Turning Point Pilates

04/15/2008 Posted by Leslie22

I found Turning Point through Citysearch when I came to LA for four months from New York. I will miss it terribly. Robin Solo is exraordinarily attentive and experienced and knew how to work with my 60 year old body. Although I have taken pilates for several years, this is the first time I really feel fit and strong. I wish I could bring her back to New York! Great location, easy to park, and a light-filled inviting space. The best.

Ok, so its not pizza, but it got your attention! Robin has grown from a small one person studio to a two floor pilates studio capable of training several people at once. She has a great team of instructors, especially KJ, who apart from a having a huge green tea addiction, is phenomenal at adjusting your positioning to make every minimal exercise test every core muscle to its max. I havent done any other exercise that accelerates weight loss and tone as much as pilates at Turning Point Pilates. Keep up the good work. But a pizza oven would really help. Gary Morgan

Turning Point Pilates also has an amazing staff of instructors which contributes to the availability of this studio in providing both private and group lessons. This, in additional to the beauty of the space and great equipment, makes this studio, in my opinion, and I have been to a lot of studios on the Westside, the place for Pilates For beginners, you will begin to notice a difference after 10 sessions, after 20 you will begin to feel taller, thinner and leaner, not mention friends will begin to notice a certain glow about you beyond the toning and weight loss. Coming from someone who has been there after 30 sessions you will not even recognize your own body and you will be amazed at the transformation. One may balk and say "30 sessions- that’s a lot- I cant go through with it" But 30 sessions if you can devote yourself 2-3 times a week , especially with Robin or KJ or Kristina, will go by so quickly and you will look forward to more sessions. I will guarantee that from the moment you walk into the studio and are instructed by any one of the staff of Turning Point Pilates, you will be hooked. I am 38, and have been doing Pilates for 5 years, 2 solid with Turning Point Pilates ( as to it’s the only studio that has maintained my results and always keeps me up for a challenge) and I am amazed how my body not only maintains its tone when I am not training but that it has also sped up my metabolism. I can eat more now in my late 30's than when I was in my 20's. This may not come in a pill form and it will require you just bringing your body to the studio but you will be amazed at what Pilates can do for you. Cherisse Morgan

Robin and KJ are amazing - very informed, very supportive and the environment in the studio is a great environment for both rehabilitative and strenuous workouts.

Turning Point Pilates is amazing. The space itself is refreshing, clean, and inviting. There is a full range of equipment available, including the cadilac machine, reformers ,and stretching aparatus. Robin is an amazing instructor. She caters to your personal needs and changes the routines with every work out. She focuses on your alignment, breathing and form. There are packages available for singles and duets. She even had a sale on packages! The pilates experience is one you should add to your weekly workout schedule. It improves your entire body! I truly look forward to each and every session ... and you will too!

Pros: Ambience, Parking, Service

I began training with Robin over 1 year now and I have not looked or felt better. Working on the computer all day effects my back but with her training on the 'core' my back and body is hard-core! I love it. The principles of pilates are wonderful, stretching, stenghthening and lengthening all add to changing your body from head to toe. The studio is very cool, very relaxed and Robins knowledge makes training at Turning Point such a pleasure!

I started taking pilates with Robin when received her card for 3 private sessions for $ 125. I have been wanting to try pilates for over a year. My best friend raves about pilates and I had seen such a difference in her body over a short period of time..Well I have been seeing Robin for just over a month, and I can see my body changing already...Gotta love that..My core and stomach is stronger an my arms are more defined..all over my body feels leaner and stronger., Robins keeps it interesting with her cool personality and her endless techniques to keep you from even think about getting bored...Its a total challenge that doesn't leave you exhausted afterwards, but more energized.. Im officially hooked, and recommend Robin to anyone who is interested in getting into Pilates or is looking for a new studio.

Pros: Robin's mix of knowledge and fun, great location

Robin rocks. She's down to earth and easy to talk to which makes for an awesome Pilates instructor. She offers great customer service to all her clients. And finally she really knows what she's doing; I’m tickled pink when I think about the definition in my arms and legs and for the first time in my life I can say; I have a butt!

I love going to my pilates sessions with Robin. Not only does she make it both rewarding and fun, but it's also obvious that she really knows the principles and techniques of pilates. I am confident that she will be able to help me achieve my goals of being healthy and looking & feeling better.

Pros: Great location, ample parking

This is my first experience with practicing Pilates. I absolutely love it, and I believe I found the perfect space AND instructor! The instructor is very informative, patient and will help build your sessions around your needs and goals. I highly recommend to anyone that wants to try it for the first time or has been practicing Pilates for years!
