One instructor. One client.

Amador Pilates is a private, appointment-only reformer studio on Sunset Boulevard, across the street from the Chateau Marmont. Every session is one on one, athletic and rooted in classic Pilates foundations.

Sessions are tailored to you. Whether you cross-train and want to be challenged or you are building a foundation, precise cueing and a methodical sequence meet you where you are. Springs and accessories are chosen with intention: heavier when that builds the challenge, lighter when that makes the work harder.

For ease and peace of mind, parking is taken care of for you in the back lot.

Niko's Pilates journey began over a decade ago as a client on the reformer. From there, he went to grad school and worked in tech for a while before feeling the pull back to his passion: fitness and wellness.

Today, Niko teaches with contemporary training on the reformer and Wunda Chair, paired with classical training on the mat. He has had the privilege of working at some of the top boutique studios in Los Angeles, and brings that experience into every private session.

Niko is a member of the Pilates Method Alliance and a forever student of the work. He continues his classical education to go deeper into the roots of Pilates, then brings what he learns back into his contemporary style of teaching.

Outside the studio, Niko lives in Beverly Hills with his partner and their two dogs.
