natalie and the other instructors there are happy to show me modifications.:), and they seem happy to be working there ;and most important, I don't feel rushed out. The only thing I would like to see, is for them to sell tank tops or work out shirts for us to wear, I know I would wear them everywhere.. : ) I highly recommend signing up for Woodland Hills Pilates, hopefully it will help any back pain you have, like it does mine. Respectively, Janell C

Not a great experience with this private studio. The equipment was too narrow, and limiting, and…read morewhile not 100% the owners responsibility - it meant some discomfort and a feeling of not getting an ideal experience due to constraints of equipment (which the owner admitted was not ideal... she was limited by what the company she ordered from manufactured ... but still ... she knew it created discomfort and constrictions...) Sadly - as is wont with some small Owners unwilling to take fair feedback - untruthful comments get thrown in, rather than addressing the input and perhaps using it to help business. But again this Owner was not comfortable discussing, so all that was left was one-sided communication as to the challenges. After only a handful of sessions and paying for a full package, it became clear the owner was not as patient as she had stated upfront- with "everybody having different needs" and Pilates being "very much about the individual finding their comfort zone", etc. A few times when I expressed pain during an exercise, there would be this awkward silence and she would appear frustrated, rather than simply working around as an experienced Pilates instructor will do. Pilates is about healing and strengthening the body first and foremost - so if something is hurting, that's an indication that somethings clearly needs to be adjusted. But that didn't seem to be comfortable for owner at times. There were also a lot of assurances made of availability ..: and I had been upfront that I was still completing radiation during the work week, and therefore things were a bit week by week - especially during Covid, and my work schedule would require some amount of flexibility with scheduling on a weekly basis. I was given a lot of assurances that she understood that and would definitely work things out because she was in what she did to help heal and that she look forward to figuring it out. I believe a LOT of people were dealing with changing work conditions throughout Covid. Owner had limitations that came up with last minute social plans, and one weekend breaking her phone limiting communication; cancelling a session via text- which I spotted only after I had driven out to Woodland Hills. After only a handful of sessions - with out courtesy of a call- she TEXTED to cancel the package. No discussion - she simply decided that was best for her. It would've been far more respectful (especially knowing my illness) and professional to at least have allowed for a brief, friendly closure. One thing I continually noted was that to every compliment, I got a negative response. Complimented the curtains covering the garage door windows (studio is a converted garage - tastefully done) - Owner responded she wasn't happy with how they came out. Complimented the bathroom tiling, and that was met with a story about how the reconstruction had gone, that things didn't come out exactly as she wished. One hopes their 55 minutes of private exercise will be a reasonably upbeat, positive experience. Of course- it takes two to create a vibe - pilates is about healing and some amount of working with a client's limitations and injuries (and not always comfortable for the client in pain) - and as a recent survivor I'm apprehensive in a new space - so one hopes the instructor understands and accepts those concerns as it's their business, and their studio they're welcoming clients into (and charging hourly for!) ... positivity and patience go a long way. On the plus side: the house the studio is located in is beautiful, incredibly clean and well-kept. As noted, it's nicely decorated. Fluorescent lighting was a challenge - the owner's solution was to keep lighting dim at night ... a bit of a downer. Pricing is reasonable, and I believe the owner really does have good intentions, and is experienced and knowledgeable. Thank you.

They guide you through the exercises and keep it positive. The studio has lots of time slots available and the pricing is fair compared to other studios. Now to the CONS The studio is dirty. I've only gone twice and both times it's back to back classes so the studio doesn't get cleaned in between. Both times, I saw lots of hair on the floor, my mat, in the reformer and just lots of other crumbs and boogers, whatever else accumulated throughout the day. The class is designed like a circuit and you don't use the reformer the entire time, both times juts one exercise used the machine. It's very strange to be in a Pilates studio and not use the machines more. The equipment (weights, benches,etc) is worn out, cracked, dirty and just needs updating. Overall, I got a great workout regardless and was sweating my brains out so if this stuff is not an issue, you will enjoy the class as everyone else in there is happy to be there and clearly been coming for a while. But for me, I really wanted a reformer class that utilizes the machines for the majority, if not the entirety of the class.
