Uptown Pilates On Madison

Check out the Tower/Mat Classes! I love the intimate setting and how you receive individual attention. The classes have a limit of 5 people so definitely sign up in advance. Everyone seems to feed off each other and since the instruction is top notch you really have a great workout. It just feels good! more

I have always worked out- a lot of weight lifting and running at the gym. I was looking to start Pilates to increase my flexibility and develop more core strength. I was looking for a studio with positive, knowledgable instructors who could help me to achieve my goals. Uptown Pilates was just that and more! I have never been more satisfied with a studio overall. All the instructors I have worked with have made an amazing impression on me, providing me with a whole new perspective about my body. After 5 sessions I felt so accomplished and developed a hunger for more! I am completely addicted to Uptown Pilates. more

I was worried about starting Pilates sessions... I thought it would be all women! I was very relieved when I arrived at my session and saw other men working out. I have really enjoyed getting a tighter stomach and gaining more overall stability. The teachers can always tell exactly what you need to work on any given day, and are very knowledgeable about anatomy and the classic Pilates method. I love the feeling you get when you walk into the studio as well... Its such a warm environment and nothing like the cold gyms I used to go to! more

My foremost reaction on encountering the studio's serene, light and airy ambience for the first time was;' how does one perspire here'? And then; 'I would be embarrassed to perspire here'. That was almost two years ago. Since then, the excelllent, excellent people at Uptown Pilates have turned a sedentary, flighty person like myself into someone who will come to exercise at least twice a week. I am a zealous convert to both, pilates as an exercise regimen, and Uptown Pilates as the best venue; with its group of dedicated, professional and charming instructors. And yes one does perspire; profusely. But its fun. more

Especially for the demanding Upper East Side clientele! more

I have been taking private sessions regularly throughout the summer and my body has never felt better! I have had to bounce around between different instructors because of my hectic schedule and they all have something new and challenging to offer me. It is such a nice, calm working environment and it is such a nice escape after a long day at work. It helps me focus and eases my stress, not to mention how amazing my body looks now. more

I've been training as a martial artist for 7 years and, for the last few months, I've incorporated Pilates into my workout regime. What a difference! Because Pilates focuses on core strength, it's made me a lot stronger and enhanced everything I do in martial arts -- my form has never been better. I won't go anywhere else but Uptown Pilates on Madison as it was highly recommended by so many of my friends and for good reason. The instructors are professional, the studio is clean and welcoming, and I love that it's a block away from Central Park. I often follow my sessions with a nice stroll through the park. Thank you Uptown Pilates on Madison! more

I've taken a couple classes and a private session at Uptown Pilates and I can honestly say that it was a lot more challenging than I thought it would be, but also with instant results. It feels like I've already grown taller. Ok, I know, I'm just standing up straighter thanks to my newfound posture. I am so excited to participate in their 30 Day Challenge (30 consecutive days!) which I know is going to domino effect into my eating and sleeping habits as well. Plus, their studio is clean, calming, welcoming, which is a nice break from my on-the-go crazy New York City life. 30 days...here we go!! more

I was really wary of exercise until I came to this studio. It's private and quiet and so beneficial for my body. I don't have to worry about getting fit and hurting myself...I only see physical improvements, and doesn't have that gym feel that I see other pilates studios have. It's great! more

I can't believe I found a place my husband and I both like to work out! This place is amazing. We try different instructors to get the most out of this top-notch studios and plan on coming for years to come to stay in shape! more

I love this place, they helped me so patiently through a running-related injury and my instructor really believed in my success and knew my body so well. I feel like they really care. more

Pilates has helped a lot of long-standing ailments I have had after I was in a car accident. I've tried other PIlates studios and the ambience or instructors really don't compare. I love this place. more

I walked by one day and decided to try Pilates, and now I'm totally hooked. The atmosphere is pleasant, quiet and spacious. The front desk girls are extremely helpful and friendly, and the instructors are so versatile. I have one I love and go back to, but if she's ever out of town, I am just pleased that the training quality is so high.. it's wonderful to have a place like this to work out. more

Going to Uptown Pilates is the only reason I go outside in this winter weather! I always get so sad when it's dark and cold out but when I head to Uptown PIlates I feel so much better. It will definitely change my New York winter woes. more

at last a place a lazy persom like me loves to go to more

Uptown Pilates on Madison is the perfect place to go on the UES for Pilates! It's location if amazing, the studio is beautiful, the instructors are the best you can get. Book an appointment and you won't regret it!! more

I absolutely love the privates at this studio, the room and apparatus' were clean and relaxing and I thought my instructor was fantastic. Being a newbie to the reformer, she explained all the moves in detail and was encouraging to keep trying even when it got tough. Pros: great studio! more

I have been an avid UP client for the past two years now. They just opened a studio in Sag Harbor (their third one) and I am thrilled. Now I can keep up my Pilates routine during the summertime and I know that the quality of instruction will be very high. I trust everything UP does and highly recommend it to everyone! Pros: friendly, professional, luxury, clean! more

Uptown Pilates has whipped me into shape! ... But whipped in a pleasant way. I've never been one for crazy boot camp-style workouts, but for the longest time, I thought that was the only way to get in shape. When I started complaining to a friend of mine that all of my high-impact workouts were starting to take a toll on my knees, she dragged me to Uptown Pilates on Madison. I rolled my eyes and went along with it. But I was thinking, ""Really? Pilates?? Is that really a workout?"" Answer: YES. IT IS. After my first session, I knew that this place was something special. It definitely worked my muscles. I certainly felt taller and less compressed. And my knees felt so much better! After just a few sessions, the discomfort in my knees went away completely. Also, my muscles have changed. I was in decent shape to begin with, but working with the instructors here has actually changed my muscles, and now they're longer and leaner. I'm pretty sure I weigh the same as when I started, and yet clothes fit differently. I'll never go back to what I was doing. By the way, I give them bonus points for having such a great and inviting space, and incredibly nice staff. Pros: Challenging workouts, great instructors, pretty studio! Cons: ? more

I just can't get enough of Uptown PIlates! I just love the welcoming, friendly, and professional atmosphere that the studio gives off. I love looking forward to working out instead of dreading at all day long. After I have a private session i feel invigorated and ready to take on the day! It's amazing how much energy it gives me, both physically and mentally. Pros: So many! The studio, the instructors, the location Cons: None that I can think of more
