"YOU CAN SAY WHAT PILATES IS IN THREE WORDS—STRETCH WITH STRENGTH AND CONTROL. AND THE CONTROL PART IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BECAUSE THAT MAKES YOU USE YOUR MIND."
— Romana Kryzanowska

Learn about the CLASSICAL PILATES METHOD

Pilates is a unique approach to physical conditioning, developed and perfected by Joseph Pilates. The Pilates Method has been a safe and effective mode of body conditioning for over 80 years. It involves the disciplined use of Gratz Pilates 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. At Sharp Pilates, we are committed to Joseph Pilates' legacy and strive to teach with the same quality, passion and depth of knowledge.
