Pilates Trainers In NYC

Kimberly and Katherine Corp are the owners of Pilates on Fifth. They are also two of the best-known and most highly respected Pilates trainers in NYC. The Corp twins were featured on the cover of Club Business International in August of 2005. Club Business International is the industry magazine for the International Health, Racquet, and Sports Club Association, or IHRSA.

Katherine and Kimberly Corp began their professional lives as dancers and Radio City Rockettes. They used Pilates as a way to keep themselves strong and injury free while dancing professionally. They were passionate about Pilates and loved the aesthetics of this beautiful system of exercise. When Pilates is performed by dancers and experts, it is truly wonderful to watch.

Once the sisters began teaching Pilates, however, they discovered its true value: what Pilates could do for the average person. Seeing a 25-year-old dancer perform a perfect Pilates motion was one thing--seeing how the system could physically transform a hunched elderly woman or injury-prone, middle-aged man was another. When the Corp sisters saw how Pilates could transform lives, they were hooked.

They opened Pilates on Fifth in 2000. Since then, the sisters have also created CARDIOLATES®, one of the most exciting things to happen in Pilates since the system was created nearly 100 years ago. Kimberly and Katherine Corp are also co-founders of the Pink Ribbon Program, Inc., which brings Pilates to breast cancer survivors across America.
