Equally warm and gracious is owner Gina Papalia who began teaching in downtown New York in 1996. Papalia embraces each client individually and unconditionally, balancing a serious approach with a fun-filled and friendly attitude. Her intention; to stay true to the traditional tenets of the Pilates Method and to closely follow the logical learning process as originally conceived by founder Joseph Pilates. Papalia, a professionally trained dancer, is particularly knowledgeable about the anatomy and musculature of the human body. She knows precisely how the body works, how to learn to use it most efficiently -- and how to make Pilates a pleasurable learning experience that's simple, thorough and effective.

Grasshopper
Pilates Downtown was opened in September 2003 by professionally
certified Pilates instructor Gina Papalia. Located in our new home in
the heart of Soho, in a beautiful 2,000 square foot loft that is a fully
equipped classical Pilates studio that includes three reformers, four
wall units, 2 wunder chairs, a high chair, cadillac, pedi pole and a
ladder barrel. We also have cardio equipment and more, see below for
more information! The studio has been designed with a clean, simple
modern sensibility that enhances the old-fashioned charm of a
traditional high ceiling Soho loft space. Airy and light-filled, the
ambience at Grasshopper Pilates Downtown is warm, gracious and
welcoming, although the workout is functional, serious and challenging.
