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.”
