CHASS REYES | Certified Pilates Instructor

Movement Enthusiast | Bronx Native

Founder of Perfect Pilates Bodies

Born and raised in the Bronx, Chass has always turned to movement as her sanctuary — a way to reduce stress, reconnect with herself, and stay grounded. Her wellness journey began over 30 years ago, sparked by sciatic pain that led her to her very first mat Pilates class. That moment changed everything.

A private session introduced her to the Reformer — a curious-looking machine that instantly created a deep, intimate connection with her body. At the same time, she realized something even more profound: she was meant for a different path — one rooted in healing through movement.

Over the years, Chass explored a wide variety of fitness disciplines — from boxing and weight lifting to barre, cycling, jogging, and even jumping double dutch — but none gave her the same sense of harmony and body awareness she found through Pilates.

In 2019, that old spark reignited. She joined a local Brooklyn studio, rediscovered her passion, and quickly committed to a comprehensive teacher training program. Today, Chass is a fully certified Pilates instructor on a mission to share this transformative practice with others.

She’s especially passionate about making Pilates accessible to underrepresented communities in NYC. Understanding that traditional studio sessions can be financially out of reach for many, Chass offers free Mat Pilates classes in local parks — embodying Joseph Pilates' dream of Contrology for all.

Known affectionately by clients as “Little Trouble,” Chass has a keen eye for spotting what your body needs — even the movements you didn’t know you were neglecting. Her goal is simple: to help you build strength, gain length, and move with control — empowering you to reconnect with your body through the intelligent and graceful method of Pilates.

Ready to feel stronger, more centered, and in control? Join Chass and experience the power of Pilates — no matter your background, age, or fitness level.
