I highly recommend Dr Pilates. I have been taking classes for the last 8 months and it has completely changed my body. I feel so much stronger and flexible.

I feel at home every time I step through the door and each instructor is very knowledgable and welcoming. There is always a modification making the practice feel comfortable for me individually to move at my pace.

I returned to Dr. Pilates after taking a 2-year break. Prior to this, I attended Dr. Pilates for nearly 3 years since the beginning of COVID. The Pilates studio moved from the core of Larchmont to near Santa Monica Street, but you can still find an ample amount of street parking around the studio/Larchmont area.

Dr. Pilates offers a wide range of classes from 'beginner to advanced' for all levels. The prices are very reasonable in comparison to other studios, especially for the quality service you're receiving!

I highly recommend my OG instructors such as Aaron/Wes if you are just starting Pilates, and Lauren's stretch class if you want to relax and unwind from stress at the end of a long work day. :-)

i've never liked exercising but i stuck with pilates because of eeda. she is a really good teacher of course, but she's also so funny and keeps me laughing throughout class even when the workout is hard (which it usually is with her). i've loved pretty much every other instructor i've taken a class with here and the staff at the desk are all great too

I've been going to Dr. Pilates for almost 10 years. The experienced instructors, friendly staff and clean studio has been pretty consistent throughout these years. They have a variety of workouts and appreciate the various times for my busy schedule as a business owner. I like when the instructor focuses on making sure we are using proper techniques and correcting our positions to avoid injury. Recommend both beginners and advanced to try the classes. Aeda has been my favorite!!

If you forget to bring your socks, they always stock some awesome brands and merch too!

I absolutely love this studio! I always feel at home when I walk through the doors. It's the perfect 50-minute workout with amazing instructors who know exactly what they are talking about. The machines are great, and the studio is always clean and well-kept. I've experienced great results and feel much stronger than when I started attending classes. Special shoutout to my favorite instructors: Brynna, Emma, Elena, Jennifer, Paige and Tara.

I’ve been attending this Pilates studio for a couple times now and absolutely love it! The space is clean, modern, and has such a calming atmosphere. The instructors are highly professional, attentive, and always make sure to correct your form so you get the best out of each session. I feel stronger, more flexible, and more energized after every class. It’s definitely my favorite place to recharge and take care of both body and mind. Highly recommend!

In response to the owner's reply: Doug, it was not just one time that new students were let in early. I saw it happen multiple times, while I was turned away twice and charged. I was never given an exception. So this is absolutely false. Doug, your studio shows favoritism to new students, which will only endanger them if they are new to a reformer. Secondly, your studio DID, in fact, block my account on Class Pass. See the screenshot uploaded here from today: "This business has disabled services for your user account." And yes, I did find a great studio to be loyal to and also take privates with a rockstar instructor. The management at your studio are all a bunch of liars. Good riddance.

Original review:
I was a loyal customer at this studio for 8 1/2 years. They suddenly enforced a strict 6 minute grace period, which I missed a few times, and therefore, was charged a no-show fee. I was disappointed, but I understood. What changed this for me was that I was noticing other students coming in 15 minutes late and being let in without a problem! I brought this up to the studio and first they said that the student had called ahead, but I let her know that I also called ahead, as I was stuck in a traffic jam on Melrose. Then Emily King, the most incompetent studio director, chimed in to let me know that they were new students that they want to make feel welcomed at the studio. That is pure favoritism. I explained that you either have a strict rule for all students or you don’t. Picking and choosing is immoral and a bad business practice. After back and forth with her nonsense, she doubled down, refusing to refund my most recent no-show fee. I told her that after almost 9 years of loyalty, she lost a faithful student that was coming to class multiple times per week. I chatted with a celebrity Pilates teacher friend of mine in NYC about this, and she agreed with me that what Emily is doing is horrible business. She even added that letting in new students late screams DANGER! If they don’t know how to use a reformer, they could potentially get injured. It would actually make more sense to let in the experienced student late, for safety reasons. The pettiness of Emily King only gets worse, as she also blocked my Classpass account from scheduling classes at Dr Pilates. All because I made a legitimate complaint. Come to find out, there are many people like me who left the studio after years because of Emily’s incompetence. Avoid this studio! There are so many other incredible studios in LA!

Love everything about dr, love the instructors and front desk staff, the size of classes are great, they're not too big so you can still feel like you are getting personal attention and the variety of classes offered. It’s the only time in my adult life I've ever exercised regularly.

I realise as I write this that I have been coming here to varying degrees of frequency for around 6 years!! Every time I return after some time away I vow not to leave it so long again. Classes are great. Different teachers with their own styles so you can continue to be challenged. Studio is clean and lots of classes, that are small enough that you always feel accounted for. Definitely recommend!

I tried dr pilates on a classpass whim and immediately signed a 6 month contract with the studio. From the moment you walk in, until the moment you leave you enter an environment that’s clean, friendly and challenging! each instructor has their own charm and every workout is led with excellent music and a cadence that will leave you feeling strong! it becomes addicting in the best way! their customer relations are top tier and always so understanding. i love it so much, im signing on for 6 more months!! give yourself the gift that keeps on giving 🫶🏻

I have been going to DR Pilates 2x/wk since Dec 2024, and I could not be happier. Some highlights: The music choices, the cleanliness, the temperature, the natural light, the fun/knowledgable instructors, the tons of class options, the efficient women at the front desk, and especially the convenient location within walking distance. I have lost a few pounds and feel fantastic. Thank you and don't change a thing!

I have been coming to DR Pilates 6–7 days a week for about six months. It has been life-changing. I am stronger and more focused, and I feel great. The teachers at the studio are excellent—I am especially happy when I sign up for classes with Brynna, Emma, Aaron, Wes, or Adelene. The teachers always offer modifications if needed and are super creative in the variety of moves we do on the reformer. One class is not like the next, in a good way! The people at the front desk are also helpful and responsive. Highly recommend, I am thankful DR Pilates is a central part of my practice!

This is the BEST pilates studio in LA (in my opinion) not only are all the instructors fantastic, but it offers a sense of community that is sometimes hard to find in a big city. Every teacher is incredible about making sure every student has proper form, understands the exercise and each class is well rounded and challenging in a new way. Cannot recommend enough!

They also sell really cute grip socks and the bathroom is well stocked.

It was my first Pilates class and I felt Tina Martini was very clear and easy to understand. I felt no awkwardness to adjust and follow her instructions. I felt like she gave me enough attention as a beginner but not "too" much at the same time. Plus she has a great personality and fantastic timing. We started/ended on time and it felt like we were barely there, but I still broke a sweat because she made sure we were mindful of the muscles we are to engage! I'll be coming back!

I've been coming to this studio for over 5 years and have continued to go since they moved their location. I was 10 minutes late to the class today because my husband took my car keys by mistake. Instead of being understanding the instructor would not let me get on the reformer and kicked me out. I totally get everyone's time is important but as someone who has been going there for years and is never late this was absolutely ridiculous. Unfortunately this business lost a repeat customer

I will say I haven’t taken a class at their facilities (yet), but I was stuck with my bike in the street (forgot the key lock at home) minutes before an appointment nextdoor to their business, and the guy at the reception/entrance was super kind and understanding of my situation and let me store my bike inside the classroom without being a member or someone he knew beforehand.

I’m sure that level of customer service and kindness reflects in their business too, so there goes my five stars! Thank you!!
