Pilates by Simona — Local services in New York

Tracie is exactly the kind of Pilates teacher that I've been looking for, who offers a more holistic and somatic approach than "traditional Pilates" does, and is very focused on healing and pain management. I have had a number of surgeries (hip and knee replacement, and toe fusion surgery) as well as a fractured shoulder and Tracie has always been able to identify the area that needs work and why I might be compensating for injuries.

She has really helped me become aware of my body and movements and develop a mind body connection that I never had before. It never ceases to amaze me when she is able to pinpoint miniscule changes that I need to make, or how to explain to me to think about a movement that I am having trouble with.

I've been training with Tracie for over two years now and our sessions are always super informative, challenging in different but great ways, and full of learning...

I've worked with Tracie Matthews for about 8 months now and she is absolutely incredible.

Tracie noticed some pronounced imbalances in strength and flexibility between my left and right sides. We've been working to build more even strength and flexibility which has helped my chronic back pain and stiffness immensely. Plus, I've gotten a lot fitter and stronger overall!

Tracy is knowledgable, kind, funny, observant, and creative. I adore working with her.

The staff and facilities at Simona Pilates are lovely.

As far as classes, they keep group sessions small so each student gets plenty of attention. I've personally taken several excellent classes with Lenny. the facilities are very clean and they have all the equipment you could...

This studio has been a very warm and welcoming to me. So far I have only taken classes with Lenny and Simona; they are very different, but both amazing. They make classes joyous and manage to be attentive to each student even when it's a full class. During Simona's classes I have those aha moments; she can help you make the smallest of adjustments that will change everything. After Lenny's classes I'm almost falling down the stairs, my legs are so shaky; he makes you work hard, but he'll always offer modifications or props to ensure health and safety. Speaking of health and safety, I still wear my mask out in public and I was very pleasantly surprised to learn that some of the teachers here still wear masks as well. Thank you...
