This is by far, the BEST Pilates studio in NYC! Ann Toran is a Master trainer with Balanced Body Pilates. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has amazing cueing and can get you to do things you could never imagine possible! I HIGHLY recommend the studio, instructors, classes, private training and instructor training at this studio!

In the world of corporate chains, supporting our local small business is more important than ever.
