Flesh + Bone Studio

I used to love this studio! However it’s gone down hill fast! In the recent past the owner (who is not a good manager of people) has lost her best instructors.
It’s VERY disappointing!

I have been going to F&B on average 2x/​week for a year now. I’d go more often if I had the time, but I am getting great results for the amount that I’m doing. I am visibly more toned and my strength has improved.
I love the small classes. Its close to private training but much more affordable. I’ve always gotten good corrections from all instructors though some are more hands-​on than others. The instructors are all skilled at giving verbal directions and keep the class moving smoothly between exercises. You can focus on your workout and really just let them guide you. I am really able to be engaged in the class and enjoy it!

A very small studio! The instructor Leyna (and I guess owner) doubles as the receptionist. The equipment is new and very clean, but there are no lockers — my bag was stored in a shelf next to the front door. I took the Tower class and there was a lot of focus on arms. There were very few form corrections, and I know my form isn’t great. That said, it’s a good workout for the ClassPass deal. A little far from the subway, but if my go-​to pilates classes were full, I would return to this one.

This place rules. Don’t listen to haters and people needing speedy cardio who probably fail at reformer. Leyna is the jam.

I’ve been doing private sessions for six months and I love it! Highly recommend it and I’ve been seeing great results.

I was very excited to get back into Pilates and purchased the introductory package for two private sessions. I had an unfortunate circumstance and had to adjust my 8 AM appointment and called the day before at 8:25AM and left a message with the studio. After not hearing back, I left another message at 4:00 PM. The studio manager, Leyna called me back at 5:00 PM and reprimanded me about their strict 24 hour cancellation policy. I explained my circumstance to her and told her I had left a message earlier that morning. She reminded me that she was doing me a favor in changing my appointment to the following day. I thanked her profusely and apologized for the inconvenience. Then I received an email the following day detailing the 24 hour cancellation policy and although I had called at 8:25 AM that was not within the 24 hour limit and that again, I was granted a favor when she allowed me to change my appointment. It was an unnecessary reminder and one that lacks common courtesy. I was very interested in restarting my Pilates practice and was hoping to find a studio where I could continue practicing privately, but ultimately I decided that Flesh + Bone would not be the right home for me. Had I not received an email educating me on how to tell time, I would have happily given thought to patronizing Flesh + Bone.

Flesh + Bone is clean, healthy, happy, quiet, positive, hard core, and refreshing. I’ve been going there for 2 ½ years now doing both privates and classes and i feel like a badass everytime i walk out of there (with a view that matches).
Clare had it calculated for this by nature and so does the rest of the staff that i’ve worked with. no frills, no b.s., lots of care, lots of smarts, and surprisingly lots of laughs. a good humored bunch with focused individual attention. They remember my ailments from a torn rotator cuff to a pinched nerve and work with me accordingly. I brought my boyfriend who thought it was for girls and now he’s all about the reformer. thanks ladies at F+B.you’re rad.

I used to adore this place and have given years of my patronage. Sadly, a new manager (or owner who knows at this point) named Leina has been so rude and made so many passive aggressive comments that I had to leave. The instructors are good though.
I had to leave the studio because of the totally inept manager.
Too bad.

If you think you want to get serious about pilates — Flesh + Bone is THE spot to learn in Williamsburg.
My husband I started working with Clare and the wonderful instructors at Flesh & Bone over a year ago and couldn’t be happier. All the instructors are very dedicated, knowledgeable and caring. The vibe is professional yet fun, and the new digs & new equipment are amazing.
Pilates is a commitment and your knowledge and understanding develops the more you practice and the more you know, it sadly doesn’t seem get easier. However, today I stand a little bit taller, my butt is a little bit tighter, I stretch a little longer thanks to pilates ;)
I highly recommend Flesh & Bone!

Best 1-​on-​1 or workout-​with-​a-​friend place out there! Easy to get to from Manhattan (just 1 stop into Brooklyn) and the instructors are great. Cara gave me the best workout I’ve ever had.

You can book your appointments online which is a big deal for me because my schedule is insane. The instructors know what they are talking about and really work you out. I love working with Clare (the owner). I always just feel better, taller, stronger. SPINAL!!!

I LOVE this place. I started doing pilates almost a year ago and have never felt better. Clare is the owner and she’s both patient and an ass-​kicker (in a good way). She’ll have your body moving in ways you never thought possible. Sunisa is like a Thai angel. She tailors each class to what your body need and blends in elements of Thai massage and yoga too. After a class with Sunisa I feel completely energized even though I worked my ass off. And let me just say, that I am not a gym bunny by any stretch. I pretty much hate exercise, but I love pilates.
