Meet the Business Owner

Cassidy M.

Business Owner

I have been in practice since 1999, I have trained with notable practitioners in the following arenas:

Rehabilitation with Lizz Roman, Marie-​Jose Blom and Amanda Jessee

Myofacial meridian training with Thomas Myers

Assessing and correcting global movement patterns with Tom McCook.

I have served nearly 300 clients since founding my practice. When people are injured, they may instantly create new movement patterns to adjust and cope with the injury. These new movement patterns can hinder us from performing as our best possible selves and they need to be corrected. I am proud to be able to provide this valuable guidance and education. However, the bulk of the work is done by the client so people with a high level of commitment to getting well get the most out of their time with us. I don’t string people along in their recovery process. My goal is to get my clients back into their active lifestyle as quickly and as safely as possible.

My friend Tamara Gibo wanted me to post this for her:) (she needs to get Unilocal!) she is super into Pilates so I wanted to post this on her behalf!
I love visiting different Pilates studios when I travel because each instructor has something unique to offer. However, my session with you was far beyond a unique Pilates experience, and I feel like we barely touched the surface! Your attention to detail in movement was really amazing, and in such a short time I came home with a lot that will improve my work-​outs.
I will definitely see you next time I’m in town!

Body Gallery gets a thumbs up. Cassidy is a rockstar! While working with me, I really felt 100% of her attention was focused directly on me and only me. Having a person’s full attention is important, right? The goals and assessments are clear and focused. This is perfect for people like me who are busy and just don’t have time to waste. They literally talk about getting me back to my active life «as quickly and safely as possible», and turns out, they mean it!

I have been a client at The Body Gallery since April 2014 and had nothing but a positive experience. Cara is an absolutely amazing! I have been working with her for over a year to address issues that come from too much time in front of a desk, in a car and on a plane and the progress I have made has been remarkable.
Cara is very knowledgeable and caring — she has helped me become more aware of my how I move and a joy to work with.
I highly recommend The Body Gallery and Cara for anyone interested in pilates and a personalized program to get you moving.

Cassidy is a pilates guru. She has so much knowledge on how the body works, and uses it to plan your sessions, and long term goals. She works with you one on one to gain strength and understanding on each movement and exercise. Her patience and humor make each session a joy. The Body Gallery is a highlight of my week…(and I really don’t love traditional exercise.)

Cassidy is wonderful to work with. She has a can do attitude! The studio is smack dab in the middle of Union Square and is an Oasis in the middle of the hustle bustle. Want to get in shape with out injuring yourself? Then The Body Gallery is the place to go.

This is not the typical pilates studio. This is more like a personalized body rebalancing facility. I have worked with both Cara and Cassidy. They are super personable, knowledgable, and positive.
I have been an athlete for decades and have dealt with a ton of healthcare professionals. These two are two of the best. If you want peak health and peak performance go here.

My lower back has been in a state of constant pain for the last five years, and I have tried everything. EVERYTHING! About six months ago, my chiropractor recommended The Body Gallery. I must admit, I was a bit hesitant at first because I’ve tried Pilates on my own in the past to no avail. Well, was I wrong! Cara, my lovely instructor at The Body Gallery, has revolutionized the way I walk, sit, and workout. She has showed me how to strengthen my core and how to breath, and for the first time in 5 years, I have no back pain. The amazing women at The Body Gallery are truly talented, and I’m sooooo fortunate to have found them.
When you find you are at your wit’s end, and you think you have exhausted all avenues regarding chronic pain, call up The Body Gallery.

Cara is a fantastic instructor — motivating, patient, and very personable. Most of all, she is skilled and highly professional. I started Pilates as I was interested in working my core so that I can relieve my back pain. Over time, I felt stronger and more flexible, which definitely helped relieve back tension. I recommend Cara and the Body Gallery with no hesitation.

Life throws things at you when you least expect it. You are either on that train or watching it pass you by!
Apparently the only thing that can slow me down is losing use of one of my feet! (It was an embarrassing treadmill fiasco– don’t ask)
But thanks to my tune ups at TBG I was back on my feet and ready to rock the globe:
Lima, Buenos Aires, Barcelona, Munich, Santiago de Chile, Prague, Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, Miami… Whew!
THANKS BODY GALLERY!

I recently discovered this great studio in the middle of Union Square, right off the Montgomery Bart. It’s perfect for someone looking for a clean, quick and luxurious class. They really pay attention to details here. Classes are small and personalized. I really felt like I was getting the most out of my experience.
I usually do yoga, but I decided to switch it up and try pilates with Jenise. She made me feel very comfortable. The hour long class was challenging but her guidance, attention to detail and positive personality made time fly. She also drops little nuggets of knowledge on you. It’s more than a class, it’s a great experience. The next day I was a little sore, but it was the good kind. I had activated muscles that I normally don’t use in yoga or any of my other workouts. I’m definately going back for more.

I discovered The Body Gallery through ClassPass and tried a few lunchtime pilates mat classes a few months ago, but it doesn’t look like they’re partnering with ClassPass anymore. There are a few pilates reformer machines, but those classes weren’t offered through ClassPass so I haven’t tried them out.
The pilates mat classes I took were with Jenise. The classes were very small, with at most 4 people, so there was a lot of individualized attention. Jenise loves to provide hands-​on adjustments and focuses a lot on proper alignment. Very few pilates classes I’ve been to have instructors who make this effort so I definitely appreciated it. None of the exercises were super challenging, but the classes still made for a light lunchtime workout.
The studio itself is very small and clean. They even have a fridge with complimentary water and coconut water, as well as some snacks and other random samples.

I am not a reviewer of any kind but this one, we’ve got to give it to them!
was first introduced to pilates 5 years ago and it has been the only form of exercise I do regularly. My best friend owns the most prominent pilates studio franchise in Asia (and Europe, to a certain extent), as a result I have always been privileged to the best instructors in each city that I travel to or live in. These are trainers who train movie stars/​singers, etc. But the Body Gallery and what Cassidy has done is a whole different league altogether.
The focus is strengthening you and the effect does come fast. In the first few sessions, I was puzzled. I didn’t know there is muscle in a certain spot I was suggested to try to work on.
Since it is not easy to get a schedule at the Body Gallery, I do see other instructors in another city where I often travel to. I even feel the improvement when I work out with other instructors, even after 1 – 2 sessions at Body Gallery.
I didn’t look up Body Gallery on Unilocal so I didn’t have any expectation when I started. I was just looking for somewhere closeby and truly stumbled upon this place. How lucky was I? In the past 3 months, I have felt so much better than I have ever been and I spend less on body massages. I would suggest anyone to train here as long as you don’t take up my spot!

Cassidy and The Body Gallery are fantastic. Not like your typical fitness-​focused gym pilates, this studio is dedicated more to healing and long-​range well-​being. There’s an amazing amount of attention paid to the slightest of body mechanics.
I found the personalized analysis and game plan very useful. In my case, I came in initially with a tightness in my back that wouldn’t quit. That has since subsided and I have gained a variety of simple tools (homework actually) that I can, should be, and have been implementing on my own in between studio visits.
If you’re looking to make a worthwhile investment in taking care of and strengthening your number one instrument — a.k.a. your body! — I’d certainly recommend checking out the aptly named Body Gallery.

Within 10 minutes of careful assessment, Cassidy identified precisely what postural and musculoskeletal issues I had and knew what I needed. She explained the issues to me clearly, showed me the problems by having me experience weakness (and then strength) with various movements, and she taught me how to do my homework exercises so well that I actually remembered them (!). Cassidy is truly an expert, plus she is incredibly personable and fun! I enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend her.

Cassidy Moore and her team at the body gallery are great resource for an excellent work out or more in depth knowledge of all that Pilates has to offer. Her studio works a lot with rehab issues, prenatal /​postpartum care, and chronic pain. I would not hesitate as a holistic healing professional myself, to recommend her as an adjunct to treatment.

Cassidy not only practices with good intention and intelligence but also with a very strong intuition of how to heal and strengthen the body. I have been working with her for overall strength and to address some localized pain I have been having in my body due to my work demands; always being on my feet and bending over clients while working from one prominent side, and she has been helping me to learn correct body mechanics so that I can not only be without pain but more aware of how to tend to my bod for a pain free future!
The space is gorgeous, the location convenient and close to all public transit lines and Cassidy is a wonderful practitioner with a pretty head full of wise knowledge regarding human anatomy. I highly recommend Cassidy and The Body Gallery.

I am really impressed and amazed by the knowledges Cassidy has on how body structure works.
She has extensive knowledges on muscles/​joints functions and mechanism.
What she went over at the initial assessment is very well in-​line of what we learned from chiropractic school.
She was very detailed at the assessment and was able to point out the places i need to work on my body.
She went over exercises I have to do outside of the office and the best part is she will check on you periodically via email.
She really cares her clients and genuinely want them to get better.

I got a referral to The Body Gallery through my chiropractor to go in for an assessment, after I’d been feeling more soreness and tension in my shoulders and lower back than usual. After a quick email introduction with the owner, I set up an introductory appointment with Cara. That was back in early June and I’ve been back for an hourly session every week since!
Cara is extremely kind and personable, and on top of that she really knows what’s she’s doing! She’s really good about changing up the routines to focus on how your body is feeling that day, as well as making sure you’re comfortable. She gives very clear instructions on what each exercise does and where you should be feeling the «burn», rattling off muscle names with ease. I also appreciate that she gives constant encouragement and helpful corrections.
As someone with a «fluffy» physique, I’m also grateful that I’ve never felt self-​conscious about the way I look when I’m exercising here. No judgements, just a professional and friendly workout that makes me leave with my body feeling more open and strong.
I think everyone should give personal pilates a try at least once– at least for a consult. You’ll learn a lot of things about your body and what it can do!

I began seeing Cara after the birth of my son. I had been so busy and didn’t prioritize getting back into shape. By the end of the initial session I could feel my core beginning to wake up for the first time in a year and a half. I was so grateful!
The thing about Cara, besides being a cool person to be with for an hour, is she brings a lot of knowledge to the table. She began by doing a thorough assessment, so our sessions were clearly customized for what my body needed to be stronger and more balanced.
Since working with her my self awareness has increased, I’m back on track, and I’m feeling really good in my body again. Cara is a great pilates instructor, I highly recommend her.
