reviewsWhat Members Say

Members consistently praise the highly qualified, attentive instructors who provide clear instructions and focus on proper alignment, with specific mention of two male instructors being particularly easy to follow. They love the clean, light, airy studio space and welcoming atmosphere that feels like a community gem in the city. Some note that classes fill up quickly, requiring booking 8-9 days in advance, and that class focus can be unpredictable and sometimes repetitive. A few members find some instructors hard to follow and mention that advanced moves require private lessons, but overall they report physical improvements and appreciate both in-person and online class options.

I just finished the new client 2 weeks unlimited special. I really enjoyed the classes and everyone who works here is super nice. Pros: I went 4 - 5x a week for 2 weeks and was surprised at how sore I was after my workouts. Clean, cool studio. You can even stretch out in the back after a workout. Or come in early to use the reformer before your workout (assuming there isn’t a class). Cons: You don’t really know what body part the instructor will focus on & it often ends up being the same areas. Classes fill up fast. I booked 8-9 days out to get the times I wanted. Most of the instructors are hard to follow. I found 2 guy instructors to be the easiest to follow and had clear instructions about form and strength. Don’t expect advanced moves, you’ll have to take private lessons. I took private lessons at equinox and discovered that I was doing more advanced workouts after trying these classes.

This is a lovely Pilates studio with excellent, attentive teachers. I am very picky about Pilates teachers and have abandoned other studios where the teachers chat too much about themselves, don't pay attention to proper alignment, and don't zero in on students. Here, I have had a great experience doing both private and group classes. The teachers are exceptionally good, the space is gorgeous, and the vibe is friendly.

Great instructors - they are clear with instructions and use of the reformer which seems quite daunting at the first class. The studio is very clean, light and airy. I took advantage of the introduction 2 week of unlimited classes and I feel much more confident. Have I seen any improvements? I have knee and ankle issues and they seem to have lessened.

I wanted to post a review for the studio’s pandemic response/classes. Body Chemistry has done an amazing job of serving its clients. There are several options for classes - including in-person reformer classes that meet all city Covid-prevention standards and feel very safe and a wide array of online options. If you are looking for a place to do Pilates in person or online - this is the gold standard.

I've been a loyal student at Body Chemistry for over 3 years now, and that's saying a LOT - they have truly earned status as one of my favorite places to come on a weekly basis! The highly qualified teachers always bring their A-Game in that they really know their stuff and are trained in the classical and contemporary pilates methods, they come up with unique classes every time (no templated classes and annoying high volume music here thank goodness!), and truly care about your progress and your goals in doing pilates. The loyal folks who come here on the regular are also lovely and it really feels like a welcome place in the midst of the every more hustling and bustling city. Body Chemistry is a true gem, I don't know how I'd get my fabulous pilates body elsewhere without them!
