This place is amazing! I started coming here July of 2021 and have worked with Gayoung and Yuna, who are both superb instructors. They work with you one on one and guide you through each movements and exercises. You will be surprised how much of your muscles are engaged in simple repetitive movements.
Parking is accessible and cheap $2.
Clean and nicely decorated interior.
Highly recommend this place!

Nice staffs and professional. I went there for a back pain. Kayoung (Andi) checked my body and she focused to fix my posture. Now the pain is gone and furthermore, I feel like i'm back to 20 years old. So now I'm focusing on weight loss exercising with Yuna. Every instructors has their own style. You need to talk to Kayoung (Andi) about your goal and then she will arrange your schedule and instructor for the best.

I am a complete novice when it comes to pilates. I came to the studio knowing nothing about pilates, but I was already hooked from day one. Not only is the studio luxurious, it is always clean and beautiful! They have lockers to store your belongings & a nice water dispenser for that tiny break when you need to catch your breath. They have all the equipment you need when doing pilates. You have to wipe down the equipment you use after your lesson.
What I also love about this studio is the teachers here! They listen to you & push you like a personal trainer. They can modify all the movements

I had taken the intro classes a few years back at their Wilshire location out of curiosity but didn't continue because of the pricing. However, I injured my shoulder pretty badly at the beginning of last year, and physical therapy & acupuncture sessions were only temporarily relieving the pain. After suffering for most of the year, I decided to give pilates a shot and signed up for the private lessons around Oct 2019. After a few private sessions, I was able to extend and rotate my shoulders without any pain! I have decided to continue my private lessons so that I can now work on correcting

I uesd to have a lower back pain and tried do alot of things to fix it like massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, and etc. but it didn't get better. So I took 10 private sessions with Gayoung who is instructor in Movement Piates and my back pain has gone now. I really recommand this studio because they are so professional and know what they need to do for customer's condition.

I started pilates since 2016 at Movement pilates. Since then, the neck and lower back pain has been relieved. The instructors always check my body posture, and focus on developing weakness. Through these process, I find the instrctors caring for each person. I highly recommend this place from my experience!

Finally writing a review for Movement Pilates as I'm almost near the end of my 10 sessions!! (I was not able to find the Yelp page for their new location so I'll write it here) They moved to Western and 4th (2nd floor where Atelier by Tiffany hair salon is).
I was following Movement Pilates on Instagram and saw that they were offering a promotional rate. After a few DM's, I decided to give it a try and signed up. I made it pretty clear that I didn't mind a different instructor the first couple of sessions since it would give me an opportunity to find an instructor that works

Lovely and knowledgeable staff. Seeing a lot more diversity lately. Pilates is taught in English or Korean. Movement also provides children's ballet classes, private adult ballet/barre class, and there's also an in-house chiropractor! Unlike typical group pilates classes, group classes offered here do not exceed 3 students, making it affordable and really worth the price. At times, an additional teacher-in-training ('apprentice') is also there to spot you. The space is clean and perfectly curated. Check out their new location in La Canada if the Los Angeles location doesn't work out for you! (The

I started Pilates about 3 years ago at Movement. During the 3 years, I have rotated through many of the instructors here for private and group lessons (max 4 clients/lesson), and all of them are extremely well-trained and professional.
Because Pilates is not a cheap hobby, I previously opted for group classes through ClassPass at at least 4 other studios in and around the DTLA and Pasadena area-- but after introductory private lessons at Movement, I cannot go back.
The instructors here have a finesse for assessing your strengths and weaknesses and focusing on the areas that need to be strengthened
