I have never left a negative review in my life simply because it isn't worth it to leave anyone a…read morebad review. This is one of the worst interactions I have ever had with a person or business. I found Patte online on Yelp, she was the closest pilates instructor to me so that is why I contacted her. At the time she had a 2 for $99 special listed on Yelp, which she didn't honor, she said that she had changed it to 2 for $140. That should have been the first red flag. I booked sessions with her for my teenage daughter, she only has privates and in total I prepaid for 10 sessions. I don't know how she is an instructor just as a business owner. In the first month of using her, she had canceled for vacation, canceled last minute due to illness(totally understandable), and asked us to come earlier for her convenience(because she was taking classes and wanted to leave earlier even though it was inconvenient for us) and asked us to come at different times. I was very accommodating to her. Then one morning my daughter was not feeling well and I texted her at 7:30 am in the morning to cancel the 3 pm class. She informed me of the cancellation policy and said she would let it slide this time. I was a bit surprised I know all about cancellation policies as I work with one and because of COVID and empathy for people I let things slide as I do not want to see a sick person. Patte herself gave me less than 3 hours to cancel the appointment with us. I think that customer relations are reciprocal. I asked about the cancellation policy and she informed me unless someone is in the emergency room she doesn't care. Her tone was entitled and I felt like canceling all classes but since I am not taking the classes I let it slide. I know that cancellation policies are necessary for people who constantly cancel or miss their appointments and don't value your time. After the 8th session, Patte texted me and said that the next session was the last and she would be going away again. I texted her back and listed the dates my daughter had been to her and corrected her that it was her second last. She never responded. So after the 9th session, I tried to speak to Patte and she told me that she would no longer honor the sick day. I said that there is a text log of all conversations and not only is she not honoring her agreement she was the one who was constantly shifting appointments to suit her life. She then pulled me into the back room closed the door and told me I was rude to her over text and that's why she changed her mind. Because I asked about her cancellation policy? She started raising her voice and as I tried to leave I hit record on my phone (for safety) which I have never had to do before, she then grabbed my phone and threw it on the floor(which is all recorded BTW). This was the craziest most unhinged interaction I have had in my life. I hope this information was useful to you. I wish I was warned.

I can see myself becoming stronger every week They have a diverse selection of classes. Each are about 50 minutes long. I started with 9 foundation classes before enrolling in the more advanced classes - which really helped me improve my form & learn the moves. There is no pressure to overexert yourself but more of a focus to acknowledge where you are & help you gain strength over time. Which as a semi slender couch potato with a previous car injury I truly appreciate this outlook. Overall, I've noticed my body has improved & so have my stress levels. About the studio itself: everything is new & well maintained. I appreciate the commitment to non toxic hand sani & cleaning products. The location is perfectly nestled in the Culver Art District & it is nice area to walk around after class. You barely hear the outside traffic (if there is any). It is a peaceful atmosphere. Parking is easy to find on the streets. There's a few bus stops not too far away as well.

I came on a weeknight after work and booked through ClassPass. The workout includes…read moreconditioning/weights on a vibration plate and also a workout on a reformer. As a heads up, the reformer is from Basi (the studio took over the Basi space) so the reformer is slightly wider compared to a balanced body. Overall, the workout was just okay but I think it's because the class was about 30 min even though it was listed as a 50 min class on ClassPass. Maybe it was intended to be a 30 min class? The class was listed as 5:30-6:20, but I walked out of the studio at 6:10, and before I walked out of the studio I changed into jeans which took me at least a couple min. So at most, I think the class was 35 min. It's definitely different compared to just a reformer Pilates studio but I'm not sure I'd be back.

She also provides thoughtful feedback and practical "homework" I can apply outside of class. On top of that, she brings such positive, inspiring energy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a more mindful, therapeutic approach to Pilates.

The vibes here are immaculate. In September of 2023, I decided to commit more to my practice and started taking 5 classes a week. Through these classes my body has completely transformed. I have never been this strong in my life. Because Pilates is low impact it makes coming to frequent classes sustainable and enjoyable. I used to be so overworked and stressed from high impact workouts and was never able to get the results I wanted. By being consistent at Studio Elevate I have been able to push myself in ways I never thought possible while finding peace within my workouts. Leah is a dream and her team of skilled instructors are incredible. Thank you to Krissy for helping me stay consistent and keeping me strong.

If you are ready to work hard, build strength, and change your body, Pilates 80/20 is the place for you. The class vibe is low ego, high commit. The focus is on form, technique, and ongoing growth, so you never plateau or just " go through the motions." The culture Patrice has created attracts like-minded students: a community of thoughtful, hard-working and welcoming people, always encouraging one another in the studio, regardless of age, experience or level. And her set list is always on point . Although Pilates 80/20 recently opened, I have studied with Patrice for 5+ years, so this review has longevity.
