History
Grasshopper Pilates Downtown opened in September 2000 by classically certified Pilates instructor Gina Papalia. Gina was certified 1996 and taught in Tribeca for 4 years then started her own business out of a friends boxing gym on White Street in 2000. In September 2003, Grasshopper Pilates Downtown opened up at 116 Franklin Street in Tribeca. Grasshopper grew and thrived in that space for almost 5 years. Then Grasshopper moved to 515 Broadway for another 6 thriving years. We are now in our new home on Spring Street and loving it!
