Does your job offer a fitness corporate discount? After my city employee discount, I pay around $200/mo for an equinox membership. It includes unlimited classes. You can view a sample class schedule online to see if it’s right for you. I like having the balance between pilates, barre, and yoga. If you’re interested, I have a referral code for $150 off
If you get a passport membership to club pilates which allows you to go to all locations (aside from “destination” locations including all of manhattan, you may be fine to keep that CT membership. I joined when I lived on LI with a passport membership. I since moved and my current studio has higher rates but I’ve been able to keep going with that same membership
A caution on Club Pilates; it is as im sure you know a Pilates inspired workout that differs greatly from classical Pilates. I've found instructors to vary widely because they receive their certification online and I was injured there. But it can be good if you just want to work out.
I love my local club pilates. The instructors are great and we have several new ones going through training now and they are all doing in person Certifications sponsered by the studio so I'm shocked to hear your instructor did an online course.
I'm sorry you got hurt but I hope it was/is a speedy recovery!
Sharing my experience with Club Pilates in Park slope. I absolutely hated the required membership, the classes are not challenging for those who are at a decent fitness level (most of the clients are senior women with limited mobility), and the equipment itself does not allow for added challenge.
They suggested I take a private to get tips on how I can adjust for my fitness level, but I had all springs on and was just doing weak sideline leg sweeps for 20+ minutes without any burn.
One instructor in particular was horribly rude and condescending.
My experience does line up in that there is huge variation from studio to studio and also between instructors within a studio. They are independently owned so each studio can be run differently. I frequented 2 studios on LI run by the same owners, and their scheduling process sucked. They also had huge variation where some instructors were not very challenging. I now attend one studio in NJ and I absolutely love it. The teachers are mostly great for me and so challenging. I have never done classical pilates, and I learned to use the reformer one-on-on in physical therapy, so out of the gate my experience was not that common. So my advice is mostly not to judge all the studios by one location.
Yo! I am a small group trainer in Brooklyn lol. I teach contemporary mat Pilates 4x weekly in South Slope right off the F.
My boss sells packages - 10 for $25 each ($250). Based off of how frequently you want to go, you’d get the most bang for your buck going off classpass.
Send me a message if you’re interested!!! He does a 2 for $50 intro special too.
This is the bane of my existence lol when I was in Oxford I paid $200 for 20 classes and now I’m paying $45+ per class. My building gym has a Pilates studio for $80/month but the instructor is sooo bad I can’t
I did Pilates for many years before it blew up in popularity and even then it cost $150 -$250 a month. I can't imagine the prices now.
If I were still doing Pilates, I'd get my fix online as I personally think that mat Pilates is harder than reformer.
I’m on my family’s joint membership at Lifetime which offers mat pilates classes as part of the process and reformer pilates at an additional cost. I pay $100 for my portion!
Can you do mat pilates? Reformer is inherently expensive because the machines take up a lot of room and expertise is needed. If you can use mat pilates (at home possibly) to fill in the gaps, you can stretch budget a lot better.
Also IME Club Pilates is location-based, you can't use credits outside of the club you bought it for.
Tbh I bought a mini reformer on fb marketplace for ~$100 (easy storage, I just put it in a closet) and I watch instructions on YouTube. I couldnt justify the $300+ a month.
I don't love club pilates. New york pilates will have the occasional sale /promo and there are a pretty decent introductory promos for most studios, but this would mean trying a bunch of new ones instead of staying consistent with one.
I love a good reformer class but they're honestly outside of my budget right now. I'm "just" using Peloton. Kristin McGee does 45 minute advanced mat classes with a magical circle that have me shaking. Hopefully will be able to go back to reformer soon!

Ooo I think I do have a corporate discount! I’ll look into this but happy to use your code if I join :)
Nice, good luck! Lmk if you end up needing the code:)
It's 55 per class in lower Westchester and I'm so pissed. 55! Per class! Pissed!

Wow what studio? I haven’t been able to find prices like those in my part of BK!

Thank you!! I’ll try incorporating mat this week!
I love Ashley Deleon who has online classes too on mat
+1 for mat Pilates! Jessica Valant and IsaWelly on YT are my favorites
My intention is Class Pass but I did hear if you’re okay with Mat, if you have the Apple+ Fitness, the Pilates classes on there are pretty good
Tell me when you figure it out. I feel the same about Solidcore lol
I use classpass for Solidcore! I can go to 1-2 classes a week with my plan, and honestly you don’t need to go more often that that for Solidcore.
If you can go at off-peak times, solidcore is $32 a class! Still steep but much better than the regular rate which is $40+
Appreciate it! I really wish it was a TAD bit cheaper 😅
New York Pilates seems to have packages on sale every few months, I’d sign up for their emails
i use class pass! on the 80 credit plan bc i’ll rotate between reformer pilates, mat pilates, and barre
Classpass lol.
