I booked a private class for my family visiting from out of town - we had the best time!!!! Our instructor, Dani, also the owner, was so fun, encouraging, and knowledgeable - while also giving us a workout that kicked our butts! The gym rat teenagers loved it as much as us, umm, older folks🤣. Highly recommend!

I took my first ever Pilates class here in the spring and went a couple times a week for a few months. The instructors are all top-notch and made sure I had a great foundation for Pilates. The classes are small and intentional. If I hadn’t moved out of the neighborhood, I would still be going!

I have been taking classes - group classes and private sessions - at Flying Squirrel for years now, and am healthier and happier for it. I initially went in because I was having lower back problems, but now, years later, their Pilates classes are part of my maintenance routine. Dani, the owner of the studio, is a wonderful teacher who works well with students at every level, and hires wonderful teachers who do the same. (Both my teenage children and my husband take classes, and they had never done Pilates before taking classes here.) The classes will challenge you but they are safe and the environment is supportive. It is a lovely, non-competitive environment that I love returning to!

I love this studio! Dani (the owner) teaches an intermediate/advanced class this is incredible- super creative and super challenging. I like that the classes are small and all the teachers give really helpful alignment cue and tips. I never wonder if I’m doing things correctly- they always let me know. I definitely recommend Flying Squirrel to all levels of students.

I love Flying Squirrel Pilates. The classes are small so you get individual attention, and the instructors are all super knowledgeable. Every class feels different, which helps to prevent “workout boredom” and I always feel like I’m getting a chance to work new and different muscles to keep the whole body toned. The studio vibe is also really welcoming. I’d been away from NYC for a few years and was so pleased to find that this lovely place was still here, with some of the same instructors who remembered me and welcomed me back. It’s a small female-owned business that I’m glad to support.
