Located in the heart of the historic California gold mining town Grass Valley, The Pilates Place opened its door in January 2007. The studio occupies the second floor of what was originally Grass Valley Hardware built in 1855. Locals know the building as the Yuba Blue building. Artfully restored and remodeled, the studio incorporates a large area for one on one sessions and over 1400square feet devoted to group classes. Bathroom and changing rooms are provided for students as well as free parking in the large lot adjacent to the entrance. With its original wide planked floors, warm brick walls, high ceilings and modern sky lights, The Pilates Place is reminiscent of Joe Pilates’ original New York City loft studio.

The Pilates Place was created out of a desire to offer clients more ways to do more Pilates at an affordable price. I originally worked out of my home and taught classes at Wild Mountain Yoga. I had a lot of clients that needed other ways to do Pilates than what I could offer them which was either private sessions or the choice of three mat classes. I’m very proud and excited to now offer the expert instruction of other highly experienced, certified, fabulous instructors. Together we teach Reformer classes, Spine Corrector classes, a wide range of different level mat classes, individual sessions on Pilates equipment and Gyrotonic ® . We have something to offer in every price range and can custom fit a program for anyone, from first time exercisers to competitive elite athletes.

We offer an atmosphere of support and community, encouraging all who enter our door to embrace the power and joy of the mind body connection and core conditioning that makes Pilates famous.
