I have taken Gyrotonic sessions & Gyrokinesis classes at Body Evolution on & off for the last 4 years. I have also completed my Gyrotonic teacher training with Billy Macagnone. Being a teacher of fitness, Pilates & now Gyrotonic for over 20 years - I have found my experiences at Body Evolution & with Billy to be detailed, professional, informative, uplifting and fun! His knowledge of the work surpasses many other teachers I have experienced. Thank you for making my trips to your studio from CT worth it!

Pros: Ambience, Knowledge of staff, Warm & personal service

I'm a professional dancer with Pilobolus and have been going to Body Evolution, on and off, for the past three years. With the extreme physical activity of being a dancer and the demanding performance schedule of being on tour, Gyrotonic has not only helped save my body, but has informed me on how to be a more sound and apt mover. The exercises on the various machines are organic, challenging, and creative and there's something for everyone. After each session, the results for me are immediate. My body feels longer and stronger and my lines of energy are much more open. This studio is amazing and master trainer Billy Macagnone and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and completely dedicated to this wonderful healing work and the well-being of all their clients/students. I am a true believer of this work and encourge everyone to give it a try.

Pros: Offers Gyro, Yoga, and Pilates - Lots of different equipment to work on.

After years of paying close attention to my body and doing all types of fitness modalities for over 25 yrs, running,weight training, swimming, competitve aerobics and more. Gyrotonic has by far superceeded all of the disciplines i have praticed! There is a nuturing and a healing of the body that takes place instantly and all of the problems that i have encountered from the years of improper use of my body are quickly going away. I have found a new freedom and ease in my body that has only been discovered since training with Master Trainer Billy Macagnone and also other trainers in Body Evolution. I am so happy i found this place, I highly reccomend this for anyone looking to find a better home in thier bodies as i have from training at this wonderful studio on 2nd ave! Sincerly yours, Marissa Anderson (registered nurse)

Pros: Welcoming, Relaxing, environment!

Cons: none

After training in various Gyrotonic Studio's here in manhattan i have found that Body Evolution has just the right vibe for me. You really have to see this place to believe it, the energy there is so nurturing and vibrant! From the moment you walk in you are impressed by the wonderful display of crystals and fountains surrounded by plants and of coarse the craftmenship of all the gyrotonic equiptment (which by the way is one of the few studios that has all the specialized equiptment) Then you are walked into the 800 sq ft clear doome in the garden and bamboo floors which takes your breath away!!! Of coarse the training is all done under the expert care of owner Master Trainer Billy Macagnone who has built a staff based on care and concern for the clients which matches the beauty of his place! I will continue to come to Body Evolution for as long as they are open which i hope is for a very long time!

Pros: the best environment for studying your body in new york city

Cons: none

You really wont believe this place when you walk in! There is such a friendly atmosphere that welcomes everyone. As soon as you enter you feel welcome and so peaceful! They have built a see thru 800sq foot retractable doome in the back yard which is decorated with all types of plants and fountains. You forget right away that your in the city! To study movement in this environment is such a change from the regular studio in the city, this is a very rare and special place. The trainers are also such experts, all guided under the Master Trainer Billy Macagnone who embodies the spirit of Gyrotonic Pratice!

Pros: thumbs up! Easy to get to, just a few blocks form union sq station!
