GoogleLoved the class and recommend anyone thinking about trying pilates to go ahead! I took an Intro Reformer class, with a group as a birthday celebration. The instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful. The space is clean and private. There are lockers, a bathroom, and changing room available for use.
Harlem Pilates is my home away from home. Harlem Pilates is for the community in every way; from fitness to giving back. So grateful that the community has you and you were the first to do it in a community that didn’t have access to Pilates before your introduction of it. Thank you is not enough for the immeasurable impact this studio has had on me and many others.
one of my favorite places in Harlem to clear my mind. I always leave feeling stronger and more grounded.
I truly loved this place! It’s my first Pilates class, I took the intro class and the instructor Taylor was just great! The place was clean and non intimidating. They keep the classes small enough and make sure you are in proper form! Looking forward to my next class, definitely the place to go if you want to start on the Pilates journey!
I like to come here. This was my first time doing pilates. They have a lot of classes, and I’m disabled, which the instructors are very empathetic towards. I enjoy that each class is different (as in I’m not doing the same things every time even though I am in the intro class). Everything is new and clean. I prefer coming here rather taking personal physical training sessions from the gym; it targets the core, and I usually feel much better about myself after the class, even if I’m tired from work. Unfortunately, their air conditioner has been down for 2 months. Hence, I don’t think I can go during the summer months anymore.
