Bodyline Pilates Certification and Pilates Teacher Training

Fantastic experience: This Pilates studio consistently exceeds expectations. After over two years of regular attendance, I can attest to the cleanliness of the space and the professionalism of the instructors. Their clear, precise guidance ensures that every class feels accessible and rewarding. Corrections are made with care, and attention is given to each participant’s form and progress. The environment fosters growth and confidence, whether you’re a novice or seasoned practitioner. Highly recommend this studio for anyone seeking a thoughtful and elevated Pilates experience.

Fantastic experience: Tolles Studio, tolle Trainerinnen, kleine Klassen und sehr persönlich. Ich fühle mich dort sehr wohl. Kann dieses Studio absolut empfehlen.

Fantastic experience: I chanced upon them virtually through Balanced Body certification for my Reformer Instructor training and I must say the caliber of teaching they have and level of expertise in the field is amazing! I have yet to workout in their actual studio since I’m based in the Philippines and I can’t wait to visit in person :) Maria is one of the best teachers for training if you are thinking of taking up Pilates as a career in the future :)

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt one of the best studios i have ever been instructed in . All the instructors are fantastic , really know their stuff . It was a real treat to work with Maria she really is a master of pilates .

Fantastic experience: Been going here a couple month and I really love the studio. All the instructors I’ve had have been different but equally great.

Fantastic experience: Simply the best instruction in the best location....if you enjoy Pilates at all you will love Bodyline.

Fantastic experience: Wow! Did Pilates on the reformer here for the first time in my life and my low back felt great all day, my core felt really strong after as well and I can see how doing this regularly can really tone, balance, and strengthen the mind and the body. I am a Doctor of Chiropractic so you can be sure I will be recommending BodyLine to my patients.

Fantastic experience: crazy great workout!! wanted to work on a 6 pack and flexibility and this is the right place for that!

Fantastic experience: OMG...I will definitely have to say that Bodyline is the BEST Pilates studio ever! It is such a great place to do Pilates. All of the instructors are very knowledgable and you get such an intimate and personalized experience because all of the sessions are very small groups, AND there is complementary valet parking! I would definitely recommend this studio to anyone that works out..or is looking to start!!!

Fantastic experience: This was my first ever zoom reformer class - Lisa made me feel comfortable and included!! Considering I am almost on the other side of the US is amazing. Thank you. I will be zooming again

Fantastic experience: My favorite thing about 2020 is Bodyline Fitness offering virtual classes. I have practiced Pilates for almost 20 years and never have I found a more dedicated and challenging instructor than Maria Leone. But since I moved from Los Angeles to Dallas ten years ago, I haven’t been able to work with her. Her virtual mat workouts continue to surprise and delight me. I love how she brings her martial arts and dance backgrounds to the movements she teaches. She always roots the workouts in Pilates fundamentals. But the fast twitch movements she brings to her mat classes add a special twist that keeps my body guessing. Maria is in my estimation the foremost instructor in the United States. I would recommend Bodyline’s virtual classes to anyone interested in strengthening their core and improving their posture. I would also recommend her to anyone interested in becoming an instructor. Her knowledge of the body is thorough and personal- she is incredible shape which is inspiring. All of the Bodyline instructors are fabulous- I enjoy seeing how each one takes Maria’s lead and add their own spices. Thank you Bodyline for making lemonade out of lemons with the Covid-19 restrictions of 2020 and adding virtual classes to your offerings!

Fantastic experience: I give my virtual pilates class a 10 (best)! I already texted 4 of my friends after the class yesterday! Nicky is super great! I was able to keep up with the class Level 1-2. The instructor was real nice and she followed through with all of us participants, I appreciate the attention/care! The video and audio quality were excellent ❤

Fantastic experience: Hello all Bodyline Pilates students I just had my first Skype private with Maria! It was the next best thing to being there! It is so important to keep up our practice for our bodies and our minds right now and always! This is the perfect way to do that!!! Please do Skype sessions to help you and to help them right now What else have we really got to do? Do it!!!! LS

Fantastic experience: Great studio and instructors! I know the owner and master instructors there and have taken some private pilates lessons. Maria, Jessie and the gang are extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to getting results for their clients. They tailor the private sessions and group classes to the client's individual capabilities and limitations, with a heavy emphasis on human anatomy and what truly works. They specialize in training older individuals and people who might be challenged with injuries or illness, with tons of patience and individual care. It's also a very upbeat, friendly place where you feel the instructors are your friends. Plus their certification training for professional pilates instruction is top-notch. Highly recommend for people who want to tone their body or overcome injuries or illness, and for pilates teachers who want to enhance their careers. NOTE: one of the reviewers below complained about the studio's cancellation policy. But I know first-hand that they show a lot of flexibility and only charge if you cancel at the last minute (within 24 hours, I believe), and even then they often wave or discount the charge with a valid excuse.

Fantastic experience: I discovered this Pilates Studio over a year ago via Groupon for my first series and have never left. After 25 years of private Pilates, I find these group classes to be an excellent, economic workout with highest quality instructors. Jessie has been the ultimate, as far as I’m concerned.

Fantastic experience: Incredible instructors, extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. Very clean and well kept studio. I will not go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Good instructors, good equipment, nice clients

Fantastic experience: I did a lot of research deciding which pilates school (Balanced Body) I wanted to go through. Then I had to do more research to find which studio and teacher I wanted to learn from. I'm so glad I chose Bodyline and Maria. She is generous, genuine, approachable and beyond knowledgable. She also has the ability to teach in a way that is easy to comprehend and if I don't understand a concept or topic she'll stop, think about it and rephrase it in a way so that I can. That's a rare gift. In addition, the staff (Nicky especially) are also so helpful and incredibly kind. I only wish I lived closer so I could come to her studio and classes every week!

Fantastic experience: This studio and the instructors have exceeded my expectations at every encounter. Even the bathroom has super baller status with great decor, hair ties and feminine products. I am new to pilates, but the instructors give really clear directions and enunciate so you know exactly what do do and feel comfortable. If your form is off, they gently correct. And you cant beat FREE vaket parking in Beverly Hills. Bravo!

Positive experience: Been a member for a month now and I love it. Great facilities. Swimming pool is awesome. Staff is friendly. Can't ask for a better gym for the price.

Fantastic experience: Bodyline is the paradigm of Pilates. The owner, Maria Leone is excellent at verbal cues to ensure proper alignment during routines. Maria also understands the importance of modifications based on each clients personal goals to prevent injury and to increase strength, flexibility and most importantly body awareness. This is the best studio in LA and the only place I will take reformer sessions.

Negative experience: once you made a seesion appointment , in case you get life surprises / u get injured and u cannot show up, they still don't care, they will charge you for the seesion , even if you called them ahead of time and try to reschedule. also the rep on the phone repeat her answers like a robot in really pathetic way. they lost my buisness , and I will not reccomannd this place to no one. I also asked a full refund from Groupon of my whole 5 seesions that I paid in advanced. bad costumer service.

Fantastic experience: I've been a client/student at Bodyline for about 2 years now for both my personal Pilates practice and teacher training. Maria is a teacher's teacher and I highly recommend her teacher training program for anyone who truly wants an enriching, authentic and supported learning experience. All of the group instructors here are top notch - not like at other studios where you need to go out of your way to make sure you get into the "right" instructor's class. You're in good hands no matter what time you drop in. I've done all my private sessions with Petia, a fantastic teacher who gave me a strong foundation to start with. Definitely a 5 star business.

Fantastic experience: I came to this studio as a new Pilates student, and the staff was absolutely wonderful! I had obviously never used a reformer machine before, I let my instructor Petia know, and she was so helpful throughout the whole class. I never felt lost or like I couldn't ask a question. The receptionist was great, she made sure I was in the right class for me and made sure I was completely educated about how everything was supposed to go. The prices are so reasonable, especially for the quality of service provided. I met the owner Maria while I was in, she made sure to introduce herself and welcome me to the studio. Bodyline Pilates is not only great for beginners, I have been coming for several weeks now and have moved up to more advanced classes. They are equal parts challenging and fun! The staff members and Maria are so personable, helpful and inviting, and to top it off they offer free valet parking...in Beverly Hills! I can't recommend this Pilates and fitness studio enough!

Fantastic experience: Just added this video to my favorites. The concise instruction and challenging choice of exercises made this video stand out. I hope to see more of Maria's videos in the future.

Fantastic experience: I've been doing Pilates for many years and this studio is awesome. One of the best I've been to in LA. First of all if you really like Pilates or are interested in trying Pilates this is a great place to go. Bodyline is pure Pilates no gimmicks, flashing lights, or crazy loud music. They are really teaching great Pilates here. Everyone is super nice and they'll keep you coming back. The instructors are fabulous. Maria (the studio owner) and her team are clearly very experienced instructors. They are so knowledgable, and they classes are always full of energy and give you a great workout. No matter whose class you take you will leave feeling stronger and taller! I was so impressed with Maria, she learned and remembered my name after only taking 1 class. They really make an effort to get to know everyone and help you with individual instruction even during group class. There is something for everyone here. They offer a wide variety of class levels and class focus which are described on their website. Class sizes are also small, 8 people at the most. The instructors are always paying attention to form/posture and offer lots of corrections to help you work deeper. They also do a lot of private and semi-private sessions here if you want some extra attention and focus. Equipment and facilities are top notch. Everything is clean and well maintained. They have 8 reformers in one room for group classes and two in a separate room for private instruction. The also have wunda chair, trapeze table/cadillac, ladder barrel, and a bunch of other fun stuff. They also have a changing room if you need to put on your workout gear. And of course since this is LA I have to say the parking is great. They have a valet lot that is free with validation, or you can park at a meter on Palm. Would definitely recommend it!!

Fantastic experience: Maria has been a patient of mine for years. Only over the past year has she convinced me to take her pilates teacher certification course, which would enhance my practice. I didn't realize how professional and well taught her certification courses are. Not only was I highly impressed but the certification course I took have allowed me to further help my patients. Her 20 years as a teacher training is evident in her teaching style and over all excellence of her class. If you are a chiropractor, dancer, fitness professional and are looking to enhance your pilates knowledge, I couldn't recommend bodyline and Maria anymore...she and her staff are amazing.

Fantastic experience: I found Bodyline Pilates studio through my wife who told me how much she loves it. I'm really glad I took her recommendation and tried it, the studio is great! All the instructors are really knowledgeable and helpful. Maria gives such detailed instruction that you are really get the most out of every exercise. Very fun and challenging workout!

Fantastic experience: Amazing studio!!! Other studios I have been at were very cramped and I didn't feel the staff was as experienced. There is a very good vibe at Bodyline and the teachers all seem incredibly knowledgeable. Very easy to park which is important to me because I am very tight with my schedule. I have had bad back pain for quite a few years and even had surgery at some point which didn't seem to help. I've used a few different trainers at the studio and they all seem to ask great questions and do what I need to help me and not hurt me. I have see tremendous improvement since I started there; I highly recommend!!

Negative experience: I was very shocked and outraged from the owner's behaviour (Maria Leone) who was also teaching the class I attended today , body core 3-5. I have done pilates for two years in others establishments and had done my first class at body line, the same level of class (body core 3-5) two days prior with an other teacher (who is exceptional - Stephany) where I had an amazing time, with no problem following the class and actually learning something, as it was very well instructed. Adding to this, Maria Leone was very unfriendly and rude, teaching the class in a very negative manner and going extremely quickly not taking any time to correct myself or my daughter who came with me for the class. After my daughter nearly injured herself from falling from the machine as she was trying to follow the class as best as she could, the teacher/owner kicked us out of the class without even asking if my daughter was ok (and she was not!). I have been doing pilates for two years and this teacher is FAR from being recommended. Pilates is not a competition, nor this was a MASTER'S class. I had been told i had the level for the class by the receptionist and I am VERY hesitant in coming back to this establishment, even after purchasing several lessons. Make sure you do not go to the owner's lessons! You will be greatly disappointed!!
