Pilates
We have a private pilates studio with two reformers and super quality instructors. And we are located in an easy to access location in Santa Monica at 15th and Broadway. Our current instructors are Gina Chai, J.R. Rogers, Donnielle James, and Trine Jensen and they are incredibly well trained. Dr. Weitz oversees the program and is involved with exercise selection and modification for each client’s unique needs.
Our pilates program offers either individualized exercise programs for people desiring a higher level of fitness or Therapeutic Pilates for injuries ranging from minor to more serious conditions and rehabilitation after surgery. Pilates is an exercise system with over 500 exercises which focus on the development of core musculature. The abdominals, low-back and buttocks are strengthened, thereby creating a solid foundation, reducing stress on the spine and the weight bearing joints. The end result is toned muscles, increased strength, and a more efficient body.
