GoogleBombshell has completely changed my experience of Pilates!!! Before coming here, I didn’t have much understanding of the method and assumed it wasn’t the right fit for me. This studio shifted that perspective right away. The instructors are knowledgeable, precise, and clearly committed to the integrity of the Pilates method. The cueing is thoughtful, the programming is challenging, and the attention to individual students stands out. As someone with a background in dance and somatic psychotherapy and movement work, I really appreciate the quality of instruction here. Classes feel intentional and well-structured, with a strong focus on strength, control, and body awareness. Beyond the workouts, the studio has a welcoming, inclusive feel. It’s a supportive environment and has a genuine sense of community—something that’s not always easy to find in NYC. Highly recommend for anyone looking for smart, well-taught classical Pilates in a warm and professional setting!!!
Beginning my Pilates journey in June 2024 at Bombshell Pilates was one of the best decisions I’ve made and truly changed my life for the better. The intimate class sizes, expertise, and passion of all the wonderful instructors have been such a blessing and allowed me to advance my skills in a shorter period of time. This studio is one of the only true classical Pilates studios in Manhattan! Pilates has helped me feel stronger and more connected to my body, both physically and mentally. It has significantly improved my anxiety, flexibility, balance, and ability to maintain a healthy and consistent weight.
I started coming to the studio two years ago when they offered free Saturday mat classes in the park near the Chelsea location. Since then, I’ve booked standing reformer sessions with Alex and have attended mat classes with the various staff religiously for two years. Not only has my balance and overall strength improved, but my consistency around working out has exponentially increased due to how much I look forward to attending class. Kelly is an expert in her field and I am thrilled any time I have the opportunity for a 1-1 mat/reformer session since she really pushes you to your limit (in a good way!). All the staff are wonderful and I could not recommend a studio more.
I can not say enough great things about Bombshell Pilates. Not only is each instructor fabulous in their own right, but you also get such personalized attention as a client in AND out of the studio. You can tell Kelly and her team care so much about the people that work with them and want to make an active difference in their Pilates journeys. 10/10, would recommend to anyone - beginners to masters, Bombshell is an amazing place to practice Pilates.
Wow! Just finished my first EVER Pilates class with Kelly and i had a terrific experience. She is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and, most of all, she goes at your pace. Kelly's attention to detail and precise instruction made be feel safe the entire time. I was so surprised by how much fun the class was! (and how much my core was engaged). I cannot recommend her enough. Whether you are new to Pilates, have years of experience, or are looking for something fun to try, you HAVE to see her. She is the best.
