Santa Monica

Booked my first class through ClassPass. I took the Saturday class at 8 am with the instructor Ali Boyd. Both she and the girl at the front desk were very welcoming. The class itself was fun, the instructor explained everything, and checked on me during class. The room is spacious enough for everyone to move around. The music/playlist was fire! There is a little bit of strength, Pilates, cardio, and stretching- so it’s a great option on days when you don’t feel like spinning or weightlifting, sweating too much at hot yoga class, or getting up on the reformer, but you still want a workout session that's gonna get you moving and sweating without overthinking. Not too challenging but also not easy. They don’t have showers, but they do offer lockers, clean bathrooms, some skincare products, a three-mirror area for getting ready, and a water fountain. Since it was Saturday morning, I easily found parking by the meter outside on the street.

This was a fun workout and if it works for Jennifer Aniston, it should be good. I did an upper body focused class, but it still incorporated a good amount of lower body alongside the short cardio bursts. I appreciated the welcome from the front desk a the numbers on the mat made it easy to follow along. Street parking available or they do validate a portion of the paid garage next to the studio. They have a locker room with leave in conditioner, deodorant, ear plugs, and hair ties available. The class seemed to have quite a few regulars. I did like that there was a good amount of mobility focus throughout the class, so I was able to get some variety in my workout.

I absolutely love the Santa Monica Pvolve studio! I have been taking classes now for about 6 months and should have left this review months ago. I am have def improved my balance and have improved my strength. Paige, the owner, is awesome. She’s always there, which is so refreshing to see, and is always available to answer any questions. She greets you with a smile and is constantly cheering on her clients. My favorite instructors are Tessie, Marie, and Keani – each one brings high energy and a real passion for empowering others. The classes have been a total game changer for me! The environment is upbeat, positive, and full of girl power, which I absolutely love. The instructors are all about supporting women to achieve their best health and fitness, while also fostering a strong sense of community. I definitely recommend it to both women and men – it's been such an awesome experience. Plus, I'm digging the new PWT classes!

Yesterday was my first time taking the class and I was super nervous, as it’s a new workout and I’m just getting into fitness. Kara was my instructor, and she was INCREDIBLE. Super motivating and she made it super easy to follow despite the fast paced steps. It was the perfect mix of cardio and slow intentional movements, and I left feeling great! The studio was super cute, clean, and the front desk staff was very sweet. I will definitely be back weekly!
