Editorial Review for Pilates on Fifth – by Drew Pisarra
The Scene
Katherine and Kimberly Corp pooled their combined savings from shared stints on the Radio City kick line to found this site for the teaching of Pilates. The dancers' dual endeavor incorporates developments in biomechanics--an advancement you'll see with equipment that's markedly sleeker, safer and less akin to mini-torture chambers.
The Workout
Although the staff is eager to devise an exercise routine for groups of up to five, more than 60 percent of customers opt for one-on-one instruction. The use of props--especially foam blocks, therabands and a halved physioball called a bosus--is key to retraining muscles in terms of range of motion and flexibility. Similar to the old-school ways, however, you'll be continually reminded to pay attention to posture, pelvic placement and abdominal contraction.

The ambiance is amazing and the teaching very professional. The owner is well known in the industry having written the seminal books about Pilates. She is also well versed in body mechanics and was instructed as a physical therapist.

A great relaxed atmosphere with professional teachers and adults. You can absolutely get desired results in your body. Excellent teachers some of the ones I have worked with include: Matt and Abbey. I also got turned on to gyrotonics in this studio which is hard but fun. I would highly recommend it.
