Iβve been going to Archer Pilates for almost 2 years now! My schedule fluctuates so the instructors I see truly varies depending on my day.
I honestly love all of the instructors!
I believe Lulu is the newest and I really enjoy her class!! So glad they have her on the team.
Ever since I started coming here my knee and scoliosis pain has diminished. LOVE this place.

A pilates studio that remembers your name - Melanie Archer and her team are educated, professional and conscious teachers. From custom private sessions, tailored to heal and strengthen, to advanced classes that will leave you feeling strong and beautiful, this studio offers the personalization missing from the big conglomerate studios. They have my highest recommendation. One class or private session is all it takes to demonstrate the difference between boutique and factory. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

UPDATE 2024: Still a loyal customer after many years! All of the instructors (the new ones and the ones who have been there a while) are really thoughtful and attentive. Love the new location!
I've been going to Archer for over a year and a half and I couldn't love it more. The classes are challenging and enable me to use muscles I've never used before (despite years of dance and other exercise). All of the teachers are knowledgeable and caring. It's such a nice, welcoming atmosphere.
UPDATE: I have now been at Archer for over two years and I couldn't be happier. It's a pretty remarkable thing to never get bored with an exercise class!
UPDATE 2024: Iβve been a three times a week customer for several years and I keep coming back. All of the instructors are fabulous. All levels are welcome.

I used to go to a studio in Mar Vista and I wanted something closer.
I started coming to Archer Pilates in their previous locations during Covid. I've been doing Pilates (1-3 days a week) for almost 20 years now. I've probably been to over 10 studios during that time.
Once I started coming to Archer Pilates, I can honestly say they have the best instructors I've ever had.
I am now a regular of theirs since 2020 I think and I attend 4-5 classes per week!!! Their pricing is extremely valuable for the quality of their classes, patience and kindness of the instructors and their gorgeous new studio!
Melanie the owner is amazing. Kat has a special place in my heart. Ashley is a rockstar. Jen is incredible.
If you haven't done Pilates before, this is a great studio to go to. Many of the "trendy" studios seem great but they don't focus on you making sure your form is right. If your form isn't right, trust me, you can really hurt yourself. This studio really cares about each person that walks thru their door.

Archer Pilates is my favorite reformer studio on the west side of LA. Their instructors are friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging. The studio has a great vibe and community feel. I highly recommend taking classes there!

I have gone to several Pilates Studios, and Archer, by far, is one of the best. I have enjoyed the personal training and the group sessions as well. And, with the group sessions, that are small and manageable, the trainer can still provide short personalized instructions to the attendees without interrupting the flow of the class. The studio is proving Covid-19 safe protocols, so you can feel safe throughout your visit. Here, here to Pilates at Archer!

My previous pilates class was in January 2020. I scheduled a private lesson today to make sure I hadn't lost my form. The class was great. Kat helped me tweak the little things that are specific to me that may not be noticeable to the instructor in a group class. I am now ready to jump back into group classes with great form. Thank you Archer Pilates!!!

I have slight scoliosis and about a month ago hurt my back, so I looked into something to help me with that and found this place, a place that understands how to work with scoliosis. I am taking private lessons with Cat and Jennifer and they are both EXCELLENT instructors. The 2 of them helping me strengthen my body has resulted in me having less back pain. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

I have been doing Pilates for 15 years, 10 at Archers and 5 years at 3 other studios. Need I say more, Archers is my home. Melanie, Jennifer and Kat are the best instructors I have ever had. Not only are they personable knowing each student's personality, needs and tolerance, they know anatomy, kinesiology and body and mind connection. In the last 6 years I have had 2 total hip replacements. After my surgeries and the initial rehab with the physical therapists, my surgeon told me to go back to Pilates to continue my therapy. I always feel better after every session. Not only for my physical fitness do I need Pilates, but for my mental, emotional well being. During the pandemic there was such a void not being able to be in the studio with its positive vibe, good Juju and excellent outcomes. Now i am back home! Yvonne S.

I love this Pilates studio!! I've been taking classes and private sessions for a year now and can always see a difference in my tone when I come on a consistent basis. The instructors, especially Melanie, are understanding, patient and willing to adjust your work-out to address any injuries or special needs. I checked out a few other Pilates studios before coming here, and they were either way over-priced, or had a "store front" appearance. This studio is professional and very reasonably priced for the high quality of service.

Archer Pilates is great. I have been going there off and on - mostly on - since 2009. Instructors are friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and careful. They have kept it going virtually, and at a very reasonable price (I don't know how) all through the pandemic. What a godsend. Thanks so much!

I have been a student of Pilates for 20 years and a client at Archer Pilates and Wellness for 5 years. Pilates at the Archer Studio is the foundation of my weekly workout schedule. I thoroughly enjoy my workouts there: the studio is very comfortable and the staff exceedingly knowledgeable, professional, and creative. Each session is enjoyable, comprehensive, and challenging. I have developed endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility and am in the best physical shape ever!

I am a long-time loyal client of Archer Pilates. I didn't start doing pilates until I was 50 - fast forward and now I'm in my early 60's. I attend classes three times a week and I am in better shape then I was in my younger years! All of the instructors at Archer Pilates are very knowledgable and well trained. There are classes everyday - morning through evening. They offer a wide variety of classes for all levels with several different affordable plan options. Pilates is definitely an all-over body workout - try it your body will love it and you'll definitely see results!

Archer Pilates is the best studio on the westside. I have been going here consistently for eight years. I started Pilates to help with my back pain and it was the cure for me. If I don't go for a few weeks, I start to feel it in my back. I have taken pilates classes at a few other places, but Archer is still my favorite. The instructors are all top notch. They know your level and will adjust their classes based upon who is taking them. Melanie is a master Pilates instructor teacher so nearly all of the instructors have been trained by her (and most of them were students first which speaks volumes). The studio is small and therefore it feels intimate. Additionally, they have periodic fitness challenges which makes it fun and incentivizes me to attend even when I'm busy! Definitely give Archer a try. You won't regret it!

Archer Pilates is a wonderful experience in well-being! With fun, innovative classes and top notch private sessions this is a fantastic pathway to feeling great.
I especially appreciate Instructor Patti Kreinerβs skill and expertise. She is a master trainer for Balanced Body Inc.(one of the top selling pilates equipment and education companies in the world), a Master Trainer for MOTR, an Anatomy in 3D instructor who regularly attends seminars, workshops and conferences specializing in world class education about cutting edge body mechanics, findings and optimal movement practices. She is warm and caring with a great sense of humor and an incredible sense of bodies and people. Patti provides engaging, thoughtful, creative ways to build strength, increase mobility, challenge balance and I consistently leave her sessions feeling good throughout my whole body.
I highly recommend Archer Pilates and Patti Kreiner for a truly exceptional exercise experience!

I have had many pilates instructors. Michelle is clearly one of the very best. She puts everything, and I mean everything, into her teaching. She is passionate, cares about her students, is concerned with making every one of her classes a good experience and different from every other class. I can't recommend her strongly enough. She is fabulous.

Do not book classes at this place! I have purchased a 10 class package and prepaid all classes upfront. When I got sick with a stomach virus, I had to cancel class on less than 24 hour notice. Instead of refunding my money they charged an extra $15 no show fee, even though my seat had been paid in full already. When I called to clarify that I was on a prepaid package deal, not a monthly subscription, the owner, Melanie, said they could have sold my seat again on a waitlist. First of all there was no waitlist as there were still open seats for this class available, where people could have booked if they wanted to. Second, the argument that there could be a waitlist is of no merit in this case, because the seat has already been paid in full. This is an illegal policy. It is just like airlines overbooking flights. Only that you get charged even twice here. I got charged, like I was coming to class and once more for not coming to class. If you buy tickets for a concert and you cannot make it, bummer ... you loose your value, but then imagine you get charged again more than the original ticket price for not showing up !?! Or you book a flight and miss it, you are not only loosing your seat to a standby, on top of that you get charged the flight cost a second time ?!?! Don't go there, so many other options that have reasonable cancellation policies and no rude owners that hang up the phone on you, when you try to explain.

I had not exercised for some time and was unsure whether I would be able to keep up with the younger crowd. Per Melanies suggestion, I had a private lesson before I did the classes. Best decision I made. I have been going to the classes for about 8 months and feel the difference. I feel stronger and can see definition. I didnt believe it would work for me, but I couldnt be happier

Of all the pilates studios I have been to, I love Archer the most. It is a super calm, relaxed atmosphere as opposed to some which can feel as though you are being herded in and out. If it was located closer to my home I would go for ALL the classes they offer. It's clean and bright and the bodywork is excellent!

I love the Therapeutic Reformer Class. I had back surgery several years ago and don't want to ever do that again. I want to be sure that any exercise I do contributes to my overall back health. I am comfortable with the instructors and that they know what my limitations are and when to push. I love the way I feel right after this class and for days after.

This place is wonderful.
Classes are small and instructors are intuitive and very encouraging. They seem to really care about you and love what they do. The owner Melanie is fantastic in finding solutions that target what you want accomplish. If you have never tried Reformer Pilates you MUST try it at this place. It will change your life! I would highly recommend Archer Pilates to anyone.

Great and affordable place to do Reformer pilates! I purchased a package from groupon and couldn't have been happier with the experience. I work down the street so the location is perfect, lots of parking, and a lot of different times and types of classes to choose from.

Archer Pilates is a great local spot for a good work out. I really appreciate how they took the time to explain the moves and breathing techniques. I feel like I learned a lot from them. The instructors and people that work out there are all very friendly.

I was in town for a long weekend and decided to visit this studio. I have had the opportunity to practice yoga and train in Pilates in many studios throughout the country and overwhelmingly recommend Archer Pilates & Wellness to anyone looking for a studio that focuses on the student and not the studios own ego or attitude. Peace, tranquility, and supportive environment Truly wonderful.

I live in OC, but went with a friend one Friday to the Ladies Night Pole Party and had a blast! I had always wanted to take a pole class and this was a great way to get started. I am now totally hookedβ¦absolutely LOVED it!
I had never heard of Archer prior to the night out with my friend so I didnβt realize it was a Pilates studio until after the fact. I had done mat Pilates before, but had never taken a reformer class, so a few weeks later I went back for one of those, and again β AWESOME!
Iβm a part-time personal trainer and I love fitness so I spend a lot of time in the gym, but it was great to get out of my routine and learn new things. Both times I left the studio feeling revived with just an overall happy good mood going on. Definitely recommend.

I love the clean, cool energy of this studio and all of the different class offerings.
Usually I'm deterred by a place that has one specific fitness specialty in the title (a.k.a pilates) but this studio has Zumba, Pilates, even Pole Dancing! I haven't been brave enough to try that yet, but was there as women were leaving the class with huge smiles on their faces.
I found the instructors to be helpful and fun. When I informed one of my past back injury, she told me about their chiropractic care and physical therapy options. And they work with insurance...BLISS!
