Love This Studio!
I live on the Upper East Side and have been going to The Pilates Movement since 2018. The owner Jen evaluates everyone on their first visit. I felt confident in her ability to address and understand any concerns I might have. Something very important to me was proper form and technique. The Pilates Movement instructors are all excellent in that regard. Before any class starts, we are asked how our bodies are feeling and, if there is anything going on, we are given alternative ways of doing the exercises. I have been taking a private lesson with Jen since the start and look forward to it every week. When we were in the studio, prior to COVID, the small classes were wonderful. The individual attention was also very important to me. Since COVID, I don’t get into the studio very often (although it was just renovated and am looking forward to checking it out). Currently, I take 2-3 classes a week virtually and stick to the 3 different instructors I like for each class. Each instructor offers something a little different and makes the class fun and interesting. I highly recommend The Pilates Movement.

Changed My Life!
“I’ve been taking classes here religiously for over three years and it completely changed the way my body looks and feels. The instructors always take into account how you feel on a given day and although they encourage us to challenge ourselves, I’ve never felt pressured. Not only is it a great workout but I also feel very relaxed and focused when I leave. The other clients I’ve met in class are also really fun to workout with. Overall one of my favorite places in new york.”

“It Works!”
“For me working with Jen is like a story–sometimes with words, most often through the way she fits the exercises themselves together. I end up knowing how my body can work best, feel good, & what I need to do to make that happen in everyday life as well as during a lesson. Pilates is great and Jen is a wonderful teacher.”

“I’ve been taking lessons with Jen in Tarrytown for well over a year: privates, duets and trios. Jen is the absolute best, super experienced and knowledgeable, explains everything, happy to answer my (many!) questions. I’ve learnt so much from her, highly recommend!”

“Jesolyn was so friendly and helpful! She knew I was the ‘newest” student and made sure that I felt comfortable with the rest of the class. I really enjoyed her class a lot!”

“I never did Pilates before my first session at The Pilates Movement but fell in love with it immediately. I’ve had private sessions with several different instructors and they are all amazing! I was struggling with some health challenges and the instructors helped me get stronger and build my core. I’ve been a client of The Pilates Movement for a few years now…Jen runs a great business and she is on top of everything; jugging appointments, installing new equipment and checking in with her clients. She hires only the best instructors who are very knowledgeable, professional and attentive. I highly recommend this Pilates studio”

“A friend recommended Pilates Movement and it is great! A small studio, you get individual attention. The instructors are all trained in classic Pilates and know what they are doing. Classes have only 3 students and can be tower or reformer. Or you can take a private. I walk straighter and have had no back issues since I have started. And I’m doing exercises I couldn’t do when I first started! Im so glad I found this small studio. The instructors are fantastic!”
