I love this studio! I’ve been coming here for almost two years and it has been consistently a great experience. Amazing instructors too, with variety of styles. Most often I go to Elena’s or Daneeb’s classes and they are both amazing!

I was really excited to try Pilates for the first time. This studio was close enough to home where it was convenient. I checked in and told the instructor, it was my first class. I reviewed online which class I should take according to my level and all to make sure I signed up for the right class. He did not bother to even help me set up and was on his phone a majority of the time. I went to another studio last weekend and the experience was like night and day. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

First time taking a Pilates class and I was beyond impressed. Elena is incredibly professional, explains each exercise clearly, and makes sure your posture is correct at all times. She has a positive energy that makes the class both motivating and relaxing. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and I left the session feeling renewed and with much better mobility. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their physical and mental well-being!

This is the third Pilates studio I tried this month and it stood out! Located on the second and top floor of a 90s building on Douglas Road, it's the perfect spot they secured to make the experience more enjoyable. The studio is cozy and comfortable enough to make you levitate during the class.
I jump into the advanced reformer bed, which is secluded in the corner, giving you privacy and the perfect space for you to focus on your session. The ray of light from the sunset hit me while pulling the class, keeping me warm and active during the entire exercise. The studio faces Douglas Park full frontal, which blends harmoniously with the natural spirit of a Pilates class. All these elements combined provided me with the gracious spirit of a tribal Pilates experience, making me wonder if I would be floating on air while I was swinging through the stripes through the Douglas trees. Dr. Gareth paid attention to all details and was on top of our class at all times, combining several exercises and making sure we obtained a complete workout.
I would like to try more sessions in this space, as I think the environment makes it unique to capture an unplugged workout routine.

I began my pilates journey about 7 months ago and Pandora quickly became my favorite studio in Miami. As someone who struggles with a number of chronic health problems, I was hesitant to try a new workout program. But from my first class with Deneeb, I knew I was in the right place.
Deneeb, Mila, Lindsey, and Dr. Bell are some of the best teachers I have worked with in South Florida. They are all deeply knowledgable, kind, fun, and overall excellent instructors. I never thought I would be someone who works out in the morning, but their early morning classes actually give me something to look forward to when I am struggling to get out of bed. These incredible teachers have changed my life and health forever. So grateful for Pandora.

First time visiting the studio and I had an amazing experience! Mila was incredibly attentive and patient throughout the Pilates session. She made me feel comfortable and guided me with care, especially as a first-timer. Her support and positive energy made the class both enjoyable and empowering.

I highly recommend Pandora Pilates, especially Dr. Julia!
She has been a huge help with my neck injury. From the very first session, she has been incredibly kind, always taking the time to explain each step of the process.
She works directly with me during the therapy, making sure I’m comfortable and guiding me through every movement.
The exercises she gives me are specifically tailored to my needs, and I can already feel a significant improvement in my recovery.
I truly feel like I’m in the best hands with her.
Dr. Garreth is also fantastic. He has a deep understanding of what’s needed for healing and provides excellent guidance.
The care and attention I receive from both of them has been outstanding, and I’m so thankful for all their help.
Thank you!

I had a fantastic session today with my pilates instructor Elena Victoria! She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive throughout the class. Her warm and supportive approach made me feel comfortable and confident, especially as she took the time to explain each movement clearly and offer helpful adjustments. I truly appreciated her and how encouraging she was. Looking forward to more sessions—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great Pilates experience!

Great experience overall! Dr. Garreth Bell lead the class and provided guidance during the challenging class. It was still beginner friendly and a great workout! The ambience was perfect. The room smelled nice, it was bright, and equipment was cleaned after the class. There was also music to get us through the workout. I had a great time! Can’t wait to return.

The Sound Bath Meditation & Aromatherapy class with Cristal was SO AMAZING!!! It was totally relaxing and magical. You will definitely zen-out with the soothing and delightful sounds of the sound bowl…
After a hard but amazing Pandora Body Class, you must sign up for the Sound Bath class. Trust me you will love it! You can take the class on Wednesday nights with Norkis and Thursday nights with Crystal both at 8:15pm.
Try it… your soul will thank you!!!
ps: I suffer from insomnia and that night, I slept like a baby!!! Can’t wait for my next class. 💖

Working with Julia has been a game-changer for my recovery and overall fitness. As both a highly skilled physical therapist and a knowledgeable Pilates instructor, she brings a rare combination of clinical insight and movement mastery to every session.
She tailors each workout not just to my fitness goals, but also to my specific injuries and mobility restrictions — especially related to my back. Her attention to form, alignment, and muscle activation is unmatched. I always feel safe, supported, and progressively challenged.
Since training with Julia, I’ve seen real improvements in core strength, flexibility, posture, and pain reduction. She’s professional, encouraging, and incredibly effective. Whether you’re recovering from injury or simply want to build a stronger, more functional body, Julia is the kind of expert you want by your side.

I absolutely love this place—the atmosphere, the instructors, and the workouts. The variety of classes offered is incredible, and each one is amazing in its own way. I especially want to give a huge shoutout to Alli Rae, my all-time favorite instructor. She constantly pushes you to reach new heights and always provides the motivation you need to keep going. Her energy and encouragement make all the difference!

I wish I could give Pandora 100 stars! I found Dr. Julia and Pandora Pilates after herniating two discs in my lumbar spine postpartum in 2021 and refusing to do surgery. I initially started as a physical therapy patient with Dr. Julia who has the healing hands of a literal angel and thanks to her, eventually strengthened my way into Pandora's group classes. I took Dr. Julia's spine class twice a week for my entire second pregnancy and could feel the space in between my vertebrae after class and had zero back pain pregnant, despite my herniations. All of the other instructors are so sweet, so knowledgable and are truly there for you and your body's needs. I have become such a Pandora fan that I am now doing my teacher training under Dr. Julia and her team and look forward to supporting others in their healing journey. If you are looking for a clean studio with great vibes and caring instructors, Pandora is your place!

If you're looking for an exceptional Pilates experience, this studio is a must-try! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly supportive, tailoring each session to meet your individual needs. The variety of classes offered ensures that there's something for everyone, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro.
The equipment is top-notch and well-maintained, creating a safe and effective workout environment. The focus on form and technique helps you get the most out of each session, and I’ve noticed significant improvements in my strength and flexibility since joining.
What sets this studio apart is the sense of community; everyone feels welcome, making it a motivating space to push your limits. If you're looking to enhance your fitness journey, this Pilates studio is definitely the place to be!

Unfortunately, the first time i ever tried this place was during pregnancy. I went in last week, at 21 weeks pregnant for their Friday prenatal class.
This is not a prenatal class. This class involved exercises unsafe for a pregnant woman like plank to pikes, twists, and what baffled me the most was the lack of equipment. The one thing you must have for prenatal pilates is a wedge. A triangle-shaped add on to use to avoid laying on your back. They had one. They only had one for the entire class.

Mixed feelings about this studio. Christine Gagen is an amazing person and teacher, and the studio for group classes is pretty and bright. The spaces for private classes aren’t ideal because it’s either a small private room without the reformer, or a larger space with a curtain that’s only semi private where you can hear other students coming in and out, and can be awkward when you have to move between spaces during a class. The parking situation is tight with limited spaces, which makes parking stressful when the building gets busy. The process for booking private classes is more complicated than it needs to be, and I had a snafu with cancelling a class when I was sick and my usual teacher was out of town, that resulted in me feeling quite talked down to and blamed for a situation that I didn’t feel was my fault- even though I appreciated being refunded in the end, it came with a lecture from the owner. I have never felt as comfortable coming back to the studio since then, so I’m exploring alternative pilates providers after a year of private sessions at Pandora. Pilates is a very personal thing so it’s important to find the right environment that fits your style best.
———
Edited to add: I appreciate the response by the owner. For clarity, I had agreed with my teacher that we were canceling class due to her being out of town, meanwhile the owner had access to my account and scheduled me with an alternate teacher without asking me ahead of time. I missed a notification of this booking because I was sick and had thought class was canceled by my teacher as agreed ahead of time. No one meant for this situation to happen, but that’s what I meant when I mentioned the private class booking process is overly complicated.

I absolutely love this studio and have been a regular patron for almost a year. The classes are such a good workout and the teachers are very helpful. Julia was able to resolve my chronic hip and low back pain with physical therapy. 10/10 recommend!!!

I came through ClassPass and tried Pilates for the first time with them and now they might be stuck with me! I’ve been to two classes and I think I am HOOKED!
Christina is so kind and patient - she was very helpful! The classes are very welcoming and it feels like such a judgement free zone!
Finding this place is painless, it’s easy to find parking (at least for the early morning weekend classes) and it’s even free! The classes I have been to have not been overcrowded, the place is VERY clean.
Thank you Pandora & Christina! I’ll be back!

I have been coming to Pandora for over a year and this studio has become my sanctuary. Every instructor is so unique and challenging in their own way. I’m also currently pregnant and have been able to maintain coming as they accommodate pregnant clients and make modifications as needed. The space is so relaxing and I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Thank you Julia and the rest of the team for creating an amazing space! I am a Pilates girl for life!

I’m here visiting and decided to try out Pilates for the first time! Chelsea’s morning class was great! For a first timer, I found her instructions to be clear, her personality welcoming, and the class pleasantly rigorous. Great location and beautiful aesthetic! Thank you Chelsea and Pandora Pilates!

Highly recommend Pandora! They have a great team of teachers for classes, and physical therapists for private sessions. Drs. Julia and Adrianna both helped me push through healing my DR (diastasis recti) that I developed over my last two pregnancies. I’m not a habitually fit or active person - I was so discouraged and wanted to give up many times! Julia personally checked in on me weekly and would not let me give up until healed. Now I’ve “graduated” from therapy to Pilates, and there are a few gentler classes (even one for postpartum specifically) to suit my new-to-exercise abdominals. Looking forward to the more challenging classes when I’m able. Thank you to these lovely ladies!

I cannot say enough nice things about Julia, owner of Pandora Pilates. I started doing Pilates one-on-one with Julia about 3 years ago, after 9 months of physical therapy for multiple injuries sustained through working with a personal trainer. Because Julia is a PT and is constantly taking courses to refresh and enhance her knowledge and modalities, I am never bored and always feel challenged by her workouts. Julia first helped me continue to rehab the areas where I was weak slowly strengthening them, and now is pushing me to achieve more each day. Because of her vast knowledge I'm never afraid I will get hurt, even doing completely new exercises or routines. When I need work in a particular area, Julia will do manual therapy on me and then targeted exercises to address my area of pain. As a person, Julia is warm, kind, smart, knowledgeable and always encouraging. I look forward to seeing her each session. Thanks to Julia, I feel fit and strong again!
