What clients are saying...
Ok, stop your Pilates search right here. Go to Britta. No one will be better for you than she is. Simple as that. I've had several Pilates trainers over the years and Britta is so, so much better than anyone I have ever worked with. Not only is she knowledgeable and experienced, she's creative and fun. You will keep an appointment with her even when you feel like crap and don't want to work out. You know, for certain, that you will feel better leaving than you did before you got there. She's fun, you still work hard, and she's encouraging (without being a pushover.) You will see results fast. Don't delay, just GO! Believe me, I'm serious, you can't do any better. I've been training with her for years. She's just simply the best, and, you'll have some fun.

After doing Pilates on and off at various locations over the years, I can firmly say that my experience with Britta goes above and beyond. First of all, her prices are fair and competitive, which is amazing for a private studio. Secondly, Britta is incredibly experienced in Pilates and surrounding fields. She very carefully tailors routines to each client, and combines classical Pilates and more contemporary exercises when appropriate or desired. She listens to your goals and really works with you to get you there. I've been going twice a week for the past 3 months and have already seen changes in my body--and others have noticed too! Britta makes it fun, challenging, and rewarding. Lastly and maybe most importantly, Britta is truly a light. She is kind, warm, welcoming, and attentive. She is the best kept Pilates secret in Los Angeles!!

Although I've done weight training and cardio for years, my work schedule and age had made it more difficult for me to stay in shape. Britta has helped keep me fit, improved my posture and muscle tone, and kept me motivated with ever-evolving Pilates routines that she customizes to my needs. She's great!

I have been working out in the gym with weights and cardio for 35 years, I was skeptical of any other form of exercise until I was introduced to Pilates with Britta. My posture, abs and stamina have improved 100%. I'm finally standing up straight which is no small feat after 25 years of rock and roll! I came to Britta with lower back problems and through our work together I've learned what proper posture and breathing can do for your overall well being. I've also been able to incorporate the principles I've learned working with Britta into any sort of physical activity that I participate in whether it's lifting weights, walking or even while just sitting in my car! Britta can be ruthless and push to work harder than you thought possible and she can also step back and lead you though some slow restorative poses that will transform your body....whatever my needs she seems to set the right tone. I highly recommend...

Britta has changed my body!!! I have muscles that I never had before and found a love for Pilates. It has increased our flexibility 10 fold and the exercises are perfectly challenging and ever evolving. My boyfriend and I do duo lessons with Britta at least once or twice or week for the past 6 months and we both look forward to it! Britta is super cool and intuits exactly what we need. We've been to many Pilates classes in addition to our training with Britta, and we find her to be our anchor that keeps us growing and interested, and our bodies getting stronger+more flexible.

Britta is a fantastic Pilates instructor. I started Pilates about 5 years ago and I have seen dramatic improvements in my strength, coordination, and muscle tone. Britta keeps me motivated and interested so I don't feel bored. Each time I make progress she adds a new challenge. I tried Pilates tapes on my own in the past, but I wasn't sure if I was doing the techniques right. Britta balances protective instructions with supportive encouragement. I never feel unsafe or rushed into a technique that I can't handle. I wouldn't go to any other instructor. I look forward to the sessions because I know I will leave with less stress and more self confidence.

Pilates with Britta has changed my life! I'm in better shape than ever. I'm strong, my posture has improved, and my attitude about exercise has changed...I actually look forward to working out because she makes it fun and interesting. Britta has a good working knowledge of Pilates and I feel like she really cares about what she's doing. She will customize instruction to accomodate my needs and to maximize the effectiveness of each exercise. I love it!
-Lisa Ingalls 2022
I never had a regular exercise habit until I was over 40 years old! That ended 10 years ago when I started to work with Britta. Believe me, I'm the last person to advocate anything to do with exercise, but I've enjoyed my twice a week sessions, even though it's hard work. Britta is a great motivator and has great patience even when my old body doesn't seem to want to work. I think (hope) this helps slow the aging process...I feel better and look healthier. Thank you, Britta.

Britta is the queen of Pilates! She helped me get my body back in shape after I had my daughter. Actually it's in even better shape! I'm totally addicted!If you are interested in a workout routine that actually works, Britta is your girl.
-Athena G. 2016
This was the best thing I have done for myself in a very long time- I love what Britta has showed me and I do my floor stuff at home every other day if not more - it's only been a month and I've definitely seen changes in my body, my knees stronger- everything. The space itself is really peaceful and uncluttered and I feel like I can focus a lot more there with her helping!

I had dreaded trying Pilates again because of a short but bad experience with another instructor. I ended up going to Britta for months and will go back soon. For me, she is the perfect combination of toughness , humor and kindness as an instructor. She doesn't let me quit doing a routine no matter how much I whine, but when my back was feeling a bit sore, she would alter the routine to avoid injury. Many instructors are not like that, and they either are like drill sergeants, causing injury, or don't know how to motivate you, vary the routines to eliminate boredom, or let you give up too soon. I got in great shape and actually looked forward to my appointments. I totally recommend her!
