About Movewell & Pilates

Movewell Pilates opened in 2019 as Pilates studio for everybody, a place where you do not have to be perfect to practice. In fact, perfection is really boring… if you are perfect, you have nothing left to learn!

At Movewell Pilates, you are accepted for who you are. Our instructors are here to help you learn more about yourself and how to make positive changes to your body and mind through movement. Exercise should challenge us, but it should also make us feel good and it should never, ever, hurt.

“Every moment of our life can be the beginning of great things.”

-Joseph Pilates

Joseph Pilates began to develop his system of exercise over 100 years ago while imprisoned on the Isle of Man during World War I. He invented equipment that would allow bedridden and injured soldiers to train while in recovery. In the 1920s, he brought his workout methods and equipment to New York City to escape the rise of fascism in Germany.

Movewell features the original Gratz equipment as designed by Joseph Pilates and his protege, Romana Kryzanowska. Movewell is proud to offer Reformers, Towers, Chairs, Barrels and a Cadillac to keep the exercise evolving and interesting.

“Everyone is the architect of their own happiness.”

-Joseph Pilates
