Welcome to Pilates Power House Helsinki – a classical Pilates studio
With us, you will learn the Pilates method as taught by its creator Joseph Pilates. Pilates moves and challenges the whole body, and when practiced regularly, it is a very rewarding and unique form of exercise. Our studio is equipped with original apparatus and equipment by Gratz Pilates and Contrology® series by Balanced Body, that follow the instructions and measurements of Joseph Pilates’ original designs.
How to get started?
There are two ways to start training at our studio:
1) PILATES beginner course (4 classes): Beginner courses consist of four practice sessions in a small group. Please consider, that teaching language in our courses is Finnish.
2) Private lessons (3 to 5 classes): If you wish to receive instructions in English, and more individual guidance that is tailored to your needs, we recommend starting with private lessons.
In these classes, you will learn the basics of the Reformer apparatus, as well as the Mat. These will form the foundation or your regular exercise routine. You will be given your own personal training programme - this will be helpful when you join one of our open level PILATES classes. These classes are run in small groups, and each student moves independently with their personal programme. Our instructors will be there to guide, remind, and challenge you based on your level and needs.

I
Store coats, bags, phones and other extra items in the downstairs dressing rooms or in the lobby locker. The less stuff you carry in the room, the easier and safer it is for you and others to move around the space.
II
Always have a training towel with you and, for your own safety, wear anti-slip socks during class. If you forget socks or a towel, you can buy them in the studio shop.
III
The class starts when the instructor starts the lesson. You should not start your own practice before this. The duration of the class is a maximum of 55 minutes, this includes cleaning the equipment.
IV
Be prepared to change the starting place or device if necessary. The instructors monitor the overall situation of the classes and may sometimes ask you to start somewhere else.
V
Give training peace to others. Let’s chat in the lobby before / after class.
VI
Clean your equipment immediately after use, thus freeing it up for other trainees:
Wipe the surfaces with a damp paper towel (avoid spraying the springs).
Make sure the headrest and footrest of the Reformer are up, the handles and other things are in their right places, and be sure to close all the springs.
Also make sure with other devices that the springs and other parts are at the basic settings.
VII
For safety, put the training towel and your programme under the device or on the side next to the wall. Leave space for instructors walk around the device during class.
VIII
Family members are welcome to wait in the lobby during training. The studio space is dedicated to the use of practitioners only. If necessary, book activities for the children to enjoy during class, and advise them of suitable places to sit.
IX
Pilates makes you flexible, so let's be flexible together. By following this etiquette, we make practice even better for everyone.

Thank yourself for a good workout!
Join us!
I founded Pilates Power House Helsinki in 2013, initially offering so-called Modern Pilates and other types wellness classes. A few years later, I started practicing and studying Classical Pilates myself. From the start I was convinced that I had found the "missing piece". Since then the studio has transformed towards becoming a Classic Pilates studio offering only genuine, original Pilates – nothing more and nothing less! Today I am, more than ever, extremely convinced of the effects of uncompromising Pilates practice: it has changed me and my body, and I am happy to see the same change and progress in my clients.
If you give Pilates a chance, it may open a whole new door to the wonderful world of well-being. You are more than welcome to practice with us!
