Frequently Asked Questions
View all FAQsIs the teacher Mia Reynoso or Marie Reynoso?
Both spellings turn up. The site and her teaching credits say Mia Reynoso, a Senior Classical Pilates Instructor since 2004, while the Facebook page and the contact email use Marie. Treat both as the same instructor, and confirm on (310) 890-1107 if a booking has to carry an exact name. She also teaches Yoga and worked as a massage therapist earlier.
Does Pilates Essence publish its rates?
No price is published. Call (310) 890-1107 or email MariePilatesEssence@gmail.com for private and semi-private rates, and ask what a first session costs before you commit.
Can a friend and I book a semi-private together?
Yes, and that is the cap. Semi-privates at Pilates Essence take no more than two people, which is why the studio keeps groups small enough to watch how you move.
Is the studio Gratz equipped?
Yes. It is fully equipped with Gratz equipment, which fits the classical Pilates taught here, and the reformer is part of that. New apparatus gets introduced gradually, so you meet Pilates as a complete movement system. The studio also runs a teacher training programme.
Why is Saturday closed when Sunday is open?
Saturday shows closed while Sunday runs 8am to 5pm, so the weekend slot to aim for is Sunday. Thursday is the long weekday, 7am to 5pm. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday all wrap up at 1pm, which makes afternoon bookings mid-week hard.
Can I take a session online?
Yes. Sessions run virtual or in person, covering both Yoga and Pilates with Mia.
Why is baggy clothing discouraged at Pilates Essence?
Because loose fabric can catch in the equipment. Form-fitting clothing is the ask, plus grip socks or bare feet for traction, a water bottle and a small towel for wiping down equipment. Leave heavy jewelry at home and skip anything with a back zipper, which can damage the apparatus.
Is the five star rating backed by enough reviews?
Five stars across 54 reviews is a real sample for a studio this size, so Pilates Essence has a track record on Wilshire Blvd rather than a handful of early ratings.
