Discover Why Sharp Pilates™ in Austin is Leading the Way with the Romana’s Pilates Method
In today’s saturated fitness world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by flashy trends, fast-paced fusion workouts, and one-size-fits-all fitness apps. But what if the best results don’t come from chasing the next big thing – but rather from going back to the original?
At Sharp Pilates™ in Austin, Texas, we believe that Classical Pilates – specifically the Romana’s Pilates method – is the most effective, time-tested system for building true strength, improving posture, and achieving full-body balance. Whether you’re recovering from injury, just getting started, or a professional athlete, this method meets you where you are and takes you where you want to go.
💡 What Is Classical Pilates?
Classical Pilates refers to the original system of exercises created by Joseph Pilates and preserved through his protégé Romana Kryzanowska. Unlike contemporary or hybrid versions, classical Pilates adheres to the sequence, integrity, and philosophy of the original method.
It includes:
- A system of over 500 exercises
- Matwork and apparatus-based work (Reformer, Tower, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, and more)
- A progressive structure that builds from foundational to advanced levels
The classical Pilates method is designed to:
- Strengthen your core
- Align your spine
- Lengthen your muscles
- Improve circulation and breathing
- And ultimately, return the body to its natural, optimal function
🔥 Why Choose Classical Pilates Over Other Fitness Trends?
| Classical Pilates | Contemporary/Hybrid Pilates | Megaformer/HIIT Methods |
| Rooted in a proven system | Often modified and inconsistent | Prioritizes intensity over alignment |
| Focuses on quality over quantity | May use music, props, or trends | Can strain joints or skip foundational work |
| Builds strength through control and precision | Sometimes lacks structured progression | Often lacks certified instructors |
| Suited for rehab, athletes, and longevity | Varies greatly from studio to studio | High burnout rate, less sustainable |
While other workouts may offer short-term excitement or calorie burn, only Classical Pilates offers lasting transformation – physically, mentally, and structurally.

Private sessions offer individualized attention and faster progress. Group classes are capped at 5 students and follow the classical system but aren’t as personalized.
