Good Time Pilates

Fitness · 4+ locations · Manhattan: Lower East Side; Brooklyn: Boerum Hill, Gowanus

A pandemic-era Pilates studio that grew from one Lower East Side apartment into four reformer studios across Manhattan and Brooklyn. Co-founders Sam Miles and Meg Broome still run it: the first storefront opened on money raised from their own community, not a bank loan.

The Big Picture

As Good as It Gets

Good Time Pilates grew from a pandemic-era apartment session into four Manhattan and Brooklyn reformer studios, funded from the start by its own community instead of a bank loan or outside investor. Co-founders Sam Miles and Meg Broome still run all four studios five years in. As a small independent studio, it has little public labor or environmental record to check — the ownership story is what stands out, and it answers only to its two founders.
