Forget everything you know about exercise. Pilates is different.
- Jay Grimes

The Pilates community is feeling the loss of this great teacher and Pilates elder/legend. Jay’s approach to teaching, his Pilates knowledge and experience direct from Joe and Clara have been a huge gift. Our hearts go out to his those closest to him. While I never got to work with him I am lucky to have experienced the knowledge that he passed on to Chris Robinson through the educational opportunities I have had with him. One of Jay’s best students and current Pilates legends.

Hi! My name is Gwen and I am a Level 1 Pilates instructor from Boulder, CO. I started doing Pilates in 2019 on my college campus. I immediately loved the way it made my body feel. I ran cross country through college and as an athlete accustomed to intense aerobic exercise, the low impact style of Pilates was completely new to me. After earning my bachelor’s degree from Kalamazoo College in Southwest Michigan, I moved to Bozeman where I studied Pilates through the Peak system with Emily Smith Wilson.

As a lifelong runner, I spent a lot of time trying to not get injured, or recovering. For me, Pilates became a safe space where I could retrain the patterns of movement I’d learned as an athlete into ones that are more gentle on my body. I found Pilates at a time where I was searching for the fitness community I had lost after college athletics. In Pilates, I found a system of movement that improves people’s experiences in their bodies and therefore their lives! I am thrilled to share Pilates with other folks so they can love it as much as I do, and to continue learning and growing as an instructor!

Can’t wait!!!

Myths about Classical Pilates Lots of people have questions about Classical Pilates. Cyd Ford dispels several myths associated with the Classical method.

Our instructors are comprehensively certified and continue their education through CEC workshops as much as they can!

In the Pilates industry there has been an explosion of new franchises teaching group Reformer based exercises to the general public. It is the hottest fitness craze.

I want to make it clear that most of these group classes are NOT Pilates but rather a fitness experience using the Pilates Reformer.

Most of the instructors of these classes have very limited knowledge of the Pilates Method as a whole.

There is a real concern for public safety in general. Many of the training courses the Group Reformer instructors receive do not include enough time for them to develop skills to help them teach safely or effectively. Some training is completed in less than 50 hours.

Most of these instructors and the general public are unaware that the Reformer is just one piece equipment used in the Pilates method.

A Comprehensively Trained Pilates Teacher has more than 450 hours of baseline training if they have done a reputable course. They are trained in Mat, Reformer, Trapeze Table, Wunda Chair and a variety of barrels and other sn]mall pieces of equipment.

They would also have learned contraindications to a variety of common injuries. These teachers have learned how to teach clients with various conditions and how to modify exercises accordingly.

A teacher will also know how to help clients integrate what they learn into every day life.

I urge you to ask where the instructor or teacher has been trained. Ask them what level of experience they have and if they are doing regular continuing education.

Reach out to me if you have questions or if you would like to up-skill your knowledge as a teacher.

I'm here to help. Use my almost 30 years of experience as a Pilates and movement rehabilitation teacher to help you make the right choices for you.
