The studio is always spotless with tons of class options throughout the day. They also offer validated parking (that's like finding a pot of gold in DTLA) so there's no excuses to not go. I haven't had the chance to work out with all the instructors due to my personal schedule, but each & every one thus far has been fun, patient, challenging, & effective. I vibe the most with Reese, Rita, & Ann because their routines have my legs & abs shaking every single time. I strategically save them for weekends when I don't mind being rendered completely useless afterwards. My only suggestion: make intro classes mandatory for newbies so instructors aren't stopping mid-class (& mid-pose ) to correct form. I was once that person, so I say this with love! The people here are the real magic, though. Every single person, from the front desk, to the instructors, to my fellow students, is an absolute sweetheart. Toni especially is pure sunshine in human form & must be protected at all costs! Thank you, Club Pilates, for my one hour of flawless vibes & sanity per day. My therapist thanks you too

Instead of just using brute force, it felt more about control, and you can definitely feel the targeted muscles afterward. The difficulty level isn't exactly easy, but it's also not overwhelming. You can adjust based on your own condition, which I appreciated. You'll definitely break a sweat and feel your core working the entire time!

What I love most is how Gabriel brings together mind, body, and spirit during the 50-minute workout. It's more than just fitness -- it's empowering. He somehow pushes you past your limits while making you tap into this inner warrior spirit you didn't even know you had. The energy in the room is unmatched, and you leave feeling stronger physically and mentally every time. If you're looking for a workout that will challenge you, inspire you, and leave your core on fire, I strongly recommend taking Gabriel's Killer Core class. You absolutely will not regret it!

Sadly, I haven't been able to come back for more with her since my call schedule conflicts with her class times, but I also have had had an amazing time working out with Nicole. I will say that I can get lost a lot as a beginner to reformer pilates and sometimes it's hard to see the example or cue from afar, but overall the coreology sessions are incredible.

I made it pretty clear that I didn't mind a different instructor the first couple of sessions since it would give me an opportunity to find an instructor that works for me. After a couple of different instructors, I WAS finally able to find someone that I liked. I won't name the others, but must point out that LIWON was the best instructor out of all of them. She is extremely professional and you can tell that she's experienced and highly qualified. She really tries to help you use the correct muscles and will push you enough to be motivated, and not discouraged. She doesn't get distracted and will focus on you and your posture while giving you adjustments as needed. Compared to some other pilates classes I've taken in the past, the approach they take is slower paced. This can be good/bad, depending on what you're looking for. If you want to focus on having a better posture during your workouts, I would highly recommend Movement Pilates. The studio itself is very well managed and clean. You can tell they do a great job maintaining the place. I also love the fact that they send you a reminder text before your classes, this is soooo helpful :) *PARKING: validated valet $2 or residential street parking a few blocks away.

I've certain found more members using the facilities but also discovered quite a bit of new programmings like the Pilates classes, mahjong club, live jazz performances and movie nights. I was not really sure about the change at the beginning but I am now fully embracing the new LAAC. Many of the staff and members have been here for a long time and it is nice to be greeted by familiar faces when coming to the club. The restaurants are pretty decent. Love to top my salad with a nice piece of salmon after workout at the Famous Players or have a tasty glass of scotch while enjoying the live jazz performance at the Invention. The sports bar Duke's has great happy hours and fun monthly evening karaoke or chess club meetings. The only thing I complain about is the need for shock absorbance and insulation of the noise or moving the weight station. The northwest corner of the Famous Players near Olive Street shakes every time the weightlifters drop their weights, which is very annoying and distracting for the diners. Feel like the ceiling or floor is going to drop out. No joke. For now, I would sit as far away from the northwest corner as I possibly can. But hope the club would look into it. I have been trying to sign up for the monthly wine tasting but they are always full. Maybe consider having the event more frequently or scale up? Regardless, I am still exploring all the new offerings at the club and really pleased with the Pilates classes and the live music performances. Although I am apprehensive when I first see the co-working space and the influx of new members, I now appreciate the additional events and classes that come with the new members and hope the club continues to do well and do better as I am here to stay.

The lap pool was my favorite part - clean and calm. There was some miscommunication between the lobby and the store, as one said there is no reservation system but there in fact was. But even when told all the lanes were fully reserved, more than half weren't in use. Parking is a bit of a hassle; for non-members it's definitely not worth it. At the time of visit, the parking machine wasn't working. There are also sperate elevators for parking vs the athletic club / hotel area which was a little confusing. The stair numbers also didn't coordinate the best with actual level.

I'd been recovering from a herniated disc from years earlier, which left me with limited flexibility and reduced strength in my right hip. Lesley built sessions that targeted my core and the supporting muscle groups I'd been compensating for. After about a year of consistent weekend sessions, the improvement in strength, mobility, and stability was obvious. Lesley is intuitive, knowledgeable, and patient. She helped reduce pain, improve my posture, and rebuild core strength in a way that actually stuck. That foundation has made a real difference. Her background in physical therapy shows in everything she does. She understands muscles, joints, and personal limits, and she pays attention. She builds sessions around what each person needs, not a one‑size‑fits‑all routine. The studio itself elevates the experience. The variety of equipment--the Pilates reformer, Cadillac Reformer, barrel, and more--makes it easier to target specific muscle groups and perform different postures correctly. It keeps each session fresh, challenging, and genuinely next level. The progress really showed during travel. Long days of walking or climbing stairs used to be tough. Now I move better, hold better posture, and can enjoy places--like the uneven streets of Pompeii--without the same strain. I still have work to do, but Pilates of Pasadena has made that progress possible. I highly recommend Lesley and Pilates of Pasadena.
