Pilates in Hoboken and New York
Private sessions with Kelly Stevenson, group classes at two studios, and a live online mat class you can join from anywhere. Slower than you'd expect, harder than it looks, and built around what your body can do today. Now accepting clients in Hoboken and New York; new clients start with a first session, where I get to know how you move before we train.
What I teach
Pilates is the method. Movement is the point: how you sit, stand, carry and recover the other twenty-three hours of the day. Reformer and mat, one-to-one, in group classes, or live online on the mat. Chair and barrels join my training over the coming months, so stay tuned. Beginner-safe, always: most people here have never touched a reformer, or are coming back after a break, a baby or an injury. Particular focus on desk recovery, beginners, and (in training) pre and postnatal work.
- Posture
Undoing what a desk does to shoulders, neck and hips.
- Strength
Core and full-body work that holds up outside the studio.
- Mobility
Range you can actually use, no gymnastics required.
- Breath
Breathing that steadies you, and quietly does more of the work than you'd expect.
Meet Kelly
Hi, I'm Kelly. I teach Pilates in Hoboken and New York, mostly to people who want to feel stronger and move better in everyday life.
A private session is an hour, just you and me, on the reformer and the mat. We start with what your body is doing that day and work from there. It's slower than you'd expect and harder than it looks.
Before this: a dancer, then sixteen years of soccer through to playing in college, then eight years in tech in New York. I found the reformer in 2022 and practiced three times a week for four years before deciding to teach it. More about me.
I write weekly about the work and the transition in my letter, Kelly's Current.
As featured by Balanced Body
“Movement isn't choreography to memorize, rather it's an interconnected system to understand.”
Ready isn't a feeling. It's a choice.
from Kelly's Current, her weekly letter
Train with me
There are three ways to train with me: one-to-one, in a group class at one of the studios where I teach, or in my live online mat class. Private clients start with a first session, so I know how your body moves before we build anything. The online class and the studio classes you can simply book.
Step one · your first session
Your first session
Seventy minutes, one-to-one, $75. We start sitting down: what your body has been doing, anything it has been through, and what you want out of this. Then I watch you move, how you stand, breathe and roll down. It's the body detective part of the job, and my favorite. The rest is a real session built from what we found, and you leave with two or three things to work on at home.

Common questions
Do I need any experience?
No. Most people start having never touched a reformer. Every session is built around what your body can do today.
Private, group class, or the online class?
Start private if you're new, recovering from something, or want specific work on posture; your first session is where we begin. Group classes at the studios are good once you know the movements and want the energy of a room. The online mat class is open to anyone anywhere, beginners included.
What should I wear and bring?
Fitted clothing you can move in and grippy socks. Everything else is provided.
Where do sessions happen?
Private Pilates sessions happen in my private reformer studio in Hoboken; the exact address comes with your booking confirmation. New York City sessions are arranged by email. My group classes are at Pump Pilates in Hoboken and Pilates Reforming New York in Manhattan.
What do I need for the online class?
A mat and a bit of floor. The class runs live on Google Meet; the video link arrives with your booking confirmation.
Can I join the online class from anywhere?
Yes. The times show in your own timezone when you book, and the class is the same wherever you are.
What if I need to cancel?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before. Inside 24 hours the session is charged, with the usual exceptions for illness and emergencies.
How do I get started?
New to private sessions with me? Book a first session. You can also take a spot in the online mat class, or join one of my group classes at the studios. A private group of two to four is arranged by email.
Come as you are. We'll work from there.
