Robert 's Story

From Amsterdam to LA

Robert Surenbroek teaches the Classical Pilates Method as intended by Joseph Pilates passed on to his protégé Romana Kryzanowska. He is certified comprehensively by two organizations, Power Pilates and Romana’s Pilates. In addition to his certifications he has been a teacher trainer for Power Pilates working in the US and Japan.

Comprehensive training means you have not done a weekend workshop on a single piece of apparatus or simply completed an online course or workshop. It means you have done apprentice hours and extensive hands on training. Many programs today teach only reformer or mat, I teach the whole system with all of the apparatus designed by Joe Pilates.

Training doesn't have to be strenuous everyday but, it needs to be consistent, in order to keep the body supple.

Back to the Basics It is so refreshing

to spend a weekend observing the magic of the Classical Pilates system. Recently our studio hosted Core Mat 1 or the Beginner Mat Certification from Power Pilates. Revisiting the basics of the method presents a chance to do some personal “battery recharging.”
