Avea Pilates — Local services in New York

Avea Pilates is amazing! I've been a big fan of movement/flow based exercises all my life.

This was my first experience with reformer. Thanks to the amazing space and staff; all of my trepidation vanished after my first class at Avea. I signed up for a monthly pass after my first lesson and never regretted it.

I am now a proud Pilates princess!

All of the spaces are great, light, airy vibes and clean. The entire staff is amazing. Everyone's classes are unique, accessible/adaptable for beginners, and challenging at all stages.

I spent a lot of time here rehabbing from a workplace sustained injury in my lower back. I have immense gratitude for everyone that instructed and shared the space with me during this challenging time.

Thank you to the owner/management Carrie and David.

Shoutout to all the amazing instructors who hosted me, in alphabetical order; there is no way I could play favorites :)

• Alaina, Angelina, Arianna, Ash, Carlton, Cassie, Emma G., Gabrielle, Gillian, Juri, Laura, Lorie, Nadia, and Pamela! *

All these ladies are amazing, strong, and knowledgable. Thank you all so much!

And this is only half the staff. I trust the rest of the staff, current roster and new hires, are amazing as well.

P.S. The author in me hates redundancy. But... Avea is AMAZING!

I’ve been a client at Avea for almost a year.  I am impressed with every aspect of Avea. All three studios are beautiful, and each instructor takes the time to get to know the individual student.  As a result, the instructors help nurture your growth and remember what you’re working on and/or any injuries you have from class to class.  One of my favorite instructors is Cassie, who pushes each student to reach their full potential, without asking anyone to do anything that makes them feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Erica L is incredibly gentle yet tough, and provides a real mental escape during the class. Alaina is another tough instructor but one who brings a lot of mindfulness and a beautiful energy to her classes. Overall, every instructor has a unique and special teaching style.  The other class attendees bring a positive, warm energy and friendly attitude.  Carrie (the owner) has cultivated a beautiful, welcoming space.  It is a very non-judgmental environment.  As a woman in her early 50s, I have felt so supported and encouraged and the instructors at Avea have helped me already lose 25 lbs. in preparation...

Pretentious/snobby/rude instructor!!! Her name is Liron N I think

Yeah, she won't let you in if you are 5' late. She would just let you wait in front of the door without even telling you what to do (it's my first time)

After 15 minutes I would have to kindly ask her what to do, then she would ask me to call the studio due to the "late policy" that you can't find anywhere. You then would have to call the studio only to speak to the answer machine :)

She also just walked around the studio and did not offer any adjustment to her students during my 15' waiting. Gosh why would we pay for some girl to treat us like we are worth nothing?

Apparently someone else on Classpass said the same thing about the instructor, I should have read their comments before wasting my money here!

There are thousands of studios in NYC, I only booked your studio because I wanted to go with my friend who lives nearby. Will be interesting to see how long it will take you to go out of business with this kind of...
