Le Petit Studio NYC

I was hesitant to take pilates because I enjoy more high intense workouts but after my first pilates class from Annie I was hooked. I had taken pilates before but no instructor has ever given me nearly the time to correct every single movement I make. In pilates, the smallest movements are the most important and Annie is an expert and observing and correcting. She’s also hilarious and very encouraging so her classes are fun. She typically teaches private and semi-​private and has reasonable rates for such personalized attention. Thank you, Pilannie!

Annie Venier is a first-​rate Pilates instructor. I took private sessions with her after taking lessons from various other Pilates instructors over the years, both good and bad, and she proved to be one of the best for helping re-​align, stretch and strengthen my entire body. She’s very knowledgeable about the discipline of Pilates and precise in offering corrections to your form and in paying attention to your particular needs and/​or issues. Her approach is friendly and personable, but she stays focused on the workout so you really feel like you’re getting the most out of your time with her. She also keeps the choreography diverse so you don’t get bored, which can happen with other Pilates routines.
Whether you are new to Pilates or a seasoned aficionados, she will get and keep you in tip-​top shape, and I would definitely recommend her!

I knew nothing of Pilates thinking it was like yoga. Having had an great experience with yoga I decided after much urging of friends to try le petit studio. Let me say right now, Pilates and yoga are very different and I found Pilates to be much better for me. I was having back pain and was generally out of shape and not feeling particularly good about my body/​self image. When I arrived at the studio and met Annie for our class, she was happy, encouraging, and I knew right away I was in great hands.
She has an amazing command of not only the equipment and the Pilates discipline, but more importantly, she really understand what the individual needs. She grasps that one size does not fit all and I have never felt an instructor was more in tune to my needs. She identified right away my strengths and it made me feel confident and excited to continue. My core is stronger and my back pain improved significantly.
If you are considering Pilates (which you should, my mom and sister both had spinal surgery and have found immeasurable benefits) look no further than Annie if you want someone who actually cares about you and how YOU progress.
In short– she’s awesome!

Annie tailored a Pilates recovery program for me after I was diagnosed with cancer and helped me get back to full strength in order to run the NYC Marathon. I was new to Pilates and fell in love with this type training after I started to see great results in such a short amount of time. I highly recommend Annie as a Pilate instructor.
