I have been a devotee of Physique for 17 years now! Physique has seen my body through wedding day preparation, THREE kids (one of whom was born just hours after a Physique class), turning 40, turning 50 and peri-menopause...and that's just my journey so far. There aren't enough words to describe my love for Physique.
Pure Barre UWS Columbus Ave is a parallel universe where everyone is kinder, stronger, and somehow able to hold a plank for an alarmingly long time without crying. I aspire to be like them. Until then, I shake in the back corner and call it “progress.
If you’re looking for a gentle, relaxing Pilates class, this is NOT it. This place is run by a team of superhuman instructors who I’m convinced derive joy from watching us suffer (only joking). Every morning, I walk in feeling hopeful.
