Fitmix Studio Atwater Village

I love pilates but I am not getting any cardio. I don’t want to join a pilates studio and have to go to a gym to use the treadmill. Fitmix fits the bill! I get both of what I need.
I am not a runner. At all! I hate running. I get winded if I talk and walk at the same time! But when I did the Mashup class, I thoroughly enjoyed it! I guess running as a class with an instructor motivates me more than I would by myself in a gym. And the intervals keep you on your toes.
Then comes the pilates… which is challenging! I love it. I like pilates classes that I build strength on. I want room to improve and not just stay in one level.
The studio is airy and spacious and very clean.
There’s parking too! I’ve been here 3 times already and I haven’t had trouble getting a spot. So far.
I came through classpass but I liked this studio so much that the allowed 3x per month bums me out. I am going to join and go as much as I can.
The only negative thing about this place is that a Dunkin Donuts just opened right next to it. Soooo… run back to your car as fast as you could after working out. Haha.

What can I say I’m hooked! Mashup is so my jam! The running is so hard and I love it! Their Pilates is the best! I haven’t tried all the instructors, but so far my faves are Diana (the owner), Mike, and Brian (the other owner) so glad they opened in Atwater!

Fabulous and CHALLENGING. I pushed myself to try a Mashup class and it was no joke. Pilates feels totally different after 2 miles of intervals — that’s for sure!
What I enjoyed most was the positivity of the trainers, and the welcoming environment for someone who is was very apprehensive about their running prowess.
¹⁰⁄₁₀. Will be back for more torture ;)

This is a great studio with lovely instructors! I have taken both endurance pilates and the Mashup, which I highly recommend. If you’re on Classpass, come here for the Mashup. You can take other pilates classes elsewhere, but this class is so unique! The running really pushes you and gives your workout a whole other level. Their Pilates are challenging as well, but the Mashup is like no other workout I have taken. The studio is also beautiful and there is a parking lot and street parking.

I absolutely LOVE this studio. I came here as a member of class pass and now it’s part of my regular rotation. I’ve tried other Pilates studios but this one takes the cake and the «mash up» sessions on the treadmill are killer.

First time at this studio. Signed up through classpass. Great full body workout!
For half the class, you do interval run training including some hill training. The instructors gives beginner, intermediate and advanced paces the group can run but these are just guided. ultimately it’s up to you.
The other half of class is Pilates. We worked arms, legs and abs. Definitely finished the 60min class in a sweat. No Pilates socks needed for class.
The studio is clean and modern, and set right in the heart of Atwater Village. All new equipment since Fitmix just recently opened this location. There’s a free parking lot in the back or metered street parking out front so you shouldn’t have a problem finding a spot. Cubbies inside. No showers or towels though.

FITMIX!!! I did the month unlimited deal with a friend and girl, let me tell you, we got our moneys worth. We went (almost) daily to the 7AM class and on weekends hit up later classes.
INSTRUCTORS
First off, the instructors here are the best. Cannot stress how important it is to have instructors who are paying attention to students’ form and trust me, at 7 in the morning I’m not exactly all there. Countless times they saved my newbie butt from injury by always ensuring that I was doing the movements correctly. They’re also all super nice, but know how to kick your bum into action. especially on that treadmill.
MASHUP
Umm it’s freaking hard! You can choose your level which is great, but no matter where you’re at you’re bound to sweat. it. out. They mix things up with intervals where you sometimes are sprinting, sometimes up a hill, sometimes for a while, but eventually it ends and you hop on a reformer. The pilates half of the class really stretches in there good since you’re already warm from the running. And afterwards, you can get that croissant from Proof down the street and pretend like nothing ever happened…
PILATES
You want abs like T Swift and a butt like Queen B and arms like Madonna? Well, after a month I honestly have no idea if I’m on that track there, but I can say that I FEEL more toned. The exercises are hard and they really do wear down and build up your muscles. You know its working when you’re legs are shaking it off more than Taylor.
$$$$
Okay, so this is the first time I’ve done pilates because lets be real, most places charge $ 40/​class which is like, if someone in Lululemon told you to do a plank and then robbed you. So, Fitmix is not nearly as pricey and also, they have some great specials. It was $ 125 for the unlimited month since I did the two for one friend deal which really was a deal! Going forward, I may do the unlimited month which is around $ 200, but I have to wait on my job situation. They are a member of ClassPass so I may join that, but we shall see. I hear they have a student rate also…
Overall, the place is clean, has parking and is a great workout. Small classes mean signing up ahead of time and being accountable. I’ll definitely be back (you know when I have money again).

I’ve been four times via ClassPass and have had four different instructors (even though I keep the same schedule for the most part), which is kind of nice because it keeps it interesting instead of predictable. Not sure if they have a hefty rotation of instructors because they’re new or because that’s just how they roll, but worth noting!
The studio is clean, the machines are staggered so you don’t feel like you’re on top of your neighbor, and the Endurance Pilates workout is a good mix of intensity (core and muscle toning) and stretching.
No towels, no showers, but they do have a bathroom and a little waiting area if you arrive early for your class (though, it’s right next to a machine, so a little uncomfortable to be so close if there’s a class beforehand)!
I’d suggest this for folks who are beginner/​intermediate on the Pilates machine or looking to amp up their mat workouts.

I decided to finally get back on the reformer and give it another try after being intimidated by other Pilates Reformer studios years ago. There is no pretentious vibe here (yet) and hopefully it stays that way since it’s in Atwater/​Silverlake. I’ve taken the Endurance class with Kat and Samantha so far and both were very helpful in ensuring proper alignment, use of the machine and encouraging students along the way because this is a hard workout! I get a great sweat, feel accomplished for getting through the class and definitely feel the workout the next day. This will definitely be part of my Class Pass rotation! Thanks for opening up in the area! I haven’t tried all the Pilates studios in the area but I have a hunch Fitmix will be the best considering their west side location has raving reviews and the instructors teach at both!

Brand spanking new studio. Or at least a month new. Which means its not at it’s best, BUT that doesn’t speak against the establishment. The bathroom isn’t working properly at the moment, but it will! They don’t have curtains yet, BUT THEY WILL! Very optimistic about this location. Situated in adorable Atwater Village, Fitmix’s proximity to cute shops is awesome. Haven’t really tried anything in the area minus the drive-​thru Wells Fargo, but excited to do some post exercise exploration. PS I’ve been wanting to try this studio out because my friends rave about it.
I’m a ClassPass member and decided on ENDURANCE PILATES with Brian. He is cool, friendly, down-​to-​Earth, upbeat, comical, and very focused on form, which I LOVE! He pushes his students and gives a wonderful workout. I was perspiring like cray! I am definitely going to visit this studio again and maybe try another instructor, or maybe not– Brian was legit.
PS Parking lot in the back with ample spaces! YES!
