Moving Strength — Local services in New York

I just completed my 3rd session (newbie to Pilates) and am officially in love! I knew from the first session that I’d be continuing on at moving strength, but now after 3 sessions, I can confidently say that it would be silly to not make this a part of my exercise routine. It has already helped my back and neck pain so much. I struggle with TMJ which affects those both a ton and Pilates reformer has really helped improve my daily pain - and my breathing. I feel more calm, at peace and slower in my everyday movement - in a good way - more intentional and relaxed. The teachers are all wonderful and very patient with beginners. I have felt very welcomed here as a new student and am excited to make this a part of my health goals...

I heard about moving strength from a neighbor when I was looking to start Pilates for the first time. She couldn’t say enough good things about it, and my orthopedist told me that the only way I could protect my back from worsening was to strengthen my core. I started at Moving Strength a little over a year ago, mainly taking private lessons twice a week. I worked with many different teachers (including Desira and Arrie who are both phenomenal) and found each one had something really special about their teaching style and knowledge. I can proudly say that I am still going twice a week and don’t think I could live without it! Thank you Moving Strength for changing my life! My back hasn’t gone out once...

I started doing Pilates at moving strength several years ago- before COVID At the time, I did the reformer, open tower , jump board etc at the studio and loved the classes and all the teachers Then COVID hit and I have mainly been doing zoom classes I absolutely love the classes , love Patricia, Raleigh, and Desira I have a bad back and all of them are so knowledgeable and always offer modifications when needed The classes r great, but in addition there is such a connection with the other students as well as the instructors Everyone is welcome from beginners to advanced I feel so lucky that I found this studio Thanks patricia and staff ...
