Exercise is body movement that has a purpose.
Our Story
At The Pilates Local, we are passionate about helping people of all ages and abilities to achieve their fitness goals and improve their overall well-being. Our story began when our co-founders, Michele Rinaldi and Kristin Hoesl, first met in 2005. Michele, a native New Yorker and trained psychologist, discovered the benefits of Pilates while recovering from injuries sustained during her years as a gymnast. She went on to become one of the most respected Pilates instructors in New York City, known for her ability to help clients recover from injuries and achieve weight loss and overall fitness.
Kristin, a lifelong athlete and dancer, was introduced to Pilates through her college dance professor and went on to become an accomplished instructor in her own right. She has worked with clients of all ages and abilities, from senior citizens to professional athletes, and is renowned for her patience, clarity, and expertise.
In 2015, Michele and Kristin joined forces to create The Pilates Local, a fully equipped studio in the heart of Union Square. Our mission is to provide a warm and serene environment where clients can pursue their fitness goals with expert level instructors. We believe that Pilates is an incredible tool for improving overall health and well-being, and we are dedicated to helping our clients achieve their goals in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere.
