Andrea White Pilates - Santa Monica, California

It’s funny, I never thought of exercising as a path to healing until I found Andrea White Pilates studio. Exercise was something I slogged through to get fit, individual needs be damned. This isn’t the case at Andrea’s studio.

I had an injury that was persistently painful. It was like a rail I hooked onto as I got out of bed each day and unhooked from to go to sleep at night. I had become afraid of my own body. If I moved in just the wrong way, I’d be gripped with this sharp pain that would stop me in my tracks. It made me hesitant to try a new activity or go out for fear the pain would grip me and I’d be stuck in a tricky situation. I was narrowing my world and it was awful. I’d tried physical therapy, yoga, chiropractic therapy, and Pilates at other studios with little improvement. I thought I’d try again and I’m so thankful I did. Andrea and her staff are incredibly knowledgeable about body mechanics. They’re attentive and clear as they guide you through exercises that will best untangle and strengthen your body. I always fee safe doing the exercises and — this astounded me, pain free after each session. I’m almost always pain free now. My world is opening up and fear is being replaced with a playfulness I haven’t felt is years. I needed to heal but was worried I’d further injure myself if I made the wrong choice. I nailed it this time. Andrea White’s studio is the place where my healing began.

After trying several Pilate studios on the Westside, Andrea White Pilates was the perfect fit. It’s small, clean, private, bright/sunny.
A year ago, a botched hip replacement has left me very stiff, weak, aches/pains in knee and lower back, limited mobility, a heavy limp and reliant on a cane.
Now, 3 months of private sessions, with my great instructor Sean (shout out to Fleur also) my aches, pain and stiffness has dissipated. I’m stronger, walking faster (without the cane) and more flexible. It has also boosted my confidence and helps me focus on mindful/conscious breathing.
I can’t live without it now - I love it!

I started working out with Andrea three years ago, initially to get in shape for my wedding. I continued my sessions with Andrea throughout my pregnancy, right up until four days before I gave birth. The results were incredible: a smooth labor where I pushed for only 20 minutes, experienced minimal tearing, and had a speedy recovery. I fully believe that this was possible because of the workouts I did with Andrea.

Thanks to Andrea, I also avoided diastasis recti. Our focus on core conditioning and strengthening the pelvic floor truly paid off. Andrea's understanding of the body's needs and her genuine care for her clients is clear in every session. Andrea's Pilates sessions are the only workouts I've consistently stuck with and I 100% recommend Andrea White Pilates to anyone, especially expecting mothers.

I have being doing Pilates with Andrea for over 10 years. Her classes are focused, well run and challenging. She is always on time and professional. I have been in other classes where everyone just chats the whole time and the workout suffers, so I very much appreciate how Andrea runs her classes so as to be focused on the workout itself. Andrea's greatest strength (among many!) is that she closely watches each person's form to ensure that the correct muscles are being utilized and to avoid injury. Being a dancer in her past life, her attention to detail as to form is amazing. I highly recommend doing Pilates with Andrea!

This is the best Pilates studio in all of LA! Very clean and utterly professional! They stay on top of everything. I love Erin’s classes, she is so, so talented. She will structure each session — strength with balance— so brilliantly that you will achieve things you never thought possible. I always walk away from her class feeling like I’ve accomplished something. She is patient, caring, and a genius at keeping track of your personal journey. She knows how to guide you/switch up the exorcises for maximum effect and no class looks the same. Thank you, Erin!!!!!

My husband and I started doing Pilates with Andrea about five years ago. We started out with weekly sessions, then added two virtual classes during the pandemic. Pilates has made us stronger, more flexible, and improved our overall well being. Andrea exudes such goodness and positivity! She is a wonderful instructor who manages to remember our specific injuries and adjusts the routines to accommodate us. Joining Andrea White Pilates has been life changing for us!

I started coming to Andrea White Pilates in my second trimester. I loved it so much I continued coming for the rest of my pregnancy and came back after delivering. Erin's prenatal class is exactly what I needed. Erin is great at providing safe and very effective exercises for both pre and post natal clients. She also rarely repeat movements so the class is always interesting! I also love the small format because it allows the instructor to tailor the class and correct technique. I can't recommend Andrea White Pilates enough!
