Our
Approach

VIDA Pilates is rooted in Classical Pilates. Our focus is functional strength training in proper alignment to improve posture, alleviate joint pain, and develop deep core strength. Every class uses the complete system of apparatus, from the Reformer to the Cadillac to the Wunda Chair, for a well-rounded and effective program.

Unlike studios built around a single piece of equipment, we teach the full classical method. Working across the complete apparatus gives you a more balanced Pilates practice, designed to help you move the way your body was meant to.

Classical vs Contemporary

What even IS Pilates? The term gets applied to a multitude of fitness regimens, but there are really only two kinds: Classical Pilates and Contemporary Pilates.

Classical Pilates is the method developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s. Known in its early days as “Contrology,” it unites mind, body, and spirit through controlled movements that emphasize the core.

Contemporary Pilates is literally everything else.

Pilates is for Everybody

VIDA Pilates studios live inside VIDA Fitness clubs, and that placement is intentional. It puts Classical Pilates in front of people who might never have sought it out, because Pilates is an asset to everyone, from Olympic weightlifters to marathon runners. With multiple locations across the city, you can practice at any of them.

Pilates is Pilates, but VIDA Pilates is our dedication to the classical method and our commitment to community
