WHAT CAN PILATES DO FOR YOU?
We are here to help you live pain free through the regular practice of Pilates. Our exercises are based on years of medical evidence and we keep up to date with the most recent medical research by being registered and keeping up to date with all the necessary training requirements.

Learn MoreAbout Pilates
Joseph Pilates was born on December the 9th in 1883 in Munchengladbach, Germany. He was originally a circus performer and a boxer before inventing an exercise system he called Contrology. After his death the name was changed to Pilates. Joseph dedicated most of his life to his exercise system, and truly believed it could heal injuries. He believed his system would keep the body and mind fit and healthy.
