Best studio on island for classical Pilates. All the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and have completely transformed my body. I have scoliosis, and even as a yoga instructor with great body/alignment awareness, am unable to catch myself in what I think is square, level, or certain muscles engaging or not. Pilates O’Kala instructors are so expertly trained to call these out to me and even my chiro I’ve been seeing for years has noticed a huge difference in my posture and scoliosis. I am so grateful!

My mom & I have Been going to Pilates o ka la for several months now and WE LOVE IT. Not only do I feel more physically stronger, but have also noticed that some of my chronic pain (that I’ve hard for years) has diminished :) We love using the various equipment they have including the reformer, Cadillac, mat, and chair.
We do duo classes with suz and she is the best!!! Always tailoring our sessions to our needs & explaining exercises in a way that’s easy for us to understand.

Amazing results in the last 2 years that I've attended. Thanks to a friend whom had mentioned and highly recommended. I was injured by a horse in late 2021 and had finished a series of physiotherapy at the time.
I was looking to strengthen my core and stabilize my hips, regain overall muscle strength for home activities and surfing. The staff are great, very helpful, super knowledgeable and my body feels strong and fit like in my early 20's. Thank you!!

I was initially nervous about joining a group Pilates class with friends and wanted to get some private lessons beforehand so I wouldn't embarrass myself. In my search for a studio, I found Pilates O Ka La, which offered a beginner's special: three private classes for $285.
While my initial attempts to contact the studio for more information by phone and email were not helpful. No one contacted me or responded back. I was alittle irritated by it. Everything changed once I booked my first private lesson.
My assigned instructor, Suz, was fantastic. She was incredibly flexible around my availability to attend sessions, very communicative, and responded quickly.
During our sessions, Suz was clear and concise in explaining the different techniques and positions on the traditional equipment. I learned so much and was definitely sore afterwards—especially in my core!
I recommend this special to anyone new to pilates. It's one of the more affordable options for private sessions compared to other studios I researched.
The main studio location is also a great space: it's very clean, spacious, and the equipment is well-maintained with little wear and tear. They also provide towels and water for everyone to use.
Parking is directly in front of the building, roughly 3 or 4 stalls available and assign to Pilates O Ka La. Note: they have a second location up the block, but I have not use that facility during any of my visits.

Alex was an amazing instructor who focused on alignment and core strength. The studio is very special surrounded by nature and the equipment is all first-class Joseph Pilates-designed-Gratz made. O Ka La Pilates is 100% authentic.

Best pilates studio in Honolulu. It was my first time ever using a Pilates reformer, and the instructor was very helpful and understanding of that. I would 10/10 recommend.

Even in Hawaii, the Pilates practice continues! I’m so happy to have found Pilates O Ka Lā, where they teach the classical Pilates order with such expertise. The studio is beautiful, and the view of Diamond Head makes it even more special. A huge thank you to Chelsea and Emma for the warm welcome and the opportunity to practice at your wonderful studio—I truly appreciate it!

I was visiting my son and wanted to find a Pilates studio nearby where I could keep up with my exercise routine. I was so fortunate to be booked with Suz! She is such a nice and knowledgeable instructor. I loved my classes with her and can't wait to return :)

The mat Pilates class was perfect for the end of a long day. It was challenging and pushed me in all the right ways, while at the same time relaxing my entire body and loosening muscles up. I also felt like I could stand taller and straighter with all my core muscles activated. It was perfect.

I was always interested but intimidated by Pilates. I met Elaina and she convinced me to give it a try. Wow! This is the best thing I've ever tried. Specific and targeted exercises are what I've always needed.

I love this place! The classes are small and very chill. I don’t live here and was looking for a place to keep up with my Pilates routine when I found them. I’ve only had Alex and Gigi as instructors and they are both excellent. They have a wonderful energy and clearly a deep understanding of Pilates. I can’t wait to come back!

Wow, had not gone to this studio or did pilates for over 4 years, I walked out of this class with my legs shaking and the next evening, my abs on fire, what a great teacher (Alex who cared enough to text me the day before about my injuries ) and what a great strong class

I love Bri as my personal pilates trainer, her PT knowledge combined with her knowledge of Pilates is the BEST! Also, I love the glide of the wood reformers and the small studio to train in. It's very private and there's no distractions. Pilates O KA LA gets an A++++ in my book.

I love the sun filled studio in soft white and gold. Makes me feel so luxurious. Instructor Kalena demonstrated confidence and knowledge. The classmates were friendly and helpful. A great location with classical Pilates - even Gratz reformers and a Ped-o-pull. An authentic experience.

As a decades-long "mat class" PIlates enthusiast that started taking reformer classes somewhat regularly at Pilates O Ka La a few months ago, I can say that these classes have been a huge step up for my fitness routine and I'm seeing real results! I love all the teachers, especially Cat and the owner Chelsea. They are well trained, knowledgeable and take the time to give you individualized feedback and adjustments. The studio is friendly, extremely clean and overall a great place to get in a super effective workout.

Owner made me feel uncomfortable. I would prefer not to text information that exposes my credit card and personal identity in order to book a private session.
Be smart, avoid identity theft.

I was visiting Hawaii and stopped in on one of Chelsea's Pilate classes and what a fantastic experience!! I wouldn't consider myself an advanced Pilates student but Chelsea was very patient with me. I would highly recommend any experience level to attend one of the classes here!

I took two group classes here when I was visiting from Oregon. It was so fun to continue to do pilates while on vacation, especially with such great instructors and an amazing studio! The studio was clean, and had all the necessary equipment to take a great reformer or mat class. The instructors were very knowledgable and were able to teach to my abilities as well as the abilities of all of the other people taking the class. I hope to take classes here every time I come back to Oahu, it made my vacation even better! I would recommend this studio to anyone wanting to take pilates for the first time, on vacation, or people wanting to continue their pilates practice in an amazing studio!
