Question 1

What is Pilates?

Accepted Answer

Pilates is a system of exercises designed to build strength, flexibility, coordination, and control of the body.
Originally called Contrology by Joseph Pilates, the work is meant to strengthen the entire body evenly, improve posture, support the spine, and create efficient, purposeful movement. The exercises are performed with precision, breath, and focus.
When practiced consistently, it builds a strong, balanced body that moves well in everyday life.

Question 2

What is Classical Pilates?

Accepted Answer

Classical Pilates is the original system of exercises developed by Joseph Pilates, taught in the order, structure, and method he intended.
The work follows a specific sequence on the Mat and apparatus, designed to build the body evenly, support the spine, and develop strength, flexibility, and control together. Each exercise prepares the body for the next.
Classical Pilates emphasizes precision, breath, flow, and control rather than variations or trends. The goal is not to modify the work endlessly, but to improve the body so it can perform the exercises as designed.
When practiced consistently, Classical Pilates creates a strong, balanced body that moves efficiently.

Question 3

Where is your studio located?

Accepted Answer

Our studio is located at 1070 Lakeshore Drive, across from the Sicamous.

Question 4

How often should I do Pilates?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, 3–4 times per week.
Pilates works best when it’s practiced consistently. The exercises build on one another, and regular practice allows the body to learn, adapt, and improve over time.
That said, any Pilates is better than none. Even 1–2 sessions per week can make a meaningful difference, especially when done with focus and intention.
Consistency matters more than intensity. Show up regularly, do the work, and the results will follow.

Question 6

Why our studio?

Accepted Answer

What Sets Us Apart
Deeply Trained Instructors
Our teachers aren’t fast-tracked. We come from years of study, mentorship, and ongoing education, because this work takes time to truly understand and teach well.

Rooted in the Original Method
What we teach comes from the classical system. There’s structure, order, and intention behind everything we do.

Full-System Pilates
 We don’t rely on one piece of equipment. Mat and apparatus are all part of the work, used together to build a stronger, more capable body.

You Learn the Work (Not Just Follow It)
 You won’t get lost in a room copying along. We teach you how to think through your practice so it actually sticks. You’re here to understand your body, so you move better when you’re walking, hiking, lifting, living.

No Trends. No Shortcuts.
 No mashups. No fluff. No pulsing or calorie burns

Built for Real Life (this is what he’d add)
 This isn’t about getting through a class.
 It’s about building a body that feels strong, capable, and reliable, out there in the real world.

Strength + Mobility Together
 Not stretching here, strengthening there.
 Your body needs both, at the same time, working together.
