Bliss Pilates At Hayden Studio

I'm an actress living in LA the last 5 years where literally PILATES is ruling the world.. we have instructors who invent their own machines and all kinds of celebs endorse it, its SUPER competitive and the staff at each one are awesome, competing for subscribers. AND THEN I CAME TO VERNON TO VISIT MY MOM... I wanted my mom to come try this as a recovery ... and she was dodging it since last year because "what the hell IS it?". I called another place and got a really insane quote and limited schedule and then I called these guys and literally was able to come to class WITH her, do the class WITH her and all for less than ONE lesson just for her at the other place. Not to mention, ASHLEY the instructor is easily as good a teacher as any of the trainers I've gotten to meet living in the city of Angels. Literally, this girl made my mom feel at ease, talked her through the many (often intimidating) aspects of the reformer and graciously also pushed her to "stay engaged with the core" etc. I could not say better things about this spot... at least for anyone who wants to know what Pilates is all about. GREAT intro lesson and they clearly want to get people to fall in love with it, not only because it was easy to drop in for our trial class but also because they price it well. (In LA all first classes are free). Mom loved it and I'm super thankful for Ashley being that teacher who literally made it such an amazing experience. Thank you to Bri for managing such a welcoming and professional studio!

I used to pooh-pooh Pilates until I tried it for myself. Now, after nearly a year attending sessions at Bliss, I am a believer! Pilates has strengthened my core - I no longer suffer with neck and upper back pain and have noticeably better posture. Pilates has helped me with my weight training as I am better able to engage my core when lifting heavy. The staff are exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. I look forward to going to my classes where I will be challenged physically and treated like a friend.

Thank you Hayden Fitness! A little less than 3 years ago I had my first baby at age 39 and I was in the worst shape of my life. I’ve always yo-yoed a bit with my health and my weight but never to the point where I was truly worried about my health. The way I felt after my daughter was born was different. Getting up off the floor was an effort. At two months post-partem I was ready to do something about it. Mommylicious sounded like what I needed just based on the name. I was a new mom in need of understanding and a program geared for what I was going through. I didn’t know what I was in for and my first class was brutal! Marie gave me modified exercises for my fitness level but even so, it was hard work and I felt it for days afterward. The other moms in the class blew my mind, I couldn’t imagine myself at their level. They chatted and joked while I huffed and puffed but the atmosphere was light and easy. The end of class was always the best and not because it was over, but because I always feel amazing after a hard workout. Tired, sweaty and amazing! Long story short, I did take it to the next level. No more modified exercises, unless it was to make them more challenging. I did lose some weight but more importantly I gained so much strength! I could get up off the floor while holding a 30lb toddler with more ease than I did with an 8lb baby! If our family hadn’t moved this last month I would be looking forward to returning to Mommylicious after I have baby number 2. Hayden Fitness, I miss you already! As my morning sickness and exhaustion made the Mommylicious classes impossible for me, Pilates classes were my savior. My hips would always thank me for going and I might not have worked up a sweat but I still had the same amazing feeling afterwards. I cannot recommend Marie and Hayden Fitness/Bliss Pilates enough. Every instructor I’ve worked with has been exceptional. My daughter loved to come to the studio, sometimes it was difficult to get her to leave, but then she’d been there twice a week at least since she was two months old. I do miss it already but my time there has left me in a better place and more able to enjoy what will be my last baby. What I take away from my Hayden experience is the knowledge and skills I’ll need to keep up with two little ones. I’m a mom who loves to play with the kids and not just watch from the sidelines. Thank you Marie, Melissa and Gillian you always left me feeling tired, sweaty and amazing! Wendy
