5.0 out of 5 stars The best out there, August 13, 2004

This review is from: New York Style Pilates: Level 3 - Advanced (DVD)

I love Pilates and do a routine everyday. I am currently getting my instructor certification. I have many Pilates DVDs and I was looking for an instructor and method of cueing and demonstrating the exercises that I found most exciting and made me want to come back and experience the instructor again. The New York Style Pilates DVDS gave me what I was looking for. I have seen many Pilates instructors, but J. Urla is by far the best. He is charming, funny, and knows everything that there is to know about Pilates. The Level 3 workout has all of the 34 original Pilates Mat Exercises. It is challenging, so when I suggest that if you are new to Pilates, you should start with the Level 1. This was a great find, not only because of the talent of the J. Urla, but it is one of very few DVDs that demonstrate the fact that Pilates can be done by men. I just ordered J. Urla Yogilites DVD. I'll have to see how that turns out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jonathan's Tough One, June 17, 2004

By 

jon roberts (san francisco) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New York Style Pilates: Level 3 - Advanced (DVD)

I titled the review this way because as an instructor, I know how difficult it is to teach this work as well as he does in this video.

Others have commented that Jonathan has a good ability to keep the work moving with just the right amount of cueing. I really enjoyed the additional segments at the end which help a student or teacher understand how Pilates can be linked into other exercise forms and that can help to "de-mystify" this method through the standing series.

All of the models are fit and attractive, the setting is very nice and the music is complimentary, not distracting. Mr.Urla seems like someone we would all wish could teach at our own health club, but since he doesn't--this tape is the next best thing and it is a great workout to really get that "Pilates glow" going!

4.0 out of 5 stars Keeps you moving., July 12, 2006

This review is from: New York Style Pilates: Level 3 - Advanced (DVD)

I purchased only the Level 3 - Advanced DVD because I have already been doing Winsor Pilates for over 2 years. This DVD will definitely keep you moving. The routine is approximately 30 minutes long which is a little longer than my normal routine. And he moves very quickly.

If you have been doing Pilates and know most of the moves, this dvd will give you an alternate to exercise with. One item that I didn't care for is that he uses an exercise pole. There are only a few exercises with the pole, though. So I have been doing my exercises without the pole.

I rate this 4 stars because it will give you a good work out.
