Absolutely the best. Suzette and her team are amazing. From Pilates to Barre to Stretch class, each one is simply awesome. My body feels so good leaving the classes and private sessions. Such a fun and loving group of ladies. Highly recommend.

I’ve been working with suzette since Jan 2020 and introduced my parents to her and I’m so happy I did! as a pilates instructor myself, I feel so grateful to work with such a knowledgeable teacher. I think of suzette as my pilates mentor and I am so grateful for our relationship. She teaches my whole family and we love her. During Covid lockdown, I spent my quarantine in shelter island and seeing suzette was literally the highlight of my week. I can’t recommend her more. She’s wonderful.

Suzette is the best teacher I've ever encountered. Her focus is on correct alignment and working correctly to prevent injury and get better results. She creates a supportive environment for everyone to push to their own personal edge to work safely. I have learned so much from Suzette and am so grateful for her classes! 💓

Suzette’s barre class is the best in the business and I’ve been to many. Her knowledge of form comes from a deep knowledge of Pilates and dance.

Illysa at SIPilates is a wonderful and charming teacher who has helped me overcome my hip misalignments and gotten me back into walking and cycling
by strengthening my muscles. I'm very lucky that Suzette brought me to her!

Suzette and the team at Shelter Island Pilates and Barre are amazing. I first went to Suzette long ago when I was pregnant and then I moved to Shelter during the pandemic and started attending her zoom classes and then private sessions. She helped me get focused on my body again after such a long time of working remote on my computer. It alleviated my stress during such a crazy time. She is a living embodiment of how amazing you can look and feel as you age when you focus on yourself. Love her!

Suzette & Shelter Island Pilates have helped me in so many ways. Throughout Covid-19, Suzette has been offering Zoom classes 3-4 X per week. She started them immediately once the pandemic hit and they have been a lifeline for the community and a chance for us to connect. She has helped me stay in shape, build muscle, strengthen and stretch and she has helped my mind stay grounded. She has a positive and spiritual nature that is beautiful and strong. I look forward to my classes with her.

I think Suzette is the best in the business. She puts 120% of her energy into every class she teaches, and her technique is impeccable. Her foundation in dance provides a discipline and attention to form that is both helpful and inspiring. She also provides ways of thinking about and caring for your body that stay with you! Her studios are both incredibly gorgeous spaces. We are lucky to have her on Shelter Island!

Lovely studio. Suzette is amazing. She assessed my level and guided me through a supportive yet challenging session. Just when I thought my perfect weekend couldn’t get better I met Suzette.

I've long been a fan of the Pilates studio--superior teachers with a gift for tailored results--but the barre studio is a marvelous new addition. Top notch classes in a lovely space, with a graceful, relaxed vibe. I am stronger, leaner, more aligned with the benefit both of personal attention and group energy; they are masters at teaching to a variety of levels and needs. Go!

The owner, Suzette, is a master teacher and a real healer. She will look at your body and tell you where your weakness are and how to fix them. Listen to what she says because she's always right and you will age better and look better! She has really helped me get results. I love doing pilates with her & her staff and I love her barre classes too. I like them better than other bar classes-- the flow of exercises is better, you don't overwork your quads, the music is better and not as insanely loud and the instructors don't scream at you which is my pet peeve. Everything is clean and beautiful too. A+++

I have been working with Suzette Smith of Shelter Island Pilates for years and have never felt better about my whole self. Suzette is very knowledgeable about the body and what needs to be worked on to keep it strong and aligned. Taking Pilates throughout my recent pregnancy helped me and my baby to stay healthy, not to mention how her guidance is getting my post-partum core back in shape. Her Zumba classes are the best!

I visited beautiful Shelter Island once for a 50th birthday party and was invited for a private Pilates session with Suzette Smith. I mentioned my hips always seemed tight and I suffered from a lower back ache. She had me look in the mirror and pointed out how one shoulder was higher than the other. It was crazy obvious but I never saw that before. She had me do some exercises while she manipulated my body and had me look in the mirror again. My shoulders were balanced and even and it was so obvious! Then we focused on some mat exercises that I could do at home since I live three hour away.Some were new to me and a few were familiar because I practice at home with a few dvds. Suzette corrected every position I did. What a difference "correct form" makes! It felt right and so good my body wanted it and needed it so much! I wasn't getting much benefit at all from my workouts at home because I wasn't doing it right and I didn't even know it. And I worked out regularly. I learned I was actually causing my lower back ache. I protect my back when I work out now.. And I took so much home with me. If I lived on Shelter Island or visit again, Shelter Island Pilates will be first on my list of things to do. No doubt in my mind. I will never forget what an amazing one session I had.

Strengthen, stretch and feel good! Teaching proper body mechanics is what SI Pilates is all about and they are good at it! Expect to learn how to move/work mindfully while at SI Pilates and throughout your day.
