Gold Line Pilates Pasadena

This Pilates studio has become my sanctuary. After losing my mom 3 years ago, it has been super difficult for me to find the energy or motivation to get back into a workout routine. I've been coming to gold line Pilates for months now and I seriously can't get enough of this place. It's the one place I can go to and shut off my mind and get in tune with my body. Not only do the classes leave you feeling amazing, they also leave you feeling so calm and relaxed. Not only has Pilates helped me with my posture, I feel so much stronger in my body. I'm lifting again and take 3 Pilates classes a week. I've never felt better in my life. Pilates not only helped me get back in shape, it's also helped my mental health tremendously. I look forward to every single class. All the instructions are incredible. Huge shoutout to Melissa the owner and also one of my favorite instructors. I can't thank you enough for how your studio has changed my life. Not only does she kick your butt but she'll have you laughing the entire time you're working out. This place feels like a community, like a second family. This place is just special. And worth every penny. I will be a forever client.

i’ve been a competitive athlete my entire life and pilates was something i never tried or considered. i’m often intimidated trying new things, but melissa and her wonderful team have been fantastic guides easing me into this new way of exercising and im hooked. i feel stronger everyday and haven’t had this range of motion since my early 20s.

for me pilates is the perfect balance for what i need at this stage in my life: flexibility focused, low/no impact resistance training. i find pilates challenging but not to the point where I’m damaging my body and never want to come back. i’ve been going to her studio consistently for several years now and i think that is a testament to the personalized attention and care her team programs for me and my wife, and the joy i feel every day i leave the studio: feeling energized and accomplished.

i recently increased my frequency from once a week with Melissa, to 2x per week now working with Erika for an early morning session mid-week before work. Erika challenges me in different ways than Melissa and what I love about all instructors i’ve worked with at gold line is they all exhibit mastery expertise and genuine care for their clients, while offering unique approaches and a personalized experience to help you reach your fitness goals, so you can find someone that matches your style and preferences (while hopefully having a good time doing it)

i highly recommend pilates to everyone i know, and if you are in the pasadena area go work with melissa and her team. you’ll be happy with the results.

I’m so grateful for the care and thought Melissa at Gold Line Studios has put into creating a safe sanitized, beautiful outdoor Pilates studio.

As of March 14, 2020, my 80 year old mother had been going to Pilates with Melissa at Gold Line Pilates twice a week for at least 6 years when the world stopped. I think she was one of the original clients at Gold Line having followed Melissa from a gym when she first opened the studio. Throughout the quarantine year, Melissa showed great care and concern for my mother who is elderly and vulnerable to the rampaging virus. Melissa helped out by checking in regularly with zoom sessions easing the sense of isolation and despair, and assigning home exercises to keep her body nimble and her mind occupied.

One year later with her client’s safety in mind Melissa designed and opened an out door studio. My mom has gone twice now after being fully vaccinated. She was so relieved to get back to her routine. She feels completely safe and virus-cautious and would recommend it even to those not yet vaccinated. Plus, Melissa knows exactly how to slowly and methodically get my mom and other seniors back to last year's levels of strength, endurance, balance, and flexibility. It's the first time my mom has felt truly hopeful in a long time and I'm so incredibly grateful for that.

On a side note, I personally have had several sessions with Melissa while visiting Pasadena through the years and she is not just for elderly practitioners! She knows what you need better than you do and she knows how to push you where you need it most!

Thank you Melissa and Gold Line 🥰

I don't live in Pasadena, so I'm not lucky enough to call Gold Line Pilates my home studio. But I come here a few times a week whenever I'm in town to visit my grandchildren.

I've been a workout enthusiast my entire life, but only discovered Pilates in the past several years. It has done so much to keep my body healthy and strong, and is a great compliment to my distance running. I used to take group classes, but since starting Private pilates my progress and knowledge of my own body have really accelerated. The individual attention makes a huge difference and you know you're performing each exercise with proper form and precision.

I've worked mostly with Anna, and highly recommend her. She's very experience and engaging. Her workouts are challenging and offer a lot of variety, which I love. I've met many of the other staff and they are all friendly and knowledgeable as well. Definitely give this studio a try!

I'm so happy to have found Gold Line Pilates. I had lower back tightness and hip pain that sometimes kept me awake at night. I saw doctors and was told me that I had no injury or diagnosis, it was just "age-related." Discouraged. My physical therapist recommended Pilates so I went to a group class ---not a great experience. I decided to give it another try with Gold Line Pilates. I admit I was at first quite skeptical, but my instructor Anna helped me so much. She was great at explaining each exercise ... I'm feeling muscles that I didn't know I had! I also love going there. The studio is sunny and beautiful and everyone there is positive and supportive. I'm feeling stronger every day! Highly recommend!

Great studio! Professional instructors, clean place, and very nice owner, Melissa, who is very attentive to your needs. They have both Pilates and Gyrotonics. Erik, one of the gyrotonics instructors is an amazing, professional and motivating instructor. Just when you think you’ve mastered a move, he helps you improve even more in order to get to the next level.
Anna, one of the Pilates instructors is great too. She has an eagle eye as to what your body needs to improve strength and flexibility and balance.
I definitely recommend this studio.

I recently started coming here for private pilates lessons. I took group classes years ago, but I get so much more from one-on-one training! It’s definitely worth it. The workouts are challenging and offer lots of variety so I don’t get bored. They have easy online scheduling which helps keep me accountable. I’ve worked with several instructors and they each have their own style and approach but are all super knowledgeable and fun to work with. I often work out with Anna since I like to work out in the mornings and she’s been great. Highly recommend this studio.

I love this studio! I take private lessons with Robyn and she is a great instructor. The studio is small and clean so there's never too much going on at once and you get really close personal attention from the private instructors. It's also a very relaxed environment, I always feel very comfortable. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a more individualized pilates experience!

I recently decided to switch up my routine and give Pilates a try. I have been dedicated to my fitness for the passed 15 years but had not given Pilates an opportunity until I found gold line Pilates. My instructor Jillian offered a consultative and considerate approach given my physical abilities and fitness goals. Needless to say I am very satisfied and have achieved incredible results. I absolutely would refer anyone to Gold Line Pilates. 5 stars!!!

I am in my mid-60s and have been going to Gold Line Pilates once a week for close to a year and a half, following my instructor Anna from another studio. I am not someone who worked out regularly before, except for some hiking. My goal was to improve strength and balance. I wanted to work with Anna specifically because she is so particular about form that I felt there was no way I was going to be injured, and that has exactly been my experience. She is really good at personalizing and varying the workouts. There is a world of difference between 1 to 1 instruction and group classes. I’ve noticed that in the time I’ve been going to our sessions I have been free of the aches and pains I was becoming used to, though there are definitely other work out related aches, and have completely avoided the minor back problems that were becoming somewhat routine. I love going to the studio. The owner Melissa has created a great space and atmosphere, and the easy parking is definitely a plus.

I highly recommend giving this studio a try and when you’re there ask for Jil! She’s the best Pilates instructor I know. I find her very consultative and is extremely knowledgeable about the human body. She helped me work in my back issue! The studio is also great as it provides top of the line equipment. If you’re thinking of taking Pilates classes, I'd say give this place a try!

I've done a lot of Pilates and tried a lot of different places... skip Groupon, Class Pass, and cheap group classes and go to Gold Line Pilates for private sessions. A big part of private lessons is about connection and rapport. The staff is really friendly and extremely competent (especially the owner Melissa), and everyone is genuinely interested in helping you to feel better, stronger, and happier. There are a broad range of teaching styles ranging from traditional to modern, from super beginner to super advanced, from relaxed and restorative to really challenging and goal-oriented. I've learned and benefited from different instructors in different ways. The hour I spend there is a highlight of my week as I'm laughing a lot, dedicating time to myself, and of course, working my butt off.

The location is very convenient (right by Whole Foods!); there is easy free surface parking (kind of a big deal in this part of Pasadena!); and there's easy online booking. The studio is sunny and cheery, and the equipment is state of the art. This is a great place for anyone of any Pilates skill level to make their workout home.

I've had the good fortune to get to know the lovely ladies over at Gold Line. Melissa has created a welcoming and safe environment for those looking to utilize pilates and gyrotonics to improve their strength, flexibility and athletic performance (to name a few benefits!) She has a strong understanding of those who come to pilates after experiencing injuries from other sports and knows the power of a gentle, yet challenging approach. The session I had with Rose was a wonderful experience that left me feeling more mindful and aware of my body. In my session with Erin, she walked me through each exercise with incredible attention to detail. All three have wonderful, upbeat personalities that invite you to want to come back for more!

5 years ago I was lucky enough to be introduced to Robyn. She diligently worked with me during private sessions to help me rehabilitate from an injury. Within weeks, I was back to running and had found a new love - Pilates. Robyn is professional and knowledgeable and most of all, she generally cares about her clients. I highly recommend Robyn and Gold Line Pilates.

I found this golden gem in the midst of Covid when classes were being held outside and I could not be more pleased. Melissa is fun, dynamic and knows exactly what she's doing. She's attentive and even in a full class (which they always are...she's that good) she is personal and thoughtful. I always look forward to class with Melissa at Gold Line!

Great studio with lots of natural light near the Whole Foods in Old Town Pasadena that has both Pilates and Gyrotonic. Marivi is a fantastic Gyrotonic & Pilates instructor that has really helped me improve my overall flexibility and strength with the Gyrotonic Method, which has improved my competitive horse jumping and skiing. If you haven't tried Gyrotonic, it is a fantastic modality that increases freedom of movement, increases strength, AND increases agility. Bonus, they have a free parking lot behind the studio (enter just past the studio).

I never thought that Pilates would be for me. I haven’t had a dedicated workout routine for a couple of years- I’m getting a little bit older (early forties), and I’ve lost quite a bit of the tone that held me over from my high school quarterback days. Luckily I heard about Gold Line Pilates from an old friend who has been a regular for a year, and, though they are in their middle fifties, looks about twenty-five. I was skeptical at first, but the results are impossible to argue with. I dropped twelve pounds in the first month of regular Gyrotonic sessions, and since I have stopped drinking, I’m on track to reach my 145 pound target weight from junior varsity. The instructors are knowledgeable and encouraging, especially Jillian, who seems like a guru as much as a pilates instructor ;). All in all, I can’t thank their team enough for helping me find the inner strength to reach a goal that I was convinced was out of reach.

I took Gyrotonic class here after visiting other studios with less success. Great atmosphere and positive energy. Easy parking in the back Maddy was my instructor, she was great, very knowledgeable and pointed out a lot of thing in my body I was missing. I would definitely recommend this studio.

This is the best pilates experience I have ever had. I happened to be walking by and by chance I met Jillian when I walked in. She is such an awesome reformer instructor. She took a keen interest in my condition and promised me that she would help me heal. I Love this place!!!!

Jil is an amazing instructor... I have availed my self of her classes and private lessons periodically over the last 10 years...
Jil is serious about you getting a good workout without being sore.
Jil’s background in Kenisiology allows her to be very careful as well as caring
I would highly recommend her for either mat or reformer.
