Active Studios NYC

If you’re seeking a movement practice that improves strength, flexibility, posture, and body awareness—all while being gentle on the joints—Pilates might be exactly what you need. At Active Studios NYC, our small class sizes allow us to provide focused attention and customize your experience, ensuring every session supports your unique goals and needs.

Our Pilates classes are thoughtfully designed to help you build a strong, stable foundation from the inside out. With a strong emphasis on core strength, each session also targets the deep muscles of the back, legs, and arms through precise, controlled movement. This creates not only a toned and balanced body but also improved functional strength for everyday life.

Why Pilates?

Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, this method of movement combines breath, concentration, alignment, and precision to help you become more in tune with your body. Unlike high-impact workouts that can put stress on your joints, Pilates offers a low-impact yet highly effective way to increase muscular strength and endurance while enhancing flexibility and stability.

Our program goes beyond simply sculpting the body—it empowers you to move with purpose, grace, and confidence. As you develop a deeper connection between mind and movement, you’ll also experience improved posture, reduced tension, and a greater sense of ease in your daily life.

Tailored to Your Needs

We believe that fitness should be personal. That’s why we intentionally keep our class sizes small, allowing our experienced instructors to offer individual attention, real-time feedback, and personalized modifications. Whether you’re brand new to Pilates or have years of experience, you’ll receive the support you need to progress safely and effectively.

In each session, we’ll focus on:

• Core activation and stability: Build strength from the center out, improving posture and supporting healthy spinal alignment.

• Low-impact full-body movement: Strengthen deep muscles in the back, legs, and arms without putting stress on the joints.

• Flexibility and lengthening: Through targeted stretches and mindful movement, increase range of motion and reduce tightness.

• Postural awareness: Learn to hold yourself upright and move more efficiently throughout your day.

• Injury prevention: By improving muscle balance and control, Pilates helps reduce the risk of strain or injury from other activities.

A Supportive Space for All Levels

Our Pilates classes welcome everyone—from beginners seeking a new way to move, to athletes looking to complement their training. We understand that every body is different, and our instructors are trained to meet you where you are, offering modifications and encouragement to help you feel confident and successful at every level.

You don’t need to be flexible or experienced to begin. All you need is the willingness to move and a desire to feel stronger, more centered, and more in control of your body.

The Benefits Go Beyond the Mat

As your Pilates practice deepens, you’ll begin to notice the effects in every part of your life. Better balance, stronger posture, improved breathing, and greater body awareness all translate to increased energy and a more vibrant you. Whether you’re sitting at a desk, chasing after kids, or training for your next big adventure, Pilates helps you move more efficiently, gracefully, and powerfully.
