The Best Pilates Studios
in Los Angeles

Founded by Andrea Speir — trainer to Hailey Bieber, Chrissy Teigen, Olivia Rodrigo, and many others — Speir Pilates at 8356 Santa Monica Blvd is a sun-soaked, nine-reformer studio that blends exercise science, functional movement, and a high-energy soundtrack into classes that are nearly always sold out. Reviewers consistently rate the instruction and aesthetics 10/10. Additional locations in Venice and Culver City extend the brand across the city. For a studio that has achieved genuine celebrity status, the quality of instruction on the floor is remarkably high.

Movement Pilates at 400 South Western Avenue is a hidden gem in Koreatown offering truly individualized instruction, where instructors walk clients through each movement and guide form in real time. Reviewers consistently praise instructors Gayoung and Yuna for their exceptional teaching. The studio is clean, well-equipped, and offers the rare combination of accessible pricing and high-quality personalized attention. Free parking in the building is a genuine rarity in Los Angeles.

Flow Pilates operates on the philosophy of 'Pilates that builds on itself' — classes are designed in a progressive sequence so your body and technique advance systematically, not randomly. The Koreatown studio has six reformers and a focused community vibe; the Arts District location is larger with twelve machines. Consistently ranked among LA's top reformer studios on ClassPass and Mindbody. For practitioners who have grown frustrated with random drop-in classes that never seem to go anywhere, this is the answer.

Carrie's Pilates Plus is one of Los Angeles's foundational studios — the kind of place that has shaped the city's collective understanding of what serious reformer Pilates looks like. Founded by Carrie Macy Samper, the West Hollywood studio has trained some of the most respected Pilates instructors working in LA today. The teaching is classically rooted but athletically calibrated, and the space has the kind of lived-in authority that comes only with genuine longevity. For anyone serious about the method in Los Angeles, this is a pilgrimage stop.

The Studio MDR sits close to the water in Marina del Rey and carries that coastal energy into its approach: physically demanding, outdoors-adjacent in spirit, and populated by people who take their fitness as seriously as their surfing or open-water swimming. The reformer programme has a strong athletic conditioning emphasis, with classes calibrated for clients who use Pilates as complementary training to other sports. The instructor team has deep sports science backgrounds, and the programming reflects that — loading progressions, recovery-aware scheduling, and a genuine understanding of how Pilates integrates with broader athletic lives.

Natural Pilates Beverly Hills operates at the premium end of an already expensive market and justifies the price through instructor depth and programming quality. The studio draws from a classical foundation while incorporating modern rehabilitation science, and the ability to work across the full apparatus suite sets it apart from reformer-only competitors. The Beverly Hills clientele expects excellence as standard and Natural Pilates consistently delivers it. The studio is particularly well-regarded for its work with post-surgical clients and chronic pain management.
