great instructors :)

I was just walking down 2nd ave the other day and stumbled upon this studio. The desk girl was super friendly and showed me all around the studio. I ended up taking a tower mat class the next day and I left feeling awesome! There were a few advanced woman in the class, but as a beginner I felt totally comfortable and the teacher guided me along.

I will definitely come back with my friend next time. Time to get in bikini shape!

• Pros: great workout, awesome staff
• Cons: none yet

• Pros: Experienced Instructors

Fantastic workout! Great Staff!

I have been an avid pilates student for a few years now and recently moved to the UES. I was looking everywhere for a pilates studio when I found Center for Movement. This studio is fantastic! The staff is extremely caring and attentive to each individual they teach. They work with your body and make sure you get the maximum workout without hurting or straining yourself. I have definitely noticed a positive change in my body and in my strength.

• Pros: attentive staff, noticed a difference in my body
• Cons: nothing

Not Just For "Twenty Somethings"!

by sbernow at Citysearch

Center Studio caters to people of all ages and as an almost Medicare eligible client, I will be saving the gov't a lot of money because of the healthy exercise I get. As a warm, friendly and welcoming place for those new to Pilates and those who have done it for years, Center Studio is the best place I have found in NYC and I have dilligently tried others. My instructor is smart, knowledgeable and very encouraging. She thoughtfully alters my exercises to relieve stress on an occasionally achy body part. I often go to the user- friendly Center Studio site to switch my sessions, add new ones and book times with other instructors. And all the instructors I've tried have been great. The convenient location in the Upper West Side JCC enables me to reward myself for my energetic and satisfying workout with a smoothie in the cafe downstairs after my session.

• Cons: Welcoming and skilled with all ages, men and women!

The Most Rewarding Pilates in All of Manhattan

by PilatesEnthusiast at Citysearch

As an avid Pilates student, I have not come across and studio that is as enjoyable, effective and beautiful as this one. The professional staff makes it their personal goal to challenge student, and attend to their needs/injuries. The inexpensive rates permit you to purchase a series ( which could consist of 5, 10, or 20 clases) The integrity of the method is preserved by the knowledgable staff, and owners ( who are also fantastic instructors) This intimate studio puts you at ease while engaging in Pilates Tower or Reformer Class. Be sure to check them out, for your experience will surpass any Pilates you have had in the past!

• Pros: Small class sizes, knowledgable and encouraging staff, affordable rates, soothing ambiance
• Cons: Can't think of any
