This is one of my favorite studios in LA. I know when I book a class I’m going to get a great workout. I had Devon for reformer pilates and he was so kind, helped me with my form, and encouraging!

Instructor stopped me in the middle of the class to tell me to purchase socks. I usually come here with no issues and the instructor neverrrr stops me in the middle of class and asks me to purchase socks. On top of that I was slipping on my towel with the socks they made me purchase. They told me it was their policy however every time I come here the instructor never told me to purchase socks.

Looks nice from outside. The noise from the classes make it hard to enjoy the massages at the business next door

I was skeptical of going here because of some of the reviews but now that I’ve been I can tell you any bad Google review is either fake or from bitter people. If you’re planning to come here for a good sweaty workout put this on your list and don’t miss it!
I was welcomed from the minute I walked in. Shown where everything is and made to feel comfortable. Even got given a free water.
The workout 10/10 - and I like high intensity classes. This was not a half and half Pilates class. I got a good burn but could slow down whenever I needed to. The people in the class were all chilled and I didn’t feel unwelcome at all.
Clean factor - 10/10
The teacher - 10/10 knowledgeable fun and great energy
Amenities 10/10 - shower and they provided towels and all bala equipment.
My only gripe is this place doesn’t have a studio in Australia!
Can’t wait to go back.

Whenever I am in LA, I make it a goal to try a new exercise class. On this particular trip, I opted for Hot Pilates. Much like the name suggests, the mat Pilates class is in a heated room. Dominique taught our Saturday AM class, and we utilized light weights and a block during the 50-minute session. I enjoyed the class, though the room was a bit too crowded and sweaty for my liking—as in my neighbor breathed on me, & I could smell her. Nonetheless, the staff was lovely, the vibes were very LA, and I felt like I got a good toning in. I wish NYC had more sculpting classes like this. Minus the human air conditioner. Oh, and make sure you bring Pilates grip socks.

I love this studio! Intense, precise, low impact workouts that are always different class to class. The staff are sweet and knowledgeable, their playlists are great, and the location/parking are ideal.

This place is amazing, I was here for the teacher training and got to try some of the classes while i was there for 4 days and the classes are fun with great energy each instructor had their own style and the heat is a game changer for sure.
For those interested in the teacher training, 100% worth it! Shannon is a pilates master and you can tell she has a deep respect and passion for the foundations of pilates.
Everyone that worked there were super friendly and welcoming, I miss the classes already and I can’t wait to come back.

SCAMMY AND RUDE. I’ve gone to a few hot Pilates studio in Los Angeles and I’ve never had such a bad experience that I felt the need to leave a review.
First off, when I arrived and reached
to open the door the instructor locked it without even looking up and continued having a conversation with someone while blocking the door for five minutes. When she finally opened the door it was to let someone out which she bluntly said to me “studio isn’t ready” and shut the door on me. There were at least 3 people working.
Then when I entered, I checked in and they front desk showed me to the room and explained the mats and towel are only for paying customers, as if because I booked through ClassPass I was ripping them off. They left a space for me next to the cubbies to set out my mat so the whole beginning and end of class everyone was stepping over me to get to their stuff.
If the workout was good, I would have let it be but it was not. There was only space for two rows of mats and every space was taken up. The room only had one mirror and the instructor didn’t even move around to show the exercises. Because I was in the back corner and there were no mirrors on the sides of the room, I had to twist my body whenever we were on our side to see the movement as she stayed on her own mat the entire time. There was also someone right in front of me recording herself the entire lesson and I was definitely in the video which made me uncomfortable.
However, the real kicker is that I left a negative one star review on ClassPass indicating this experience and they went back and marked me as a no show so I was charged for “not showing up” and the review on ClassPass disappeared. In turn, I was charged a cancellation fee. That plus the credits I paid for to attend the class is literally more expensive than buying the class directly from them. Super dirty move and scammy. And honestly, this checks out with the experience I had with the instructor Dominique Louvere.

I loved hot pilates. Such a great place. Nice staff at the front, they answered all of our questions before hand so nicely. I did Anna Collins class and she is not only an AMAZING instructor but so so caring and kind too. Thank you hot pilates. Such a great experience and HOT class.

Ugh I debated giving two stars but I bumped it to three because they have been accommodating for the most part when I’ve expressed my issues + concerns. Also the teacher Shannon Nadij is so amazing I had to bump it three stars. If it was solely based on her rating it would be 5 stars as she’s the only one who makes you brings a warm energy to this place. Here’s the thing, the classes are jam packed 90% of the time. The staff (not Shannon) are rude, uppity and unwelcoming. The environment is not friendly compared to other classes alike in LA. Look, it’s a fine workout I leave feeling satisfied with the workout. But It’s the only class I’ve been to that locks its clients outside in the cold until 2-3 mins before the class starts. I personally enjoy stretching before class and getting acclimated to the temperature of the room. This is a private facility so I understand that they can record if they wish but I walked out of a class today because two women in front of me, one an employee were recording the workout in the frame was herself and me and another girl in the background. The girl next to me moved out of frame but I didn’t have anywhere to move to because both spots in front of me had cameras haha. I’ve never been recorded in a class lol when you come somewhere to workout I believe it’s unprofessional to just whip out your camera and record without even asking for consent from your paying customers. I’m sweating, I’m struggling, I’m in funky poses and I would prefer to not be filmed. I brought this up to the employees at the front and requested the class be reimbursed so I can retake a later time which they did for me. BUT “Just so I’m aware” “ they do film in class.” This must be a new year thing cause it’s only happened at this class today and one last week and I’ve been to several classes here. Something else that rubs me the wrong way is the fact that a paid for a pack of 10 classes and was unable to attend one I assumed since I canceled late that class would be taken out of my 10 classes (completely fair) but on top of taking a class out of my 10 classes they also said there’s a 15$ late cancel charge. So because my body wasn’t present at the class I have to pay 15$? Lol I already paid for the class. I’m not trying to drag this place because I think it has some great qualities but dang the owner could really make it so much better just by addressing their clients concerns.

Decided to try this place out the classes are fine but will NOT be joining for 300$ a month which is what you need for unlimited classes vs 2 a week, just join a luxury gym like equinox (260$) that has classes and you’ll even be saving 40$ a month. The classes are the same and you can enjoy a luxury gym rather than a catty studio. Really decided this today I barely have any time for myself so when I workout I get it done. I usually wake up before work and take their 7am class. This morning I arrive at 6:50 and the entire class is waiting outside with the door LOCKED. We all wait until 7:15 as class starts at 7 keep in mind we are standing outside at 7am in the cold weather and still no word. No one is answering phones, a regular left and even said this happens a lot?! Just leaving clients outside with no word as they are ready to workout and start there day?. I’m shocked and will not be joining how can you leave an entire class of people outside it is now nearly 8:30 and still no word on what has happened?! Ruined everyone’s day and workout seeming that you charge $20 for a no show fee it’s absolutely a joke to leave an entire class outside with no word from management.

The work out is decent. But wow the staff couldn’t be any more rude. There is one teacher in particular, and she teaches in all the good time slots, who seems so miserable and just takes it out on everyone in the room. Never smiles, speaks disrespectfully to all the students. Obviously you want your work out to be a positive experience, and she has the most palpably negative energy. Think her name is Lauren. She even looks mean and nasty. Try for any other teacher if your schedule will allow it. Also front desk staff is rude, catty, has favorites, makes some people wear grip socks and not others, barely says hi or bye. Also the cheap plastic surgery will scare you off as well! Not worth it to subject yourself to these awful people, find any other work out studio and you’ll be better off. Good luck out there!

It is a reliably good workout, and typically the music is fun (hip hop). However, there does seem to be a cultural problem and there is zero sense of community. Usually everyone is in and out and pretty cold towards each other. You will rarely have another person make eye contact, much less smile at you-- that goes for fellow ladies taking the class as well as those working on staff. It just feels cold and empty, unlike most of the other places where I take classes in the area.

The owner let's celebrities park in the only handicap spots they have available. As you can see a few reviews down someone could not safely get their grandmother to her dentist appointment. Maybe the owner should speak to Kendall and Hailey about how they are in fact able bodied and can walk a few more feet to get to the establishment.

The woman at the front desk wouldn’t let me come in because I am “too overweight for their liking” and they don’t want a reputation of letting plus size people in their business. I felt humiliated it ruined my day…

Everytime I go here the handicapped spots are taken by an AMG. Came to find out it’s Hailey Bieber’s car. My daughter had a dentist appointment and I saw another elderly woman who needed that spot. Hot Pilates you better do something about this. Next time I will call the cops. Not okay. To Hailey Bieber you are not better than anyone else you are blessed enough to walk more than 10 feet. It’s disgusting grow up.

Don't come here they have no respect for others, especially those with disabilities. The employees don't care and tell people to park in handicap so they don't have to walk far.

Not disability friendly and employees let clients park in handicap to be close to the front. They do not care about others who are actually handicap and don't take disabilities seriously.

A business like this who allows celebrities to park in handicap spaces, should be boycotted. Apparently, they think that celebrities are much more important than disabled people.
It is truly shameful.

Was trying to get my grandmother into the dentist office next door with her vehicle that has a legal handicap pass, but this woman already claimed the spot even though she is not handicapped. She had body guards that intimated us despite being in a public shopping center. Hot Pilates management said they won't do anything because it was a respected client. Really? Putting some random person above the elderly handicap? Cops will be called next time.

Social media manager is doing a great job covering up bad reviews. Be aware if you book it through class pass they won’t refund or cancel your appointment, because they say “they can’t” - I’ve been refunded before from ClassPass from other companies so I know that’s not true.
This place should own up to their own policy and not blame Class Pass for their abilities to refund a customer. They should also consider not marking up the price of cheap merchandise and requiring it as a “mandatory rule of safety”.

The Manager (woman) at the front desk was very rude. She uphold me $20 socks and said they were mandatory - as soon as I got into my class I noticed 4 people not wearing these “mandatory” socks. She lied to make extra money off of me. If she does reply back to this review I’d like her to explain why she can enforce a rule on me but not anyone else, just because I’m a new client. First impressions are supposed to be good.

She also misled me about not being able to canceling my class. She said it’s not possible for her to cancel my class pass even though I’ve had businesses cancel and refund me before. I’ve done hot yoga before and never was forced to wear cheap oversized socks - seriously, they are extra large and made out of flimsy material.

Usually hot yoga places rely on a mat and towel on the mat for your safety and your comfort - they never try to sell you $1 quality socks for $20. This manager made me late to class while taking her time stressing me out and also took her time processing the payment. My class was 30 min instead of 45. With stress. Thank you so much !

I have been going here for about 3 months and it is amazing! The studio is clean, friendly and cute. Free Parking at sunset plaza is the best!

Prior to this I was not really into Pilates (reformers/ cold slow rooms) but this may based Pilates in a hot room has changed the way I think of Pilates. It has changed my body completely and I feel refreshed after each session from just sweating it all out.
