We’re proud to once again be part of the City Wide Orange Balloon Sale, a Santa Monica holiday tradition that brings our neighborhood together and highlights the importance of supporting local small businesses.
Read MoreThis Thanksgiving, we just want to pause and say thank you. Thank you for being part of the Good Body community, for showing up, and for trusting us with your movement, your time, and your energy. We are deeply grateful for every person who walks through our doors.
Read MoreNot sure what to expect from your first Pilates class? We walk you through everything, from what to wear and when to arrive to how the class actually feels, so you can step into your first session feeling confident and prepared.
Read MoreThe holidays can be magical and overwhelming all at once. Pilates isn’t about “burning off” anything, it’s about grounding your nervous system, calming stress, and staying connected to your body during a busy, emotional season. It’s movement as self-care, not punishment.
Read MoreWe’re making a few small adjustments to our class schedule for Thanksgiving week so our team can enjoy time with loved ones, while still keeping space for you to move, reset, and feel good. Regular classes run Monday–Wednesday, with a limited holiday schedule on Thursday and a modified lineup on Friday, before returning to our normal weekend schedule. Book ahead in FitDegree, as spots will fill quickly!

Read MoreWhen Kylie Cipolla first stepped behind the front desk of a Pilates studio in New York, she thought she’d just landed a job with a nice perk, free classes. What she found instead was a practice that changed how she felt in her body and in her mind. “It was the first time I wasn’t just working out,” she says in her VoyageLA interview. “My thoughts slowed down. I left feeling like I’d had a therapy session.”
Now teaching in Los Angeles, Kylie brings that same mindful energy to every class, blending precision with presence, and technique with compassion. Her journey from curious beginner to instructor is a reminder that Pilates isn’t just about form; it’s about connection. At Good Body Pilates, that philosophy runs deep: smaller classes, real attention, and an environment that feels as grounding as it is challenging.
Read MoreLast week, Good Body Pilates teamed up with our new Santa Monica neighbors, @healthnutla, for a pop-up that had it all: sweat, stretch, and fresh, nourishing bites. Our community loved refueling with healthy snacks and surprise gift cards, reminding us that wellness isn’t just about movement—it’s about supporting each other, on and off the mat.
Read MoreFrom April through October, the Santa Monica Pier came alive every Saturday morning with Wellness & Waves, a free, community-focused wellness series blending walking, running, yoga, and Pilates. Hundreds of participants of all ages and abilities joined in, enjoying the ocean breeze, mindful movement, and a vibrant sense of connection. Good Body Pilates Studio was proud to guide participants through Pilates flows, helping them build strength, confidence, and joy both on and off the mat.

Pilates offers a gentle, low-impact way to strengthen muscles, protect bones, improve flexibility, and support emotional well-being. With mindful movement and targeted core work, Pilates helps women navigate this life stage with strength, balance, and confidence.
Read MoreAt Good Body Pilates, we love seeing new faces in our classes, but not all booking platforms treat boutique studios fairly. While we use Wellhub, which pays our standard class rate, many third-party apps pay far less leaving small studios struggling to cover costs and fairly compensate instructors.
This September, during Boutique Fitness Loyalty Month, we’re joining studios across LA to encourage direct bookings. Every class you book directly helps support your favorite instructors, keeps our studio thriving, and strengthens our local wellness community.
