When I turned 50 20 years ago I made a commitment to myself to work out on a regular basis, to see what I could do about my cellulite in my thighs and soon after that commitment to work on my arms and create Madonna arms. I have consistently worked out with a wide variety of trainers and did Pilates a long time ago at the Monroe Arts Center easily 10 years ago. I also got myself on a food program to handle by food addictions and lost close to 70 pounds over time. I maintain my food program today, I play singles tennis when I can and worked with a wonderful trainer all last year. And then I turned 70 and said, now what. I decided to go back to my love, Pilates and chose Kure Pilates because Krysta was a neighbor of mine at one time in Hoboken and I knew this was her love as well. She has been working with me now for several months and has been addressing my posture, my strength and my balance and all sorts of wonderful things including my core. I am very conscious of when I am standing tall and slouch free and also have a spring in my walk due to the wonderful agility I am maintaining. I know I am the exception especially here in Hoboken but I also know it's not the years in your life but the life in your years. Pilates absolutely adds to my life and I it is a pleasure to recommend Kure Pilates . In addition to all this there is the serenity that I experience during and after my session.

Amazing Experience at Kure! I wandered into their old location in midtown Hoboken around 6 months ago. I currently do Crossfit and found early on that my core was weak and it was affecting not only my lifting performance but my posture. I was skeptical about pilates at first being an ex-college athlete and being 6'2" and 225 pounds. Would it be awkward/embarrassing getting on the reformer? Would it be a good workout? Would I like it? Do men do pilates? If you have thought these things, STOP. It was the single best decision I made this year to get stronger in my core, look better for the summer, and challenge myself. The pricing deals were perfect for me and quickly I started to see results. Over the 6 month period, I think I have worked with all of the instructors, as each of them offer something a little different. The jump-board class not only is a challenging workout but has strengthened my body beyond my core. With their new location near the PATH, it has been easy to pop in and out and get 2-3 classes per week. I highly recommend grabbing one of their package deals and getting some time with a few different instructors to see what you like. Really thankful to the entire staff there for making me feel welcome and providing a stellar first pilates experience. read more

I was initially drawn to Kure as a Pilates novice because of it's proximity to my home in Hoboken and the recommendation of a friend who thought Pilates could help my chronic back issues. After working with the instructors at Kure for more than a year my back and core have never been stronger. My posture is dramatically better and I feel like all the beneficial changes in my body and lessons I've learned will help me immeasurably for years to come. People keep remarking that I look taller(I'm 6' 3") or they say I didn't notice how tall you were; but it's the Pilates that is helping me to find length and stretch out my vertebrae. After a year I'm hooked on Pilates and want to continue as long as I can. I've heard other Pilates studios are like gyms and I've been to one like that. Kure has a very warm and friendly environment. No surprise to find the owners Krysta and Lory project that warm feeling. They have recently moved to a beautiful new location on Hudson street with spectacular river views. There is always some great music playing to keep you in the rhythm during sessions. If you are a frequent client you may even get to express your musical preference! Pilates in Hoboken=Pilates at Kure. You will not be disappointed and may even be overjoyed like me. read more

I've been a client of Kure for about a year now. I've worked with many different teachers and have had such great experiences. I'm been working recently with Amanda all through my pregnancy and she has been awesome. Krysta, the owner, is absolutely wonderful and when I first decided I wanted to try pilates she patiently answered all my questions over email. This studio feels very personal and to me has a family-like atmosphere that you don't get from the big gyms and big names. After my first session I felt muscles I didn't know I had! But that being said, they never pushed me to a place I felt uncomfortable. I was in control and loving the session. Most recently, during my pregnancy, Amanda has worked with me on target areas and places I want to tone. I feel great after every session and always look forward to the next time. I look forward to keeping this going even after pregnancy and trying some of the classes. From the positive changes I've seen so far I can only imagine how great my body could feel and look after a more immersive experience in Kure. They have any type of class and private session you could need, I urge everyone to give it a try! read more

Kure is the best! I started with a series of private reformer sessions about 8 months ago, and have been hooked ever since. I was new to Pilates, and the instructors made sure to make me feel comfortable yet challenged. The semi-private classes are limited to three people, and have a really personal feel. Semi-private and mat sessions with Amanda are an amazing workout, I definitely recommend. My body has become much leaner and stronger, my posture has improved, and I feel all around better. Before starting at Kure I thought Pilates was a laid back workout, but that is not the case here. I leave class sweating and work areas and muscles I never knew I had, but the results are worth it. I used to belong to a big gym in Hoboken, mainly for the classes offered, but after starting at Kure I cancelled my membership. The classes at Kure fits any schedule, I get a great hour workout each time I go, and the discount for booking a package of classes is totally worth it. Definitely try Kure if you are looking for a Pilates studio in Hoboken- you won't be disappointed! read more

I've been taking private lessons at Kure Pilates for almost 2 years and I'm really pleased with my improved strength, flexibility, balance and overall fitness. As a 65-year old woman, I've worried about maintaining fitness in a way that's pleasant and sustainable. While I took spinning classes for several months, I couldn't take the hyper-activity and the loud music. Instead, Kure is a calm place with thoughtful and professional instructors who focus on each person. My teacher Malene is great - meticulous about insuring that I'm using the correct position for each exercise; willing to push me but not more than i can handle; inventive about introducing new exercises so I don't get bored; careful to ensure that I don't injure myself; and a delightful partner to help me improve my fitness. If you're unsure about whether Pilates is for you or if Kure is the right studio, I highly recommend their Intro package (3 private sessions at a special price). It's priced well and is a great introduction to Kure's programs and teaching staff. read more

As an out of shape older woman, I was nervous about taking classes at Kure. I've never had an exercise regimen of any kind, never liked exercising. When I first walked through the door, I have to say I was intimidated but, after ten months, I can say that my experience at Kure changed my life. Pilates is brilliant. Exercise here is more than mindless repetition; I am never bored. I have gained muscle, strength and flexible, I see a world of difference from when I first walked through the door, and my exercise program has changed accordingly. One of my fears going in was that I would hurt myself because I moved incorrectly. Never happened; never will happen at Kure. I keep learning more and more about myself, my body. That is because the owners and teachers are smart, down to earth, professional, and caring. They are able to treat everyone individually. The studio is clean and comfortable. Frankly, I can't believe how lucky I am to have walked through the doors at Kure and meet Malene Schjonning, my main instructor. read more

I sought out pilates because I wanted to find the right supplement to cardio to focus on strength, tone & flexibility. As a newbie (I'm an ex-athlete, no background in dance - aka not very flexible or graceful!), I was incredibly lucky to find Kure & their wonderful team! I love how close knit & personal the studio and classes feel. And, the staff is always so friendly & genuine. I've been taking semi-private classes 2-3 times per week for 7 months now, and am so happy with my results - I'm more toned (specifically my core) & in shape than ever! The instructors do an amazing job of balancing your personal considerations with an overall kick butt workout. I can always count on a fun, intense workout - the hour flies by! Highly, highly recommend Kure - they really are fabulous & worth every penny! read more

Kure Pilates is nothing short of amazing! All of the instructors are attentive, knowledgeable and make working out fun! I have been working with Krysta one-on-one for a little over a year...within that year she has personalized a program that incorporates classical Pilates while identifying and addressing issues that are specific to me. Krysta continues to educate me about my body and provides a rationale for every exercise we do. Because of this, I am not only more aware and attuned to my body, but I also have strategies to use when I am not working in the studio with Krysta. In addition to being an amazing instructor, Krysta is a great person. I look forward to my three hours a week in the Kure Pilates studio. I wish I found Krysta sooner as she is a true gem in the world of Pilates! read more

I began taking private sessions twice a week with Krysta a year ago. I was suffering from chronic back and neck pain as well as needed overall strength training. My body never felt better after pilates sessions at Kure. My only regret is not starting sooner. Krysta is patient, upbeat a world of knowledge and made my sessions fun. I was nervous about doing pilates as I had never taken a class before. Krysta put me completely at ease. She is a miracle worker and is extraordinary at what she does!! My body never felt better and she had me doing things I never imagined I could do. I've also had sessions with Lory, who is equally as amazing as Krysta. Her positive attitude about life and helping people is contagious. You will feel better just talking to her. read more

I started going to Kure in 2014 and after a few private sessions with Krysta I found out I was pregnant! After sharing the exciting news she tailored every class towards the parts of my body that were bothering me and was super knowledgeable about the changes my body was going through. I felt challenged but always comfortable. I truly believe my sessions with Krysta helped me have a healthy pregnancy and kept me in the best shape possible during those 9 months. Even after my daughter was born I have continued to be dedicated to Kure. My workouts are always different so I never get bored, the studio is super cute and clean, the staff is really nice, the hours are flexible and I look forward to my sessions! #kureforlife #kureforsure =) read more

Kure pilates is an amazing place in so many ways. The facilities are open and inviting, and well maintained. I have been going to the studio since they first opened in Hoboken, and have nothing but praise for the training and professionalism that embodies all aspects of the business. Kyrsta Johnson has been my instructor from the beginning, and I have found her to be patient, helpful, and well informed on all aspects of Pilates. With her gentle and firm encouragement, I have found that my body feels much more flexible and in shape. If I could, I would go every day but sadly, I cannot. There is a true sense of caring and personalized training. I would give it a 5 star rating in all areas. Linda P. read more

Out of curiosity and a trial and error for my daughters scoliosis, we sought Pilates as a way to help regain her core strength and possibly help with her posture. Well it's been a year, and we truly believe we see a real difference in her stamina and posture. Her specialist is very pleased with the results and we will continue to hope her dedication along with the expertise of her instructor Krysta at Kure Pilates will bring her even greater results. I was so hooked on her enjoyment while working out that I decided to join her too! Happy mother and daughter for sure and a great bonding time teaching her healthy lifestyle habits. I highly recommend the team at Kure Pilates! read more

Started with Amanda and private lessons just before they moved to current location. Basically followed her. Doing Pilates for a while with the usual expected results but she helps you exceed any expectations. Each session is designed for you to take you to the next level - no cookie cutter stuff here. Studio is clean, bright and the staff is very professional. If you want a real Pilates studio - this is the place. Highly recommend Amanda- very talented with a good eye for assessment/ intuition for your workout. Did I mention she is soft spoken and has a very calming sense about her?... Don't be fooled - her quiet / calm determination gets you to where you need to be! read more

I've been taking classes at Kure Pilates since November 2014. Prior to Kure Pilates, I had taken classes elsewhere but it was a much different experience. I love the intimate and communal feel of the studio. I enjoy taking the semi-private classes where you get hands on training with adjustments and proper alignment. All of the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with...plus they have a little spunk to them! :) I am now pregnant and have been taking their pre-natal classes. I feel great and plan to continue taking classes throughout my pregnancy and post baby to get back into shape. I highly recommend Kure Pilates! Rita Rust, Hoboken NJ read more

I hadn't worked out in months and I was looking for a new form of exercise that would keep me engaged. When I decided to try pilates in May, I looked into several studios in Hoboken and I decided on Kure based on location and schedule. I'm glad I did. I've had great work outs with several instructors and since the semi-private classes are limited to 3 clients I feel like I'm getting a personal workout. I definitely recommend Kure. read more

I've been going to Kure since the fall and absolutely love it! My body feels stronger and longer. I really feel the difference when doing other activities. My endurance is much greater. I've worked out with a few different instructors and have had positive experiences with each. Their schedule is great and you'll most often find someone available. There's also a great vibe there. Everyone is super nice and helpful. read more

The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and truly care about your goals. I have 2 herniated discs and bad knees and Krysta has done a great job helping me to strengthen to areas. I love that the studio is clean, bright, and new. Definitely recommend Kure! read more
