“Every muscle. Every breath. Every rep with purpose.”

You’re watching the Hundred — and it’s not for the faint of heart.
This is classical Pilates, the original method, and it’s changing the game for men who train smart.

Wilder Pilates is one of Kansas City’s only true classical Pilates studios.
Private, elite instruction. Just you, the work, and one of only five instructors in KC certified in this prestigious method.

The Hundred builds power from the center out.
It activates your core, tests your endurance, and connects movement to breath — the foundation of every sport and functional movement.

Coordination looks simple — until you try it.
Pilates teaches precision, control, and breath under tension.
It’s not just how hard you work — it’s how well you move.

Pilates strengthens what’s weak, lengthens what’s tight, and balances what’s overworked.
If you lift, run, golf, or just live with stress — your body needs this.

Want more rotation in your swing?
Less tightness in your hips and back?
Pilates trains the muscles behind the muscles — building stability, flexibility, and longevity in your sport.

Strong men are flexible men.
If you’re ready to move better, hit farther, and feel stronger — book your first one-on-one session today.

“You can say what Pilates is in three words. Stretch with Strength and Control. And the control part is the most important because that makes you use your mind.”

Romana Kryzanowska

Today on International Women’s Day we recognize a very important female, largely responsible for the success and legacy of contrology or more popularily referred to, Pilates.

Who was Romana Kryzanowska?

Romana studied ballet as a child. At age 16, while studying at George Balanchine’s School of American Ballet, she suffered an ankle injury, and was taken by Balanchine to Joseph Pilates to see if exercise rather than an operation would resolve the problem. The exercises were a success, and she continued to study with Pilates. Romana Kryzanowska became Pilates’ protégée, Before I knew it”, she said, “I was named a helper, which meant I didn’t have to pay anymore.”

Toward the end of his life, Pilates named Kryzanowska as the director of The Pilates Studio. Romana and Clara Pilates continued to operate Joseph Pilates’ original studio.[citation needed] Romana also filed a trademark registration in 1988 for the name Pilates even though Joe never referred to his work as Pilates. He called it Contrology. On October 19, 2000, the Pilates trademark registration was canceled in the Southern District court in New York by Judge Cedarbaum.

Our Story

Wilder Plates was created by owner and instructor, Karen Wilder. Teaching traditional fitness classes wasn’t enough for Karen’s body so she turned to pilates for help. Pilates low impact, energy building, body strengthening form of exercise helped Karen feel her best. Her passion for fitness and pilates had inspired Karen to build her own studio.

Wilder Pilates is Located in the Blue Valley Bank building on Woodland Road in Lenexa, Kansas. The studio is an inviting, open and non-intimidating space dedicated to Pilates. Wilder Pilates is a fully equipped studio. Our expert instruction combined with top notch apparatus allows us to help you achieve your fitness goals.

We offer private and semi-private instruction in addition to small group equipment classes. Private lessons are the the best option for learning the method and getting individualized instruction catered to your body’s needs. Semi-private lessons are best with someone you know that works at a similar fitness level as you in order to obtain the best benefits. Small group equipment classes are great for those without major health issues. Classes are great for accountability, commitment and camaraderie.

Our instructors are trained and certified teachers of the method. We don’t just talk the talk of Pilates, we walk the walk. Meaning, we are also students, studying, taking our own lessons and classes, attending workshops, trainings and conferences and deepening the knowledge so we can pass it on to you!
