Reviews and Testimonials

“I have been going to The Pilates Circuit Chelsea for over a year and can't say enough great things about the experience. Every time I take a class with Tamara or Anyeli, I leave feeling strong and empowered. As a person with a disability, they adapt the class to my week-to-week needs while challenging me to push my body further in the safest way. I've learned so much about movement and my body from their knowledge, and I look forward to each class!”

“I have been a reformer Pilates junkie for the better part of the last 10 years; constantly trying out the city's many studios, instructors, and styles. I first met Tamara at a studio she taught at back in 2018 and immediately fell in love with her positive, encouraging attitude and overall style of teaching. Her technique is that of an incredibly seasoned instructor and while her sessions are challenging, I always leave her feeling confident and strong. Most importantly, though, her workouts produce results. If you want long, lean lines... Tamara is your girl. Her new studio is centrally located and lovely! So thrilled to have her back in the city.”

“I have loved Pilates since moving to New York over ten years ago. I found Tamara back in 2018 and loved her challenging mat pilates classes and positive energy. Now she has a beautiful private pilates studio, and my 1-on-1 class with her was nothing short of AMAZING. I work out regularly and consider myself to be in good shape. She challenged me and taught me so much in just one session. She is so knowledgeable, and truly cares that her students get the most out of class! Tamara even spent 30 extra minutes with me (!!!) working on mobility and personalized strength. I have already told all of my friends they MUST run, not walk, to her studio. Such great energy and I know I’ll be super sore tomorrow!”

“To borrow Nike’s motto, just do it! If you have ever felt like you need to incorporate more strength into your routine AND work on your posture then most definitely just do it. I was very intimidated by the thought of a private Pilates session but Tamara made me feel comfortable. She is sweet, kind and encouraging. And holy moly- what a workout! It was well paced and fun so you don’t feel the time but you will feel the burn. She was able to explain small adjustments I needed to make in a way that I understood. Stop hesitating and contact her.”

“I went to Tamara's group classes pre-pandemic, and absolutely loved her energy and positivity. So excited that her private classes are back. The new studio space is great, and as always, Tamara gives constructive feedback, corrections, and answers any questions you may have about form. She's really such a wonderful instructor. Take her class! You won't regret it!”

“By far the best private reformer pilates in NYC! Tamara is an incredibly seasoned instructor who adapts sessions to your personal needs and goals so you see results. Her in-depth knowledge of how the body works and how to build strength to overcome injuries or weaknesses in certain areas is **major.** I'm not only getting more toned, I'm also building a healthier and more functional body.

Plus, this is a gorgeous sun-drenched studio in a fantastic location. Can't think of a more motivating place to focus on yourself.”

“I first met Tamara when she was teaching at a different studio years ago and have kept following her wherever she goes ever since. She is a super kind and smart teacher/coach/human who will push you but always make sure you're listening to your own body and using healthy technique. You will walk away feeling good about yourself but challenged, no matter what kind of shape you're in.

As an added bonus, she also basically sounds like an Australian Disney Princess, which makes tough exercises sound less painful :-)”

“Tamara was my first Pilates instructor a few years back - when I moved to other cities I simply could not find anyone with her experience, positivity and good nature. She is simply the best, pushing you to do better but giving you the flexibility to also go at your own pace - her famous words: listen to your body is now my mantra.”

— Theresa Panuccio

“Had a class with Tamara and she was amazing! Knew exactly how to push me without overdoing it and worked my body in new ways. She was the perfect balance of challenging and feel good and helped to strengthen muscles that I’m neglecting on a regular basis. Highly recommend this studio!!”
