Body Rhythm Pilates & Gyrotonic

This place is great! Both Shevi and Keira are amazing instructors! I’ve seen a vast improvement in my posture, the RSI in my shoulder and general well being. Plus, I really enjoy working out here. I’m actually excited to come to class! I feel like this practice is so good for your body after hours of sitting at a computer, this helps reverse the damage. It’s the best thing you’ll do for yourself all week!

It’s been a couple of years, and my workout partner and I have started working with a new teacher named Keira. She is as wonderful as the owner of the studio! She is not only warm and approachable, but she’s also extremely knowledgeable. She checks in with both of us every session, asking us how our bodies feel and if we have any concerns. She addresses any pains or issues we are having and offers suggestions on how to improve. She is by far one of the best instructors I’ve ever had.

I was introduced to Gyrotonic after I broke my ankle for the third time and my surgeon and I were discussing surgery. I was able to go to Gyrotonic and rehab my ankle and no surgery.
Shevi is THE BEST! Shevi owns Body Rhythm
Gyro is a holistic approach to movement that is designed to meet the needs of people of all ages and abilities. GYROTONIC students are both young and old, recovering from illness or injury and healthy. Some of the benefits of GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS exercises include increased strength and flexibility, renewed energy and vitality and a general sense of calm and well being.
My Stomach is the flatest it has ever been and I have belonged to every gym and tried every workout — by Gyro really works from the inside out — makes a big difference.

I had never heard of GYROTONICS before i met Shevi, but after one session with her, i felt my body connecting for the first time to simple movements such as walking, posture, and sitting on a chair. The fact that GYROTONICS strengthens you, is an actual hardcore workout, and builds your core without negatively impacting your joints, tendons, and ligaments, is incredible. People are going to hear about GYROTONICS in LA, and it will be because of this studio.

I really like this place. Came here after having my third child, lost a bunch of weight before but still had those last 15 lbs… I run every day but it didn’t help. The combination of running and pilates did the trick! I lost the excess weight and also got my figure closer to pre baby look. I tried both gyratonics and pilates and have to admit that I am more of a pilates person but both were very effective. I have taken lessons with Shevi, the owner, and with other teachers as well. Always had a very pleasant and productive experience. I don’t stick to one teacher because my schedule is so crazy and I just do it when I have time, which is another reason I like this place, very flexible on time and no matter when I came, the teacher was always excellent.

I came to Body Rhythm to address some physical issues brought on by sitting at the computer all day, as well as having taken up playing the piano — so much sitting while concentrating and using my arms while in poor posture meant chronic pain. A physical therapist had told me Gyrotonic could really help, and Body Rhythm is close to where I live, so that is where I started. Shevi, Body Rhythm’s owner, strived to meet my needs by being flexible regarding payment, and offering teacher expertise levels to fit my situation. Body Rhythm does not, however, accept insurance payments, and even with Shevi’s flexibility on payments, Gyrotonic lessons are expensive. Shevi did recommend a great Gyrokinesis DVD when I told her I needed to do more work at home to strengthen myself in order to better benefit from the Gyrotonic work, and that was helpful to me. I am now on a wellness program at a chiropractor’s office near where I work which is more convenient for my schedule, my insurance can be applied to it, and I am receiving Gyrotonic treatments overseen by a Gyrotonic master trainer. My experiences at Shevi’s studio ultimately led me where I needed to go. Thank you Shevi and Body Rhythm!

I’m an overweight middle-​aged woman with back problems — aka — not a fitness guru’s ideal client. Body Rhythm doesn’ t care … and I am better and slimmer as a result.
I will never be model trim nor in top athletic shape and owner Shevi is okay with this because she is a professional with depth. Her goal is to help me achieve the best me I can be which is too lengthy to explain… but involves chasing hoped-​for grandchildren in my old age.
Whatever your strength and flexibility goal may be, I am confident that Shevi, Amanda and their teams will help you achieve them and more — even if you’re a klutz like me.
Go to Body Rhythm and discover a fit, flexible, pain free/​less painful existence through the proper, small movements that these gals require of their clients.

If I had a subtitle for this review it would be HOPE, FINALLY!
Before I met with Shevi for the first time, I had terrible lower back pain when I stood in the kitchen or sat in front of a computer. After my first visit at the studio, Shevi with her x-​ray vision, diagnosed and started treating my lower back problem. After a few pilates and Gyrotonic sessions, I could already feel my body change, I was able to carry myself properly and even received compliments about my posture.
Shevi is a miracle worker. She has tremendous knowledge of the human body, particularly in tough cases where hope is all gone, she is the light at the end of the tunnel. The cherry on top is that my body started looking toner and firmer after only a few sessions– not to mention, I was able to stand and sit without lower back pain. Before you give up hope, no matter how hard your injury or how painful it is, please go and see Shevi.

I have been practicing Pilates on and off for the last 10 years. Since I’ve moved to Santa Monica I have been looking for a Pilates studio that meets my standarts. Finally, I have found it!
Shevi, the sudio owner is an amazing teacher. She is very knowledgeable, observant, warm and generous. After just a few months I feel a great change in core, posture and overall feeling.
Beyond having Shevi as a teacher, here is what I like about the studio:
— It is fully equipped with all the Pilates equipment — the Reformer, the Chair, and my favorite — the Trapese table.
— I have my own personal program which I practice in the group classes.
— My program constantly progresses to keep me challenged.
— I receive *plenty* of attention, making sure that I work precisely and effectively.
If you are looking for a Pilates studio on the West side, this is definitely the place.

Who knew? Not me! Sure, Pilates is great. But doing GYROTONICS here at Body Rhythm is pheNOMenal.
Would Gyrotonics be as great without Shevi I cannot say but the combination of Gyrotonics and Shevi is the best thing I’ve done for my body in my whole very long life. It’s these stretchy-​swooopy-​power moves that will make you be ahhhing with delight and wanting More. That’s the thing, you’ll just want to do it More and get Better.
Shevi designs a program for each individual person and follows your progress on every single move, correcting, enhancing, adding, even if there are other people in the class. She must have a headband of eyeballs. She also does amazing physical therapy. Three weeks ago my ‘bad shoulder’ would not have let do what I can do today.
If you’re thinking about getting your body to feel really good how about having a chat with Shevi. You’ve got nothing to lose and so very much to gain.
