What the studio believes
“Most fitness is about what your body looks like. We’re interested in how it feels, how it heals, and how long it carries you.”
In Movement offers two distinct practices united by one belief: that your body is the home your mind and soul live in.
The square, the circle, or both.
Pilates brings structure and precision. The GYROTONIC® Method brings fluid, circular movement. Both are taught here, and several of the teachers work in both.

- Group reformer classes with small class sizes.
- Classical lineage in the room: Julie Amick trained under first-generation Pilates Elder Romana Kryzanowska.

In Movement Pilates is a new Pilates and Gyrotonic studio on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles. It is bright and beautifully furnished with top-notch equipment for both kinds of workout as well as with features of soothing spas -- plants and other calming touches. Trainers are very well qualified and easy to work with. I have been working with my trainer Gina for many years through spine surgeries, knee replacements, rotator cuff tears and other ailments. She excels in both Gyrotonic and Pilates. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the body and knows exactly how to deal with problems that come up on a daily basis. One of the pleasures of working with Gina is how articulate she is and how well she can explain how to do each exercise, using precise language and imagery so that you understand how to move and stretch in the most proper and safest way. She constantly thinks up new exercises to do so you are never bored with repetition. Our sessions are always enjoyable and stimulating. I have increased my strength and agility since working with Gina -- and I am in my early '80's. She is by far the best trained, the most careful and the most beneficial for me of the trainers that I have tried in the past. I recommend her highly.
“We've done both group classes and private sessions here and can't recommend it enough. The studio is gorgeous, brand new equipment, and you can tell a lot of thought went into the space. Our 1-on-1 sessions have been with Gina, who is just a fantastic instructor. My partner and I came in with zero Pilates experience and she met us where we were. A couple months in and we're both actually comfortable on the reformer and looking forward to our sessions every week. We've also started group classes to get more regular sessions in. The progress feels real. Whether you're a total beginner or looking to level up, this place is worth it.”
Ravi MehtaGoogle review, 4 months ago About Gina“Many reviews already speak about the superb studio, equipment, and overall warmth and professionalism of this practice. I join in those accolades. But I especially want to pay tribute to my Pilates teacher, Gina Chai. She is a master. Knowledgeable, skillful, patient, and consistently devoted to the welfare of her clients. I have worked with her for about three years, and she has been extremely effective in dealing with my issues. She is also fair, honest, and reasonable, in all business aspects as well. Without any reservation I would recommend her to anybody.”
