April 15 · Joan HansonWorking with Maytal is the best experience You’re gonna get when thinking about starting Your journey with real pilates.The experience is like none other, very personalised and detailed to the specific person. You’ll get to learn the best, real pilates method so why not train with one of the best. I was training with Maytal in preparation for assessment for the instructor program and learned so much during our sessions. My psychic and strength improved and I left every session with a great feeling for the rest of my day. It also helps that Maytal is a great, very kind person and every session will bring a smile to Your face and will keep You wanting more. I highly recommend booking a session with Maytal unless You don’t like to make yourself feel better 🤷🏻♀️
August 06 · Julia WitczakI have been coming to this studio for more than a year. Maytal is a wonderful instructor and very knowledgeable. I like working out with her because she works with the body I have and adjusts. I feel safe, challenged, and I am thankful for all of the new things my body can do. I look forward to our workouts.
August 08 · Daisy OrtizI have been a client of Maytal's since 2012 and can't imagine going to anyone else! My original intention was to take group classes but after 1 private lesson I realized the benefits of a personalized workout. At the beginning of each session Maytal asks me how my body is that day, and then tailors my workout to address my needs. I love to run/ski/play tennis/hike/etc. The wear of being active has a tendency to create the occasional random pain (tennis elbow, knee, etc.). Maytal adapts my workout no matter what the situation (either to be gentle to trouble areas and/or strengthen the muscles) to help support my body to prevent and minimize future pain/injury. I always leave feeling better than I did when I came in the door!Maytal practices the original form of Pilates which has been passed down directly from Joseph Pilates to his protégé, Romana Kryzanowska. This is the purest form of Pilates. Maytal is committed to continuing her education with her mentors in the Romana's Pilates community. She genuinely cares about the proper methodology and, most important of all, the well-being of her clients.
May 17 · Juliet BrumlikI really enjoy private Pilates sessions with May in Hermosa Beach. May is well trained and knowledgeable about my body's safe range of movement and injury prevention.I like the private classical pilates sessions at May Pilates over large mat class at the gym.
