Garage Pilates — Local services in Los Alamitos

I recently tried out Garage Pilates after discovering it on Yelp, where it has an impressive five-star rating. As someone who hasn't worked out in over a decade, I felt apprehensive about my first session. However, Emily, my instructor, was very understanding and patient and took the time to explain the basics of Pilates and answer all of my questions. The introductory package was a great way to get started, as it included two private sessions and two group sessions at a low cost.

During my second private session with Carlin, I was able to focus on stretching, which was much needed after a recent spin class and full-body workout. Having the ability to customize the session to my needs was very helpful.

My first group session was with Gina, a teacher trainee, and it went really well. She was very knowledgeable and took her time to ensure that I understood all the terminology. For my second group session, I attended a Valentine's Day special class with Kristin. Despite feeling sore from a previous spin class, I was able to work on my abs and legs, with Kristine offering adjustments to help me along the way.

Overall, I had a great experience at Garage Pilates and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to try Pilates, regardless of their experience level. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating, which helped me to feel at ease and confident as I learned the fundamentals of...

I have practiced Pilates since 2008 however stopped in late 2017 when my instructor relocated. When I elected to resume my practice in mid-2019, I poured through studio reviews, visited several, which eventually led me to Garage Pilates, conveniently located in Los Alamitos, where I found an extremely well-equipped and well-maintained studio with a welcoming, intimate and non-competitive atmosphere. The Pilates classes offered are comprehensive, and the owner, Kristin, includes yoga and just added bounce classes to complement Pilates for a thorough workout. At Garage Pilates, I found my new instructor, Johanna, who has helped me regain my focus and shares my passion for Pilates. Johanna combines classical and contemporary Pilates to keep our sessions fresh and challenging. I'm very fortunate to have found Johanna and Garage Pilates, and would highly recommend both to anyone interested in starting and continuing Pilates in a comfortable...

Kristin (the owner) is the most positive and lovely person you will ever meet. She has a zest for life that is highly infectious. She wears many hats (mother, Pilates instructor, business owner, social media influencer, and so much more that I cannot list) and does everything with so much energy and grace.

I have taken Pilates classes with her and most of her instructors. They are all so great in their own way. The workouts are effective and enjoyable. 50 minutes go by fast. The classes are small so you get individual attention from the instructor.

I believe that Garage Pilates speaks volumes about how great Kristin is. If you have the ability to pick such a great team and make a welcoming space, it reflects positively on what kind of person you are....
