"I have been a Pilates practitioner for over 15 years in NYC. Dale Matzkow is, without question, the BEST teacher I have ever come across. She not only has an encyclopedic understanding of what Joseph Pilates intended with each exercise, but is very adept at choosing the best exercises for an individual needs after considering their goals and ability. More over, she has a truly lovely manner! In the last 5 years, she has seen me through pre-wedding fitness routines, a healthy pregnancy as well as a complicated pregnancy and recovery from both. I look forward to my sessions with her every week and you will too, should you be lucky enough to snag an appointment with her." Manju J.C. Realtor

"Dale is unbelievable! She offers a woman (pregnant or postpartum) so much more than your average Pilates instructor. She has an energy that is confident and motivating and she knows how to work with a pregnant woman's body - through all stages. You need not worry whether or not the exercise you're doing will be harmful to you or the baby. Dale has wonderful ability to modify Pilates exercises to your individual needs throughout pregnancy and afterwards while still maintaining the integrity of the method." Jaime S. Lawyer

"Dale is a superb instructor, who challenges me while at the same time taking into account the limitations of my 82-year-old physique. The work has improved my muscle tone and flexibility, as well as my posture and endurance." Frank S. Professor

“Dale brings a unique creativity and energy to every session as well as a critical eye for what is not being done correctly. Sometimes those adjustments are very small, but have huge results. I have never walked out of a session where I didn’t learn something new and often it was an exercise I have done for years! Dale doesn’t just run a class or a session, she leads, cajoles, challenges and rewards her students whether they are just starting or have enjoyed Pilates for the exercises or apprenticing . She is the best!” Diane K. Architect

“Dale has taught me to be present and reminded me to breathe through what was a very difficult moment in my life. I will always be, forever grateful” K.H. Momma

“Dale helped me build a strong Pilates foundation that I have been able to carry over into all aspects of my life-other fitness like running, cycling, skiing and hiking. Fundamental to this foundation are also the stories she shares of Joe Pilates and the development of his Method. She always takes great care and time to understand my unique physical strengths and limitations and worked with me to achieve my fitness goals. The amount of support she provides before, during and after each workout is tremendous and immeasurable. I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn and practice Authentic Pilates with her. “Staci P.

“Dale was a life saver for me during the pandemic. We were able to seamlessly transition our weekly in person sessions to online. Dale didn’t miss a beat with her keen attention to my form and general-well being as the pandemic wore on. She was a bright spot each week during a strange time.” Michelle F. Lawyer

“A mutual friend introduced me to Dale back in 2011 so I could get back into shape after having two kids. I hate structured exercise and years of gym memberships have taught me that I just won’t go, Dale has made pilates shockingly enjoyable. Initially, Dale helped me rebuild my core strength-with noticeable positive results. For the past 10 years, Dale has helped me keep myself flexible and strong through all the random aches and pains that happen to weekend warriors.( Thank you Dale!) I am fortunate to be able to call Dale a friend as well as my super awesome pilates instructor. “Gretchen S.

“ I was a pilates novice when I met Dale and signed up for a “mat” pilates class. Not only was Dale extremely kind, energetic, and knowledgeable about pilates, she was very flexible in how she taught her classes based on her clients needs-she was able to provide alternatives for movements based on skill level, injuries, pregnancies, etc. While you get out of it what you put into it, Dale provides all the tools necessary to love and thrive in the world of pilates”. Erin M.

“I have worked with Dale for the better part of a decade. When I started I was younger and in bad shape. Today I am older and in perhaps the best shape since my teen years. Dale is very dedicated to her craft and excellent in challenging your limits and eventually beyond. I find my sessions with her very challenging but the benefits are tangible and well worth the effort. I have worked with several of the top professionals personal trainers/pilates instructors over the years and she is far and away the best. She always gives her all and expects nothing less from her clients.” Vinay S.

“I started working with Dale about a year and a half ago after having left a previous well known NYC pilates studio where I had been training. After our first few sessions I quickly realized that there was a LOT to learn! By her insistence on steadfastly remaining true to the Authentic Pilates Method, I have become much more flexible and stronger than I even thought possible. She has the keenest attention to detail and pays close attention to our sessions. Her knowledge of the body and physiology is amazing. I recently tweaked a muscle in my back running and through our sessions we were able to address it so that I wouldn’t cause myself more pain. Additionally, she is the nicest person and conducts all her sessions with the upmost professionalism, even at 5:30am which I truly appreciate.” Alice V. Finance

 “It’s been 5 years and Dale continues to care for my well-being SERIOUS, COMMITTED, DEDICATED every session, every week. When you have made up “ YOUR” mind to do all three Dale can improve your body. You will definitely see and feel the benefits of her training technique. It doesn’t get any better than this!” Sal I. Musician

  “ I have been training with Dale for 6 years, first as a student and now as a teacher. She has a tremendous breadth of experience as well as a highly detailed knowledge of the exercises and of the body. This combined with her unrelenting enthusiasm and her ability to motivate, has inspired me to delve further into my practice and to ultimately become a teacher myself” Darden M

“ I have taken many versions of Pilates prior to training with Dale, but none of these classes or teachers compared. Dale’s extensive Pilates background and insight into the human body sets her in a league of her own. If it weren’t for training with Dale, both in a private and class environment, I would never have been inspired to further my own practice and worked to become a certified teacher today.” Allison S.

 “ I consider myself extremely lucky to have Dale as my teacher. She is not only passionate about improving bodies, but also minds. Her classes are friendly, welcoming and rewarding. I notices results after only a few weeks- and I am still seeing results and improving every time I work with her! Her ability to break it down and teach the movements based on your own body is not only amazing, but key to your success in Pilates. Because of Dale, Pilates is now part of my lifestyle “ Megan J, software developer
