2 years later and I'm still going strong (maybe even stronger) at the studio. The "pivot" that's been made to keep clients and staff working through Covid is well thought through with a super focus on safety. Sincere thanks to Mairin and the team from me and my body.
In my 28th year of Pilates I truly know the value of not only Pilates itself but the integrity and professionalism of the staff at VPC.

After decades of back pain and slouching that I assumed would always be a fact of life, I finally decided to do something about it. Within a few months of working out at the Vancouver Pilates Centre, I feel taller, stronger and way more aware of my body. The studio has a calm, friendly vibe and the entire staff is unbelievably kind, knowledgeable and attentive.

I used to throw my back or knees out every year lifting or skiing, but now that I have better musculature and awareness of how to lift, turn, walk, ski, bike, and sit, Pilates informs pretty well every motion I do now. As founder Dianne Miller said, "Pilates isn't for you to do the perfect pirouette, it's so you can close the car door with your foot while holding your kid and a bag of groceries!"

Pilates is really for everyone! I thought I knew everything about my body, but coming here has taught me that there is always more to learn. The attention the teachers give each client is incredible! I sit at a desk all day and Pilates has improved my posture, strength and alignment. The ELDOA classes are magical, my body has been transformed by the knowledge the teachers provide me every visit. Thank you Vancouver Pilates for creating a safe and encouraging environment for me to explore the potential of my best self!

Have been attending Vancouver Pilates Centre for several years. As a result my body is stronger and more flexible. My posture is way better than it has ever been and despite a diagnosis of Osteoporosis, I think… I may even be getting taller. :) The inevitable aches and pains that come with age are quickly addressed before they become chronic issues.
I don't just benefit from the exercises that are part of my individualized program but also from the constant helpful feedback, the body awareness, the suggestions of how to carry the benefits into my everyday life.
