Taught by Patricia
Patricia Ruiz
Owner & Master Trainer
One of a handful of women owners of Pilates businesses with multiple locations in New York City, Patricia taught privately in a small studio for many years before opening her first multi-station studio on the Upper East Side eight years ago. The new space was an instant success, thanks to her unique approach to Pilates instruction — offering small classes that provide the personalized attention of a private session. Next came a much larger location on the Upper West Side, made larger still in a recent expansion, and then another on the UES, four times the size of the first. Moving Strength now employs 28 instructors who teach 35 different types of classes, many of them unique to the studio, and a full schedule of private sessions at each location.
Often featured in the media, including on Health.com and in AM New York and Eye In, Moving Strength is PMA-approved to train and certify Pilates instructors and is the exclusive East Coast practitioner of Power Plate, the innovative technology popular in L.A., for which she and instructor Raleigh Veach developed Pilates Power Plate Strength, Yoga Plate Strength and TRX Plate Strength. The studio also conducts teacher trainings and workshops in Pelvic Floor, Working with Older Populations and Perinatal Teacher Training.
A former professional dancer, Patricia has performed with some of New York’s most renowned dance companies. She is a certified Personal Trainer through ACE, and holds certifications in Pilates, Power Plate, yoga, Resist-a-Ball, TRX Suspension Training and Healthy Moms Perinatal Training. Patricia has been hands-on in designing and, with the help of friends and family, building the locations, and is often called in to consult on setting up apparatus in new studios.
