Prime Pilates

Prime Pilates has been truly life-changing. After a year of classes, I've found an exercise routine that actually works — low impact, yet you feel it in every muscle that matters. From my very first class to now, I've enjoyed every session while growing noticeably stronger. The instructors are all amazing and so very supportive, as are the members. Thank you, Olta, for creating this gem of a place! This little treasure in Pelham (with a location in White Plains too) comes with my highest recommendation!

I recently tried out Prime Pailtes at their Pelham location. The studio is absolutely gorgeous, exactly what comes to mind when you think of the Pilates aesthetic. My class was led by Olta, she was patient and corrective and the class was challenging without being too difficult for a newbie.

This is an incredible studio… truly. I’ve felt a tremendous shift in how I feel physically and mentally since coming here consistently (I have the 2 class/week membership). All the teachers are great experts in Pilates and give very thoughtful sequences and personalized tips even in a group class. I always feel challenged in the class and break a nice sweat! Also the studio is very clean, which I find really affects my practice. From just the aesthetics of the space to the actual equipment - and everyone is required to wipe down their equipment at the end of class to ensure cleanliness - the space really enhances the experience! Highly recommend you try this studio and you’ll most likely be hooked like me :)

I’ve been to many studios before, but none compare to Prime Pilates! The space is beautifully decorated and has such a welcoming, uplifting vibe. The staff are incredibly kind and professional, and the classes are truly top-notch. I always leave feeling energized and ready to take on the day. All of the instructors are fantastic—they’re knowledgeable, supportive, and make every class enjoyable. I also love that there’s a wide range of classes available, from beginner-friendly sessions to more advanced and specialized ones. Plus, being open seven days a week makes it so easy to stick to a consistent routine. I love it here!

I was really disappointed with my experience at Prime Pilates. I booked the class through ClassPass, but when I arrived, the instructor did not have me in the system, even after I confirmed that I had signed up. She then told me it was a beginner class, which would have been fine, but the instruction itself felt very beginner as well. The teacher was nice, but the class lacked clear cueing, proper guidance, and instruction around what muscles should be engaged or what we should be feeling. As someone who has been training for over 15 years and has gone through Pilates teacher training, that felt concerning, especially in a beginner class where people are relying on the instructor to teach safe form and proper body awareness. The class felt more like the instructor was trying to follow a routine than actually teach. For true beginners, that can create a false sense of confidence without building the right foundation, which could lead to injury when they move into more advanced classes elsewhere. I was also told that if I wanted to continue booking through ClassPass, I would need to take two more of these beginner classes first, which honestly felt frustrating given the quality of the class. Overall, this was one of the most boring and inefficient Pilates classes I have taken. The instructor seemed kind, but the experience did not feel professional, safe, or worthwhile. I will not be returning.
