Pilates Bodies, NY

I love pilates bodies for many reasons. To begin, the classes are a great size (8 people), the instructors are very knowledgeable (focused on making sure you have good form and if you have an injury that you do a different workout), and the class schedule works well with my schedule. I had been going, but then stopped when I had a baby. Now I’m back and the warm welcome I received was reassuring that I could get back into it. My favorite instructors? Larissa and Patricia

I’ve been coming here for a few classes now and I give 5 stars for their wonderful instructor Michelle. Her classes never gets cancel. She makes you feel comfortable in her classes even if you’re out of shape and could barely catch on.

Was so excited to come to try out the barre class. Triple checked the website to make sure the class wasnt canceled as lately it has on the days i want to go. Well online it was open so i went and the studio was closed. Was so upset. Thought i finally found a studio near my house that has a wide range of classes but now going how can i actually trust that the classes will be in session? They dont pick up the phone as it cleary states on the website that all communication is via email. Well then please ensure that classes are accurate. Hated that i made the trip for jo reason.

So the classes are great and the instructors are great, but the three starts are for the lack of front desk and customer service. No one to answer the phones or buzz you in, get your act together PBNY!

Thanks to PBNY, Pilates on the tower/​reformer is my favorite form of exercise. I’ve always been a devout gym goer with the regular treadmill and weight routine and the occasional packed aerobic class. But now with my new found passion for Pilates on the reformer/​tower, I’m actually seeing a difference in my body. I’m getting stronger, toner, leaner and my abs are starting to peek through as defined muscles. This is definitely the workout for individual that doesn’t want to be drenched in sweat and wants to tone up instead of bulking up. My favorite fitness studio ever with the sweetest instructors!

Pilates bodies has good reformers and is new and very clean. The problem is there is nowhere to park and the room they do zumba in is L shaped. They keep it very bright too. They also do not offer any zumba classes in the mornings they just have zumba gold which is for older clients and move very slowly.

I was lured to this studio by both groupon and its proximity to my home. Prior to taking some of the classes offered such as Barre and Power Yoga, I was a committed member of another widely known gym. After enjoying all that Pilates Bodies has to offer such as small class sizes, the commitment of the instructors to helping each individual safely perform the workouts, to physically feeling great after each class, I’ve gone ahead and cancelled my gym membership. I’m confident that Pilates Bodies can help me in achieving my goal of toning my body while having fun. Also, keep in mind that they continue adding new classes and occasionally offer discounts on some of their priced packages throughout the year!

Love the reformer classes at pilates bodies. The staff is friendly and the studio is clean and immaculate. Great for trying new classes, they have tons to offer.

I LOVE pilates bodies, i also purchased a groupon when it first opened and since then purchased packages for both pilates and studio 2 classes. The instructors are very knowledgeable and guide you to movements at your pace and level. There are
so many options in studio 2 classes. They recently had a mommy and me music workshop as well.

Love this gym. Especially TRX with Michelle. Clean and flexible hours both in the morning and evening. Barre is also a great workout worth trying.

I tried different classes in Pilates Bodies and I have to say I love them all. I started with Groupon deal and i ended up purchasing two packages and used them all! Awesome instructors!

PBNY is one of Queens greatest fitness centers. Perfect for students as it is close to St. John’s University and also offers classes to support everyone’s fitness goals. The instructors are personable, energetic and passionate and the management and front desk staff is top notch :) I love the community at PBNY and love taking classes here!

So happy I found a Pilates studio near my home! I purchased a Groupon for 5 Pilates classes, and I’ve had a great experience thus far. I’ve taken the beginner tower /​reformer classes, and like that the instructors pay attention to your form and posture. Looking forward to trying out their Studio 2 (non-​Pilates) classes as well!

Came here because Groupon had a deal. I really enjoyed the TRX classes with Demetrius but, like someone else wrote, he was no longer around after a month of joining. I really wish they offered more yoga class, both in quantity and types. The total body workout class got cancelled and that was probably my favorite because it included weights. Marcos is a great instructor for many of the classes, but it’s always nice to change it up every now and then.

I participated in my first class here today — a barre class with Marcos. The time flew by. The space is clear and clean, the instructor patient and excellent. I will definitely return and recommend the studio to all. My body feels great today after this workout.

I have been coming here for about a year now and really enjoyed taking Zumba, Barre, TRX & Kickboxing classes. Unfortunately, when August rolled around, suddenly they no longer had any of the old instructors. Where are Noura, Ally, Demetrius, Nicole & Andriana? Almost all Studio 2 classes seem to be taught by Marcos. It is fun to take Zumba & Barre classes with different instructors as they bring their own moves & levels (as long as it’s not too easy, I do want to break a sweat!) to these classes, specially Zumba. I was hoping this skeletal crew of instructors was a summer thing but a quick look at the Fall schedule indicates otherwise.
The TRX studio used to be downstairs with the suspension equipment hanging from the ceiling, now it has been moved to the Zumba/​Barre studio upstairs and the equipment hangs from the pipes. Yep, pipes. Constantly thinking the pipe will fall on your head is not a fun exercise! Pun intended.
I am willing to keep renewing my membership just for Zumba but only if they add a few things–
1) Add a Zumba class to the weekend schedule
2) Add more Zumba instructors, variety is the spice of life!
3) Consider adding another 8pm Zumba class on weekdays; not everyone can make it to a 7pm class, some of us work past 5pm!

Don’t be fooled by their name, they offer more than just pilates! They have 2 studios, 1 specifically for reformer pilates (the one with all the crazy & intimidating pilate machines). The other studio they hold different classes in there: yoga, zumba, TRX, barre, kickboxing… etc.
The studios are quite spacious and they opened several months ago so it’s new and super clean. Good AC system especially for those intense workout classes.
I came here wanting to just sign up for yoga, but I am so glad the receptionist convinced me to try all the classes they offer. The instructors are all super friendly, accommodating, and they make the classes fun.
They come out with specials from time to time, and check on Unilocal or groupon for deals.

So if you are looking for a clean, friendly and expensive studio for Yoga, pilates, TRX and more, then you found the right place. i would of give 10 stars if i could. instructors are very friendly and have lots of knowledge about what they are doing.
I am happy to finally find such a great studio for my work out. :)
Highly recommended!

Such a great workout studio! The classes are fun and innovative, the instructors are helpful and experienced, and all the people are positive and upbeat. Best workout studio in Queens!

I LOVE this place! Never did pilates before but decided to try it after seeing an Amazon deal. Since then, I have bought full price packages because it is so worth it. I had done yoga before and liked it, but after trying out pilates I won’t be going back to yoga because it’s too slow paced and boring for me. Pilates is so much fun and I think it will get me toned much faster. Been going for about 3 months now and will continue to go for as long as I live in the neighborhood. My bf also goes with me and he loves it too!!! For all the guys that think it looks easy and is for women only, you will be surprised at how hard it is!
I have tried every class and love them all. Marcos is really nice and patient and good at correcting your form. He enjoys what he does and is very good at it. I like Jasmine too, she challenges us in a good way. Zumba is really fun and you will sweat a lot so bring water and a towel! Trish is super energetic and has a great personality and makes the class really fun (FYI I am a person that really hates cardio). I tried Joel’s total body conditioning class (mat pilates) once and I liked it too — boy did my thighs burn the next day!!! I also love barre — who knew I could sweat so much from doing ballet moves? The only class I haven’t tried is TRX because it isn’t offered yet. This place is still new with many beginners and TRX is not for beginners! Even if the class was available I would not try it until I am super confident I can handle it (one day!)
There are plenty of classes in the morning and evening and weekends too. I really don’t know what S.M. is talking about — I have never had a problem booking a class and there are usually vacancies. I’ve been to maybe 2 classes where it was completely full so I am boggled when this person says the classes are booked weeks in advance — so not true. I like their online registration system, super easy. Also, Marcos works 7 days a week and teaches the majority of the classes so you will most likely be in his class. If not, the other instructors are well qualified and very good too. I mean geez, give the guy a break, he can’t be there ²⁴⁄₇!
Right now the majority of classes are reformer/​tower. As the business grows I hope to see more barre, Zumba, and TBC offered.
You will not find another studio in Queens like this that focuses on reformer/​tower (other places I researched are mainly yoga studios with scanty pilates offerings and without any apparatus). Try this place out — it is worth every penny!
