LAB Pilates New York

I can't say better things about LAB and Summer, the founder and woman behind it all. I've been going to this studio for four years and it has changed my life. Prior to discovering LAB, I was in out and out countless PT offices with no results and ongoing back pain. LAB's approach is deeply knowledgable about Pilates and committed to the needs and condition of every client. It feels like a true 1:1 relationship in a way that few things do these days.

Natalie is absolutely amazing. She is incredibly well trained, attentive and knowledgeable about conditions that affect people daily. I have consistently experienced less discomfort since starting my session with Natalie. I am stronger and more aware of my body and positioning. I always leave feeling SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!

I love Lab! I was super nervous to start Pilates. Summer is not only a great and warm person, but a very talented and observant Pilates guru. I am injury prone and Summer did a head to toe assessment, identified areas of weakness and asymmetries. I have recently started doing sessions with Ginny, who is also an amazing observant instructor, and a great person. Every session is tailored to the individual and they play close attention to your body and limits throughout. Lab pilates has changed my life- I feel stronger than ever and no longer have back pain. They recently had a retreat which was an amazing experience; it was essentially a wellness retreat (with amazing healthy food) and a boot camp in one. It was reset I needed- I can’t wait for next year. All around grateful!

I started my Pilates journey by taking private lessons at Lab Pilates last summer, and it was magical. I love how the studio is very private, which contrasts with many other busy studios in the city where, as a private client, I feel like I can't focus. The instructors are incredibly willing to work with their clients and are considerate of their injuries (the greenest flag is that my instructor actually started having sessions with me by assessing my body and asking what injuries I had. I had several horrible experiences before when I went into a studio, and the instructor put me straight on the reformer without asking me anything. I am very grateful this is not the case at Lab.) I recently found out I have scoliosis, so I am thinking about returning to Lab once I settle in the city because of their expert knowledge on how to work with spine injury...

I can't recommend LAB Pilates enough! Summer is an absolute gem. With extensive experience in classical Pilates, Summer has the unique ability to tailor her approach to each student's needs. She's a patient and compassionate teacher that can make even the most challenging exercises feel achievable. The studio is fully equipped with classical Pilates apparatus to ensure that every workout is thorough and effective. LAB Pilates is the place to go!
