About Us
Who We Are
Meridian Pilates is known for its individualized approach to working with each client who comes in. We take this distinction seriously: our friendly desk staff knows our clients personally and makes it easy to deal with special situations and requests. Our instructors are highly skilled and trained to work with clients of varying needs. We also maintain a commitment to continuous learning and embracing new approaches to movement retraining.
Our Foundation & Philosophy
Our teaching philosophy is based on the original system of work as developed by Joseph H. Pilates. Pilates originally termed his system of exercises “Contrology”, describing the basic purpose of the method, which was to achieve “complete coordination of body, mind and spirit”. “Contrology “ has since come to be known simply as Pilates, and has gained worldwide recognition as an efficient method for promoting physical fitness.
Our Commitment to You
We maintain a commitment to working with you, our clients, according to your individual abilities. We always take into account factors such as lifestyle, injuries, medical conditions, age and athletic pursuits.
We are able to work with almost everyone (talk to us if you are unsure) in order to help you begin and continue your journey toward improved health and fitness.
Our staff also have strong ties to the health community in Vancouver and are in constant dialogue with professional affiliates. This means that we will work with you and your other health practitioners, to develop a program that is appropriate for your needs.
