Playhouse Pilates

Welcome to Playhouse Pilates, a premier fitness and wellness studio dedicated to helping individuals live strong, pain-free lives through optimal alignment and movement. Our story began in 2007 when our founder, Charlyn Huss d'Anconia, opened the doors to our first location in South Pasadena. Over the years, we have specialized in providing private and semi-private sessions in a welcoming environment for people of all ages and stages of life.

Our approach to fitness is unique, focusing on a balance between serious practice and play. We believe that exercise should not only be effective but also enjoyable. This philosophy has made us a beloved fixture in the San Gabriel Valley community, attracting clients from all walks of life.

Our Services

At Playhouse Pilates, we offer a wide range of services designed to cater to different needs and preferences. Our team of experienced instructors are trained to provide personalized attention and guidance, ensuring that each client achieves their fitness goals.

Private Sessions

Our private sessions are tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. Whether you're looking to improve your posture, alleviate back pain, or simply enhance your overall fitness, our private sessions offer the perfect opportunity to focus on your unique goals.

Semi-Private Sessions

Semi-private sessions are an excellent option for those who prefer a more social atmosphere while still receiving personalized attention. These sessions are limited to a small group of clients, allowing for a balance between individualized instruction and camaraderie.

Nutrition and Digestive Health Programs

In addition to our Pilates sessions, we also offer customized nutrition and digestive health programs. These programs are designed to focus on what your body needs, beyond just kale and calories. Our team works closely with clients to create personalized plans that address their specific nutritional needs and health goals.

Workshops and Events

We regularly host workshops and events that cater to various interests and fitness levels. These events provide a unique opportunity to try new exercises, learn from experienced instructors, and connect with like-minded individuals in our community.

Online Classes

In response to the global pandemic, we have expanded our services to include online classes. These virtual sessions allow clients to practice from the comfort of their own homes, providing greater flexibility and convenience. Our online classes are designed to replicate the experience of our in-person sessions, ensuring that clients receive the same level of personalized attention and instruction.

Teacher Training and Certification

For those interested in becoming certified Pilates instructors, we offer comprehensive teacher training programs. These programs are designed to equip aspiring instructors with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to lead successful Pilates classes.

Relocation and Expansion

In 2020, we made the difficult decision to close our South Pasadena location due to unforeseen circumstances. However, this change has not deterred us from continuing to serve our beloved community. We have relocated to various locations in Pasadena and continue to offer our services both in-person and online.

Looking Forward

As we continue to evolve and grow, we remain committed to our core values of providing high-quality services, fostering a supportive community, and promoting overall wellness. We are excited about the future and look forward to continuing our journey with you.

Thank you for choosing Playhouse Pilates. We are honored to be a part of your fitness and wellness journey.
