At LiveMetta Pilates and Fitness Claudia Fleischhauer is an outstanding instructor! As this being my first time ever taking a Pilates class, Claudia has a warm and inviting persona, she has a very bright personality and awesome energy greeting students as they come in. She made me feel welcomed and set me at ease. Me being new to Pilates, Claudia also shown extra care with the attention of any historical injuries and making sure I and others were comfortable with the studio Pilates Reformer and other specialist studio Pilates equipment. I will definitely be coming back!

I had an amazing first experience in Sarah's rebounding foundations class. The energy, music, and workout went above and beyond my expectations. I found this a great way to work out and would definitely take this class again. Great way to start off my Saturday morning! Thank you Sarah!

I would recommend LiveMetta to anyone who is looking for a high end fitness studio I couldn't be happier with my experience. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. The combination of Pilates and strength training has not only improved my strength but also enhanced my overall well-being. The studio itself is clean, welcoming, and equipped with top-notch equipment. I highly recommend LiveMetta to anyone looking to achieve tangible results. A special thanks to Kendall who truly goes above and beyond to create a welcoming and supportive environment.

Been going here for over a year now, great instructors and a fairly good range of schedule for classes. Only thing I would add is a stretch class to their schedule, otherwise a solid place to work out.

Great place to work out! They have a lot of classes to choose from with knowledgeable and fun instructors! Full body work out in the pilates and fitness classes. It's definitely worth trying a class to see for yourself.

I love Live Metta in Long Beach. Everyone is friendly and so welcoming. Pilates is my favorite form of exercise and they provide great classes at all levels. My favorite instructor is Claudia, her classes provide and good workout and the time flies by. I actually look forward to exercising for the first time in my life.

I started coming to LiveMetta at the start of the year. I took advantage of their two week trial membership for $29 and was able to take 5 classes that fit into my schedule. I hadn't don't reformer Pilates in about 4 years, so I made sure my first class was the orientation class. Claudia taught it, and it was great meeting an instructor and having a small, intimate way (just me and another new student) to have a refresher on moves, techniques, switching gears, etc. I signed up for monthly Pilates classes and have loved taking a wide range of days and times to work with various instructors. So far I've just done the foundation class (for beginners) and I'm looking forward to leveling up to plus (intermediate class). All of the instructors are positive, approachable, helpful with gentle corrections as needed, and have great music on the playlist to keep class fun!

I have been a member since I had shoulder surgery. The instructors were so supportive. I am now healthy and strong. Best bonus I have a great community of friends!

Sarah Swain is an amazing instructor! I have had the pleasure of having her for both Pilates and fitness classes and she made both challenging but fun!

This review is for both the trial period and the fitness-pilates combo membership I have as a beginner with no prior experience with pilates. New Member Trial Great new customer trial period rate for pilates at 2 weeks unlimited of $59. For my first week, I took one class a day, Monday-Friday, and then the second week, I doubled up on classes to get figure out what I wanted. They have morning and afternoon classes, but I can only make it here after 4:30 p.m., so I've been taking their 5/5:30/6 classes. Of course, all this was before they started offering their fitness classes as well. I came for one free new student orientation on Saturday (that you have to create an account and sign-up for) and Megan was great about teaching me the basics. I highly recommend trying this package out to see what classes you want and with what instructors. Fitness-Pilates Combo (8x/month) From August 2023, they started offering separate fitness package, as well as fitness-pilates combo packages, and I wanted to do that, so I enrolled in the Founder's Special fitness-pilates combo for 8x/month (4x pilates and 4 fitness classes) for $149. The pilates classes have a limit of 10 members, so some specific times (afternoons for me) do fill up quite quickly, causing waitlists to occur. The few times I was on a waitlist, I ended up coming off of it (because someone else cancelled), so it worked out alright for me in the end. The fitness classes have a limit of 20 members, but they are more accessible - I haven't seen any waitlists for those classes yet, but this programme did just start. All the instructors I've worked with are pretty awesome and do genuinely work with you to get you ready for these classes. Marie, Sarah S., and Carrie all made sure that my posture were right and gave feedback to me (as well as other members in the studio) when appropriate/necessary. I geniunely enjoy the classes and instructors here, so I recommend it. The reason for the one-star loss is the cancellation policy; you have 12 hours prior to the start of your class to cancel without a $10 penalty, but that puts me at a disadvantage because I take classes after 5 p.m. (which means I have to cancel before 5 a.m. that morning, when I am still sleeping. It's a high penalty for such a long wait time. There is a waitlist for certain classes as they fill up fast, and you'll know if you're off the waitlist that morning of the class in case people cancel overnight, but let's say you're off that waitlist (that early morning), you'll still be responsible for the cancellation fee if you can no longer enter that class. I have had a hard time reaching them when I call and end up getting a text message letting me know that someone will call me back if I leave a detailed message. If the waitlist becomes available 4 hours before the class, someone will call you to inform you that you're on the class list. They're still working out a better system, but something to keep in mind as you're evaluating your choices.

I attended a teacher training program, honestly I'm so happy I did. The staff is so knowledgeable! So patient and helpful. They are there to make sure you understand all the exercises and offer plenty of help and resources. Absolutely will be attending another program soon.

I have been going to pilates recently and really enjoy the class I am taking. This studio is clean, in a quiet area, and parking is always easy. Deborah is great and her beginner's class is perfect for newbies like me.

I love the instructors and the classes however they do have a harsh cancellation policy at 12 hours prior which is a bit unrealistic at times (ie. say you have a 5pm class you would have to be up before 5am to cancel that day). And even if you're trying to switch a class to a different one same day they will still charge you the $10 fee. If you get off the waitlist into a class within the 12 hour window and it no longer works for you, you are still responsible for the $10 cancelation fee. I've even tried to call them directly to assist and they just say "it's the way their system works". I'm debating if this facility is right for me with their strict policy that is becoming more of a hassle and an added expense with fees on top of the membership than an fun way to get a workout in.
