I took an intermediate reformer & chair class with Chrissy at Nice and Tall. Chrissy is extremely attentive, supportive, and meticulous with her hands-on adjustments. She is easy to understand, and will quickly come to address any confusion, while also being encouraging and praising. I felt safe and secure under her watchful eye. The class itself was small, just the four of us students, which I felt was just right (for an 8 a.m. class). It was challenging from start to end and I got a great workout. Most of the class was spent on the reformer, before we ended on the chair with mermaid. The music was kept low and it was refreshing to hear something more downtempo and atmospheric, rather than feeling like I’m in a club environment and straining to hear the instructor’s cues (though maybe there is a time and place for this too). The studio is very clean and full of Joe’s classic pilates equipment. Being here had me in a state of reverie knowing that the studio is legendary — truly a time capsule that continues to pass down the Pilates method to more and more students. I’m blessed to be able to practice here!

Great instructors that know how to adjust and correct the classes are small and so the attention is almost like a private class - highly recommend

Ah-mazing. I was nervous to come because I'm not from a big city and my experience was limited to club Pilates. I had a hard time finding the entrance, but I gave myself extra time. The instructor (owner) Konstantin was so helpful and pleasant. I am so happy I caught a spot and definitely will come back next time I'm in town. Would recommend even if it's outside of your comfort zone-- I learned a lot.

I took the opportunity to take a class while I was visiting the neighborhood. I was welcomed by Vera and truly enjoyed her class! As a physical therapist and Pilates studio owner, I found her teaching style to honor the classical method while incorporating effective corrective exercises that enhance body awareness. She was kind enough to show me around and explain some of the history of the studio. I hope to return when I visit NYC again!

I’m so happy I took the chance to try Nice & Tall as I was looking to get back into pilates after two pregnancies. This studio is a VIBE. Think spacious historical loft, Edith Piaf in the background, a Russian instructor expertly leading no-frills and challenging classes. Konstantin is a true professional and gifted in teaching. Even if a class is full, you will always get individualized feedback and support. After just a few months of classes, I am already seeing improvement in my core strength I didn’t think I had anymore. I consider this my “destination” Pilates studio in the city, definitely worth the subway trip.

Konstantin was an amazing instructor. I fell in love with Pilates years ago. I was exposed to the pilates thru Club Pilates and other studios. This environment is special. Knowing that Joseph Pilates started here was electrifying . I realized that I have not been taught by the caliber of instructor that this place offers. I appreciated the explanation and the direction that was given. I was visiting New York and I am envious of anyone who is able to take these classes on a regular basis. It was a honor to be in the class today. THANK YOU!!!

I booked this place before I knew it was the original location. This place is such a gem! The space and the teachers were incredibly knowledgeable and hands on with technique. I’ve been doing Pilates for about 4 months and this will be a place I always remember and I can’t wait to visit again when I come back to New York! Thank you Chrissy and Konstantin for being wonderful teachers in NYC! It definitely made my trip extra special.

This studio is truly a gem amidst the hustle and bustle of NYC! Although it’s in the middle of the city, I felt calmed by the serene ambiance every time I stepped into it.

The instructor, especially Konstantin, always took extra care to correct our form and emphasized our body alignment. Their teachings set them apart from other pilates studios that solely focus on strength instead of posture. Also, their music playlists are chef’s kiss 💯

It’s a beautiful spacious studio and the team is very very kind

A great studio with a very clean and comfortable space and sophisticated instructors.
Konstantin is a very good instructor.
Through his lessons, I learned about my spine, my pelvis, and my shoulder blades.
It was a very lucky event in my life that I met this studio.
