Abbot Kinney at night.
Turning Point Pilates celebrated 10th Anniversary by introducing its new prime location in the heart of Venice at 910 Garfield Avenue and world-renowned Abbot Kinney Boulevard. The studio started in Venice and was previously in Marina del Rey.
The premiere and only truly Classical Pilates studio in Venice is founded by Pilates expert and entrepreneur, Robin Solo. The studio specializes in helping clients master their bodies and health by turning back the clock, essentially defying the aging process so that they look, feel and act younger.
Turning Point Pilates is a fully equipped boutique studio teaching the Classical Pilates Method, meaning that it’s as close to the teachings of creator Joseph Pilates as possible. Clients receive exceptional private and group instruction with a high level of personal attention in the warm, serene modern space.
Solo says, “My team and I truly enjoy being of service to our clients. We wanted to move into the heart of where most of our clients live, which is why we picked the new location in Venice. We’re here to make every ‘body’ feel empowered via the traditional classical Pilates method. My greatest pleasure is seeing people come in as beginners and then far surpass their prior limitations—whether it be overcoming an injury, the feeling of having lost their vitality or just needing to increase strength, tone and flexibility.”
Turning Point Pilates is happy to announce that it has now added online private instruction with Robin Solo via Zoom or Skype video conferencing, a great option for busy professionals, parents, etc in the comfort of home. Visit the studio online for more information or book a session. Note: A reformer is not required; just a mat and a few props.
A new service is nano current facial treatments, an electrical skincare treatment, a non-invasive pain-free age-reversal technology, firming muscle tone and improving the appearance of wrinkles and providing a subtle lift. You can get your face and your body in shape at Turning Point Pilates!
