My fav instructors are JieYan and Celia :) When I'm in JieYan's classes i feel confident and whenever anyone needs any adjustments she's quick to correct so you're never confused on what's good form. Her advanced classes are insane but honestly they're the best pilates classes I've taken. Celia is quite adaptable to the folks that take her class. If there are more folks that are beginners then her classes are slower and lighter for the benefit of the class but when there's a bit more experience around the room her classes can get pretty challenging and fun. Either way I'm breaking a sweat and really focusing on my muscle mind connection with her. They're both so wonderful and have really made me feel so much stronger in just a month. Can't wait to go back

She took the time to ensure I was doing all the exercises the proper way, and checked in frequently to adjust the settings to make sure that the workout was challenging but also doable. The reformer machines here are brand new, and the facility itself is so bright and clean. My workout was hard but also effective, and I was definitely feeling it the next day! If you're new to reformer Pilates, this studio is a great place to start and learn the basics. I will definitely be back to take this class again.

Previously before 2020, I practiced in their LIC establishment when they were open. Their Astoria studio is very close to public transportation so it is convenient for those who use the Queens buses or M/R trains. I choose this particular yoga studio based on their hot yoga classes and highly recommend any and all classes and teachers. There are a variety of times to choose from, so I found time most of the week to take a class and get used to the flow. Besides the helpful and friendly staff, I find that their amenities are excellent if I accidentally don't bring certain things such as towels or even a yoga mat. The ambience of the studio is very calming for those who need tranquility. Membership is highly recommended over individual classes. Accepts cash and card. Mind Body and Class Pass users as well as drop ins. Bathrooms, shower and unisex locker rooms available. Open decently late. Classes everyday. Clean and safe.

My boyfriend and I tried the 3-week unlimited new student special at both locations. The spaces are…read moreclean, and the community is incredibly welcoming. The classes aren't overcrowded, and the teachers are great. We loved the variety--Hot Vinyasa is a super intense workout, standard Vinyasa brings total calmness, and Vinyasa Flow is the perfect middle ground. We dropped it to 4 stars due to the pricing and schedule. A $20 drop-in fee and monthly memberships are way too high for Queens--they're closer to Manhattan prices. Also, working until 6 PM leaves me rushing only to hot yoga. We'd love to see more variety in the later weekday schedule!

I took a pilates class a couple weeks before our vacation so I thought I was ready. Think of this class as a more intense pilates. Our coach, Vanessa, was super sweet!

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 instructor didn't demonstrate any of the moves, just verbally described everything she wanted us to be doing which is confusing for people who are new to reformer Pilates like me. The intro class was only 30-minutes - it started late and the instructor spent most of the class correcting only one person who was the most verbal about being confused -- when we all were looking around at one another trying to figure out what we should be doing. At the end of class the staff came in to talk about package options for classes - all of them seemed to require a commitment beyond just a month.

I'd done a few solidcore classes before the LIC studio opened, so I was ecstatic when this location…read moreopened last year in such a convenient location and have been going ever since. This location is pretty comparable to other solidcore studios in the city, and actually has a relatively spacious classroom with more reformers than usual. The studio and equipment are always clean and well-maintained. Regarding the workout itself, it's definitely the most challenging, intense workout I've ever done and IMO not suitable for complete beginners just starting out in their fitness journey. I genuinely do believe you have to be somewhat of a masochist in order to enjoy and thrive in solidcore. But it IS effective -- since I started taking class regularly in the past year, my core strength has increased dramatically and noticeably improved my performance in my other workouts. The only drawback is that modifications are rarely given, and in a full class instructors may not have the bandwidth to give everyone individualized attention and correct everyone's form.

Customer service is fabulous as well, they packed everything with such care that it made it all the way from New York to the Yukon in Northern Canada with no problems. I highly recommend them!

I can't say enough good things about Pilates Designs By Basil and the people who work there…read more First let me start with the obvious: There is no better quality of pilates equipment out there. Nothing will last longer, look more beautiful or be as secure. You will never have to worry about the safety or quality of your equipment if you own Basil apparatus. Second, in case I need to school you, Basil is a legend. He worked at Gratz for years before starting his own company and has seen hundreds of pilates instructors in his time. He knows what we need. He knows what will last. He knows the history, the future, and most importantly, how to give you what you need today. Every piece is made by hand in Long Island City, NY- and you can tell. My entire studio is outfitted in Basil's equipment, and even people who know nothing about pilates will walk in and immediately mention how beautiful the craftsmanship of the apparatus is. Which brings me to the other half of the team, Panos and Sylvia Adamopoulos. The two owned Universal Designs, Inc, a high end custom furniture design and manufacturing company, before teaming up with Basil. When I was looking to outfit my studio, I wanted to be hands on with every aspect of the process. It was the most expensive aspect of starting my studio and I wanted to be sure I was making the right decisions. Basil, Sylvia, and Panos warmly invited me to the factory where I got to see every step of the manufacturing process. (For all you pilates classicists, let me remind you that Gratz will NEVER let you step foot in their factory today, let alone hold your hand through your decision making process) On my trip to the factory, I met the hard working people who make these beautiful machines and got to watch them in action! I was able to customize plenty of aspects of the apparatus as Basil himself explained to me why I may want one option but not another. I had already been teaching pilates for 8 years before this experience and let me tell you- I've never learned so much in one day than I did the day I visited. After my visit, I was in close contact with Sylvia throughout the purchasing process. I must have asked her for a dozen quotes for all sorts of scenarios! She patiently and clearly walked me through every combination until I made my choices. And when the guys delivered my equipment, they put everything together in minutes and did not leave until they knew I was satisfied. Here I am, three years later, and my apparatus is still beautiful. Everything is exactly as it was the day I opened. And anytime I have thought something was wrong, I have spoken to Basil himself to fix it. Once he even came to my studio to show me how easy the problem was to solve :) . I would never ask him to come out to me again, but this is what I mean when I say these are the most caring, quality assuring manufacturers in the industry.

If you've ever wanted to try pilates equipment classes, but were afraid to ask - PilatesWorks is…read morethe place for you! I started taking pilates 7 years ago (the first incarnation of PilatesWorks was actually at the Yoga Room LIC location then moving to the original Workout Factory before getting their own dedicated studio). I love the way it makes me feel - strong, flexible and positive. I try to come at least once a week to get my fix. The studio is conveniently located on Jackson Ave - right across from the foot of the Pulaski Bridge. It's a beautiful space that gets a lot of light and is also spotless. The machines are well kept and they have all the props a pilates lover needs. There are many classes - classic reformer, tower and jumpboard classes as well as combo classes - offered throughout the day, each week. I love the schedule as there are early morning, mid-day and evening classes - so it's impossible to make an excuse to not get your pilates on! And probably the best thing about PilatesWorks and what brings a lot of clients back - the teachers. Daniel G. is fantastic, challenging and hilarious. Christina is also awesome - and I love her playlists. Every teacher that I have encountered have been very well versed in pilates and really focus on form and the comfort level of their students. So look no further - this studio has got it all. To quote the amazing PilatesWorks t-shirts - "Do Pilates. It Works!"
