I love this place for three reasons, environment, accessibility, and the trainers.
Environment: this place is a vibe. Now I’ve only been to this location but seeing the purple lights as you go up the stairs and then entering the clean studio gets you ready for a focused yet invigorating work out. It always smells amazing with the candles they light and the bathrooms and separate changing rooms are cozy and VERY clean.
Accessibility: the available time slots work with my schedule where I can go straight after work and find time on the weekends. They have a very user friendly app to access all of their locations but I’ve only gone to the soho location. It’s also easy to give them a quick call and the customer service is up to par. If I need to reschedule it’s easy to do so and there are a lot of options to always find a class offering that’s right for you.
Trainers: my colleague recommended for me to try NYP solely for their signature Abs, Arms, Ass workouts. Each class ensures you target each of these areas and I love it each time. I’m a curvy woman so some of these exercises can be difficult for me to try at first but Matt and Julia always make sure to support me with modifications. I always leave class feeling stronger and leaner. I swear I gained an inch in height just for the 4 weeks I’ve been going. I love the studio so much that I paid for the unlimited class package with no regrets. I highly recommend taking advantage of their intro packages to...
Read moreThis was my first time at the NYP soho studio (usually go to west village) but I LOVED every minute of it (I took Amanda’s class & it was an all time favorite, which is hard to say, because every class I have loved)— Everyone here is so friendly (ended up talking to the girl at desk after class and she was so sweet!!) Whether you’re an expert or a beginner with the reformer, NYP is not a place you feel intimidated going into. The instructors are super attentive— You can tell they truly want you to benefit from each class, and you honestly get (more) than your money’s worth at each class!! They will always suggest modifications and if it’s your first class they are more than happy to offer extra guidance . . Also have to mention how great their customer service is— I had no idea my classes were going to expire and was worried I would lose them, but they got back to me SO fast and reassured me that they would extend it and it was no problem! Excited to try their other...
Read moreI’ve absolutely fallen in love with New York Pilates, and a big reason for that is my incredible instructor, Stella Casas. From the moment you walk in, the studio feels clean, welcoming, and chic — a total vibe that motivates you to show up and move.
Stella brings the perfect mix of encouragement, precision, and calm energy to every class. She really takes the time to make sure you’re engaging the right muscles and maintaining proper form, while still keeping the flow fun and challenging. Whether you’re a beginner or have been doing Pilates for a while, Stella meets you where you are and helps you level up.
Her cues are so clear, and she has this amazing way of making small adjustments that completely change how an exercise feels (in the best way). I always leave class feeling stronger, more aligned, and re-energized.
If you’re thinking of trying Pilates or looking for a new instructor to inspire your practice — book a class with Stella at New York Pilates. You...
