I’ve lived in Playa for about 6 years and for the longest time I wanted to check out Art of Pilates, I finally went through with it and I’m so glad i did. The studio is so cute and the teachers make the classes not intimidating at all, I never did Pilates before I signed up for their new client special and since the first class I was made to feel very welcomed.
I highly recommend this place for anyone looking into starting Pilates or finding a new place to do it. Special shoutout to Robyn, even when I was taking just their beginner classes, I felt challenged enough to make it a good workout when I attended her class.
Absolutely worth the money and time to workout here!

This is my favorite studio to attend as a fellow Pilates instructor! All of the instructors are knowledgeable, taking great care in form and providing adjustments as well as giving a well-rounded class that leaves you challenged yet feeling open. Everyone is friendly and the space is warm! Just love it!!

This is the best studio! I stopped looking after I found Art of Pilates. I’ve done Pilates on both east and west coast and at different studios. The teachers, the environment, the expert feedback and knowledge here is incredible.I highly encourage you to try a class here and see for yourself. It’s peaceful but a serious workout. Very calming and simultaneously challenging.The language and teaching that their experienced experts use is just the best. Judy taught my first class and I was hooked. She and Fleur are two of my utter favorites.Wonderful comraderie and encouragement. Nice environment to come to and not intimidating to join.Also, anatomically the techniques they teach are just phenomenal - I’m a pelvic surgeon and they know their stuff!!

I started taking individual Pilates sessions here due to injuries and it has helped my body's healing process. I feel stronger, agile, and much more connected with my core. I was a former college athlete and I'm not new to Pilates, but this studio does a great job with understanding their clients needs, meeting them where they are, and helping them get where they want to be. Aileen has been a wonderful instructor and I'm so grateful that this is in Playa Del Rey and within walking distance to my home.

I joined this studio a year ago. I had chronic back and neck pain, but I don't have any these chronic pain since I started practicing Pilates at the art of Pilates. The instructors always ask if I had some pain or where I like to work on. It makes me feel like I have a private class. This studio is small so everyone get to know each other. I feel like I'm very welcomed by the instructors whenever I come to the class. Especially Michelle is very positive and enthusiastic about everything and make the class so much fun. The best thing about this studio is the location. Only a minute away from the beach. So after the class, I love to talk a walk to beach. Also, it's a very clean studio, you can feel breeze from ocean. I'm very happy with this studio, but I hope they offer more classes on weekends!

Being a gym rat my entire life I needed something to ease back into working out. Two years of pandemic inactivity adds up and you just lose motivation. The idea that Pilates being only for women is a myth. There's plenty of male pro athletes that do it. It's a hard workout and targets the core muscles that would've otherwise been neglected in the gym. Art of Pilates rocks. I now do the jump board and abs class to supplement a week of weights. My least favorite things in life are cardio and ab work. Now I really look forward to class. They have super nice and supportive staff. It's a small boutique studio and they're almost like my family after nine months of doing this. I recommend taking a few 1 on 1 classes at the beginning. It's for safety and to make sure you're getting the most out of your workouts. Parking is difficult on Saturdays. Get there early and circle around. A spot always opens up. Once you've got parking you can enjoy a nice day at the beach.

I've been doing Lagree method reformer Pilates on and off for over 5 years now but didn't start to practice regularly until 2021 when I wanted to get in to a healthy routine in preparation for child bearing. When I got pregnant a few months ago, I started taking classes at different Pilates studios as I thought the Lagree method was a little too intense and didn't provide the support I needed for my growing body. I started coming to Art of Pilates weekly via Classpass but didn't fall in love with the studio until I took Michelle's class the day after Christmas. I got really lucky because her classes are so popular that they're usually not available on Classpass. Michelle is such a warm, energetic, knowledgeable, and interactive instructor. It's no wonder her classes are always full. She gave me so many tips and modifications, and I felt really safe in her class. No other instructors at this studio (or any other studio) have given me modification tips, so I never felt secure the way I do in Michelle's class. And, Michelle's routines are challenging. I don't typically sweat in Pilates but I sweat taking her classes. Her routines work out the entire body, and I walk out feeling like I've worked out every single muscle, limb, and fat cell. I loved her class so much that I ended up buying a 10-pack immediately after my first session. I can't wait to practice Pilates with Michelle until the baby comes!
