Pilates Plus – Studio City

Lisa is my girl, she is the best! Every one of her classes is different and truly gives you a FULL body workout! She is super attentive and always makes sure to modify for anyone who has an injury or if they are new. She always gives you little ways to make things more challenging and is always trying to help you improve your form and strength. Love her!

I attended my first class here via class pass back in October 2015 thinking it’s Pilates (which I’ve done before), it’ll be a nice stretch.
Uh…this ain’t yo mama’s Pilates. This is a Lagree studio, something I wasn’t familiar with at the time, but I’ve learned just what that means since. I thought about crying at the end of my first class. After looking at the bods on some of the regulars in the room, I figured this is something I should stick with if I wanted even half of what they’ve got. This is an intense workout that will make you stronger if you stick with it and go at least 2 – 3 x/​week. Lisa G, Beth B and Ashley M are my favorite instructors. Lisa G motivated me in our talks after class to make this a lifestyle.
Be prepared to sweat, cry, fart (no, don’t do that), and see your body change. Do it!

I’ve been to Pilates Plus Megaburn 55 classes twice now and have really enjoyed myself. Having never done Lagree Method and really only ever been on a reformer a few times in life, I felt this class to be challenging (which I love! What’s a workout, if it’s not a challenge?), yet rewarding and easy to follow without frustration. It’s not the type of challenging where you can’t follow or keep up and feel you’ve wasted your time sitting around not being able to workout which I can’t stand.
As a new client here, one may think they will not be able to follow along but there are always people in class who aren’t beginners that you can glance up at to catch on. Take breaks when needed and get right back in it.
Both instructors have been friendly, and encouraging — walking the room to make minor corrections which is something I can really appreciate. Allowing someone to do something the incorrect way can only lead to one thing, injuries! Which is the LAST thing I need.
This is the type of workout that has me checking the clock — I love these types because I know I’m checking to see how the hell much longer I’ve got to endure and push through. I love a workout that breezes by, but those where I need to check the time I know REALLY have me working in ways I may not be use to. I definitely would choose the 55 over the other lesser times because I want all the time I can get in here. The oblique work really stands out to me here.
I’ve booked classes via Classpass but this may be an option for me to consider adding to my on going workout routine. I walk here from home, so parking isn’t an issue. I bring my grippe socks, water bottle and towel. I’m usually sweating within the first 5−10minutes of class and walk home feeling accomplished I’ve been able to do something new and different for my body, to help improve my overall athletic performance by strengthening muscles I may not have otherwise been targeting in my other workout routines.
I’d recommend checking the place out, regardless of your athletic ability as I’m a firm believer that everyone is capable of doing just about anything, and you can always work with your instructor for modifications if needed.

Guys, this is an incredible workout. I totally reccommend it for anyone looking to mentally and physically challenge themselves. MY ONLY COMPLAINT is with the instructor I took. I don’t expect to be babied during my workout but I think a new student deserves just a little bit more direction and guidance. I mean there are only 10 students in the class. I took the class with Lisa G. Just, pay attention to your new students. It seems like this is a reoccuring issue with this studio, reading the comments below. It is pretty difficult for someone who is new to the class and it would be a more positive experience if the instructors didn’t act so annoyed and «over it» so to speak.

I’ve been coming here once a week for a few months now thanks to my Classpass membership. I absolutely love this studio! If I lived closer to Studio City I would purchase a class package through them. I especially love that they offer 40, 50 and 55 minute classes so on days you’re not feeling it, take the shorter class and on days when youre ready to sweat go for the longer one. Ky is insanely badass and taught the hardest class of my life. I thought I was dying but in the best way possible… take from him if you like a challenge! Beth, Paola and Lisa all have great classes too.
Clean studio. Good location. Great atmosphere. I definitely say give it a try!

So i was looking for a Pilates place and friend of mine recommend Pilates plus in studio city so I gave it a shot and let me tell ya the crew was so helpful and knowledgeable and every step the place was clean always smelled good and the people training there r so beautiful.:) would recommend every time.

I took a Megaburn 55 class last week and did not enjoy my experience at all. The instructor (Beth, I think) seemed almost annoyed when my boyfriend and I showed up and said we’d never done Lagree Method before. She basically told us that there is little to no instruction and that the class moves very fast and that we would need to just watch other people in the class. Sure enough, she provided very little direction. The class was super hard and challenging which was good but most of the time, I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. And by the way, I workout 5 – 6 times a week and have been doing Pilates on a reformer for a few months so it’s not like I’m a total amateur or anything. There was no time allotted at the end of class to stretch or cool down. And after a working out THAT hard, seems like stretching would be a critical part of the class. Weird and unlike any other workout studio I’ve been to.
Once the class was over and as we were toweling off and putting our shoes on, the instructor started shutting off the lights and closing down the studio. Lik, within a couple of min of class ending. She seemed incredibly disinterested in us coming back. Just shut the place down, couldn’t even wait for us to leave. Well, it worked cuz I won’t be back. I’d much rather go down the street to Wundabar where they actually want to instruct you and make sure you feel comfortable!

I love this place. I only come to the traditional reformer classes but they also have TRX classes if you’re into that. On the reformer Beth will guide you through the most amazing workouts, just don’t expect any mercy. Right when you thing she’s going to count you out of a position she’ll add something that challenges you even further. It makes me want to cuss her out, but then I just do as I am told and thank her at the end. She really knows what she’s doing because I have noticed how much stronger I’ve gotten from her classes. If you do everything she says you WILL be shaking and sweating by the end of the session and you may wobble out to your car. I know i do. and If you come to class with me you may spot me giving her a dirty look when she throws out those added challenges but don’t get me wrong, I LOVE every minute of it. Try it, you won’t regret it.
I seek out the 55 minute sessions over the 40 min. if I have the added time in my day since the transitions are so much faster in the shorter classes.
I also try and come dressed and ready since they only have one small bathroom (no changing room) that always seems occupied when I come straight from work.

Didn’t care for this place. I love Pilates and this was one of the worst places I’ve ever been. the teacher was very cold and didn’t actually show the moves but just shouted the whole time and expected everyone to know what they were doing. no focus on form or how to execute a move correctly and safely which is key in Pilates or else what’s the point? Too focused on doing all the moves fast, everyone was confused and it didn’t feel like I actually got a workout

Love love love this Pilates studio! I’ve tried many Pilates classes and this studio by far is an intense. workout! I’ve had Lacey as my instructor, she was energetic and very helpful! I’ve also had Lisa, she was very helpful but not as energetic, not sure if it was because it was an early class but she just didn’t seem happy. Other than that this place is amazing!

Great pilates studio! Very intimate which I enjoy because the instructor can really pay attention to every student. I took the megabody strength and conditioning class with Brad and WOW. I definitely wasn’t ready for what that class entailed. I worked muscles I didn’t even know existed! Only con is their lack of space. It was a very intimate setting with no showers and a tiny restroom. Everything was very clean and nice though! I’ll without a doubt be back!

Truly enjoyed this studio. My first time was today & I took Megabody Strength & Conditioning with Brad which was great! Definitely a bit more advanced Pilates class, but Brad was very easy to follow so newcomers wouldn’t be too lost in this class either. Good music, challenging exercises & the class flew by. I would definitely recommend trying this place out if you love Pilates and want to mix in the benefits of TRX and strength training.

Paola the instructor is so good! She corrects your posture, demonstrate the moves and letting us know what muscle groups should be working. Pilates Plus is no joke! I remembered the first class I took, I thought it was easy peazy because of the resistance but boy was I wrong. The small movements working the smaller muscle groups made me sweat harsh within the first five minutes. The class is so intense there is no room for rest and exhausting your muscle to burn the most calories in fifty five minutes.
I enjoy the small group classes as well as the lighting in the studio. It’s clean but I wish the back wall all has mirrors like the front so I could watch my posture when doing moves facing the back wall. The mirrors allow me to correct myself when I’m doing it wrong and be able to follow others in case I drift off another direction.
FYI, must bring grip socks otherwise you’ll be sliding above ground. Oh and you are definitely sweating up a storm in here so I highly recommend bringing in a sweat towel or wear a sweat band. Other than that, burn baby burn!

I came here using Classpass and took a class with Lacey. This was only my second Pilates class on a reformer and she was super nice /​patient and corrected my form when necessary. I was also running a little late and made it to class right when it should have started instead of a little bit early and she was really kind about that as well. I left the class feeling completely wiped out and super satisfied — 2 days later I’m still a bit sore. I will definitely be returning here :)

Where to even begin about my love for this place.
My roommate got me hooked onto Pilates Plus in Malibu. For the longest time I avoided going because I’d never done traditional Pilates, wasn’t in the best shape, didn’t want to wake up early, classes fill up fast…
Doesn’t matter. The minute I stepped into the studio, I was hooked immediately. Seven months later, I’m never looking back.
I suppose some traditional pilates knowledge might be helpful, but this is on a whole new level. I drip sweat after every session (and that’s after going months in a row, several days a week), and even after all this time my body hasn’t gotten used to the workout. Yes, I don’t get sore every day like I used to (those first few sessions were killer), but my body continues to grow, I’ve leaned out, and gotten WAY stronger than I’ve ever been before. They continually mix it up and keep you guessing, which I love.
It’s the only workout I’ve ever woken up early for, been excited to go, and left feeling strong, exhausted, and so proud of myself. The trainers are incredible, as well; I’ve yet to find one I didn’t like, although I have to give a special mention to Lisa G., Brittany and Lacey for kicking my booty during the week, and Beth and Ashley on the weekends — but you can’t go wrong with any trainer. Their classes are fast-​paced, they know so much about the Lagree method, and they really want to help you do your best.
It’s awesome. Go here. Don’t be intimidated. Best workout I’ve ever had.

The workouts are fantastic. I consider myself athletic but no longer a gym goer! I’m an avid marathon runner, cycle plenty & for core/​strength training I do Pilates. Not the traditional kind I call «Stretchy Pilates» on those old-​school looking wooden machines that you go to for physical therapy, or rehab or spine lengthening! This is the mega-​reformer kind that burns your body fat during & after the workout & makes you strong from the inside out. Who doesn’t want that?! It’s the kind where slow movement is best and form is everything to get maximum results.
Wanna look AND feel good? Go here. I love a good challenge and this place offers a balance between all my workouts and I don’t feel like I’m wasting time! I work long hours and the 40-​min class is great — you are in and out and I’ve run 2 – 6 miles afterwards in my neighborhood to push myself and build endurance.
The studio is comfortable, teachers pay attention to you & your form and music is great. All core ingredients to a cool studio. I only wish more classes were offered! I tried a week pass and will try to go regularly, adding this to my weekly runs and classes (cycle house, pulse fitness, pilates platinum & outdoor running/​hiking). If you’re in the SF area I recommend trying out a class or series. It’s worth it. I feel great and it’s awesome to feel stronger!!!

Amazing workout! I have done all kinds of workouts and this studio is amazing! It is challenging and a great way to get an effective workout! Most of the instructors are really good. It is a little expensive but on my opinion, it is worth it!!!

Great place! I work out regularly and thought there was nothing that can make my muscles work more than they normally do. The next day my legs and core were aching! Finally i found something new that works my body and makes me want to come back for more. Thank you guys!

Holy cow, they do not mess around here at Pilates Plus! I’d only ever done pilates at Wundabar (which I love) but I would never break in to a sweat. At PP, I was dripping at the end of every class. The classes are tough and I don’t recommend coming here if you’re not already in some shape or used to pilates. The classes go at a quick pace and they can almost be overwhelming. But the flip side of that is you will get results. I only ever took classes from Lacey and she rocked! Her peppy, positive attitude will keep you going and keep you from hating her for all the evil things she’s doing to you. The space itself is nice enough but parking is a big pain, definitely budget time to look for parking since classes start right on time. Oh, and don’t forget to bring socks; you can’t do the class without them and they don’t keep spare pairs to borrow.

I’ve been coming here for over a year now. My first couple of months, i had no idea what i was doing and felt so weak. I would go home really sore. After a while, you start to see your body changing and getting stronger. My abs are more defined and the moves get easier to do. I recommend this place to everyone. Don’t feel discouraged at first, you work out parts of you body that it never uses. It really is the best work out if you stick through it.
Beth is amazing and will kick your butt, you’ll see results fast. Paola is also amazing. She’s really sweet and patient.
