In theory, your body is a wonderland (thanks, John). But recently, due to long hours and late nights, it’s felt more like a ragged carnival sideshow.

Get back in form with Pilates on the cheap at Pure Joe. The studio doubles as a training facility (one of only five in the country), and there are plenty of apprentices ready to log those student-teaching hours. Which means you can get reduced-rate private sessions (score).

Don’t worry that you’ll be left alone in the hands of a novice. All student teachers are in the last stages of their certification process, and each session is overseen by a senior instructor with at least five years experience in the system created by Joseph Pilates himself.

The 50-minute classes take place in the no-frills but well-equipped studio. You’ll work on the floor mat as well as the reformer to build core strength, flexibility, and agility, and your body will be a wonderland once again.

And you can be pleased with what you see through the looking glass.
