Studio Uma

First of all, when you go to Studio Uma your 1st try-out session is free! so you can decide whether you like it or not without spending a penny! (but I think you'll like it) Pros: near to transportation, comfortable atmosfere, beautiful equipment more

This is a great workout for people who want to try something different and creative. The whole system of exercises is designed to improve your overall shape as well as work on specific muscle groups. The trainers know how the human body works (I think most of them were professonal dancers at some point of their lives) and are able to gently guide you throughout the session. The movements they teach have greatly improved my posture and flexibility. I feel 2 inches taller after every session. The equipment in the studio can be used for muscle toning or sculpting as well. It all becomes almost addictive after a few sessions. Best part is you can try it out for free. Pros: Convenient Midtown location, Creative, new exercise more

For starters, Studio Uma's new midtown digs mean no excuse to at least drop in for a quick workout during your lunch break! Then again, the workouts they whip up are so divine that you might want to set aside more than a lunch hour. Trained as a Pilates instructor and formerly a yoga devotee, I have found that working out on Peter Knue's beautifully handcrafted equipment is unparalleled in terms of the strength in flexibility I have gained. Peter works wonders with the fit and the fragile both and the rest of the staff couldn't be nicer to work with as well. My boss told me about this place and for that I am grateful. I believe that I am the fittest I have been in my entire life and not an inkling of pain went into getting there. All in all, good stuff! Pros: New space = more spacious and easily accessible by subways more
