Reformer Pilates on a steady morning schedule

Almost all of the classes at phitosophy are reformer Pilates. The format is consistent across the studio, so you know what to expect from one session to the next. A typical class runs about 50 minutes, long enough to settle into the reformer and move through a full sequence without feeling rushed.

The studio's timetable is built around the morning. Most classes start before noon, and roughly a third begin before 9am. The busiest start times are 7am, 9am, 10am and 11am, with a few sessions in the evening. Thursday, Friday and Wednesday are the days when the most classes run.

Who teaches and how to book

phitosophy is a small operation in Burbank, with a handful of studios in the wider network and about ten facilitators on the team. Simmin Yu-Olivas, Karina Nazarian, Gionna D'Alessandro, Alejandra Herrera and Kelly Ko lead the largest share of the classes, so you will often find the same faces at the front of the room.

The studio's own website, phitosophy.com, is the place to look for the current timetable and to book directly. Classes are not sold on a pass, so each session is booked on its own.
