I had never done classical pilates before, only contemporary and decided to book a private. I was scheduled with Kimberly and she was wonderful ! She was very welcoming, friendly and really made me feel comfortable being there for the first time. I would recommend and will be back when I am in the city.

The Real Pilates UES studio is one of the very best jewels in NYC. I feel thankful and thrilled to teach traditional Pilates technique here! This studio is a sterling classical Pilates training center. Everyone is welcome to experience the positive energy, great spirit, and excellent knowledge learned in every lesson and class!

This is a wonderful studio. All the instructors are knowledgable and friendly. I've taken private, group reformer, and tower classes--and all of been top notch. I especially recommend Melissa and Kimberly, who taught my class this morning and I felt so much better when I walked out than when I walked in!
