LifeSpan Pilates NYC

I was able to get an appointment the same day I called, which was a great start. The session itself was a full, challenging workout tailored to my specific limitations, so I felt supported but still pushed in the best way. The instructor was friendly, professional, and clearly knew the techniques thoroughly. The facility is clean and never felt crowded, and I noticed that everyone appeared to receive the same level of personalized attention that I did from their instructors. I felt so confident after my first session that I immediately bought a ten-session package. I’m really excited to keep coming back!

Cynthia is brilliant and her classes help improve my practice and my teaching. I am the only Romana's Pilates instructor in Madison so I'm excited to have a regular class in my method!

NancyJean was very gracious and patient with me. She took the time needed to give commentary and minor correction throughout the test when necessary. Despite my nervousness in the beginning she made me feel at ease and seemed to appreciate the time and effort that I have put in to prepare for this first test. She gave constructive criticism for my own body demonstration as well as the test body I worked with. I appreciated her relaxed approach and the way she pointed out things to pay attention to as I evolve as an instructor.

Had such a wonderful experience at this pilates studio! Highly recommend. I'm a studio owner in Miami and when I'm in town, I like to schedule a private pilates lesson here!

I really don’t appreciate being touched without being asked first. This was a very high touch class. The instruction was confusing, and they physically put me and the other participants into positions instead of just explaining better. Someone had their hands on me probably 95% of the workout. Corrections included touching my pelvic and hip area without asking, poking my sides without asking, and fully putting their arms around me while giving direction very close to my face. I felt incredibly uncomfortable. At times, I wasn’t even getting a workout because the instructor was moving my legs for me instead of allowing me to engage and do it myself. It really crossed a line when, after correcting my back, the instructor absentmindedly played with my pony tail. There was a woman there who was very kind and helpful. She was high touch, but her instructions were more clear and she allowed me to do the workout myself. However, I will not be going back. I am writing a review as a warning to others who may want to check this studio out that it is very high touch without consent.
