About the Club

Romana's Pilates is designed to give you suppleness, natural grace and skill that will be unmistakably reflected in the way you walk, play and work. You will develop muscular power with corresponding endurance, ability to perform arduous duties, to play strenuous games, to walk, run or travel for long distances without undue body fatigue or mental strain.
Exercises focus on finding the muscles of your powerhouse (core) and strengthening this area to support your spine. If you are consistent in taking practice, you will reap the benefits of better posture, a strong center, suppleness, a toned body and an improved sense of well being - not to mention how invigorated you will feel after working out!

This place teaches authentic Romana Pilates. All the instructors are knowledgeable about the movement of muscles and bones and adjust the intensity according to the student's bidy condition. Highly recommended.

I am 8-month in. This studio is a gem. The instructors are truly deeply knowledgeable in traditional Joseph Pilates. I usually take classes with Jinsol Bae, who is kind, attentive, and always tailors each session to the specific needs and abilities of the group. Other teachers, Doi and Olivia are equally warm and professional.

The studio itself is very clean and welcoming, and one thing I really appreciate is that the group classes are limited to a maximum of four people. It makes the experience feel very personal and almost like a private session. Highly recommend!

Been exercised here over a year now. It helped me to improve my low back pain, posture, and shoulder range of motion. Over all, it’s been a great year and look forward to have many years!

I have been getting private lessons at iDo Pilates for over a year and a half. I have done pilates in the past in many other studios, but was not able to settle down for a long time because I was not 100% satisfied. However, at iDo, the instructor is very thorough and guides the lessons according to my physical needs at the time.
My posture has gotten significantly better as I used to get tight with many knots in my upper body, but pilates has been just amazing as I do not get the knots as often.
Also, the studio is very well maintained in terms of fully equipped and cleanliness.

I love pilates because of this studio. iDo Pilates is a classical pilates studio, fully equipped with Gratz apparatus. Each lesson with my instructor Doi feels like a custom tailored session specific to my body. Highly recommended!

Ido Pilates in Buena Park is honestly the best!🙌 I’ve been going here for eight years now, doing both private and group classes. The owner, Doi, is certified in Romana’s Pilates, and she’s guided me through everything—two pregnancies, an injury, and even post-surgery recovery. Doi is truly passionate about Pilates and helping people feel their best. Her approach, rooted in Romana’s Pilates and the original method, may feel a little different at first, but as you invest time and energy, you start to see the magic. I genuinely feel my body transforming and getting stronger every day.

The other instructors, like Olivia, are also certified and super skilled, and everyone here is so supportive. The studio itself is bright, sunny, and beautifully designed, with two adorable dogs who make each visit even better. Plus, it’s conveniently located right by the 91 freeway, next to the Source Mall, which makes getting there super easy.

If you want to get a feel for the place, check out their Instagram @idopilates_classicalpilates to see what their classes are like. Whether you’re just starting or already a Pilates fan, Ido Pilates is a place where you’ll find amazing guidance, real care, and a commitment to helping you grow and transform💜

진짜…OC에선 알아주는 최고이시죠!!! 벌써 8년째 다니고 있는데, 개인 & 그룹 둘다 너무 좋습니다.

도이쌤은 정말 저의 모든걸 함께 해주신분이에요. 두번의 출산, 부상, 수술 후 회복까지 저를 도와주셨어요. 필라테스로 다른 사람들을 돕는 데에 정말 열정적이시고, 로마나 필라테스 메소드 접근 방식은 처음엔 조금 다르게 느껴질 수 있지만, 시간이 지나면서 그 진가를 발휘한답니다!!! 저도 꾸준히 하면서 몸이 점점 건강하고 강해지는 걸 실감하고 있어요.

다른 강사님들도 인증받은 실력자들이라 수업에 깊이와 다양한 매력을 더해 주셔서 너무 좋아요. 올리비아쌤은 정말 섬세하고 차분하셔서 수업이 끝나고나면 마음이 맑아집니다🤗

아이두필라테스 스튜디오 인테리어는 항상 밝고 화사해서 갈때마다 기분이 좋아져요! 귀여운 강아지 두 마리는 덤이구요🐶🐶 최근에 업데이트된 기구들도 너무너무 좋아요!!❤️‍🔥

“I recently switched to IDO Pilates after practicing elsewhere for four years, to better prepare for an instructor program. It’s been three weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. IDO Pilates has top-notch equipment, and the instructors are incredibly skilled and professional. Every day, I leave with a sense of joy and accomplishment. During my private lessons, I’m constantly reminded of why I chose this place – the instructors offer detailed, persistent guidance that truly makes a difference. I work hard, sweat a lot, and feel proud of my progress.

I’m so grateful to have access to such an authentic Pilates experience and would highly recommend IDO Pilates to anyone. It’s a gem in our community.”

I selected this studio primarily based on its impressive online presence, and it certainly lived up to expectations. The instructors strike the perfect balance between patience and strictness, ensuring correct posture and emphasizing the importance of maintaining the power box. After just eight private sessions, I can already feel a significant improvement in my back. Highly recommend for anyone seeking effective and attentive instruction.

Definitely one of the best Pilates studio that I have visited. Over the past two years, my body has undergone a remarkable transformation, thanks to the meticulous guidance of the instructors. Unlike other places, the attention to detail here is unparalleled – every exercise is fine-tuned, and every nuance is corrected. It's this personalized approach that sets this studio apart, making it a must-try for anyone seeking not just a workout but a transformative experience. Highly recommend to all!

I just love this place. Pilates is so amazing especially if you work a 9-5 sitting at a desk all day. I always tell my instructor Jiyoun that it's almost like getting physical therapy for having to work in an office.

This place does classic Pilates which really focuses on those deep foundational muscles which helped me with strength, mobility, posture, and your overall figure as well. It especially helps with my rounded shoulders, tight lower back, tight hips, basically non-existent core, and weak ankles (bonus pronation! lol).

I also feel like it helps with circulation because I'm super bloated all the time but usually right after my session I feel so much lighter and less puffy.

I've done personal training (weight lifting) for a couple of months and this is my first 1:1 experience with Pilates besides group reformer classes. I would say that weight lifting and Pilates actually would be fantastic together. But if I had to choose one, I'd go with classic Pilates.

The studio is beautiful -- clean, bright, and modern. The instructors are all very nice and welcoming. Highly recommended for everyone.

I love Pilates. It has changed my body , mind and life. I say This place is legit. Super clean, super knowledgeable instructors, period.
I met Doi 8-9 years ago at a studio in LA. She was an instructor and then I heard she opened her studio in OC, I’ve told my friends to go, and they all keep coming here for year until now. Then I moved to OC and started workout with Doi this year - postpartum. Boom, she was good, but she is even GREAT now.
Her heart to Pilates is true and deep. She constantly trains herself with higher level master and studies how to make it better for her customers. She challenges herself and I think it’s what makes this studio so different from many other studios in OC.
*Keep in mind - this studio is for Classic Pilates- which requires deeper understanding on your body and Pilates. So first, know what you want to train. If you don’t know, just come and try it.
I truly enjoy coming here and I believe you will too. Your search is over!

I started taking classes here regularly after coming along with a friend. Doi is a really kind and attentive teacher and I’ve gotten noticeably stronger after coming here for just six months. She explains how things should feel when I’m engaging the right muscles and always notices right away when I need to correct something. She’s helping me enjoy exercising and finding it fun to improve and get stronger.

I have been taking Pilates classes with iDo Pilates since 2019 and have been taking classes regularly with all of the current instructors. The instructors - Doi, Jiyeon and Jinsol- are all personable, have a great passion and energy, and continue to motivate to improve as. They also continue to update their Pilates machines and keep the studio clean.

I no longer have back and should pain and workout target the entire body especially the core. I have seen improvements in the area of strength and flexibility. I strongly recommend this place to all.

My mom and I have been taking duet Pilates lessons every week for around 3 years, and we are loving it. At first, we were unsure if Pilates was what we needed or wanted because of multiple reasons. Neither of us is athletic, and my mom is in her late 50s, now in her 60s. I am not flexible at all from sitting all day working with bad posture. Most importantly, our last Pilates experience at a different studio was only okay. However, now we feel the opposite way. We have both gained core muscles that help us with better posture, and we feel much healthier. We now treat the lesson as our essential weekly event. We would like to thank our instructor, Jiyeon, for being very patient with us :) and bringing good challenges while accommodating our health situations.

It's been several months, and I have been truly enjoying my lessons at iDo Piltes.  My instructor Jiyoun is very passionate about Pilates, and her excitement has helped me to stay focused and motivated, especially on the days that I do not want to be there.  The lessons are mainly on the reformer, but she will mix things up before I get too comfortable or bored with the routine.

I am relatively a beginner in Pilates, and being middle-aged, not flexible at all.  But my instructor has been patient with me, correcting my postures and coming up with other options whenever I express concerns about doing certain moves.  I am glad that I got started on Pilates before I got even older, and I feel very fortunate to have met an instructor who works so hard to better use her knowledge and skills to teach and help her clients.  iDo Pilates has a New Client Special so try them out and see if they are a good fit for you.

I was referred here by my friend. After the first session, I have stuck with and have been coming a year now. I feel stronger and I love coming to the classes. Instructors are awesome. So happy I signed up and committed to coming!

I have been coming to iDo Pilates off and on for over 2 years. This is a place to get really great workout experience. All the instructors are very attentive and spot on. They know what they are doing.
Before the Covid19 , I used to go for their group Pilates class which was for only 4 people in the class. Now I am getting semi private lessons with my daughter from Doi teacher. My daughter has seen the difference in her general posture. Even weekly Pilates class improves posture and eliminate chronic pain on her hip.
I know the rate here is little more than many other studios. But remember - you get what you pay for!

My wife brought me to here at beginning with doubt. Now, strongly recommend IDO plates for both women and man.
Come for Doi, the best instructor, thoughtful, professional, friendly, responsible, patient, has super good personality, loves life, alwasys smiles... She likes talking and sharing all interesting things with you. She likes making friends. I wish I could use all the good words for her. She customized approach to cater customers' needs, and will ask feedback after each set of exercise. She corrects my posture in detail, which is reaaaaally important for me to get improvement. Pilates is focused on body control, which is not easy, actually super difficult. If instructor just teachs you everything by mouth without correcting you with hand, it's impossible for beginner to get the correct pilate posture. Without the correct posture, you might hurt yourselt even doing a simple exercise. Doi will absolutely not let that happen. She will point out all your wrong movement and guide you to correct it. My only concern is that all trainees are female except me every time when I go there. Feel so embarrassed. Wish more mans come to learn.

I started out with Doi but had to switch to Ligia’s group classes due to schedule conflicts but both of them will change your life. I can see/feel my hips/shoulder becoming “normal” (I used to struggle with really bad spine and hips.) thank you!

Started out as a customer and now I'm a good friend of Doi, the owner and the Principle Instructor. Lots of malicious, spiteful and flat out untruthful posts from trolls. Mostly likely competition or disgruntled former employee. This post by J. Choi in Korean language- identical post left for Pilates Culture. Don't listen to these liars- this place is real legit and the best Pilates in Fullerton/Buena Park Area.

I’ve been working out at this studio for the past two years, and the health benefits are immeasurable. I could clearly see my physical changes and psychological benefits as I work out consistently with various instructors including Doi (of course the most experienced and professional yet rigorous), Ligia (one of the new yet great instructor of the team), Audrey (the one who inspires me to workout more), and Jiyeon (the ballet and aeriel barre instructor who spent her entire college years and more to master ballet moves). I love the variety of classes, personal attention, and motivating atmosphere of the I-do Pilates studio.

What's not to like? there's plenty of free parking spaces and Doi is a great instructor. Friendly, and easy to get along with. But when it comes to excercising, she is strict because she really wants to help you achieve your goals.
