After years as a marathon runner, I needed to find a workout that would strengthen my body but not cause the wear and tear on joints that running does. This method and this studio have changed and sculpted my body more than any other, and helped me train my mind to focus and persevere. It’s the most challenging, effective, and satisfying workout I’ve ever done. I’ve tried many other Lagree studios in LA and in other cities during my travels, and The Studio (MDR) is at the top...

I’ve been going to The Studio MDR for 8 months now and have nothing but amazing things to say about the studio, the classes, the staff and the awesome instructors! I originally started going to The Studio MDR to help strengthen my lower back and it has now become my main method of working out. From day one, Stephanie has been the most amazing instructor. She helps me reach my goals and always modifies moves for me when I’m injured or just feeling weak. She instantly became not only my favorite instructor, but also a great friend and workout mentor! I recommend the studio to all my friends/coworkers and have even gotten a few to join with me! I highly recommend The Studio MDR!

I'm new to pilates but so far I have really enjoyed going to The Studio (MDR) in Playa Vista. The equipment is extremely well kept and the instructors are amazing. I get a great workout in that I wouldn't be able to get on my own. The best thing is actually the number of classes offered amongst all the studios. Playa Vista location is the closest to me and I try to go to most of the 5:30 am classes. Loved it so far.

This is the best workout and best gym ever! I found it on ClassPass about a year ago when I started working out for the first time after a really bad arm injury (and also needed to get in shape for my wedding) and it changed my life! The classes are super challenging at first but when I switched from sporadically signing up through ClassPass to getting a monthly membership and going consistently I saw dramatic results. All of the instructors are awesome, especially Yumi's 5 and 6 am classes. I'm not even a morning person but I go to sleep excited to wake up and go workout, which is definitely not typical of most workouts I've tried!

The Studio MDR has made me enjoy working out again. It is the one work out that never gets boring and is always challenging. In addition to being an amazing and effective method, The Studio MDR has the best instructors in the game. Erika Rae, Olivia and Lindsay are my favorites and are so welcoming and encouraging. I will be an MDR member for many years to come!

You know you've struck gold when you're excited to workout after a long day. I've been going to the studio mdr for years and it's the only workout I do. The best part about this workout is that it NEVER gets easier. You'll walk out drenched in sweat and shaking, in that I just had the best workout of my life kind of way... every time. But my favorite thing abut the studio mdr is the amazing community. You see instructors taking each other's classes and strangers becoming friends. If it's your first class bring a towel, water bottle and wear toe socks (trust).

Now that Im in my 40's I needed something to make me feel stronger and leaner without hurting my joints and risking an injury yet I still wanted to feel like I got my butt kicked. The Studio has done this for me! I feel fantastic and everyday that I go I'm surprising myself with what my body can do and how far I have come. I want to especially give a great big shout out to Casey the instructor who keeps me motivated and believes in me!

Amazing workout and the best instructors! Love the flexible class times from early morning to late night at all three locations. The workouts are always a challenge and your body will start to strengthen and tone after only a few weeks.

Just got my two year anniversary email from the amazing studio mdr. This is a great workout and Lisa has created an amazing environment and community. I started lagree as rehab from back surgery number 2..little.did I know how effective this workout is. Erica rae, albina, and Mary are the teachers I usually take but everyone is great. Thank you.

I was on vacation the last week of April and found a Pilates studio in Puerto Vallarta. It was an interesting experience. I was assuming that all Pilate’s classes are the same as The Studio. I was so wrong! I decided to look for a studio to work out because I would hear other clients come in from their vacation saying that they had lost strength etc. I decided that I have been faithful to The Studio MDR for a year and I wasn't about to lose what I have worked so hard for.

This studio is the absolute best! I drive 2 hours (roundtrip) 4x a week to take class! I originally lived close by and when I moved I tried the studio near me in Pasedena -- I quickly learn just how important the energy and trainers are to this workout ! I got injured twice in 2 months at the new studio, didn't lose a single pound, and wasn't treated well. Lisa is an amazing owner and all the trainers I've experience have been caring and knowledgeable. Working with Ky has been a dream and is worth driving hours a day for! I never thought I'd be driving hours to go to any studio but its worth it for this workout and the results !

I just took my very first class last week and immediately after class I signed up for unlimited monthly class package because I knew I wouldn't be able to get enough! First of all, when you walk in and look around and you see nothing but people with amazing bodies you know IT MUST WORK! Secondly, I literally was a walk-in off of the street and went inside to ask a few questions and the font desk staff was SO FRIENDLY and WELCOMING and helped me schedule my first class for tha...

I love this place! Yes, I am a newbie, but no one here made me feel that way, which was so great for this mommy getting back into the hang of things (FINALLY). I'm happy to have found a new fitness home and anticipate great things!! 10/10 would recommend!!

This is by far the best work out studio, if you want to see change and make a change in your life start working out here! Everyone is amazing the staff is very dedicated and always makes sure to help. Lisa is such a kind person, the front desk girl Elizabeth will answer any questions and is always willing to help, all of the instructors are great, but I absolutely LOVE Mary. She gives you a great work out, but takes the time to make you feel comfortable in every class! Love Studio MDR!!

I was a little apprehensive trying out a new Lagree studio because the one I used to go to was amazing. But I moved to this area and really missed my workouts. I'm so happy I tried The Studio MDR. I've been going for about 7 weeks now and instantly my body has transformed. I usually go to Casey's classes because she's my fave! Thank you Casey and Studio MDR. I LOVE it here

Discovered Lagree and The Studio (MDR) via Classpass in 2014. I have long since gotten a full membership and would never dream of going to another Lagree studio in LA. The classes are intense, the instructors are amazing, and the community is wonderful.

I love the Studio! Every instructor is friendly and helpful. The staff that works the front is so awesome as well. The workout is the best and most effective workout I know!!!
