From the reviews
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.
This studio is awesome - instructors are challenging and motivating (Mark is amazing!), and truly some of the toughest barre classes there are. Studio is clean and has spacious changing rooms, and the staff are always friendly and helpful.
Beautiful studio, unbeatable workout! Love that a low-impact is workout can pack such a punch, and that every movement can be modified for different levels of fitness.
The best way to start a Sunday in NYC—hands down! 😍 My glutes are already feeling it, and I can only imagine how sore I’ll be tomorrow! As a Pilates instructor in DC, I thought I had a good idea of what to expect… but wow, was I in for a surprise!
Teacher training at Physique 57 Barre 60th & 5th Studio | Upper East Side
Physique 57 Barre 60th & 5th Studio | Upper East Side comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming a barre instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — many boutique studios run a proprietary, method-specific training (Pure Barre, Bar Method, and barre3 each certify you in their own format), while others offer a more general barre certification you can teach anywhere. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — trainings often run as intensive weekend blocks or over several weeks, and most studios want you taking classes there regularly first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.
Your first barre class at Physique 57 Barre 60th & 5th Studio | Upper East Side
New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel — there are showers on site if you need one after. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
