Classical / Authentic Pilates

This is Pilates the way Joseph Pilates intended it to be.
We use his exercises, his intentions, his method to get his results.
This is no watered-down, “Pilates-based” workout. This is Authentic Pilates.

Classical/Authentic Pilates is a workout utilizing the exercises, order, and intention of Joseph Pilates’ original method. The exercises, while strengthening your core, work to fix imbalances throughout the body.

Joseph Pilates created his method to strengthen and rehabilitate soldiers. But today, it is available to everyone and thousands of people have seen and felt the benefits.
