Founder Marina Kaydanova returns to Brooklyn with her latest studio
In a trend of small biz entrepreneurs choosing Grand Street for their 2nd and 3rd businesses, BK Pilates stands out from the group. Owner and founder Marina Kaydanova had found success in two boroughs before opening her brand’s 4th studio at 710 Grand Street this year.
Working in the corporate world, Marina began Pilates as a way to keep in shape, which quickly turned into a passion, which eventually led to opening her first business near Marine Park in South Brooklyn. After success there and further installments in TriBeCa + Flatiron, Marina is bringing her business back to Brooklyn and bringing Pilates to Grand Street.
Marina says she chose Grand Street for her business because of the beauty of the space and the active presence it provides on the busy corridor. She also loves the sense of community among the small businesses and residents. There was a need too, among Grand Street’s growing fitness studio scene there had yet to be a space dedicated to Pilates.
That’s no longer a concern, and you can choose a group class which last about an hour for $40 or a private lesson that will cost you less than those at Manhattan locations. There is additionally space for pop-ups in
the front and inquiries are welcome at info@grandstreetbk.org.
