Club Pilates Manhattan Beach

I went to Club Pilates after purchasing a Living Social voucher. I loved it. The studio is super clean and roomy. The instructor I had made modifications for my injury and spent time adjusting everyone’s position as we worked out. The set up is different than any other studio I’ve been to.
I will admit that most times, I look at the clock once or twice during my workout, but here– the instructor said «you’re done» before I even glanced towards the clock.
Give it a try. Especially with the current deal they’ve got. Totally worth it.

Ok so I love love Adam, amazing fun teacher even when being tough Adam has a way of making one laugh! Ellina is also great!!! Love the room has a/​c

i’ve tried lots of studios in the Southbay what I like about this one it’s it’s as good as a teacher of course but equipment is great, the classes are well priced, I can schedule last minute if I need to, and so far I have not been disappointed in any of the teachers. I will continue to use Club Pilates as my after hours, after work «go to» when I need to schedule a class for a good price and get a good workout in before I go home! I really like how the teachers correct you during the class and don’t ignore you — that is so important and I’m sure they are well trained to do so.

I’ve taken pilates at various places, and I have to say, this studio is one of my favorites.
Why I gave it 5 stars:
1. Clean and new! Chris, who I think is the owner, is super meticulous about cleanliness, keeping things in order, and I like that. First time I saw her organize the weights, I knew I was at the right studio.
2. Diverse apparatus. Not only the reformer, but springboard, jumping board, chair, ball, and weights are utilized.
3. The level of workout was just right for me, not too crazy but definitely breaking a good sweat and targeting underused muscles.
4. Nice instructors. I had Chris as the instructor most of the time, only because her classes worked with my schedule the best. Couple of other instructors were also good. Individual attention when appropriate.
5. Affordable packages. I like that they have unlimited monthly, 12 times/​month monthly, 8 times/​month monthly, as well as buying pre-​set classes. In other words, you can find what works for you, and it is pretty affordable as far as pilates go.
6. Parking available in a lot shared with other businesses.
7. Classes are never too full that it’s hard to reserve a space.
You can cancel your monthly autopay at anytime, and although I didn’t do it correctly (I waited until the new month started, my mistake), it wasn’t a problem when I emailed the studio.
I’d recommend this place if you want to give pilates a try. I am sure I’ll be going back and making this place my go-​to place for workouts. Recommend for a nice bum!

I love Club Pilates in MB. The studio is always clean, the workouts challenging. I miss Nataly and Cat but I’m enjoying Adam’s classes. I recommend his classes — He’s great!

I wish I had written a review after this studio opened. I went on a Groupon because it was a great price. The operating hours are convenient. The studio is very clean, bright, and the equipment is amazing. In the beginning I was taking classes with Cat. She was very knowledgeable about how your body moves and would make sure you were doing the exercise correctly. I was very comfortable with her. Unfortunately, one day Cat was gone. When I asked where she was and if she was coming back, I was blown off. That was were it started to go down hill. The replacement instructors seemed to take it really easy, the class was no longer challenging. I gave it another shot when I received a Groupon as a gift. I was hoping after some time, there would be another great instructor, didn’t happen. It seems like there is a high turnover of instructors. Once you’ve gone from a great instructor to so-​so, it’s very disappointing. No more chances for Club Pilates!

First time going to a class with reformer. I’ve been a mat pilates person all along. I found a pass on Living Social and bought the certificate.
The instructor, Chris, was really accommodating and welcoming for my first visit. I wasn’t sure what class to try first so I went for the 1.5 level since I’ve taken pilates before… she was really helpful and helped me extra on my first class. At the end, I asked for her opinion on if I should stay in 1.5 or go down to 1. She had good feedback and as it turns out mat pilates is helpful since the instructions are similiar — so stay in 1.5.
It’s easy to sign up online and cancel as needed if there’s a conflict. I’m trying to show up more often during weekday lunch since there’s the 1.5 class and it’s less crowded.

I definitely know a good pilates reformer studio when I see one, having gone to a half dozen over the past few years. On my first visit to Club Pilates MB I was truly impressed. I never thought I would find one as good as my favorite place in San Diego, from where I just relocated, but wow, this studio is SOLID.
My first class was the Thursday night reformer cardio pilates class with instructor Claire. Not only was it on par with the best cardio class at my favorite reformer pilates studio in San Diego but I loved that the 50-​minute class, which had 25 minutes of jumping on a jumpboard to get your heart rate up and pumping, even incorporated the EXO chair, long/​shortbox, and springboard (against the wall). It was a robust cardio workout incorporating the best pilates moves on the reformer.
I next took the Pilates 1.5 class which was less sweaty than the cardio class but perfectly challenging in all the ways and reasons why I love doing reformer pilates — because it targets the right muscles, builds strength and tightens muscles to get that perfect womanly shape, and there’s no strain like when you’re doing pilates solely on a mat.
All the equipment is in like-​new shape and the studio is kept very clean and the instructors are attentive, correcting your form and speaking specifically so you can make the right adjustments during class. I hate other studios where they are vague with their instruction and don’t give you personal attention because reformer pilates has to be done right in order to be most effective.
There are about a dozen reformer machines, and it seems that the classes don’t fill up too fast so you can still get into a class same day or the day before.
It’s also helpful that there are classes as late as 6:30pm and 7:00pm because we all know it takes awhile to get home in L.A. traffic.
Love that there is a parking lot too!

Wow!!!
Friend of mine gave me a pass to your club. After taking one of the Saturday classes, I am absolutly in owe with the facility and stuff.
The girl who tought, Nataly was amazing, patient and obviously knew what she was doing.
The classroom was specious and clean (and yes, it smelled fresh too) and unlike most Manhattan Beach places, there was a free parking!!!
Great experiance, Nataly, you rocked and now, I HAVE to come back to take your class!!!
Thank you Club Pilates!

I took an amazing class with Nataly!
she was very professional, detail oriented and knowledgeable .
I would take classes with Nataly again. This was the best class ever.
thank you Nataly!!!

I am on a mission to find the right workout and studio/​gym for me. I came to try Club Pilates (Manhattan Beach) for a Month Unlimited deal I found on Groupon.

The STUDIO: Modern, very clean, new, latest and greatest equipment like the Pilates Reformer, Exo-​Chair, Springboard, a Ballet Bar, Magic Circle, Ball, variety of weights and wall springs. It was great that the class sizes were small and I was never wait-​listed like many other Pilates studios I’ve tried. But it is a good size studio with a lot of natural light, ample room and aesthetically pleasing.
The INSTRUCTORS/​CLASSES: All instructors were nice and friendly. I was able to experience different styles/​technique/​workout from four different instructors — Ellina, McKenna and Chris (who I believe is the owner). I did traditional Pilates, called reformer plus from Ellina, McKenna and Chris. I took Cardio Sculpt and CP F.I.T. (jump board classes) from Nataly which was more difficult and on the challenging side for me. Nataly and Ellina were definitely more difficult and really pushed you. McKenna and Chris were my favs as they were really patient and helped with form and technique to ensure you were doing the move correctly and felt it. There weren’t many jump board classes offered (at least during the times I needed it since I work full time which I would have liked to taken more of).

PRICES: For Pilates (which is the most expensive workout/​exercise I have experienced to date), Club Pilates pricing was pretty affordable and inexpensive. I would have to say my only gripe was that I was charged $ 8.00 each time I wanted to take a class called «CP Happy Hour,» which I honestly didn’t see was really any different or extra than any other of the classes offered. To be honest, I thought with an $ 8.00 charge and it being called ‘Happy Hour,’ a glass of wine was involved. Because that particular class fit into the time slot I needed to fill and I only had a month to use my membership, I purchased it and didn’t question why this particular class was outside of the monthly package deal.

PARKING: There is a private lot it shares with a drycleaner, a small gym a sushi restaurant and another business I cannot recall. Spaces fill up during the evening hours between 4:30 — 6:30pm. There is street parking that is tight and gets taken up during the rush hour as well. This is one of the reasons why I preferred to take morning classes.

I’ve taken Pilates from just about every studio in the South Bay. This one thus far is my favorite…
I love that there are different levels you can take as well as different classes that focus on different parts of the body. True, some instructors are harder than the next but you’ll find that at just about any studio you go to. You have to go enough and take from a few different instructors to see who you like best. For me, Nataly is amazing and kicks my @ss everytime!
This studio is super clean, has a great location, and always smells fresh when you walk in. The people that go here are very friend. I would recommend this studio to anyone (and I have.)

I’ve always wanted to take Pilates but never found the right place in terms of convenience, price, reputation and feeling like I could finally make the commitment and dedicated time towards attending classes. That changed when I recently found Club Pilates in Manhattan Beach. It was an Amazon special that first caught my eye, offering 5 classes for $ 39 (regular $ 90). There are monthly options for unlimited classes but I thought the 5-​class deal would be a good start. Club Pilates in MB is conveniently located on Sepulveda Blvd, has ample parking and is brand spanking new. When you walk in, you see all new Pilates reformers and the studio is immaculate and sparkling clean. The instructors are terrific. I started with the Reformer Plus 1 class with McKenna who was great and perfect for my first experience with Pilates. I then returned for Reformer Plus 1.5 taught by Nataly who was outstanding and motivated the class through toning exercises that were quite challenging. I’m excited about how much I love Club Pilates MB and have told many friends to consider coming here. It is the perfect compliment to my gym workouts and I’m planning to join the month program when my 5-​class deal is over.

This studio is truly special. I come early in the mornings for the level 1 classes when the sun starts to fill the room. It’s a very beautiful way to start off your day.
Cat and Chris are both lovely instructors, they are so attentive to their clients and are passionate about health and fitness. I highly recommend this studio if you’re interested in an alternative to the big box gyms. Club Pilates is a wonderful boutique exercise experience!

Love love love love love this pilates studio! I was so sad to leave San Diego partly because I loved going to this pilates studio. I am so happy that it is in Manhattan Beach and it lives up to its San Diego studio standards! The owner was extremely welcoming and the studio is beautiful. Most importantly, the workout is fantastic!

Visited this Club Pilates location for the 1^st time today, and it is so clean and all the equipment was shiny and new. Chris is wonderful! Love it here! Can’t wait to come back!

This place is just okay to me.
The pros are:
1. Brand new studio, so equipment is all nice and new
2. Small class sizes because it hasn’t really hit capacity yet
3. Super nice instructors
4. Have jump-​boards, but jump classes are really hard to find outside of the middle of the day during the week, so this is pro and a con really
5. Have barre classes
6. Have the studio chairs, which if you haven’t tried, before, burn so good
7. Affordable as pilates studios go
Cons:
1. I just didn’t fell challenged, I had been out of pilates shape for a few months so I should have been getting my butt kicked a lot more
2. Can’t really hear the music, which I like to get me in the groove
2. The sun was pouring in over the summer time, making it super hot and the little window A/​C unit, only cools the first couple beds next to it
If you’re looking for a less challenging studio though, this may be the place for you, there are a lot of pros looking at my list :)

I love this place. Great instructors, good options in terms of levels. Workouts are tough but accessible.

I love this place. I have been to many of the local studios in MB and HB and this is my favorite so far for a few reasons.
The studio is lovely and clean and the equipment is amazing. The springs are not too tight and they have all kinds of equipment (like an exo chair, jumpboard, springboard on the wall, etc.) and the instructors are great about incorporating this other equipment into each workout. I have been going pretty regularly (3 – 4 times a week) for a month now and have gotten a great and different workout each time.
Another thing I like about this studio is that all of the instructors seem very well trained and, unlike other studios, the exercises seem safe and it seems like no one is likely to get hurt or to over-​exert herself or himself. Again, the springs are not too tight and the choice and duration of the exercises seem just right.
Finally, I am happy that toe sox are optional. (Glad to leave the tyranny of the toe sox behind.) Oh and I also love that I can still get into pretty much any class, as they are not yet filling up — though I suspect that will not be the case for long. Club Pilates, I am glad you are here!

My first time in and I had no idea what to expect as I’m a newbie at Pilates. I was impressed from the moment I walked in the door. The studio is so nice and clean, open and airy feeling. The instructor/​owner Chris, was so patient with me as I really am a clutz. The workout was so fun and I can’t wait for my next session!
