From the reviews
This was the first studio I went to try mat pilates for the first time through Classpass. Afterwards I have tried other studios but none of them has consistently made me feel good about myself like Body Collective. I love how all of the instructors are welcoming and interactive with their clients.
This was my first time at the body collective and I had a great experience!! The studio is beautiful and clean. I was so surprised to see only 6 reformers in the Pilates room, it felt like it was a private session! Juliette was AMAZING!
This was my first time ever trying a Matt Pilates class, and I am so glad that I came to The Body Collective! Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, and the studio was beautiful. I was nervous to attend my first class as I didn’t know how difficult it was going to be, but our instructor was fantastic.
From my experience, The Body Collective is truly the best. I did mat Pilates with them for six months and have now started reformer classes, and the transition felt so natural thanks to their great variety of classes.
Teacher training at The Body Collective
The Body Collective 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 The Body Collective
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. 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.
