What Is Reformer Pilates?
Reformer Pilates is a movement method grounded in anatomy, alignment, and intentional sequencing. Unlike workout formats that emphasize intensity or speed, the Pilates method prioritizes controlled movement and integrated strength. At New York Pilates, our instructors complete extensive training — often more than 400 hours — to guide each session with clarity, precision, and care.
Why Method Matters in Reformer Pilates
When movement follows a method, results come through consistent progress rather than sporadic exertion. Reformer Pilates focuses on breath, muscle support, and mindful alignment so your body develops strength that carries into daily life — not just within the studio.
Reformer Pilates for Every Level
Reformer Pilates supports a wide range of experience levels. Beginners benefit from the support of the reformer machine and method-based cues, while more seasoned movers refine precision and deepen engagement. Because instructors are trained to adapt each session, you’ll always meet your practice where you are.
Reformer Pilates Benefits
Full-Body Sculpting
Because the Abs Arms Ass flow layers controlled sequences, you feel deeper strength in every muscle group, and therefore your results build quickly.
Low Impact, High Vibes
The reformer protects your joints while increasing resistance, and as a result you get an intense burn without strain.
Consistency You Can Count On
Each class follows a clear structure, so you learn proper technique over time and ultimately feel stronger, more aligned, and more confident in every session.

Love my weekly classes with Kat! Super challenging but fun. And the studio is clean and gorgeous.Jennifer D
Love this studio! I go 5-6 days a week and my whole body has changed. So happy they stay open all year long.Lauren T
Excellent Pilates studio with professional instructors and a peaceful environment. Great for strength, flexibility, and stress relief!Cdl
i love new york pilates. great vibes, convenient locations and best monthly value for reformer pilates in the city.Isabel V
Been going for 3 years now and think it is the best traditional reformer in New York! Instructors are great and classes are nicely balanced.Kyra K
Been going there for a year and class is always challenging and fun. Always enjoy my workout!Lev B
The best Pilates around ! The staff and teachers are very friendly!Missdragon420
Obsessed with these Pilates classes! They’re so fun and engaging. Tea at the front desk is so sweet and helpful. 10/10 recommend!Jiexi C
I love the classes so far! Lots of creative moves that keep things interesting and challenging. Just wish the app wasn't as slow 😭 (anticipation for new app 🙏)Yaz
I’ve done over 100 classes and I take about 3 classes a week. I’m intentionally bragging because I’ve never been this consistent with a class or studio before lol The vibe is perfect and Alex plans the best class every time. It’s always challenging yet restorative and idk how she does it but she’s the absolute best. I only take her class because she’s so intentional with her workouts and it shows!Josephine H
Almost at 200 classes here and can’t get enough. Alex Osorio is one of the best instructors I’ve ever had! Go see her!Katie B
I am at the Flatiron studio 3-4 times a week. I cannot say enough positive things about Alex Osorio’s classes. Both innovative yet challenging, Alex approaches each class with intention and a positive attitude. I have grown so much in her classes and I can’t wait to come back for the next one!Jessica S
Instructor Kat is an informative, helpful, and enthusiastic teacher. I find her classes to be really engaging. I was initially nervous as an ultra beginner, but she helped me feel super comfortable. I find New York Pilates to be really inclusive and welcoming, too. Definitely recommend this spot!Dora L
I have been coming to NYP on and off for years and always make my way back to them after bad experiences with other reformer companies. I just had my 100th class! I find most of the instructors chill but engaging, no one yelling in your face to push you beyond what your body can handle. In fact they're quite good at name recognition and positive reinforcement. Instructors provide heavier or lighter modifications for every single move based on your skill level or capabilities for that day. Contrary to what others have experienced, I've had plenty of posture corrections which I agree is important. The studios are always clean and the temperature is comfortable, plus I LOVE the lighting and atmosphere. Changes I would like to see, as others have mentioned, are mirrors to monitor your form, less loud music, and a central/downtown Brooklyn location. The music seems to have evened out to a reasonable level in recent months so perhaps that issue has been addressed. Overall it's the best and most convenient pilates studio I've found in the city with plenty of locations and class availability. Pic as proof the workouts WORK.Milena D
Best instructors, space, everything. Clean, up to date, respectful. Love NYP.Linda S
I’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 won’t regret it!Anna B
My favorite workout- I’ve been working out at NYP since 2015 and so glad they opened this location in flatiron. I’ve been able to upgrade to unlimited and go 4-6days a week. Lisa and Kat are my favorite instructors but Meredith, Margiel and Camryn are also amazing.Fiona K
I am an absolute beginner with pilates and have really enjoyed getting into pilates at their Flatiron location. Alex is a great instructor and walked me through everything I needed to know prior to class beginning since she knew I was new. The staff is always lovely to interact with. Also really appreciate the dressing rooms that are available and the fully stocked bathrooms (I definitely take advantage of the dry shampoo stocked in there!!).Anita
I just wanted to give y’all a glowing review about last night. I didn’t feel like throwing a birthday party so I texted my friends about which class I was taking and told them they could sign up with me. 11 of them did and we had THE BEST TIME. Marigela was so accommodating and hands on with the girls who had never taken an NYP class before and it genuinely made the experience so lovely. I love NYP so much, and it was so special to be able to share it with my girls. A few of them even bought 3 packs so I will be bringing them back lol love NYP forever xx 💜🪩Larissa M
Obsessed with New York Pilates overall but the Soho location is my fave. I take classes there 4x times a week with Matthew M who absolutely slays every class. Each workout with him and routine is always different. The best!Charlotte B
NYP has been my main workout for the last two years. I feel mentally and physically strong and more flexible. The reason I keep coming back is the effective and efficient 45 minute classes, the positive environment, and the INCREDIBLE TEACHERS. I just left another phenomenal class with Matthew Mantenuto. I also love classes with Julia Scrak and the other phenomenal teachers too! Thank you NYP!Mikhaila S
I am completely obsessed with New York Pilates! I’ve been coming to classes for over a year now and my body is feeling and looking stronger than ever.

Love NYP! Best workout, best instructorsNisha S
My favorite Pilates studio in the city by a landslide. The rate at which they’re growing is a testament to how they’ve made Pilates easy and accessible to so many in NY. The more often you go, you find instructors that work best with your goals and style, which is how you get the best value from NYP. Also, obv the studio is stunning & good energy!!! And the team is kind and just full of good people - appreciate what Heather A has created!Skye L
One of the best workouts in NYC is Kayleigh’s class at New York Pilates! The environment is so cute and classy and the vibes are great. Kayleigh’s class never fails to give me an amazing workout!! Must try this clean and fun studio!Gia M
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 give them a try.Evan P
Took a trial class and this is hands down the best Pilates class I’ve done in NY! Great instructors and super tough.

I travel a lot, and I like to visit local Pilates studios wherever I am. I first heard of the Arms Abs A$$ class from an instructor in Puerto Rico, and was thrilled to see her favorite NYC studio was around the corner from me in SoHo. I bought the 10 class pack and have been going twice a week. I love the format - efficient, 45 mins - but it's action packed with 2 sets each of core, legs, and arms. Every instructor has been fabulous. Love the music and the space, feels like a reprieve from the business of the city.Posted on Google

New York Pilates has completely transformed both my body and mind. No other studio has inspired this level of dedication—I just keep coming back.

Oona, Meredith, Hannah—every teacher brings their A-game, leading dynamic and challenging classes that prioritize both safety and fun. The studio’s energy is vibrant, and the community is unmatched. I’m also thrilled to be pursuing their teacher training program—I’m so inspired by their approach and can’t wait to learn from the best!Posted on Google

Pilates has become one of my favorite ways to start the day! The first few classes were all about learning the movements and getting comfortable, but after that, it really starts to flow, and you feel the difference in your body and mindset. The space is always super clean and welcoming, which makes such a difference. Clair is an amazing instructor. She is upbeat, knowledgeable, and so intentional with every class. You can tell she really knows what she’s doing. No two classes are the same, which keeps it fresh and exciting every time.

Great experience here. Started as a first timer, year-old rotator cuff injury, and.. I’m a guy.

I love the energy at this studio, people come to workout and they’re not rude or stiff or anything like that. No problems being a guy.
