She is changing my life! I started seeing Crystal after having back pain occur out of nowhere. She has an encyclopedic understanding of anatomy and how the body works. Which means she has designed a regimen of stretches and light exercises that are helping me heal (safely) and get back into alignment while ultimately strengthening my body as well in order to prevent future injuries. It also means that she has been able to diagnostically deduce the behaviors that lead to my injury in the first place. Every session, I am progressing, and she is adjusting our plans accordingly. Seeing her has not

I met Crystal a few years ago and she transformed my view on working out. Before her I literally never worked out. I knew I needed to start so I thought I'd try pilates. Well, I fell in love with her and with pilates so much that i'm getting my own reformer now! Crystal has an endless amount of knowledge with the human body and always knew how to fix my pains and problems, and i have a ton of pains and problems! I even tried going to a couple group pilates classes but didn't enjoy any of them, i just couldn't wait to get back to Crystal. She is so nice, patient, encouraging

Langham Pilates is definitely a very customer-oriented and guided business. Crystal is genuinely committed to delivering an incredible experience during pilates lessons. As a dedicated marathon runner and someone who has a herniated disc, I really needed an instructor who would take this into consideration with every exercise performed, and she really has. Not only that, but Crystal has taken time outside of our lessons to research issues I have had and brought that knowledge to my appointments. Additionally, its really easy to schedule online, which makes getting into see her very easy. Since

Crystal is the best pilates instructor I've ever had bar none. I had been dealing with unique issues that are getting fixed through her instruction which is a very different approach. For example, My hip flexors tend to get super tight if I don't stretch a ton. We trained around them to make other muscles stronger, and taught them not to grip during certain exercises. My flexibility is totally back!
Also, I felt totally at ease with Crystal while I was going through massive and extreme changes in my life. Working out was an emotional process for a while there while my thyroid was

I was lucky enough to work with Crystal for a month while I was out in Los Angeles. In over 7 private sessions, I learned an incredible amount about pilates and my body. Thanks to Crystal, I feel so much healthier and more fit. In addition to being all-around lovely, Crystal is an amazing educator. She can make any movement understandable to anyone and everyone. The studio itself is lovely and conveniently located. Crystal is the best! Can't recommend her highly enough to a beginner or an advanced pilates goer.

First off I never write reviews, but Crystal is the exception that I absolutely had to write a review for because she is just that great. I have been going to Crystal for a few months now and I can most definitely say that I see results and have become more toned. She sets up an individual plan for each person to make sure that you will get the results you want and she mixes it up each session so you don't get bored doing the same thing over and over. Also she is flexible about scheduling sessions with her and works around your schedule which is great. She is a very kind person who will

I have been training with Crystal for 4 months and she has completely changed the way I view exercise and my body. I had no previous experience with pilates and Crystal did an amazing job explaining all of the foundations for the basic positions and made me feel completely at ease in exploring this new form of exercise. She is always able to answer any questions regarding the exercises we are doing and is incredibly knowledgeable about what she does. The private studio is very clean, relaxing, and has great natural lighting (which is a must for me!). Crystal is incredibly warm and welcoming, and

Crystal is really as good as is gets when it comes to instructors. She makes you feel so comfortable from the second you arrive and really takes the time to go over everything. She is very detail oriented and I find this so important in Pilates since the best way to get toned is to pay attention to what muscles you're using and exhaust them:)
You leave feeling like tons of tiny muscles(that were probably never used before) have just been fully worked out. This gives such a greater understanding of how to practice using the proper muscles when you're working out on your own. Every time

I did her 3-for-$20/ea deal while on a business trip in Cali and ended up getting one more class in before I came back to NYC because of the immediate change I felt in my body and my connection to it. (not to sound too hippy-ish).
Crystal is friendly, down to earth and really makes you feel comfortable. She leads the sessions based on your personal abilities that day. Love the machines. Didn't think I would. I'll see you when I'm back in Cali! Thanks.

Crystal eased me into my work out. I was intimidated by the Pilates machine when I first came in but the process was not only therapeutic to my body but soul and mind as well.
Her space is really beautiful and her calm yet motivational demeanor is a huge part of why I am a regular.
My body has tightened and strengthened. I actually feel taller! :)

Crystal is an incredible instructor. She keeps you focused and works with you to achieve your goals. Crystal has a calm, encouraging presence about her that keeps me motivated and driven to work harder but in a way that does not feel pushy or over bearing.
The private lesson package is the way to go to and Crystal is very flexible and accommodating to work with your schedule.
Lastly, I love the private studio. It doesn't have the imprisonable feel of other studios I have been to in the past. It feels very comfortable.

I live for exercise, I turn into an awful person (sure maybe I always am one) if I don't do something physical every day, so I've tried everything - several times. I've taken Pilates a bunch and never liked it, I felt it wasn't challenging enough OR relaxing enough, just not anything enough - I always thought it was a more boring way to lift. Not anymore.
Crystal has changed my perception of Pilates entirely. Her training is not just physical but also intellectual, nothing is done just because she says so - she tailors the series (es?) to your specific needs and then explains

This was my first visit to a Pilates studio. I've been interested but very reluctant to try it--I take medicine to prevent osteoporosis and have been told not to bend from the waist or twist my spine, and the Pilates equipment looks intimidating.
A family member who knows that Crystal just moved to LA from Brooklyn suggested I try it with her while I was visiting the Los Feliz neighborhood and I am so glad I did!
Crystal is very professional, serious but friendly and very focussed--to begin with, she is the first person to explain clearly exactly why certain twisting and forward-bending

Crystal was my long-time trainer in New York, and I was lost when she moved to Los Angeles... so I took a little vacation for a few classes in her new studio. Not bad--California sun and thoughtful, holistic, intelligent Pilates instruction in a gorgeous space.
Crystal as an instructor is all I said before and more--she took me on when I was at my heaviest and most terrified of exercise and made it not only enjoyable but *effective*, helping me to lose weight, to tone, to get stronger and smarter about my body and what it can and should do. She was a gift to New York, and now she's California

I wish I'd met Crystal a long time ago. I've taken Pilates classes here and there and spent hundreds of dollars buying DVDs off the TV at 3am over the years but I've always felt like I was doing it wrong. It turns out I WAS!
Doing Pilates with Crystal is like taking a science class that also gets rid of your muffintop. She is so smart and able to explain every move in a way that makes so much sense. I'm not just getting in shape, I'm also learning the how and why of every exercise. As a result, I'm able to catch myself as I fall back into bad posture behaviors throughout

I was devastated when I learned Crystal was relocating to Los Angeles. Who would whip me into shape, who would work with all my various injuries? I suppose good for her, but bad for us NY'ers.
She is an extremely thorough and thoughtful instructor, really focusing her attention on you and your well-being. She takes the time to really listen and understand your goals and any ailments and always has a game plan to help you reach your goal and mend your ailments on the way.
LA is very lucky to have her
