Zayna Gold herself, the studio’s blond, fit owner, may greet you when you arrive at this airy space, an office area flanked by two large, sunny exercise studios with huge windows. It is here that Gold and her colleagues hone bodies to perfection, essentially, for those unfamiliar with Pilates, creating long, lean dancer’s bodies. Of course, such beauty comes with a price tag, and of course, repeat visits will be required to maintain your physique. Still, the investment is probably worth it for the inches you may grow (length-wise) and the compliments you’ll receive from delighted construction workers everywhere. Power Pilates is the big gun here, offered in creative combinations on an exercise ball, equipment, or mat, in conjunction with yoga and bodywork (Thai massage and acupuncture), offered in private, semi-private, or group sessions. Three "Brand New Body" programs are also offered. A second, smaller studio in Newtonville offers similar services.
