I did my Pilates certification program through Gramercy Pilates and it was the best decision made. I also had the opportunity to take classes at the studio and the instructors helped me understand my body and get the best out the exercises through good form; they offer great class options and packages.
Gramercy Pilates NYC has given me the foundations and knowledge to offer the best care to clients. I am so grateful for everything Ernie and Kim did through my time at Gramercy.

I love Gramercy pilates. All of the teachers are amazing and the equipment is fantastic. I take group reformer classes on a regular basis. The instructors always give individualized attention to everyone. The variety of classes is also fantastic- from traditional to targeted areas of the body. The front desk is also wonderful-friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend!

I did my teacher training here with Kim Fielding and it is difficult to put into words the magnitude of her warmth, knowledge, diligence, and kindness. You can ask her any question no matter how "dumb" you might think it is and she focuses and spends time until she knows that you understand and feel comfortable. You can tell Kim is an expert in Pilates by the details to form, history, and her ability to teach to an array of students. She creates an extremely positive, happy, and safe learning environment and is able to tailor her teaching depending on your experience. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever come across and whether you are working with her in teacher training or Pilates lessons, I can confidently say you are in AMAZING hands and you will feel better physically and mentally after spending time with her.

I've taken several intermediate Pilates classes at Gramercy Pilates with Sharon and with Teresa. They were both excellent teachers, and clearly knowledgeable about pilates. Classes are large, so there isn't much individual correction, but directions are clear and the class was a good workout of all muscle groups. The studio is large and there is enough room between machines to feel comfortable.

Gramercy Pilates offers the best mat and comprehensive teacher training you can find. The studio will work with you to complete the program at your own pace, and support you every step of the way. This course emphasizes biomechanics, so that you graduate from the teacher training program with the ability to teach any type of student (beginners, professional athletes, clients with injuries, etc). Because of its PMA approved curriculum, you'll be able to work at any studio with a certification from Gramercy Pilates. I highly recommend it for teacher training, group classes, and private sessions.

The Pilates instructor training program at Gramercy Pilates was wonderful. I recommend the program if you re looking for amazing people to help you on your journey to become a Pilates instructor. Kim Fielding who is the director of training is very knowledgeable will take the time to get to know you and guide you in becoming a confident teacher. With her guidance, attention to detail, patience, and program you will leave feeling ready to apply to any teaching job.

I did my Comprehensive pilates Teacher training program at Gramercy Pilates . The teacher training director Kim fielding is an amazing person. Her knowledge and ability to translate the complexities in a very understandable way is exemplary. She created a great cohesive learning environment by providing guidance and constructive feedback, whenever necessary. It is one thing to train the students but completely different ball game preparing teachers.
Kim values the opinions of others and lets you develop on your own while still staying true to the teachings of Joseph Pilates.
If I have to pinpoint one take away, I d say she has provided me with the teaching tools/practices necessary to be a compassionate, empathetic and confident pilates instructor.
I could not have wished for a better teacher and guide.

This is the only pilates studio I've tried. I found Gramercy Pilates through a Gilt deal and took a few private lessons to make sure I understood the basics. Since then I've tried the beginner reformer classes, open reformer classes, and mat with props (tough!) and feel like I have a good foundation for pilates. My instructors (Tai, Inessa, Charlie) have all been great at making adjustments and kind. I tend to choose the classes that only have a few students in them to try and get individualized attention, but there can be up to 10 students in a class if it fills up.

Note: Only negative is that in the summer, a couple times it got quite warm in the studio. Also, there are a lot of emails sent out (too many for my liking), but if you subscribe you can get some deals on the classes. There are no lockers, only cubbies by the front desk.

This is a physically attractive studio with a calm, no-stress atmosphere. I've been a student here for over four years and taken class with different teachers, many of whom were trained and certified through the studio's own program. Teachers here are attentive to safety and proper form in private as well as group sessions, modifying exercises to accommodate individual needs. Through their guidance I have learned a lot about my body and gained the strength, tools and understanding to improve my physical being in general, and as a dancer. The studio offers great class options and package prices.

I went to Gramercy Pilates for about 2 months when I lived in the area. Really liked all the instructors I tried; not one bad experience. All were slightly different; but attentive to form; and offered corrections and suggestions when I mentioned an injury hat I had. Classes start on time; and its a pretty cost effective workout considering some of the other high priced workouts in the neighborhood.

Gramercy Pilates is my favorite pilates studio in Manhattan! I don't even bother looking up the instructor because they are all so amazing. The studio itself is beautiful - super clean, wood floors, on a great street, and convenient to subways. The classes are always on time, the instruction I receive is extremely personal. Five stars!

After trying multiple Pilates studios in NYC, I finally found Gramercy Pilates and have had nothing but good experiences. First off, it is one of the few clean studios I've been to, which is very important. The instructors are welcoming, collaborative, and genuinely want to help.

Gramercy Pilates is just what you'd want from a pilates class. Class size is not too large, teachers are super smart and the work out is top notch! Everyone from celebrities to ladies like me with injuries to manage are treated with respect and enthusiasm. I am an early convert and cant't wait to buy another pack of classes. I love the morning classes!

KIM is the BEST Pilates Master director in NYC! I definitely had a great experience during my Pilates Teachers Training with her. She was always positive, detail oriented, and took a lot of time to get to know her students and help everyone along the way. She provided me with some of my best ideas for improving my teaching and helped me to be a compassionate and confident instructor. Kim also teaches Pilates classes and I highly recommend my friends and coworkers to take the fantastic class with her and you will find your new body through the exercise.

Very happy coming here! I found a Groupon for 10 classes, and have been impressed with the quality of teachers and effort they put into correcting form and teaching. They have a variety of times available, so it fits well with my schedule. Highly recommend if looking for a Pilates reformer studio. The exercise is so good for your body, and they do a great job of adjusting it to your needs.

I have been doing private Pilates sessions with Kim Fielding at Gramercy Pilates several times a week for about a year. Kim s intelligence and mastery of her subject matter combined with her natural warmth and supportive and engaging manner make her the perfect teacher and guide for a beginner like me and for experienced Pilates practitioners as well.

Gramercy Pilates transformed me mentally and physically. Five months ago, I could not even hold tabletop at my first class (I cringe to think now!) I got addicted during my Beginner's series classes with Sheena and Sonia. Eventually I moved to Intermediate, and Kim, Elisaveta and Bethany have all been phenomenal in continuing my education.

Every time I take a Masterclass with Kim, my practice significantly improves. She has a hawk eye for form and deconstructs challenging moves into set up exercises that all come together. She is also incredibly thoughtful to each and every student. It is no wonder she has trained nearly half of NYC's instructors.

The studio itself is like a private oasis from the city, and I enjoy the small group classes. I've tried a few other studios in the area and felt like they're just cranking out class after class, with a different instructor every time, without knowing or caring about their students. I will be staying with Gramercy Pilates!
