Behind Verve

Where vision meets movement.

Where passion becomes purpose.

Where a new Pilates experience takes shape.

THE STORY OF VERVE

Verve was created with one guiding belief: movement should awaken your vigor, elevate your spirit, and inspire your everyday life.

What started as a vision for a more intentional, elevated approach to Pilates and mindful movement has grown into a studio built on precision, breath, alignment, and energy.

A space designed to refresh your mind, challenge your body, and reconnect you to your center.

A space crafted with care — from the flooring, to the flow, to the very atmosphere you’ll feel the moment you step inside.

Verve is more than a workout.

It’s a practice.

A philosophy.

A movement with meaning.

Meet the founder

Heather Massa has been a certified Pilates instructor since 2014, building a loyal and dedicated following across Long Island over the past decade. Known for her precise, uplifting, and spirit-driven teaching style, Heather has become a respected figure in the Pilates community, consistently filling classes and attracting clients who value her thoughtful, results-oriented approach.

She has completed a year-long classical mat certification followed by a full year of specialized reformer training. This deep foundation, paired with thousands of hours of hands-on teaching, allows Heather to deliver personalized, high-quality instruction to movers of all levels.

Beyond technique, Heather is known for her warmth, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to community. She believes Pilates is not only a physical practice, but an experience of connection — to strength, to breath, and to one another.

With Verve, Heather brings her passion for mindful movement and her decade of expertise into a new, elevated space. She is dedicated to creating a studio that embodies vigor, enthusiasm, and spirit — a place where people feel welcome, grounded, and inspired to become their strongest selves.

THE VERVE PHILOSOPHY

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THE MOVEMENT

Verve means vigor, enthusiasm, and spirit — and that meaning lives in every class we create.

It’s movement with purpose.

Strength with intention.

Flow with presence.

Every reformer sequence, every barre series, every mat practice, every yoga flow is designed to help you reconnect with yourself — your strength, your breath, your energy.

At Verve, movement becomes more than exercise.

It becomes expression.
