You must take at least one private class, or in some cases many private classes, before being allowed in group pilates classes. In other words, we can't "slow down" an experienced class to accommodate an individual who is just beginning. This is what the beginner classes and private sessions are for. Transitioning into intermediate or advanced group classes is based upon teacher recommendation and evaluation as everyone's learning curves are different.
If you are visiting and or transferring to Williamsburg Pilates Studio and are experienced, please reach out to discuss joining a more advanced class.
You want to be healthy. You need to be healthy. Therefore you need to add resistance training to your regular routine.
Pilates is the absolute perfect solution for those who don't enjoy the "typical" gym experience.
Pilates is easy on the joints and is the perfect exercise program as you phase out of Physical Therapy following knee, hip or other invasive surgeries.
It was designed to rehabilitate dancers and athletes following injury. Pilates is gentle and fluid.
SAFETY FOR YOU!
Williamsburg Pilates offers private, semi-private and small group classes of no more than 7 participants. PLUS...the studio is set up for appropriate social distancing between the equipment apparatus.
Handicap Parking directly in front of studio. No Stairs.

WORK OUT! HAVE FUN! MAKE NEW FRIENDS!
If you don't make time for your health, you will be forced to make time for your illnesses.
As I have recently learned, once you hit the big 5-0, the check engine light comes on and you find out that your body isn't 21 anymore and that the old adage, "use it or lose it" is actually true.
DON'T LOSE YOUR INDEPENDENCE.
My studio equipment is cleaned and sanitized between every class.
Classes are limited to 4 to 8 participants with plenty of room for social distancing.
The studio is a safe and judgement-free environment, both physically and emotionally.
Say no more, I’m in!
Extra weight is a big problem for many people, and this extra weight leads to high blood pressure, heart issues and diabetes.
Walking is great, and you should do this every day. But in addition to this, your exercise routine should include resistance training at least twice a week.
Regular exercise will definitely improve your health and subsequently you won't be afraid to step on the scale or go to the doctor and get your bloodwork.
