OPEN GYM
Open Gym is a dedicated time for independent practice in the studio, available exclusively to verified classical Pilates teachers trained on classical apparatus or clients who have completed at least 30 private sessions at Body Contrology Lab and received owner’s approval.
In Joseph Pilates’ original studio, independence was encouraged, and we honor that same philosophy—while maintaining a safe, supportive environment. An instructor is always present to supervise for safety, offer occasional pushes and pulls, and ensure the classical space is respected. However, this is not a taught session; you guide your own workout and move through your program at your own pace.
Classical exercise order must always be followed. Students are limited to their approved level and exercises learned in a taught lesson, allowing you to explore and deepen your practice confidently and correctly. Open Gym is ideal for disciplined classical pilates practitioners including instructors maintaining their personal practice, and clients ready for greater autonomy within the classical method.
TEACHER RENTAL
Teacher rental is available to classically trained Pilates instructors with verified certification and lineage, in alignment with our commitment to safety, integrity, and the classical method. Instructors must provide documentation of comprehensive training and maintain active professional liability insurance.
