Editorial Review for Pilates on Fifth – by Drew Pisarra
The Scene
Katherine and Kimberly Corp pooled their combined savings from shared stints on the Radio City kick line to found this site for the teaching of Pilates. The dancers' dual endeavor incorporates developments in biomechanics--an advancement you'll see with equipment that's markedly sleeker, safer and less akin to mini-torture chambers.
The Workout
Although the staff is eager to devise an exercise routine for groups of up to five, more than 60 percent of customers opt for one-on-one instruction. The use of props--especially foam blocks, therabands and a halved physioball called a bosus--is key to retraining muscles in terms of range of motion and flexibility. Similar to the old-school ways, however, you'll be continually reminded to pay attention to posture, pelvic placement and abdominal contraction.

A great relaxed atmosphere with professional teachers and adults. You can absolutely get desired results in your body. Excellent teachers some of the ones I have worked with include: Matt and Abbey. I also got turned on to gyrotonics in this studio which is hard but fun. I would highly recommend it.

I have been coming to Pilates on Fifth for a while to tone up and lose weight. The instructors are knowledgable, nice and willing to work with you to customize a workout routine. Recently I've been taking the Cardiolates class and it's so much fun!! I recommend this class for anyone looking for group or private lessons.
Pros: Instructors, friendly staff, modern equipment, clean
