Hi, I’m Taylor
I was introduced to Pilates as cross-training while earning my BFA in dance at The Boston Conservatory. Shortly after graduating, I obtained my comprehensive Pilates certification through Alycea Ungaro’s Real Pilates Teacher Training program, and moved to Los Angeles where I taught alongside Saul Choza of Winsor Choza Pilates for five years. Under Saul's mentorship and guidance, I found my voice as a teacher and developed a deep appreciation for the Pilates system and a curiosity that continues to shape my teaching today.
I opened Physical in 2024 with a desire to bring exceptional private training to the good people of East LA. Today, I use Classical Pilates and strength training to help my clients build muscle, move better, and better understand their bodies. My years of movement training enable me to deliver true results for my clients, whether they’re working out for the first time or furthering their current practice.
I'm a lifelong learner and an accidental writer. You can find my work on the Gratz Pilates Blog, in Pilates Style Magazine, and every week in Physical Education, my newsletter exploring the science, history, and practice of movement.

I have so enjoyed working with her over these years, and her new studio is absolutely charming, her focus remains intense on bringing out the best in her clients physically and emotionally. If you are fortunate enough to discover her please rush to sign up.”
“Been working with Taylor for almost 5 years now, and so glad she opened her own beautiful space in Highland Park. The space is clean and calm with amazing equipment, and the workouts are always exactly what I need for that day. If you want to move in a low-key but super effective way, definitely sign up for a session with Taylor!”
“Taylor is awesome. I love the combo of pilates and strength training. And she has been super helpful with helping me make a plan to supplement w workouts at home. Every session is super customized and she is so knowledgeable and really works at your pace. Could not recommend her more!!”
