Pilates purveyors and best friends Jessie Zalla and Marina Trejo opened their first Pilates studio in Williamsburg in 2003. Two years later, with the neighborhood boom and a client list to match, the duo moved a few blocks away to new digs: a 1,000-square-foot garage. Lofted ceilings, hardwood floors, and an inviting front patio are now the site of private and group classes on the tower and the reformer. Since both Zalla and Trejo are strict devotees of the teachings of Uncle Joe (the exercise regimen’s founder), there’s plenty of tough alignment love. You may be in pain the day after, but your abs will thank you. — Carolyn Murnick
