BK PILATES SOUTH BROOKLYN — BE KIND TO YOUR BODY

An empty Pilates studio with multiple reformers, ready for a class

Be kind to your body. Since 2012.

BK stands for Be Kind. Marina Kaydanova opened the first BK Pilates in South Brooklyn in 2012, after Pilates changed how she felt in her own body. Her idea was simple: a class should leave you feeling better, not just tired. Today BK is a woman-owned studio family with five locations across New York City. Every one runs on the same idea: kind to your body, kind to each other.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our Pilates studio and classes.

Do I need experience before joining a Pilates class in South Brooklyn?

 Nope. A lot of people walk in for their first class not really knowing what to expect. That’s normal. You’ll get cues, adjustments, and easier versions of exercises if needed, so you’re not just guessing your way through it.

Are private Pilates sessions available in South Brooklyn?

Yes, and they can make a big difference, especially in the beginning. If you want more attention, or you’re working around an injury or specific goal –  private sessions give you that extra focus you don’t always get in a group class.

Is Pilates in South Brooklyn more about strength or flexibility?

It’s usually a mix of both, but most people notice the strength part first. Pilates works a lot on your core. The muscles that support your posture and stability – while also improving flexibility over time. So you’re not just stretching or just “working out,” it’s more balanced than that, which is why many people stick with it long-term.
