BEST IN NYC

by Yoganyc1984

This studio is the best thing that happened to Pilates. ALL of the instructors are very knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone on on staff knows me by name. The classes are small and challenging with individual attention. What more can you ask for?! It will not disappoint!

• Pros: clean, friendly, great workout
• Cons: none

The BEST Pilates in town

by KSS

I was afraid to leave my downtown Pilates trainer of several years, but found the best studio in town right in my neighborhood. Mika has designed the studio to be welcoming, with lots of light and African art to contemplate as you work out. Kelly welcomes and cheerfully keeps everyone organized. My trainer Nicole is the best. She keeps me motivated and has stregthened and re-alligned my body, making sure my workouts are challenging and that I never overdo or hurt anything. We're so lucky to have Uptown Pilates uptown.

• Pros: Fantastic owner and staff
• Cons: Can't think of any.

A great workout

by fitnessgrl911

My friends call me a fitness freak. I have been running, biking, and yoga-ing for years now. I had taken a mat pilates class a few years ago at a studio in NYC. This class actually turned me off of pilates. A few months ago I realized that my legs felt heavy and bulky from years of doing only traditional workouts. My friend recommended that I try pilates insisting that I would gain lean muscle and flexibility. Indeed after about 10 private sessions I did see a difference in my shape, posture, and flexibility. I was also thrilled that, unlike the studio I went to a few years ago, Uptown Pilates is clean and the instructors are great. Thanks Uptown!

• Pros: clean, great instructors, flexible hours, community
• Cons: none

Best Pilates Studio in NYC

by pilatesgrl1

I started going to Uptown Pilates about three weeks ago. I found the studio on City Search and saw that it won best studio in 2008. After going there for three weeks, I understand why it won. I have a tried many of the teachers and they are all very knowledgable, engaged, and give me a great workout. I have already noticed a difference in my figure. I am standing up taller, my abs feel tighter, and I just feel better emotionally and physically. Not only are the teachers great, but the studio is also pristine and gorgeous. The receptionists are also very accomadating and will really try their hardest to book you the appointment that you want. I highly recommend this studio.

• Pros: great teachers and staff, clean, and aesthetically pleasing
• Cons: none

Workouts for YOU, not just everybody

by MMCH

At Uptown Pilates, the staff are concerned about ME. They keep detailed records of past injuries, and they track my progress in each class. I can feel myself improving in strength and flexibility with each session! The instructors keep up a dialogue to ensure that we're both on the same page and I never feel uncomfortable asking questions. The atmosphere is perfect...stylish, yet comfortable. I never feel crowded or agitated. Thank you, U.P.!

After a few years...this place is still amazing

by ell4216

I've been coming to Uptown Pilates since it opened and I am amazed that it still provides the best service in NYC. I just came home from another great workout with a new teacher and felt compelled to write a review. Whoever is hiring the instructors is doing a very good job. The instructors may vary in their teaching styles, but they are all attentive, compassionate, knowledgable and challenging. It is clear that these instructors really love pilates and teaching it. They will go out of their way to help you improve or reach your fitness goals. I also need to comment about the cleanliness of this studio, Unlike most gyms and big yoga/pilates studios, this studio is always pristine. The bathrooms, shower, and dressing room always smell nice and are squeaky clean. The equipment is also always clean. No apparatus is ever left without being wiped down with antibacterial spray. I will be going to the east side studio in a few days for my first lesson over there and am eager to see if it is as perfect as the westside's!!

• Pros: easy scheduling, helpful receptionists, great teachers, great ambience, great pilates community!
• Cons: none!

Best Pilates Studio in New York City!

Uptown Pilates is Great! The instructors are well trained and friendly. The atmosphere is serene and welcoming. The whole around experience was fantastic. love that I can take classes that are small so they still feel really personal. The privates really give me a great workout and I get the one on one attention I need. Such a great experience everytime I go!

World Class, Top Notch, Best of the Best Pilates Studio

by LucyLyons

Who would guess anyone could get so excited about a Pilates studio...but really this is the best! I walk out of this studio feeling good about myself and my hour spent working my butt off. All the girls here are the best. I have worked with most of the instructors and all of them are incredible, so knowledgeable and eager to share that knowledge! The ambience could not be more inviting, from the warm smile and quick laughs at the front desk, to the instructors who truly care about the clients (and vice versa). The owner knows everyone's names and their personal needs. Although it is a thriving business no one is lost in the shuffle...keep it up!!!!! !!!!!

• Pros: the workout, the facility, the staff
• Cons: none
