THIS IS THE BEST WORKOUT IN LOS ANGELES.
PERIOD!
I was a college soccer player. And when I think about the 10th and final day of a two-a-days, in the middle of the august heat and humidity, and being forced to do the hardest sprints uphill.... it still doesn't even come close to the Megaformer workout!
Honestly, it's the best workout in the city. And the Megaformer studios have all the most recent machines, so you are really getting the best action on your muscles.
And as always, I like to write my reviews of this place AS I LEAVE the class. Right now I am sweating profusely. My heart is beating like crazy. And Maxwell, the instructor, is a Mad Man!
One of the MANY great things about Megaformer is that the instructors are all different. So no two classes are the same, but all are equally intense.
I highly recommend having some Pilates reformer experience before you come. That will allow you to get the most out of the workout. But it's not required.
Run don't walk here. And then wobble out. Cause both running and walking won't be...
Read moreThis review is for the SM location but I believe that many of the instructors teach at both locations. I moved to the westside from Hollywood in July and quickly found The Megaformer Studio on Broadway and 4th in SM. First of all, the studio is immaculate. The machines are a thing of tortuous beauty. The instructors are amazing. I am addicted to Journey's class. She somehow manages to slightly numb the pain with her charm, wit and delightful stories. Maxwell will also light a fire under you and he knows how hard and when to push you to really get results. That being said all of the instructors are amazing and will leave you feeling like you deserve that happy hour rosé. I have successfully gotten rid of my back pain due to a weak core after years of being a marathon runner and having a baby (probably mostly due to the baby, good thing she is cute). Get ready to shake like a USCB sorority girl going out to DP for Halloween in the freezing cold October air (go Gauchos!). Oh and don't give up after going once. Buy a...
Read moreThis review is not just for Megaformer, but for the instructor I had. The workout was intense, but rewarding once I got through it. As someone who has only ever taken one other workout class before and who struggled mightily during this class, I don’t think any other instructor would’ve been fit to help me get through this class. Journey is truly one of your best. She’s detail oriented, funny, really funny actually, an amazing cheerleader as we do the workouts, and during the whole process guided me through instruction and various modification so I could participate, even with my knee and shoulder problems. I’m sure the studio has many amazing instructors, but journey is truly a gem beyond compare. Never once did I feel like I wasn’t doing enough during this class, and never once did I feel like I couldn’t do the various exercises. I will...
