Pilates Instructors - Certified Trainers in New York City

Robin Powell

I have been working professionally in the dance and fitness industry for over 30 years, performing, choreographing and teaching Jazz Dance, Ballet and Fitness/Exercise classes.

For many years I have been teaching in numerous fitness clubs such as Equinox, Sports Club LA, New York Sports Club, Crunch and at Steps on Broadway a very popular dance studio in NYC.

I specialized in teaching my signature class, Classically Stretched, which I developed in the early 80's. This class consisted of a beginner-intermediate ballet barre, with no jumping/impact, and finished with stretch and relaxation. I got the idea to put a class like this together because when dancers are injured they sometimes are able to perform, me included. They have to stay strong and in good shape but sometimes cannot take a full ballet class which would include jumps. I modified Classically Stretched for the fitness clubs.

A few years ago I came up with the idea of S.O.S. (Stretch Out Stress™) a stretch and relaxation class which I am now currently teaching for Sports Club LA and Equinox.

Two years ago I received my Pilates Mat certification from Power Pilates in NYC. I am now teaching Pilates Mat at Steps on Broadway, New Dance Group and Equinox as well as scheduling private and semi private classes along with speaking engagements.

These classes are perfect for students who need to work on alignment, posture, balance, strength and flexibility. People of all ages, beginners to advanced, as well as individuals recovering from injuries or surgery, will benefit from these classes. Some students have commented that after they leave class they do feel 2 inches taller ….but the best rewards are that these exercises could help to…….

calm the mind, relax the body and soothe the soul

I am currently teaching at Steps on Broadway, New Dance Group, Equinox Fitness, Sports Club LA all located in New York City.
