I've had the pleasure of seeing firsthand the impact that X-treme Pilates has, not just in the studio, but in my clinic as well. As a Chiropractor, I work with a lot of patients who also train at XTP, and the difference in their strength, body awareness, and overall movement quality is undeniable. They come in more connected to their bodies, with better control and stability, which makes a huge difference in both their recovery and performance. Janine is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to the musculoskeletal system, and that really shows in how she coaches and programs. What I appreciate most is how easy it is to communicate with her. I can confidently talk through cases, movement patterns, or specific concerns, and she just gets it. That level of understanding and collaboration is rare and so valuable for patient outcomes. If you're looking for a place that not only pushes you but also truly understands how the body should move, X-treme Pilates is it. Couldn't recommend it more. read more

Personal instruction tailored to your ability and strength. I saw results after 1x/ weekly private + 1x/weekly group classes and I have osteoporosis! I've been coming one year now and I don't plan on stopping! You'll learn how to safely strengthen your core muscles as well as your back muscles so that your spine can be held up with greater strength and beauty. XTREME Pilates is now a part of my life. After the results I have seen, I couldn't imagine quitting. I know my body wouldn't like it! I'm gardening, lifting moderately heavy plants, and enjoying the fruits of my training. Thank you, Janine! read more

I really like taking pilates classes here! I get a really good workout as the instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful.

I've come for several beginners classes on Sunday morning with Marija and Monday evening with Janine. These ladies are great! Their explanation of what to do and how to do it correctly to target the right muscles is excellent. They are patient and attentive to newcomers unlike other facilities. The machines and facility is clean and the ambience, welcoming. Plenty of free parking in the lot in the front. read more

There's no pilates studio like X-Treme pilates. When I lived in Tujunga this was my go-to. Their equipment, instructors, and customer service are all top notch. I now live in Sherman Oaks and I'm surrounded by so many pilates studios and I've yet to find a studio like X-Treme which is devastating. I hope to see them expand because the quality of X-Treme Pilates is one of a kind and worth every dollar! read more

This studio is now under a new name. They take Classpass. First time visiting after a long time. Very nice looking and clean. Many contraptions were incorporated into the class which I really like because it adds variety and makes it interesting. Not as hard though as Motivate or Lagree213, but I still enjoyed it very much. I definitely would come back. Plenty of free parking in a shared lot, but the lot can get busy. There is free street parking. read more

X-Treme Pilates - Amazing instructors! - Pilates Near Me - La Canada, California

Went to my first ever Pilates class here and couldn't have had a better experience. Scheduled a private session with Shawn to learn the ropes and she did an amazing job of teaching me the basics while pushing me at the same time. Will definitely be back. read more

Where do I start? X-treme Pilates and owner Janine have been such a blessing in my life. I've never really enjoyed traditional exercise classes but was looking for something to help me to regain strength following my diagnosis of breast cancer at age 29. I've had multiple surgeries and suffer from chronic joint pain, so I was really looking for a way to help me feel more like myself again. I've found all this and more. Janine is the kindest soul who also happens to KNOW HER STUFF when it comes to Pilates. Her classes are the highlight of my day and with regular practice I've finally found a form of movement I love! I feel stronger than I have in a darn long time, plus my joint pain is practically gone! All the teachers at this studio are wonderful and each have their own style, so you can find a class that meets your specific goals! I also love Julie, Naira and Shawn's classes. Oh and did I mention, Janine brings along her angel dog Cali to class, which is another excellent reason for attending! Janine has created such a wonderful studio, full of kind people of all ages and abilities, and attending class has given me a new wonderful community that I didn't even know I was missing. Janine, thanks so much for everything you do! read more

X-Treme Pilates - Pilates Near Me - La Canada, California

I love this place! Janine is such an intellect and such a scientist! But she is also an amazing Pilates instructor, so get ready for the event of a lifetime, as you are taken on a journey of kinesthetic instruction as well as a lesson in muscular anatomy as well as workout beyond belief! And she honors my poor injured body with all its' recent surgeries and pushes me just enough to get well and stronger and well...what else can I say? It is a terrific place! All of the instructors are excellent. Just go! Get strong! (I already have a "2-pack") Tee hee..... read more

I've had this location saved for a long time because of the great reviews it has. I finally built the courage to start Pilates earlier this year. I booked my first class with Janine and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made! She was so kind, welcoming & I was shocked she even remembered my name because it's difficult for most people to remember/pronounce. She helps improve your form & acknowledges when you're doing a good job. A very positive experience every class I have with her! I never write reviews but XTP is well worth reviewing and acknowledging a great studio with great instructors read more

Love this studio! All the instructors are really good and they take the time to explain the exercises so we do them correctly. Another plus for me is that there are plenty of classes to choose from in the morning and afternoon and it's more affordable than other places. Janine and Julie are the best! read more

Best decision I have made in a long time! I needed to exercise to build up my core strength. I have done private sessions and group classes at X-Treme Pilates. I love them both. The instructors have been very helpful and patient with me as I get acclimated. Feeling good and looking forward to keeping this going. Join us! read more

I've been doing pilates in the area for 10 years, and this is my favorite studio now that it is under new ownership. The moves are simple but challenging. I'm leaving today red-faced and sweaty, but others can adjust springs and take things at their own level. The new owner, Janine, is my favorite instructor, and she has really created a lovely sense of community in the studio. The other inductors are fun and friendly too. Whether you are new or seasoned, check this place out asap. read more

My mom and I have been coming here for at least a year now and it's unmatched. I'm 22 and she's nearing her 60s, proving this class is really for anyone! The instructors are so knowledgeable about functional anatomy, and really take care to educate you about proper body mechanics and postural control. I personally love Davida's classes (they get my heart rate up!), but all the instructors have unique and influential approaches all absolutely worth trying out. If you're new definitely take Julie's class - she's so experienced and a very effective teacher. We love this studio!! read more

I've been coming to X-Treme Pilates for years, and for good reason. Pilates has changed my life. I knew nothing about this form of exercise before, but now I am hooked -- and healthier, stronger, and feeling good in my own skin. I've lost 25 pounds and have kept it off with a semi-healthy diet and regular exercise. More importantly, I've experienced the following benefits from taking classes consistently: - Increased core strength (I don't have a six-pack, but my tummy is stronger); - Better balance (I am naturally klutzy); - Improved coordination; - Improved posture; - Better flexibility and mobility; and - Reduced stress (my career is stressful; Pilates makes me more mindful and aware of stress in my body). There are many Pilates studios to choose from; they are not all created equally. X-Treme, especially under new ownership, sets itself apart from the pack. The studio is large, clean, and inviting, with state-of-the-art reformers. Owner, Janine Glass, and the other instructors take the time to patiently show you good form in a warm and engaging manner. They are all passionate about body movement and highly knowledgeable about isometrics, breath work, and getting the best out of you. Classes are well-paced -- not the fast grind of Lagree, but steady enough to make you sweat while also promoting mind-body awareness. It's not always easy (classes will make you stretch in all ways!) but I always leave class feeling uplifted - physically and mentally. I used to dread exercise, but I am so glad that I found this inviting and inspiring studio. I consider it one of the best investments I can make in myself. If you want to make a change, or are just curious about Pilates, check out X-Treme Pilates. read more

Love coming here. I've been doing Pilates for a few years and when Janine was leaving the other studio I attend I had to come to her new place... it's is a entire body workout and I love they encourage adding extra weight for a harder/ but totally doable exercise to help us build strength in the body. Seeing Cali in the class is just an added extra bonus read more

As an 80+year old, I was searching for an exercise program that I could do without harming myself . . . and this is it!!!!! I've been going twice a week for three months and the workouts have transformed my body. Janine modifies the movements to suit my needs. After a while I find I can do what the class is doing! We seldom do the same routines, so the classes are always interesting. I might think I'm working just my legs, but my whole body is engaged. Wonderful studio! Excellent instruction! read more

X-Treme Pilates - Maree C. Great workout! - Pilates Near Me - La Canada, California

I've been coming here steadily since February and I look forward to it every time. The studio is clean, the instructors are great, and the clients are lovely. I was nervous about coming back to Pilates after a few years and I'm so happy I found this studio. read more

This is the best workout spot. The instructors are amazing! The reformers are top of the line machines. The studio is clean and the environment is friendly! read more

I'm new to Pilates as of 6 weeks ago. I'd had an injury so was out of strenuous exercise for nearly a year. I need something to get me strong again before I can go hard with anything more jarring. I had tried another studio in town and wasn't convinced I'd commit. I heard good things about X-Treme Pilates and thought I'd give it a try. I've now got an 8-class per month membership and have enjoyed every class. I'm still trying out various instructors and learning how to use the machine, and the mechanics of my own body. Janine, the owner, has been very helpful and approachable. I really enjoy it and feel myself getting stronger. read more

I have been attending Treme pilates for 12 years. Julie is one of the instructors who normally teaches on Wednesday. She is master pilates instructor who really cares about your conditioning. She teaches with clarity and she makes sure your posture is correct. She is approachable and very concerned about your workout. read more

The Pilates classes here are the best around! Love these reformers, the smaller class size, and the instructors are so thorough and knowledgeable, and they keep it fun and challenging! Good variety of class times, too. A great workout! read more

I absolutely adore Julie as a Pilates instructor! As a dancer she is very knowledgeable about the body and very good at making sure you do the moves correctly and with good form. Julie is a very compassionate and kind person and has helped me so much throughout the years! She sold the studio but I am so happy along with many others to see her teaching again. Try her class and see for yourself what I am talking about. She is the greatest! read more

Super clean studio with challenging classes and a nice schedule for the week and weekend. I'd love to see more variety in the teachers and wish they were in class pass (!) but otherwise this is my go to Pilates place in La Canada. read more

X-Treme pilates is my favorite place to stay strong and active. Janine, the new owner, is very knowledgeable and caring.

I most strongly recommend Xtreme Pilates with absolutely no hesitation. I started early this year. As a "senior", I realized that I needed to work to maintain bone and muscle strength and balance, and Pilates was suggested to me as a very good way to do that. Although there are several Pilates studios closer to my home, I selected Xtreme based on very strong reviews. I am hooked! Janine, the owner, and the other instructors on the team are fabulous. Each provide strength training in their own way, with individual help for each of the 10 clients at each session, with motivation, support, encouragement, humor, and attention to each client's limitations and needs in a very welcoming environment. The studio is attractive, meticulously clean, and roomy. I am excited to attend each session and feel great afterward. Thank you Xtreme Pilates staff! read more

Great instruction, great classes. Great scheduling and payment options. Worth every penny.

I have been going for exactly a month today. I Started with Chava and so far She has been my favorite. If you are a beginner I highly recommend her. She has a great sense of humor, extremely helpful and full of positive energy. I decided to go here for number of reasons. 1- it is right down the street from me. 2- If I wanted to pay for gym membership and a trainer I'd pay more and I wouldn't be able to go more than twice a week anyway(which is how often I go here). 3- My sciatic nerve got inflamed(I'm 25) and I almost couldn't move my left side for a few hours which is very scary at this age. It was caused by my bad posture, driving too much and sudden movements. My goals were to fix my posture/nerve issues, get rid of my back fat, flatten my stomach and just tighten up over all. My diet has hardly changed. I eat smaller portions of the same things I used to eat throughout the day (I have two big meals and love to have healthy snacks like fruits and nutts in between meals. I also love desserts and never hold back when I see them). The only major change I made to my diet was that I halved my carb and sugar intake. I just used to eat A LOT OF PASTA and now I still eat it often but smaller portions. I did try Hydroxycut for the first two weeks but it was making me too jittery and I didn't like it so I stopped and that is when I knew how effective this class is. I have basically reached the body that I want by 80% without any major changes to my diet and daily life. my inner thighs are getting toned, my hips are getting more round, my butt is getting firmer, my arms are getting thinner, my back fat is ALMOST gone. My stomach is completely flat in the morning (stay tuned for photos) and I just have a tiny bump at the end of the night because of all the munching I do all day. Also one time in class my sciatica got inflamed when I got up too fast and Chava showed me this move which made the pain completely go away in a matter of seconds. I had to go to the hospital on my 25th birthday because of this issue. My entire left side was violently shaking and I couldn't use my left leg to walk. I sat in the hospital for 5 hours in pain,shaking and all they could do is prescribe me pain killers. Also when I am out of this class,I am ready to go out. I am not worn out and exhausted infact I am very energetic. I just get sweaty and need a quick shower but it does not get in the way of my life because I can do it literally at any time of the day I find free time. I definitely recommend this place and definitely recommend class with Chava. You guys will fall in love with her, trust me. read more

What a gem of a studio in the foothills! I have been practicing Pilates for 20 plus years now here and in Asia, and this studio has everything you need (and never knew you needed): competent and caring instructors, new and super clean equipment, relaxing yet motivating ambience, classes all times of the day and week. Lots of regulars and despite the name, nothing is extreme if you don't want it to be; the instructors encourage modification to suit your physical situation. I have tried out 2 other studios in the area and when I found X-treme, I knew this was what I had been looking for; it is head and shoulders above them all! read more

Absolutely love this Pilates studio! I've been coming since October of last year and I have the 16 class a month package so I come 4x a week and I love it! I can totally see/feel a difference in my body and in my mood! The classes are offered at convenient hours and affordable! If you want to come before or after work they have classes to fit your schedule! The owner Janine is amazing! Super sweet and friendly and really knows her stuff as well as all the other instructors. What I like about the studio is there's different instructors each day so you don't always get the same workout because each instructor has their own style of doing Pilates. The studio is also very clean and each reformer gets wiped down after each use. I'd also like to mention I never have a problem finding parking which is a big issue for a lot of Pilates studios and what initially made me choose this spot! Check them out! You won't regret it! read more

I have been attending X-Treme Pilates since end of summer last year and it grew on me so quickly! Chava provides an amazing class, keeping it upbeat and engaging, rolling through all the exercises she can within the hour, and keeping it fun. She also keeps an eye on your form adjusting you when needed with a funny and caring comment that makes you aware of how you should align your body and helping you find an easy to remember that. Come try Chava's motivating class- she also takes suggestions at the start of class for your favorite exercises! read more

Excellent teachers and all very professional. My 3rd month here and no issues. Place is super clean and well maintained.

I've been coming to X-Treme Pilates for just over 3 months now and it has been the best decision of my life. I was suffering from consistent back and neck spasms and it was due to my lack of strength in my core. Janine was so kind in my first day (and every single day after that) and made me feel welcomed in a place that seemed extremely unfamiliar. I got used to the machine very quickly! As a beginner, the speed at which every move is taught is perfect. You don't feel rushed, but it's also not lagging in any way. Janine has built a community in her studio and I feel like I'm walking in to see friends and get a DEEP burn all of my body! This is the best studio in town, and everyone should definitely give it a try. It might seem intimidating at first, but that'll all change after your first class. read more

great facility and teachers. Janine is always changing things up so you never get bored and are always being challenged.

Attending classes at x-treme Pilates has saved me on so many levels and I make it an absolute priority to attend 2-3 times a week. First, my Ortho told me I needed a disc replacement due to years of strain on my back and taking Pilates has delayed my need for back surgery. It's the only activity that actually helps to alleviate my pain. Second, I have an incredible amount of stress in my life and this class helps to release so much stress and anxiety. It's truly like no other. Third, as I get older I am noticing my balance is greatly challenged. Taking classes here has greatly improved my balance (I can put on my shoes without holding on to anything for perspective). There was a recent article in the LA times about how Pilates was a privileged white womans activity. Yes it's a little expensive however I have spent Thousands on gym memberships that have gone to waste and prepaying for classes makes me go! These classes are also diverse- I love the mix of young and old and diversity of strengths. As a person of color, I feel very comfortable. Most everyone is welcoming and the teachers in particular Janine and Lulu are extraordinary. When I come I'm never bored bc there is always something new and the classes go by so quickly. read more

I love X-Treme Pilates! It's a clean studio with fantastic instructors. Always the perfect balance of challenging moves and fun atmosphere!

It was my first time at XTP and the class was so welcoming! I was unfortunately 10-15 min late but Janine was so kind enough to still let me join the class late and I still got a great workout in. I love Pilates so I'm excited to hopefully be a new regular at this new studio! read more

I love X-Treme Pilates! It goes without saying that I expect a pilates studio to be clean (and it is). The equipment is very good, and in great condition. But here's what sets them apart: The instructors are outstanding, and they really understand body mechanics. As a result, the workouts are challenging regardless of your level, and the instructors are good about modifying for injury and based on ability. I highly recommend X-Treme Pilates! read more
