Pilatesblue

From the first session with Jamie, the connection was made on how over-time compensation of muscles were supporting weakness of mine physically and mentally. Her awareness enlightened me to the core!! Within a short period of time, my body craved the deep internal cleanse that had began. I would leave feeling lighter with each session. Strength, encouragement and drive in Jamie's smile touches your core!!

I have been working with Jaime for a few months now, and I have looked forward to every single session. I cannot motivate myself when it comes to exercise, but she is so encouraging, explains so well, and makes the movements so interesting that the hour just flies by. She is really knowledgeable and keeps your mind and body engaged. If you're thinking of pilates, or want to strengthen your body in a way other than running on a boring treadmill, you should go see Jaime. The studio is very clean and inviting, the equipment well maintained, but Jaime herself is the best attraction. She's WONDERFUL and I can promise you that you won't be disappointed.

Jaime is a gifted teacher and trainer who guides and directs my body through the Pilates experience. I have always been athletic and worked out, whether on my own, with a personal trainer or by taking a class. Los Angeles is filled with Pilates studios and trainers, but many cannot deliver the goods. Jaime is a sure bet to do so. I injured my back and not only has she helped me through my injury but she is extremely knowledgeable in doing so. She is trained in both East and West coast styles and is a dancer as well. I love Pilates and have worked with Jaime twice a week for many months. Pilates is an unbelievable workout, and Jaime will work you. I always feel satisfied when I leave and I have become increasingly aware of every part of my body. My body is stronger and more fit. I look forward to increasing strength and fitness and always appreciate Jaime's methodology, her sense of humor, understanding and patience.

As a mover herself Jaime has a great teaching style. You are in constant motion but there is still the attention to form and detail that makes a pilates teacher great. I always feel challenged by my session but leave feeling balanced and refreshed. Jaime brings so much energy to the work that it is really contagious. You owe it to your body to try Pilatesblue!!

I started working with Jaime at the recommendation of my chiropractor because of recurring joint problems. My basic problem is hypermobility, i.e., my joints are way too loose. Although I had been working out at the gym to strengthen muscles to support my joints, I was still having problems. I have now worked with Jaime for a little over a month, and I can feel the difference. In fact, my chiropractor can SEE the difference! My posture has improved thanks to all that core work, and I can carry heavier things. More than anything, though, I feel grateful for the psychological lift I get from working out hard (and Jaime does work you hard!) and feeling stronger as a consequence. I recommend Jaime to anyone out there who has been though physical therapy and gym workout, but still needs some work to get stronger. I think of it as an extension of physical rehabilitation.

I've been to a few pilates studios around this city and I can't recommend Pilatesblue highly enough. Jaime k. Ullman is the best teacher I've ever come across. If you've ever done pilates, then you know that having a professional, smart, dedicated instructor is the key to your success. Jaime is all those things and a whole lot of fun. She's really focused on you and watches and adjusts your every move in a positive and supportive manner. If you're looking for a great pilates studio, please check out Pilatesblue. You'll really like it.

I was new to Pilates when I found Jaime - now I'm obsessed! She has taught me the basics without alot of gabbing and each time I work out with her I feel like I am learning more. She seemed to instinctively know my strengths and weaknesses and pushes me just enough at each meeting. She is also a pleasure to be around - I think I actually like working out!

I have been working out (pilates wise) with Jaimie for about four years. I look forward to my hourly sessions with her and she always makes me feel that I am welcome in her studio and that I am her one and only client. The hour goes by so quickly and I never find myself looking at the clock to see when it is going to be over. My routine is never boring. It is always different and unique. I just love it! I am a bit older than most of her clients but I always do my best and she makes me feel that I am an Olympic bronze medal winner

Jamie has her act down...she really knows her stuff. As clumsey as I am I go out feeling like a feminine balerina. Shes up, positve and will do the pilates that is right for you. Very very personalized. She is the great. Give her a try ....and you'll be back.....and oh..watch your body change.. Susie George

Jamie is is great teacher who can tailor the workouts to each individual. I started with her a few months back and and thrilled with the way things are progressing. I always feel completely stretched and elongated after the session. Highly recommend her to anyone, you won't find a better teacher

I have worked out with various instructors all over the world in many different styles : ie: gym/yoga/pilates- I travel for work. I now travel from where ever I am to see Jaime- she is the Best! my body is stronger. leaner and looks better than ever thanks to her!!

I have been working with Jaime for nearly 8 months and I look forward to every session. She is a wonderful teacher: smart, patient and really cares about her clients. Jaime is also a great listener, who pays attention to each client's needs and works with them to achieve their personal fitness goal. I highly, highly recommend Jaime and Pilates Blue!

As someone who hasn't exercised in years, I was hesitant about getting back into exercise and about trying pilates. PilatesBlue turned out to be the perfect place. Jaime is patient, very careful in her teaching, very encouraging and welcoming to those in good shape and those, like me, who are totally out of shape. She tailors each class to what you can do (and she is very kind - and has a good sense of humor - about what you cannot do). I can't recommend PilatesBlue enough!

I had never tried Pilates until a few months ago with Jaime of Pilates Blue and I am LOVIN' IT! For approximately a year I was working out with a personal trainer, mostly with weights and cardio. I have seen more results in just the fews months working with Jaime than I did in a years time with my personal trainer. Not only do I see the changes in my body, I feel so much better. I had lower back pain for years after having my children and most of that pain is gone! Jaimie is a always a pleasure to work with and knows exactly how much to push me. I have even surprised myself with what I can do! I can not express enough how happy I am that I found Jaime and Pilates Blue. I look foward to each and every session with her! Even when she kicks my butt!!!!

I've been going to Pilatesblue for about 4 months now. And I love it! It's a great addition for any other workout that you do. I have learned a lot about my body and am pretty surprised how pilates works so much more of your body than just running or lifting weights. Jamie is a great instructor. She is very patient and takes time to explain the techniques and makes you feel that you can do it. She's very personable and knows what she's doing. Her price is comparable to other pilates classes and she has a lot of the latest equipments that are needed to workout. She is flexible in her schedules to accommodate you as well. I highly recommend her if you are thinking of taking pilates.

Jaime is a gifted and skilled instructor, who tailors each workout to the individual, meeting me right where I am on any given day, and inspiring me to optimize my fitness. She is creative and innovative as each workout is always different, thereby allowing a true cross training experience and balanced approach. She has moved me from constant pain in my back, to stabilization and strength! Jaime motivates me with her gentle but passionate encouragement to meet and exceed my personal fitness goals.

Having never stepped into a gym or taken any exercise class in my life, I was a bit hesitant going into Jaime's studio for the first time. It's a lovely, very clean studio that she has created and she makes sure that everyone who enters understands and respects all of the equipment (as they deserve!). The pieces look innocent and are impeccably maintained, but trust me, they'll kick your butt. I was as graceful as a rhino in high heels at first, but Jaime was so patient with me and never made me feel as uncoordinated as I so obviously was. She has pushed my body to do things I didn't know it could do, but in such a calm, yet motivating way that I never walk out of there thinking I didn't want to return the next day. If you're looking for a pilates instructor that will make you feel like you're in boot camp, Jaime's not for you. She will motivate you, inspire you and educate you which is why I love my weekly sessions with her and would never think of going anywhere else. I love the w... Read more

I have been training with Jaime Ullman the past few months and I think she is an amazing teacher. Not only is the environment at Pilatesblue extremely relaxed, but I always feel a great kind of energy when I am there. My private sessions are extremely challenging and I'm happy to report that my strength and flexibility have definitely improved. When I first met Jaime, I was extremely impressed with her knowledge of Pilates and her overall passion for her work. Since I was new to Pilates, she was extremely thorough in her explanation of each and every move which was extremely comforting to me. I would highly recommend Jaime Ullman, and Pilatesblue, for anyone who is interested in learning Pilates or taking their current practice to a higher level. Jaime is the best!

I wanted to pick up on pilates and after careful research for a good instructor at a reasonable price, I came across Jaime. I'm totally addicted! She's an awesome instructor with a gentle spirit and a great sense of humor. I'm attending her mat class every week right now. Her private lessons are $70 per session, but the group mat class is only $15 per person-it's a bargain. She explains the differences between NY and West Coast styles of pilates, and it's really helpful to see the best of both. And she's got these really cool gadgets! They help to put those muscles to work, and I'm sore after each workout (no pain, no gain, right?) She is just very personable and attentive! Highly Recommended!!

Jaime is extremely attentive to your needs and what your body wants! She's tough, and yet at the same time fair. After childbirth and looking at my "blob" of a body, Jaime really helped motivate me, and show me different ways to get back in shape! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to try pilates for the first time, or for someone who has done it before, and is looking for a new instructor.

I have been practicing pilates for over four years. I have tried all different variations, levels and have practiced under instructors in three different states. Pilatesblue is hands down, one of my favorites thus far largely because of Jaime Ullman. Jaime takes her time with each individual client and gives you exactly the kind of work out that suits your needs. She challenges you to take your capabilities to the next level, if you so desire. She is well versed in many different styles of pilates and is a true expert in her realm. Her studio has several different kinds of equipment which enables your workout to never get boring. Her energy is contagious and she is a true professional. I would highly recommend her studio to any student at any level!!!

whoa'd and awed! Pilatesblue has changed my life. the irony here that is that Pilatesblue has actually defunkified me in everyway. I am no longer depressed. I have had body image problems my whole life. I have tried every diet. A moments hope. always lead to years of despair. I do hike, but I would really say that I am physically lazy. Until now. With Jaimes program and fierce guidance, I have become a diligent exerciser. I love my body. I am being so genuine here. Jaime sees everything. Every part of my body falls into position. Since I started, being completely out of touch with my body, she talked to my body for me. Now, I am finally feeling my own body in space. Really!!! This is a million times more effective than therapy. That's talk talk. With Jaime, I have learned to walk the walk. my flabby body is coming back to me. My clothes are fitting so much better. I have cronic all over body stiffness, and with this sudden awareness, things are loosening up. It... Read more

I have always wanted to try Pilates, I am an avid workout fan and have tried everything but this. I was anticipating a good workout, but working out with Jaime is better than I ever could have imagined. She is caring but will give you a butt kicking work out. She works parts of my body that I have never known existed and when I am done, I go about the rest of my day with the biggest endorphin high I have ever had. I am addicted and look forward to every session I have with Jaime.

Jaime Ullman of Pilatesblue brings a hospitable nature to her home studio in Culver City. Her space is cozy; you feel as if you are at home, quite literally, and this translates to Ms. Ullman?s manner of teaching. She has the unique ability to keep you engaged in the exercises and pushing you to your limits without feeling as if you are being overworked. Friendly banter in the middle of what is otherwise a punishing stretch is commonplace. In the end, Jaime is interested in getting to know you not just as a client but also as a person. Such an instructor can?t help but keep you interested in the next exercise. My fiance and I have been going to Jaime for about a year and feel that it is helped transform our relationship by allowing us to connect in a unique way. Jaime has developed a program based on our needs as runners. We can feel the difference! Jamie will find the right techniques that suit you, giving you a tremendous sense of accomplishment at the end of your session.

I came to Pilates Blue raving about a past pilates instructor I had in the Bay Area before I moved to LA- Jaime said she was up to the challenge of surpassing that instructor, and she has lived up to her word. Every workout brings something new - a new piece of equipment, a new move, or a new twist on an old move. I'm never bored and I feel like my body is constantly challenged. Jaime always focuses on the overall health of my body, and is constantly making sure that I am doing all the movements safely - if im not in a safe position, she immediately stops and corrects me, which is good, because I tend to hyperextend my joints a lot. Jaime also always knows exactly how hard I can work - when I think i'm done, she suddenly announces that I need 10 more repetitions, and I usually do. All of that, and she is hilarious and fun - my only complaint is that sometimes its hard to focus on my breathing when I'm laughing so hard. I really can see improvement in the way my body moves when I'm ... Read more

I was looking for a workout experience that would be challenging, fun and get me results. One that I would stick with and not quickly become bored. Fortunately, I stumbled across Pilates Blue through City Search last fall. I am a former dancer, in another life - along time ago, but longed for something that would bring back that joy and magic. Jaime does just that at Pilates Blue. She has top of the line equipment that she takes great care of. She is a wealth of knowledge and takes the time to share it. She gets to know your body very quickly, and knows what you're capable of. She has a great spirit and her studio is a reflection of it. It is a total mind and body experience. When I begin to whine because Jaime is kicking my butt, she reminds me with that great smile of hers that I'm not there to have a cup of tea! Give it a try - you'll be hooked!

Working with Jaime Ullman in her studio, Pilatesblue, has been one of the most transformational experiences of my life! I was a post-operative patient who had recently graduated from traditional physical therapy and was looking for something to help me regain my strength and confidence, and a friend recommended Jaime. Working with Jaime for the last six months has been an amazing, exhilarating, and joyful evolution of my body and spirit! As someone who had back surgery, I was afraid of beginning to use my body again, but Jaime's skill, experience, breadth and depth of knowledge and watchful eye gave me the confidence I needed to push my limits and work hard and boy let me tell you it pays off! In addition to her expertise, Jaime radiates kindness, warmth and happiness and is truly a pleasure to be with! She has a wonderful sense of humor and creates a beautiful rhythm to her sessions - spending an hour with Jaime is simply so much fun you barely notice how hard you are really working -... Read more

Pilatesblue is a great studio located in Culver City and having Jaime as the ultimate trainer, even better. I started Pilates Blue in December and was immediately hooked. The small, private studio makes for a very comfortable environment enabling you to get the most from your workout and Jaime is exactly who you need if you're looking for a full body workout. Her focus and desire to make you a stronger person with the benefit of a fun personality make a great, overall Pilates experience. I moved from Los Angeles and am missing her already!

Jamie is amazing...great mat classes in a terrific atmosphere. Results over time, and motivational, as well.

Jaime teaches a terrific (and cheap!) mat class - small class size, major individual attention, and zero pretension. I had danced and practised yoga all my life, but injuries and arthritis had crept up on me and a few years ago I found myself unable to exercise at all. I trust Jaimie completely. She is highly knowledgable, always safe, and gives you the detailed, personalized training that lets you re-build your strength from the inside out. Plus, after her mat class, my vertabrae feel like they're FLOATING!

Working with Jaime is truly the single best hour of my day, and I longingly look forward to it every week. As someone who is under constant pressure at work, going to Jaime's studio is an immediate relief and sanctuary. It's not to say that you don't work hard. But after an hour with Jaime, I feel stronger, focused and stress free. Jaime is compassionate, funny, knowledgeable, tough and brilliant at what she's does. She radiates an inner and outer beauty that one strives for in their every day life. Once I step into her studio, all the pressure and bad thoughts go away, and it's all about the moment and doing something good for me -- and it's Jaime who plays a critical role in helping me do so. When I'm finished, it's the best feeling in the world. I feel satisfied, accomplished and ready to take on anything. Where can you find that in an hour?

I never took Pilates before and was quite reluctant to try something I thought to be "hippy-dippy" like yoga. Thankfully Jaime eased me into a relaxing yet challenging exercise experience. She's amazingly patient especially for someone like me whose mind constantly wanders off and needs reminding every minute to keep focused and moving. I can't recommend PilatesBlue more!

I tried private instruction pilates (at a well-known Westside studio) about seven years ago and I learned that the secret to fabulous pilates is the quality of the instructor and there is none better than Jamie Ullman. She is so supportive, funny, enthusiastic, approachable, and kind. AND, she also watches your moves like a HAWK! I'm constantly amazed by how she catches (and corrects) the tiniest adjustments that I make during my workout. Jamie is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced; she's a born trainer/teacher/guru. Pilates is a wonderful workout and Pilatesblue, with its comfortable environment, makes it completely satisfying. In addition, the price is a deal since Jamie's instruction is truly top rate. I look forward to my workouts!!

Really great workout with a fun and very knowledgeable teacher. The Pilates blue environment is great, Jaime has really wonderful energy and I would highly recommend her! This is a really great way to get in shape.

Jaime is absolutely great, with a variety of different equipment and very challenging workouts tailored to your individual needs. With a very relaxed and peaceful setting, and the discipline of a drill sargeant, you are sure to get the results you want. Be prepared to ache the next day!

I absolutely love Jaime Ullman and Pilatesblue. This workout will kick your butt, in the nicest possible way. Jaime is so in tune with her clients that she sweats right along with you. From the very first session you feel as if you are working out with an extremely knowledgeable friend. The atmosphere at Pilatesblue is comfortable, not intimidating as are some studios. Jaime has all the equipment needed for a great Pilates workout and you will use it all. Jaime takes the mystery out of pilates for beginners and has the experience to challenge the student that has taken Pilates for years. I'll be out of town for the next six months and aside from my family I'm going to miss my sessions with Jaime at Pilatesblue the most.

I currently work with Jaime three times a week and can honestly say that those three hours are the times when I feel strongest and most connected to my mind and my body. Since day one, Jaime has gone out of her way to not only explain movements to me but to truly help me understand and find the connection needed to successfully move through pilates. I came to her a person "gracefully challenged" and now I feel that I take every step in life with more connection to my body. I will always work with Jaime.. no matter what!! She makes me laugh, focus and improve myself.. what more can you ask for??

Culver City Pilates studio offers West Coast-style and New York-based Gratz workouts. Private, home and custom-designed sessions available.

I always wanted to try pilates but couldn't imagine finding a comfortable, unpretentious atmosphere to try it in. Luckily, I found Pilatesblue online, met with Jaime and immediately signed up for 15 one-on-one sessions! Her private studio includes all types of machines/equipment which allows for variety in our sessions. Jaime is an inspiring, knowledgeable and all-around wonderful instructor who encourages me to push myself in each session. Not only do I feel great when I leave her studio, I actually look forward to my workouts!

I had a total breakdown some time ago... and with it, my body fell apart. I found Jaime Ullman on a trip to LA and began with her program. The results ARE astonishing. I quit smoking, stopped drinking hard liquor and found my body again. Needless to say, Jaime understood what that was about and help me find my rhythm again. She's a cool lady. And I can't say enough about her. Do it.

Jaime's warm manner and expert instruction makes training with her both enjoyable and effective. And her prices are great, especially considering the expert one-on-one attention she provides. Highly recommended!

jaime is a great instructor with a warm, easy, personality.she gives an aura of peace & serenity while she works with you. she is knowledgeable in both the new york and west coast styles of pilates. her studio has state of the art equipment. ambience provided by jaime herself. parking convenient. her place is easily accessible by bus or car. i leave her workouts feeling as though my body is stronger and leaner + i have a feeling of inner calm and strength. she's great. her workouts are addictive.

Jaime Ullman of Pilates Blue is a skilled pilates instructor who exemplies hard work, dedication, and kindness. She will push you through well planned and intense workouts, while offering creativity and openness. Her skill, coupled with her encouragement and attention to detail, makes Pilates Blue an extraordinary value for your mind, body, and soul. The studio is quiet, private, clean, and fully equipped with every type of Pilates equipment imagineable. Pilates has changed the way I workout, walk, and hold my body. It's a definite must-try!

Working out at Pilatesblue enables me to feel stronger and more flexible. My posture has improved and overall I love it! Jaime is excellent as an instructor and the studio atmosphere is clean and pleasant. This is a great opportunity and an immensely rewarding experience.

jaime ullman is just an uplifting, warm personality. she is very knowledgeable about pilates, both new york and west coast styles. she is such a cordial person and gives a great one-on-one session. i leave her sessions feeling spiritually uplifed, light as a feather and about 3" taller as part of her emphasis is in strenthening and lengthening. i would highly recommend her. she and her workouts are addictive !! can't think of a better way to work out. jaime makes it a pleasure; it does't seem like work although it really is.
