I've done Vinyasa, Sculpt, HIIT Pilates, Mat Pilates, and Serene Yin. The classes that are meant to be more challenging definitely are, and so you get a good work out. The studio has everything you need, from mats to props, but I prefer to bring my own mat or a towel because I am a bit on the germaphobic side and I think because the mats have been sprayed down by alcohol so many times, they aren't that grippy anymore. The only thing I find strange is, I feel like almost every time I've been to the studio, it's always someone subbing for the main instructor. So, I can't say I have someone that I consistently like and go to because I feel like it's a different person every time. That being said though, I have nonetheless thought every session I've been to were pretty high quality. Definitely recommend! P.S. Because it's the holidays they have a Christmas tree up, which makes me feel happy looking at it :)

Despite doing all…read moreof those activities, I have a gut that makes me look like I'm 6 months pregnant (I do eat like a pig). I also have 33 years worth of wear and tear on my knees. I regularly practice yoga since it's a great way to mitigate stress. However, I've recently started to feel disconnected from yoga. You don't get individual attention in a crowded room with 70 people. The donation classes are smaller, but have inexperienced instructors. I'm not quitting yoga altogether. To quote Ross Geller, I'm on a break. I decided to try out Pilates, which is basically yoga sans random Hindu chants. Almost every Pilates studio that I Googled was prohibitively expensive. Fortunately, I stumbled upon Progressive, which has reasonable prices compared to other Pilates studios. After reading all of the positive Yelp reviews, I gave Progressive a shot and took the Monday 8 PM class. When I entered the studio, I was bewildered by all of the fancy equipment. The instructor was a woman who was about 5 feet tall, 95 pounds. I thought to myself that the class would be a cakewalk. I was in for a rude awakening. This class pushed me to the limit. There were times when I wanted to cry. Nevertheless, it was exactly what I needed. The mantra "no pain, no gain" is so true. Many of the poses worked my abs. There were also a few which caused me to feel a burn in my biceps and triceps. And unlike in yoga classes that I've taken, the instructor in this class worked out with us- she didn't just tell us what to do. Although we didn't use the fancy equipment, I definitely got my money's worth. There are a few flaws, none of which will deter me from coming back. The studio is very small- there was only one other student in the class. The space where the class is held is literally right near the door. This will be a serious issue in the winter. Another flaw is that the times in which the classes are offered are extremely limited. There's only one class per day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The only evening classes are on Mondays and Wednesdays. A third flaw that's not the fault of the studio is that once the L train shuts down next year, it will be a pain in the ass getting here. Nevertheless, I'll cross that (Williamsburg) bridge when I get there.

Unfortunately for me, I have issues with chronic pain that require targeted training. After living with that pain for years I finally sucked it up and decided to try pilates. My mind was pretty much blown with Mandi. On a basic level she's a competent, knowledgeable and patient teacher. What makes her special is the following: *I actually enjoy and look forward to my sessions. For real. I would go 4 times a week if I could afford it. *I feel great, have more energy and my pain is essentially gone. *She will never annoy you with false enthusiasm. She will never speak to you like a child or a dummy. When she does praise you it's earned and feels great. Go to her. She is awesome.

She taught me so much and trained me so well I was actually asked to be in a promotional pilates video for the studio in which she worked. When she thought I needed something different, she modified my sessions to incorporate more "boot camp" style exercises. She has the great ability to gauge what you need while at the same time getting you to give more than you think you can. I'm a lot healthier and stronger thanks to her guidance and training. Her new studio is private, and the results for me, at least, are the same if not better. I have a lot to thank Mandi for.

I have been going to Julia at The Swan for about a year and love every single minute of it. As a…read moreformer gymnast in my early thirties, I've been struggling to find a workout which literally could transform my body while building upon my lifetime of exercise. Julia begins each session by asking me how my body is feeling and is always listening and taking mental notes. From there she'll make a quick assessment and then we begin, always building on our last session and incorporating new moves to continue strengthening and aligning my body. It is amazing how much knowledge one person can have about the movements of the human body. There may be days where I'm feeling very tired and feel I cannot muster the energy to go to my session, but I do and each time I don't regret it. In fact, I feel reinvigorated after my workout, and each time I feel so much happier and better about myself. Julia is someone who truly enjoys and has a passion for sharing her Pilates knowledge and cares for your well being. I personally believe she is is way more effective than a therapist and costs a lot less. I would recommend The Swan in a heartbeat and feel stronger, and better about myself. Looking forward to my continued success at The Swan and learning more about Pilates.

I quickly purchased their intro pack and after 2 classes, was hooked. I then bought their 16 classes in 30 day package. I was so excited to start my month of classes, but got COVID shortly after. Thankfully, Sireena was super understanding and paused my package until I tested negative. Once I started going, I couldn't stop and my morning classes at The Fit In became the highlight of my day. Every class is unique and works on different aspects of fitness. Their Stretch & Release class is just what I need on a Sunday, while their Pilates Strong classes are fast paced, dynamic and FUN (Jessica is the best!!). One of my favorite classes here is Strong & Stronger. The classes I took with Dee and Ife did wonders for my mental and physical health and you can really tell everyone in this community cares deeply for the fitness culture these studios have curated. Class sizes are usually 6 people which is great for being able to move freely and ask for assistance. All equipment and studios are neat and clean. This package was well worth the price and I plan to return soon! If you can, try as many different classes as possible as each is truly different and you'll be able to find ones that really resonate with you. Thank you The Fit In!
