    I signed up for Classpass and this was the first class I signed up for. It was a great first experience. There were only 4 of us In the class. I appreciated Doria's patience throughout the class. She broke down each movement and made the class very enjoyable. I look forward to returning. The studio was clean and after class we each wiped down our respective machines and accessories we used.

    My only conception of reformer pilates is solidcore, so just curious how similar or different this studio's classes are in terms of their machines, class format, intensity etc?

    This studio is going to be very different that a chain-style branded studio. Many of the teachers have studied traditional pilates, which uses resistances which are strong but not overloading. Studios like solidcore prefer overloaded restances-… Read more

    Does this place have classes for beginners?

    I don't think there is a class solely for beginners, but most of their reformer classes are open-level, meaning they are easy enough for beginners and modifiable for intermediate or advanced students. I recommend a private session if you don't think… Read more

    How do i cancel a reservation for a class?

The space itself offers a calming atmosphere, mindfully decorated with Buddha statues with pleasant aromas and complimentary tea. The studio itself is spacious and welcoming with a large bathroom, plenty of room to hang coats and store shoes and multiple workout rooms. I took a morning Sculpt and Tone class which was full but not overly packed. The pace of the class was well timed with spurts of work followed by enough breaks to recharge and start the next section of class. The class was a mix of lightweight training and Pilates movements that worked every part of my body. I walked out of class feeling accomplished and ready to take on the day. Classes here are pricey, but worth the investment in my opinion if you're planning to come here on a regular basis. After purchasing one drop in class I received a gift certificate for $30 which will cover another (not sure how long this promo will last) so it's like getting two classes for the price of one!

    I recommend the weekday evening classes. After class on a Saturday, I overheard the person at the…read morefront desk and a teacher ( I won't throw anyone under the bus) speaking recklessly about the class the teacher had just instructed.

I prefer specific instructors.

I've been going…read morefor the past few years and it is a staple in my weekly rotation of workout classes, as it's a well-rounded, full-body workout that makes you feel challenged but never burnt out. The workout is as easy or challenging as you make it, and modifications are always provided to make movements more accessible, with instructors providing detailed guidance on form. The mindfulness/breathwork section at the end of very class is also very rejuvenating. I usually take their Signature60 format, but enjoy taking the B3 Strength and Mindful Flow formats every now and then as well for some variety. The studio itself is beautiful and very spacious, with tall ceilings/windows and plants/cute decor displayed throughout that make the studio feel very cozy. They even have free coffee in the mornings! The staff is also incredibly kind and welcoming, both the front desk staff and the instructors!

The floor is not carpeted so if you have sweaty feet like I do just a little bit of a warning maybe wear socks. I did it barefoot which was fine. I felt the class was a bit crowded. I took it on a Wednesday at 6:30 PM. The space is quite beautiful. They have a lot of merchandise you can purchase. There is a changing room and bathrooms. I didn't use either so I'm not sure if they have anything to freshen up. They also have lockers with a key and cubbies You can leave your things.

    Overall, this studio is average yet one of the better ones we've tried and taken lessons…read more There is too lil correction in classes. While we seek for fun classes for lil dancers, we would like to see more corrections to learn the proper forms. Some classes are way too large. The waiting area is chaotic. There are often two classes begin and dismiss at the same time. The only changing room is in one of the class rooms. You have no choice, but change in the waiting are. Some wall hooks would be very helpful to free up the seats. The receptionist is always very kind, polite and considerate which is a plus. The sad looking bathroom needs a lot of help. The toilette paper hanger has been broken for ages and it's never fixed. The cleaner can also do a better job. The elevator has been out of order for at least 4 months if not more. The hookah lounge downstairs emits very strong smell that is also in the dance studio. I truly hope that this establishment will find a better space soon!!! ----//--- Update review (6/2018) My child has been taking ballet here for the past 3.5 years. It was all play before age 6. Then the students are taught more advance moves. Just saw the entire studio's performances for the first time. What a disappointment! The high level groups don't show any advancement. If you are looking for serious ballet, this isn't for you. What a big waste of money! No more classes there! Also 90 % of the kids of the entire studio were wearing the same costumes. Who does that? I am glad my child's grandparents couldn't be there. I feel terrible for the older audiences. I myself had a hard time finding my child on stage.

Several of the young ladies in my family took classes wherever they could, including a small basement space in Rego Park and a makeshift dance space at the FH Community House (which was ridiculously overpriced, even for members).

Finally, someone's raising the barre in Forest Hills. Great job, ladies! Keep it up!

I appreciate the variety of class formats (classic, define, align, and empower), and the attentiveness of the instructors in correcting form.

I received a warm welcome in from the receptionist who checked me in, had me sign a waiver, and explained the format of the Pure Barre Classic I was about to take, including what equipment I'd need and some things to keep in mind about tucking your hips under (which came in handy when this workout was underway). The studio is set up with a barre on each of the four walls, with mirrors covering two of those walls so that everyone participating can see their alignment and adjust as necessary. One tricky part for me was trying to see the instructor demonstrate from where I was standing (on the back wall). If it's your first time, I would recommend standing in the front (even though it's scary) because visibility is just much easier this way. This class was 50 minutes long, but thankfully had a bunch of stretch breaks thrown in after working each muscle group which was a much needed respite. There were intervals focusing on arms, legs, and core, plus plenty of full body work. We ended with a cool down stretch. This is definitely a challenging class, but beginner friendly for anyone interested. I'd go again.
