Pilates In NYC

Pilates is a renowned system of exercise that looks beautiful when performed correctly. Pilates enthusiasts who also happen to be professional dancers can make Pilates look as elegant as a ballet. While Pilates on Fifth owners Katherine and Kimberly Corp appreciate this very aesthetic side of Pilates, they are actually more interested in what Pilates can do in the real world.

The Corp sisters and their team of 30-plus instructors use Pilates, GYROTONIC®, and CARDIOLATES® to help their clientele achieve real-world goals. While many of our clients here at Pilates on Fifth are dancers interested in improving their technique, the vast majority of our clients are professionals who turn to Pilates for less esoteric reasons.

Our clientele is very diverse, and our clients' goals reflect this diversity. Some of our clients are professional men who want Pilates to help them improve their golf games. Some are elderly men or women who want to be able to play with their grandchildren or lift them up in their arms without lower back pain. Some of our clients are new moms who want to lose their pregnancy weight or professional women who want to alleviate chronic stress and neck/shoulder pain.

What is the best way to achieve your goals using Pilates techniques? First, speak with your Pilates on Fifth instructor about your goals. The more specific you are, the more helpful they can be. Second, be sure to take Pilates privates in addition to Pilates mat classes. Many people who are new to Pilates assume that mat classes are the most important part of the exercise system, when in fact the Pilates equipment is the real heart of Pilates.
