A Truly Inspiring Pilates Experience Authentic Pilates is everything its name suggests—and more. I’ve had the pleasure of practicing at both the Port Jefferson studio with Chrissy and the city location with Vivian, and I can say without hesitation that this is the finest Pilates instruction I’ve ever encountered. Having trained in classical Pilates at other studios, I deeply appreciate the exceptional level of knowledge, precision, and care that both Chrissy and Vivian bring to their teaching. They are true professionals—passionate, insightful, and deeply committed to honoring the integrity of the Pilates method. Both studios are fully outfitted with all the classical apparatus and beautifully maintained. The 2nd Avenue location in NYC is especially stunning, with expansive windows that flood the space with natural light and calming, neutral décor that instantly sets the tone for mindful movement. Authentic Pilates has genuinely reignited my love for the work. Vivian, Chrissy, and their team embody everything I believe Pilates should be—rooted in tradition, delivered with care, and designed to help each individual grow. Thank you for creating such a thoughtful and inspiring environment. I’m incredibly grateful to be part of this community and look forward to continuing my journey with you.

This studio is the absolute best. It’s such a refreshing amazing space to workout in. It feels like you could be anywhere in the world among big windows, trees and the city. A great experience. The people are also kind and genuine. The Pilates focus at this studio builds your body in the most effective way. I recovered from injury and built a deep strength that has given me a foundation to launch from. With all the pilates studios opening, it is hard to know what quality of Pilates you may get, but impressed and can say here you will get the genuine experience.

Authentic Pilates NYC is for everyone. Thank you Vivian for helping me explore and address my chronic issues with stiffness and pain. As a person with a movement disorder, I was so intimidated at the thought of Pilates, but you and your instructors were so inviting, kind, and knowledgeable. Feeling stronger and moving better every day. Your online recorded and live classes are fantastic too!
