The PILATES Room & ANTIGRAVITY Studio

Just finished my first virtual class Jana Via the Pilates Room.  Whew- satisfying challenge!  The video quality and demo of the exercises were very clear and easy to follow - especially with not being in person.  Definitely plan to take advantage of super convenient virtual options through the Pilates Room

I just had a personal visit with Chimêne and it was eye opening.  I didn't realize how much my neurological imbalances status post stroke went right down to my core.  Like a good physical therapist, she focuses on stability before mobility and therefore we are starting at the core and working our way out.  Thank you to the Pilates studio for providing this service of neurokinetic therapy to our community.  I hope to learn a lot more in my future visits.

Loved the stretch class with Tori. It was especially good having done her Barre class before hand as I find it much easier to go into a deeper stretch when my muscles are warmed up. This was much much more than that an ordinary stretch class. She explained in detail where the facshia surrounded & influenced each of the muscle groups we were stretching and taught us how to access it...all the while maintaining alignment. Even though we were holding the stretches for a longer time, it felt amazing. I would have to say it’s the best Pilates stretch class I’ve ever experienced.

Thank you to all who make the Pilates Room & Antigravity studio possible.  There are a lot of reasons why it is a great resource center for all around fun, health, and super good vibes.  So far I have only gone to the Fascial Refresh class with Chimene but I have plans to try the Floating meditation class, the Tai chi class, yoga class and bungee class (probably lots more too).  

The Fascial Refresh is like getting a re-introduction to your body's inner structure and world by a seasoned and loving guide (aka Chimene) -- it's an exploration of how we feel, how our body works, with so much care and compassion rolled into it. You will be guided as to how to maximally receive the benefits of each movement from the smallest joint in your foot to your overall musculo-skeletal-energetic structures.

And it's fun.  The location is wonderful, on the edge of Fall Creek, close to Ithaca Falls, a restaurant, with easy access by foot, bike or car. There is so much offered at the center that I won't try to express it all (their website does that) but I'm definitely glad I have finally made it over there and plan to spend a lot of time exploring and increasing my health under the care of all the wonderful instructors there.  

Plus, fresh water, great teas, and so much more......you'll be glad you checked it out once you do!

I went to the Fascial Refresh class, and I am 100% convinced that anyone who has an iota of stress in their life should make this class a priority. It helped me be more aware of my breathing, how my body was at rest, and then after the class, to bring you back to those 2 things and becoming aware of how the different stretches and exercises, made a difference. I have never been to a class where I could notice the difference immediately before.  The teacher was open and joyful. She explained things without judgment if you got it wrong. The atmosphere was one of fun. We were making jokes with people we had never met before.  The gym was clean and organized. Plus it smelled wonderful! Not like a gym at all!! Signed up for the recurring class, and now I can't wait to try the Bungee and Ariel classes too

I am a local, born & raised& over the years I have tried many yoga studios& exercise groups. When I walked in yesterday for my first rebound class, I could not have felt more welcome or comfortable; everyone was kind& supportive & wonderful. The facilities are clean& comfortable & simply beautiful. The flight class I tried today was super fun, I had no idea how to do anything, but I felt like a circ de sole acrobat & it was just great. Thank you for the space you have provided, the diverse classes& in general for being awesome people.

The teachers are really great, welcoming, friendly and knowledgable.  Dropping in and trying things out is easy and I haven't been disappointed by any of the classes I've tired.  I got the 10 class pass after my first class and love it's flexibility and affordability.

What a lovely space! Very professional and friendly! Had a great time and will certainly be back!

Great Barre Class! Pace was slow but exercises were effective which made the perfect combination. Instructor was super helpful and came around class to correct form which is always much appreciated. Trial membership is worth a shot to try out the different types of classes and find your preferences. A great hidden gem in Ithaca!

I’m so glad the studio has 1 week trial membership, so I tried it a few lessons before purchasing monthly membership! Love the intimate atmosphere and professional instructors! Had so much doing different cardio classes, barre, hiit etc!
