The Pilates Method

Strong Core • Deep Strength • Body Awareness 

Pilates is a unique system of exercise specifically designed to strengthen and stretch the body, while improving coordination and control. Regular practice can have a dramatic effect on your overall well being by toning, lengthening and strengthening the body and core muscles. When applied properly the Pilates Method can improve flexibility, build strength and develop control and endurance in the whole body. It is suitable for people of all body types and with varying levels of fitness who seek ​
​graceful beauty without bulk.​
​

We believe that fitness leads to happiness — happy body, happy mind.

“EVERYONE IS THE ARCHITECT OF THEIR OWN HAPPINESS.”
— JOSEPH PILATES

​“A FEW WELL DESIGNED MOVEMENTS, PROPERLY PERFORMED IN A BALANCED SEQUENCE, ARE WORTH HOURS OF DOING SLOPPY CALISTHENICS OR FORCED CONTORTION. ”
​— JOSEPH PILATES

Pilates is a unique approach to physical conditioning, developed and perfected by Joseph H. Pilates. It involves the disciplined use of Gratz apparatus and more than 700 original exercises to lengthen and strengthen the human body. It is a mindful approach that demands concentration, attention to correct form and breath control.

After Joe Pilates passed away, Romana Kryzanowska inherited his New York City studio and preserved the Pilates’ legacy by traveling the world for six decades, educating the next generation of Pilates instructors. Romana’s Pilates separates itself from other Pilates disciplines through its rigorous and comprehensive training program requiring apprentices to complete more than 700 hours of observation, teaching and practicing. Ramona’s Pilates includes a global network of instructors committed to meeting the standards implemented by Joseph Pilates. At Sharp Pilates, we are committed to Joseph Pilates' legacy, and strive to teach with the same quality, passion, and depth of knowledge. The significance and importance of the 'lineage' ensures the purity and high standard of the work is maintained for future practices and teachings, where the core principle 'Integration of the mind to strengthen the body and energize the spirit' is maintained.  This ensures clients receive quality and consistency with every lesson.
