Our NY editor gets one-on-one training that's actually affordable.

We like our privacy. Especially when our feet are in stirrups over our heads.

That's why we were grateful to discover Rinaldi Pilates where a one-on-one training session won't break the bank. Plus, celebs like Julia Stiles swear by the space.

At the intimate East Village studio, Michele Rinaldi or one of the four other experienced instructors will guide you through an hour-long workout that varies from session to session so you won't get bored. 

Our NY editor, a relative Pilates novice, was given a strap-by-strap, pulley-by-pulley tutorial that worked her abs, legs, and arms. (And since no one was around, she didn't even sweat the unfortunate hole in her sock.)

Privacy has it perks.
