Five Starr Pilates & Fitness
Become the best version of yourself.
Hello, my name is Starr Bunch, owner of Five Starr Pilates & Fitness. In 2008 I wanted to start taking Pilates reformer classes but the closest studio I could find was a 25 minute drive from my home in Wrigley. So when I began instructor training in 2011 and decided to go big or go home and take rod dad open a studio, close to home was a no brainer. I was originally going to lease the old blockbuster building on LB Blvd and Roosevelt, but that deal fell through and I stumbled into the old bike shop that was on LB Blvd and Bixby in an old house that is now Steelcraft. The owner told me that there was going to be space in the rehabbed building next door, and I met with the owners and it was a perfect fit!
At Five Starr Pilates & Fitness we offer Pilates reformer and indoor cycling classes as well as private training in the community of Bixby Knolls and its surrounding neighbors in Long Beach, California since 2013. Our instructors carry with them over 30 years of combined fitness experience and knowledge. We take great pride in providing a sound and safe curriculum that is always an amazing workout.
We want to make fitness less intimidating, the experience more accepting of all fitness levels and share the love of movement and wellness with our community. At Five Starr Pilates & Fitness you will feel the community love and vibe the moment you step in the door. A genuine care for the wellness of everyone is shared by everyone and it is contagious.
I would love for people to not be afraid to try Pilates. We get clients of all ages, body types, fitness levels and all are welcome. Pilates IS for everyone! Try an orientation class on Fridays at 4:45pm or Saturdays at 11am and see that it is truly a gift for everyone.
In the fitness industry it is a must to always bring in new clientele because fitness journeys can change suddenly in our world. So marketing and establishing brand awareness were our biggest challenges. However with our decision to remain open and hold classes outdoors for over a year during the pandemic we achieved both and established ourselves as here to stay and support our community with wellness and movement.
Movement is not only good for the body, but the mind benefits even more. Come try us out and see how much your mental, emotional and phsyical being change for the better. In this day and age we all must take our wellness seriously and Five Starr Pilates & Fitness is here to help!
