By SB studio is the best private Pilates space in NYC! The instructors are all amazing and the studio is in such a nice, welcoming space. As a physical therapist, I’m picky about my recommendations with any workout instructor or Pilates class. Sarah and her team are people that I trust with my patients and are great at personalizing each session to the individual. The 1:1 sessions are perfect for addressing any imbalances, recovering from an injury, or helping you reach a specific fitness goal. The workouts are creative and never boring! I feel so lucky to have found Sarah and her team and highly them to everyone!!

Love SB Studio! I've been going for nearly a year now as a supplement to my runs. Sarah and Jacquie in particular are great - I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I have been going to by SB Pilates for over a year and I truly love it, I even go out of my way to get to this studio because it is absolutely worth it. The owner, Sarah, is wonderful to work with, she is incredibly kind and always supportive.
I was referred by close friends who worked with Sarah long before she opened her own studio and raved about her. The verdict is in, they were absolutely right, she is the best.
I usually see Jacquie and she consistently pushes me with challenging, fun workouts. I have also worked with a couple of the other instructors and everyone has been fantastic. Sarah clearly finds great people who care about the clients and know what they are doing.
Pilates is not cheap anywhere, but I feel like I get real value here. The studio is modern, clean, and well cared for, and the individualized attention makes such a difference. I highly recommend SB Pilates to anyone looking for focused instruction, a great workout, and a welcoming atmosphere!

I had the best one on one Pilates session at By SB Studio — the space is welcoming and absolutely beautiful; it makes me happy just to be there! We started by discussing my goal for the visit, which was to strengthen my weak hips, and the session was tailored specifically to address that. Not only did I get a great workout, but I also left with valuable knowledge on how to continue caring for my body beyond the one-on-one session. The team at SB Studio is kind, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated — I highly recommend them!

I recommend Mims to anyone and everyone who needs a physical therapist. Every person who works there is not only incredibly knowledgeable and good at their job but also incredibly kind. They care deeply about their clients and they create a safe environment that you want to come to and get better in. Not to mention that their office is BEAUTIFUL. Highly recommend!

I've done a lot of pilates in my life, and finding Sarah and her team has changed everything! Truly the best instructor(s) I've worked with; so good that I travel into Manhattan from BK just to see them! It's not only their expertise and warmth that is so amazing, but also the studio itself is spotless, stylish, and an oasis of calm. You cannot go wrong here. I hope to see them forever!

I’ve been consistently training with Sarah for over two years now and she is the absolute best! She is great at providing a challenging workout, while also creating a fun and welcoming environment. I’ve recommended her to my friends and family, and my husband loves her classes as much as I do. I love that Sarah provides highly personalized training, and she’s always mindful of any injuries or areas I hope to strengthen or target. I’ve taken privates and duets with Sarah, both at Sarah’s studio and in my home gym, and her ability to adjust to new equipment and multiple people, is really remarkable! Sarah is also very flexible, which is perfect for my busy work schedule.

Sarah and her whole team are so thoughtful and skilled! If you've taken a lesson elsewhere and wished it was more tailored to your individual needs, then SB studio should definitely be your next stop. Whether you want a more intense workout or more restorative movement, you'll find what you're looking for with these instructors during 1:1 lessons held in the prettiest space in flatiron!

I’ve taken many classes before and usually after the 3rd time, the instructor’s attentiveness seems to wane. Not Sarah. I’ve been taking weekly private duet lessons from Sarah for a year and she has remained as focused and attentive on our personal fitness requirements for over a year. She makes every class interesting so it never gets boring, has inspiring music, and adjusts to the different levels that my daughter and I are at as needed. We’ve both seen significant improvements to our core strength and overall tone since starting Pilates with Sarah. She’s the best, most positive and supportive instructor ever!

After almost 2 years of practicing pilates with by SB studio, I can say that it is consistently one of the highlights of my week! The studio is conveniently located, clean, friendly, and incredibly well lit :) I've worked with both Sarah and Jacquie. They are both incredibly knowledgable and have helped me with everything from building strength, to working through existing injuries. I cannot recommend implementing pilates with by SB studio into your fitness routine enough!

Sarah is the best! I started off doing virtual sessions with Sarah during the pandemic and got hooked to Pilates, and eventually started doing 1 hr in person sessions with her every week. Sarah is amazing at making your sessions challenging but within your skill level, and working with you to advance your strength. Would highly recommend!

I've been working with Sarah and her team for 5+ years now. Even though I'm a 200lb gorilla bodied individual, she keeps me strong and limber. The studio space is nice with good tunes as well.

After seeing Sarah I will never see another private Pilates instructor. She has completely shifted what I expect when I go to a workout class. Not only is the studio gorgeous and inviting but Sarah listens to what I am looking for out of the experience and delivers a perfectly tailored workout. She does a great job of making sure that she is challenging me while also providing me with the perfect cues to make sure that I can do whatever movement she is looking for. If you're reading this because you're trying to find the perfect 1:1 Pilates instructor, look no further, you found her.

I've been seeing Sarah for several years now. I had a bout of health issues and surgeries before I started seeing her and my body was not in great shape and very deconditioned. As someone with EDS, I often recruit my muscles incorrectly to preform tasks. Sarah is very observant of this and makes many modifications so that I am forced to do each movement properly, and does not allow me to hyperextend and go out of my joint socket. My posture and body mechanics are so much better than when I first started and what's even better is that I don't have to think about it, it has just become natural and my new normal. I'm so much stronger now and I swear Sarah has me use and strengthen muscle groups I didn't even know existed! She is always able to modify any session based on how I feel that day and overall is just a warm and lovely person. While I have mostly worked with Sarah, I have also had the pleasure of having a couple of sessions with Nikki and Jacquie who are both excellent as well. All three instructors at SB studio have a slightly different style and focus making for a very well rounded group. I highly recommend coming here for any of these wonderful Pilates instructors!

Sarah’s an extremely instructive teacher. She takes the time to walk you through exercises while also explaining how the mechanics impact the body. She is also patient. As someone who needs a lot of hand holding, Sarah took extra time to help me feel comfortable and oriented. Another highlight about the experience with Sarah was the beautiful space she is in; it is intimate which elevated the pilates experience even more. 25/10 would recommend Sarah and her amazing services.

I have been doing weekly Pilates sessions with Sarah in her Studio and virtually for over a year and feel and look so much stronger as a result. She's great at modifying workouts to my ability and requests. The studio space and the equipment is all new and much nicer and cleaner than other places I've tried. All of the other practitioners in the space seem very nice, too, though I haven't worked with any of them yet. Highly recommend.

Sarah is the best instructor I've ever worked with! I've gone to weekly 1-on-1 classes for over 1 year and never felt better. She's extremely knowledgable and has helped me with numerous issues, from eliminating scoliosis pain to full-body prenatal workouts. She personalizes each session to target our goals and makes every week feel unique and not repetitive. Plus the studio space and equipment are top quality, making it an overall fantastic workout experience.

I'm in awe of the team behind by SB Studio. Sarah and her instructors design the most thoughtful compositions of challenging and restorative trainings that build client competency, strength, and confidence.

Highly recommend this studio!

I've been seeing Sarah for pilates for almost a year now! Not only has she made me feel strong during each of our sessions, but she has impeccable knowledge about the body and is always able to gear our sessions towards what my body needs that day! Since starting sessions with her, my confidence level has increased immensely and I couldn't be more grateful for our time together each week. I would highly recommend booking with her studio. Her other instructors are amazing as well!

I have been a client for almost 3 years and I must say that Sarah is one of the best personal trainers that I have experienced. Practicing Pilates with Sarah has elevated my running and strength training and she is expert at customizing each training session to meet you where you are, modify movements as needed, and progress you forward. The entire team she works with at Mims Method are first class and the training space is very clean, spacious, and beautiful. I highly recommend Sarah as a teacher/coach and the Mims Method team.

Working the team at by SB Studio has changed my view on fitness and Pilates. I never was never very interested in Pilates but their approach is thoughtful and strategic, they identify my strengths and weakness then target what I really need without being overwhelming. I highly recommend them.

Sarah will challenge you, exhaust you and you will see results-your body shape will change and you will get strong! Pilates has never been so exciting (& sweaty) as every class is different. The best decision I make every week is to go to my one-on-one class with her (if I could see her 2-3x/week, I would!). She also adapts—after a shoulder injury, we went slow for weeks to ensure I heal but while still strengthening the area. She is always engaged to make tweaks to your form which is everything in Pilates. I’ve been taking weekly classes with her for at least 2 years & she is worth every penny.

As a physical therapist and Pilates instructor myself, I'm super picky when it comes to instructors. Sarah is by far one of the best instructors I've ever had. Her cueing is always so descriptive and she's so good at modifying an exercise if something is bothering me that day. Not only do I go to her for regular sessions, but she also did a "bridal bootcamp" for me when I wanted to feel extra strong for my wedding. My physical therapy clinic sends our patients to her all the time and she's amazing at collaborating with other healthcare professionals. She's also just really fun to be around! xx

I started working out with Sarah virtually during the pandemic and have been completely in love with pilates ever since. Sarah is so knowledgable as a pilates instructor and she has a way of working with you to make sure you feel challenged but also accomplished during the session. She makes sure she understands your body and what your goals are specifically. I am getting married in August and she has me in full bridal pilates bootcamp mode! My arms and back are going to look amazing!

For many years I’ve been wanting to run a race to truly challenge myself but I am not a runner and had no experience. Sarah prepared me physically and mentally. She truly understands the limitations we put on ourselves and helped me get past them. The day of the race she ran with me, encouraging me and pushing me when I needed the push. I loved that she let me run at my pace but was there when I needed to “pick it up” (and I sure needed it)! At the end of the process I reached my goal and I was so proud of myself. I highly recommend anyone to train with Sarah. She truly empowers her clients to be and do their best!

We started our Pilates journey with Sarah and have traveled with her from studio to studio. There is no other instructor we can see ourselves with. She has become a friend who challenges us to our physical limits. She digs into our goals and tailors our workouts accordingly. Her Pilates knowledge is vast, and although our workouts can be intense, they are always fun. Hands down, we love her.

I thought I was in good shape, and then I did Pilates with Sarah! I’ve taken other reformer classes and liked them, but also left feeling beat up and saying “I never want to go back.” Sarah completely changed my outlook on the reformer and Pilates in general. It’s tough don’t get me wrong, but she custom tailors her sessions to your wants and needs. I’ve never met a teacher with better attention to detail when it comes to adjustments. An hour of working out has never gone by faster and I find myself wanting to work out longer! Not to mention, I’d pay to go just to get stretched by her! Every time I finish a session, I walk out feeling confident and strong! You might be sore for a few days after your first go, but believe me, it’s SO worth it!! Sarah is the absolute best Pilates instructor I’ve ever had!

Sarah is amazing. I have been seeing her for a little over a year now. Her knowledge of the practice and body is truly a gift in a personal trainer. Since seeing her I have noticed myself getting stronger and more in tune with my body. Sarah creates a judgement free space with calmness and encouragement. Her willingness to answer any question or concern about pain or discomfort has made practicing pilates such an enjoyable part of my week. Very excited to see my growth with Sarah in 2020!

Sarah is an absolutely incredible instructor and is so so patient. She really worked with me to help stretch and lengthen, as well as work through extreme tightness in my hamstrings ahead of my wedding. She pays super close attention to how your body is responding to each move and takes care to adjust accordingly. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone!
