Welcome to Classical Pilates

At Paice Pilates, we teach the original work that Joseph Pilates' created, Contrology. Our clients will see and feel the difference of the classical system of exercises and the transformation on their bodies.

 

The studio is one of the very few in the area to be outfitted with top of line equipment manufactured by Gratz and Contrology. From the popular reformer to the lesser known electric chair and baby arm chair, clients will experience the exercises on the exact dimensions Joseph Pilates intended them to be on.

 

Clients will work with only comprehensively certified teachers who have completed at least 600 hours of education. It is important to us that as educators, we continue to develop not only as teachers but also as students of the Pilates method. 

​

We look forward to meeting you and sharing classical Pilates in our intimate and elevated space, located in downtown Palo Alto.

Our Services

Introductory Private Lessons

All new clients to the studio MUST take 2 introductory privates ($220). There are many types of Pilates out there and we want to make sure you have the proper foundation, learn the classical exercises and transitions in order to have success at our studio. Most new clients will need 10-20 privates before being able to join small groups, especially if they are new to Pilates or have never worked on Gratz/Contrology/similar equipment. This is, number one, a safety requirement as well as a way to ensure we keep the high quality structure of our studio and teaching.

Private Sessions

Invest in yourself and see the difference with 1:1 attention. We are mainly a private studio, as that is the way Pilates was originally taught. Most of our clientele will work in private sessions whether due to personal preference, needing to modify the work enough that group class isn't possible or as a stepping stone to getting to small group class. Clients will work on all apparatus. Pilates is a system and we firmly believe that teaching the work as it was originally developed produces a balanced, strong and intuitive body.

Small Groups (max of 4ppl)

Small group is by permission only. You must have done the introductory private lessons and be granted approval to work in small groups. All clients must know the proper transitions, the beginner series on all apparatus and have been introduced to intermediate exercises in the Pilates repertoire. It is important clients know how to maneuver all equipment (reformer, tower, chairs, barrels, and small props) safely and confidently as our classes flow with the idea that we don't need to cover the basics... maybe just revisit them once in awhile ;)

Kathleen, is a 3rd generation classically trained Pilates instructor. After studying under Carol Appel (trained directly by Romana Kryzanowska) in 2008, Kathleen began what she thought was going to be a part-time job while pursuing a career in dance.

Pilates has been a part of her life through every major milestone and working with people has been her true calling in life. Over the years, Kathleen has seen that the true client and personal transformations came from Joseph Pilates' original system of movement. ​
