About Us

Chava Pilates is a private studio in Hollywood that offers bespoke training specialized for the client. They offer customized Balanced Body clinical reformer machines which can be adjusted to each client’s needs.

Chava Pilates offers private and personal training sessions.

Chava Pilates has a unique method integrating West Coast, East Coast, and rehabilitation Pilates to give a challenging workout that targets the individual needs of a client so you can help design your own body while also being safe and effective. Build the areas of your body that you want to build, lean the areas you want to lean, and protect and rehab the areas you need modifications for. Even in a group class, you will get the same attention as a private session. It is not uncommon for each client to use different springs according to their fitness level or body mass, to have bars moved, or ropes lengthened.  Each client’s needs will be respected and implemented. 

“To be an instructor is to pass on the body of knowledge collected through years of practice, application, and experience. It is my hope the knowledge I can give will be useful to you now and in the future.”

Testimonials

  • “I’ve been taking Chava’s class for 12 years! I knew the second I walked in the door that she was special and was going to help me finally figure out how to get fit while also enjoying every minute of it. Chava immediately recognizes and tailors to what each person’s body needs to get effective results. I see physical results quickly, but also, she has taught me posture habits that improve my body aches and improve my confidence longterm. Every time I go to one of Chava’s classes, I feel stronger, better in my body and like I am learning something that’ll keep me in better shape longer. The time always goes way too quickly because we end up laughing and sharing stories- it’s the highlight of my week and I don’t know what I would do without her!

  • "Chava Pilates has completely reignited my motivation and love for fitness and wellness. From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed, supported, and inspired. What truly sets Chava apart are the instructors. Every class feels intentional, empowering, and deeply restorative. The instructors are not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but they bring warmth, encouragement, and genuine care to every session. Their attention to alignment, breath, and personal progress has helped me reconnect with my body in a way I really needed. I've fallen back in love with movement and have found a renewed sense of strength, balance, and motivation thanks to Chava Pilates. I can't recommend this studio enough-it's truly a gem and a sanctuary for anyone ready to commit to their wellbeing."

  • "I cannot recommend Chava enough! Her Pilates studio is truly a hidden gem — small, personalized, and incredibly welcoming. Every class feels tailored to the people attending, and Chava’s knowledge and attention to detail are unmatched. I came to her while recovering from knee surgery, and thanks to her expertise and guidance, I’ve gained so much strength, mobility, and confidence back. She really listens to your body’s needs and adjusts movements in a way that makes you feel both supported and challenged. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or just looking for a more personal Pilates experience, Chava is the absolute best. I’m so grateful I found her studio!"

  • "Very intimate setting with only 4 reformers. Chava has a very extensive background in pilates and not only is she an instructor but also a teacher. You can tell she knows her stuff and really wants her clientele to absorb as much knowledge as they can. With that, she is focused on the form and correct posture first before going hard so that you get the most out of everything. I appreciate the hands-on, correction approach as I'm just starting out in pilates and really want to know how to do everything correct. This is a great way to get familiar with the sport as you're getting almost private lessons. Class had chill fun interactive conversation and good lowkey music. Excited to come back!"

I love that she works with you on your specific goals to create the experience and body you want with no judgment. She is so welcoming and kind to everyone (and has a very sweet pup too, bonus!). I always leave feeling great and am so happy I started coming to see her, my mental and physical health are better for it."
