pilates instructor | boa pilates NYC

Studio Boa is an appointment-only pilates studio located in the heart of the West Village.

As a boutique studio, each session is individually programmed and designed to meet every client’s goals and assessed alignment needs.

Studio Boa intentionally steps away from the group fitness environment and into a bespoke setting as a way to ensure the quality of instruction and form.

Customized sessions in an intimate space create an unmatched opportunity for each client to learn about, strengthen, and align their body and minds.

Founded and solely-operated by Chelsea DeLay, Studio Boa curates movement sessions that fuse the technical elements of contemporary pilates and athletic components of resistance training to maximize the mental and physical effectiveness of each workout.

STUDIO BOA | THE SPACES

Studio Boa has two locations in downtown Manhattan, providing clients optionality for their pilates experience. Our West Village studio honors those who love the quiet focus of three-person sessions; the Greenwich Village space welcomes those who thrive in a slightly bigger, community-forward class of six.

WEST VILLAGE

Studio Boa’s original location is tucked away on a quiet street in the West Village, offering clients a private reprieve to disconnect from bustling city life.

The space provides an elevated and boutique pilates experience— 3 Merrithew V2 Max Reformer and Tower units (CE Marked Class I Medical Devices) are framed out with custom-lit mirrors designed to create deeper a visual connection to each session.

Studio Boa’s Greenwich Village space is an expansion of the West Village’s semi-private sessions, offering group session with six reformers, providing clients with a fuller energy that still maintains the intimate, hands on approach established by our first studio.

This studio additionally hosts an intimate mat space designed for top-tier instructors to host boutique classes for their clients. It welcomes both New York–based and visiting instructors from across the country and internationally, and also serves as a setting for educational workshops, branded events, and collaborative experiences.
