1. Project Pilates — Reformer Tower Chair

Project Pilates in Jersey City has built an almost fanatical following, with members praising the studio’s hands-on, form-focused teaching style. The small-format classes mean instructors catch every detail, and reviewers say the difference shows in their results.

3. Mind Your Body — Advanced Beginner Tower/Mat

Tucked away on the Upper East Side, Mind Your Body offers an intimate, personalized Pilates experience that reviewers describe as transformative. With just six reformers per class, the studio delivers the kind of individual attention that larger studios simply can’t match.

“Small studio with only six reformers, and with three people in my class, it was a truly personalized experience. The instructor paid attention to each of us individually — that just doesn’t happen in bigger classes.”

“The instructor made me feel so welcomed. This has been my favorite class ever. We were laughing, made connections, and felt our bodies get stronger with each move.”
