Love For Pilates Hollywood

I tried out this studio and I have to say I was pleased. I was a little nervous and bothered because a group of us were waiting outside for about 15 minutes because the instructor was late. She explained that the traffic was bad in her neighborhood so I cut her some slack since I know how traffic can be. But once the class started, I forgot about the tardiness. I felt challenged and the instructor made sure we made the most of the 1 hr class. She corrected us when she saw us doing something wrong and was very encouraging. This studio also plays music on low during class, which I appreciated because some studios dont. Overall, I enjoyed the class and will take another. Also, theres a lot but it fills up quickly.

I took Chad’s Level 2 class and was so disappointed. Not joking, we basically just stretched for 40 minutes with maybe 20 minutes of actual work. I would MAYBE call that level 1. Didn’t even break a sweat. Was hoping to be impressed based off the reviews but maybe he’s just an easy instructor. I feel bad posting because he was super nice and positive, but I left the class craving an actual sweat session. Would go back but try another instructor. What a bummer.

Sierra is the bomb dot com!!! Great class, very knowledgeable instructions and amazing corrections;)

I want to say I love this place, and I did for a long time, until recently when I found a mysterious charge on my account from them. I emailed the studio asking about the grip sock prices, thinking the charge was an error or an over charge that occurred when I bought the socks the last time I was there– but the response I got –right away– informed me the socks were only around $ 8 and the charge on my card was much more.
I sent a follow up E-​mail asking about the charge, and I waited, and waited… No response. I resent the email about a week later, it’s been several days and still no response.
Looks like they can take your money but can’t engage your questions when they’ve taken too much.

Love for Pilates is where I started taking Pilates class and I have loved taking Pilates every since. I bought a Groupon here for 5 classes (I read somewhere that there is now one out there for 10 classes). The studio is located in a strip small and since I normally went there on weekend mornings, I didn’t have trouble with the parking. The location is very small, but clean and nice. My first class was with Evan and she was SUPER nice and helpful when I told her it was my first Pilates class. Before the class, she showed me how to use the reformer, what the various equipment is for, etc. Make sure to bring grip socks (if you do not bring them, you can buy them there, but it’s a little expensive). I didn’t bring socks on my first day of class and Evan told me that I can wear the socks that I was wearing for the first class. (But, the grip socks is so much better for using the reformer).
The class itself was pretty challenging, especially for a beginner like me. Evan made sure I had proper form. I felt pretty great after the class. It was definitely a great strength training class. I also took class with Tia and Sloan. Both were very challenging. I really enjoyed Sloan’s class because she added a whole additional level of difficulty to the class, which made me pretty sore, but feeling great after the class.
Overall, a pretty great studio. My groupons have now ran out and I think it’s a little expensive for me to continue on at this studio. But, I am glad I tried I found this place. Make sure to register on the website and reserve your spot for class. The classes are pretty small, so sometimes, the classes get pretty full.

The studio itself is not the most impressive looking, but it’s clean and has many reformers! It’s more about the instructor, and Sloan was great. Definitely will be coming back. There’s also a huge free parking area! :)

I’m in love with my reformer 1 class. I began studying with Evan at the Hollywood location two months ago, and already, I’m noticing improvements in my stamina, posture and general sense of wellbeing.
Thank You Evan!

Incorporating the mind and heart to work the body is what Evan O’teaches. She’s amazing and insightful. Thanks Evan Oneill for your words and your work.

I literally hate any type of physical exercise. My entire life I have been avoiding it.
After getting a Groupon, I decided to try pilates, hoping I would make it through at least 1 class.
I am literally obsessed with Love For Pilates and go every other day. I feel amazing and actually LOOK FORWARD to coming.
I have no explanation except the instructors must be drugging me somehow.

Great beginner Pilates class, the instructor was really helpful and made sure everyone got the most out of the class. They have a ton of Pilates props to incorporate during the workout. The only reason I might dock them half a star was the music — I wish it were a little louder/​more energetic to keep me motivated and distracted from my burning muscles.

I took a Pilates class for the first time
I was very nervous but as soon as I walked into the studio, I was not nervous anymore.
Tia Schroeder, the instructor was so friendly and put me at ease.
It was a FABULOUS class and Tia was so helpful and kind.
I became hooked and cannot wait for my next class.
Also, when I first signed up, Josh, the manager, helped me through the process. He also made me feel welcome and less tense.
Love for Pilates on Vine is amazing and I recommend it highly.

I love this place! I originally got a group for 10 classes for an amazing deal. I tried all the instructors and different levels and classes and I love everyone! Each instructor has their own style and is super attentive to each student since they really want you to be doing each move correctly. The studio is super clean, very simple, and I love how simple the design is.
Evan is by far my FAVORITE! She is wild and you will find yourself cracking up the entire time you are on the reformer. She is super hands on with your body making sure you are really taking time to correct each movement. I am a big fan of her 6 AM Booty Blast class since it’s less crowded you really get her attention. She pushes you and will remember your name, get personal, and always is such an amazing way to start my mornings.
You can’t go wrong with any instructor though — all are amazing! Chad is intense on your core, Sloan is a super badass, Sierra is easy to follow and super sweet, Tia is technical and caring.

Though this studio isn’t the fanciest nor does it have the most pricey looking reformers, the instructors here are absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable and fun to the point you can be somewhat distracted from the burn. I’ve taken classes with Tia and Evan and love them both and found them both to be motivating, attentive to students form (SO important) and really funny as well. There is a parking lot but keep in mind that there is sometimes an attendant that will require you to park in certain spots etc depending on the time and at times the lot can be full as it is shared with other businesses. Love this studio and though I found them on Class Pass will definitely need to invest in extra classes cause 3 times a month here is not enough for me.

This was my first time giving pilates a shot. Guess what, I’m hooked! It was nothing that I expected. Tia was my instructor for my 1^st class; she was very helpful and yet didn’t let me just get by, as it was my first time. By the end of the class, I had a full body workout.
Tia helped keep my energy going while helping me when ever needed while keeping the flow of the entire class moving forward. I’m so impressed at how I was able to work so many muscle groups without the harsh effects from heavy weights on joints and back.
Thanks so much Tia for getting me hooked and a Love 4 Pilates! See you again soon

Love for Pilates team!
Thanks for the amazing work you do and for opening such a great studio in Hollywood. I use to live with daily chronic pain in my lower back, neck, legs, and feet. It was unpleasant and debilitating at times. It would zap my energy and limit my activity. It affected my mood and my relationships in a negative way.
Since taking classes at your studio, I have seen a remarkable difference in my life. The pain in my body has decreased, and when I take classes at least 3 times a week it disappears. I have more energy, can do more, and I’m happier.
I wanted to let you know that taking class at your studio has had a profound effect on me. It has improved my quality of life on so many levels and I’m grateful for that. Thanks for sharing your love for Pilates with me and your students. Your passion and knowledge is helping me heal and I wanted you to know how you’ve helped me.
If you’re new to this studio, don’t forget to bring your grip socks. You can’t take class without them.
Many thanks and see you at the next class!

I had the pleasure of being instructed by Sierra and I was so impressed by the way she is able to craft a very short word picture to describe the proper form for a position without being too wordy or distracting. It is a gift! Her thoughtfulness and economy is much appreciated for a new student trying desperately to grasp the moves.
The studio is spotless, the equipment is new, the instructors are very attentive and eager to help like Tia and Sierra. I really look forward to my classes each week.

I always wanted to try Pilates, so when a Living Social deal for 5 group classes came by way, I decided to try it out!
You have to register on their website. That’s how you reserve your spot for the classes. They offer a good amount of classes at different times throughout the day. The studio is located on the top floor of a two-​story shopping center. You can park in the lot, which is a rarity for Hollywood.
I tried two teachers, Tia & Evan, and did both the Core Burner and Reformer 1 classes.
–Tia was a great teacher! She stressed proper form, gave me proper orientation to the machine and was very patient with me.
–Evan is HILARIOUS! She’s a character! A great teacher as well, who really pushes you and makes the process fun.
The Core Burner class was pretty tough! It really worked my abs. The Reformer 1 class worked a lot of muscles that traditional workouts do not, which I appreciated.

(They do have them for sale, but you can get them cheaper else where).
I enjoyed the classes and the instructors THOROUGHLY!

Horrible business practice.
I purchased a Living Social deal as I was willing to try out some new studios, and bought a package for 3 classes. I contacted LFP and they signed me up in the system to be able to book classes. They emailed a receipt (that I still have) clearly stating my classes expired 3 months later (6÷28÷15 listed clear as day), which funny enough also says to keep for my records.
So I booked my first class, and the class was pretty good at points. The teacher’s energy was interesting, but she did keep everyone focused. Even though I took a Level 2 class, this studio is for beginners, as I wasn’t challenged at all (been practicing for about 4 years). The machines are also on the cheap end of equipment (Balance Body if I remember correctly). However, since the prices of the packages were very cheap in comparison to my home studio, I was planning to buy a small package to mix it up after my 3 classes were gone, maybe try the Core Burn class to see if was more challenging.
Today I tried to book another class, prior to the ⁶⁄₂₈ expiration date and the system wouldn’t let me. I contacted the studio, only to be told that my Living Social deal had expired. Funny that the receipt sent to me by the business itself said otherwise. I was then referred to this joke of a catch all paragraph at the bottom of their receipt with some verbiage about promotions. So why put an expiration date on an official business receipt if it is meaningless?
I thought it was in horrendous taste for a business to not honor a measly 2 classes left on my package and possibly retain a customer, then to hide behind some BS language that contradicted their own expiration date listed on their own official receipt.
I’m sure this place won’t last long if it treats people like this. Hopefully then the teachers that do seem talented, will find a new studio with better management and more than adequate equipment.

Went to my first ever pilates class here and had a FANTASTIC experience! Tia’s instruction was clear, incredibly helpful and she made it very welcoming for the few of us who were totals newbs.
BRING YO’ GRIP SOCKS!

I almost want to give them a 1 start because this place is truly a gem. But I’m not going to be selfish. Here’s why I have love for Love for Pilates.
5 stars for Tia! I’m new to pilates and appreciate the attention to detail and direction she provides. Thank you, class pass!
To be honest I didn’t think I was getting enough of a work out since I’m wasn’t dripping in sweat but later in the day I definitely felt it in my legs. It’s all about core so I’m sure as my form improves my practice will get more challenging. Jumps on a reformer is way harder than jump rope. Stretching is so much easier with a little help from the reformer.
Everything is new, clean and fresh.
FREE parking! Which is very rare and I can’t emphasize that enough.
Don’t forget the 20% promo!
