Move well, move often. This is our manifesto. Joe Pilates was a boxer, a gymnast, a bodybuilder, maverick and visionary who called his method Contrology. We call it Pilates.

At Edinburgh’s classical Pilates ‘gym’ we teach the full method on traditional apparatus to everyone with a human body. We are teachers and movement lovers. We follow the original system: viewed from a modern perspective. But we always return to the source: Contrology.

The Pilates Hub is pleased to offer The Pilates Center’s [TPC] Teacher Training Programmes. Dubbed ‘the Harvard of Pilates teacher training’, TPC offers some of the most rigorous courses in the industry.

Based in Boulder, Colorado, sisters Amy Taylor Alpers and Rachel Taylor Segel studied with Joseph Pilates’ protégée, Romana Kryzanowska, who helped them set up the first formal comprehensive training programme in the industry in 1991.

Now, TPC’s education network spans the globe, and for the first time students in Edinburgh will be able to ‘train with the best’ at The Pilates Hub.
