Great Pilates experience! From the ambience and decor, to the cleanliness of the place, to the excellence of the instructors, Pilate-ology is an overall A+. The classes are fun, the other clients are friendly, and the instructors are knowledgeable in their craft. They watch their clients' form and correct it if needed to prevent injury. I highly recommend this place.

I am not exactly what you would call disciplined I start every Monday morning determined to eat better, but convince myself I m healthy enough for a cookie...by Monday night. So, I can't believe I've been taking classes at Pilate-ology for six or seven years. I don t know if it s the amazing instructors or the encouraging atmosphere. Maybe it s just the undeniable fact that I feel so much better.

I m old, so the bikini body incentive is lost on me. I m all about balance, strength and flexibility. Of course it doesn t hurt that I can still rock a pair of jeans.
Don t take my word for it. Do yourself a favor and try it. Everyone is very supportive, super qualified and friendly. The classes are really fun. Well .sometimes you want to die, but sometimes the class goes so fast you don t want to stop. Regardless, you will feel so much better, you ll wonder why you didn t do this sooner.

Pilate-Ology is hands down, the best pilates studio in the San Fernando valley! The studio is small, clean and well located with easy parking all around. The owners (Any and Amy) have created a space that is inviting, fun and professional, offering a wide range of pilates based workouts to suit all levels of students with either private sessions or group classes. Simply put, I LOVE Pliate-Ology, and you will too!!!

Pilate-ology in Sherman Oaks may be small in size but is tremendous in its benefits and goal of strength and wellness for women of every age. And the staff is fun.The Amys who own this studio and the other instructors encourage you to work to your daily best never easing up if you have the drive available that day. Correct alignment is of top importance to these professionals, guiding adjustments and recommending variations. These ladies really know the human female body and will explain these many moving parts. Learning, this is key for me. I am a 55-yr-old low impact kind of gal who'd never tried Pilates. So after a friend introduced me to Pilate-ology, I was hooked by the mind-body engagement here. After a few classes, I noticed a shift in body strength and an elevated awareness of my intention for each class's workout. If you lean toward thoughtful strengthening exercise for long-term wellness, and you like to laugh and have fun, try Pilate-ology!

I love the Amys! And the rest of the staff at Pilate-ology. If you're looking for a warm and welcoming studio with teachers who will push you and support you in every possible way, this is the place to be. I was referred to this studio by a friend and committed to a monthly unlimited pass, having never done Pilates in my life. By the end of my pass I was certain that I was going to quit and never do it again, but on my last day when I complained to Amy (one of the owners who had no clue I planned to never return) that I just felt like I wasn't good at this because I was so weak in comparison to other clients, she encouraged me and reminded me that over time I'd get stronger. And she was right. I've had a membership for sometime now, and my arms, legs and core have never been so strong, nor have I ever felt so good both physically and mentally. Pilate-logy is a great studio for newbies and pros -- the staff is super supportive, inspiring, and encouraging, and they've created a community of clientele who are also just as supportive and encouraging. :)

Always, always, always on point. This is the best pilates studio I've ever gone to: a variety of instructors who keep it interesting, always clean, machines are well cared for. I love all the instructors, who I've been working with since March. If you want a revenge body, commit to working with these ladies. Thanks to them, my body's kickin these days.

This is a fabulous, bright, airy & happy pilates studio with a wide variety of classes. Anyone who says it's slow-paced has yet to experience the full offering of cardio pilates and any of the advanced classes. That's what's so great about it--it offers daily/hourly classes at all different skill levels. In addition to the varied selection, the fantastic instructors make each class fun and virtually painless. They are the nicest, funniest, most knowledgeable & caring set of teachers...the type you'd want to grab a drink with later. All the instructors are VERY inclusive and supportive. I've often marveled at how they memorize everyone's name within minutes, even the brand new clients who are only there to redeem a Groupon. If you jump on a monthly package (2 or 3x/week), the per session cost is VERY reasonable and you have the advantage of being able to book the next month of classes several days earlier than everyone else. Highly recommend. This place is a real gem !!!

Simply the best Pilates studio my partner and I have ever been to. We are PIlates buffs and over the last few months we have taken classes of five different instructors there. Not only are the classes challenging, jovial and fun, the instructors are masters of making sure we keep good form.
THANK YOU PILATE-OLOGY!!!

Love this intimacy of this place. Group classes feel like private classes. Instructors and others are friendly. My office, LA Bodywork is only a few doors away and I refer clients here quite a bit. I've gotten nothing but great feedback aboutPilate-ology from them as well.

I absolutely love going to Pilate-Ology. As someone who hates working out, I ve actually become addicted to going to this studio. All of the instructors are incredible and so knowledgeable, not to mention kind and warm. The same can be said for the people that go, there s just a great, supportive vibe to the place. It s not at all sceney or snooty, people come to work out and zone out. I m seeing my body tone and define (which hasn t happened before) and I actually feel strong and fit. I have a monthly class package with them. I m a big fan!

I can't say enough about this place! I had to drag myself to the gym and found if difficult to get on a good work-out routine, until I came to PILATE-OLOGY. Every instructor is a little different in terms of routine and personality - I love them ALL for those differences. Classes are intimate (8 reformers) and clients are loyal - so it feels like a meet-up with friends... if meeting up with friends burned 600 calories and ripped your core. Go now, you won't be disappointed.

Loved the classes and the teachers. Very caring. I saw wonderful results. Haven't been able to attend for a while because I am in the process of expanding my own business which is taking up all my time but I hope to return to Pilate-Ology soon.

Love this place! My girlfriend originally convinced me to give it a try. I'd been doing weight training and some crossfit and hadn't considered Pilates. The workouts are challenging but also more enervating than most approaches to fitness I've tried. Pilate-ology is a great welcoming space. All the instructors are fantastic. We started with a few private lessons with Amy Briede to bring us up to speed before joining classes. She's amazing.

Amazing place, great staff. I had Jena as my instructor, she is very patient and works with each individual's ability and level of comfort. I attended another place on Ventura Blvd prior to Pilate-ology and most of the session was spent listening to the instructor talk about nothing while we were attempting to concentrate and get the most of what was supposed to be a "being in tune with your body moment " not very pleasant. At Pilate-ology the focus is on you. Thank you!

Great Studio, all the instructors are friendly, helpful and really care. They don't just look at themselves in the mirror (seriously, I've known some instructors who just do that!).
They help you in a friendly, non-judgmental way.

As a father of 3 kids under 6 years old and partner in my own personal injury law firm, I needed a convenient way to workout that could help manage stress of life.
From the moment I started Pilates at Pilate-ology it improved my life, physically and mentally.
It gave me time to myself to reflect, it helped improve my posture and flexibility, and I even found myself eating much less and healthier because I was working out for the first time since high school (20 years ago!). Nearly 3 years later I've lost 50 lbs and feel better about myself than I ever have which is truly a testament to Pilates and Pilate-ology.

Most favorite pilates studio. Great teachers each with their own style. I started as a beginner and got in great shape and strong having a good time and not sweating much. Pilates is a subtle workout and there are tons of classes to find at an affordable cost. I love Pilate-Ology. The owners are so much fun (but they really make you work!).

I had never done pilates before, I'm not terribly graceful and I'm a few days older than the usual client. The women at Pilate-Ology made me feel welcome, really worked with me, emphasized the mind-body connection and continue to help me through my awkward stage. Much to my surprise the after effect of these classes is that there's not an ounce of tension in my body, I know I've had a great workout but feel like a bowl of Jello. Thank you Jessica, Blair and Blonde Amy! You're the best!

I have been a member of Pilate-Ology for many years. The facility is fully equipped with reformers, springboards and all the necessary accessories for an excellent Pilates experience. The instructors are informative and highly skilled. Pilate-Ology offers private, small and larger group classes. I prefer the larger classes which are attended by friendly people of various ages. I always look forward to my Pilates classes!
