At Rolates Pilates, we are dedicated to maintaining the original methods that Joe and Clara Pilates set forth. We truly believe that teaching classical, authentic Pilates is the best way to naturally balance the body. We are honored to be teaching in a beautifully renovated space that was once Joe and Clara's original NYC studio, and to carry on their legacy.
I had taken Pilates with a lot of different people, but for some reason it didn't click until I found Roberta at Rolates. I have faith in everything I do knowing that Roberta completely understands what my body needs.

Pilates is a physical conditioning system that was developed in the early part of the 20th century by Joseph Pilates. The Pilates method, originally named Contrology, focuses on the core postural muscles, which help keep the body balanced and which are essential to providing support for the spine. It improves strength, flexibility and restores balance in your body.

Have taken many group classes and recently started taking private lessons. Christine is one of the instructors I try to take most often -- she is very hands on and tailors the class to the group's limits. I really appreciate having access to all the different equipment. The classes are never JUST reformer or JUST tower - you usually get an instructor who meets you where you are and has you try the chair/barrel/etc. It's honestly the best studio in NYC. I am so grateful it's right by my office.

I have gone to Pilates studios around the country and have been lucky to have participated in reformer classes with a number of excellent teachers. However, there is something unique and very special about Roberta. If you want to try Pilates or if you're experienced, don't miss an opportunity to come here.

I have studied in 4 studios in 2 states, and Rolates Pilates is "the best" Just superb! Clean as a whistle!! Lovely place to change and leave clothes safely between sessions. The MOST complete equipment I have seen or heard tell of. When new equipment is coming out, different staff test it on their own, use it, have training themselves and then share with other staff all the possibilities for how and when it might really help students. Roberta, the owner, trains, coaches and inspires instructors and there is genuine and interchange between them all on how to "get smarter"

The studio space is huge with a lot of equipment and the instructors are super talented.
I was welcomed by my instructor and the studio owner and received a follow up note that said "I hope we see you soon".
I worked with Chrissy and she is tough but good - doesn't let you get away with bad form which is exactly what I need.
