Hard Core Pilates

The best pilates studio in the valley! I've tried many studios before and this is the first place where I know whatever class I sign up, the instructor will be amazing. Sylvia, Melinda, Laura, Leilani, all of them are so attentive and make the class fun while also really challenging. They come by your station often to make sure you are doing the moves correctly and aren't in jeopardy of hurting yourself. Every class is different and I always walk out of there feeling like I worked out every part of my body. The studio is very clean and equipment is all like new with how well they take care of it. I love the vibe of the place and the music is perfect, not too upbeat but perfect rhythm for pilates count. Obsessed with this place.

This is a special studio! I was intimidated to get back into Pilates after having my second child and Sylvia instantly put me at ease. I started with a couple of privates just to assess where I was in my recovery and she was encouraging and motivating. I enjoyed my privates with Sylvia and Leilani and quickly assimilated back into group classes which have been great. Every instructor has their own flair and I’m always sore the next day (in the best way). Something I really appreciate about this studio is their focus on correcting form and tons of clarity with their instruction - you can follow them with your eyes closed. I leave every class feeling a little stronger!

This Pilates studio truly makes my day. Every session is unique, with no repeated exercises, and I feel stronger, more flexible, and happier after each visit. All the instructors are wonderful, but Sylvia is an absolute gem!

Amazing and down to earth studio! No pilate snobs here. I’ve been to many and this one is my favorite. Love Leilani’s classes and personality. All the instructors are great.

Hard Core made me fall in love with Pilates! New to this type of workout and I thought I would be bored. The ladies leading the class are great at meeting everyone where they are in learning or perfecting it. This studio is so welcoming and clean.

The best pilates studio in LA!!! Every instructor is paying attention to the details of your posture, moves, and the body. I have logged 725 sessions in less than 4 years.

Took my first class with Natalia. She was fantastic, took my injuries into consideration and I was able to participate in all the moves / exercises. Really enjoyed the class. Will be returning.

my favorite Pilates studio!! All the instructors are amazing, I love how they all give corrections and pay attention to everyone in class and help when needed. I’ve gained so much muscle in my legs from coming here weekly that I had to go up a pant size (in a good way!) 10/10, highly recommend

I have been taking classes with Sylvia for at least 15 years. First, at another studio, which unfortunately closed during the pandemic and never re-opened. Then Sylvia transformed her garage into a 3-reformer studio, which was great. I was thrilled for her when she took over the management of Hard Core Pilates and have been taking classes there ever since. I have basically taken from Sylvia and Melinda and both NEVER disappoint! Classes are usually challenging and both of these women are fabulous teachers. They make modifications if you need them and always have classes that are challenging and different! I have been to other studios and this one is the best! There's a lot of different equipment (chair, TRX, ball, weights, tower). I love this studio!

Hard Core Pilates has become the only pilates studio I will go to (after trying many). The instructors are really what makes this studio great, besides all being really friendly and nice the instructors are skilled in what they do , they will give clear instructions and demos throughout the class, if they see you are struggling they will help give adjustments etc. I had gotten injured at other studios but always feel safe here! Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful studio where I feel like I am getting stronger!!

I love this Pilates studio! Melinda and Sylvia are both so kind and knowledgeable, and they make every class feel welcoming. I always leave feeling stronger and energized. Highly recommend.

Very knowledable instructors who help corrections and give demos too. Good equipment and variety. Very nice friendly environment

Great teachers (Melinda and Sylvia), big variety of movement. Studio has tower, chair and trx in addition to the reformer so lots of ways they mix it up

The studio is really beautiful, organized and has every equipment and then some. Instructors are very knowledgeable and experienced and really supportive of my individual needs and help to make adjustments so I would not aggravate an injury. Price for membership is affordable and they even offer 3 class trail for $60 which is a steal!! The only issue is parking ... give yourself time to find parking nearby. Highly recommend otherwise

Sylvia is an amazing instructor for first timers! She really keeps an eye on you and makes sure to correct your form for a proper and safe workout. Love her classes!!

My favorite Pilates studio. The teachers are wonderful and they help you so much with form. Classes have really helped my back and strengthening my core from my pregnancies.

I started working out with Sylvia approximately 3 years ago when she was operating only three beds. A few months into that I got pregnant and luckily I trusted her so much that I kept working out until one week before I gave birth. Sylvia and Melissa, both have a special place in my heart. After giving birth I came back to work out once again because I have become so weak. I got back in shape in no time. Thank you so much for always taking care of my body. They are both very professional and also funny. I love it! How every class you can also laugh and have fun.

This is one of the best Pilates places I've been to. Sylvia is amazing! I love coming here and love how the workouts leave me wanting more! All the instructors are so professional but also so warm and welcoming. Can't wait for my next class!

I am writing this review in honor of my 100th class at Hardcore Pilates. I have been doing classes twice a week, primarily with Sylvia and Melinda for the past year. I love it so much that I actually look forward to my classes, which says a lot since I'm more the outdoorsy-athletic type. Since starting at Hardcore Pilates I have much improved in my balance, core strength and my arms are so much more defined. I love that each class is different from the last and it's not that big of a studio so the instructors are able to pay close attention and ensure each individual person is doing their moves correctly. They offer several classes throughout each week and even have private sessions available. If you're looking for something different to change up your workout regimen or looking for a new studio, be sure to check them out!

Great classes and great instructors. You will see a difference and be challenged. I love Hard Core Pilates.

Best studio to feel comfortable and get in a great workout and stretch. Great instructors and a wonderful environment! Sylvia is the best and offers the best solutions for your overall health.

I had such a great experience here. All of the instructors are so sweet and supportive. Everyone is always so helpful and guide you through every workout throughly. The studio is clean, which I find is very important. The studio is near a juicy ladies and Starbucks which is great when you would like to get something to eat afterwords. Booking a class is easy. Thank you so much Sylvia, I always have the best time!!!

Hard-core Pilates has amazing teachers. I've been going there for the past couple years since Sylvia opened the studio. If you want to be challenged take Pilates classes here!

I cannot say enough great things about this studio. The classes are challenging. Each one is different. Sylvia is amazing and pushes you farther than you think you can go in such a good way!! I needed to rehab my back and core after 2 c sections and this has been a game changer for me. Just when I think I've done it all...she comes up with a new routine or exercise. If you want to change your body and heal yourself come take class.

So in love with both this studio, and their trainer Leilani! She gives such clear instructions and an amazing workout! I always leave her class feeling so confident and strong I can't wait to go back!

I have been working out at Hardcore Pilates for 18 months. It has totally changed my life and living a much healthier life!!! All the instructors are 100% committed to providing the best workout and they all care about students well being. They have many classes designed for special requirements and are flexible in changing your appointments. The best part is the workout is intense, exhilarating, and fun!!!

I LOVE this Pilates studio... I know that all the teachers here are great. I LOVE Sylvia she knows just how hard to push you and is always checking your form and alignment. it is just amazing here!!!

great studio! Clean and well equipped with a variety of equipment. Sylvia is amazing, patient and knowledgeable.

If you want an intimate setting with quality instructors and an overall positive energy, Hardcore Pilates is your place! In just a few months, I was so much stronger and my body more toned than ever! In addition, huge improvement in balance, focus, and flexibility. Every single instructor is awesome - I especially love Crystal (she will kick your butt and you will leave loving it), Sylvia/Owner (she pays attention to technique and is wonderful at modifying to meet you where you are), and Esther (she packs her classes with variety and has great energy - you will laugh quite a bit as you workout). All equipment is sanitized after every use. Give Hardcore Pilates a shot - you will love it.

Sylvia has worked my body to the best shape I have ever been in... thank you again, Sylvia...

I couldn't be more pleased with this studio! Sylvia is a fantastic pilates teacher. I have taken pilates from her for many years at other places. I'm so happy to be able to enjoy my pilates experience in this impeccable and tasteful studio. No detail was forgotten! Sylvia is in a league of her own!

The best Pilates studio that I've been to. Sylvia is amazing. I've been attending classes for 2 to 3 weeks consistently and I already see noticeable results in my body. I'm almost hesitant to give up the secret but this place is top notch. Challenging and gets you results. All instructors sure that your form is always correct to avoid injury ...and did I mention get results!

Studio is not enforcing vaccine and masking mandate. They owner is informing people that masking is voluntary. According to LA County law, this is required. Disregarding LA County guidance puts the community at harm.

Love this studio! Sylvia is innovative and each class has a new challenge. I've been working out with her for 4 years, and I'm never bored, always challenged and getting stronger. Studio is beautiful, well equipped and accessorized, clean and inviting. She has many classes throughout the week for all levels with various instructors. I highly recommend.

Hard Core Pilates studio is a GEM in the heart of Woodland Hills. All of the instructors are focused on their client's correct body form and movement. If you are healthy and hoping to be fit or even recovering from an injury, they will help you meet your individual goals. The instructors always keep our sessions interesting, and we are constantly incorporating all different kinds of Pilates equipment into our routine.  The workouts NEVER get boring. Every time I leave a class I feel fantastic, and the rest of my day feels better. I think it's the favorite part of my week!

Best studio ever! Loved my first month here so I just bought my 3 month unlimited membership. Amazing studio with amazing instructors. Everyday is something new with a variety number of classes offered daily!

Sylvia is a fantastic Pilates instructor. Even in a group setting she gives individualized attention, and like any good teacher, she gets to know each client as an individual. She pushes you really hard to reach your own personal best, but she's also aware and sensitive to any limitations you may have.. She also has a great set up -- a beautiful, open air studio-- which feels very safe during this covid crisis. The workout is intense, and Sylvia is a really friendly, likable instructor.
