Los Gatos Ballet & Pilates

About

The first studio to offer both ballet and Pilates programs at one location, Los Gatos Ballet and Pilates believes that physical fitness can transform both the body and the soul. Both ballet and Pilates target core muscles to develop flexibility and posture by improving overall fitness through body conditioning. The studio's two 1,500-square-foot venues on Lyndon Avenue in Los Gatos feature state-of-the-art sprung floors and spring-resistive equipment.

The reformer, the trapeze table, the chair and the ladder barrel were all contraptions designed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s to rehabilitate injured people. Then ballet dancers, like Los Gatos Pilates/Ballet owner Marcie Ryken, discovered the therapeutically strengthening benefits of Pilates exercises and have been using them for decades to build long, lean muscles.
