All Pilates Starts Here

Our name, Real Pilates, describes who we are, and what we offer. For us, “authentic” means our lineage comes from Joseph Pilates’s first protégé, Romana Kryzanowska. The work we pass on to our students comes directly from this original work without exception. Romana Kryzanowska trained Alycea Ungaro, and now Alycea offers the Pilates method to you through our Real Pilates Teacher Training program.

There are dozens of ways to become a Pilates instructor. All kinds of hybrid and fusion-inspired Pilates techniques, and even online paths, that can take you into the fitness field.

But there is only one path back in time to the original work with an apprenticeship. Real Pilates trains you from the source, the primary technique, and methods created by Joseph Pilates himself.

You’ll learn every exercise, every variation, and every piece of equipment ever created by Joseph Pilates. You will also learn how to teach, how to challenge, and how to truly inspire your clients.

Pilates starts here. Learn the practice the way “Uncle Joe” invented it.

Why Real Pilates? Lineage Matters

Lineage is crucial in Pilates training and certification because it strictly adheres to the founding father’s teachings, which produces remarkable results. Our teacher trainers are SECOND GENERATION instructors to Joseph Pilates. Therefore, the students we certify through Real Pilates will be the THIRD GENERATION to Joseph Pilates.

The Real Pilates team specializes in the next level of Pilates with targeted goal setting, strategic sequencing, and program design. The Real Pilates system addresses every aspect of your fitness and wellness through proper anatomical alignment, hands-on work, and advanced cueing, all performed on the entire range of spring-driven equipment. We believe in the power of the student-teacher relationship, and have developed our signature style and training formulas specifically for you, whatever your needs may be.
