Loved loved loved it.. awesome and knowledgeable! teachers Sarah (Mat Pilates) and Claudia (Reformer cardio) are the best!
I think more and more people need to do the mat Pilates they are so much better than yoga!

2024: So far, real good! I went for the first free reformer orientation class. Kendall is great. And today was my first class, we had Claudia as our trainer, and I just loved the class she conducted. Claudia was very wonderful in helping us understand at the reformer session and she was so attentive to each details while I (and the others), as a first timers was trying to work with the machines. I didn’t think I’d be able to do any Pilates, but thanks to her, I am thinking of joining the class.

At LiveMetta Pilates and Fitness Claudia Fleischhauer is an outstanding instructor! As this being my first time ever taking a Pilates class, Claudia has a warm and inviting persona, she has a very bright personality and awesome energy greeting students as they come in. She made me feel welcomed and set me at ease. Me being new to Pilates, Claudia also shown extra care with the attention of any historical injuries and making sure I and others were comfortable with the studio Pilates Reformer and other specialist studio Pilates equipment. I will definitely be coming back!

I discovered this studio back in May when I moved back to LA county. I was looking for a Pilates studio and at the recommendation of a friend I came to this location. I came for the Pilates but stayed for all the different types of classes they offered!!
They offer reformer Pilates, barre, cross training classes, spin, trampoline, and Trx classes.
All the instructors have their own way of making a class challenging yet fun. I sometimes go crazy and take 3 classes in one day!!!
You have to sign up for classes in advance because they fill up, but for me this is perfect, because I now have a commitment and I don't like to break those commitments!
If you live nearby you have to try it out! I'm hooked!!

I have been going to John Garey since for a few years now. The atmosphere feels like a small family rather than a big gym like the others around.

Fabulous pilates studio in Long Beach! I spent two years at another pilates studio, but John Garey is taking my strength and abilities up to the next level (once you've adapted to the basic level, you have the option of athletic conditioning and advanced pilates class.)

I took advantage of their 2 week deal and attended many different types of classes/instructors. I really had to push myself to do this and i was worried about my ability to 1) keep up, 2) fit in, and 3) stay motivated. All of those concerns faded within minutes of each new class. Every instructor I’ve had has been so professional, motivating, energetic, and encouraging! The environment at the studio is super friendly (with the clients too!) inspiring and I feel so much stronger already!! Looking forward to a long partnership with this studio ;)

I hate working out. I'll only run towards food...and a good sale...
But now I try to go to JG daily, and will get sad if I cannot go.
I started with Susan's Reformer Pure classes and loved it. Perfect workout for the active adverse.
Then somehow I got brave enough to try Sarah's Express TRX, because I knew I couldn't hang for a full hour. Got my butt (or glutes, as they call it) kicked, but I survived!
One day I decided to try L.I.F.T., because it "gentle" & harmless AND I thought it was an express class---got my butt kicked yet again, and the class kept on going and going past my 30min. threshold...I survived! And I kept on returning! And then Sarah convinced me to try Express Trampoline..
Love my private pilates classes with Debbi.
All in all, great instructors, front desk staff, and classes. I can't believe they actually got me to workout!

I was looking for a new gym that offered small classes and Pilates for a reasonable price with knowledgeable trainers. You may think I was looking for a unicorn....but no! I found John Garey Fitness & Pilates. I have been a member since August 2017 and LOVE it. The trainers are not only knowledgeable, but friendly....and kick my booty! Bonus: I've lost 6 lbs in 5 months. I love it here and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a variety of classes with the best trainers in Long Beach.

I have been a member of John Garey Fitness and Pilates [JGP] for over 10 years. I am loyal to JGP as it has produced results. The classes are challenging, invigorating and fun.

I highly recommend John Garey Fitness for a number of reasons:
the highly trained staff, helpful front desk personnel, flexible schedule, and reasonable monthly dues. When I started in 2017, I was ready to schedule a third back surgery. Someone recommended Pilates as a way to strengthen my core and back and hopefully postpone or eliminate the need for surgery. With the patience, and expertise of the Pilates instructors, especially Susan Hawk (the queen of modifications!) I no longer need the surgery and feel stronger and better than ever. Thank you to all who teach and work at John Garey Fitness! You are the best!

John Garey Fitness is amazing. I highly recommend it for spinning and pilates. I have been a member now for over 6 months and I am hooked. I've lost weight and everyone tells me I look great. The instructors are knowledgeable and well-trained. They get to know you personally and will motivate and encourage you. They really care about each of their clients. They are serious about your fitness versus the "chain" gyms that only want your monthly membership dues. It is super clean, the equipment is new and in good shape and it is not overcrowded like other gyms and fitness centers. Since you register for classes ahead of time, you always have a spot in a class. You feel great after your workout. I can't say enough good things about John Garey Fitness.

My friends say I am crazy. I call myself an exercise enthusiast! I am very happy to have found John Garey Fitness. I started out with the two week special and I am hooked. Such a variety of classes and highly qualified teachers. I know because I used to be a personal trainer and have just a little bit of experience taking classes, sometimes three classes a day. The facility is clean, classes are well organized and timely, all staff and trainers are friendly and attentive. My favorites are JGX train, spin and boot camp but all the classes are good.

Whatever your level of fitness, this is the place to go. Everyone mixes in well and there is more than enough classes to keep you challenged and interested.
I look forward to attaining my next level of fitness.
