From the moment you step into the West Hollywood Pilates, you feel a sense of calm. I have been working with Yonatan for the past 9 months and in that time, my body moves with more ease and much less pain. What I truly love about Yonatan's approach is the whole person focus that begins with the breath. He offers creative, playful sessions that keeps the body and the mind guessing. His approach is inquisitive and kind, empowering you to reach just beyond your limit.

I’ve been doing Pilates here for a little bit over a year, and my body has completely transformed. I finally have the posture I’ve always wanted, core strength and coordination through the roof, someone recently complemented me on my six pack!!!I’ve never been athletic or even played any sports. In fact, I dealt with horrible asthma for most of my life and thought I would never be able to exercise or be physically fit in the way I am now. Yonatan has been the most amazing coach and has helped me grow in ways I didn’t know were possible. He is always introducing new things and changing up our routine, which keeps me engaged and looking forward to moving. I never thought I’d actually enjoy working out but now I’ll never stop. Doing Pilates with him is more than just a workout. I feel like it’s somatic therapy. I moved through some really hard stuff this year and the consistency of my Pilates practice has helped me sustain all of the ups and downs life has thrown on my way. The best part is all of the things I can do now with grace and ease. Sure, the results in the mirror are great, but my day-to-day life and relationship to my body are so much better and that’s what counts the most.

I’ve been doing pilates with Yonatan for almost a year now and I am truly transformed. I went in with little knowledge of pilates, only knowing I needed to find something to help improve my fitness and get me back on track to a healthier lifestyle. He uniquely crafts each class and intuitively picks up on what my body needs. I’ve grown in strength mentally and physically, and look forward to my sessions as the best way to start my week.

Before Pilates, I honestly thought certain things were just part of aging, like feeling more tired, having aches and pains, losing strength, or accepting that there were things my body just couldn’t do anymore. What surprised me most is realizing there actually is a solution, and it doesn’t come from punishment or extremes. It comes from consistent, enjoyable movement and learning how to properly support your body. Pilates has been truly life-changing for me. It’s the first thing I’ve ever stayed this consistent with because I genuinely look forward to every class. I leave feeling stronger, more energized, more connected to my body, and honestly younger in the way I move and feel. I’ve noticed my body doing things I didn’t think it could do anymore, and it’s changed the way I think about aging completely. It’s not just about fitness or appearance, it’s about quality of life, strength, posture, mobility, and having a strong core that supports your back and your everyday movement. What also makes this place so special is the instructor. Yonatan is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and truly listen to your body and your individual needs. Every workout feels personalized, supportive, and encouraging no matter your fitness level or experience. Truly Grateful for West Hollywood Pilates.

Working with West Hollywood Pilates has been unbelievably valuable to me. Yonatan has worked with me to define a movement process which fully meets my needs as I age. He is very understanding and knows how to work with me to allow me to achieve my full physical and mental potential. I completely and highly recommend West Hollywood Pilates to everyone who wants to improve themselves and their life.

I had a really great session. Yonatan is a next level instructor who challenges you while being fully engaged with where you’re at. The vibe of the room with super high ceilings is inspiring and he’s incredibly knowledgeable about the mind/body nature of breath and movement. Very inspiring.

I have known Yonotan for 15 years, his enthusiasm is contagious and he puts his heart and soul into everything he does.

Coming to LA for a few months I was overwhelmed by all the Pilates studios. But when I found West Hollywood Pilates I knew I was home. I loved the one on one approach, and having the whole studio to myself for the hour. It’s truly a hidden sanctuary in the middle of the city where I can focus on my body and exactly what it needs. A hidden gem not to be missed.

Wonderful studio! Kind, knowledgeable trainers who have helped me understand my body. My balance is better and I’m stronger. So happy I found them!

I’d been doing Pilates for months thinking - I should love this, but I don’t. The group classes felt chaotic. Music blasting, instructor yelling into a mic, and I never really understood what I was supposed to be doing on the machine. I left feeling more confused than accomplished. West Hollywood Pilates was a completely different world. The private, one on one classical Pilates approach is exactly what I didn’t know I needed. Everything is explained clearly, the environment is calm, and for the first time I actually understand my body and how to work with it. I leave every session feeling empowered and accomplished. The peace of mind alone is worth every penny, the results are just the bonus. If group Pilates has never clicked for you, private Pilates in West Hollywood might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

No gimmicks. No crowd. Just the method. West Hollywood Pilates is the best classical Pilates studio, hands down. Pure, focused, private, exactly what Pilates was meant to be. Just me, my body, and an hour to pour into my cup so I can show up present in every other moment of my day. I come twice a week to this West Hollywood Pilates studio and the results speak for themselves. Once you experience private classical Pilates done right, you won’t want anything else.

I’ve been to a lot of Pilates studios. West Hollywood Pilates is in a league of its own. The space is stunning, serene, thoughtfully designed, with equipment that matches the quality of the instruction. From the moment you walk in, everything signals that this place takes the work seriously. Studying classical Pilates with Yonatan, I never feel like just another client. Every session is built around where my body actually is that day. I feel genuinely held and cared for and that makes all the difference. The best classical Pilates studio I’ve ever been in. Easily.

I’ve done one on one classical Pilates at other studios before. But there’s a difference, at most places, even private sessions share the floor with other clients. The studio is never really yours. At West Hollywood Pilates it is. The entire space is yours for the hour. That level of privacy changes everything. The session is completely tailored to my body and my needs, and I can focus without distraction. It feels less like a workout and more like a dedicated hour of care. Once you’ve experienced truly private Pilates in West Hollywood, it’s hard to go back to anything else.

The moment I walked into West Hollywood Pilates, I stopped in my tracks. The studio is stunning, tranquil, thoughtfully designed, and unlike any fitness space I’d ever been in. I felt at home immediately. But the real surprise was what studying classical Pilates here did for me. I’m stronger, more flexible, and somehow I feel it in my soul. Every session weaves in breathwork and meditation, so I leave feeling inspired and energized rather than just worked out. This isn’t your average Pilates studio. West Hollywood Pilates is in a category of its own.

Two years ago I was seeing a chiropractor and a physical therapist every single week. My back problems felt like a permanent part of my life. Then I started private Pilates sessions with Yonatan. My posture has transformed, and the chronic back pain that drove me to weekly appointments is completely gone. I no longer see the chiropractor. I no longer see the physical therapist. And honestly? Pilates for back pain has not only changed my body, it’s actually saved me money. Two years in, and I’m not stopping anytime soon.

I’ve been doing private Pilates sessions at West Hollywood Pilates for over a year and a half, and the results speak for themselves. My posture is better, my core is stronger, and the chronic aches and pains I’d lived with for years are gone. What keeps me coming back is how personalized every session is. Yonatan meets my body exactly where it is that day, which made all the difference for someone who used to dread working out. Now I actually look forward to it

I’m a martial artist, and I needed something that would keep my flexibility, mobility, and body in fighting shape. I started doing online Pilates with Yonatan over a year ago and it’s been a game changer. What hooked me immediately was learning that Pilates was originally created for fighters. That reframed everything. I was skeptical that mat Pilates would challenge me, but I was wrong. It’s genuinely hard, genuinely fun, and over a hundred sessions in, no two lessons have ever been the same. More than anything, online Pilates with Yonatan has kept me injury-free and showing up to my fights healthy and ready. For any athlete looking for an edge this is it.

I came to West Hollywood Pilates with one goal: fix my chronic back pain. I didn’t know what to expect, I just knew I needed help. The private, one-on-one classical Pilates approach combined with Yonatan’s expertise turned out to be exactly what my body needed. The back pain that had followed me around for years is gone. My flexibility has improved more than I thought possible at this point in my life. And the moment I knew something had really shifted? I touched my toes for the first time since I was a kid.

If you are looking for actual classical pilates this is the studio to go to. Private one on one instruction, tailored to your body’s needs, in the most beautiful studio space that is both pristine and warm. Yonatan will encourage you to refine your practice and guide you through every movement. If you're serious about pilates & ready to transform your body West Hollywood Pilates is the place to be. Could not recommend this enough.

I came in for an intro session, and working with Yonatan was amazing. He gave me a great workout and taught me about the history of Pilates as I moved. I felt very empowered in our session, and left feeling taller and more in alignment. After that first session I was hooked, and have been coming twice a week since. If you’re in LA and looking for pilates in West Hollywood that’s thoughtful and not trendy or rushed, I can’t recommend this place enough!!

I have tried many studios around town, and often felt like Pilates group classes were hard to follow, and I wasn’t getting it. I truly love my sessions at West Hollywood Pilates! Yonatan is incredibly knowledgeable and deeply committed to authentic classical Pilates. It’s always one on one, the way Pilates is supposed to be taught. There’s definitely nothing else like it in the area. My workouts here are always challenging and fun, and I feel like my mind gets as much of a workout as my body. Yonatan gives lots of hands-on corrections and adjustments – he really understands how bodies move and how to help you get the most out of every exercise. I always leave feeling encouraged, stronger, and that I’m making progress. If you want real classical Pilates in a private environment with an expert who cares, there is no better place.

I’ve been coming to Yonatan for a few years now. Initially I came in because I had a shoulder injury that I couldn’t seem to get past. Not only did he help me heal my shoulder but now my core is really strong, and I’m more flexible than ever. I also really love the one on one approach, it feels like this practice meets me where I’m at in each session. The studio is really beautiful, clean and full of natural light. I highly recommend coming here!

As a father of two I’m committed to feeling as good as I possibly can in my body so I can play with my kids without slowing down. Since finding this studio my core has gotten much stronger, back pain is gone and I just feel more connected to my body. This is Pilates done right. Slow, intentional, and effective. If you want truly private pilates in West Hollywood, this is the spot.

The level of care here is unmatched. Easily the best private classical Pilates I’ve experienced, especially if you’re rehabbing or rebuilding strength (as I’ve been). My shoulder was injured lifting, through careful attention and mindful movements I have been able to rehab it back to what it once was…I’m even doing pull ups again!! Thank you West Hollywood Pilates, you came at the right time.

If you’re looking for a cozy Pilates studio just off of Melrose, this studio is IT. West Hollywood Pilates offers true private classical Pilates, not rushed group classes. Every session feels intentional and tailored to my body. I’ve done Pilates for many years and this is the best studio I’ve ever experienced. Yonatan blends breathwork and meditation with classical Pilates. Such a powerful combination.

I live nearby and had been searching forever for Pilates in Hancock Park that felt personal and not overcrowded. West Hollywood Pilates is absolutely worth the short drive. The private classical Pilates sessions are thoughtful, calm, and incredibly effective. My back feels stronger than ever, and I’m standing straight like never before.

The space is absolutely stunning! It’s peaceful, clean, and grounding. You can really focus and concentrate there. I love the one on one attention and Yonatan’s focus on posture and alignment makes my body feel amazing. If you’re overwhelmed by big studios and group classes, West Hollywood Pilates is such a refreshing space to be in. Highly recommended.

Pilates with Yonaton is great. He knows a variety of methods and how to get the most out of every piece of pilates equipment. He takes into consideration each individual and makes it a meaningful experience. I would highly recommend taking a private pilates with Yonaton.

I always feel seen and supported here. West Hollywood Pilates has helped me reconnect with my body in a way I didn’t expect. Yonatan has not only taught me to connect with my body, but has also encouraged me to develop a loving relationship with it. I’m stronger in my body, more confident in my mind and more resilient in my spirit. Thank you West Hollywood Pilates, you’re so much more than just a Pilates studio.

After my pregnancy I was looking for classical pilates in my neighborhood and found this studio by chance. So glad I did. The work is subtle but powerful, and I feel better in my body every week. My posture is better than ever, and my core strength is back! As a postpartum mom being able to move my body effortlessly is a must, and this practice has really made all the difference.

Such a calm, welcoming space. West Hollywood Pilates feels very different from big group studios. The classical Pilates approach really works, and the private sessions are worth every penny.

Truly some of the best Pilates I’ve done, and I’ve tried a lot of other spots before. The instruction is great, the vibe is easy and relaxed and you actually feel the changes in your body. West Hollywood Pilates is GEM and Yonatan is the real deal. He’s calm, focused, and super attentive.

This is truly the best private classical pilates experience I’ve had. The sessions are intentional and deeply effective. My posture and core strength have improved so much

Hands down the best private classical pilates I’ve ever done. The attention to detail is incredible and I always leave feeling stronger and lighter, not exhausted. Highly recommend West Hollywood Pilates.

I started coming here for Pilates to recover from a low back injury and I’m honestly amazed by the progress I’ve made. Everything is tailored to me and feels safe in my body. If you’re looking to regain strength and confidence in your body, this is the place.

I tried a number of different Pilates locations before landing at West Hollywood Pilates. It’s remarkably hard to find a great classical teacher in Los Angeles—but Yonatan is just that. He’s knowledgeable, intuitive, and somehow both rigorous and gentle. Highly recommend. Fabulous music, too.

I tried to look over the website to see what they offer, but the screen for signing up to the newsletter and offers just kept kicking me off other pages, so I could never review what they offer. I couldn't close the page and get back to other pages, either. I one starred them because the website is so predatory. Bummer.

I must say that Jamie and Yonatan’s studio is by far the best place I have worked out for both body and soul. Not only are they warm and compassionate, their knowledge is off the charts. I love it so much I drive 40 miles each way. Literally life changing!!!

Yonatan & Jaime are both incredible — highly recommend

I had done Pilates a number of times before this session - I’m not super experienced in it but also not a complete novice. I loved it! Yonatan is clearly passionate about Pilates, he’s very knowledgeable about the history and development of this exercise modality and I felt like I understood his directions with a great degree of depth because of all the context he was giving me about the movements we were practicing. This was a private session, the facility was impeccable and very comfortable/inviting/warm, there’s lots of natural light and it felt good to be there. The Pilates gear was all top notch, worked great and seemed very new. Amazing experience, I highly recommend!

This was my second experience with Pilates in general. However, working with Yonatan was a much more profound experience than my first experience at a different studio. Yonatan made sure to first understand me, my physical limitations, and my needs to physically get where I need to be. He then explained in detail the exercises and what they would do to help my over physical health and ultimately my over all well being. It’s now two days later and I feel energized with strong, constant energy , and my normal aches and pains as a drummer have lessened. Highly recommended!!

I really loved my experience here for a private pilates session with Yonatan. His intuitiveness pushed me and his patience supported me in ways that you don't get in a group class. Thanks so much!

I absolutely loved my Pilates session with Yonaton. From the private setting, attention to detail, the skilled direction, the breathing and perfect music choices, I would highly recommend this experience.

I absolutely love working with Yonatan! He is kind, motivating, and extremely knowledgeable in his work! I always leave feeling better than when I came in, and eager to come back! The transformation I've seen in myself since starting with him has been beautiful. He is great for the body, mind, and soul. I am so grateful for him. I'm excited to see where my pilates journey will go!

I don't think I actually understood the full scope of what Pilates has to offer until starting one-on-one sessions at West Hollywood Pilates. Right from the first session Yonatan quoted Joseph Pilates' "In 10 sessions you'll feel the difference, in 20 sessions you'll see the difference, and in 30 sessions you'll have a whole new body". At about a dozen sessions in I'm already feeling more aligned in my body, my posture has changed, I feel stronger and all the minor aches and pains I lived with have dissipated. Yonatan's approach merges breathwork and meditation into the sessions and offers a challenge while respecting the process. I couldn't recommend these sessions enough.

Yonatan has a very beautiful approach when teaching Pilates that really resonated with me. As soon as I started working with him I knew that this would be a different experience from any other Pilates instruction I had previous received. His vast knowledge of the body and its systems and his ability to tap into your energy make for a very potent session wether it is more intense one day or more gentle another day, He tailors the class based on what you need at that moment and has a knowingness of where the medicine will be. Very grateful for this training.

My wife Danielle has referred me to Yonatan which has been nothing short of life changing. His expertise, enthusiasm, and dedication to teaching stands out. If you are seeking a Pilates instructor who will not only transform your fitness but also ignite a genuine love for the practice, I wholeheartedly recommend Yonatan. He has my highest praise and gratitude for the positive impact that he has on my journey to a fitter and more balanced life. Moreover, he has shared valuable insights into the principles of Pilates, promoting a deeper understanding of the practice and its benefits beyond the physical aspect. His passion for Pilates extends beyond his studio, inspiring me to incorporate mindful movement into my daily life.

I highly recommend West Hollywood Pilates for anyone looking for private sessions. I have been working with Yonatan for the past year. My goals have been to gain muscle, flexibility and strength, all of which I have accomplished. He’s an amazing teacher who puts a great deal of emphasis on proper form and technique. Each session is creatively different from the one before and always super challenging. The studio is extremely clean with the newest Contrology equipment and located in the heart of weho. Parking is always extremely easy and convenient.

My body has transformed since I began to work with Yonatan. I have been doing Pilates for 16 years, and have only worked with classical Pilates instructors. Yonatan‘s approach is so thoughtful and personalized. I am so glad with my results so far, and really enjoying my continued path on strengthening and flexibility.
