It’s frankly criminal they charge what they do when there are so many other studios in LA. The sound system is blown out and the volume is always turned up too loud to compensate, it hurts the ears and you can’t hear anything the instructors say.

The machines are too close together which means there are several moves you can’t do without hitting your neighbor.

The AC is frequently broken which means classes are effectively heated, which is dangerous combined with instructors with no care for correct form. I’ve been doing Lagree and Pilates for 8 years and cannot believe the lack of concern here for safety.

Instructor Janet was rude and intrusive. I have NEVER had any instructor at Motivate, Megaformer Studio, or any other Lagree studio act this way.

She was also repeatedly wrong about how to do certain forms. She reprimanded me repeatedly for doing modifications even though I clearly told her I was injured. Even loudly said on the intercom condescendingly “What is it, like a foot injury?” Uh… I literally have a spine condition. I am under the care of two spine surgeons. I’ve also done Lagree / Pilates and physical therapy for 10 years and absolutely know what I am doing. Any modification I made, she would come over and make a passive aggressive sarcastic comment: “Ok, that’s like…. Not it. Just…. Whatever.” Then she’d walk away, only to come back and squeeze my shoulder repeatedly to get me to…. Stop? I don’t know. Why are you touching me?

When I tried to explain more, she angrily said “Ok. I’ll talk to you after class”. ON THE MIC. Then visibly got frustrated and rolled her eyes and lost her place in the routine.

Then she attempted to reprimand me after class and I had to educate her on body mechanics. Turns out she was wrong, uneducated, invasive AND rude. Never again.

Oh. And she told me if I didn’t do obliques her way I wouldn’t have “the classic Solidcore body”. (I have a 6 pack btw.)

I arrived 5 minutes late because I couldn’t find parking. It was exactly 2:20 PM, and I wasn’t allowed in. The lady at the door, Ani, said if I hadn’t booked through a third party app (ClassPass), she could have helped me, but since I did, she couldn’t. It really feels like she treated me differently because of that. This was my first time at the place, and I’m very disappointed. Also, there’s no proper parking, so I wouldn’t recommend coming here.

I have been to this studio several times and to many others in the area. The workout is intense and great. However, the volume of the music is always so loud no matter who the instructor is. The machines are too close so no exercises openings arm or legs. That’s not the case in other studios.

My friend and I did a Full Body class for the first time. We never done Pilates before and I can’t say this class was easy, but our instructor Tensaye was amazing and really made the difference.
The class is pretty fast paced, but she was always around checking in, adjusting us and helping us transition from one exercise to the next. She’s amazing and we’ll definitely be going back.

My first pilates class ever and by mistake I went to a regular class (instead of beginner). It was amazing, I’m def coming back, the instructor was super sweet and helped me a lot.

Worst pilates class that I have ever done. The coach was impossible to understand, she was talking a million miles an hour, competing with the music. She had no control on the class or her instructions— It was pure chaos, definitely never going back.

My first time was 2 weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE this place so far. The workout and instructors are amazing and parking at the Ava apartment complex is validated. They just earned their newest member! ☺️🙌🏾

Jacob was absolutely amazing! The experience as a first timer was incredibly welcoming. Jacob was energetic, friendly, and took time to thoroughly explain the machine and workout prior to class. The class itself was a challenging workout, but Jacob still managed to make it fun!
