Meet the Business Owner

Hallee A.

Business Owner

Hallee Altman, owner of The Center Studio®, has been teaching the Pilates method since 2001. At her successful Pilates studio on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Hallee and ten instructors are changing bodies and lives.

After her first mat class eight years ago she instantly became hooked, and just as Joseph Pilates guaranteed, saw changes in her body in just ten private sessions. She was driven to learn more and quickly became inspired to teach others to better understand their body’s boundaries and intensify their workouts while staying pain-​free.

Certified by Romana Kryzanowska, Joseph Pilates’ protégé, Hallee continues her education by taking numerous courses taught by industry leaders, allowing her to tailor the most effective program for each client. Hallee is also certified in the M.E.L.T method, a revolutionary approach to fitness that focuses on hydrating and lengthening connective tissue, resulting in greater overall function and performance of the body.
