My Balanced Body Pilates instructor journey started with Ann Toran and finished with her.
Ann is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced — I traveled from Connecticut each time just to take her courses. She is truly a five-star trainer, and if you’re in New York, I highly recommend taking her classes. She can definitely help you reach your goals. The studio is also equipped with updated, high-quality machines, which makes the experience even better.

Vanessa G’s classes just keep getting better. Her cueing is always clear and precise, and she knows exactly how to make the right modifications while offering great challenges for advanced clients. I sometimes have to come to a Level 1 class due to the time, and she still finds ways to make it feel dynamic and engaging. She’s amazing at helping new clients feel comfortable while never forgetting about those who’ve been coming for a while. Every class is different and leaves me feeling stronger, motivated, and excited for the next one.

Extremely inconsiderate and money minded group here. So far two sets of interactions with their team and both are subpar - 1/ I called them and asked if I should come to their studio as a pregnant person, and their founder told me it’s perfect to come in. While the instructor had no idea on the dos and donts of Pilates for a pregnant person. The other instructor who had just finished teaching a class before my class seemed to know the dos and donts, and told my instructor the modifications she should instruct me. But during the class, my instructor had no clue and didn’t follow through on any of the modification instructions. 2/ I thought of this as a one instructor problem & still giving them a chance so I purchased the 5 class package. I booked the class with a different instructor. And on the day off, I was down with the flu. I called them and asked to accommodate a one off cancellation (still 5 hours before the class but outside their cancellation window). The person on the phone was super rude and charged me for the class regardless! Very inconsiderate team overall and recommend staying away.

My husband and I take classes here twice a week and are obsessed. Every instructor teaches us something new and makes us feel stronger. We’re huge fans of Richie and love the energy and music he brings every week. Pilates has quickly become our favorite activity together and we’re so grateful to PRNY for making it so accessible and fun!

My friend dragged me to my first Reformer Pilates class while I was visiting from the UK - to say I was nervous was an understatement, but Vanessa made it so easy and welcoming. She’s thorough, patient, and now I can’t wait to take her class again next time I’m in town!

I’ve been coming to the studio for about a year now and I really have come a long way with my flexibility and understanding of the reformer itself. I love what each of the instructors has to offer and look forward to my hour of being on the reformer each day.

Discriminatory, rude and insulting. I’ve never had this experience before with any workout class as this studio in UES. Soon as I entered, Gillian - the instructor, asked me about injuries, which I informed her of a recent one, and if I’ve done Pilates before - which I answered yes. Then upon moving to the reformer, she asked me to adjust it to my height and I started - which apparently was the wrong way. She immediately starts yelling and insulting me as if I’m a child that needs discipline. I wanted to leave immediately but I was frozen in spot…she made me feel so small and stupid that I was shaking and didn’t know what to do or say. For rest of the class, she didn’t pay attention to me at all and I was so afraid to touch anything or do any wrong movements in fear of getting yelled at. I’ve also taken their intro to reformer class and am a returner to their studio…it also doesn’t help being the only woman of color in the class and getting yelled like this in front of everyone. If they don’t want anyone that makes a mistake to join, then they need to say so vs insulting them to this extent. People like Gillian are also the reason new folks turn away from Pilates, making it seem like too complicated.

One of the signs in their studio says you “learn Pilates here” whereas other studios you “only do Pilates.” You don’t learn anything here, you get insulted, yelled at and humiliated. You feel terrible leaving the workout and you never want to return & tell others not to come to this studio as well - especially people of color.

The experience here was so terrible that I am writing to BBB and DCWP.

As many others have said -- this place is the real deal. Owned by a true New York Queen as well as a Pilates master, it is one of a few non-corporate studios left in the city. All the instructors have different approaches and it is extremely valuable to take classes with as many different people as you can, so as to learn the most. In the world of corporate chains, supporting our local small business is more important than ever.

I have been going to PRNY regularly for years. To say I love the studio is an understatement. The instructors are all amazing in their own way. Each one offers incredible workouts with great cueing and corrections. It’s not a slick, fancy studio, but it is clean, bright, cozy (not cramped, cozy in a comfortable way) and the reformers are all in great condition. I would go there every day if I could!

I loved the studio it self, however the teacher I had was very antagonist. She made me feel really bad about my Pilates experience in front of the entire class, saying I am inexperienced and don’t know how to use anything (I’ve been doing Pilates for 4 years). She only helped the other students, she never came up to me or assisted me after she yelled from the beginning of the class. I really just like to feel good after working out, but in this case, I left feeling terrible.

I started taking reformer classes at Pilates reforming NY in their original Times Square location in the 2000s. So many years later I have now tried many studios all over Manhattan and Brooklyn and Ann Toran, the owner, is still one of the best instructors I have ever had. (I liked a few of their other instructors too but they have since left - Ann is still there!) Ann is the perfect person to learn reformer fundamentals with and to continue your practice with more challenging choreography.

Instructors are good, but Vivian Del Valle: you should give a courtesy call when the class is cancelled without customers' knowledge which happened three times. I believe this is your general inconsiderate attitude towards customers which I advise you something to be aware of. Also, saying "sorry" due to your mistakes won't kill you.

Amazing class with Ann focusing on the fundamentals/foundation ensuring proper form/alignment to ensure we are safely and effectively performing the movements/exercises. Tried and challenged with new positions and slowing down to ensure getting most out of it. Looking forward to my next class with Ann and continuing to learn.

Kate is a fantastic, kind and perceptive teacher. She always eases me into doing something I think I can't do--Kate is a fearbuster! And she sees everything in her class--every time my form is off or my body decides to cheat a bit, she sees and comes to the rescue with an adjustment to ensure I'm getting the most out of my workout.

I love this local studio. It's definitely no-frills (I go to the UES location) but the instructors make up for the lack of ambiance and amenities. Richie is my absolute favorite instructor. I love his upbeat personality and the class is not only a great hour of fitness, but a fun part of my week. It's not cheap, but I love that they are part of Class Pass and offer different promotions throughout the year.

This past summer, as my 79th birthday arrived, I had the good fortune to run into a friend who extolled the benefits of Pilates classes and encouraged me to give it a try. Best of all there was a Pilates studio at 214th St. and Broadway, close to my Riverdale apartment.
I signed up for my free introductory class with Pilates Reforming NY on July 14, 2015. Anne, the instructor, explained how the apparatus, known as a Reformer, worked as she set out to give us instruction on the various exercises. I loved the feel of working on the Reformer. Learning to master these challenging exercises brought me back to my youthful training in fencing. I was hooked.
In just a few months I’ve taken over 40 Reformer classes with Ann, David, Richie and several other instructors at all three locations. The classes are a delightful challenge. Each teacher is a little different of course. All of them are very precise in making sure that you are doing the exercises correctly, very hands on and attentive to your needs, in particular when you are a beginner.
I have been averaging three classes per week since the beginning in July. I felt the results almost immediately. I feel younger, much more energized and walk with greater spring in my step. I feel my abs for the first time in years. Within a few weeks of starting, my wife pointed out how much more wakeful I appeared.
At my age, I have been retired for many years but the precision required with these Pilates exercises reminded me so much of my time in college, learning to fence and eventually, in my 20s, representing the United States in the 1958 fencing World Championships, the 1960 Olympics and the 1963 Pan American Games.
I love taking these classes and on those rare occasions when I have had to miss a week because of family matters or travel I can’t wait to get back
I have referred one young woman acquaintance to Pilates and she tells me she is now taking several classes each week. My wife and I plan to buy a reformer to use in our winter house in FL. Pilates has changed my life.

Classes at Pilates Reforming have changed my life.
I have worked out my entire life but because of 2 herniated discs my constant pain kept me from keeping my body in shape. I tried many doctors, injections and PT. Finally, I discovered this studio.
After taking classes regularly here, I feel like my old self. I stand taller and am much stronger then ever, even more then when doing weight training.
I love that there are so many classes to choose from at different times. All of the instructors are caring and knowledgeable . I am constantly amazed how they can spot 10 students at once and their slightest correction of form helps to take you to the next level.
The owner Ann Toran is serious but has the utmost respect for the classic pilate's school and training. She instructs all her students carefully so that they are safe in their practice while training and stay healthy. You will learn perfect form that will transform your practice and body.
Anne Pae, Richie, Fabricia and Wes and all the others are just as caring, professional and knowledgeable and each offers their own gifts to their classes. I have learned so much from them all and and I am so grateful I found this studio with such amazing instructors.

I started pilates here over a year ago and love it. I came here on the recommendation of my doctor after a bad accident that resulted in a cervical fusion of five levels. I never thought I would be able to do pilates, let alone enjoy it.At the same time, I am getting stronger every day. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and I feel confident that I will not get injured.There are usually about ten people in a class, and I always feel that the instructors are watching everyone and making corrections when necessary.The best part about Pilates Reforming is that there are so many classes offered that it is always easy to schedule a class. I would highly recommend Pilates Reforming New York to anyone.
