White House Pilates Hermosa Beach

White House Pilates is the best studio in the south bay and one of the best I've ever been to in Southern California. There are three convenient locations and a variety of class times and levels that fit any schedule whether you work out morning or evening, weekend or weekday. My personal favorite studio is Redondo because it has a parking lot and is a more intimate studio space with lots of natural light.

The classes are no more than five people, which allows for a very personal experience with the instructor. The instructors are all about classical alignment which eliminates injury and allows you to get more out of the workout. I personally have overcome tendonitis and a persistent lower back injury thanks to taking Pilates at White House regularly over the last four years. Other studios that I've been to have not focused as much on proper alignment and making sure I'm doing all of the exercises correctly and I feel that I'm more prone to injury that way. White House also offers Tower, mat and jump board classes in addition to the traditional reformer, so it's fun to break it up and try something new. Regardless of the class you take, Pilates will make you stronger without making you look bulky, and make you longer and leaner.

I have had many good instructors at White House, but my favorite is Eva; she is so knowledgeable and makes every class unique and different. She is also able to cater to your exact skill level so you never feel like you're taking an easy class even if you may be more advanced than others. Alternatively I think she does the same for those who are newer to Pilates. Sara is also very knowledgeable and I've enjoyed all of her classes as well. Svetlana is another favorite, as she really listens to the clients and tries to make your class unique based on your individual feedback and what you want out of the class. She is one of the more hands-on instructors I have had, which I really appreciate.

Lastly, the customer service is excellent from the owner Caroline. When I've had any questions or a problem with my online account she responds quickly and always resolves my issue. The prices are to be expected from a first class studio, but there are frequently deals. All in all, this has been my go-to workout for the duration of my time in the South Bay, and I have recommended it to friends and family members. It's a must!
