✨ Not all Pilates is the same — and the difference matters. ✨

At Aspen & Pine Pilates in Helena, we don’t follow fitness trends — we teach Contrology™, Joseph Pilates’ original method that’s transformed millions of bodies for nearly a century. This is Pilates as it was meant to be: a full-body system using the complete collection of apparatus — not just a reformer and certainly not a Bosu, bands, yoga block, or TRX.
Led by Juanita Ostrem, who has trained with world-renowned classical masters including Chris Robinson (Oprah’s core coach) and Mejo Wiggin (direct student of Romana, Joe’s chosen successor), Aspen & Pine offers a level of expertise and results you won’t find in a typical group class. (Aspen & Pine Pilates limited groups to 3)

If you want real strength, better posture, improved flexibility, and a body that supports you for life — this is where it begins.

You can’t say you are doing g pilates unless you actually do pilates!

What is pilates today, in my mind, its pretty clear, but for the general public, I am not so sure…

Joe Pilates signed his clients up for 3 sessions a week for their first month, he wasn’t into “jumping on the popular bandwagon, and making money out of what people wanted, or giving them what was popular”, no, he passionately believed in his system, yes system of exercises that if people committed themselves to his methodology that they would feel the change in their bodies.

Those of us who have spent years training and learning about the “how” and “why” his system works, and are still learning from experienced professionals in the industry with more experience than our own, and passing on the benefits to our clients.

And believe me, no one knows anything after 5 days of training in “pilates” no matter how glossy the cover looks.

So use the pilates name and make your money, whilst the rest of us continue his legacy of pilates, which is not instagram exercises to be interesting, nor just exercises on one piece of his equipment.

I am so tired of my industry of nearly 30 years being downgraded to just fitness on pilates equipment. This is not “pilates” and people should seek out the difference.
