I have been considering joining a reformer pilates class for a long time but have always been…read morenervous to make a large financial commitment. After attending the orientation class, I knew this location was the perfect place for me! The attention to detail, the small class size, the energy of the owner and instructors, the frequent class schedule, the proximity to my home and the focus on results VS the "fashion" of it all is exactly what I've been looking for. Each instructor has their own style, their own music, their own vibe and there is a great variety between more mindful classes and more athletic classes. The classes have helped me regain my mind-body connection and make exercise feel meaningful while seeing results. I love the variety of attendees at the classes. I have been going for almost a month and I can't wait to keep going!

Been coming here for 6 months and it has been fantastic! Instructors have been patient and have…read morebeen great at showing correct form while doing exercises. It's been a welcoming space when I come in and I really feel the energy of their message about 'honoring your body'. It has been ingrained into my mind and I remember it when I live my day to day life. The body/mind connection emphasized during classes has been helpful to be aware of how my body communicates with me when I'm doing physical activities. I strongly recommend anyone to come in if you've been curious as it can help find the peace and inner healing you've been looking for. Take a free class and begin to HONOR YOUR BODY

Came to this studio for the first time in over a year and had an amazing experience! Alejandra was…read moremy teacher and she was fantastic! I loved her playlist and it had some great Latin spice to it to really add a great energy and vibe to the class. She did a great job of breaking down the exercises and explained well how to execute each one properly. She even walked around to ensure we were all doing it correctly and gave helpful adjustments when needed. The class consisted of students of all levels and was accessible to everyone. I myself haven't done Pilates in several months, so I loved how easy it was to jump back in! The studio consists of several reformers, all of which were in great condition. All the props you need are at each reformer, along with a chair in front, which we used for some of the exercises. The studio is conveniently located in downtown Burbank, with easy parking across the street at one of the free lots. It can get a bit parked up at night, but I always manage to find a spot when I'm in the area!

I took my FIRST ever Pilates class here with Cynthia as the instructor. I had a great experience, check in was easy, and I came 10 min early so I could get a quick crash course of the reformer that was going to be used in the class. Cynthia was mindful to ask if I had any pain, injuries, or anything else for her to keep in mind throughout the class. She made sure to come fix my posture and anyone else in the class to properly challenge ourselves safely. Classes are maybe up to 10 people MAX so you can be sure you'll be attended to. So far I've taken two classes and they have been full body workouts. I appreciate that they've started on time and leave me learning about my fitness level. I'll be coming back more! *Note- I used classpass*

I have been going to this studio for over 5 years. It began when I suffered a major hamstring…read moretear....and the doctors said at my age they would not operate. A doctor refereed me to a Pilates instructor to build up the specific muscles around the torn hamstring, which would keep me from compensating as I walked...which had begun causing a lot of pain. It worked, and as long as I keep those muscles strong, I have no pain due to that injury. In the last year I began to have hip issues. My x-rays and doctor indicated that it was arthritis, and that I probably had a hip replacement coming up. I had reached the point where I couldn't walk up hill or up stairs...or even long walks without a lot of pain. My Pilates instructor began to work on building those surrounding muscles and it has worked. I couldn't be more grateful. This studio has instructors who know what they are doing! Historically, I was not a gym person...I didn't like anything about going to a gym. But, with Pilates, I figured any exercise program that began with me lying down couldn't be all bad (ha, ha). I actually feel noticeably better after each session.

The reason for three stars, 2 reasons: the reformers are not at the same height off the floor. Two…read moreperformers are a normal height and the rest of them sit inches off the floor. It does affect how you are able to perform some of the exercise exercises. Reason 2: The instructor did not ask if I had any injuries, which most instructors do. I was a couple minutes late, so maybe that's why she didn't ask. But seriously most instructors want to know if there's injuries or anything so clients don't hurt themselves.

I decided to take this more well-rounded approach to wellness as opposed to simply working out until I died. Elaine has guided me through a better understanding of what my body needs to truly thrive. With her help I've begun creating a better set of daily routines and rituals which has in turn left me feeling healthier, more fit, and more energized. I appreciate her wholistic approach to wellness and look forward to continuing my journey with her. If you've been considering nutrition coaching I cannot recommend Elaine Starr highly enough.

We hosted a birthday at Focus Pilates last night and I cannot recommend them enough…read more From the very beginning, their responsiveness was incredible. Every question was answered quickly and thoroughly, and the owner was absolutely AMAZING to work with - so kind, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making the night special. When we arrived, the studio was spotless. Clean, bright, and welcoming. They let us come in early to set up balloons and party favors, which made everything feel personalized and festive. They even had small welcome gifts for each guest (such a thoughtful touch!), plus a tote bag and special gift for the birthday girl. It truly felt elevated and intentional. The class itself was 10/10. It was challenging enough for the girls who are experienced, but paced perfectly so beginners felt comfortable and successful. The instructor struck the perfect balance - encouraging, clear, and motivating. They even let us send a playlist ahead of time, which made it feel even more personal and fun. They also let us stay after for pictures, which meant a lot. If you're thinking about hosting a private event or trying out a class here - do it.

I was greeted immediately when arriving by the friendly staff who ensured I knew where everything was. The studio is spacious and has a lovely layout with a large mirror in front and reformers well spaced out from one another. The class I took was small and intimate which allowed the instructor to both demonstrate the moves while going around to offer assistance and corrections as needed. The reformers were all new and in great condition and the studio was also bright and clean with cute decor. There were plenty of props available to use. The instructor was great at really describing how to get into each move and incorporated a variety of exercises and stretches to get a full body workout. There were also modifications available, if needed. Afterwards, I felt amazing. They have a small parking lot that's shared with a few other businesses but I was able to find some street parking right in front!

I used to only do cardio and never enjoyed going to the gym, especially without guidance, but this has been the perfect alternative. With consistent classes, I've noticed a huge improvement in my strength, built muscle, and feel much more toned overall. I've taken classes with several different instructors, and they're all really great, but I have to give a special shoutout to Helene. She gives clear, helpful instruction and thoughtful adjustments, and she really knows how to challenge you and push you to improve. Her classes are never boring. She mixes things up with different moves and keeps it fresh every time. On top of that, she makes class genuinely fun and always gets us laughing, which is a nice distraction from the burn! I'm moving out of the area soon and am so sad I won't be able to keep coming here. I am hoping the studios in my new area are even half as good. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get stronger in a supportive and engaging environment!

Then, I have had the pleasure of working with Jaime teacher for more than a year, and I can confidently say that it changed my daily routine(posture) for the better. Jaime teacher's classes are sometimes challenging, but she takes the time to adjust each exercise to my level of ability, making sure that I get the most out of each session. She's also very attentive and makes sure that I am using the correct form. It helped out a lot with the condition I am suffering from. (backache, shoulder pain, the usual that comes with having bad posture). Currently, I am currently taking private and group classes at Crescendo Pilates. The workout atmosphere is positive and encouraging. I highly recommend Crescendo Pilates to anyone looking for skilled and supportive Pilates instructors.
