The place was clean. Equipment was well maintained. Octavia is super focused on form and keeping her clients safe.

I had a very upsetting experience at Power Core Studio and feel compelled to speak up. From the moment I arrived, I was treated coldly and with a clear lack of respect. Other customers were welcomed politely, while I was ignored and spoken to with unnecessary attitude.
The woman at the front desk was especially rude. Her demeanor was unprofessional and unpleasant. If I had her name, I would have reported her directly, because no customer should be made to feel uncomfortable or unwelcome.
To be honest, it felt like I was being treated differently because of my race. Whether intentional or not, the bias was obvious and painful. Experiences like this are why so many people from marginalized communities hesitate to try new spaces.
I won’t be coming back, and I hope Power Core Studio takes this as an opportunity to reflect on how they train and hold their staff accountable. In 2025, this level of ignorance and prejudice is beyond unacceptable. I will make sure that others, especially those from marginalized communities, know exactly what kind of toxic, unsafe environment they’re walking into. Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected, not singled out or mistreated.

I really love this place, exactly what I was looking for in terms of a stretch class that incorporates the reformer. The reformers here are very nice and Natalia brings a calm vibe to the class.

I had a great first-time experience here tonight! I was greeted immediately by Natalia- I let her know I had a class pass registration and she welcomed me right in. I really liked her vibe, very kind and professional. I was STRUGGLING in class because I'm just recently getting back into physical fitness, but she made me feel comfortable. Which says a lot about her character because it can be frustrating when you're having a challenging time in class and need help, but she did a really good job. She was attentive and made sure the room was a comfortable temperature, the music was good, and she was patient and professional with everyone. Aside from Natalia being a great instructor and business owner, I liked the environment. It was clean and tended to. The class itself was so much fun, I'm already sore (in a good way). Overall I had a great time and would recommend it to anyone. I write all this even after reading the very few negative reviews, which honestly made me laugh because they're just silly. They run a good studio there. I'll be back for sure!

This is one of my favorite Pilates studios in LA. All of the instructors here are wonderful and so helpful. I love how they take the time to fix students' form. I also like how this studio is a lot less intimidating than other ones out there and they are welcoming to all skill levels and body types. The machines are in great condition and the studio itself is very clean. There is also a lot in the back you can access through the alley way. They have classes from early morning to late at night to work with any schedule.

Have been here a few times. I started with a Groupon and then did class pass. It’s always a good work out and they do themed classes.

Five stars for some of the instructors (mostly Erin). 0 for the establishment. I understand you have a late cancel policy, but when someone is literally in the hospital with a dying family member and sends pictures to prove it, you make an exception. And you don't lie and say you will make an exception and then take the class away anyways, and then make them feel guilty that you have to pay your teachers anyways. I know for a fact at 1pm you were able to fill the class from the epic waitlist. They said they would forgive the class on 3/28, then took off the class of my pass anyways. Luckily Erin teaches at club Pilates and also luckily there are a million different Pilates studios in the neighborhood. After she was in the hospital I asked them to remove me from the recurring schedule- they didn't and continued to charge my account. Oh and the other time I had COVID. Sorry I didn't want to infect the class, next time you get covid make sure to come to Pilates and give it to all the instructors and classmates. Makes sense. Regarding the response - unfortunately just not true. Never no showed, I asked them to take me off the schedule and I guess they never did. Nice try though! The response is just as compassionate as the original texts were. And yes I didnt call you back because I don't want to frequent an establishment like yours. I don't care if you offer me free classes to take down a bad review. Also, I am not mistaken in the dates. You can see them being applied to my class packages right here in the picture. Thanks !

I’ve been attending PowerCore Studio for a year and a half now and cannot thank them though! I love taking classes with Erica, Danny and Jacqueline. They’ve helped me immensely and their guidance is greatly appreciated. This studio has created a space for all levels to grow and thrive. Power Core introduced me to and made me fall in love with reformer Pilates!

I tried several Pilates studios in the area before landing on power core- they’re the best when it comes to affordability, availability, and variety of classes and instructors! I paid for the monthly membership with one class/week, and could add a second class for the same discounted member price which was great for my ever changing work schedule. I would often put myself on the wait list a day or two before a class and still get in. And lastly the instructors were by far the best I’d encountered- they were fun, played great music, helped improve our form and made the class fly by. I’m so sad that I’ll have to find a new studio since I’m moving but to anyone looking for a new place, look no further! Thank you Power Core ?

When I first came to the trial class I was skeptical if I would be able to persist, but the service I received from Mentalia and Jason was so good and kind that in the end I purchased a subscription and I did not regret it! What special teachers, each one is different and gives reinforcement and interest according to his personality. In the end I was hooked and I wholeheartedly recommend this amazing studio

As I'm perusing Yelp to find a good Pilates studio, I'm shocked and dismayed by their stupid sock policy. If they think that people's feet are "dirty" then they should require gloves for the hands. As a RN it's common knowledge that the hands carry the vast majority of germs! They're barking up the wrong tree. Not to mention, I've heard enough here about other negative experiences to know this isn't the place for me. Take a chill pill Core Power and watch your business truly blossom! I'm not even interested in trying based on what I've read here. Swallow that chill pill & I'm sure you'll be fine.

I have been going to this Pilates studio for about a month, and I love the workout every time. The instructors provide challenging yet enjoyable workouts that leave me feeling stronger and more centered. The welcoming atmosphere and personalized attention make each session a joy, and the positive impact on my overall well-being is undeniable. I highly recommend this studio.
