The Philosophy
Mason Pilates blends the anatomy and form-focus of classical pilates with high-intensity, athletic, and creative programming.
Sessions are exclusive and private or semi-private, with hands-on corrections and curated participants. This allows for maximum progress and a social environment that transforms the Pilates experience and your body.
Sessions use the reformer, tower, chair and a variety of props, for your hardest challenge that you’ll actually enjoy.
My Journey
Hi, I’m Aly and I can’t wait to have you in sessions! As a former college athlete at Dartmouth, my Pilates journey started when a physical therapist recommended I ditch yoga and try Pilates.
For years, I tried reformer and megaformer studios, struggling to find the right fit. Megaformer studios like Solidcore and SLT delivered intensity, yet lacked focus on form and the “true” benefits of Pilates… but most reformer studios, while corrective, simply failed to deliver the athletic and creative style I craved. I left feeling bored and headed back to a traditional gym for a “real” workout.
Finally, I found Natural Pilates and became addicted to the intensity and deep focus on anatomy, which no other studio in NY delivered. For the first time in my life, I had no back pain and the best body of my life. After leaving my growth equity job, I flew to LA to train one-on-one with the studio and get certified.
At Natural Pilates, I train diverse clients in private sessions of all ages, many with injuries including hip replacements, herniated disks, and more. Mason Pilates is my vehicle for delivering high-intensity, athletic sessions to my own private clientele that includes athletes, models, and actors.
With a desire to bring in like-minded women and provide wider access to my exclusive training, I developed the signature Mason Trio: curated trios at an affordable price, with an integrated social element that’s been missing from the NY fitness scene.
