When you are in this industry as long as I have been… you know what sticks and what will pass. I study this industry, Relentlessly.

Not what’s trending…but what’s lasting.

Pilates isn’t going anywhere.
It’s not a trend, it’s a return to what actually works.

And if you’re not doing it… eventually your body tells you.

As the owner of Madison Ave Strength Lab,
I don’t follow the industry, I try to help shape it.

And I’ve very intentional about who and what I bring into this space.

Pilates is the missing link between strength and longevity, it’s The piece most people skip…
and the reason they plateau, break down, or never quite feel “right.”

It’s what makes your lifts stronger, Your core tighter and Your body last longer.

And when it’s taught the right way…it doesn’t just change your workout it changes your body for life.

So I didn’t rush this, didn’t talk about it with anyone but my husband for months!

I watched, I studied, I paid attention.
I definitely wasn’t NOT looking for an influencer.
I wasn’t looking for trendy flows or aesthetic content.

I wanted substance and also…I wanted mastery!

Not just someone to “offer Pilates”…
but someone who could redefine how it’s done inside The Lab.

I wanted the best. Because who we bring into this space matters. What we deliver to our clients matters even more.

I needed someone with depth and a lot of experience but with no ego and lastly this person had to have a real understanding of how to build the body from the inside out.

Not someone who teaches movement…someone who understands it.

I found her!

And there was no question, my gut told me she is the one!


15 years of experience.
Former Director of Pilates at Flex Studios NYC.
Private instructor at Equinox.
Classically trained, with a specialty in pre and postnatal fitness.

She doesn’t teach trends she teaches movement that lasts.

This is not Pilates the way you see it online.
This is Pilates done right.

Pilates at The Lab. Coming soon ( for members first)

And if you’ve ever felt tight… disconnected… or like something is missing in your training, this is where that changes.

Go follow her!

It’s not about the water. It’s about where the water is at.

A bottle of water may be $1.00 at a gas station and $4.00 at a deli but $7.00 on a plane.
It’s the same water, but a different location, and a different value.

Sometimes people walk right past that bottle, Not because it isn’t worth it, but because they’re standing in the wrong spot.

I’ve spent over 20 years in this industry. I’ve managed and trained in gyms I wasn’t welcome in, I’ve trained in rooms that didn’t respect the women who showed up and did the work.

So ….I built my own.

If you look at the Lab and don’t see the value… it’s not the Lab., you’re just not there yet. And that’s fine.

This place isn’t for everyone, and guess what!?! It was never supposed to be.

Madison Ave Strength Lab wasn’t built to convince anyone, It was built for the people who already know what they’re looking for and are tired of not finding it.

Now imagine what happens when you finally put yourself in the right place.

Every soccer mom + dad knows the feeling of watching their daughter go down on the field.

The New York Times just confirmed what the research has shown for years (link in stories) teen girls are uniquely vulnerable to ACL tears, and the sports world is failing to protect them.

Dr. Stacy Sims has spent her career explaining why female athletes require a completely different approach. Their hormones, their anatomy, their neuromuscular patterns, all of it creates a specific vulnerability that generic training simply does not address.

😡The injury rate for teenage girls has grown 32% in the last 15 years.

💪🏼Most of it is preventable.

😡Almost none of it is being prevented.

The problem isn’t the sport.

It’s that girls are being put on fields without the strength, the movement mechanics, or the body awareness to protect themselves, and when they get hurt, they’re sent to physical therapy and discharged before they’re actually ready to perform again.

That gap between “cleared” and “confident” is where we work!

At Madison Ave Strength Lab, Matteo trains soccer players specifically. Not to simply get them faster or stronger, but to build the precise mechanics that keep young female athletes on the field, through their seasons, through their careers.
And when injury has already happened, when your daughter has been cleared but doesn’t feel like herself yet, doesn’t trust her body yet, that’s where the real work begins. The physical rebuilding. The mental rebuilding. Both matter here.

The New York Times is talking about this now.
Dr. Sims has been talking about this for years.
We’ve been doing something about it.

⚽️💪🏼🖤⚽️💪🏼🖤Your daughter deserves training built for her.

DM us. We’d love to talk.

I’m going to be honest with you, as the owner of this place along with being Sasha’s mom.

Watching these girls train on Friday nights hits different for me , I actually get emotional because I’m a mom. My daughter is 12 years old and plays competitive soccer, and every week I watch something shift in these girls that I can’t quite put into words.

Four Fridays in. One hour each week. And it’s not just their bodies getting stronger, it’s their minds.

But here’s what makes these sessions unlike anything else: Matteo isn’t just a trainer. He plays soccer. He understands the sport from the inside out, the physicality of it, the battles for the ball, the moments where strength is the difference between holding your ground and getting knocked off it.

He knows exactly what a 12 or 13 year old female athlete needs to stay strong, stay on the field, and stop getting pushed around.

That combination of sport knowledge and strength expertise? You can’t fake it. And these girls feel it.

Watching them start to connect those dots …that the work they do in this gym on Friday nights shows up on the field, is one of the most beautiful things I’ve witnessed in this space.

If your daughter plays soccer and you want to know what these sessions actually look like, DM us. Matteo will talk to you directly.

While most people are still in bed, this crew is up and out!

Saturday Bootcamp with Matteo hits different. The energy, the work they put in, the people who just get it, this is the room you want to be in.

Not all gyms are created equal. 🖤

While other facilities in the area are running free trials, new member specials, and opening their doors to ANYONE who walks in , we do things differently.

Madison Ave Strength Lab was built with intention. Capped members. WHY? Because a truly elite experience can’t be MASS produced.

Our members are high-performing professionals who demand more… such as premium equipment from & .

Personalized programming from results driven coaches, along with a A 7,000 sq. ft. space designed to feel like nothing else in Westchester.

This isn’t a CrossFit box. It’s not a group class gym. It’s NOT for everyone and that’s exactly the point.
If you know, you know. 🖤

The Science of the “Lab” Protocol. 🧪

If you aren’t training with a plan, you’re just exercising.

Zach (CSCS) recently audited his programming, moving from a body-part split to a high-frequency Upper/Lower Split.

Here is the CSCS-level breakdown of why this matters for your results:

1. The 48-Hour Growth Window: Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) typically returns to baseline 48 hours after training. By hitting Upper Body twice a week instead of once, we keep the muscle in a “growth state” for 100% of the week.

2. Central Nervous System (CNS) Management: Training “chest/back” on Monday and “shoulders/arms” on Tuesday often overlaps the same joints and neural pathways. Moving to an Upper/Lower split provides a true 48-hour recovery window for the nervous system.

3. Mechanical Tension: Utilizing our Technogym line allows for perfect bio-mechanical alignment. When combined with this new frequency, we maximize mechanical tension, the primary driver of hypertrophy.

Stop guessing. Start measuring.

Zach has a limited number of assessment slots available this month for those ready to move from “exercise” to “Elite Programming.”

Twas a Saturday morning, before Christmas Day,
When the Bootcamp crew showed up in the usual way.
While visions of cookies danced in SOME heads,
They chose SkiErgs + goblet squats instead!

Michael pulled hard on the SkiErg with might,
Chasing numbers like Santa in flight.

Dana sank deep in her goblet squat groove,
Strong and steady, no wasted move.

Carley hit sit ups, up down, no cheat,
Smiling through abs that were begging for retreat.

Amy snapped ropes like a holiday show,
Waves flying high in the red and green glow.

And Matteo stood tall, bossing left, bossing right,
Cueing form, calling reps, keeping everyone tight.
“Chest up! Breathe! Again!” he would say,
Like a fitness elf running Christmas Day.

Sweat hit the turf, laughter filled the room,
December discipline in full bloom.

No one skipped, no one strayed,
This crew shows up no matter the date.

So cheers to the crew that trains through the cheer,
Stronger this Christmas than they were last year.

Same time, same grind, no need to ask
Because this Bootcamp crew doesn’t dodge the task. 🎄🔥

🎄 Strength in Numbers, Holiday Edition 🎄

In the Lab where the lights glow soft and bright,
gathers her crew, morning or night.

Women come in with courage and cheer,
Lifting more than weights as the holidays near.

They squat, they laugh, they grow week by week,
Finding strong bodies and spirits to keep.

Not about mirrors or numbers or size,
But confidence glowing right out of their eyes.

So here’s to the group that shows up together,
Through cold winter mornings and all kinds of weather.

Strength in Numbers, hearts full and strong
This is where Christmas and confidence belong.
🎅💪💛🎄
