The Art of Control

I have been going here for five months. The classes are small, so the teachers can give everyone personal attention. The instructors are very professional and explain each movement in detail, which helps a lot—especially for beginners like me. The sessions are high quality, affordable, and perfect for anyone looking to start or improve their Pilates practice. Highly recommend!

Today I attended my first matwork intermediate class for apprentices and it was something fabulous!!! My dreams come true with AOC :-)

Art of Control is a wonderful experience, with great instructors, lots of great equipment and super clean. I take two lessons a week with Carla. She is positive, well trained and an excellent teacher. I feel blessed to take Pilates at Art of Control with Carla.

Stephanie was great instructor and helped me a lot in the beginner Pilates class. Would definitely recommend!

I have been coming here for over two years both for classes and the teacher training program. The teachers here have an amazing attention to detail and give 100% to helping you become the best teacher you can be. I appreciate all the dedication!

I have been a member of the art of control since 2016. And have been taking many classes with them ever since both online and in person.
What I love most about AOC is their commitment to the traditional method that had proved throughout the years to be one of the most comprehensive and complete programs to improve overall health and restore vitality for the body.
The teachers at AOC are highly qualified and very detailed oriented. The studio is equipped with top of the line traditional Pilates apparatus that the teacher use to create a comprehensive program that is individualized to each client’s needs and goals. I highly recommend them for everyone especially those who have injuries and are intimidated to start a workout routine.

The Art of Control is the best truly classical pilates studio that I have found. Simona Cipriani is deeply knowledgeable about the body, has a sharp eye for body misalignments and imbalances, and magical hands to guide you to your best pilates practice. I have been taking privates and group classes with her at the sparkling new Stamford Town Center studio, and I always leave feeling so good--strong, balanced and aligned physically and mentally. She guides you to a deeper understanding of your body with all her precise cues and hands-on adjustments. I enjoy Pilates so much at AOC that I have joined their Apprentice training program and am delighted to have the opportunity to learn directly from Simona. The apprenticeship program is thorough, supportive, and provides lots of opportunities to ask deeper questions and practice teaching. It is always a lot of fun to be at the studio together with the other apprentices--we learn from each other, practice and take classes together...it's like a little family growing together. Also, Carla & Ilana who help manage the studio are sweethearts and always so helpful.

I started to come here about 6 months ago and that was my first time doing Classical Pilates.
I loved the classes, the teachers and the positive environment. Thanks to Simona I enrolled in her Pilates Instructor Training Program. I fell in love with the curriculum, all the knowledge and getting to be part of a different community, with all the apprentices and teachers, it’s like a little family… I have never feel judge in any way, we support and help each other to get through the program which is really special!!
This experience is definitely something that I will always remember!

I am currently enrolled in the ASC Pilates Certification program. I feel grateful to be a part of this community where adherence to the traditional Pilates curriculum is of paramount importance. Simona Cipriani and her talented corps of classically trained instructors have been an amazing teachers, mentors and motivators. I'm excited to become a 3rd generation teacher in this exceptional lineage. The Art of Control is a fantastic studio for anyone looking for classes or private sessions in Classical Pilates. This is the real deal; whether you're looking to increase your strength and flexibility or to become a certified instructor, there is not a comparable facility outside NYC.

The Art & Science of Contrology Pilates Instructor Training program is highly thorough. And, the classically-trained instructors are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about safety and Pilates.
