View all FAQsIs the first class $20 or $95?
Both figures are published and they buy different things. One record lists a $20 first class. The studio's own page says new clients start with a 55 minute private intro session at $95 before joining group classes. Ask which route applies to you, because the gap between them is most of a month's classes.
Who runs the studio?
Darci Brawley, a master trainer, who founded it in 2009. That is a long run for a boutique studio and it is the reason the review record is as deep as it is.
What do the ratings look like?
5.0 from 77 reviews, which is a rare combination. A perfect average across that many people is the strongest signal on this page.
Where does it sit?
234 East 17th Street, Suite 210, inside the Plaza Sereno courtyard at Paseo 17, on the corner of 17th Street.
Are there prenatal classes?
The studio runs pre and postnatal Pilates with certified instructors, and asks that you clear it with your doctor first. That is the right order and it is not a medical service.
What kit does the studio have?
Reformer principally, with the Wunda chair and trap table appearing in private work.
What happens on Sunday?
Three hours, finishing at 11:30am. Saturday runs 8:30am to 12:30pm and weekdays go from 6:30am to 7:30pm.
What kit do I need on?
Form fitting clothes and grippy socks, required on the reformer and sold at the studio.
