With so many Pilates studios in Brooklyn, it can be difficult to feel confident that you have found the one that is right for you. I have never once questioned my choice of Ellie Herman, nor looked anywhere else having found them. The instructors are talented, well-trained and extremely knowledgeable (you will learn a ton about your body and how to make it work better for you) without being at all pretentious or off-putting. They put you at ease, meeting you where you are while at the same time challenging you to push to whatever your "next" level may be. I always feel like I have had really "worked out" and walk around for days feeling stronger and like my body is truly in sync. The classes are plentiful and varied with instructors that are intelligent, engaging, and fun (making those 100's just whiz by!) A special shout out to the ever-Zen, Kelly Morrisette, who is truly amazing. Each of my sessions with her is well-planned, thoughtful and spot-on (its as if she reads your mind). Cait Lash Bower, Kit Bihun, and Hannah Z., are also uniquely gifted in a field of enormously talented instructors. Top that off with a warm welcome from Amanda at the front desk, and you will indeed have the ultimate Pilates experience at Ellie Herman.
Ellie Herman Pilates is great! I've been going for about two years and am really impressed by how knowledgable and genuinely caring all of the instructors are. The classes are challenging and they have helped me develop a much better understanding of MY body and how to really care for it. I used to be plagued by all sorts of ankle/knee/hip aches and those have all disappeared. Yay! I can't recommend it more highly!
Aimee is an awesome instructor who challenged us while helping everyone in the class who was out of alignment. I walked away feeling much better than when I walked in. I always leave Ellie's studios feeling like I got an amazing workout!
Arrived on a redeye from L.A. Didn't sleep on the flight but decided to hit the ground running and attend a morning Mat, Springboard & Toys - Mixed Level class with a friend. I was a little nervous being a total beginner in general (plus having never heard of a Springboard before). I should not have worried. I had a great experience with all of it: the ease of making the reservation; cleanliness and chill vibe of the studio; professional, knowledgeable, supportive, and friendly, expert instructor (Kesa) who made sure to check in with everyone about any current injuries; nice people of varying expertise levels taking the class. There's a lot I didn't know but I just went with it, always feeling safe while challenging my body. I got a lot out of the exercises and movements we went through and was plenty sore later that day (and the next) - but in a good deep muscle way. I would actually make taking some sort of class part of my post-arrival travel routine, when possible. And I would absolutely return to this class the next time I'm in town.
I have been wanting to write this review for awhile - Ellie Herman Pilates was the most fun I've had in my life doing movement and exercise. I loved it so much I pursued my own certification in Ellie Herman's Barre Method and went everyday the year before I had to move from New York. Ellie's understanding of how the body works is master level - and she has thoughtfully and expertly designed a method that is both fun and functional. She and her teachers are trained in dealing with all body types whether you are young or old, injured, pregnant or just getting started in a healthy fitness routine. I watched myself and everyone in class grow exponentially in their strength and endurance in the time I was able to attend - I unexpectedly hit the best shape I've ever been in, in my life. I adored coming to class everyday and having the community of the class, a sweaty, fun workout, and having the support of Ellie and her teachers'. I hope to visit the city soon and come to class again. Elle Herman's fitness studio is a hidden treasure in a world where there's a new fitness boutique on every corner.
Worst online signing up/scheduling system. New to the neighborhood. I booked a class through MINDBODY. I received no address in the confirmation email and no details about the class. I ended up going to the wrong studio location (the main one) and from there the receptionist girl sent me to yet another wrong address!
I called the studio and they refused to give me my money back!
Pissed off.

I have been taking Pilates matt and reformer classes at the Ellie Herman Annex for over 6 years. It has completely changed my body especially my posture. The classes are well designed to challenge every part of your body. There are many different classes for different levels. You can take a beginning matt or reformer class if you're just starting out. Or you can take the Power Pilates class if you are up for a real challenge. Matt classes are a combination of matt work and using other props such as the arc and the Ellie Herman designed spring boards that emulate the reformer. These "toys" , along with the good humor of the teachers, keep the classes moving along and you are done before you know it. The teachers are amazing! (Ellie Herman even teachers classes there!) I highly recommend it!
ellie herman and her band of teachers are hands down the best ya'll. i should know because i'm a teacher trained by her. i get clients coming to see me injured from other studios, and using my training, i'm able to fix them. in short, want a group class that kicks your ass without injuring and grinding your joints? take a class here.
