Contrology Hawaii
In 2021, Pilates O Ka Lā founded the first-of-its-kind Classical Pilates Studio on Oahu and became a host studio for Vintage Pilates.
It is also our absolute privilege to be a host studio for Vintage Pilates—a studio that returns to Joseph Pilates’ original method of exercise through the guidance of its director, Jay Grimes, a student of Joe Pilates. We are thrilled to host Vintage Pilates workshops at Pilates O Ka Lā throughout the year and provide access to the original Pilates work and type of equipment designed by Joe Pilates.
Our Honolulu Contrology Studio is filled with a mix of very special Vintage Pilates equipment (Reformer, Wunda Chair, Arm Chair, Pedipole, Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector, High Mats & more), as well as a new Cadillac and Reformer from the Balanced Body Contrology line. We also have Gratz and Legacy Apparatus equipment.
Our intention is to share the original Pilates Work with Hawaii the way Joe would want us to do it.
Open Studio
Introducing Open Contrology Studio
Come and experience Pilates the way Joe Pilates taught at his studio in New York, for the first time in Honolulu! During our open studio hours, students lead themselves through their own personal workouts. You will have access to all of our Contrology Studio Equipment, and an Instructor will be there to make sure you get the most out of your workout, offering guidance and introducing new exercises and equipment when you’re ready.
In order to join our Open Studio, students are required to take at least five private sessions with one of our instructors or get studio approval. During these private sessions, or with approval, your instructor will give you, your own personalized workout that you can practice during open studio time.
