I've been going to Simple Form Pilates for a year, and I can honestly say I've never felt stronger,…read moremoved better, or felt more confident in my body. I struggled with mobility issues in my right leg and spent three years in physical therapy. When my rheumatologist suggested Pilates, I only wish I'd found it sooner! I drive 20-25 minutes each way, two to three times a week, because it's absolutely worth it. And honestly, how many gym memberships have we all signed up for with the best intentions, only to stop going? The self-discipline it takes to keep showing up can be the hardest part. What makes Simple Form different is the small-group classes. You get personal attention, but you also find your people. You meet others who are working toward their own goals, encourage one another, share a few laughs, and grow stronger together. It becomes something you genuinely look forward to, not another obligation on your calendar. For me, Pilates has been about so much more than exercise. It's about feeling good in my body, improving my mobility, building strength, and gaining confidence. A year later, I'm stronger in ways I never expected, and I'm so glad I made the commitment to myself. With phenomenal instruction and thoughtful, specific cues, I've learned how to engage muscles, find strength, and move in ways I never thought possible. It's not just about doing the exercises; it's about learning to understand your body and trust what it can do. Simple Form Pilates has made a tremendous difference in my life. It has reminded me that progress is possible, that our bodies can surprise us, and that we're capable of more than we sometimes believe. I'm already working toward my next birthday goal: a handstand! I'm so grateful I found this studio, and I only wish I'd found it sooner.

It amazes me that I can arrive with a stiff back, or tight shoulder, and leave touching my toes with no pain. I highly recommend if you are feeling stiff due to aging or orthopedic aches. I never thought I could be this flexible and strong. I see Katherine and there are other instructors, including her Mother who teach multiple different private and group classes. I am over 60 with a history of bad knees and other repaired body parts.

I have been a member of the RAC since it opened. I utilize all areas of the gym, the pool, the…read morefree weights, the classes, and the locker rooms - all are well-maintained, modern, and (most importantly) CLEAN! The front desk staff are always friendly and willing to answer questions. When they aren't busy with desk responsibilities, they take the time to wipe down the equipment and tidy up. Locker rooms are always spotless...and they stand far above traditional gym locker rooms in their quality, aesthetics, and amenities (and I've seen my share of gym locker rooms!). Showers, restrooms, and floors are ALWAYS clean. The classes are run by instructors who are engaging and passionate. The atmosphere is one in which women can feel comfortable working out among men, this quality in a gym is not the case in many of the other gyms in the area. While it is a little more expensive than some other area gyms, the benefits make it more than worth the cost. And, finally, on the RARE occasion when there has been an issue with billing or equipment that was on the fritz, Kristina and Laura have always been responsive, willing to listen, and helpful.

The staff were all friendly and helpful, the facility very clean! I didn't feel out of place (as is sometimes the case when traveling and the locals stare or make me uncomfortable). The equipment I used was all in great condition, newer very nice machines! Overall, exceptional experience here at the Riverwalk! Would absolutely recommend and will return in the future when in the area.

The gym is clean, and the people I saw when i was working out would all clean off the equipment after they used it. The bathroom was clean, and so was the locker room. Loved the ice machine next to the water fountain. Brand new equipment with everything you need to lift. Multiple squat racks and a dedicated pad for deadlifts and other barbell work. amazing. Met the owner and had a chance to speak with and get to know him on a more personal level. Really nice guy. Glad to know he's a local in NYC as I will be reaching out to say hi to him. For a smaller and newer gym you have to expect there may be a few kinks to work out. Consider that there are times when staff is not present, so perhaps other patrons of the gym may not be paying attention to their own cleaning habits to the same standard that you do.

I recommend cleaning your spot before and after as a large portion of regulars don't clean their equipment after use and staff doesn't arrive until later in the day so cleaning supplies is not always stocked. 3/5 overall.

The upstairs party area is a great setup that is open to the rest of the gym so you can keep an eye on all the action. One of the best parts of the party was the two birthday party specialists. I didn't get their names, but they were absolutely fantastic with the kids. They gave clear instructions, were incredibly patient, and encouraged every climber as they made their way to the top. Everyone had a great time, highly recommend!!

Finally, a climbing gym in Binghamton! No more do we have to drive an hour plus for indoor…read moreclimbing. As far as the climbing goes, they have that down. Lots of variety (bouldering, top rope, and lead), easy certification process, and good options for a solo climber (e.g., plenty of autobelays). They also have a great shop for gear, more comprehensive than most other climbing gyms I've been to in the region. So you can get everything you need right here. As far as other amenities, they have a chill area with plenty of seating that includes a water dispenser, coffee machine, microwave, and mini fridge. They do have bathrooms and showers but they don't have a full locker room situation. They only have cubbies near the climbing walls. As far as gym equipment, they do have some, and it might be enough for what you're looking for. But they don't have a full gym's worth of equipment. So before you abandon your regular gym membership, consider taking at look at the equipment they have available and determine if that's adequate for your training. They just opened earlier in January and are still setting up. So things like climbing instruction or yoga classes aren't available yet for the foreseeable future, especially because they are still in the process of hiring all of those staff. So it should be coming soon (?), but it's unclear when. They will also have recreational leagues for children and adults but, again, not yet available. The gym is off to a good start and honestly, I'm glad they're finally open even if not all the peripheral amenities are fully ready to go just yet. If you want to climb, you can definitely do that here right now, and that's huge for this area. Just wanted to share this review and be transparent about what is actually available right now (and I can update later on when full amenities are available). Happy climbing!

I went to this yoga studio pre-COVID on a new member plan, which had reduced priced classes for the…read morefirst month. Overall, I liked the studio and found the class times to be convenient for my schedule. The instructors were great about showing modifications, both easier and more challenging, which I found productive to my own progress. Instructors were really great about answering questions after class (e.g., pigeon pose always cuts off my leg circulation for some reason, despite being hyperflexible, and they helped me find an alternative). I really wanted to love this place, but the main reason I did not go back is because most of their classes are hot yoga, which I really don't like. Personally, the heat does nothing for me besides drench my clothes ~completely~ in sweat (required a towel on my fabric car seats!) and, frankly, has no science to prove any benefits anyway. Plus, in addition to being annoying, it is also a hazard. I tried a lot of things to make the experience less slippery on my mat and nothing seemed to work. I just didn't think it was worth the struggle of trying not to slip and fall in basic poses, which I would not have to waste my time thinking about (and ultimately distracting me from the meditative experience) in a normal class. I also took an aerial yoga class, which was fun to try, but I personally found it pretty uncomfortable (cutting off circulation, digging into my legs despite being pretty thin figured). Just wasn't for me. If you don't mind hot yoga, you'll probably love this place. But if you do, you should choose a different studio (which is honestly hard to find in this area, as many places are hot yoga only).
