New to Pilates?
At Rockstar Pilates, transformation begins with movement but never without style. This luxury Pilates studio in Los Angeles is where strength meets sophistication. Whether you’re refining your practice or just beginning, this boutique Pilates studio offers a glam-fitness sanctuary where every session is designed for precision, alignment, and confidence.
Before cueing pelvis lifts, founder Janelle Barreto fronted a punk-rock band and negotiated major record deals. After years of sitting and touring, her posture paid the price — until Pilates rebuilt it. That life-changing experience sparked her new mission: to blend movement with music, energy with exactness. Today, Rockstar Pilates is the result of a place where artistry and athleticism collide.
Movement is the ultimate self-expression

Movement is the ultimate self-expression
Janelle has always enjoyed an active lifestyle. From a young age she studied musical theater and various disciplines of dance including tap, jazz, modern, and ballet. As an adult she sought out various exercise programs – including yoga, spinning and fitness training – that would keep her body and mind healthy.
Janelle has been teaching for over 15+ years. She was part of the first group of instructors to open with MIGHTY PILATES in Santa Monica, helped to open and was Lead Instructor at CLUB PILATES Culver City, and taught at THE BODY PROCESS in Culver City.
Of all the exercise options out there, Pilates is her favorite. Janelle believes it’s the holy grail, the cure-all for all things neck, back, spine and hips, producing the best results for a strong, pain free and sculpted body. The personal success Janelle has had with Pilates led her to study the method. She wants others to experience the amazing benefits of Pilates, to help others to get relief, be pain free, and ultimately feel good. Janelle’s teaching radiates with this passion!
Janelle is STOTT PILATES trained and certified in Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Ladder Barrel, Arc Barrel and Jump Board through the John Garey Fitness & Pilates Studio in Long Beach, CA, as well as trained in TRX.
Keaton has been teaching Pilates for over a year and received her training at BodylineLA through the Balanced Body certification. She discovered Pilates after graduating college in Film and Literature. Her friend worked at a Pilates studio and said they were hiring a front desk position. She started working at the studio part time, and then gave up looking for film jobs because she loved Pilates so much. From there Keaton was sure she wanted to become certified and teach.
Keaton’s favorite thing about Pilates is watching people’s progress, especially seeing the improvement in their posture, and the growth in their confidence. As clients come in they start to stand taller and feel more comfortable with their bodies. Personally, Keaton loves Pilates because the focus and control reminds her of when she was a gymnast and dancer, plus it helps her to relieve any chronic back pain.
Keaton was born and raised in Santa Monica, CA and moved back to her hometown after graduating from San Francisco State University. When she’s not practicing on the Reformer or instructing classes, she loves to read at the beach and take care of her plants.
