"For Ong, the studio is the realization of a dream more than a decade in the making. After moving to New York in 2011 and spending years in the corporate world, she told Brooklyn Paper the dream of creating a Pilates studio never left her. "This has always been my dream," Ong said. "Ever since I started Pilates 10 years ago, it's been helping me. I always had that entrepreneurial spirit when I was [working] in corporate and I'm always into the health, wellness and fitness space.""
"Shine Movement Pilates is guided by its tagline, "Move with purpose, shine with confidence." Ong designed the space to embody that philosophy, offering a mix of equipment-based and mat classes for all levels. The studio features reformers, towers, chairs, barrels and a terrace where outdoor mat sessions will be held in the warmer months. Each class is structured around the letters in 'SHINE' - strength, harmony, inspiration, nurture and endurance. Each centers around different aspects of Pilates, from strength training to pre- and postnatal recovery classes."
Shine Movement Pilates opens Sept. 23 in Williamsburg, founded by longtime instructor Shing Yiing Ong. The studio aims to help New Yorkers build strength, confidence and community while making Pilates accessible and welcoming, particularly for mothers. The space features reformers, towers, chairs, barrels and a terrace for outdoor mat sessions in warmer months. Classes combine equipment-based and mat work and are structured around SHINE: strength, harmony, inspiration, nurture and endurance. Programming includes strength training and pre- and postnatal recovery, with modifications available for all levels to support varied needs.
