Target Pilates Studio

It has been about 4 months since I started doing pilates with Laura and she is awesome. I had never taken pilates before but I had a couple of neighbors who raved about Laura, so I had to give it a try. I have a bad lower back and Laura is always watching to make sure I move correctly so I don’t injure myself. Laura is highly knowledgeable and will adjust workouts based on injuries. I’m so happy that I found her.

As a Pilates first-​timer, I wasn’t sure what to expect. During my first session, Laura focused on getting some basics down. I was so impressed with her attention to detail; constantly making sure my body was in the right positions. From the start, I was so comfortable with her since it was clear she knew her stuff. And I loved that my session was tailored to me.
After I left my first session, I remembered thinking it was much easier than I expected. Fast forward to the next morning… every muscle Laura told me we were working was sore.
My sessions after that have been progressively more challenging. Each building on the foundation we started with. Each time I leave her studio feeling amazing and each morning I wake to that good sore feeling when you’re working muscles you didn’t know you had.
As a testament to just how amazing I think Laura is, I happily make the 25+ mile commute just to have one-​on-​one sessions with her. Yes, she’s THAT good.

I echo all the reviews about Laura and her instructing and knowledge. I have been taking Pilates off and on for five years. Laura is the best. She is always varying the routine and upping my abilities. She listens, writes notes on what exercises she has you perform and adds or lowers the weight of the springs according to how she sees the student perform. Nothing is rote. She explains things thoroughly and demonstrates the positions. The time just flies by. She’s just a lovely person and terrific teacher

I also worked out with Laura when she was in Malibu – Glad to see she’s opened up a new studio so easy for me to get to. She’s smart, collaborative, extremely well trained and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to get back!

Laura is amazing! She’s so caring and knowledgable about the body, she’s helping me take my Pilates practice to a whole new level. I had my first private with her over the weekend, and got a thorough and focused workout. She built on each exercise to take me to the next level, and I felt like we were collaborating on getting the best out of me the entire session.

I loved working out with Laura when she was in Malibu and am thrilled that she now has her own studio. Laura’s background as an athlete and a dancer gives her great personal knowledge of the body and movement and is experience that I think makes her a stronger and better trainer. For me, I appreciated her attention to my injuries and adapting our sessions. This personalization made for great workouts and even better results.
