Studio East West Pilates

This is a really terrific Pilates Studio! Andre is super knowledgeable and up on all the latest techniques. I’ve been taking lessons here for fourteen years.

Terrible customer service. They NEVER answer or return any of my calls or email. Wanted to know if they’d be open during the holidays.

I signed up a week in advance for a class today at 11am for East West Pilates at 601 S B Street San Mateo, CA. It’s currently 11:07am and I’m not in class. I rushed to the studio, paid for parking and arrived early but the studio said they were full. I said I had signed up in advance and had not gotten any advance notice about class being cancelled. They basically turned me away because they got Enough full-​price students.
This is extremely poor business practice since not only did I drive and pay to come here, I’m unable to workout.
If the studio does not plan on honoring students who sign up through different means, they shouldn’t list themselves on those sources.
I would recommend not paying in advance and calling prior to showing up if you still plan on coming. There are so many terrific workout studios in downtown San Mateo alone. I would highly suggest going elsewhere.

A complete Pilates, Gyrotonic, TRX, barrel, stairs, reformer, cadillac, mat, and weights experience. A fun, music filled personalized workout and it is not intimidating. Personal training, or group etc. it allows a chore to become a sought after habit. Even parking is simple.

I wish I could give Andre 10 stars! After one lesson I was hooked and I have been an extremely satisfied client for over 7 years. Andre has the unique ability to make a workout fun and the clients wanting more. He is warm and welcoming and his workouts lead to increased fitness, balance and flexibility. Andre draws from a wide range of exercise methods including Pilates, Gyrotonic, Free Weights, Barre Fitness and TRX and he is able to customize a workout for the individual, whether you are a beginner or a serious athlete. Can’t wait for my next workout!

Andre integrates both Pilates and Gyrotonic into the routines for me. From his experience as a ballet dancer he has helped me work through various injuries to keep up my workouts. Without Andre I would have stopped exercising until the injury was gone. And maybe stopped working out all together.

Andre Levitt works with his clients to provide a whole body workout and sculpting experience. His experience in ballet is translated into the workouts he develops for his clients and helps them achieve their goals.
The studio offers TRX, the chair, the Cadillac as well as Pilate Reformers. There is something for everyone!

My mom has suffered from back problems for years, was considering surgery until Andre! She goes to him once a week (I go when I have time, wish it was more) and it has made the world of difference in her body and life! She is no longer in constant pain, and is really strong now! He is a wonderful teacher and a joy to be around! Would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone! Thanks Andre :)

Andre is the best Pilates instructor on the Peninsula. The studio has a gyrotonic machine which helped me with a serious problem of recovering from a frozen shoulder.
His technical know how targets specific parts of your body and he knows what he’s doing! Amazing !

still loving it. I also wanted to say how much I enjoy the Gyrotonic work. In addition to great teaching (Andre, you really are the best), the Gyrotonic machine is wonderful for a total, 360 degree workout. Pilates can get really linear, but not when you combine with Gyro — it’s so freeing!

Andre and Olivia are masterful! Both are lovely people who are in touch with each client’s needs. I’ve never had such service; attention to the details that pilates demands. The most knowledgeable people I have ever found. Reasonably priced and completely reliable! You couldn’t do better than this anywhere!

Andre is the best. He has this internal stop watch that gives him the ability to keep count of the number of reps you and another person are doing. Simultaneously. Which means that you can’t cheat – when he says 15, he’ll come back to you at that precise moment and ask, «You’re just about finished with 15, right?» He is very professional when he explained the Gyrotronics and other reformers to me and I retorted with, «Can I start with something easier, like the Craftmatic Adjustable Bed?» Dude didn’t even bat an eyelash. At the top of the hour, I was doing little stretches and lunges and wondering how come I hadn’t even dropped a bead of sweat. By the end, my tongue was hanging out like a Siberian Husky, post Iditarod. Alas I have decided that I am much too old for Pilates. My thighs, hamstring and glutes agree. But if I were to change my mind, Studio East West has my business.

I have had the pleasure of working with both Andre and Olivia. I appreciate their expertise in Pilates as well as body movement and rehabilitation. I really love how the studio is very spacious compared to other local studios. The equipment is top notch with not just reformers but Cadillac and Gyrotonics system as well.
I really enjoyed the Pilates sessions when I signed up for a series of «shared private» sessions with my friend. This was great as it was two of us getting private attention and guidance but we saved quite a bit by splitting the private fee. Overall I enjoyed my experience very much and hope to sign up for another series soon.

I have been taking pilates with Andre for over 10 years. He is above and beyond. He will always push you the extra movement, take classes to come up with new and different varied exercises and stay the extra time if the ext client is not there. I think he is great and would highly recommend him.

The service was terrible!
