The Pilates Room NYC is a great classical studio offering classic and traditional Pilates. It features incredible, kind, personable, and knowledgeable instructors who simply get it. The studio is beautiful, clean, and has clean equipment with no frills. Clients report life-changing experiences, noting improvements in strength, alignment, core strength, stability, mobility, confidence, and chronic pain. It is described as the right place to start Pilates and the highlight of the week.
I’ve been working with Alison in both private and group sessions at the Pilates Room for over 10 years, and she is truly wonderful. No matter what shape I’m in, including through surgeries and (unrelated) injuries, she always knows exactly how to adjust the workout so I get the most out of every session without aggravating any issues. She is incredibly positive and encouraging, while also being serious about making sure every student gets the workout that’s right for them. The space itself is welcoming, and the other instructors are wonderful as well. There’s such a friendly, supportive atmosphere and after more than a decade, I still look forward to going!

I came in as a complete beginner to Pilates — I have a background in strength training, but had never tried Pilates before. My first session with Alison was incredible. She introduced me to a whole new way of moving, and I immediately loved it.
I’ve now been training with Alison for over nine months, and I’ve enjoyed every session. Pilates has become an amazing complement to my weight training, helping me move better, feel stronger, and stay more balanced overall.
Alison is patient, creative, and extremely attentive to detail. She explains everything clearly and always makes you feel supported and confident.
I highly recommend Alison and The Pilates Room, especially… read full review

I had to stay in NYC for a month and found this wonderful Pilates studio. I can’t say enough good things about the whole group of instructors. Classically trained. They know their stuff. I had shoulder surgery and was limited in what I could do and they were just amazing. I wish I could stay to keep working with them!!
