I took my first ever Pilates class last year at Ave A, and Ive been hooked ever since. The small class sizes mean you get lots of instructor attention and corrections, so you can make the most of your workout time. I love how sunny the studio is. I will keep coming back!
I started my pilates journey with the hope to rehabilitate my back, neck and knees after a car accident that left me in constant discomfort and pain after minimal activity. When I discovered that Avea offered private classes and even has instructors who were physiotherapists I gave it a shot. That was about 6 weeks ago and I feel amazing. There is a significant difference in my strength, mobility and pain levels. The studio space is gorgeous, clean, modern machines, a great vibe with proffecional, warm people who share my mission.Please note this is not a rehabilitation studio but as per the “rumors” it’s true Pilates is healing inside and out.
I’ve been practicing Pilates for just a few months at Avea, and am so happy w/ the results. I’m so much stronger and leaner, and simply feel great! The instructors are excellent, the classes are fun and the Avea East & West Village studios are beautiful. Many classes offered daily so super convenient too.
Bright, sunny, clean pilates studio with a view of the park. Very welcoming to beginners. Its the only studio I go to after trying several throughout the city. Carrie is my favorite instructor. She creates such a positive atmosphere and gives great instruction and adjustments. Highly recommend!!
The class sizes are small so the instructor is able to follow closely with your exercises and make sure you’re doing them correctly. It’s a very inviting and friendly atmosphere with lots of sunlight which is relaxing. I’m not very experienced with reformer Pilates but the exercises weren’t too difficult but still could feel my body working and was sore the next day
Ave A Pilates is my favorite studio in NYC! I’ve tried multiple others through ClassPass then cancelled and decided to only buy a 20 pack through Ave A because it was so much better than all the rest. It is intimate, all the instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful, and the studio is beautiful and clean. I look forward to every class I take there and I would highly recommend this studio to any pilates beginner or veteran!
I am obsessed with this Pilates studio. To the point where I almost don’t want to leave a review or tell anyone about it bc I feel like it’s the best kept secret of Pilates classes in NYC. All the instructors are great, but my absolute favorite is Sabrina! She is amazing and is super open to incorporating specific things into class if you ask (i.e extra abs, leg focused, etc).
I love taking classes at Ave A Pilates. The space is clean and bright, and the classes are a good challenge each time. I really like that the instructors ask what youd like to focus on for the class and modify the exercises accordingly. You can really make it your own if you want to.
Ave A Pilates is great! The teachers are personable and brilliant. The classes are well structured and I always leave feeling good. The machines are modern and the studio is bright. It’s always a positive experience!
Carrie is amazing. Her class is challenging & she keeps it fun with exciting new variations and her glowing personality. Love love love Ave A Pilates every time I go – and always sore in the right places the next day!
Am grateful for this lovely East Village pilates reformer studio right around the corner! Carrie and Dana are amazing and talented teachers, and have a perfect, balanced sequence for the 45 minute express class (my favorite). Am looking forward to trying the other teachers too now that the schedule has expanded. Highly recommend this studio!
Modern and clean pilates studio with my favorite equipment - the Balanced Body machines! All teachers are great and create classes that build on one another. Dont be afraid to say what youd like to concentrate on in class because they are happy to tailor. Would love if they created some more advanced classes to mix things up for people who have done a lot of pilates and want to try something a bit harder :)
Awesome reformer pilates studio in East Village! The instructors make the classes very personal, making it feel like a private session every time. They always ask if theres something specific youd like to focus on during the class. Would definitely recommend for both pilates newcomers and seasoned vets
Avea is amazing! Love working with chandler she is the absolute best. I’m sore for days after (which is what I want) worth every penny and wouldn’t go anywhere else
Pretentious/snobby/rude instructor!!! Her name is Liron N I thinkYeah, she wont let you in if you are 5 late. She would just let you wait in front of the door without even telling you what to do (its my first time)After 15 minutes I would have to kindly ask her what to do, then she would ask me to call the studio due to the late policy that you cant find anywhere. You then would have to call the studio only to speak to the answer machine :)She also just walked around the studio and did not offer any adjustment to her students during my 15 waiting. Gosh why would we pay for some girl to treat us like we are worth nothing?Apparently someone else on Classpass said the same thing about the instructor, I should have read their comments before wasting my money here!There are thousands of studios in NYC, I only booked your studio because I wanted to go with my friend who lives nearby. Will be interesting to see how long it will take you to go out of business with this kind of customer service.
The instructors care a lot about the students experience during class. The studio is clean and has nice views of the park! Challenging class but full of adjustments if needed! Definitely recommend
Madeline is an exceptional instructor.Entirely focused on the class, thoroughly describes each exercise with explicit instruction outlining where the moves originate and what muscles to engage. I cannot recommend her class highly enough!
This studio is great, I like that its light filled and small so there are not a ton of people in the class. Its clean , the instructors are nice and helpful. I really like these machines as well!
Excellent class! Hannah was very hands on with an attention to detail, making it feel like a private. The space is gorgeous and equipment state of the art. Definitely making this my new Saturday morning routine!
Would really give it a 3.5- nice small studio, clean and intimate setting so you can tell the instructor what you want to focus on. Was disappointed w my instructor though, she seemed lack-luster and didn’t get up and move around much.
Amazing and challenging Pilates! Carrie is especially attentive and helpful. Definitely recommend for advanced or beginner levels!
Absolutely love this studio, especially after the renovations. Beautiful, airy space, and challenging classes that fly by. Particularly love classes by Sabrina!
I love taking class at this studio. Ive had nearly all the teachers and each bring something fun and different to the routine of class so its always changing up. Im so glad its in the neighborhood!
Ave A Pilates is the best studio in NYC!Dana is an incredible teacher! Her class is a MUST!
The small class size was great and allowed for personal attention from the instructor. The class was a great core workout and one of the best Ive taken in the city!
Love Avea Pilates! Great location overlooking Tompkins Sq Park and instructors are creative with the pilates workout.
Very good. The instructors are great and the studio is lovely. I highly recommend Ave A Pilates
Love this studio! Every class I get to experience a completely different stretch. Tons of variety. The teachers are excellent.
I love Avea Pilates! Very chill vibe and great atmosphere. Not pretentious and always a good workout!
Great class, great instructor (Carrie) and love that there is lots of daylight flowing through the studio
It was my first class ever, and the instructor was super sweet and helpful! I didn’t even have to mention I’d never used a machine before
Fantastic place. Fantastic instructors. I highly recommend.I dont feel myself if I dont go at least once a week!
Love this studio! Great instructors, new equipment and awesome classes. Highly recommended!
Light-filled space in the East Village - love that it overlooks the park! Instructors are as welcoming as they are knowledgeable.
Not a real pilates studio u will get hurt.
Love them! The view is great! Instructors are great.
Carrie is the best! She leads such a great workout!
Great studio and wonderful instructors!
Great class, spacious and clean as well
Fantastic studio
I love. I discovered this studio through ClassPass and despite trying other studios in Madrid and NY, this is my favorite, so I decided to buy the 20 class pass.The place has very nice views, everything is clean and cozy. I like the Pilates machine they use, the techniques and the teachers.

2022-05-04I’ve been a client at Avea for almost a year. I am impressed with every aspect of Avea. All three studios are beautiful, and each instructor takes the time to get to know the individual student. As a result, the instructors help nurture your growth and remember what you’re working on and/or any injuries you have from class to class. One of my favorite instructors is Cassie, who pushes each student to reach their full potential, without asking anyone to do anything that makes them feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Erica L is incredibly gentle yet tough, and provides a real mental escape during the class. Alaina is another tough instructor but one who brings a lot of mindfulness and a beautiful energy to her classes. Overall, every instructor has a unique and special teaching style. The other class attendees bring a positive, warm energy and friendly attitude. Carrie (the owner) has cultivated a beautiful, welcoming space. It is a very non-judgmental environment. As a woman in her early 50s, I have felt so supported and encouraged and the instructors at Avea have helped me already lose 25 lbs. in preparation for my wedding!

2021-10-03This is a bright and clean place with professional instructors, also my favorite Pilates studio in the city. Their reservation system is easy to use, with time slot options from 6:30am to 7:30pm which is perfect for me to do some exercise before or after work. Every instructor I met here is nice and knowledgeable, after 10 lessons I feel my flexibility and strength have been improved! Ill definitely recommend Avea to my friends.

2021-12-15This is an amazing pilates studio. If you are new to pilates or very experienced I totally recommend Avea. The teachers are terrific: knowledgeable, engaging and fun.

2021-07-15This is my confession - I hate to exercise, but know I need to. Thus, I am extremely thankful for and cannot write enough nice things about Avea Pilates. All their pilates class and teachers are fun - which keeps me going back. Also the teachers are excellent and the studio is super clean with great machines. If you are thinking about starting Pilates or are looking to continue your Pilates practice this is the studio to go to.

2021-07-19Beautiful, clean, studio. Excellent and knowledgable instructors who offered personalized feedback and modifications for each of us, making it feel like a private lesson in a group class experience. I have been looking for a good pilates studio and I have now found it. One of the instructors, Carrie, went out of her way on her day off to find me and return my apple watch that I had left at the studio! Really amazing customer service combined with a great workout experience! I am looking forward to seeing the new space on 34th St as well

2017-12-01Ave A is my absolute favorite Pilates studio. Carrie is a phenomenal instructor- she is so knowledgeable and always asks what each student wants to focus on at the beginning of class. Since there are only 5 reformer machines, it feels very intimate like a private class and you get proper adjustments throughout which is amazing. The studio is so pretty, great light and a view of the park. I’d highly recommend anyone to try Ave A Pilates from beginners to advanced.

2022-09-05Got there 6 minutes late and they didn’t even open the door and kept hanging up when i rang themwhen i finally got in they said because i was later than 5 minutes i cannot come in. i know there are policies but this is ridiculous. She was so rude about it too.

2017-12-01I recently moved to the East Village and have been trying all pilates studios within up to 20 minutes walking distance to find the best studio. If you want to skip all this work, you can go straight to Ave A Pilates, because they are the best! They have the newest equipment, the studio is very clean and bright, I love the big windows and most importantly the instructors are amazing. The instructors know what they are doing. They are very attentive to form, the instructions are super clear, they are very friendly - and I can feel that I am getting stronger after every class. If you want to spend two months going to a different studio every time, do that, but I can tell you that you will end up in Ave A!

2018-04-16Ave A Pilates has become my go to Studio over the last year. They are constantly expanding and offer great instructors who give you a great workout. It’s a small boutique studio but it’s the perfect vibe for getting personal instruction. They offer express classes which are great if you are sneaking in a workout during the workday. Carrie, the owner, runs an awesome studio. They constantly offer discounts on packages which make it affordable to be a returning client. Be sure to give it a try!!
