I found this golden gem in the midst of Covid when classes were being held outside and I could not be more pleased. Melissa is fun, dynamic and knows exactly what she's doing. She's attentive and even in a full class (which they always are...she's that good) she is personal and thoughtful. I always look forward to class with Melissa at Gold Line!

YAAAAAAYY. What a fun place. I have been going twice a week and working with the awesome Ana. Have some health issues and she always knows just how hard to push and when to take a step back. I always feel better after.
Plus it's easy to park! Just wish it was on the first floor...but I guess I will just appreciate the extra cardio!!! If you are looking for a caring, love-filled place, this is it!

This is my favorite Pilates studio in the city! The owner is so welcoming and knowledgeable. She does a great job keeping track of her clients and their limitations/injuries. She is kind and patient (I've unfortunately experienced the opposite from another Pilates studio in the city). I love that the studio brings in the latest and greatest additions to keep the workouts fresh and as always in Pilates, effective!

The best Pilates studio I've ever attended. I've had memberships at Club Pilates and used to receive private Pilates classes at Equinox. Melissa and her studio beat my prior experiences by far. Let me start by saying the classes are limited to 6 people at a time but sometimes there are 2-3 people- Feels as if you're taking private classes. Melissa is very educated in Technique and really targets the core which is why we all take Pilates. She's very encouraging and never makes you feel like you're not getting it-she will correct posses and takes her time explaining

I’m so grateful for the care and thought Melissa at Gold Line Studios has put into creating a safe sanitized, beautiful outdoor Pilates studio.
As of March 14, 2020, my 80 year old mother had been going to Pilates with Melissa at Gold Line Pilates twice a week for at least 6 years when the world stopped. I think she was one of the original clients at Gold Line having followed Melissa from a gym when she first opened the studio. Throughout the quarantine year, Melissa showed great care and concern for my mother who is elderly and vulnerable to the rampaging virus. Melissa helped out by checking

Recommended by my fantastic doctor as his athletic-teamed daughter and wife go to Melissa. She was perfect for me as I have been a lifelong non-athlete and she was patient and knew exactly how to go slow, make me comfortable and build my strength at the same time. I would be there now if it weren't for the pandemic, but I know there is an outdoor plan in the works so I can continue my individual sessions. Melissa was honorable and very fair in dealing with financial issues as well. Easy five stars!

I'm so happy to have found Gold Line Pilates. I had lower back tightness and hip pain that sometimes kept me awake at night. I saw doctors and was told me that I had no injury or diagnosis, it was just "age-related." Discouraged. My physical therapist recommended Pilates so I went to a group class ---not a great experience. I decided to give it another try with Gold Line Pilates. I admit I was at first quite skeptical, but my instructor Anna helped me so much. She was great at explaining each exercise ... I'm feeling muscles that I didn't know I had! I also love going

I am in my mid-60s and have been going to Gold Line Pilates once a week for close to a year and a half, following my instructor Anna from another studio. I am not someone who worked out regularly before, except for some hiking. My goal was to improve strength and balance. I wanted to work with Anna specifically because she is so particular about form that I felt there was no way I was going to be injured, and that has exactly been my experience. She is really good at personalizing and varying the workouts. There is a world of difference between 1 to 1 instruction and group classes. I’ve noticed

I recently decided to switch up my routine and give Pilates a try. I have been dedicated to my fitness for the passed 15 years but had not given Pilates an opportunity until I found gold line Pilates. My instructor Jillian offered a consultative and considerate approach given my physical abilities and fitness goals. Needless to say I am very satisfied and have achieved incredible results. I absolutely would refer anyone to Gold Line Pilates. 5 stars!!!

I love Gold Line Pilates! I've been going for a month now twice a week. I always look forward to my sessions with Melissa. She is super friendly and I really like her attentiveness. She really pays attention to your form to make sure you're doing the exercises correctly. She goes step by step with you and challenges you. She always makes sure you are doing the exercises safely too. She has a great teaching style and I knew immediately that I was in good hands with her, especially since I've got a lot of injuries. The studio itself is clean, bright, and welcoming. Easy parking in

I am so fortunate to have found Gold Line Pilates. Because I have existing issues I had to find a new way of dealing with my discomfort. Jillian is the best instructor. She listened to me when we first met and has taken me under her wing so to speak to help me on my way to heal. This is the best way to start 2020!!!

Great studio! Professional instructors, clean place, and very nice owner, Melissa, who is very attentive to your needs. They have both Pilates and Gyrotonics. Erik, one of the gyrotonics instructors is an amazing, professional and motivating instructor. Just when you think you’ve mastered a move, he helps you improve even more in order to get to the next level.
Anna, one of the Pilates instructors is great too. She has an eagle eye as to what your body needs to improve strength and flexibility and balance.
I definitely recommend this studio.

I don't live in Pasadena, so I'm not lucky enough to call Gold Line Pilates my home studio. But I come here a few times a week whenever I'm in town to visit my grandchildren.
I've been a workout enthusiast my entire life, but only discovered Pilates in the past several years. It has done so much to keep my body healthy and strong, and is a great compliment to my distance running. I used to take group classes, but since starting Private pilates my progress and knowledge of my own body have really accelerated. The individual attention makes a huge difference and you know you're performing each exercise

I highly recommend giving this studio a try and when you’re there ask for Jil! She’s the best Pilates instructor I know. I find her very consultative and is extremely knowledgeable about the human body. She helped me work in my back issue! The studio is also great as it provides top of the line equipment. If you’re thinking of taking Pilates classes, I'd say give this place a try!

I recently started coming here for private pilates lessons. I took group classes years ago, but I get so much more from one-on-one training! It’s definitely worth it. The workouts are challenging and offer lots of variety so I don’t get bored. They have easy online scheduling which helps keep me accountable. I’ve worked with several instructors and they each have their own style and approach but are all super knowledgeable and fun to work with. I often work out with Anna since I like to work out in the mornings and she’s been great. Highly recommend this studio.

I've done a lot of Pilates and tried a lot of different places... skip Groupon, Class Pass, and cheap group classes and go to Gold Line Pilates for private sessions. A big part of private lessons is about connection and rapport. The staff is really friendly and extremely competent (especially the owner Melissa), and everyone is genuinely interested in helping you to feel better, stronger, and happier. There are a broad range of teaching styles ranging from traditional to modern, from super beginner to super advanced, from relaxed and restorative to really challenging and goal-oriented. I&apos

Melissa is a great instructor who received her Pilates certification training abroad. She's quite experienced with Pilates and always challenges me during our workouts so that my abs always feel like they've gotten their money's worth after each session. I've been going to her for a couple of months now with some injuries and she's always been observant of my form and is conscientious of what she has me doing so I don't further injure or re-injure myself. The cherry on top is that she's also fun person to train with. Her Pilates studio is located on the second

This is exactly the kind of place I've been looking for! From the moment I walked in I felt relaxed and comfortable, to the point where I found myself lingering after sessions, just wanting to be in the space. How great is that, a Pilates studio you can't wait to be in!
I've done a few Gyrotonic sessions with Erik Heger and am enthralled with both the work and his guidance. I didn't know what Gyrotonic was (friend recommended it) so I was hesitant, but by the end of the first session it felt like my head was floating on my body, a feeling of space in the spine. And Erik is so

I came to Goldline because my Pilates teacher, Robyn, started working there. I'd follow her wherever she worked but I'm very glad she ended up here. I've found Goldline to be an oasis where I get to start my day in a relaxed, friendly and fun environment with an expert level teacher helping me achieve the goals I'm after for my fitness and health. The fact that parking is never an issue, and that Whole Foods is a one minute walk up the block doesn't hurt either. Goldline is one of my favorite parts of my week every week.

I love Gold Line! I take private lessons from Robyn once a week and she is without a doubt one of the best Pilates instructors I've ever had. She's friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. She learns which exercises I like, which ones I avoid (I hate planks), and which ones hurt my body so that she can personalize the experience for my body every time. She pushes me when I'm feeling lazy but always checks in to see how I'm doing and will mix it up if I'm not feeling something in particular. I look forward to private classes with her every week!

I love this studio! I take private lessons with Robyn and she is a great instructor. The studio is small and clean so there's never too much going on at once and you get really close personal attention from the private instructors. It's also a very relaxed environment, I always feel very comfortable. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a more individualized pilates experience!

I really enjoy pilates and am so happy to have found Gold Line Pilates, and Melissa! She is the owner and my teacher, and she is wonderful. The space is airy & light, the equipment new & clean, and it's a great workout. My core has gotten so much stronger since doing Pilates, and Melissa is also really fantastic in helping me when I have specific aches and pains. Give her a try!
