If you’re searching for reformer Pilates studios on Staten Island with real performance machines — not just a mat on the floor — this guide is for you. We called every studio on the island, compared their equipment, pricing, class sizes, and reviews, and compiled everything in one place so you don’t have to.

Quick answer: As of October 2026, there are 11 Pilates studios on Staten Island offering apparatus-based training. The newest is LeAmora Studio, a brand new European-inspired luxury boutique that opened October 2026. Other top options for performance machines are Flow Pilates (Tottenville, now with a second location on Richmond Ave), Long Core Pilates (Westerleigh), BodyLine Pilates (Dongan Hills), and Club Pilates (two locations). Keep reading for the full breakdown.

Note: This list covers all known Pilates studios on Staten Island as of October 2026. If new studios open, we’ll do our best to update this guide.

What Is a “Performance Machine” in Pilates?

A performance machine in Pilates refers to spring-loaded apparatus that adds resistance and support to movement. The most common is the Reformer, followed by the Wunda Chair, Tower/Cadillac, and Ladder Barrel. Studios that invest in full apparatus setups offer a much broader and more effective training experience than mat-only classes.

The research below covers which machines each studio has, how many reformers, class sizes, pricing, and what makes each one different.

A Note from Viktoria

As a certified Pilates trainer at Divolova Gym in Staten Island, I see firsthand how much proper apparatus training transforms the body — especially for clients dealing with posture issues, post-injury recovery, or plateaued gym progress.

If you’re deciding between these studios, I’d recommend visiting each one in person before committing. The machine matters, but the instructor and class size matter more. A Reformer in the wrong hands is just an expensive piece of furniture.

This guide was built from real research — we called each studio, reviewed public data, and cross-referenced client feedback. Pricing and details can change, so always confirm directly with the studio before booking.
