Bluming Studio

I have taken pilates classes and done private sessions at many of the most reputable studios in NYC and none compare to Bluming Studio. Elisa and her staff are some of the most knowledgable I have worked with and tailor each workout specifically to that individual and their needs. This isn't a place where you will mindlessly run through the classical series every time - each workout is different and challenging. I highly recommend this studio to anyone who is looking for a satisfying pilates experience! Not to mention, you must try the Migun after one of your workouts to help loosen sore muscles;) more

I highly reccomend Bluming studio, excllent teachers, lots of routines, you can never get bored, always challenging. I feel much stronger after short time. The place is quiet and clean. I always look forward to pilates! more

The beauty about this studio is that not only can you get a great session in Pilates, Gyrotonic and Migun massage, each teacher is unique so that the experiene is different even when doing the same method with different teachers. That being said, the teachers work closely with one another so that one is always informed about what I did with the other teachers and creates my experience around that! I have tried many other studios where the teachers seemed to all work in a vaccum so I quickly lost interest.\r \r I was very out of shape and with many aches and pains when I came to Elisa's studio, and now I truly feel like my body is ready for anything else I want to try.\r \r What else can I say? The studio is beautiful, the staff is great as is the community that they have attracted! more

I love going to Elisa's studio. Everyone I have worked with there is knowledgable and fits the workout to my needs. The environment is nothing but positive. Going there reinforces my belief that Pilates is the best thing you can do for your body, and in the case of Elisa's studio, your mind. more

It's impossible to sum up how amazing Elisa is! She isn't just a great teacher, she is a master at Pilates. She takes one look at me and knows exactly what I need to work on. This fall will make it four years of working with her and I would never think of going to anyone else. I began going to her incredible Williamsburg studio when I lived in far out Brooklyn and New Jersey. Now I come from Manhattan - twice a week. I'd have it no other way! I've never been in better shape or felt as good about myself. Run to the phone and book yourself a session - you won't regret it. Pros: Expertise, Personality, Motivation more

I've been working w/ Elisa for over a year - she had me hooked right away! She's knowledgable, patient, relaxed and has really gotten me far in chnaging the way my body works. Pros: location, 10-class card, nice equipment more

After five+ years of studying pilates with Elisa Bluming, I feel my body, posture, endurance and physical outlook has changed immensely. I feel so strong (even when I miss a workout). After discovering how much my body had changed from doing pilates once a week, I became so inspired that I lost over 35 pounds. I feel better about my body than I have in 15 years! I really enjoy going to the studio in Williamsburg. It has a fun atmosphere, it's comfortable and bright, and it feels relaxed and friendly. Pros: Great Teacher, Bright Sunny Space, Great Neighborhood Cons: Not enough celebritie, No cappucino, Too far from airport more

After trying a number of studios and being turned off by the instructers I have so happily crossed the East river to find Elisa Bluming. Not only have I dropped 6 lbs in 1 1/2 months my body feels tight and stong. I throughly enjoy my workouts and Elisa and really knows how to get results. Pros: knowlegable expertise, beautiful studio, warm energy Cons: over the east river more

Elisa is one my favorite Pilates Instructors in the city. She's fun, innovative, and detailed in her training which makes an intense workout, but very enjoyable. You rock, girl! more
