New York Pilates Mat Classes

Pilates on Fifth is located at 5th Avenue and 42nd Street in a wonderful landmark building. Our sun-filled studios are located in the penthouse, 22 stories above the busy streets below. Because of our convenient location, we attract clients from a number of different areas. Some of our clients commute to our studio from their homes in Connecticut or New Jersey, while others swing by Pilates on Fifth before or after work.

We offer a wide range of classes and sessions, including Pilates mat classes and Mat Pilates Plus. We recommend a combination of private sessions and mat classes for optimum results. Taking our incredible privates, duets or trios will allow our instructors to create a workout specifically for you. These private sessions take your personal goals, past injuries, and other specifics into account. They cost more than our mat classes, but we consider them invaluable.

We think our New York Pilates mat classes are the best in New York City. They make a fantastic supplement to your private sessions. Mat Pilates Plus classes are affordable and fun. Like Pilates privates, they target the "powerhouse" muscles of the lower back, abs, and buttocks. Because our Pilates instructors are the most qualified in the business, you can be assured of a safe, effective, and challenging workout.

Our instructors all have a great depth and breadth of knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics. They know more than just a series of Pilates mat exercises; they know how each of these exercises affects specific parts of your anatomy. As Pilates becomes more and more popular, studios are popping up all over the place. Since no regulation board exists to monitor Pilates certifications, almost anyone can become a "professional" instructor. We dislike this "anything goes" climate, which is why we're so picky about hiring only the most experienced, educated Pilates instructors, all of whom have been fully certified originally by STOTT PILATES® and subsequently through The Pilates Academy International.
