I took the 630am reformer class at White House Pilates this morning and greatly enjoyed it. Ann was welcoming and very kind. She helped adjust us throughout the class to ensure our form. I appreciate how intimate the space is (6 reformers). It is inside the building down the hall incase you don't see it out on the street front. read more

White House Pilates - Pilates Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

See all

Updates have started happening in Hermosa Thank you! Pilates has literally become a form of physical and mental therapy that I look forward to each week! I can totally feel the difference when I don't go regularly! If you're curious about Reformer Pilates, I highly recommend WHP as your intro! Thank you Mia, Soleil, Diana, Angie & Chanel! read more

All the instructors are very experienced and well trained at White House Pilates in Torrance. My favorite instructors there so far are Chanel, Shannon, and Angie. read more

This place is fantastic. Real Pilates Method classes with a very experienced trainer in a casual and comfortable environment. If you've done Pilates at the gym and not liked it it's because you're at the gym with 35 other people on a mat with no personal instruction!! Get in here and get on the machines - then you'll know what real Pilates is. I've worked out in a lot of different studios and this place has the best machines. They are not the cheap ones that fold up into the wall, they are the real deal. Also, the studio is tucked away from the street in the 'Hermosa Coutryard' so people aren't walking down the street staring at you while you're laying on a crazy machine with your legs in the air! Caroline (the owner) teaches a great reformer class - and if you want more cardio try the jump board class - it will kick (and tone) your butt. read more

I took my first Pilates Reformer class here at WHP led by Mariel. Going into the class, I didn't know what to expect. The class ended up being really easy to follow, not to mention, an effective, full-body workout targeting muscle groups individually. I didn't know you could do so much with a Reformer! In an instructor, I look for patience, dedication and education and Mariel demonstrated all 3. She is inspiring, bright and trustworthy and I'd hope to continue classes with her (if only I Iived closer to the studio!). The facility is well-kept, small yet adequate. If you're looking for a more intimate class environment in the MB area, then hit up White House Pilates! read more

I really enjoy the workout I receive from Pilates and was stoked when I received an email from Groupon informing me of a package deal from White House Pilates. I sent White House Pilates and email and WHP made the signing up for classes easy and flawless. I booked a Pilates class at the Hermosa Beach location. I arrived for the 8:30am. Plenty of street parking was available. If you do not already know Hermosa Beach is 'free' to park until 10:00am so that played into my decision time for picking a class. I arrived just as several other students and the instructor 'Serene' was arriving. Again I was the only guy which I find strange because Pilates is a tough workout. As a surfer I already notice a difference in my surfing that I can trace back directly to the workout, stretching and coordination techniques from Pilates. I really enjoyed the small class size of WHP and the extra attention you receive from instructors because of the smaller class sizes. Serene played a very mellow beach vibe type of music and got all the students in the right vibe and began her instruction / guidance. As a new Pilates student I never once felt like I was falling behind, sure some of my technique with some of the moves / exercises could have been have been better but that comes in time. I felt really worked out after class and being so close to the beach I decided to go relax on the beach for a while. I really dig pushing my body to its limits and I thank 'Serene' for taking me there. This class was an incredible workout. If you have yet to try Pilates I would highly recommend WHP. read more

I absolutely love this place. This place is a godsend and I wish I could go everyday if time permitted me to. What I love is how every class has only four reformers. It's an intimate class and you will fall in love with the instructors. They are the sweetest kick-ass girls you will ever meet. They kick your ass with the workout with a smile. Book your class online and start today! read more

2 years ago I was gifted a Groupon from my Sister in Law to Whitehouse Pilates. The first class I took was with Eva and I have been taking her classes at least once a week ever since. Eva is by far the most knowlogable teacher I have come across in my years of doing Pilates. She knows both traditional and contemporary styles of practice. She is a wealth of knowledge regarding Joseph Pilates and regards him with great admiration which shows in her teaching. I always feel challenged in her class but never pushed beyond my limits. She is also great at modifying for you if you are injured. In the past I had a reoccurring back issue that had sent me in to physical therapy, ever since I have been working out with Eva I am stronger and my back issues are gone. Ava is an amazing person and a beautiful spirit. Whenever I leave her class I feel stronger & more rejuvenated. I wish I cold take her classes every day! read more

Finally back and so happy I returned! I've been a member of White House Pilates since 2010. They've been with me through my wedding, my pregnancy and post baby workouts. I took about a 6mo hiatus once my daughter was on the move and finally returned this week. I love the boutique feel of the studio. This is not a large, overcrowded studio, rather an intimate place where you feel comfortable. Love this place and of course the instructors! read more

AIR CONDITIONING. Street parking, better in the morning, otherwise given, that it is across from the beach and all the hubbub, you will burn more calories being angry that you can't park on a weekend than you will in class! Once you wind your way down the hallway to find it, you will be in a clean immaculate studio with the basics that you need to shape your body! I have been doing PILATES now for 9 years, and been to MANY STUDIOS and had MANY INSTRUCTORS, and it all boils down to the INSTRUCTOR, so if you do not like their personality, simply stop going and find a teacher that has a personality, is hands on to correct you, and doesn't just babble incessantly! read more

I've become a huge fan of pilates reformer. I found a pretty good studio where in I used to live in Huntington Beach; unfortunately I've moved to Hermosa earlier this year and has been on a quest for another studio nearby. Pros: White House is incredible! It's a quick walk from my new apartment and quite discrete, that's saying a lot considering I live on Pier Avenue. Upon entering the studio for the first time, I was greeted by a very friendly staff to fill out paperwork. Then the workout.... man, was it a freaking workout! The instructor really knew her stuff! Even though a couple people in that class were clearly more advanced than I was, the instructor still made a point to help me with my posture, all the while still directing the rest of the class. I left feeling more sweaty and sore in those 50 minutes than I did for 2 hours at the gym. Cons: A bit more expensive than most studios I've come across.... read more

I was new to Pilates last June and was somewhat wary due to some chronic back and hip pain. White House Pilates was just what the Dr. ordered. Every instructor is not only well trained but want to know about your limitations temporary or long term. They listen, modify and watch along with being professional. I am so impressed with WHP... and highly recommend them. They offer many plans and have affordable options as well. Thank you Caroline and crew... especially Chelsey for taking the time and creating an amazing new lifestyle plan for me read more

While staying in hermosa for my daughters volleyball tournaments I started going to White House Pilates. Karina is an awesome instructor. I feel like I come out on a high. It's a relaxing class and I always feel better afterwards. Parking is tough but worth it. read more

Thrilled to discover White House Pilates! Heather is helping me work through an injury. She's very gentle but still gives a tough workout. She's so attentive to her clients, the class flows beautifully. Heather is making individual adjustments to customize every movement for each student, almost like a private class, she magically does this in a group class, making sure everyone gets a good personalized session. She is a lifesaver! So grateful ! Addicted read more

White House Pilates is the BEST studio around! It's clean, close to my home and work place, which makes working out easy and what's even better is that WHP has made it fun too! The energy in the classes is high and they change the workouts so it doesn't get boring. I look forward to each class and getting stronger, leaner and more flexible! The results show! Thank you for providing such a great studio and wonderful instructors! read more

Love White House Pilates! My 3 co-workers and I went to do the free session. The facility was clean, quaint, close to where we live, and the instructor Caroline was sweet and helpful. There was no pressure to sign up and Caroline was very accommodating to our work schedules. All of us fell in love with the reformer and were all hooked! Also the studio is 4 per class so we were able to form our own class, making it a private session. Would recommend to anyone! read more

I was soooo impressed I am with White House Pilates! I have done Pilates all over the Southbay and was delightfully surprised by how fabulous White House is! I teach mat Pilates at the Southbay adult school and it has been hard to find a Pilates studio that is challenging and is actually Pilates. The teacher, Kelsi was also fabulous! I am SOOOOO excited to have finally found a great place to do Pilates in the Southbay! read more

I love WHP! Its the best and has been an excellent way to get a good workout. Caroline and her staff are helpful and give you positive feedback. WHP also has great specials. I really like the space Caroline has created.....thanks WHP! read more

Whether you are young, old, in shape or 'work in progress', you absolutely MUST give White House Pilates a try! I was a complete skeptic of Pilates, but now I am a believer! Before trying White House Pilates, I had always associated Pilates with Yoga, which I found to be relaxing - but not a true 'heart-pumping, calorie burning, body-transforming workout. Boy, was I wrong! The Group Classes will TONE and lengthen your body. You will quickly begin seeing LEAN muscle..not bulky muscle...in all the right places - under arms, shoulders, inner thighs, butt, etc. With most of my previous workouts, I would tend to become bored easily...watching the clock until the class was over. I love that in 3 months I've been attending White House Pilates - I've never done the same workout twice. The trainers are constantly finding new ways to challenge muscles I never knew existed. I never get bored; in fact the hour is up before I know it. The ONE THING that truly distinguishes White House Pilates from any other gym, studio, class or session I have ever attended - - is the way attending ONE CLASS can completely change your mindset, mood...and your entire day. There is an undeniable positive, euphoric energy that radiates throughout this studio. Caroline "BRINGS IT" - she is beyond awesome, and so are her trainers. Their positive energy is contagious...it carries throughout the class and I believe it singlehandedly is what separates White House Pilates from any other gym or fitness studio. You cannot leave a class without at least one good belly laugh! One thing is for certain: You will leave White House Pilates feeling great - in body, mind and spirit. A perfect start - or end - to any day! read more

I spend a fair amount of time in the area for work so decided to purchase some classes. The class was challenging and the instrucor was very attentive - all very important. My one complaint is that I wish there was music on during class but I'll definitely be back read more

Jovanna is an exceptional teacher. I've been doing pilates for years at various studios including White House and Jovanna really stands out as an instructor. She is very attentive to each student and is extremely knowledgable. Jovanna does a tremendous job modifying movements as needed and her class flows smoothly with easy-to-follow directions. Totally enjoy her class! read more

I enjoy both the reformer and mat classes at whitehouse pilates. They are challenging and the instructors make sure to correct your form (again and again if necessary) and ensure you are getting the most out of your sessions. There are 2 reasons I am giving this 4 stars and not 5. The first is that the 24 hour cancel policy is difficult to meet. I have seen it work just fine at 12 hours at other studios. Given that most people don't sign up more than 24 hours in advance, I think it should be a longer window to cancel. The second is that the mat room in Manhattan isn't big enough for the number of attendees if the class is full. You end up hitting people with your arms or legs. I think they should cut 1 or 2 off the max number. It messes with the experience to have to be constantly cautious of your body hitting someone elses. Other than that, I highly recommend this pilates group. read more

This little gem is tucked away off of hermosa Ave and underneath the Underground bar and one of my favorite places to hang out! Sara is the most amazing teacher offering classes at all levels. Get into a class quick... You won't regret it! read more

Well, I think White House Pilates is the best! I am a beginner and can't wait to go to another class! Caroline is a great teacher, I was feeling the pain but it was all good! My stomach was feeling flatter than it has in years! I don't know if it is flatter - but I feel better and healthier just after a few classes! I've tried some of those cardio pilates classes at a "Pilates Rocket Studios" ... and thought this is crazy I almost broke my neck - steer clear of those classes that say they're pilates - White House Pilates is great, they are personal and work with you on your level! Go for it! I am just afraid that the classes will get so popular that there will be no time available.....FOR ME! read more

I've tried other Pilates studies and Whitehouse is the best. Great personal workout experience. Classes are small and almost like you have a personal trainer. 3 locations to pick from so lots of choices. Thanks Whitehouse your the best! read more

I love Whitehouse Pilates! Have been going here for a few months and love all the classes. The studio and equipment is super clean! All of the instructors are great and very friendly, and of course it's a great workout! If you are new to Pilates or a regular check out this studio. You will be happy :) read more

Small, personal. The instructors are excellent and attentive and workouts vary, but are traditional. The website is easy to use for signing up. As of right now people don't seem to sign up much earlier than 24 hours in advance, so I haven't had any problems registering for classes, but since there are only 5 spots per class I could imagine that being challenging at times. read more

Located in beautiful Hermosa Beach, this studio offers a wide variety of classes that all provide an amazing workout. When I first arrived to the studio, I was impressed with how clean and accessible it was. I didn't really know what to expect since this was my first reformer class, but Mariel was an amazing teacher who taught a smooth and flawless class. She provided clear directions, and made the class fun and energetic. I left the class feeling great, and I'm definitely going to attend more classes in the future! read more

I love WHP!! I started in January and I am totally addicted. I am a die hard runner but I'm finding myself looking forward to Pilates more than my runs. The classes are small so you get the attention you need to perform the moves correctly. All the instructors are great - making sure you are doing things correctly yet pushing you. I have been going twice a week for two months and every class has been different. I highly recommend this studio - it is a fun yet challenging workout. I'm getting stronger and having fun! read more

Best Pilates studio in the South Bay! They are very attentive instructors who are on top of helping modify moves due to injury. The Hermosa studio is small so even full classes feel semi private. read more

Whitehouse Pilates is fabulous! I tried pilates for the first time last May and it is certainly addicting. I started completely inflexible and as I progressed I noticed the ease of touching my toes again! I am more flexible than ever before. The family that is created in the intimate setting is amazing. 100% positive attitude from the instructors and fellow "pilates sisters and brothers." Once you try, you will join! read more

White House Pilates is the best! I've been completely addicted to it for the last few months. Not only has it been an amazing workout (with results to match), but it's the first time that I have enjoyed a workout. The studio is convenient and clean. And the instructors are knowledgeable with various styles who cater to not only the advanced, but also anyone new. read more

I'm hooked! I bought a groupon for three sessions here and it was such a great deal! There are only four reformers so each class feels like a private class. You get so much individual attention so I was really confident I wasn't going to hurt myself doing something incorrectly. The teachers are awesome. I just bought a package and can't wait to go again! read more

White House Pilates is a fabulous studio! I have taken pilates for awhile, and when I moved down to Hermosa Beach, I was nervous to find a traditional pilates studio that wasn't ridiculously overpriced and/or stuck-up! The owner, Caroline, is WONDERFUL. I really loved that they gave a free intro class and have also run a few coupon deals to make it a bit easier for those of us who struggle to afford it :). I highly recommend trying White House Pilates!! read more

White House Pilates is incredible. Class sizes are small which means you get personalized attention in every class. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and know how to push you to get the most of your workout. I'm so much stronger as a result and it's helped me have better posture, flexibility and core strength. read more

White House Pilates is tremendous. Everything about it is very personalized, even though you are taking small group classes. Caroline, Kelsi and Kristel all teach a little but differently, but you are always challenged. I started going to WHP less than 2 years ago because I was having constant back pain. Slowly but surely my core has been strengthened so much that I no longer have persistent pain. It is also a very friendly, welcoming atmosphere. read more

Great classes. Instructor Amy was amazing! She's hands on and is in tune with each clients needs!

Kelsi is awsome, really knows her stuff so you don't hurt yourself. Classes are tailored to your experience. My back pain is gone and I am happy! !! Equipment is first rate, studio is clean. I would highly recommend this studio. read more

Almost a year later, and WHP continues to impress with Best of the Beach two years in a row! I am currently 6 months pregnant and have continued to do Pilates with WHP the entire time. Each instructor is very knowledgeable and helpful, making accommodations and alterations for positions/poses, etc. I feel very safe knowing that I am being taken care of such wonderful women! read more

I have taken Pilates in several studios over more than 5 years and White House is among the best. Studio is always clean. Mariel is a great instructor. She can give you a really good workout and she is attentive to each person giving you guidance on form so you get a lot out of it. She is great for both reformer and mat. I always come away feeling stronger and more fit. read more
