I have tried many studios around town, and often felt like Pilates group classes were hard to follow, and I wasn’t getting it. I truly love my sessions at West Hollywood Pilates! Yonatan is incredibly knowledgeable and deeply committed to authentic classical Pilates. It’s always one on one, the way Pilates is supposed to be taught. There’s definitely nothing else like it in the area. My workouts here are always challenging and fun, and I feel like my mind gets as much of a workout as my body. Yonatan gives lots of hands-on corrections and adjustments – he really understands how bodies move and how to help you get the most out of every exercise. I always leave feeling encouraged, stronger, and that I’m making progress. If you want real classical Pilates in a private environment with an expert who cares, there is no better place.

I always feel seen and supported here. West Hollywood Pilates has helped me reconnect with my body in a way I didn’t expect. Yonatan has not only taught me to connect with my body, but has also encouraged me to develop a loving relationship with it. I’m stronger in my body, more confident in my mind and more resilient in my spirit. Thank you West Hollywood Pilates, you’re so much more than just a Pilates studio.

Truly some of the best Pilates I’ve done, and I’ve tried a lot of other spots before. The instruction is great, the vibe is easy and relaxed and you actually feel the changes in your body. West Hollywood Pilates is GEM and Yonatan is the real deal. He’s calm, focused, and super attentive. I’ve had lower back issues for years, and after a few months working with him, I feel so much better. I’m moving easier, and my back and core are feeling stronger. Can’t recommend it enough!

I came in for an intro session, and working with Yonatan was amazing. He gave me a great workout and taught me about the history of Pilates as I moved. I felt very empowered in our session, and left feeling taller and more in alignment. After that first session I was hooked, and have been coming twice a week since. If you’re in LA and looking for pilates in West Hollywood that’s thoughtful and not trendy or rushed, I can’t recommend this place enough!!

If you’re looking for a cozy Pilates studio just off of Melrose, this studio is IT. West Hollywood Pilates offers true private classical Pilates, not rushed group classes. Every session feels intentional and tailored to my body. I’ve done Pilates for many years and this is the best studio I’ve ever experienced. Yonatan blends breathwork and meditation with classical Pilates. Such a powerful combination.
