Classical Pilates, Crafted For You
lineage is the difference
The Pilates Lab was founded by Susan Bange and Kristen Davis, seasoned Classical Pilates instructors teaching since 2009, both dual-certified in the lineage of Romana Kryzanowska. Together, they have built a team of third-generation instructors who share that same depth of training and commitment to the work.
In our Central West End studio, you’ll work on authentic Gratz apparatus with instructors who teach with precision, care, and an abiding respect for the method. Sessions are complete, whole-body workouts, unhurried and built entirely around you. Here, you’ll build lasting strength, ease of movement, and a practice that makes you feel more capable in your body every day.
THIS IS PILATES FOR LIFE
PRIVATE LESSONS
Classical Pilates is more than just exercise, it’s an experience. Private Pilates instruction is the standard in Classical Pilates. These one-on-one private sessions are by appointment only.
GROUP CLASSES
Max 4 per class. Our classes are intentionally kept small, enabling us to craft sessions as unique as the individuals who step into our studio.
INSTRUCTOR TRAINING
The Pilates Lab is a partner of Real Pilates® Teacher Training, a Classical program renowned for its unwavering commitment to the highest standards of Classical Pilates.
Every detail considered, every movement deliberate.
We honor the original art of Pilates, taught as it was intended—intelligent, intuitive, and deeply transformative. As third-generation instructors trained on authentic Gratz apparatus, we carry forward the legacy of Joseph Pilates with precision, quiet-rigor, and purpose.
The Pilates Lab Difference
We believe wellness is deeply individual. One person’s path to strength might mean slow, deliberate work on the Reformer; another’s may involve a fast-paced Mat series every morning.
Regardless, it’s the full body picture that matters to us- never separating the body from the mind, or the mind from the movement of the body.
Our goal has always been to ask questions- about our physical health, our emotional alignment, the routines that ground us, and the methods that change us. Classical Pilates, with its focus on control, breath, and intention, sits at the intersection of those questions. What does it feel like to move well? To feel connected? To return to our center?
We know we’re not the only curious ones. Your questions shape the way we explore wellness. Got something you want to dig into? Drop us a line at [email protected]
