The Pilates Movement Upper East Side

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.

Terrific studio. Great for beginners to start their practice and also excellent for experienced ones. Instructors are well trained and know how to teach. Good for classes—very small (max 3 participants) and focused—and for private sessions. Or a mixture of the two! Highly recommend.

The Pilates Movement was a real find. I'm a newbie and Emily is gentle and skilled. I highly recommend them. I believe several clients have been going there for YEARS! A great endorsement!

A well appointed studio with lots of personal attention. Emily has been a great teacher, tailoring lessons to my specific goals and I've seen the results

AMAZING VIRTUAL PILATES CLASS. the perfect amount of challenge combined with deep stretching in between exercises. I feel honored to have taken a class with Jesolyn, such an experienced instructor, with 30+ years of teaching (and it shows, hah!) Through out the class she made sure all the students were performing the exercises properly and she corrected our form if needed. She also gave modifications to tailor to each individual student. I highly recommend this studio, specifically, Jesolyn’s virtual mat class. Thank you!!!
