I have taken many, many different pilates private and group classes from plenty of experienced (and…read morelacking) instructors all around Los Angeles, and by far this little hidden gym has the best priced group classes I have found. I always feel like I am taking a private class...the teacher is so intuitive and attentive, and finds a way to connect you to your core, shifting you just a bit here and there until you say aha..that's what she means! The instructors get it, even if the class is full at 6, I always leave satisfied, strengthened and stretched :-) From what I gather, Pilates is supposed to be a methodical, slow moving practice with extreme attention to proper alignment...and I don't know about everyone else but when I have taken Pilates group classes at other studios, that fast past, loud music environment that seems to be the trend, it does everything BUT connect you to your body during each movement. You are whipped from one exercise to another and then overwork the joint. OUch. As much as I like all music and a good sweat, that's not real Pilates..that's going to the gym, using as much weight as you can to over burn and sadly possibly cause future damage. At 37, that's NOT for me anymore! I'll take Josheph's Pilates method that the instructor applies at Westside Workout and I'll leave the loud yummy music and sweating from every pore for when I'm running down on the beach, blasting my ipod to Nirvana or some cheesy pop single just to get me going ... Okay I know that's not so good for my joints either but... I believe in balance!!! :-)

The instructor and owner KATY is very kind, very positive and truly deeply experienced…read more This review addresses both her excellent teaching and the private, as well as the studio itself. The highest compliment I can pay Katy is that she deserves a studio as upscale and classy as she is. The pricing is incredibly reasonable; and she goes out of her way with regards to schedule to ensure that privates can be set up around the clients in her schedule. I got a tremendous amount out of the 55 minutes that we were working, and was truly impressed by her skill as a pilates instructor - clearly she can handle both newcomers up to advanced dancers. The owner was transparent and said that at this time she's limited in being able to take on new clientele, but is always open to the conversation as scheduling might just work out. Like a lot of studios post Covid, she still working out other instructors' schedules. So that this review is credible, there are a few things that should be shared in transparency: Good air-conditioning is crucial especially during these long hot dry summer days and nights; like a lot of buildings in Santa Monica, particularly older ones (the building that this private small studio is in is quite old and a bit rundown)- there is no central air - at least none that is working; so the studio relies on standalone air conditioning's that you would purchase at Home Depot. And unfortunately given how hot it is right now, they were not substantial to keep the place cool through the 50 minutes of a work out. I had to ask a few times if there was anyway to make it cooler; and while all devices differ, the overall temperature throughout our session was around 78 to 79° (it was 84 degrees outside according to my Iphone). This obviously would not be an issue during the cooler months when Santa Monica's overall temperature would be in the high 60s to low 70s. Equipment was all in good shape; not all brand new but it's still well-kept. For some reason the studio was kept in the dark - there were no lights on and bamboo shades were drawn so the whole session was pretty much in semi darkness; I'm not sure what the reason for that was other than to help keep the temperature down. It made for a bit of a gloomy overall tone to the session. I could've asked if we could turn on the lights, but given that the air-conditioning was already struggling, thought it more important to keep it as cool as possible and guessed that was the reason for all lights being off. There is no water offered in the studio; you'll want to bring your own. And there is a small dog that did leap on me as I entered and was active and running around at a few points during the session. This is definitely something that is of course completely personal preference - but I always find it compassionate and helpful when an owner lets you know that there will be a small animal running around in the studio; I prefer a completely clean studio with no animals, and wish this had been clearly mentioned during any one of our conversations leading up to our first session. (Upon entering the dog was removed from my feet, and I was told would remain in his little bed set up by the Cadillac; however that was not the case). If you're a dog person, or don't mind a small animal occasionally walking around during your session, then this won't be an issue. KATY's excellence as an instructor outweighs these small negatives; and if you live/work in Santa Monica or close to Pico and Main, it's definitely worth checking out!
