2026 Pilates Studio

Midsection Connection

It’s no secret that Pilates continues to have a major moment — with a surge of studios and heated debates as to what does and does not adhere to creator Joseph Pilates’s 100-plus-year-old method. This welcoming Spring Garden studio lowers the noise around what’s trendy, inviting first-timers and advanced clients alike to train in the classical way. Choose from sessions on the mat (for Pilates’s original 34 exercises, from the Hundred to the Swan to the Teaser) or using the resistance-springed reformer or other equipment like the chair, the barrel, and the Cadillac.
