Doves Bodies

I've been looking for a class that would challenge my ability as a professional dancer and I never thought that I would be able to find a class that would challenge me in all aspects. Dove's energy and passion makes you think that you can do anything and pushes you to your furthest potential. I am so happy to be able to have her in my repertoire. I can now feel confident in my dancing that my core and strength are supported by her technique and guidance. I recommend it to all those looking for proper training that gets results and changes your life. Go! I promise you it will change your life. more

Dove has been responsible for bringing my body, mind and soul back to health. I have had 6 major surgeries in the last couple of years and was told by my Doctors that I would probably never have any feeling in my upper body again...Needless to say, after taking Dove's class for the last year, boy do I feel my chest and arms etc. again. Ouch!! Pros: Great music!! more

I love Dove and her work-outs! No two work-outs are ever the same and she always works your entire body! You will get more than you've paid for when you work out with her. And, the best part of all, it's as if you've paid for a personal trainer --nothing gets past Dove. She makes each and every work out special, even when your in a large group of people! I highly recommend Dove to those who are just starting out as well as to those who are work out snobs! She will not disappoint! She's a great coach, so if you're new to working out or, or need a tune up, or are bored with your current routine--you've got a great reason to come and see her! A+++++++ Pros: Great work out! more

I have been to a lot of different classes around town and this is by far the most innovative total body workout. The classes are always different. The music is great, and you are moving the whole time. If you want to get stronger, have more flexibility, and really see a difference in your body then don't miss this class. I Highly recommend it! Pros: always different more

She's got 'em, and can help you get 'em! Dove is the consumate body sculptor, a true fitness force. She's been around longer than anyone else because she's dynamic and innovative and lives by what she teaches. There is no better class! And, as a fitness preofessional for over 15 years, I can honestly say that she is the best person this induatry has to offer. I'm proud to be her friend, and and not ashamed to say I'm afraid of her classes! more

Dove's workout classes are without a doubt, the best in Los Angeles. The classes are truely a ""TOTAL AND COMPLETE"" workout for the body, mind and spirit. All aspects of myself are strengthened and rejuvinated after finishing one class...My body is strong and toned, my mind is cleared of mental garbage, and my spirit/heart feels greater peace. Taking Dove's class is the ultimate best thing I do for myself!!! Pros: lots more

I would need three pages to write about my gratitude towards Dove, my appreciation of her skills, and my liking of her class. But since that is not an option, I will try to sum it up?Dove?s Bodies has changed my life. I am 34 years old and in better shape than I have ever been, even after having two children. Dove leads the most incredible workout, and takes on the responsibility of meeting the needs of each individual in her studio. She is always watching you closely to make sure that you are challenging yourself and that your form is safe and correct. She is professional, environmentally conscious, and very knowledgeable. She encourages you throughout the whole class. Dove?s music is indescribably motivating. There is something about the songs she chooses that force your adrenaline to pump and your energy to skyrocket. There is never a moment of boredom as the workout is constantly varied. It involves squats, push-ups, sit-ups, jumping rope, jumping jacks, weights, resistance bands, steps, hula hoops, kicking, leg lifts, stretching, and much more. It is a full body workout and a spiritual one as well. You leave Dove?s Studio feeling empowered, accomplished, and stress-free. I recommend this class 100% whether you live in the valley, the city, or the beach area. It is a class well worth taking! more

Let me begin with that I am a single mother of three and I have little to no time to give to myself. So when I came across Dove's Bodies workout I found myself being stimulated on all fronts. The class not only works the hell out of my body, it makes me feel great about giving to myself. The meditation and stretching after the workout helps me gather myself physcially and mentally-- I feel connected to myself. I feel like I can go out into the world and be my best. My body looks better than ever, and it's because of Dove. Every part of my body gets worked!!! It's the best workout EVER!!! Pros: Ambience more

hi, i felt inclined to write a review about my experience at dove's bodies because it was truly like no other i have ever had...and i have had a lot! first thing i loved was how dove takes care of her studio, instantly i felt taken care of as i was greeted at the door and pleasantly welcomed into her studio. it was nice to be greeted by the owner, very rare in this town. her studio is beautiful, everything she sells is eco-friendly, organic, etc. it was so nice to be around someone who cared not only for her customers, her community, but the planet too. after flipping through her press kit i learned she is very comitted to charity work and local schools as well...i haven't even worked out yet and i already love this place! she had me fill out a medical release form, who does that in l.a.? it was so nice that she cared, she wanted to know about my fitness history, family history, if i had any injuries, who referred me, it was amazing! i felt so cared for...but i had heard about her workouts, so i still was a bit nervous, yet very impressed thus far...she showed me around and i sat and stretched for a while as her regulars filtered in and noticed that she greeted every single one by name...wow! how does she do that? anyways, the class started and her music selection and style of teaching was hypnotic. she took me on such a great journey for my body, my mind and my spirit...i loved it! it was hard as hell, don't get me wrong...not for everybody! but if you want to push yourself, work outside of the box, be in the hands of a pro and a caring being, and change your life...this is the place! i loved my experience here and recommend it to everyone. dove is now part of my life and i love it. to top it off she called me the next day to see how i was feeling and thank me for coming to her studio. that was the icing on the cake! it is so rare to have such aware customer service and i really appreciate her and what she has created. my body has changed too! Pros: plenty of parking, great music!, flawless workouts, great instruction, kind, courteous, customer service!, safe, challenging...i could go on forever! Cons: none what so ever... more

I've never taken the time to write a review before but I felt that everyone would benefit from this experience so I wanted to share my thoughts. I've been passionate about health and fitness for over 11 years now and I'm always open to trying out new workouts and fitness studios. Some I've really liked which I'll go through a phase of taking religiosly. Pros: organized, professional, feels like a family Cons: can't think of a single one more

Dove's bodies is THE most amazing workout experience I have ever had! My profession as an editor keeps me at a desk on a chair for countless hours on end, Dove's high intensity, fun, unique and vibrant workout class is just what I need either to get through my day, or to let off some steam at the end of it! The workout is circuit based in a sense, where Dove has you do a variety of workouts and she calls your name. You never know what you're in for until she screams out your name! This is one of the reasons I love this class is that it is very personal, and always different. You feel like you are getting a personal trainer, but with the energy of a room full of motivated bodies! Pros: Super friendly, the most amazing, unique and personal workout you can get. Cons: parking is sometimes tricky, but there's usually enough. more

I love Dove's Bodies for a really strenous work-out! If you want to exercise all your body parts while listening to great music that drives you to push yourself, then these classes are for you! If you want to stretch and slowly get in shape while looking pretty, don't bother...Dove is amazing and inspires her classes to achieve their best, then push past that and stay there. I have been an aerobic instructor and trainer for years and she kicks my butt!! This is a fast paced class and you can work at your own pace, but once you get in there and hear the music, trust me, you will be pushing yourself!! But enjoy it - your body will love you and your heart will stay young! Pros: Hard work, lots of sweat and calories burned, excellent music, great instructor! Cons: Too strenuous for any beginner, injured person returning to work-out or weekend warrior, some regulars are too competitive and pushy more

In my opinion dove rose has the secret for anyone looking to improve,reshape or,reconstruct their bodies.with so much emphasis in hollywood on image and body, you can feel comfortable,safe and well taken care of at her fantastic intimate studio in studio city where most artists like to go and have a real,authentic,well structured workout with the most incredible music in her playlist.she has the knowledge and spirit perfect for anyone looking to go to the next level in their workouts. Dove rose is on another level that has not been matched yet in hollyweird. Tyce diorio Pros: everything! more

I am not your typical ""workout girl""...but let me tell you how incredible I felt after I completed Dove's class! I felt like I could take on the world...and it only motivates you to do it again! Dove is motivating yet personable. She really cares about you and you can feel it. Also, she pushes you farther than you thought you could go! It truly is a PERFECT workout! And you really DO see results! It is time well spent on making yourself feel better than you have ever felt before...I promise you will feel so elated and proud of yourself afterwards! Pros: Dove is incredible and motivating, parking is great, she provides great instruction, class sizes are great! more

I have been working out with Dove since she started out at Nautlis Plus. Even then, when she was probably no more than 16, her class was the star of the club. She is dedicated, innovative and knows exactly how to work out your body without causing injuries. In all of my travels, I have never found any workout to compare. If you go to this class, within weeks you will notice an improvement in your cardio fitness, strength and most important of course, in the way you look. I notice one reviewer said she was rude . . . it made me laugh. Everyone knows ""Dove has issues!"" (Which she points out whenever she takes time to perfectly line up the mats.) She has matured and mellowed over the years; you should have known her when she was 18!! Her class moves quickly and she is intensely focused. This is not a ""cumbaya"" class, it's for a serious work out--but there are lots of laughs and humor. There is no judgement as long as you do your best. Dove is brisk and commands your attention. Yet her good heart, charity work and focus, during her meditative cool-down, on gratitude reminds us of what's important . . . and that doesn't include a touchy/feely fitness expert. Pros: Innovative, knowledgeable, not boring, challenging, easy parking, no hassel (if you need to modify an exercise accordingly, that's fine) Cons: sore muscles the next day more

I was treated so rudely during the class. I would not recommend it to anyone. You shouldn't pay money and be treated poorly. I would rather spend the same amount of money on a tennis lesson at Toluca Lake tennis club or go for a run in the hills. Pros: High intensity cardio. Cons: Offensive service. more
