Intermediate Seminar with Rhonda at Park Cities Pilates Center

Joseph Hubertus Pilates, the inventor of Pilates (though he called it Contrology; it was only after his death that it was named for him) who passed in 1967, famously said that he was 50 years ahead of his time. With how popular Pilates has become 58 years later, it is striking how accurate that statement is today.

Pilates’ protege, Romana Kryzanowska, worked with and for Jospeph Pilates for years, and after they passed, she inherited their NYC studio. 

Kryzanowska’s daughter, Sari Mejia Santo, also had the opportunity of training directly with Joseph and Clara Pilates, and taught beside her mother for more than three decades. Daria Pace, owner of @romanaspilatesinternational, is also Santo’s daughter, and joined her mother and grandmother in teaching the Pilates method.

After Pilates’ invented the apparatus, someone had to learn how to produce more examples of it. Quoting The @gratz_pilates website: “Gratz is the original manufacturer of the Pilates apparatus,” and “He invented it, we make it.”

Then in 1968, Kryzanowska asked Donald Gratz to replicate that apparatus, which began a new production line. To this day, Gratz Pilates continues to manufacture the apparatus that Pilates invented, and Romana’s Pilates International studios continue to use worldwide. 

“With the addition of a Gratz Guillotine, all of the equipment that was in Romana’s NYC studio where I trained and taught for almost eight years, I now have in my Midtown OKC Pilates studio, bringing it “full circle” for me.”
