"We believe that Gratz is the industry gold standard and are proud to offer the best equipment to our clients!"
- Mika, Owner & Instructor
Uptown Pilates
Uptown Pilates’ mission is to provide the highest quality Pilates instruction in a studio of unparalleled stylishness. Our instructors are all unsurpassable in their dedication to the clients and to the Authentic Pilates Method we teach and practice. The combination of feeling your body strengthen and the pleasure of practicing Pilates in such a serene environment is what keeps clients coming back for more and makes Uptown Pilates supreme in the industry. Uptown Pilates is fully equipped with Gratz equipment in all three of their studios since it’s establishment in 2004. They have locations on Manhattan’s Upper Westside, Upper Eastside and in Sag Harbor.
Mika Street, the owner of Uptown Pilates, Uptown Pilates on Madison and Uptown Pilates Sag Harbor, graduated from Union College, NY in 2001. She joined Accenture, a world wide consulting leader, but after two years of working on projects with clients such as Pfizer and Citigroup, Mika realized her calling to be an independent entrepreneur. Her businessbackground and love of physical fitness made Pilates studios a natural fit.
Mika received her Pilates certification through the Pilates Studio NY under the apprenticeship of Brett Howard and Sean Gallagher. As a dancer, avid sports participant and marathon runner Mika was naturally drawn to Pilates. First introduced to the method by her mother, Mika witnessed how the remarkable bone strengthening Pilates exercises were transforming her mother’s body. This left Mika intrigued by and in awe of Joseph Pilates’ method.
Mika’s 600 hour apprenticeship and her time teaching on the Upper East Side left her with a contagious love of the authentic method and a desire to spread the enjoyment and benefits to others. The Authentic Method™ of Pilates is truly unsurpassed when compared with the many alternative offshoots of the traditional discipline. Mika’s dream to create a studio where clients receive the best professional instruction in an elegant and welcoming environment became a reality when she opened Uptown Pilates. An oasis to relax during the frantic day, where clients feel both comfortable and pampered, and most importantly, a place where they can share something in common with everyone else around – a love of Pilates.
At Uptown Pilates each client has all the Gratz equipment they need to transform their bodies. “Since the day that we opened our studios 8 years ago, Uptown Pilates has exclusively chosen Gratz equipment.” – Mika Street, Owner. Learning the exercises on Joe approved equipment gives the clients a true Classical Pilates experience found with no other brand.
In 2004 Mika Street opened Uptown Pilates with it's first studio on the Upper West Side. Two years later Mika expanded to the Upper East Side and in 2010 a studio in Sag Harbor joined the Uptown family. In 2013 siblings Adam and Meredith Drushal bought Uptown Pilates from Mika and opened the studio's fourth location in the West Village in 2014.
