The Pilates Station

Welcome to The Pilates Station, your premier destination for mind, body, and soul rejuvenation through the Pilates Method of exercise. Our studio is deeply rooted in the philosophy and teachings of Joseph Pilates, who believed that a healthy mind resides in a fit body. We strive to uphold his legacy by offering a variety of classes, workshops, and private instruction tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Our Philosophy

At The Pilates Station, we wholeheartedly embrace Joseph Pilates' beliefs in the power of a healthy body as the foundation for a strong mind and spirit. Our philosophy revolves around the concept of "Contrology, " an approach to exercise that Pilates developed by integrating yoga, martial arts, bodybuilding, gymnastics, and recreational sports. We also draw inspiration from Buddhism and the Greek philosophy of holistic well-being, focusing on the development of body, mind, and spirit. This comprehensive approach allows us to provide a nurturing environment that supports your physical, mental, and emotional growth.

History of Pilates

Joseph Hubertus Pilates was born on December 9th, 1883, near Dusseldorf Germany in a small town named Monchengladbach. As a child, he suffered from various ailments such as asthma, rheumatic fever, and rickets, which led him to explore and develop his unique exercise method. Integrating various disciplines, including anatomy and the movement of animals and children, he refined his techniques during his time in England and while interned as a German "enemy alien" during World War I. This period saw the creation of some of the apparatus we know today, such as the reformer and magic circle. Upon returning to Germany, Pilates worked as a physical trainer and healer before moving to New York City with his future wife, Clara. Together, they established a studio and cultivated a dedicated following of dancers, performers, and athletes, who recognized the benefits of the Pilates Method for both total body conditioning and injury rehabilitation.
