I have been a long-time client of Namiki Rile at My Pilates Body; she is the best!! Namiki is gentle, but she's tough! She makes the necessary corrections for proper form while constantly challenging me. Namiki's instruction is very intuitive. She has so much knowledge of the body and knows exactly which exercises to prescribe to help me meet my goals and change my shape.
My Pilates Body is a friendly and welcoming studio; it's like a second home for me!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sara L.Los Angeles, CA04Apr 13, 2018
I've been coming to My Pilates Body for the last four years. I initially picked the studio because it is in my neighborhood and like that I can walk to it (driving to my previous studio just stressed me out, which wasn't a great way to start the day). The owner Erica matched me to Heather, and I have been happily doing private sessions with her once a week. Heather is a good instructor, and we have a lot of fun talking during class (although, I should probably talk a little less so I can put more focus into it). Heather is flexible with scheduling to accommodate my sometimes crazy travel schedule. The studio is sunny with views. And the rest of the instructors there are always friendly.

I've been a client here for 6-7 years, starting once a week; now, I'm here 3 times a week with 3 different instructors.
I recommend all of them because i'm sore in all the important "spots" in my (pilates) body. I recommend Erica, Stacey and Namiki. They keep me happy (flexible, strong core and balanced). Judy RSHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I really really like this place. So far I've taken 10 private sessions with Heather, and I couldn't be happier. Her knowledge and expertise is seen immediately. I love how she's always switching up the exercise routines so I don't get bored. I have already seen and felt the results of these 10 sessions. Looking forward to continuing on.
The owner Ericka is great! She's really nice and even though I don't know the other trainers, they are really friendly as well. Everyone makes you feel comfortable and welcome. The space is really cool and aside from the reformers for Pilates, she has a few cardio machines you can use before or after your workout and plenty of cool equipment to stretch with.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jaimie P.Los Angeles, CA1122Nov 2, 2018
This studio is such a hidden gem! I have been very fortunate to have Erica give me one-on-one private sessions. When you ask for abs, she will make sure you are sweating! I have also heard really good things about the other trainers here as well. Really glad I found this Pilates studios.

My Pilates Body and Erica, the owner, is amazing! I owe my last fews years back to normalcy to her!
I had been having extreme shoulder pain for a couple of years so my orthopedic doctor recommended that I start doing pilates as a means of strengthening. I tried Pilates at another place that offered group classes and I was very vocal about my shoulder so they would help me modify as to not hurt or aggravate anything since they go so fast and have other people to teach at the same time as me. That didn't happen so needless to say after 3 classes I left in tears and a full blown tear in my rotator cuff as my MRI pointed out a week later. I was devastated.
After my experience at the other place and a now annoying 2x a week physical therapy regime prescribed to me for for 3 months the LAST thing I was going to do was Pilates again! Well let's call it divine intervention, because 2 weeks later I randomly met Erica through an acquaintance totally unbeknownst to me that she owned a Pilates studio. After some talking and my hesitance she offered me a personal training session to see how I felt...You can imagine how nervous I was but there was something that made me trust her. And WOW. I could not believe the difference between her training approach and the other place. WOW. I signed up right away!
Unfortunately my rotator cuff tear had not been getting any better with physical therapy (the Pilate's was helping with my mobility and range of motion a lot though) so I had to have a major surgery. I was able to go back to Erica about 3 months later after I finished my post surgery physical therapy and I can honestly say that Erica and My Pilates Body helped me to get back on the mend and become a normal, shoulder friendly, functioning person again.
Now 2 1/2 years after that surgery I am still a devoted patron of My Pilates Body and Erica is still training me! And I'm INJURY FREE!

This is the most amazing studio I have ever been too! It's very spacious and clean and the 360 view of all of the Hollywood hills to downtown is spectacular! The trainers here are so professional and really cAre about you and your individual needs. I have been training here for over a year now and I am in the best shape I have ever been in. I highly recommend this studio to everyone I know. This simply is the best place to feel really great about yourself and be pushed in super positive ways to be the ultimate you. If you want the best trainers , free parking, flexible scheduling and fantastic self worth I suggest you look no further because this is the spot;!!! Love his place!!!

I love training at My Pilates Body. I train with Stacey and she is fantastic and fun to work with.In fact, my sessions go by so quickly!! I see such a big change in my flexibility as well as strength in my core and back. The studio is spotless and all the instructors make sure to disinfect the equipment after each client. Erica is so sweet and easy going.She has no problem letting me stay after my session to use the eliptical. I highly recommend My Pilates Body!
