When looking for the best Pilates studio in Austin, you may come across a wide range of methods -contemporary fusion classes, reformer-based workouts, or hybrid fitness trends. But at Sharp Pilates™, we teach the original: Classical Pilates with lineage rooted directly in Romana Kryzanowska’s teachings.
If you’re ready to experience true transformation, here’s why Romana’s Pilates stands above the rest.
What Is Classical Pilates?
Classical Pilates is the original method developed by Joseph Pilates, focusing on controlled, intentional movement that builds deep core strength, balance, and body awareness. The method follows a specific sequence, uses traditional equipment, and is centered around the principles of breath, alignment, and precision.
Unlike modern Pilates variations, Classical Pilates maintains the integrity of Joseph’s original system and its proven results.
Who Was Romana Kryzanowska?
Romana was one of Joseph Pilates’ closest protégés and the trusted heir to his studio. She spent her life teaching his method exactly as he intended, training instructors to uphold his legacy.
Today, Romana’s Pilates represents the most authentic expression of Classical Pilates – and at Sharp Pilates™, all of our instructors are trained in this method. Our teachers undergo extensive certification and apprenticeship, ensuring the highest level of expertise and care.
How Romana’s Pilates Is Different From Other Methods
Most contemporary Pilates classes are pieced together from fitness trends and don’t follow a consistent system. Romana’s Pilates, on the other hand, is:
* ✅ Structured – Exercises are performed in a specific, purposeful order.
* ✅ Precision-based – Every movement is about control and alignment, not high reps.
* ✅ Equipment-specific – We use classical Reformers, Cadillacs, and Wunda Chairs built to Joseph’s original specifications.
* ✅ Instructor-led with intent – Our instructors are trained to identify and correct imbalances in real-time.
This is not a Pilates-inspired workout – it is Pilates.
Why It Works (and Lasts)
Romana’s Pilates method strengthens the deep stabilizing muscles, improves posture, supports spinal health, and builds lasting strength. It’s ideal for:
* Injury prevention and rehabilitation
* Athletic conditioning
* Better posture and alignment
* Total-body strength without bulk
Many of our clients say, “I’ve tried other types of Pilates – but nothing compares to this.”
