Better Body Pilates

I have been going to Better Body for almost two years now. Couldn’t say enough how much I love it. How professional my trainer Michal is so professional, she is always so positive and watches my back, which was always my reason for wanting to exercise. She knows all my special needs. She makes every workout a new and exciting experience. I feel 10 years younger, stronger and leaner. The people at Better Body make me feel so welcome, are so positive and absolutely become like family to me.

I have never liked to workout until I started taking classes at Better Body, now I can’t get enough! Every instructor is fabulous. Best of all the class sizes are small so it almost feels like your taking a private. It’s a hidden treasure. I’m hooked.

Better Body Pilates is such a great place! I am a massage therapist that does pain management, and was looking for a Pilates studio in the area that really focuses on each person as an individual, even in a group setting. And let me say… I got what I was looking for! I had Jennifer, and before we got started she asked the 2 newbies (myself and another) if we had any injuries, pain or restrictions that she should be aware of. This SHOULD be asked of every person, but most places just dont do it. So hats off to Jennifer for standing above the rest! The rest of our class went great, and she even tailored certain movements differently to us newbies, as well as the others who were more experienced. I truly felt that I got a Pilates session that was right for ME!
As for the studio: It is a standalone building, which makes it much more intimate, without hearing noise from other businesses or outside noise in the front. Perfect setting! The layout of the studio is really inviting and instantly makes you feel comfortable right when you walk in the door.
If you are looking for a Pilates studio that provides top notch training and makes you feel like a person on not just another body, you MUST check out Better Body! This place is awesome!

If you are looking for personal attention, from high quality, experienced instructors then BetterBody is definitely where you want to come for Pilates. I’ve taken privates with Mari, and even in just 30 minutes I feel like I’ve done an hours worth of work. Her attention to detail allows her to give really specific corrections and adjustments which makes all the difference when you are on the reformer. I would drive 2 hours for a class here if I had to! I’ve also heard great things about their small group classes and hope to check those out soon as well!

Okay! Where has this place been all my life? Just went in as a first timer and felt like I had been coming in for months! Justine called me to book me and also emailed me right away. I also received a reminder email, which I felt was super professional. I came in and everyone was so friendly. The classes are very small, so the girls all seemed to know each other but unlike most classes I’ve been to as a first timer where I felt out of place, these women made me feel so welcomed. I also loved the personalized attention the instructor Jennifer Hookum was able to provide since there were only 6 gals in the class. I was put on a lower setting, as this was my first time taking Pilates Reformer, but I still felt sore the next day! I work out a lot, so to feel sore for the first time in a long time was impressive. One of the women in class, Shanna, told me that for the first time in her life, she wears shorts proudly. I have always struggled with cellulite, no matter how thin I get, and this gave me something to really look forward too. I’m sold, and I will be posting updates! P. S. The owner Mari referred me and She looks fantastic! She definitely looks like she’s leading her business by setting a great example for fitness and professionalism

I have known and worked with Better body for over 12 years. They simply are the best! If you live in the Calabasas area or Malibu trust me it’s worth the drive to Better Body for a life changing experience. If your ready for a better more flexible body than go know further than Better body!

I started taking this to get in shape for a trip we were going on but ended up staying for the great workout and how much better I feel. I love the private instruction to fit my needs. The studio is nice, clean and very friendly. I highly recommend this studio.

I love Better Body Pilates in Calabasas. I mainly work with Mari and she is just great. I noticed that my core has gotten a lot stronger since I started going here about a month ago. The one-​on-​one support is awesome and really helpful.
I can’t recommend this studio enough!

If you think a longer, leaner, more sculpted body sounds like something you’d like to be living life in then you NEED to check this place out!!! Get your own by taking the new BAR CLASS!!! Super tough, but sooo worth the challenge! This fabulous studio has such a wonderful atmosphere & the instructors are AMAZING!

What an amazing place to go for a fantastic workout. As a man I wasn’t sure I would like going to Betterbody but the people there made me feel so welcome and Mari is such a delightful wonderful instructor. She made me feel comfortable trying this new form of exercise right away.
I have back issues and Pilates has really helped me get my life back. I owe it all to Mari and her amazing classes. I love the Xtreme 60 workouts. While other places have tried to copy this from Mari nobody does it better.
I look better now then I have ever looked before and have way more energy.
Thanks Mari for everything.

Better Body Pilates has the classes that will get you into shape fast! The Xtreme60 classes will both challenge and reward you — they will kick your butt! I have worked with a lot of trainers and instructors, and Better Body really strives to develop a personalized program that fits your schedule and goals. The owner, Mari, is really experienced and helpful. Love you, Mar! No reason to settle when you can change the way you look and feel today! Best, Tami

I decided to get fit and signed up for a package of extreme 60 classes here (a combo of pilates and cardio). Wow!!! In just weeks I see and feel a big difference. Unfortunately I can’t afford to do this all the time (it is a bit pricey). But, what an amazing jump start for my fitness resolution!!! Everyone is amazing here and it’s a lot of fun as well.
