Pilates Plus is the optimal workout for quickly achieving a sleek, defined physique. The 'boot-camp Pilates' circuit-training classes are a unique twist on the traditional Pilates technique and have become a workout staple of celebrities and top athletes. Pilates Plus attacks excess bulk in the hips and thighs and tightens the body's core muscles for abs of steel. The intense 40 or 55-minute training sessions, which combine Pilates with strength training, achieve visible muscle definition significantly faster than Pilates or any other kind of Pilates-based workout. Pilates Plus is based on the fact that people don't need more exercise time to get fit, they just need more intensity. The body responds more to intensity than it does to the duration of a workout. A more intense workout burns more calories per minute, and results in a much stronger post-exercise reaction (also called Post Cardio Effect). After a class, you will continue to burn calories much faster for several hours.

My first Pilates class was here with Crystal. She was awesome! She guided me as a newbie and helped me understand the exercises. The reformer was very fancy and high tech. The others in the class were great examples of proper form. I would definitely return for another class!

The class was extremely great! It was challenging, but well worth it. Antonia was an amazing instructor and very helpful throughout the class. The studio was very clean and the equipment was modern and easy to use.

Just took my first class with Sabrina - she was awesome and the workout was great. Highly recommend taking one with her! Her instructions were clear, the class was the perfect level of challenging and I loved her music picks.
The studio was very clean, parking was easy in the lot. Will be coming back!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Brandon C.Dallas, TX13217214Dec 12, 2019
Oh baby this was an AMAZING WORKOUT TODAY!! It was great meeting Ellen today who runs the studio because she does an excellent job. I have been reluctant on trying this out because I always thought this kind of workout was geared more toward women but boy was I wrong. This was a FULL TOTAL WORKOUT, and I will be hurting tomorrow!
If you want a core, leg, and arm workout all in one in addition to a quick, fun workout come try PILATES PLUS OUT! The instructor today (Alejandra) was extremely helpful for me as well because you need to have good form, and help learning the correct movements and techniques. My wife has been coming to Pilates Plus for years now and I am excited to start working out here much more!
I also really like that there are a variety of times to come workout and there are plenty of machines. Bring water and a towel for sweat you will need it!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Great workout! I live nearby and have been to Pilates plus a few times now.
The studio is very clean, the instructors are awesome, very encouraging and accommodating.
To me the classes always feel challenging, which I like, but at the same time I feel like I have room to back off if I need to.
Definitely recommend this studio if you're in the area!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nov 4, 2016
I was very pleased with the customer service here. I walked in through a Class Pass booking for the MegaBurn 40 class, not realizing it was a reformer class. I had never done reformer before this class. When I told Katie, the woman who greeted me and who subsequently taught the class, she didn't give me any attitude or make me feel like I shouldn't be there. She was like, no problem, come on in!
I loved it! It's a very unique was of moving. Using the reformer machine, you feel like you're doing the movements of a dancer on a machine at the gym.
The space is clean and very boutique. Only a stones throw from Santa Monica, you can feel posh in Malibu doing Pilates!
It's located on the second floor and they offer parking ONLY on the second floor. There's also a great health food store downstairs.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Lauren G.Florence, Italy234325Mar 14, 2019
Great instructor, great class & cute studio. Ellen adjusted my alignment & it enhanced my performance. As a fitness enthusiast, I love a great challenge -- she sent it! In each & every move, I felt the BURN & muscles building. I was happy she incorporated some Cardio as well. I also thought it was sweet she rewarded the class with protein shake testers at the end :) I am grateful I pushed myself to take her class! **Parking was easy

Ok so I tried this place and Pilates for the first time on Monday and you know how you are supposed to feel sore two days after... well Whoa! I didn't know i exercised so many different muscles in my body. I had so much fun, I was very much challenged but like the sign in the studio says: if you are not challenged, you will have no change. I'm excited to come back here more often and make this my regular practice. If you are considering a work out in Malibu, YOU MUST try this.
the instructor was super helpful and there is plenty of parking!
Bring your grippy socks and break a sweat!!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Felicia B.Calabasas, CA05Jun 1, 2022
Signed up for a class with the owner and was really excited to try a local Pilates class. Unfortunately it was not at all what I expected. I showed up to meet my friend for class and was 1 minute exactly late after parking in the lot. I walked into the studio where I quietly walked in waiting to be instructed. The owner proceeded to walk up to me and asked if I was signed up for the class to which I responded yes. She asked me if I was new and I responded that I was to which she rudely told me that I had to show up 15 min early since I was new and she would not let me take the class. There were only 3 people in the class including my friend. It was not busy whatsoever. It is one thing to have a 15 minute policy for those who are new which is understandable, however she did not accommodate whatsoever or even greet me with a slight smile. She was so incredibly rude to me in front of everyone. She never told me to reschedule or ever contacted me afterward. She basically just told me to get out. It was a prepaid class and she didn't even cancel the transaction and I was charged fully. Neither me or my friend will be returning and I hope she never treats anyone this way again. Disappointed to say the least.
