Pilates is a safe way for people of all ages and abilities to exercise, and the close relationship between you and your instructor that we foster is the most effective way to address your unique needs. We will pair you with the instructor who best fits your physical history, and they will tailor the diverse library of Pilates movements to your body and goals. At Bridge Pilates, we are dedicated to vigorous, playful, and compassionate teaching.

History

Established in 2006.

Located in the heart of Dumbo, Brooklyn, Bridge Pilates has been moving the New York Pilates community since 2006. Bridge Pilates was founded by Blossom Leilani Crawford, the protégé of Pilates Elder Kathy Grant. We are a collective of highly qualified teachers experienced in both traditional and contemporary Pilates methods.

Our Brooklyn loft studio houses a full line of Pilates equipment, from the latest Pilates tools, to vintage equipment that was personally designed by Mr. Pilates. In a typical session at Bridge, you will exercise on the both the mat and on specialized equipment like the Reformer, the Cadillac, and the Wunda Chair. These machines all use springs, which provide resistance that challenges your body and balances it effectively.
