History

Established in 2007.

The Pilates and More studio opened its doors in the fall of 2007. Since that time, the studio has grown steadily, and developed a reputation for high quality instruction in Pilates, and for the other programs they offer. The studio is owned and operated by Certified Pilates Instructor Valeria Barreto. With roots based in Valeria’s home country of Brazil, Pilates and More has a unique atmosphere quite unlike anything you’ll find at a «gym». The welcoming staff and friendly clients help to create the studio’s positive vibe and great sense of community.

Meet the Business Owner

Valeria B.

Business Owner

Valeria Barreto is the owner and visionary of Pilates and More. She moved to the U.S. in 2000 from her home country, Brazil, and has been a certified Pilates Instructor since 2001. She received her certifications from Power Pilates as well as The Kane School, both located in New York City.

Valeria began to develop her own style of stretch-​based exercises for fitness and health during her time as a professional Jazz dancer in Brazil. Prior to moving to the U.S., Valeria was working alongside both neurosurgeons and orthopedists, using her stretching techniques for physical therapy and rehabilitation. Her stretching exercises are designed to improve balance, elasticity, and flexibility. Used in conjunction with Pilates, these exercises target and improve strength, posture, stability, overall physical health and can also aid in weight loss.
