BEND Pilates

Pilates is more popular than ever—and that’s a great thing. Exactly what Joseph Pilates dreamed of - “I must be right. Never an aspirin. Never injured a day in my life. The whole country, the whole world, should be doing my exercises. They’d be happier”.

But with the boom in reformer studios, quality varies more than ever now too.
A recent Guardian article called it the “wild west,” with rising injuries linked to overcrowded classes, minimal training, and little to no individual attention.

Not all Pilates is created equal.

As someone who has spent over 20 years studying under first and second-generational masters and mentoring the next wave of instructors, I’ve seen the full spectrum. “Pilates” shouldn’t just be a marketing term for pulsing until you burn out to thumping music. Pilates was designed to be intentional, precise, and deeply informed. But today, “Pilates” can mean anything—from highly trained instruction to classes that barely resemble the method at all.

Before you book your next class, ask:

➡️Are the instructors comprehensively trained (or just “certified” over a weekend)?

➡️Did they ask for your health and injury history?

➡️Is the class small enough for the instructor to actually see and correct you?

At Bend Pilates, we honor the method, every instructor is comprehensively trained because your body deserves more than a trend—it deserves a transformation. We prioritize your safety.
If you’ve been curious, or had an experience that didn’t feel right, we’re here to help.
We offer a free 15 minute consult to introduce you to the studio and explore how Pilates will enhance your life.

We have arrived at Day 30 - Control Balance

It requires strength of the Roll Over, the stability of the Shoulder Bridge, and finding stillness in the movement and strength in the stretch.

Definitely not in Bend for this one. Any guesses?
