The Studio MDR is my favorite lagree pilates studio! The front desk staff is friendly & helpful, the instructors enjoy teaching and the owner truly cares. I love how they mix up the workouts and provide ways to modify them so I constantly feel challenged. My posture has improved, my core is stronger and on a good day I see a bit of my obliques peeking through ; ) read more

Great staff, great facilities--but truly THE BEST workout. Intense, intentional and sooo effective.

If you're looking for the best lagree studio in the area, studio MDR is definitely it! All the instructors are so friendly, make you feel comfortable when you're starting out and the workout is always challenging. I'm absolutely obsessed with this place & can't recommend it enough to anyone looking to try lagree! read more

MDR is hands down the best Lagree studio in LA. I've brought my roommate, best friends, co-workers, and brother here. Everyone experiences the shakes. Huge shoutout to the best East instructor, Dana Aikeen who not only has the most inviting personality, but also has the greatest playlist of all time. She constantly motivates you during the 45 minute work out and will even stick around after to help if you have questions on form. Great studio, great parking. Super clean. Love the staff and instructors. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Studio MDR. I started coming here a few months ago and it has completely transformed my body. I feel stronger, leaner, and more energized than ever -- and I'm officially addicted to this workout! The classes are challenging in the best way, and every single instructor is knowledgeable, motivating, and supportive. They each bring their own vibe, but all maintain the same high standard that makes this place truly stand out. If you're looking for a workout that actually delivers visible results and keeps you coming back for more, Studio MDR is it. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely love this location and the classes here!! All teachers and so nice and knowledgeable . Classes are great- difficult and really rewarding. Can't say enough good things about it. A must try. read more

Studio MDR is truly the best on the west side! If you're looking for incredible teachers, multiple locations with lots of class times, and to build community -- you're at the right place! Studio MDR does fun monthly challenges (with amazing prizes), pop ups, sponsored classes, + more and really makes it feel like a community! I love how much the studio offers beyond just classes. The workout is also incredible, I've been doing it for over a year now (100+ classes in) and it still continues to challenge me. Yumi, Marissa, and Sabrina are my all time faves! read more

I just (attempted) to take a class at MDR East with Charley (an instructor my gf recommended) I got stuck with Yumi, a sub. This was the worst class I've ever taken. I take Pilates classes very frequently. There was no music. It was very hard to understand the instructor (Yumi). Obviously, these are intricate movements that require quick thorough description to work through each exercise quickly. It was alllllll talking and very hard to understand . No motivating music. It was actually such a headache. I have the class 15 minutes before I just couldn't take it. I had booked through class pass, I know their policy is that the studios NEED to inform you of changes to instructors. I spoke to a woman at the front desk named Tracy. Tracy told me they were informed since "Tuesday 3/4, that Charley was out of town for the week." I said, well, if that were the case. You should inform patrons. So they can decide to keep reservation or not. I told her I would be contesting the class on Class pass, since policy wasn't upheld. I walked out of class and waited for my friend to finish class. Who was inside. I reached out to customer service with class pass, who informed me -- my reservation was changed to "No show." (Which incurs a FEE). I walked in, to Tracy's surprise, I was still at studio. I asked did you change my reservation from "checked in" to "no show"? Because last I check- I showed. Tried sub. Did not like sub. And left. That is not a no show. She tried to agree with me that IT WAS A NO SHOW. I don't know what kind of customer service this is. But I've been a patron of MDR (west) and never had an issue like this. Tracy was very disrespectful. She obviously should not be in a customer service role. Out of principle, she was dishonest- I did SHOW. And took no accountability for not informing of a sub. Really disappointed with this experience. Yumi as an instructor. Tracy as front desk. All around. Really bad. Won't be returning. Now due to Tracy's dishonest it's been escalated in ClassPass' customer service team as well. read more

The Studio MDR East - Summer challenge! So fun - Gyms Near Me - Culver City, California

See all

Started coming to The Studio MDR last year and fell in love! Great workout, great music, and some great instructors too. I began taking their Essentials classes with Marissa and she really helped set up my lagree journey for success. Every class she was very encouraging and thorough in teaching us the key moves. After a few months I was able to transition to taking their Total Body classes, and have now also really enjoyed classes with Yumi, Dana, Cathy, & Miguel! I appreciate the energy they bring and how they make sure to correct our forms and provide various modification options. In addition they have several locations across West LA that are all great. The studio is currently doing their summer challenge (14 classes within 4 weeks) which I participated in for the first time and I just completed it earlier this week, it's such a fun idea! read more

Today I attended my first (MDR) Total Body class at 7:15 AM with my instructor Dani London! I started my Pilate journey January 2nd of this year with MDR.

I will definitely continue my monthly package of unlimited sessions! I love it here! read more

The Studio MDR East - Gyms Near Me - Culver City, California

I honestly have NO idea how I have not reviewed TheStudio, yet. I've been going to all three locations for over two years and it is legit my favorite all over body workout. I swear...it's not just because all the studios are my favorite color, either. East is definitely my personal favorite--outside of my intro class (which I'm pretty sure are all at West) it was where I had all my first classes. It is the smallest studio, but also feels the most like a community (although don't get me wrong, they ALL do!) The instructors are all amazing (shoutout to Journey, Steph, and Albina!), encouraging, and very careful to check form throughout class. You are only allowed to do one Lagree class a day--and for good reason (although I wish I could do a stretch and a regular class, on the same day!) Prior to Lagree, I was a Pilates chick for years....but Lagree literally changes your body. You will no joke see a change in your body within a week. I used to go 3-4 times a week and wasn't doing cardio...I've been going 1-2 times a week, with cardio and a yoga sesh and man. My fiance is even kind enough to comment on my abs :) Don't go into this thinking it will be easy--those machines look scary, but once you get the hang of them, they are not...but they are HARD. Go slow, concentrate on yourself, cry if you need to....but your body, mind, and soul will thank you later. read more

Been coming here since before my wedding and I love it! I now have a monthly membership and don't miss my workouts ever. Not having an athletic background prevented me from becoming more active, due to fear, but now I have found my safe place where I get stronger every day! Love my StudioMdr community! read more

Great clean location! Advanced and intense classes which I love Easy access to parking read more

One of the instructors were VERY Racist and rude to me. I arrived and he told me I must've gotten lost cause there's no way I'm taking his class. I was puzzled and showed him I paid online and saw my name on the computer screen and he laughed and told me to scram read more

OMGGGGGGG I cannot even walk!! This studio is killing me! I use to go to a similar studio in another city and heard a lot about this place so had to try it. STOP IT!! I think I'm going to be sore for days! Love this place and am thankful I found it. Getting beach body ready. Everyone is so friendly and attentive. It's a must! read more

It took me two attempts to love Studio MDR. The first time, I was looking for my "home" studio, the place where I would spend 3 hours a week, thereby checking off my fitness box for the week. I really tried to love it, I went to different instructors and all three locations and after two or three months, I just felt like it wasn't for me. I needed something with more cardio, more movement, less Lululemon (no offense to the Lulus, but you know what I mean). I drifted around on my fitness journey, the details of which I won't bore you with, but I ultimately found a workout I love. After about 6 months, I felt the need to supplement with a secondary, quieter form of exercise, if anything to balance out my body. And that's when I rediscovered MDR. Lo and behold, it's a perfect supplement to an active cardio-heavy workout. It's perfect on days when I don't feel like huffing and puffing but still want to challenge my body. The other key factor was finding an instructor I love. While it seems like the workout should be standard, it's totally not. Every instructor has a certain flow, a certain way of explaining the move, and of course, their own musical tastes (this is important to me, since a great song can mean the difference between collapsing a plank and holding it just a bit longer). Kudos also to the awesome staff and management. It seems at first like the type of place that has a snobbish attitude, which you quietly swallow while paying an arm and leg for 50 minutes of torture, but it's anything but. The girls upfront are helpful, the studios are always super clean, and the equipment is well-maintained. Finally, they do a good job staggering class times, so you can always get to a class. read more

No showers, complimentary towels, or parking. The workout is good, but I wouldn't recommend coming here when it's prime rush hour or if you need to be somewhere else. I think the classes are pricey too (went through Classpass). I've been to their other location (I believe in Culver City), it and actually had showers. So, go there if you can! read more

Best workout and so many amazing teachers! No matter how often I go it's always challenging. Has been my go to for the last year. read more
