Georgetown Pilates

Georgetown Pilates at 1228 31st Street NW Suite 1 is a Pilates studio in the Georgetown canal neighborhood, on the 31st Street block between M Street and the C and O Canal approach. The boutique Pilates studio at this address provides the Georgetown residential community with the mat and reformer Pilates instruction that the smaller, neighborhood studio format delivers with the individual attention that the large franchise studio and the commercial gym’s Pilates program cannot consistently provide.

The Pilates method, which Joseph Pilates developed in the early twentieth century from the influence of the gymnastics, circus arts, and Eastern movement traditions that he had studied, is organized around the principle of the controlled movement that the centered and stable core enables. The Pilates exercise sequence, whether on the mat or on the reformer, begins with the engagement of the deep core musculature that stabilizes the spine and allows the limbs to move with strength and control, which is the foundation of the method that Joseph Pilates called Contrology.

The boutique Pilates studio’s class sizes are smaller than the commercial Pilates franchise, which allows the Georgetown Pilates instructor to observe and correct each student’s form in the detail that the method requires for safe and effective practice. The Georgetown resident who has a specific structural concern, from the post-surgical rehabilitation to the chronic back pain management that the Pilates method is particularly effective for, benefits most from the individual attention of the smaller studio setting.

Hours run from early morning through early evening on weekdays and a shorter Saturday schedule.
