As you know: kids are moving away & I’m taking golf lessons. Shout out Coach Sachi ⛳️

Since Pilates instructor, business owner, Board member and mom wasn’t enough to keep me busy, I’m now slinging clubs now.

I hold tight to the belief Pilates and golf have a lot in common: control, balance, rotation, stability, and trying really hard to make something look effortless.

Still working on that last part.

in the 1980s looked a little different.

There were no mega-studios. No Instagram. No “reformer Pilates” trend. And certainly no one calling it a workout of the moment.

There were teachers, apprentices, apparatus, and a small but dedicated community keeping Joseph Pilates’ work alive.

The Elders — including Romana Kryzanowska, Ron Fletcher, Kathy Grant, Eve Gentry, Carola Trier, Mary Bowen and Lo**ta San Miguel — were teaching, training teachers and carrying the work forward from their own studies with Joseph and Clara Pilates.

Romana continued the work in New York. Ron Fletcher was shaping the West Coast Pilates community in Los Angeles. And California was becoming an important part of the story — even the development of modern Pilates apparatus has roots here, when Ron Fletcher encouraged Ken Endelman to begin building Pilates equipment. That eventually became Balanced Body .

Meanwhile, the original Pilates studio in New York was struggling. Clara Pilates had passed away in the late 1970s, and by the end of the 1980s, the studio where Joseph and Clara had taught had closed.

And then came another twist: even the word “Pilates” became the subject of a trademark battle. It wasn’t until 2000 that a federal court ruled that Pilates was a generic term for an exercise method — allowing teachers everywhere to freely call the work they taught “Pilates.” Find more info on that here Pilates Transparency Project

So when you look at these very 1980s-looking Garage Pilates instructors, we’re not just having fun with the hair, clothes and leg warmers - we’re honoring a decade when Pilates was still being passed from teacher to teacher, apprentice to apprentice, and studio to studio. Long before Pilates became what it is today, these teachers were keeping the work moving.

We’re pretty grateful to be part of what came next.
And… we probably would have worn the leg warmers.

There are a lot of reasons we love the Jump Board (every Saturday at 9:30) around here. It’s cardio, strength, coordination, balance, control and a very good reminder that Pilates does not have to mean lying quietly on a mat pretending you’re not working that hard.

The Jump Board lets you train power and endurance while the Reformer supports your body and keeps you focused on alignment and control. And honestly? It’s just fun to jump.

At Garage Pilates, we love the whole Pilates system and all the ways the apparatus can challenge your body differently. Because strong looks different on everyone, but it always feels pretty good.

Some people like to make an entrance.
Some people like to work on their exit.

At Garage Pilates, we’ll take care of everything in between.

Stretch. Strengthen. Breathe. Move. Challenge yourself. Improve your posture. Build confidence. And maybe figure out how to gracefully survive the stairs, escalator, elevator, AND the trap door.

Because Pilates is about more than just getting on a Reformer. It’s a complete method—designed by Joseph Pilates to help you move better, feel stronger, and connect your body and mind. Come experience the magic of the entire Pilates system at Garage Pilates. We’ll handle the entrances, exits… and everything in between.

If your Pilates experience has only been on the Reformer, you’ve experienced an important piece of Pilates—but not the whole picture.

Joseph Pilates didn’t create the Reformer, Chair, Tower, and Mat as competing pieces of equipment. He designed a system, where each piece supports, challenges, and informs the others.

The Reformer builds strength, control, and precision.
The Tower can help you find connection, stability, and deeper understanding of your body.
The Chair challenges balance, strength, and control in an entirely different way.
And the Mat? It brings the work back to YOU—your body, your breath, and your ability to move with control.

None is “better” than the other. They work together.

That’s one of the things that makes Garage Pilates different. We’re not just a Reformer studio. We teach the Pilates method across the apparatus—Reformer, Tower, Chair, and the Classical Mat—so you have the opportunity to experience how the pieces connect.

And if you’ve been practicing Pilates for a while and feel ready to advance your practice, stepping onto a different piece of equipment may be exactly what your body and brain need.

Come experience more of the method.
There’s a whole Pilates system waiting for you.

Wanna talk about the dude who walked by Garage Pilates’ window while I was filming this? 😂

Cuz I saw him.
He saw me.
We both knew I saw him.
And yet I continued filming like this was a completely normal thing a grown woman does in a Pilates studio. The level of commitment to pretending I couldn’t see him was honestly more impressive than the reel, if I do say so myself!!!

Anyway… enjoy the content. I suffered for it. 😂
