Pilates with Jo

Based in Brooklyn, Greenroom offers personalized Pilates experiences in an intimate home studio in Bed-Stuy and small-group reformer classes in Bushwick.

Led by Jo Martinez, each session and class is thoughtfully designed to help you feel at ease, supported, and connected to your movement practice. Through an intuitive and personalized approach, Jo meets you wherever you are in your journey, blending contemporary and athletic Pilates with therapeutic fundamentals and functional training.

Using the reformer and chair, Jo creates individualized, dynamic programs tailored to each client's goals and needs. Sessions offer a supportive yet challenging approach to movement, allowing clients to both stretch and strengthen the body.

Through the integration of Pilates principles such as breath, centering, precision, and flow, clients develop greater mind-body awareness that extends beyond the studio and into their daily lives.

What is Pilates?

Pilates is a low-impact conditioning method that combines strength, mobility, stability, and postural exercises to support balanced movement. With an emphasis on the core — including the muscles of the abdomen, lower back, and hips — alongside the deeper stabilizing muscles, the method helps develop greater strength, control, and stability.

This full-body practice emphasizes functional strength, body awareness, and overall balance. Open to all movement levels, offering modifications to accommodate beginners while providing opportunities to challenge more advanced movers.
