The Pilates Snob was born out of extreme frustration with the standards the online Pilates community has failed to uphold for themselves. TPS is an outlet that supports real, classical Pilates while also calling out the fake and unsafe bullshit that’s perpetuated across the Internet and social media on a daily basis.

Meet the betch behind the brand: Victoria (aka “Vix”) Batha Cuomo. Unlike most, physical fitness never came easy to Vix. Born at 5'11", her given height applied itself only to tap dancing, a skill she honed from ages 5-15. When she realized it was no longer 1955, she quickly ditched her tap shoes and joined the Lacrosse team, an endeavor that fell just short of complete failure. Though her height ultimately led her to the women's Division I Rowing Team at Syracuse University, it wasn't until after her college graduation that she tried Pilates for the first time and fell in love. Now a self-proclaimed "full-blown athlete", Vix has completed the New York City Marathon, two half marathons and enjoys hunting down anonymous competitors in her Peloton classes.

She currently splits her time between New York City and Montauk. When in New York, she teaches at Alycea Ungaro’s Real Pilates, where she graduated from the Real Pilates Teacher Training Program in 2016. She is a third generation instructor in Romana Kryzanowska’s lineage. When out east, she owns and operates her own classical studio, Real Pilates Montauk, which opened its doors in 2020. Aside from designing Snob gear, she also recently completed her Masters in Applied Exercise Physiology from Columbia University, and is a featured instructor on the Alo Moves app & website, where you can train with her any time! She is currently working towards her Postural Alignment Therapist training with the Egoscue Method.
