Bodyline Pilates

I always appreciate classes with Maria Leone. The exercises chosen and sequences created are consistently very thoughtful as they build upon each other and often lead to more complex variations later in the class that incorporate the many elements explored. This approach allows for a feeling of flow, letting each class tell a story, so by the time the class comes to a close, there is a deep sense of accomplishment. Maria is always generous with her attention, acknowledging both students within the studio and online. Originally trained in Contemporary Pilates, I have learned so much from Maria Leone about how to offer modern explorations of pilates while still honoring the classical intentions. Thank you.

As a studio owner in Montreal myself, I truly love that they offer virtual classes. Maria is a fantastic instructor—she gives thoughtful feedback even while I’m taking the classes online. It’s a very welcoming community that’s always open to sharing knowledge. Highly recommend.

THE BEST STUDIO IN LA!!! Received all my Balanced Body training and certification with Maria…BEST DECISION EVER. Whenever I say that I was trained under Maria, studios immediately are interested. I truly believe that I have such an amazingly strong skill set for the foundations of traditional pilates because of Maria. She is a tough cookie, but in such a great way lol. She expects her students to be the best version of themselves at all times, which will only benefit each of us as instructors. I also give genuine thanks to Miku for all of her top notch training and mentorship. Miku saw me through the ups and downs, and each step she encouraged me to keep my eye on the prize.I would not be the instructor that I am without her. Truly and honestly. Collete, who is also such a fantastic trainer, always taught and inspired me to push my body to levels I did not think were possible. Her strength and dedication for movement inspired me to go above and beyond. I have been attending Maria’s pro class on Wednesdays, which challenge my body in such a great way!! I feel so amazing after her class! I try so hard to remember Maria’s cues and direction during pro class because Maria has such a seamless and flawless way of instructing her students. She makes me want to elevate myself in so many ways as an instructor. Emily’s stretch & sound class on Tuesday nights is such a beautiful way to end the day. The sound bath at the end was incredibly soothing and relaxing. Her calming voice sets the tone for down regulating the nervous system. Shout out to Missy for being my cheerleader, listening as I cry, and keeping me level headed throughout. I absolutely LOVE and appreciate everyone at Bodyline!! Thank you for everything! 💕💕💕

I have been doing Pilates on and off for 40+ years. Bodyline is superb! Maria and Jeff, and all of the instructors, make sure they tailor your routine to address your strengths and limitations (e.g., injuries). They do not take the approach that one size fits all. A unique, very valuable and hard to find quality in a Pilates studios! It never ceases to amaze me how strong and far I have come over the last 4 years. Bodyline is the only place to go!

I have been looking for a studio for awhile. I feel so welcome here. Classes are small and intimate and studio is extremely clean. I am new to Pilates and the entire staff has taken time to show and teach me. I highly recommend.
