Mind 2 Body

The equipment is top notch and the instructors are a lot of fun & inspirational. I take the group classes. I have not lost any weight. BUT-I have lost 2 inches around my waist. My clothes fit me differently. Also, my lower back used to ache constantly. It is almost 100% better.

I just renewed my 10 Pilates Private session pack. I cannot believe it's been over 6-months since the first time I tried Pilates at Mind 2 Body. But 

I have accomplished a lot this past two months. Today I was introduced to the Guillotine Tower. Wow what a workout. I often wondered what it could do. I was able to stretch my back like never before. I feel so open and free. 

I like the studio, but it's the instructors that keeps me coming back for more. Kathleen is great for any levels whether you're a beginner or been practicing for years -- I always look forward to her class at 10 on Saturday mornings. Lani is an excellent teacher, her goal is to make her students more advanced -- I really like her Mat Classes, especially Thursday evening. 
I am so happy that I finally have an addiction that is good for me! NO intervention needed and NO treatments required because there is no way I'm going to quit this habit of doing Pilates! If I can go to a Pilates class everyday, I wo... Read more

Mind 2 Body is a beautiful cut above the rest Pilates studio. The owner Lani, a pure delight, excellent teacher, professional, and so personable! Her other teachers Stacey and Kathleen are amazing! The apparatus is new , beautiful the best in town! I'd highly recommend coming to Mind 2 Body, for private instruction or try a group class!

I travel to L.A. for business a least a dozen times a year. For the past six months, since discovering Mind 2 Body, I have been looking more and more forward to these business trips. The Pilates group classes and personal instruction that I have recieved at this studio is top notch to be sure. This studio is immaculate. Its has a refreshing natural light comming through the glass front at all times of day. The staff is friendly and capable. In short, a visit to this studio is both a physically exhilarating and spiritually soothing expirience. I leave there feeling like a new man every time!

Great teachers and a great studio. I wouldn't train anywhere else with anyone else!

I take Gyrokinesis at Mind 2 Body. I dance professionally and it has been extremely therapeutic and kept me injury free. I love this studio and its teachers. I can not imagine studying anywhere else....

all of the instructors and classes are top notch. i highly recommend this studio in the valley.

l love the classes at this studio. My favorite are the Tower & Reformer classes. I really enjoy the sense of community It motivates me. My body has changed and my back and abs are significantly stronger. I highly recommend the Tower Classes with Kathleen! She is encouraging and really cares....

I love this place! Ashley gives an amazing cardio tower class. She is fun and encouraging. I am a faithful devotee. Thanks so much!

I live directly behind the studio. I was a gym ratt. Now I'm a pilates queen. I'm addicted.

I work at Gelsons which is directly across the street. I never had time before to drive anywhere. My friends and I would walk down Van Nuys Blvd. sometimes, but that didn't last long. Now I workout on my lunch break. Thanks

I Didn't think I could ever get my body back after having a baby. Thanks to Lani's promise that I could through her training, my body has never been in better shape after just 6 months!!! Thanks Lani!!!

I have had a passing interest in Pilates for the past five years or so, beginning when I started college. After taking a few mat classes, I acknowledged pilates as a good ab work out and nothing more. A friend recommended to me this studio and more pointedly to Lani Pelino as an instructor. While at first I was a little hesitant to go to a private, one on one session, I really wanted to see the results in myself that I noticed my friend had achieved. Not only did I find Lani to be extremely warm and accommidating, the skill she showed, not only in her instruction, but in her assessment of my level of fitness was impressive and reassuring. I loved the studio! It was bright, clean and had an open feeling that made me feel energetic and relaxed at the same time. Lani smoothly put me through the best work out on all new, state of the art equipment that I have ever had in my life. I am not a novice at the gym and have had personal trainers in the past. Never has my body felt so genuinel... Read more

This is by far the most beautiful pilates & GYROTONIC® studio in Los Angeles. This studio is beyond amazing with its concrete floors and natural lighting. The studio has a men's and women's bathroom as well as a dressing room with lockers to store your belongings. It also has ample parking in the rear of the building. All of the equipment is brand new and like no other pilates equipment I have ever been on before. It has all the bells and whistles! My favorite-the teachers! I have taken classes with Lani, Ashley, Stacey & Kathleen. They are all so unique and give variety to each & every work out. They really care and it is obvious that they love teaching. I can't imagine going anywhere else. I have finally found my pilates home....

“AWEFUL” AT BEST!!! WARNING: DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!! RUN FAST!!! If you are looking to be mistreated; mislead; made to feel inferior; and taken advantage of… CONGRATULATIONS… you’ve come to the right place. Mind 2 Body Studio is the worst of the worst in terms of quality Pilates studios. The owner and sole instructor, Lani, is arrogant, abrasive, cold, unprofessional, self-righteous, extremely ridged and dishonest. Customers and employees (people answering the phone) appear to be afraid of her as treats them like discarded leftovers. Watch out for her false promises and empty sales pitches. The Studio, although conveniently located, is dark, depressing, vacant, dirty and moldy smelling. The majority of the equipment is out-dated and obsolete. It appears that the owner built her studio as some sort of shine to her greatness! For the record, I have studied Pilates consistently for more than 20 years. My practice started in New York City with some very well known and ren... Read more

Mind to Body Pilates Studio is outstanding! Teacher Lani Pelino is an excellent instructor and through her instruction, I feel as though I am changing my shape and tone to reflect a younger and stronger body Lani is AWESOME!!! After having lost 140 lbs I needed HELP. Lani knew just what to do. Her training in Pilates and Gyrotonic exercise has transformed my body. Every workout is different , I look forward to our workouts and to looking in the mirror. Thank you Lani You're the BEST

Mind to Body is best studio in L.A.. Lani Pelino is the most talented, motivational instructor I know! Once you've tried Mind to Body you won't want to go anywere else. Highly recommended.

Mind 2 Body Studio has the best pilates and gyrotonic equipment I've ever seen! The space is amazing! The classes are deep and very effective. You will experience amazing results mentally and physically.

Mind 2 Body has changed my life,mind and body or should I say Lani has changed that for me. She is amazing and tough at the same time. I've always done pilates but she has opened my mind into doing Gyrotonic's and I love it. Please go and visit Mind 2 Body and change your life. She got me into the best pre tour shape of my life in no time. Thanks Lani. Neil The Sleeping Masses
