About the Club

Welcome to Hard Core Pilates, formally Power Pilates by Sylvia. We have expanded into a studio in Woodland Hills with more reformers and more class times. We offer daily group classes, private sessions and semi-private sessions.

My name is Sylvia Lewis. I was born in Germany. I am a Personal Trainer, a Specialist in Exercise Therapy, and have been a Balanced Body trained Pilates instructor since 2012. I opened my own boutique studio in Woodland Hills in 2020 and expanded to a new studio in late 2021.

I love working out at Hardcore Pilates! I’ve been going there for over two years, and I can really tell the difference in my improved posture and strength. The instructors at the studio are great! Each one offers a different type of emphasis on the workout, all the way from beginners to advanced. I’ve been taking group classes primarily with Sylvia and Malinda, who are not just great instructors but also fabulous people. The ambience of the studio is friendly, warm and professional. All the instructors are lovely and thoughtful. They’ll give you opportunities to challenge yourself when you can, and they’ll offer modifications when you have a slower day. This approach has allowed me to maintain a consistent practice and to continue getting stronger. This studio is the best!

I have been going to Hardcore Pilates for over 2 years and I absolutely love the teachers and the studio. My favorite teacher is Sylvia— but all of the teachers are excellent as well. These classes are very challenging but I only do Pilates and I feel that this form of exercise is the best overall workout!!!

It had been over 20 years since I took my first Pilates class and wasn't sure where to go. I tried a few different studios around the Woodland Hills and Agoura area but kept coming back to Hard Core Pilates. I felt amazing after each class and the fabulous instructors made you feel like they truly cared about your health.

Melinda is such an amazing teacher. She's patient, clear with her instructions and notices when we need help with our form. There has been a few times where Melinda will see me struggling and provide me with an alternative option so I don't hurt myself.

*Parking is shared with a Starbucks but I've not had an issues finding parking.

Oh my gosh. I’ve been taking from Sylvia for about 13 years so I was absolutely thrilled when she took over the studio. I have never had a bad class from anyone here. I usually attend Sylvia and Melinda‘s classes, and I have never had the same workout twice. There is such a great variety of equipment, the chair, TRX straps, the bozo ball, so it really is a wonderful workout. They are always very patient and on the lookout for good form. I cannot recommend this place enough.

my favorite Pilates studio!! All the instructors are amazing, I love how they all give corrections and pay attention to everyone in class and help when needed. I’ve gained so much muscle in my legs from coming here weekly that I had to go up a pant size (in a good way!) 10/10, highly recommend

Seriously love this place!!! This instructor was not only super sweet, but she really knew what she was doing. I felt like her education about form and pace was perfect for me. Also, she gave a mini massage during our stretch out because it was a small class. I can’t wait to come back!! Leilani is awesome!!!

This is my go to Pilates studio. The instructors are very attentive to each person in class. It’s a small studio so they make sure to make it cozy. Leilani Blom is one of the best instructors here. She makes sure to check in with everyone constantly which is super helpful.

Stand back…!
Strong dose of High Energy Enthusiasm and Hardcore Magic ahead!

For those of us not naturally inclined towards kicking our own butt to get into shape, who need a little bit of encouragement and handholding to rip our bodies into healthy fitness and a toned vibe…

SYLVIA and her team (not to mention this gorgeous studio space -!) are the answer.

I’m a pretty solid Pilates believer…
But as anyone who’s had at least one Pilates class knows, it’s all about the instructor as to what you get out of your session(s). So as long as you’re paying for the experience, might as well get the most out of it, right?

Sylvia ensures that you do.
In a stunning, air-conditioned, new state of the art studio, with glistening equipment, and plenty of different apparatus to play around on- you can hardly believe an hour flew by…
and you leave craving your next hit.

I had intended to sign up for only a few privates given that it was a bit of a drive from where I live, but after one session, I signed up for the complete package - this place so outperforms and outshines EVERY pilates space in the SFV (including longtime stalwarts like Studio City Pilates and Stongbody!)

Whether a novice, and you’ve only ever thought about trying proper Pilates, or a diehard advanced believer… This. Is. Your. Place. ♥️

MUST CALL.

Farrah is AMAZING! It’s that plain and simple really but if I must give you reasons for her awesomeness along with the awesomeness of the studio then here is goes……

1. Parking is ample. I go in the evenings so I’m not bothered by the Starbucks crowd, but even with that, there are plenty of places to park in the shopping mall.
2. The work out is challenging. Not entirely impossible and you don’t have to be a pro but it’s a great mix of strength and stretch.
3. The studio is clean! Beyond that you don’t have to even worry about cleaning the equipment afterwards or wondering if someone before you cleaned it properly. The staff cleans the machines after every work out which saves you time and peace of mind.
4. Farrah: SUPER patient. Every time we book her class last minutes she super patient and gives us a full workout. Plus she is very attentive making sure that we stretch out our muscles after a grueling move but she also times each exercise perfectly so you can actually get the most out of your workout.

Overall I love this place. Super cute and challenging and they even have a quote on the wall by Joseph Hubertus Pilates. I didn’t even know he was a person just thought it was a verb.

I'm a 65-year-old guy, and my wife has been doing pilates for about five years. I saw the health benefits for her (strength and more importantly for someone in our age group, flexibility and balance), so I decided to give it a whirl. Couldn't be happier. My job entails sitting at a desk, and my core was soft mush. I've been working with Emma for a number of months, and she is patient, helpful, and knows when to push and when to back off. I'm not fond of the drill sergeant type of trainer, having been yelled at and pushed when I was in the Army, and when doing high school and college athletics. Emma is the opposite of all that, and she makes exercise fun! At the end of a session, I know I've had a workout, but my body doesn't feel beat to a pulp.

Apryll and the other ladies who work at the front desk are absolutely first rate, and the owner, Josh, is a great guy. The equipment is state of the art, and well maintained, and the sessions are reasonably priced. Go for it!
