UPDATE: It's been almost 3 months and I'm about 40 classes in already- yes I love how pilates makes me feel so I've been going regularly. Today I did my first workshop "Magic Circle" and it was so much fun! Plus I learned simple exercises with a small piece of equipment I can easily use at home. I'm even looking 'better', according to people I work with... They want to know what I'm doing that not only am I looking better but have notably more energy. Just pilates with Amy, now if I could only find the willpower to diet I'm sure I'd be even 'more better' :) -------- So, I'm not really a review writer but I have to tell you guys... I LOVE Precision Pilates and owner/instructor Amy Hirsch. As I'm getting older, creakier and generally unfit I was looking for something to ease me back into some sort of physical activity. I never expected to feel so much "looser" and less "bunched up" even after just my 1st class. I think I'm into 8 or 9 classes in just over 3 weeks now. Every time I go, no matter how I feel, I know I'm going to leave with my body feeling better and my sense of well being having been uplifted. The studio is pristine and the equipment is great. I've done both private and group classes and although I thought I would feel self conscious in a group class, (using equipment that is still new to me and also being not that "stretchy" yet :) I wasn't at all. It's a welcoming and friendly environment and everyone there is just plain nice. There are also different level classes to strive to, so I look forward continuing my practice with Amy and team (shout out to Jenn Ward too:) for a long time to come. I wrote this long review because I hope it helps someone like me that was on the fence to just give it a try, I promise you won't be sorry you did! -Diana :)

Precision Pilates has completely transformed my mind, body and spirit. I haven't felt this good in a long time! The entire staff is so enthusiastic, helpful and encouraging, they make me feel right at home in their beautiful studio. I recently had a fantastic mat workout with Melanie and her positive attitude is absolutely infectious. I am able to wear a two piece bathing suite again! Thank you Precision Pilates!!

Dominic Coppola

Men CAN do Pilates! I refer to it as the fountain of youth! Amy and all of her staff/ instructors are wonderful! Clean studio with all apparatus working perfectly.

Beth Weiss

This is the best studio for classical Pilates! Tower, barrel, mat, cardio barre! Join us on the mat...yo won't be disappointed!

sam bartolotto

Great studio. Amy and the other instructors truly know each client’s abilities and are able to modify as needed. For anyone considering practicing Pilates, Precision Pilates is definitely worth checking out. Extremely welcoming studio!

Suzanne Carter

Precision Pilates is an excellent studio! I highly recommend! The semi private classes and dedicated instructors have made a HUGE difference. There are different class levels that provide a challenge at my own pace. The knowledgeable instructors watch your form to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly, and provide modifications, if needed. I have lost weight and inches! After my first 3 months, I had a 70% pain reduction in my neck, back, shoulders and knees! I am stronger, more flexible, and fitter than I have been in 25 years!

Daniel Meo

My wife has been a person who never felt comfortable about doing exercise classes, but Precision Pilates has given her a comfortable atmosphere that has made all the difference. The instructors give her the perfect amount of direction and motivation and she comes home loving each and every class. If you have ever been curious about Pilates I would recommend Precision Pilates to you!

Tina Tavella

I've never taken a Pilates class and was very intimidated, but when I met Amy she made me feel very confident. Amy and her staff take the time to make sure you're doing the exercises correctly and are very patient in teaching you accordingly . The studio is professionally kept and the atmosphere is very friendly. I highly recommend!

Precision Pilates & Wellness studio has been a fantastic experience. The owner, Amy, and instructors Kelly, Jennifer A. Jennifer W have done an excellent job in creating a welcoming and friendly environment that promotes overall well-being. The community that has been fostered at the studio is nothing short of wonderful. Everyone is supportive and encouraging, which makes each session enjoyable and motivating. I always leave feeling uplifted and energized. In terms of physical benefits, I have noticed a significant improvement in my fitness level since starting Pilates classes. The instructors are skilled at creating routines targeting specific areas, and I have felt the benefits. Additionally, my flexibility has improved, which has been a goal of mine for some time. The studio is exceptionally clean and well-maintained & the equipment is also in top-notch condition, ensuring that each class is both safe and effective. Overall, I highly recommend this Pilates studio. The instructors' expertise, the space's cleanliness, and the supportive community make it a five-star experience. Thank you for providing such a wonderful service!

If you have never tried pilates, this is the studio for you. Amy and her staff are amazing. They are true professionals and really help you understand the movements and what pilates is all about. love it…..

Jen Ward

I am so thrilled to find this studio! In just a short time, I felt so welcomed by this true community. This studio, it’s owner/instructor, instructors, students and team represent PILATES! I can’t believe I found such a top notch studio moving back to Long Island. I am also an instructor but can take any class and be challenged. The equipment and team is of the highest caliber and it’s one of the most beautiful studios I have seen with amazing reformers, towers, chairs and all the apparatuses! I feel the prices are such a value for what you get in results and oh much more with PILATES which is whole mind body movement ! Many people do not know real Pilates and this studio stays true to the method and you will see it in your body! Honestly my love for Pilates was re-ignited in just ONE Tower class. My goal was 3 a week and I just booked in for 5! The Owner & Instructor Amy has many clients who have been with her for over 10 years! Pilates is for any stage and age and level! Enjoy!

Kailey Lyons

I am so grateful to have found Precision Pilates. This past weekend, I completed the Power Pilates Core Mat I Instructor training at Precision. Precision provided the welcoming, encouraging, supportive atmosphere that I needed to successfully complete the challenging course. Not only is the studio beautiful, clean and bright but Amy and the staff are just as warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. I can’t wait to continue my Pilates journey at Precision and bring friends and family!

Delia Arias

Great classes! Amy is great! She takes the time to come around and correct everyone’s form. Very clean and great atmosphere!

kels chor

I joined Precision Pilates a few weeks and have taken a couple of classes and loved them! They are challenging but a great workout. Amy is very knowledgeable and very attentive! She always makes sure my form is correct. Can’t wait to for my next class!

Diane Taylor

A fabulous, friendly classical pilates studio. Very clean and spacious. Amy is a well-trained instructor who makes sure you are doing each exercise correctly. As she is instructing, she is watching and giving cues so that you get the most out of the workout. If it the exercise isn’t done correctly, you won’t see results. Amy strives to make sure everyone is doing every move properly. I travel 45 minutes to get to Precision… well worth it. I highly recommend Precision Pilates.

Lisa Bacerra

Terrific classes! Great instructor! Amy really knows her stuff. I have been doing Pilates for years and this was the best I’ve seen. This blows away Club Pilates.

ELISA LITE

Had just started working out again after an eye stroke. Amy made me feel accepted and so comfortable. She knows exactly what each person in a class needs - and takes time to make sure each person walks out after a class with the best possible result -My strength has returned and I am addicted. Cannot say enough about how amazing this place is !

KERRI KELLY

I just started Pilates and this has been the best experience…Amy is very knowledgeable and makes you feel so comfortable learning. I love how clean and calming the atmosphere is and the way my body feels after a class.

Preferred “PREFERRED EVENTS” Events

Words can't describe the gratitude I have towards this studio. Amy is absolutely incredible! I personally experienced chronic lower back pain for over a year and was desperate for help as 8 months of PT was unsuccessful. I experimented with a private class in the very safe outdoor studio, I was surprised by the workout and agreed to a second and now after 14 sessions my lower back pain is minimal. Now, not only am I thankful for my pain relief I appreciate pilates! The changes I am making, the strength you are giving me, Amy I thank you for your knowledge, genuine care and motivation! Pilates is not just for women- Real men do Pilates!!

If you were ever thinking about taking Pilates classes this is the place you want to go! Amy is so knowledgeable and encouraging. Her classes are challenging but so rewarding with lots of personal attention. I have seen so much progress in my core strength, posture, and flexibility. So happy I found this studio!

Christina Berliant

Amy's virtual classes make it so easy to stick to a schedule especially during this difficult time. Her expertise and knowledge to correct form, even virtually, make you feel as if she's there at home with you. Love these classes.

Danielle Biondo Scaduto

Took a great class via Zoom this morning since we are all stuck at home! Still felt the personal touch and appreciated the corrections to my form that I truly love about Amy and her classes. She is so knowledgeable and makes it a comfortable environment whether in studio or on the computer.

Patricia Ranieri

Great training! Personal touch. You learn the correct way so you can't hurt yourself. Amy is terrific.

Leeann Sieczkowski

Absolutely LOVE class!! Amy is so sweet and really cares about each and every client and their fitness needs. I’ll be a forever client!

patricia delaney

Starting my day with Amy's 5:30 Pilates class is one of my favorite ways to begin. Not only does it get my metabolism going, I always finish with a feeling of accomplishment. That feeling translates to a positive attitude to start and stay with me for the day. Amy's careful eye and instructions, as well as her stories and funny, encouraging quips, make the class really enjoyable. Before you know it, you are out the door ready to tackle the world!!

Kathy Seymour

Personalized guidance by Amy in a small class.

I love, love, love this Pilates studio! I am 67 years old, never did any exercise till i was 60. I feel stronger than ever in my life. And i feel like i stand up straighter. I am not the oldest who go there and i would say they have 20 year olds also. Come you'll love it!

I have more flexibility, lost weight, and my clothes fit better. I go twice a week and value the personal attention to correct form and varied exercises and equipment. Clothes not only fit better but now I dropped a size. Amy has offered a more challenging workout that is totally doable, she gives the attention that each individual needs. If you want nutritional support she’s an expert in that also and no additional charge. A 10 week 5 days a week body toning boot camp did not give results like this. It caused a knee issue that has resolved only after Pilates. Precision Pilates is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !👍

CIM SUSS

Amy is incredibly knowledgeable, devoted, and professional. She takes the time to get to know you, your body, and how to challenge you to get the most from your workout. Amy always goes above and beyond for her clients. Her selflessness ways and work ethic are sincere. There's honesty, realistic expectations, and no sales pitch. You are always her top priority. As she says, "there is a modification for every exercise." You don't get out of an exercise, she does what's best for you 150% of the time!

Nancy Hagan

Thank you so much,Amy. Thanks to you and your Pilates classes I have been taken off my blood pressure medication. My knee was so bad I could hardly walk, but with pilates it is so much better. Your classes have helped me in so many ways.

Teresa Perri Small

Amy is amazing! She hands on and shows you how to do every move correctly. I had a lot of pain in my hips and since I've been doing Pilates it's gone. The classes are always different and challenging.

Mary McDermott Hull

I’m determined to succeed in getting in shape and being healthy. Amy is so positive and really truly cares. The class size is small and personal, which I prefer and like. Give it a try, your body will thank you.

Mary James

Amy is a wonderful instructor that takes her time in not only getting to know you but get you to your goal. She has a small class ratio to accommodate all levels of fitness and promotes a more private structure. Her knowledge of nutrition/fitness/pilates is unlike any class I’ve ever tried. I started over a year ago and still continue!

Jacquie Hails

Took the intro 2 week classes and before the second week I signed up for the year. The classes are small and very personal, you feel like they are private classes. Amy is constantly watching each person and correcting. I highly recommend Precision Pilates.

Denise Spicijaric

Amy is an inspiration! I have been Practicing pilates for almost 8 months I feel great. I know I am On a journey. This is the best thing I could do for myself at this time of my life. Thank you Amy😘

Lisa Molinelli

Amy is second to none! She is not only extremely motivating and user friendly, but is knowledgeable about every bone/joint/muscle, which ultimately helps round out the whole package. I was so nervous and apprehensive about trying a class but was so happy I did. She is truly amazing!

Frances Ann Ehrhardt

Amy is absolutely amazing! Expect a very personal training experience among friends. Precision is a perfect name. You will feel great and look great and enjoy doing it!!!

When I started with Amy, I NEEDED to get on the right track for my health, that was nearly 2 weeks ago. I’ve lost 3 lbs and looking forward to being measured. The classes are small and Amy has her eyes on each person. You couldn’t get this 1:1 anywhere else. I love it so much, I actually look forward for the pain. Thank you so much!
