Pilates with a Twist

Pilates & Gyrotonic® in Midtown


Pilates and Gyrotonic® are physical and mental disciplines that can transform any body. You will tone and sculpt while restoring flexibility, energy, and body awareness.

Founder Karyn Shipley, Radio City Rockette, actress, singer, and professional dancer, knows how hard it is to change not just the  body but the mindset. So she created The Gym Within to teach Pilates and Gyrotonic® with her unique blend of clear instruction, enthusiasm, and passion.
