Great and frequent pilates classes

by Freccero at Citysearch

The folks here are serious teachers and they also have a sense of humor. The studio is light and airy, the classes are frequent, and the overall atmosphere is great. I love Core Pilates NYC.

Great teachers, but....

by EyeHeartPilates at Citysearch

I recently joined this studio. So far, I am impressed with the teachers. They provide the mats and filtered water, which is great!

The space is lovely, though it can get a bit crowded at times. Also, since there are multiple sessions going on, it can get distracting with all the talking. I wish they had some music just to level out the voices, also it would be calming. I've taken a mat class there and in the next room there are semi-private/private sessions going on and they talk really loudly. I know it's not just me because I heard my teacher complaining that she could not hear herself talk. Also, not crazy about some of the administrative staff, they talk and make noise during the sessions and one of them is rude.

I'm not sure if I will continue here, I really like the level of teaching, but the distractions can be really frustrating.

• Pros: Teachers, Space, Perks (water, mat)
• Cons: Admin. Staff, Noise, No Music

Made easy to motivate through organized booking system and great location

by willow25 at Citysearch

I've heard good things about this studio when they had their branch in Los Angeles and I was excited to see that they offered purchasing and self-scheduling online -- which was great for me while traveling in the city on business doing late hours. The system is very easy and straightforward and a great introduction to how easy and straightforward and CHALLENGING the teachers and overall feel of the studio is. Just wish they had a shower. But I truly felt Pilates in my body during the tower class and understood more than I ever had before what core means and what Pilates can do.

It seems like a true community there -- regulars and lots of guys (which means I can get my husband there).

I love it and am excited that every session in my tower package has been so worthwhile and fun to attend!

• Pros: Pretty sunny space, awesome location, strong and friendly teachers
• Cons: No shower

Great!!

by gmac223 at Citysearch

i went to core pilates for the first time last week and thought it was everything people have been saying. the trainers were excellent at what they do. i am very active and was surprised to discover a whole new group of muscles in my "powerhouse". the staff is helpful matching you with an istructor - they make great suggestions.

the starter kit is a great way to get started.

• Pros: lots of windows, great instructors
• Cons: gets busy at night

a workout with a view

by rickshawmama at Citysearch

Great selection - from group mat classes to semi-private or private classes. They've got something for everybody's budget. Friendly, thoughtful trainers cater their classes to your specific needs. Friendly, easy, and helpful scheduling. Beautiful space on the 9th floor (away from the noise of traffic!) with lots of windows, a great view and lots of natural light! Great workout and great vibe!

• Pros: variety of trainers, variety of machines, friendly and helpful employees
