Why Pure Pilates?

Pilates has gained much popularity and the demand for teachers has grown. In response to this demand, many "certifications" have been developed, ranging from one-day workshops to substantial training such as the one that Pure Pilates instructors have completed.

Pilates is an extraordinary method that delivers the results it promises. However, as with most good things in life, these results come from hard work and dedication on both the instructor and the client's part. A teacher must understand how each exercise feels, and how to convey that feeling to different individuals with differing personalities and different body types.

We believe that talent and fitness background are only the building blocks of a great teacher. Pilates is unlike any other form of exercise and its strong results are due to qualified instructors teaching it in its original, pure and unaltered form. This requires significant training to learn and further practice to master.

Many people have attempted to "evolve" or add to the original method of Pilates. In doing so, important elements have been eliminated and exercises have been altered in a way that changes the original intention of the exercise, thereby altering the results experienced by the client. While many exercises are worthwhile and creative, we strive to preserve Pilates in its purest form. Our intention is to prevent the loss of this fantastic method and continue to make Pilates and all of its wonderful results available to you.
