There is a Pilates renaissance happening on the internet, where, according to What’s Trending, “Many creators on TikTok are claiming that this exercise is making the most change to their bodies than anything they’ve ever done.” And residents of Algin Managemnet’s no-fee rental apartments in Uptown Manhattan have the luxury of living near some of the finest Pilates studios in the country. 

While there are many reasons why this form of exercise is having a moment on the internet, one of them is the simple fact that the TikTokers are reporting what some of New York’s finest Pilates instructors have known for years—that it aims to build power in the core, the place on which so much of the health of the body and mind rely. Moreover, the IRL experience enhances the sense of community and allows Pilates practitioners to achieve a state of calm we often associate with the yoga experience. 

Just five minutes from Sessanta, residents will find Solidcore, where the strength training workout is paired with a highly intentional atmosphere of dim blue lights, carefully chosen music, the signature Solidcore equipment, and world-class instructors. Each class has a different focus and includes foundations, full body, arms+abs, buns+guns, buns+abs, and core30. The coaches here come from a wide array of backgrounds, but you’ll find many with strong dance backgrounds, like Maya P. who trained as both a dancer and an aerialist.

Near Algin Management’s selection of properties on the Upper East Side, you’ll find Uptown Pilates, where both private and group classes are on offer. This intimate, inviting studio on Madison Avenue offers a chance to feel truly at home, thanks to light-infused rooms (some with a skylight) that will make the effort feel at least partly like an escape. Instructors here will help tailor each class to your needs in private sessions and remain attentive to your specific needs, even in group classes. The Introductory Private Class Special includes four private sessions at a discount and is the perfect way to make the small commitment you need to discover how much you will appreciate the benefits if you make Pilates a long-term part of your life. 

Club Pilates is just five minutes from Algin’s property at 330 East 85th St. and is the kind of place that, once you become a regular, will turn into one of the defining experiences of your neighborhood. You’ll find the standard Pilates Reformer equipment here, along with BOSU balls, EXO chairs, and rollers. With an ethos that is welcoming to all bodies of all ages, this is a studio where the particular well-being that can be achieved through attention to core strength is both toning and healing. It’s the reason TikTok is exploding now with Pilates fans, and it’s something you can learn from the true pros in elegant settings.
