Erika Bloom

Erika Bloom used Pilates to heal herself after she was injured during her career as a dancer. She paired her personal knowledge of Pilates with 20 years of dance and fitness experience to develop method that could help others heal. Beginning her studies as a pre-med student, and eventually becoming a successful business owner, Bloom’s experiences have created a space where therapeutic movement, wellness, and beauty converge. After launching Erika Bloom Pilates in January 2003 out of a shared loft in New York City, she opened her first studio in 2006 on Madison Avenue, a serene white-walled sanctuary in which to guide her growing clientele in all areas of wellness. Within her methodology, she incorporated the most current physiological research with the principles of contemporary Pilates and alternative therapies for a balanced approach to wellbeing. As her business expanded, she handpicked and trained a staff and teachers to build her team. All the while, Bloom spearheaded the company’s financial growth, real estate acquisitions, and teacher training, eventually launching the Erika Bloom Pilates Certification School. She soon opened 5 more studios, even globally. Bloom is a regular contributing writer to several publications including Social Life Magazine and A Wild Dove, and has been featured as an expert in dozens more including Robb Report Health and Wellness. She has represented brands such as Varley, Tata Harper, and Live The Process. She has also spoken at several wellness events including Sakara Summit.
