"I’ve been attending classes and private sessions at The Pilates Room for the past couple of years. I find all of the teachers incredibly professional and experienced. Every class or session I attend the teacher is fully engaged in the process and 100% committed to my development. The small class sizes ensure that teachers are always able to provide individual feedback while maintaining pace for the rest of the class.  The intimate setting of the studio is the perfect answer for anyone who is turned off by the typical (impersonal) gym environment. The best thing about the studio is the incredible devotion and encouragement of The Pilates Room staff – they make every experience a great one."

"I absolutely love The Pilates Room & Yoga Lounge!  I have been a dancer my whole life and was looking for a way to increase my flexibility and tone up without looking bulky.  I had always wanted to do Pilates but couldn't find a studio.  I signed up for a private Pilates session and was instantly hooked!  I have been coming to The Pilates Room & Yoga Lounge for 2 1/2 years now and went from a size 6 to a 4!  I get compliments on my toned arms all the time....I love it and I love this studio!

"I moved here from the U.K just over three years ago, and had never done Pilates before! I vowed when I moved here, I would give it a try, as I had heard so much of the benefits from doing Pilates. I passed The Yoga Lounge several times, and finally summoned up the courage to go in and talk to someone. I found Shelley there. Shelley is one of the owners, and she was so friendly and encouraging, that she gave me the confidence to book a session with her later that week. On my first lesson, I was very nervous, having never done Pilates before, but she put me so at ease, and was very encouraging. The hour passed so quickly, I loved it. I was hooked! I have been going every week since, and feel my shape and posture has changed for the better, and I am SO much stronger! I have on occasions, had sessions with other teachers at The Yoga Lounge, and have found them all so friendly. I'm so glad I plucked up the courage to go in that day!"

"Since beginning work several years ago on the gyrotonic machine at The Pilates Room in Hermosa Beach I have experienced a notable increase in flexibility and strength, better posture and a happier outlook. Thanks to Karen Zinser for her excellent instruction and her uncanny ability to always know exactly what type of exercises I need each day.The Pilates Room is the perfect combination of specialized fitness training and a warm encouraging environment.  I highly recommend it!"

"Bearing in mind that I have no motivation for exercise, and am about as flexible as a railway tie, I called Shelley prior to signing on, to make sure she understood that I needed to a) see a difference in six weeks (school reunion) and b) be hooked, or that would be the end of my Pilates career. It took two weeks for her to work her magic, and two years later, I'm still turning up twice weekly to drive her crazy.. She and the rest of the team at The Pilates Room and Yoga Lounge are a diverse, joyful group of people, whose down-to-earth, welcoming attitudes are backed by a huge dedication and commitment to excellent quality, individually focused movement training. One initial phone call, and they have changed my approach to exercise forever - it doesn't get any better than this!"
