THE METHOD

Experience True Classical Pilates

Classical Pilates is Joseph Pilates' original method — precise, sequence-based work built on control, breath, and full-body integration, using equipment true to his exact specifications. At our Classical Pilates Irvine studio, every session preserves that tradition, building long, lean strength and total-body control, one movement at a time.

THE EQUIPMENT

Train on Authentic Gratz Equipment

Gratz is the original Pilates equipment maker, hand-building apparatus in the U.S. to Joseph Pilates’ exact specifications since 1959. It’s the equipment classical studios around the world train on — and it’s what you’ll find in every session at ABL Pilates.

Reformer

The foundation of classical Pilates, using spring resistance to build strength, control, and flexibility.
