  • I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am that I found Amare Pilates after moving into the city about a year ago. I've been doing pilates for 8 years now but your method with intervals of cardio and strength has changed my body to be so much stronger.

  • Marina's classes are so rooted in the mind body connection that Pilates is all about. Her fun and dynamic classes are so refreshing to mix in with my usual routine. She ends every class with mindful breathing, a sound bath, and essential oil towelettes that are such a memorable highlight of doing Pilates with Amare! Highly recommend!

  • Absolutely amazing! Her calm voice and fabulous music is exactly what you need for a detoxing Pilates class. Her class is better than therapy, and leaves you feeling strong and confident. I always make sure to find Marina wherever she is to attend her class. She has helped me build and maintain muscle and has the best class!

  • Amare has been such a savior living in hectic NYC. I love how this form of Pilates intertwines strength, toning, cardio, and mental clarity. Every time I leave Amare I am full of energy !!! And the cold lavender towels at the end make everything worth it.

  • Amare Pilates is the highlight of my week every week! Not only is it an amazing strengthening workout, but it is also always a good time with the best music and vibes. I'm obsessed with this class and so glad I found it!
