Eden is a phenomenal Pilates Instructor and I loved taking the Reformer Mix class with her! The movements were so dynamic and versatile you definitely feel as if you’re getting a full body workout and detox. I highly recommend trying out the classes here at Makai Fitness!

Loved my class with Laurel! She did an amazing job of moving us through slower and faster paced flows. Can’t recommend highly enough!

I’ve been attending classes consistently at Makai for about a year now. Prior to Makai, I was new to reformer Pilates and generally not a fan of group fitness classes, but I LOVE these group classes. I’ve gained so much postural and body awareness through the coaching and cues the instructors provide. The instructors are attentive, knowledgeable, and they observe and listen to each person in their class. If you are new, I definitely recommend taking the essentials class and speaking up about any injuries or body quirks you are aware of. It’s clear that Eden, the owner, is passionate about fitness and community as it shines through every class that she teaches.

I attended a Pilates Reformer Essentials class today, as a total newbie. It was only another person and I, and the experience was great. The space is peaceful and charming and the team was great. This was a very basic level, “learn what Pilates and the machine is” and I felt informed and excited upon finishing the class. I look forward to coming back for more! Note: there are a couple designated spots in front of the building, street parking, and a secondary lot. Ask for details on the secondary lot bc it seemed a bit hidden.

Chelsea’s classes at Makai are my favorite! Her energy is infectious, her playlists are always on point, and her sense of humor makes every class as fun as they are challenging. Since starting her classes, I feel stronger, more confident, and genuinely excited to move my body. She brings a perfect balance of challenge and encouragement, and her ability to read the room and keep everyone motivated is unmatched. I can’t recommend her classes enough ☺️

Makai Fitness pilates classes have been a critical part of my wellness, mobility, flexibility, and strength training. There is a wonderful sense of community and camaraderie in each class. Every session is unique, and the instructor is dedicated to helping each participant reach their full potential.

I joined Mukai fitness back in April 2025. I quickly saw results. I felt stronger, more balanced, toner, and healthier. The community of Mikai that Eden has created is fun, positive, and encourages open inter interaction. Mikai Pilates is now part of my daily routine. Thank you, Eden for creating such a positive space for all 💕💕

Makai is simply the best! All of the instructors go above and beyond to make sure everyone is accommodated at all skill levels. I highly recommend starting with an “essentials” class if you’re a newbie. This place is like a second home at this point, as the community is second to none. Clean, cheerful, relaxing space to move while being taught by experts.

I love Makai Pilates a lot. Everyone is very friendly and I always feel good after every class. Yes we all work hard but I never felt sorry that I went.

I love Makai! Eden and her team of instructors are kind and understanding! Not only will moves be modified if needed, but classes have intensity levels that you can mix and match to your needs. Also there are separate rooms for the reformer pilates classes, and the mat work. I am grateful for all the instructors at Makai and I hope to return again soon.

I absolutely love Makai Pilates & Yoga! The studio is always clean, bright, and welcoming with so many plants — it’s such a peaceful and inspiring space to move in. The teachers are all incredibly well-trained, kind, and supportive, and they bring great energy to every class. I also appreciate the amazing variety of classes offered — whether I’m in the mood for a challenging Pilates session or a grounding yoga flow, there’s always something perfect on the schedule. Highly recommend to anyone looking to build strength, find balance, and feel great in their body! So happy to find my new favorite studio!

I took my first ever Pilates class with Candice recently, and it was so wonderful! Candice explained and demonstrated everything so well and helped me to feel very comfortable with the process and want to explore Pilates more. For comparison, I took an intro class at another studio afterwards, and felt really confused the entire time with the other instructor’s directions. I felt like more of a beginner in the second class than I did with Candice, so I especially appreciate her clear instructions and kind, patient demeanor. I am excited to return to Makai Fitness for more classes soon! Also, big bonus that the studio is so beautiful and serene.

I’m in town for a conference and was searching for an exceptional Pilates studio—how fortunate I was to discover Eden and Makai Pilates! From the very start, scheduling with Eden was effortless, and my private session today was nothing short of extraordinary. She is an incredibly skilled and intuitive instructor, tailoring every movement to my needs while challenging me to refine my technique. I only wish I could train with her every week! I’m thrilled to be attending a class in the morning before I leave, and I can confidently say that Long Beach is truly lucky to have such a wonderful instructor.

I highly recommend taking pilates and yoga classes at Mikai Fitness. When I started in August 2024, I had never done pilates. The instructors are supportive and welcoming and I really enjoy the group class environment. Plus the 50% off the first class didn't hurt. The classes range from beginner to advanced. If you are new to Pilates take the Reformer Essentials to get your footing and learn the basics. For the more intermediate to advanced I highly recommend Reformer Mix with instructor Chelsea. With Chelsea I experience a full body workout with different routines every week using all of the equipment . I have truly stepped up my pilates game with Chelsea. The Reformer Sculpt class is also a excellent option for an advanced class that does exactly what the class title says. Instructor/owner Eden is my fave for Sculpt. The studio offers yoga classes and these have been a game changer. Instructor Brooke is an amazing yoga + pilates instructor who is down to earth and very encouraging. Instructor Consuelo is peaceful and intentional with Gentle Yoga Slow Flow for a more easy and meditative flow. If you're in or near Long Beach check out the studio. They offer classes from 6am - 7pm. 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Makai is the best Pilates studio. The instructors are very attentive and helpful. They foster a sense of community with lots of laughs. I love the class variety and schedule. The mind body connection is my therapy. I’ve never enjoyed a workout so much.

This is truly my happy place! I started at Makai almost one year ago and what a life changing experience. Beyond the amazing workouts, Eden and her team have created such a wonderful community. I know I have made friends for life.

Pretty mediocre. don't want a refund keep the money to find people that care about pilates. im never going again. I tried out this studio twice. Once for the SCULPT and another for the MIX class. I tried sculpt and it was ok, walked away feelings like I didn't get anything done. However the mix class, explained on the website as "A mix equipment format where ALL levels are WELCOME and PROGRESSIONS are TAUGHT." on the website...was simply put, not that. Sure we used the box and the chair, that was cool, so does every other studio. Instructions for sequences however were unclear and she only offered a harder variation once and it was for obliques AKA progressions easier or harder were NOT taught. Instructor used terms like "body flexion," nobody knew what that even meant or what was going on even for simple hundreds core work. the amount of times I lifted my head just to get an idea of what others were doing was distracting and disruptive and you'd be even more surprised by the times I locked eyes with people all over the room doing the same aka we were ALL confused. pilates should be smooth, clear, and adapt to people's understanding of whatever it is your instructing. I saw her correct people a maximum of five times in a 50 minute practice while she drank coffee in the corner of the room. instead of correcting her verbiage, pace or anything else about HER instructions, the instructor continued to let multiple people get the movement wrong and essentially perform half the sequence. this is not the attitude of assuming people don't know what THEYRE doing, this is the environment of "hey what I said didn't work for people, let me correct how I INSTRUCTED that." for a $45 class, I expect to get my BOOTY beat and get the form CORRECT. That, from a pilates class, where body position is FUNDAMENTAL, was disappointing. the instructor was also super rude, explaining to other students in the class the difference between their TOES and their HEELS as they were readjusting. be serious, who doesn't know the difference between toes and heels, she was being patronizing. she approached my reformer changed the springs without saying a word and acted like I DID something wrong even though other people didn't get it. Pilates is a grounding practice and having that attitude at seven in the morning is nuts. if you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, stay home. TBH I recommend places like COMMON GROUND PILATES! Better and better upbeat instructors and they actually correct your form or make it harder if they see you're stronger than the sequence provided!
