This is my first experience with a pilates studio so I don't have much to which to compare. That said, so far the experience has been solid and I'd highly recommend this place for a beginner and/or someone who has to do the group classes because of expense level but also wants a personalized feeling.\r

Pros: small group class sizes, very knowledgeable teachers who seem to love teaching so you feel like you're working the right muscles in the right way instead of just working muscles, well timed evening classes, easy scheduling via web, intimate studio feeling, conveniently located to many subways.\r

Cons: a ton of different teachers (almost no teacher teaches a group class more than 1x a week) so as a beginner who can't afford individual sessions it makes learning more challenging because they all teach quite differently. In addition, while most of my instructors have been fabulous (highly recommend Amy although I'm sure I'll have more recommendations to come) I did have one that didn't seem to match the others, generally older clientele (in the beginner levels at least).
