I have always been an overly athletic person,but after a spinal injury and surgery,that all changed. I had been doing simple pilates movements during my rehabilataion to build up the "core area" and had noticed a big change. I was ready for the next step, I wanted to up my pilates knowledge and skill but was not sure where to go. Gyms were to "rough" for me and did not give me the personal attention that i needed. A friend recommend Uptown Pilates on Madison. I was expecting to be let down like I was at the other "high end" studios I had researched. Was I wrong!!!!!! It was the most pleasant and rewarding experience I had ever done!!!! All of the instructors are classicaly trained and are very intune to the human body and it's needs--and limits. They don't just yell postions at you they really work with you to achieve your goals. A personal plus for myself was the fantastic lighting,great space,and most of all THE CLEANINESS!!!!!!!!!! Such a pleasure from a typical smelly gym. Really, you can't go wrong here--great instructors,fantastic enviornment,an owner who you see often and is very involved with her clientel,clean as a whistle and the girls at the front desk are FABULOUS!!!!!! No let downs her Ladies!!!

Pros: great instructors--no divas--fantastic space,clean as could be!!!!

Cons: none

I highly recommend this studio to every person who wants a spiritually and physically rewarding experience. Aesthetically, this place is gorgeous. As soon as I walk through the glass doors I feel the stresses of my daily life melt away. The lighting, colors, and just overall soothing ambience make it highly conducive to a great workout. All of the teachers are trained in the Authentic Classical Pilates method and really cater to my needs. They also are walking advertisments of the wonders that Pilates can do to ones figure! Unlike some other studios, the group classes here only hold a maximum of five people, so that each individual gets a lot of attention. The studio is also always pristine. There is no dust I can see, always a nice temperature and doesn't stink like some gyms do. I also do a lot of my shopping at the studio! They sell a great array of comfy clothes (like so lows), great moisturizer, candles, and jewelry!

Pros: Ambience, Teachers, EVERYTHING

I have been told that I should be doing Pilates for years now. Everyone from my doctor to my mom has praised the benefit. I tried a few times at my gym and everytime thought it was so boring...that was until I went to Uptown Pilates. I have a new found respect for the excersise method and highly encourage everyone to get involved. If it was not for the warm response I got from everyone at the studio I am not sure I would have given Pilates a fair shot. I am so pleased with the results!!

Pros: Friendly Staff; Knowlegable Instructors; Clean Facility

Cons: none

You must go to this studio to see what sets it apart.; there is nothing like it anywhere! The studio feels like a spa and although the workout is grueling you still feel the pampering of an immaculately run spa facility.

Pros: cleanliness, decor, lighting, personal attention

Uptown Pilates on Madison is truly an oasis of serenity where you can go for the ultimate workout! As a working mom I made a New Years resolution to make time in my busy schedule for one workout session a week. I committed to Pilates and called Uptown Pilates. From the very beginning my experience has been terrific. The front desk help was delightful in informing me about Pilates and the studio before I even came, my instructors since I have been there have been patient, insightful and have provided me with a sore tummy over and over again and the owner manages the studio with such respect and care for each of her client's needs. My love for Uptown Pilates, which I now call my 'happy place' is endless. I have even managed to find a way to squeeze in an extra session every week. This studio if phenomenal and I recommend it to everyone, especially any moms who are looking to shed their post -natal tummies; I am ecstatic with my results.

Pros: Ambience, Kindness of staff, results from my lessons

Uptown Pilates is the perfect studio for those who love the Pilates method. It has a range of group classes with and without equipment for every skill level. I've been doing Pilates for years and I find that each instructor at Uptown Pilates teaches me something new and knows how to keep me challenged each visit. The staff and instructors are professional and friendly.

Pros: classes, care of individual client needs, studio ambience and energy

I have been to MANY pilates studios in NYC and around the country and I have never felt the need to write a review on one of them until now. I loved my session at this studio so much. I have never gotten such a kick butt workout. The instructor's focus on precision made me work so deeply and intensily it was like no other workout ever. I have already signed up for every free hour that I have in the next two weeks. In addition to the workout I loved the ambience of this studio. It was spotlessly clean, the owner was there and could not be more inviting or sweet...the whole operation was of the highest class.

Pros: workout, instuctors, owner, cleanliness, style of premise

Cons: none
