dr pilates is a beautiful Los Angeles boutique pilates studio located in the heart of Larchmont Village. We pride ourselves on having the best certified instructors in LA, an available and friendly staff, and classes on the hour, every hour, 7 days per week, to fit into the hustle and bustle of LA life. The mission of dr pilates is to assist all levels of clients in finding the best balance of strength, stretch, and control. This balance of mind and body will allow clients to perform their passion through a transformational physical and personal journey.
One of the most special and unique parts of the dr pilates experience is the sense of community you’ll find and end up becoming a part of. We have seen so many friendships grow and blossom out of the mutual support and comradery that comes with showing up for the same pilates practice each week or even so much as every day. You’ll find groups of people hanging out front beyond the end of their class catching up and supporting each other not only with their practice but in their lives.
