Pilates Westwood

into Pilates Westwood! No, no, there isn't a fire. But you will feel hot -or at least feel the burn in your muscles- after a session here! I love the space and the fact that it is around the corner from my apartment. The Westwood area has had a few studios pop up in the area, but Pilates Westwood is still the frontrunner for professionalism, cleanliness, friendliness, and overall kickbutness. Starting a new exercise regimen is already hard enough, but no one wants to go in and feel like they're being over looked or taken advantage of. This is the place to escape being a ""bill"" and become an actual person. The attitudes in this place is a positive, welcoming one. Re: the exercise itself- I am a Pilates instructor. I'm also a dancer. I also have Scoliosis. So from every direction, I know what my body can do with Pilates. At least, I thought I knew. I swear that the trainer I worked with, Pamela (cutest accent btw), worked muscles I never knew I had. I don't know whether to thank her or send her the bill for the new bikinis I bought due to my enlarged ego. Seriously though, I could tell she knew what she was doing, what I needed to do, and how to get my body to do it. All of the instructors seemed really nice and knowledgeable, I will, however, recommend her to my friends. more

The Pilates Westwood studio is spacious and clean and there is a good selection of well maintained equipment ideal for use in class. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about improving there health and physical stamina by doing Pilates. In this studio one does not feel like a commodity to be exploited for one more

I have experienced numerous Pilates studio's & instructors in and around the Los Angeles area, and none have come close to my experience with Pamela Debiase at Pilates Westwood. The quality of the sessions are exceptional - I am challenged and I feel Pamela takes deep care in assessing what is best for my body, she always plans accordingly. The studio itself is well maintained and I feel welcome and comfortable when I am there. At first I was hesitant about parking in the Westwood area, but I have yet to have a problem (especially since the studio is south of Wilshire Blvd). I couldn't be happier with my experience and I look forward to my sessions with Pamela each week. She goes above and beyond - its hard to find people who give so much to what they do everyday. I am confident others feel the same! more

Pamela is an amazing instructor. She is highly knowledgable about pilates and the body and has a keen eye for detail. She has helped me improve my core strength, get more in touch with body and made me feel better about myself overall. There are no pretenses with her. She genuine person who is highly motivational and when you finish a session you always feel physically and emotional invigorated. more

Pilates Westwood is a gem. Owner / instructor Julie is not only kind & caring but truly a master at her craft. She holds 3 pilates certifications and is constantly involved in continuing her professional growth as an instructor. She is a supportive teacher who helps her students improve, without risking injury. I am grateful to her! more

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!!! more

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! more

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 more

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 more

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 more

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! more

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 more

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! Pros: large space, wonderful teachers and equipment more

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 more
