I love working with Cindy! I've done private sessions with her (which are great) but her group classes are so fun and challenging, and she's always patient and encouraging. I've seen major improvement in my own performance since I've started working with her.

I had such a great experience at Real Pilates with Payton! I was in the city for a trip and decided to book a session, and I’m so glad I did. Payton is super knowledgeable, encouraging, and really made the session fit my goals and experience level. Whether you’re new to Pilates or just want to step up your practice, I can’t recommend this studio and Payton enough. Definitely a 10/10 experience!

The teachers here are the absolute best. They know so much about Pilates and body mechanics and are incredible at personalizing workout to help you get the most out of it. My teacher coordinated with my physical therapist to tailor workouts to help with an injury—not just to make sure we didn’t do anything to make it worse, but to see what we could work on to speed up recovery. I have heard from friends who do Pilates in other cities that Real Pilates is considered the gold standard for training. Seriously great.

I teach Pilates in Japan and joined Yumi’s class during my trip.
It was my first time taking her lesson, and she guided every move with precision and rhythm.
The experience was truly valuable for me — I’d love to come back and join her class again!

If you’re on the fence, book with Payton! She made the class challenging but approachable, and her cues were so clear I never felt lost. She has the perfect balance of encouragement and push — I left feeling stronger, aligned, and energized. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a great Pilates instructor. Can’t wait to take another class with her!

Incredibly authentic to the art of Pilates!! Favorite Studio !!
I am a Super Fan!!
I originally studied pilates in the 1990s as a professional dancer I was fortunate to study with instructors that had studied with Joseph Pilates.
So when I was looking for a studio in NYC - I had great expectations and Real Pilates is The Real Deal!
This studio inspires me so much!
I found this studio looking for a place to restore my body after being injured at my job. Physical therapy wasn't enough!
I am so happy that I was able to train for a few months before having Neck Surgery- Disc replacement and I look forward to coming back to rebuild my body!!
Every instructor brings a wealth of insight and techniques.
Kisa is an amazing trainer that brings gentle strength to her sessions. I booked Kisa for privates sessions. I enjoyed how much I learned and how much my body was so happy after my sessions!
Jen is also an incredible intuitive trainer that I look forward to her classes. The training program is stellar in itself and I look forward to working out with the new trainees!

The receptionists are super sweet and helpful!
I love that Real Pilates provides an oasis to all the New York City stress that affordable and fun loving. And they have studios around the world!!!
go check out their website for more info!

Real Pilates is one of the best in New York City! No tricks just true Pilates. The instructors are wonderful. And extremely knowledgeable. My workouts are always top notch. Ask for Kathryn T for a private session. Finley my favorite for a group reformer class. A top notch studio.

I have a long medical history, including but not limited to 7 abdominal surgeries. For at least 20 years, l literally couldn’t feel my lower abdominals at all. They were completely numb, in the same way your foot feels numb when you sit on it for a while.

Because of these numb low abdominals I couldn’t execute several Pilates exercises. I just could not feel my muscles contract at all. 😢

Then, I took Yumi’s Tower Class. She asked the participants to complete a series of low abdominal exercises with increasing difficulty. After a few reps I was stunned to be able to feel my numb low abs firing. Oh my goodness I thought to myself, “My abs are waking up after twenty years!” Thank you Yumi and thank you Real Pilates! 🤣

I was initially a bit skeptical about Pilates. I’m a pretty big guy and have played sports and weight trained my entire life. I’ve read about the benefits of Pilates and how it improves mobility, so I decided to give it a try. I’ve done some Pilates mat training at Equinox, which has been great. However, Yumi’s tower class at Real Pilates has been a game changer for me. I never even realized how good my body could feel and have never felt so mobile. It has improved how I run, walk, workout, and do pretty much everything. Yumi challenges and pushes me to do my very best and change my body. Her class is tough, but she somehow has a way to make it fun too. I never thought I could feel this good at my age. Thank you to Yumi and Real Pilates for a consistently great workout!

I have a shoulder injury and always felt I couldn't participate in workout classes but Real Pilates has taught me that pilates is for everyone, despite whatever physical limitations you may have. Toni made the biggest impact and her one on one classes were so thoughtful and tailored to me as an individual. She's instilled so much confidence in me and made me comfortable to get into group classes thanks to the modifications she taught me and her thoughtfulness working with me. 10/10 studio and 10/10 instructors!

I have been working out at Real Pilates in Tribeca for the past 6 years. The majority of my workouts have been with Victoria. She is very knowledgeable about classical Pilates and knows how to push you to your fullest potential. She also makes it interesting and fun so you’re never bored. If you are interested in Pilates this studio is amazing.

Been taking Pilates for years at many different studios in different states
I'm older so many places are afraid to
Push me but thst is why I take Pilates to be pushed as far as I can go
My regular instructor is phoebe who is beyond good in fact fabulous she follows the principle of your last lesson was the easiest you'll have
When I could not use phoebe for another day I
Was introduced to Melissa who was relatively new and I guess that combined w me being older made it a little awkward
She seemed unsure of herself but each lesson has been better than the last
She has shown a self confidence in instructing and not only pushes me but keeps a strong pace .i am very happy
That I continued to use her and now feel
I have the best of both from Real Pilates

I've been going to Yumi for Pilates since 2019 , and she is truly an exceptional instructor. I always feel that I am in capable hands because Yumi is so supportive and attentive. Each session is perfectly tailored to push your limits whilst ensuring that you’re getting stretched and using your core. I really can’t recommend her more!

I've been training with Yumi for a few years now virtually. Whenever I am in NYC I love coming into the studio to see her. The studio is clean, well organized and the reception is friendly and welcoming. I have taken classes and privates with other instructors as well and they are excellent. I highly recommend and always look forward to visiting NYC and taking my pilates classes!

Real Pilates Tribeca is a beautiful and well equipped studio. They have so many great teachers for privates but also offer group classes. My teacher Yumi is encouraging yet pushes me to get further each time. I had many different teachers in different studios, and she is my favorite and the BEST.
You should definitely try to get private with her if you can (nearly impossible though lol), but if not, she also teaches group classes too. Her tower class was super challenging but really really fun, just about when you think you are going to die, time flew by and class is over! She doesn't let you wimp out even though she is teaching and watching many people in the class. I wish she taught one of these everyday!

I’ve been coming to this studio since they were down the block, 177 Duane Street. This beautiful Pilates studio is the true neighborhood gem and one of the best, if not arguably THE BEST, pilates studios. Ever. I’ve been to many, many famously well-established Pilates studios all over the world, and I always love to come back to Real Pilates. The instructors are great, and the staff are friendly and accommodating. If you have been looking for a place to build your strength and overall fitness, look no further. :)

They offer privates and also many group classes, and I like to mix them both so I can make sure I get my weekly multiple workouts without breaking the bank.

I love Alycea, the studio owner, and Premium master teachers Juan, Melissa & Yumi, but all of their instructors are really fantastic. Five stars for sure!

I look forward to my sessions becuase of Jenavieve. I love the way she links the exercise to the overall functioning of the body, describing the history of Pilates as we do the movements. Her attention to the details of the movements helps me to achieve my goals. And she is such a pleasure to learn from, has a broad array of knowledge and is sensitiveto my needs. She is a big part of why I get up early on Saturdays!!!

Yumi has been a blessing for me, both pre + post natal. I met Yumi when I was 5 months pregnant, and stayed with her until it was too hard to move. Not only was I able to continue doing Pilates (albeit with a lot of modifications), the stretching + relief that Yumi built into my sessions would change my entire day, especially towards the end of my pregnancy. Post-pregnancy has been an uphill battle for me + Yumi has helped me build back my strength with the utmost patience. Her constant attention to my form has not only made me stronger but has more importantly helped me avoid any sort of injury! Which any new mom can appreciate!

And without fail, with each + every session Yumi greets you with the biggest smile! Her energy is just the best and after each session with her I always feel stronger, more relaxed, and simply happy! I look forward to continuing with Yumi for as long as she will have me!

I am a Pilates beginner, but I have tried a few different instructors at a few different places, and Nina is so far beyond all the others that there's no comparison. She is rigorous yet gentle, swift yet unhurried, and she's all about teaching Pilates, not (like some other instructors) indulging in chitchat. She is not just a great Pilates teacher, she is a great teacher, period. I feel so lucky to be able to work with her.

Only giving 1 star because the studio is [aesthetically] gorgeous and the girl at the front desk was very sweet and, to be fair, the instructor was the main problem, not the studio itself. I do pilates at several different studios around the city EVERY WEEK (def not a beginner) and wanted to try Real Pilates for the first time.

The teacher I had was named Nina and although I think she was subbing in for someone, I still felt the need to leave this review because of how surprisingly negative this experience was for me. Not only did I find her not particularly well-trained and her instructions very confusing rather than clear-cut and easy to follow, but when the class was confused as to what to do because of her bizarre instructions, she had a way and tone of speaking that was pretty rude. Again, I do pilates a few times a week and this is the first time I quite literally felt targeted by the instructor as she would constantly speak condescendingly to me or come near me practically every time to fix my posture by being quite rough with my body. The friend I had with me noticed and saw how uncomfortable I was. She even singled me out at some point in the class, in front of everyone, and loudly asked if I had ever even done this before to a rowing exercise that quite literally was not an accurate rowing technique.

At certain points I literally wanted to clean my machine and get up in the middle of class. Again, I would have loved to try out this studio and love it so I'm sad that I probably will not be able to give this place a fair shot. If I wanted to pay 36 dollars to get bullied by a pilates "teacher" I would have gone back to my PE class in middle school.

I liked the class but I was asked to leave the class as there were no avilable reformers although I booked before and surely was on the list of the class. It was very sad experience and I cant stop thinking it was because I'm asian and easy to ask to leave.

Thank your for your reply here yet just to be clearer, I was there before the class started and didn't late for 5min. Also, I paid for Intro class and your desk just canceled the class that I was asked to leave (in my opinion this is nothing complimentary) never offer a free class which anyway don't mind as I won't go back. I liked the class that I took before. Please don't make it look worse with random excuse.
