I have been going to Sharisse for over 5 years yet. I was skeptical at first but went because my friend swore by her. When I started I was very physically active but I had severe scoliosis — 6 vertebrae were both curved and twisted inward, leading to numerous muscle and skeletal problems and near constant pain. Within one session Sharisse identified my problem and noticed my muscle imbalance. By the next session, Sharisse had a plan to attack my scoliosis. She had me do extra reps on my weak side, stretching on my wrong side, and had me get a massage every week to loosen up my muscle spasms. Within 3 months I could feel a huge difference. Within one year my scoliosis was completely, one hundred percent gone. My Doctor and my Chiropractor could not believe my new x-​rays. Sharisse is incredibly knowledgable and focused on her clients ensuring that they maintain perfect form to reach their goals. Go see her, you won’t regret it!

I originally came to this studio purely as a fan (Sharisse’s role in the Walker Texas Ranger ep «Money Train» was stellar) and had no idea what Pilates was. After several sessions I soon realized what everyone was raving about. I use my time here to organize my thoughts and improve my core, but I have noticed the positive effects of Pilates on my knees too (had weak and under-​developed abductors and core causing IT BAND stiffness and patella tracking issues.)
Sharisse is amazing. You will not look back once getting into her studio.

Sharisse is amazing — I was a novice when I started going to her, and she really got me into shape. She’s patient and attentive, and after almost two years of Pilates with her I am so much stronger and more flexible! She’s really reshaped my body. Highly recommend!

I have been to a few different Pilates studios. I would go for a few times, but never really got into the groove. Then Sharisse opened her studio and now I get it! I’ve been going twice a week for over a year now, and I’ve never been stronger or trimmer. In fact, I can touch my toes for the first time in my life.
Sharisse is gentle, understanding, and really gets to know her clients. Her studio is clean and comfortable, cozily tucked in Laurel Canyon. She works 1-​on-​1 using a Half Cadillac Reformer. Sure, she trains your body, but she also explains how Pilates technique can be used as you work and play in your everyday life.
Her prices are the lowest in town, because her overhead is so low. I work out with her two times a week, and it costs me less than one lesson at some swanky studio. I also likes that she knows how to train men, and works extensively with people 40+.
All in all, you’d be a fool to go anywhere else. You get personalized training on new equipment, at a VERY reasonable price.
