Pilates Movement, The

Walk into Manhattan's alternative take on upscale fitness and you'll find yourself surrounded by 100-plus workout stations and over 10,000 pounds of iron. The facility runs Precor ellipticals, a full lineup of treadmills, and stationary bikes across its floor. Winter mornings get crowded with people seeking refuge from the cold in group sessions—spinning classes, yoga flows, pilates reformers, and kickboxing rounds all happening simultaneously. Personal trainers roam the cardio theater section where rows of equipment face screens. The locker rooms feel more like a spa than a gym, complete with complimentary towels and a juice bar where you can refuel post-workout. Between traditional strength work and specialty classes like tai chi, there's enough variety to keep any routine feeling fresh.

You will find a relaxed atmosphere that is both inviting and instructional. Personal attention is a primary focus; therefore most sessions are taken privately or with only one other person. Our certified instructors are carefully chosen and are dedicated to their work. Their extensive resumes ensure quality teaching of the two methods. Each session focuses on form and technique coupled with the joy of movement.
