The Co Pilates

We all make new years resolutions to get fit and do more exercise, but I believe that health and wellness resolutions should not be made in the beginning of the year but all year around. I have been working with Brittany, owner of The Co Pilates since June 2016 on an one-to-one basis. I am always on the go since I am an insurance broker who travels a lot to see my clients, so it is key that I have a good exercise regime that will help me with my constant travel. I initially started with Brittany in the Summer of 2015 after I had a bad concussion earlier that year when I slipped and fell on black ice. I had balance issues, which she helped me with by customizing a Pilates program for me to heal and get better when it came to balance and walking. She is absolutely amazing and her new studio in the heart of Union Square in Manhattan is a prime location which is easily accessible. Once you work with Brittany on an one-to-one basis, you can see the true benefits of Pilates customized to you! I recommend it to everyone to visit her and see for yourself! It is quite the experience.

I loved working with Brittany! I was very intimidated by Pilates before working with Brittany and she does such an amazing job making sure you are doing all your positions correctly while ensuring you are not injuring yourself. She really takes the time to understand how you are feeling throughout the session and custom tailor each session to you and how you are feeling each day. Not to mention the studio is always super clean and has an amazing view!

I have trained with Brittany at The Co Pilates for many many years! Brittany has been a pleasure to work with. She has taught me how to listen to my body and transform it using skills to build muscle while also strengthening my core. As a 56yo, Ive watched my body age, and learned through Brittany’s expertise, how to work appropriate muscles that strengthen yet keep me safe from harm. I have had pre-existing pain that has basically healed through on-going work with her. She listens carefully to feedback on body pain and provides routines that help eliminate the pain. She encourages a focused workout yet also provides a happy working relationship. I also work out at the gym, and Brittany has taught me how to properly use weights and cardio equipment to maintain a healthy strong body. The office is very clean and safe, and all the equipment is in great shape! I have recommended Brittany to many friends, and they too, have shared similar experiences such as mine. During Covid, Brittany offered zoom Pilates. I was hesitant to participate, but once I did, it was almost like having a session in the studio! She works with what you have at home and how to get the best results! I highly recommend the Co Pilates for people of all ages, body types, and those with specific needs that need body strengthening.

Working with Brittany was the best thing I have ever done for my body and a total game changer for me as an adult athlete. My sports medicine doctor recommended I try Pilates with Brittany when I was struggling to manage a string of running injuries that were plaguing me after many years of marathons. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I was desperate for a body reset to get me back on track doing the things I love without the plague of aches and injuries that had become the norm. What I got with Brittany was far beyond my expectations. Having been a competitive athlete all my life, I thought I had a pretty good understanding of my body, strength training, exercise science etc., but working with Brittany completely changed the way I understand my body and how to use it. I left each of our sessions on a high of positive energy and my body is stronger than it has ever been. Brittany is also just a wonderful person to work with-- she is kind, funny, incredibly knowledgeable and always learning more, and I felt like our work was highly tailored to my body and my goals. If you are thinking of trying Pilates, this is the place!

I am a professional dancer and have had a chronic hip problem that ranges from uncomfortable to really painful, it often shifts my SI joint causing back tension too.  I went to see Brittany during one of the painful stints in February and I was blown away by how much progress we made in one session!  Brittany was able to help me identify and activate all the muscles in my legs that were weak because of my imbalance. She gave me realistic exercises and thoroughly explained why and how it would help.  Brittany understands the body and how it moves, she well articulates and she obviously cares about her clients.  I will definitely be going back to see her!
