I started on a 2 week trial and now I'm addicted!! Every teacher has been very welcoming and friendly and each class has me shaking and sweating! Just when I thought things were getting easier and my muscles were finally getting used to the moves, I took Ashley's class and she kicked my butt! Amazing instructor, great vibes, super motivational, and challenging! I love Lagree and Elevate training!

Five months ago I was practically forced by my friend Zory to sign in for a try-out week at Elevate. After the first class I was hooked. The effectiveness of the routines, combined with excellent instructors, have improve my physical (and emotional) condition and my life with it. Everybody should give themselves the same opportunity, to try this place, enjoy the environment and get significant improvements in health!

The door is locked at the beginning of class since there isn't a front desk receptionist. I was running late to class on transit and called, emailed and texted but could not reach a human- literally there was a robot via text, but no human.

I purchased the 2 weeks for $59 and they weren't willing to rebook me into the following class so I paid for another class. Late policy is understandable, but life happens and if you are having a bad day don't expect Elevate to understand.

AC is not always turned on and the room was stuffy from the previous class.

If you can, take class with

I took Carina's class and wow!! Great teacher and great full body workout. She kept us moving and pushed us the entire time. Great music, great moves and instructions. Really helpful to new students like myself when it came to ensuring that I was in the right poses and doing the movements correctly. Nice brand new studio and beautiful location!

Elevate is incredible. The classes are extremely challenging especially for 40 minutes & there's a wide variety of schedule options. Ashley is by far the best instructor and will kick your bootie right into shape!

I'm so obsessed with this studio. My boyfriend and I needed a new workout and we've always been curious about Pilates. This studio wasn't too far from our house and they had a great new client offer so we took advantage of it.

The workouts are AMAZING. If you really want to see a change in your body; physically and mentally this is a phenomenal option. The classes are high intensity, great music, uplifting energy and your body will look amazing after.

Favorite teachers: Ashley (hilarious), and Danijela (amazing instructor), and Stephanie (focus on form).

Highly recommend taking a class from Elevate Training! I did a group class last night with my coworkers from Rady Children's and Natalie was an amazing instructor. She was so patient with us and gave good direction. The view was perfect, the reformers were spread out, and everything was very clean. Thank you!

I would give this studio 10 stars if I could.

I have been a member of Elevate for more than 3 years and I am addicted to this workout.

What especially compelled me to finally write a review for the best Pilates studio I know is that the company response to the COVID19 pandemic has been phenomenal.
The company knows how to balance following health regulations with keeping customers happy (and healthy).
I think it is mainly because the company truly listens and responds to what the customers want.

When California closed back down, the company was smart enough to strike a deal with InterContinental

Love this workout, it's similar to SolidCore (though not as good- not as intense or as long). Most of the instructors as good- they motivate you and talk the entire time which is needed because of how brutal it can feel to hold some poses. The upbeat instructors and music make the time fly.

The only instructor I really don't like is Susana Z. She doesn't talk, sometimes I find myself lost and rather than explaining what to do next she will just name a move like the windshield wiper and you're left looking around at everyone to see if anyone knows what's she talking about

Lagree pilates is an amazing full body workout. I find that at elevate you really have to find the right instructor for you. With that being said I recommend taking advantage of their 2 week intro deal for $59 and go as many times as you can with different instructors. I found that I wasn't getting that sore as I wasn't working my muscles to fatigue as you should be with any lagree class, and that the routine/moves were always similar/repetitive and then I found my favourite instructor Raquel L... She does a killer leg workout always, not to mention she is the sweetest and motivating

Elevate is one of my favorite downtown studios when I am looking for a quick, but thorough workout. The parking isn't great, so plan ahead. I live close by so I just walk, but my friends have missed classes from circling around or ended up paying a decent amount for parking.

The new building they moved to is super modern and sleek. I always love walking in there, it sets the tone for a good workout. Once you are inside you sign-in at the front using the iPad that will have your name if you signed up online (or through class pass).

The machines are wider than the normal Pilates machines

Love Elevate and the machines. Def recommend doing a private session if you are new to doing the Lagree machines. Love it when they correct my form and are precise communicating on how to get the MOST out of the movement. It can be intimidating at first couple classes but worth it (they offer a cheap 2 week trial!) and like that it's only 40 min but totally feel accomplished.

Great workout on the latest model megaformers for Lagree method Pilates. I love the method but the studio itself has gone through some major changes in the last several years. I was out of country the majority of 2018 so returned and the studio had moved.... to a location currently where parking is still $6 each class even with parking validation. Annoying.

This studio started out as BodyRok in North Park, changed to Core40 and moved to a location in Little Italy, changed owners and the name to "Elevate", and has now moved again to its current location near the Navy Broadway complex

Haven't tried it under the new management, but I can always expect an incredible workout here! I've been dealing with some neck injuries from an accident and every instructor really took concern and would always provide adjustments / check in. I haven't found that added level of support from any other studio. I'd highly recommend!

This studio use to be great when it was Core40. The new ownership and change to Elevate has now made it 1 star. The owners are mostly concerned with selling toe socks and retail than giving the clients a great workout in a positive fun atmosphere. Also - a few of the long time good instructors left because of the new ownership.
Check out Pilates Plus in La Jolla if you are looking Lagree. Overall you'll get a better workout in a better environment.

I'm addicted to Lagree! And still try to squeeze in a workout if it's close enough to me and it fits my schedule. Luckily Elevate Training wasn't too far from our hotel and was in the same neighborhood as Bencotto, in which we had dinner reservations at after. I was able to snag a reservation on ClassPass with a couple hours notice. It's randomly in a small building with several floors in Little Italy. I didn't find any stairs access.

The room was kept dark during the workout but got warm quickly. The class was full despite it being at 5:30 in the evening on a

Core 40 is really hard core! At least for the non initiated! 40 minutes packed of Pilates exercises done with the help of a very effective machine. I loved the opportunity to try out a first class for free and got totally hooked up. Mabel, the fitness instructor, was awesome both in accommodating and explaining every exercise. She remembered the names of us newbies (which always makes you feel welcome, I need to learn how to remember names, that creates a huge impact in my opinion). I like all the exercises we did, classical pilates but with the machine and props you feel the work is more deep
