Class started at 12:30pm, they state there is a 5-min grace period. My first time going to this studio and I pulled up at 12:30pm to the tiny shared parking lot that had only a few parking spots that were not reserved for other businesses, so obviously lot was full. Circled the block, street parking was full so I had to park a bit far. Ran up and got there at EXACTLY 12:35pm. Door was locked. This is literally the only pilates studio I have ever been to with such a short grace period and I have been to almost every studio in LA. The workouts at this studio are also only 45 mins long, compared to the standard 50 mins at other studios.
This works well for them because they can charge you a cancellation fee for "missing" a reservation when really they just decided to lock the door before the grace period ended. A 5-min grace period means I can enter up until the clock hits 12:36pm so if I arrive at 12:35pm I expect to be let in.
How are you not going to provide enough parking and still enforce such a short grace period? Make it make sense
Go to a different studio, there are plenty of great ones in LA.
I've been a pilates girlie since pre-covid at the first Avenir studio over the hill. This studio, these instructors, (especially Allie) have shaped my pilates journey and taught me so much. I bounce now between this studio and a lagree studio and the workout I get here continually puts me through my paces.
I recommend Avenir to all my pilates curious friends whether they're far along on their fitness journey or brand new. The classes here are challenging without feeling impossible. Pilates is all about slowly improving so you can hold that pose for one second longer or get your form as aligned as possible for you. There are so many modifications and all the instructors at Avenir are well versed and supportive in doing what feels right for you.
The studio is gorgeous and clean. All the reformers are new and the weights, balls, etc are in perfect condition. It's such a vibe when the lights change color and the playlist is always on point.
I'm a lifelong Avenir girlie 💘
