We wrote a book. It’s yours.
The Classical Pilates Companion: 55 pages on the method as it was actually built. It comes with the letter we send on Tuesdays.
01 — CONTROLOGY
One-on-One Classical Pilates in West Hollywood
At West Hollywood Pilates, one-on-one is the whole point. For 55 minutes one teacher stays with you, blending classical Pilates with guided breath and functional movement. We work with what your body is doing that day, so you build real strength and better posture without ever pushing into pain.
Classical Pilates means we work in the tradition Joseph Pilates actually built: the full apparatus, worked in the order the method intends, with attention on how you move rather than how hard you can go. It's built for a body that feels good to live in for years, not a quick burn.
Our studio sits on N Highland Ave in the Hollywood and Melrose area of Los Angeles, a block from the West Hollywood border. Clients come to us from across central LA for a full, unhurried hour with a teacher who knows their body and remembers exactly where they left off. If you've been searching for private Pilates near you, you're probably only a short drive away. We regularly teach clients from Melrose, Beverly Grove, Hancock Park, Larchmont, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and the surrounding neighborhoods.
02 — THE APPARATUS
The Apparatus
Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Arm Chair, Ped-o-Pul, Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector - the full classical line, and a teacher who knows what each piece is for.
“It’s truly a hidden sanctuary in the middle of the city where I can focus on my body and exactly what it needs.”

Co-founder & teacher
Yonatan Elkayam
Yonatan trained under Carrie Samper, who was certified by Romana Kryzanowska, Joseph Pilates' own protégée. Carrie went on to build the teacher training program Equinox now runs nationwide, and Yonatan earned that certification in 2019. It is a short line back to Joe, and it shows up in how exact the work is.
He teaches the way he makes music, shaped to your body's rhythm on the day. No "no pain, no gain." Just careful work that builds a body you live well in.
