Pilates Westwood is the Best

by pphed2121

I just moved to Los Angeles from Chicago in October. I have been doing Pilates for 2 years and looking for a studio to continue my sessions. I found Pilates Westwood and a teacher named Daniela who teaches "classical Pilates". My workouts are intense and fun without putting any stress on my joints especially my low back. I have a herniated disc at L4-L5 and have found Pilates has made me strong enough to not have pain in my back. The key, I am told, is making the low deep abdominals strong. Whatever it does it works! My physical therapist is truly impressed with my progress and also plans to take a session at the studio. Try this!!!

AWESOME

by chocolatebear2121

The best thing about Pilates Westwood besides the talented teachers, wonderful studio, and perfect location is their uniquely suited packages that will fit your personal fitness goals and budget. Most of the teachers have been teaching for 5-10+ years and you definitely feel the difference compared to other studio in West Los Angeles. They also train in the Gryotonic Expansion method which is very well matched with Pilates. They will work with you on prices and introductory packages. Mat Classes and Reformer classes are also available. I am happy that I found this studio. I work with Abey and she is great!

Pilates Mat Classes and Reformer Classes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by FRTFCE

Finding good Pilates' Mat and Reformer Classes in West Los Angeles is often a challenging task. However, at Pilates Westwood you will find the perfect class and / or private, semi-private session. I take a weekly private session with Anna Lisa who is certified in Pilates and the Gyrotonic Expansion System and also the Monday night mat class. In January, I will be taking the Reformer class on Sunday mornings. Overall, I feel

Stronger and more flexible with Pilates than any other type of exercise system I have done in the past. The prices, especially for the classes, are affordable and well worth the money.

Best Pilates

by Ilovecole

No matter what you are looking for: Pilates, Rehabilitation, Gyrotonic, functional fitness exercises, massage or stretching classes this studio has it all! I have been going to Pilates Westwood for about 1 year. I am very happy with the results it has produced. I can finally wear sleeveless shirts again! The teachers are extremely skilled, friendly and professional - YOU WILL NOT FIND ANY DIVAS HERE! I have recommended the studio to some of my friends and they are equally impressed.

• Pros: Studio, teachers
• Cons: Parking

Great deal for first timers!

by nicole201

I found this studio as a college student at UCLA and couldn't believe the deal they give you for your first session! I was instantly hooked. Pilates is not like anything I have ever tried and I can't explain why it feels so good but I think it is because it is super challenging but fun at the same time! I am officially addicted. This space is in a great location right near school in the heart of Westwood and everyone who works there is nice. I think my only complaint is that I can only afford to come once a week-otherwise I would be in every day!!!!

• Pros: location, people, workout

Passionate about Pilates!

by suzyQ62

I recently took a Pilates Mat class at Pilates Westwood, from Lesley Logan. She truly is the most passionate, knowledgeable and professional instructor I've ever worked with. I've had a lot of fitness trainers, because I can get bored or loose focus. Lesley's voice tone keeps me completely focused. Lesley is the perfect balance of strength, and kindness. She cares enough to tell you like it is, but totally and completely professional. With knowledge comes strength and Lesley obviously has the knowledge and has been trained and certified by the best of the best! I felt a connection with her the minute I walked in the Mat class! I look forward to going to her classes again and I am so glad to finally find a teacher that keeps me engaged in what I am doing. Her passion for pilates is contagious!

• Pros: Highly Professional Pilates Mat Instructor!
• Cons: none

Worked me to the core!

by houselhoff

Let me start by saying that as a man, I was a bit skeptical and slightly embarrassed to be trying out Pilates but I have been struggling with back trouble for awhile and I was told pilates would be the best thing for it. Well, six months later, I am pleasantly surprised that not only did my back pain go away, but I think I may be in the best shape of my life! My teacher, Lana, worked me to the core-literally! It has given me my six pack back. So all you guys out there-take the leap, it's worth it!

• Pros: awesome work out

An Amazing Experience

Pilates Westwood has changed my life. From the moment I walked in and was greeted by several friendly teachers, I have had a consistently amazing experience. The space is great-very large, wonderful equipment , and most importantly knowledgeable and compassionate teachers. I have worked with a few and would recommend any of them. Definitely the best thing I have ever done for my body!

Pilates Westwood Rocks!

by Pilatesisthebest

Pilates Westwood is great! The staff is friendly and professional, the studio large and they have plenty of equipment. They offer mat classes on Mondays and Wednesdays at 8 pm and reformer classes on Sunday mornings. My husband and I both take the mat class and a private session each week. We have seen results and my husband swears that Pilates has saved him from back pain. I have learned that Pilates is not only a workout but a system that emphasizes balance. Do yourself a favor and try their introductory session which is only $40.

• Pros: location, staff and equipment

I Love Pilates!

by BelleofLA

The studio, Pilates Westwood, was a find for me as I was walking down the street going to lunch on Westwood Blvd. because I work on Wilshire around the corner. I found the actual studio to be well-run, clean, professional and fun. The private lesson I took from Daniella was so great! I bought a 10 pack and am half way through my series. I feel stronger and taller and am excited to keep up with this new way to work out. Best of all, it has helped my lower back and neck pain. My golf game is improving and I credit Pilates.......

• Pros: Great equipment, friendly and knowledgable instructors. Flexible hours for after work too.
