Club Pilates

I attended a class taught by Morgan, who is a regular instructor here at Little Tokyo but was substituting at Club Pilates in Monrovia. Unfortunately, my experience with her was uncomfortable and disappointing. Her approach came across as dismissive and elitist. She only gave corrections to certain people while ignoring others, myself included. At one point, I was on the wrong side of the reformer and performing the movements incorrectly. Despite making eye contact with me, Morgan didn’t bother to help or correct me. Instead, she stayed on her reformer, focused on herself, and ignored those of us struggling on the other side of the room. It wasn’t until I stood up mid-exercise to move my box to the correct side that she finally intervened—but only after I’d already started fixing it myself. It was clear that those of us on her side of the studio were left confused and struggling to follow her instructions. Rather than adjust her teaching style to help us feel comfortable, she introduced complicated moves that were difficult to follow, especially for people unfamiliar with her methods. The atmosphere Morgan created felt exclusive and unwelcoming. I’ve taken classes at other studios, even with the owner herself, and she goes out of her way to make everyone feel included and supported. Unfortunately, Morgan’s attitude seems more suited to a studio that prioritizes exclusivity over inclusivity.

I just had my first Pilates class with Alexandra, and it was an amazing experience! She created such a welcoming atmosphere that made me feel comfortable right from the start. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow, ensuring that I understood each movement and its purpose. I loved how she took the time to offer personalized adjustments, which really helped me get the most out of the class. I left feeling energized and motivated to continue my Pilates journey. Highly recommend Alexandra to anyone looking to improve their strength and flexibility!

Ricardo is such an incredible Pilates instructor! From the moment I started my Pilates journey, his classes have been an absolute highlight. He takes the time to queue every movement perfectly, and his rhythm is so smooth, making the class flow effortlessly. Ricardo’s attention to detail has truly helped me grow in my practice, and I always leave feeling stronger and more confident. I’m so grateful to have learned from him, and I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking to elevate their Pilates game. He’s simply the best!

I can hardly put into words how incredible Kelsey is as a Pilates instructor (and as a person). My arms/legs are shaking as I type this, and it's a testament to just how effective her classes are! Every session with her is an exhilarating experience—never dull or routine. Kelsey brings a depth of knowledge that ensures each workout challenges every inch of your body, pushing you to become stronger and more resilient. I rarely feel challenged in fitness classes, but Kelsey is a complete game-changer. She knows how to push you to your limits in the best way possible. Her unique approach makes each class invigorating and fulfilling. What truly sets her apart is the motivation she inspires. I always look forward to her classes, knowing I'm going to get an amazing workout that never sacrifices the core principles of Pilates. I’ve taken classes all over the world, and I can confidently say that Kelsey makes a remarkable difference. Her passion and dedication are palpable, making each class not just a workout, but a source of inspiration. It's funny because I don’t think she fully realizes how exceptional she is. Kelsey truly is one of a kind, and I feel lucky to have met her and be part of her classes. She’s a force to be reckoned with, and her impact will be hard to beat! I want to thank Club Pilates for consistently selecting knowledgeable instructors who genuinely focus on making us stronger and healthier. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care goes into building such a strong team. This commitment not only enhances our experience but truly empowers us to reach our fitness goals. I appreciate the dedication and passion that each instructor brings to their classes!

Great vibe here!! Friendly, professional staff and cool people of ALL ages, shapes, and fitness levels. I’ve been here about 4 mos. and I can’t believe the changes in my health and well-being. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this studio!!
