The vinyasa flow class I took today was a great experience. The instructor Sorinel did a great job helping us flow through the different poses. The room does get hot but not intolerable and the fan was turned on a couple times in the class. The yoga studio has mats and towels to rent as well as showers and lockers. You can buy water and beverages at the studio too but no water fountains. I would recommend anyone trying a class here !

Also it's woman and Black owned +++ If you're looking for a place to lean into wellness and build community, BYL offers new student passes and a range of memberships options.

Harlem Pilates is truly a best-in-class studio - easily one of the best in the city. As a long-time…read moreyoga and Pilates practitioner, I started coming here shortly after moving to Harlem, and it quickly became an essential part of my routine. The studio spaces are calming, everyone is super welcoming, the instruction is excellent, and the sense of community is everything. Special shoutout to Hydeia, whose classes I regularly attend--she's hands down one of the best instructors I've ever had. Her sequencing is truly flawless (and challenging!) & practicing with her is an absolute joy. Highly recommend - whether you're new or looking to grow in your practice/fitness journey.

I had a wonderful experience at the new Harlem Pilates studio at 56 West 117th Street. It was my…read morefirst class ever at Harlem Pilates , and the new location is beautiful and very clean. It was also my first time using a reformer and I was a bit nervous about the experience since I haven't worked out in years but, the instructor Skylar S was amazing. She took her time explaining the machine, was very attentive to everyone in the class and made the class enjoyable and fun. I purchased their new members deal that included 2 classes for $40 and can't wait to go back. Classes are small with about 8 reformers for each class which makes the experience intimate and not intimidating. There are lockers for you to place your things in and a nice bathroom for anyone who may need to change clothes before class.

The lockers in the back have keys attached so no need to bring your own lock. Looking forward to check out the rest of the schedule.

I started training at Shape Fitness for Women a few months ago and couldn't be happier with my…read moreexperience. My trainer, Paola, has been absolutely amazing from day one -- she's knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about helping her clients succeed. What stood out most to me was how comfortable and supported I felt during every session. Paola has this incredible way of pushing you just enough to challenge yourself, without ever making you feel overwhelmed or out of place. Each workout was different and thoughtfully planned, keeping things both fun and engaging. No two sessions were the same -- one day we'd focus on strength and toning, and the next, core stability or endurance. Beyond her expertise, Paola's warm personality really sets the tone. She's encouraging, professional, and always explains proper form so you know exactly what you're doing (and why). I've learned so much about fitness and confidence in my own body through her guidance. The gym itself is clean, welcoming, and designed with women's comfort in mind -- it feels like a safe, positive environment to focus on your goals.

A few of the classes/instructors are really great (Mimi and LG, for example), but I generally found it really distracting how MUCH all the instructors talk so much during the classes. It's really hard to focus/concentrate; that might be fine for some people but I had never encountered a yoga studio like that before. Finally, the studio space is not always that clean.

My surgeon sent me to an Acute Rehab facility in White Plains. I left after one day of "physical therapy" there.
