Pilates by Simona, Brooklyn NY

This studio has been a very warm and welcoming to me. So far I have only taken classes with Lenny and Simona; they are very different, but both amazing. They make classes joyous and manage to be attentive to each student even when it's a full class. During Simona's classes I have those aha moments; she can help you make the smallest of adjustments that will change everything. After Lenny's classes I'm almost falling down the stairs, my legs are so shaky; he makes you work hard, but he'll always offer modifications or props to ensure health and safety. Speaking of health and safety, I still wear my mask out in public and I was very pleasantly surprised to learn that some of the teachers here still wear masks as well. Thank you Pilates by Simona!

Aimee Plauche is an incredible pilates instructor, empath and human. I walk out of our sessions with a different body, and over time, my posture, agility and strength has improved. Simona's studio is a warm and friendly place, and everyone there is expert.

I love this studio. I started with private rehab sessions to address what had become chronic pain and discomfort. It helped tremendously! I moved into beginner classes on weekends which have continued to improve upon and solve some longstanding movement problems. Simona and Foo are great teachers! The classes are small so they are able to address people individually. The exercises/reformer is an amazing tool and the instructors are key! I am so grateful I discovered this studio.

I love going to this place. Instructors are amazing and the small class gives you a very personalized experience. The space is super clean and comfortable.

I’m so happy I found Pilates by Simona! I love Simona. She brings such great energy and expertise to her instruction. The studio is great and in such a convenient location.

Lovely this place! Challenging but small personalized classes with really thoughtful instructors. You will feel great afterward!

I've been going to the studio since pre COVID days. The studio is spacious with beautiful light coming in from Union Street and the feeling within is just as special. Everyone who has worked here has been attentive and qualified to bring out the best in their clients, who become friends and neighbors to some degree or other. Simona is a sparkling powerhouse who is rebuilding the studio from the days of shutdown with care, attention, and a hand-picked staff. Sorry, no photos. I'm a technophobe.

I’ve been loving these classes. Well worth doing a private lesson. I’ve never been more excited for a fitness class as I am coming into the studio at EHPilates by Simona. I’ve been working with Yulia and Patricia and every class is taught with passion and love for what they do. I feel like I’m really growing and strengthening - never felt sore but always getting stronger and better!

Every time I have a session here, I walk out feeling like a new woman as if my cells are completely reborn. If you are lucky enough to get a session with Freddie TAKE IT.
Super clean, everyone’s friendly, work at your own pace, attentive instructors - this place changed my life.

I have had the great fortune of working with Simona as my one-on-one Pilates instructor for about two years. I started training with her because of chronic sciatica, and over a period of a few months, my symptoms have disappeared. She is truly an amazing instructor, who works with her clients on their level of ability, never pushing too far, but building up the skill level over time. She is patient, knowledgeable, and at the same time, a true professional.

Simona is a wonderful instructor. She has an original career in dance and now provides expert Pilates instruction at her beautiful studio. Simona is both encouraged and challenging and I’ve seen my skills improve. I look forward to my weekly Pilates with Simona.

Simona is an amazing Pilates instructor, the best Ive had in 15 years of gping both to personal and class sessions. Her deep understanding of body dynamics and her warm, attentive, and patient style brings out the best in her students. And the studio is just great, a wonderful neighborhood resource. Highly recommended!

This studio is fantastic, beautiful, inviting, and spacious. I have had other instructors over the years and Yulia is the best I have experienced because she listens and learns my particular needs before even preparing her bespoke lesson plan. She has incredible knowledge of anatomy but also great energy and that’s essential to anyone focused on wellness.

Discovering EHPilates by Simona has been life changing. From the moment I walked in there I was treated with incredibly individualized attention. Simona knew exactly what my body needed and how to challenge it. Working on my overall posture and strengthening my muscles not only has helped me physically but mentally as well. Her and her trainers are patient, knowledgeable, and amazing and my body is extremely grateful.

I have been working out with Simona for 7 years and I am ecstatic that she's now the owner of this studio. Simona is incredibly knowledgeable, really listens to her clients, and can endlessly customize. She was a huge support to me during the pandemic when I was pregnant (via zoom) and I am so glad that we are back in person in her studio. She is the BEST!

I came to Simona after months of physical therapy for a pinched nerve. I was in need of strengthening and making postural changes. The space and the trainers are all welcoming and so knowledgeable. The classes and private sessions have helped me enormously. Simona is a gem and I couldn't recommend this studio more!
