Amazing studio!! Very fairly priced and beautiful workout rooms. All of the instructors I’ve had have been great and vary in difficulty. Love coming here :)

I love this studio! I get a 5-class pass whenever I’m in town, and it’s the best deal for a reformer Pilates studio I’ve ever come across. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient, and the class size is perfect for getting necessary 1:1 attention. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Friendly, Clean, and Great for All Levels

This is such a great Pilates studio! It’s clean, well-maintained, and offers a nice variety of Pilates and yoga classes. I love the small class sizes—you get personal attention and the instructors are super friendly and supportive. The environment is welcoming for all levels, whether you’re just starting out or more experienced. I always leave feeling stronger, more relaxed, and well taken care of. Highly recommend!

The classes are decent and the instructors are nice. However, customer service needs improvement. I have spent a good amount of money on classes here. Whenever I have called with an issue or a question and Spencer has taken the call, I’m always dismayed by his rudeness and lack of customer service. It doesn’t seem like he has any intention on truly helping the person on the other end. I just purchased a 5-pack because I’m visiting from out of town and wanted to take a class every day and the studio is close to where I’m staying. After my exchange today, I’m tempted to cancel the classes and ask for my money back. My advice: Offer better to paying clients, be solution oriented, we are spending our hard earned money to come here — there are so many other Pilates studios we could be going to.

Ok so Ive taken an introductory class with Elizabeth before and she was great!! Then taken some morning classes with Spencer and he was also very nice! My friends and I had booked a 9am class with Sasha recently as that was one of the only time spots we could take a class after we dropped off our kids to school! It was my friends first time doing a reformer pilates class and as Ive had a positive experience with the other instructors before - I assured them it was going to be great! Ive heard positive things about this instructor but Sasha was definitely NOT friendly to those newer to Pilates! There was another guest there too that was a total pilates snow and kept making comments about how we shouldn't be taking this class! The instructor didn't go over any of the machine parts and corrected us super roughly (ex: squeezed my face and foot..)and responded many times by insinuating we didn't know what we were doing! Spencers never mentioned this was a more advance class or what was a more beginning level class! Maybe you guys need to start adding that in your class descriptions so people can sign up more accurately!! Honestly this instructor left such a poor taste in my mouth that I definitely wont be recommending this studio to any more friends! Everyone has to get their start somewhere and the instructors should be mindful to remember to be kind and compassionate! As moms trying our best to work on our fitness especially post partum - it just wasn't a great experience!

This studio is full of great energy, the classes are very organized and the staff is amazing. I came to Spencer’s Pilates after a back surgery and everyone there was so helpful, encouraging and promoting safe techniques to really get me moving in ways I wasn’t expecting. I’m so happy I found this place and look forward to learning more about just how much my body can do.

Lauren T at this gym was the reason why I kinda stopped going to this one. Extremely unprofessional trainer and to my understanding she's doing stuff at Equinox now. Tekverk was a stickler at kicking people out and locking her doors right at time start. I hope other trainers are better

I've taken a few classes here now. Before first starting, I called and left a message about purchasing an introductory package but no one ever got back to me. I ended up getting the regular package on the website since it was hard to get a hold of the studio.

My main concern is that for the Mat Pilates and Barre classes, the mats and weights appear dirty and old. Many of the weights are peeling and the mats are stained. Within a single class, we were told to return the used weights to the bin, and a few minutes later we were asked to grab a lighter set (weights were never wiped down from person to person). The reformer equipment was in better condition and cleaner.

On the positive side, the instructors are nice and try to get to know the attendees. The level of difficulty is lower than other studios I've been to but I'll probably continue with the barre classes here since the pricing is reasonable and there aren't many barre studios in the area. I do wish they offered the barre classes more frequently.

Regardless, newer and cleaner equipment would bump this up for me to 5 stars otherwise it's holding me back compared to other studios in the same price range.

I've taken a couple of classes, with different instructors, I'm amazed how each class can be so challenging, fun and different, you will eventually get to use the entire equipment and each room in the studio. Plus you can't beat the piece and location!

There is nothing I’d rather be doing than privates with Spencer and Samantha! I’ve taken other pilates classes with most teachers and they are great as well.
Spencer is AMAZING. He is better than any physical therapy I’ve been to.
Samantha is also my go to teacher, her classes are fun and careful.
As long as I go to Spencer’s my body and mind are 4ever healed❤️
Whether I take class or privates, I’m know I’m in great hands.

I’ve been coming to the studio for a few weeks now for private sessions with Sam.

Everyone is very kind and helpful. The studio is very clean and inviting. I think their work speaks for itself and no one pressures you into purchasing anything.

Working with Sam has been educational and very helpful for my physical health. She is patient and explains why we are doing certain exercises. With this teaching style, I feel comfortable to ask questions and clarify.

Additionally, I came in with certain goals and Sam is very mindful of that. She checkins on that during our sessions and introduces specific exercises for that goal. I do notice a difference in my body after class and over the past few weeks.

I look forward to each session and would highly recommend this studio.

Awesome studio. Calm and Clean! So far I have tried Spencer (pilates reformer/ tower and pilates playground), Sasha (pilates reformer / tower), Sheila (yoga), and Masako (pilates reformer / tower and pilates for flexibility and posture) since joining in Mid August. They are all great and unique in their ways.

I booked a class through class pass and I really enjoyed it. I have taken reformer pilates in the past at other spots but I must say, this class has been one of my favorite so far. They fully focus on your form, movement and breathing throughout the class which helps you get a full workout, rather than just going through the movements in fast motion. I really recommend trying it out

I was new to trying Pilates and took one-on-one lessons with Spencer last year to get comfortable with doing it. Spencer was very patient with me and helped to guide and fix my movements when I felt awkward doing them. I'm now trying his classes; the price point is really affordable!

This place is awesome. Great & experienced teachers (you want experienced teachers). Calm atmosphere & clean studio. Some Pilates studios feel very commercial and packed with too many students in each class. This place is different & better. I am so happy I discovered Spencer Pilates Arts.

So excited that Spencer and his team are now open for private and duet classes!!!! I attended today with Angie as my instructor, and I’m so incredibly impressed with the new standards in effect to keep us all safe and secure during this time. It was great to be back in the studio and I’m looking forward to seeing all the incredible instructors there very soon in the weeks to come!!! Thank you to Angie for waking up my Pilates brain after a long six months of no reformer. So happy to be getting back to our (new!) normal!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

HUGE shoutout to Angie who I have been working with for over a year. Angie truly knows the human body (and how it moves) and she has helped massively improved my fitness, flexibility, and posture. Moreover, I have an old knee injury and Angie customized workouts that are safe for my knee but also strengthen specific muscles to prevent future injury.

I found this place through ClassPass and I’ve really come to like it. It can be an adjustment after taking big box studio classes (think FlyBarre or Physique), but I am still seeing results with a slower pace (and not going that often). Really glad there’s a place like this in Forest Hills. Would recommend 👍 (edit: I take the reformer classes.)
