About us

We are not a
gym. We are a school.

At Pilates Corner Studio we teach the classical method exactly as Joseph H. Pilates conceived it. Our training comes from Fabien Menegon's School. A precise, orderly method that deeply respects the human body.

More than 17 years of experience stand behind the way we work. We rehabilitate injuries and, above all, prevent them; we improve your posture, your strength and your everyday life with safe work adapted to each person. Two studios in Tarragona fitted with Scoop apparatus in stainless steel and fine wood.

The method

Authentic Classical Pilates,
in its original order

Contrology, the classical method, is a complete and orderly system, organised into blocks and series, faithfully handed down from Joseph H. Pilates. Every session keeps that order and adapts to your body and your goals, guided by six principles that give each movement its purpose.

Concentration

Full attention to every gesture: mind and body work as one.

Control

No movement is casual: everything comes from conscious control of the body.

Centre

The powerhouse: the deep strength from which the whole body is organised.

Precision

Quality over quantity: every repetition exact and intentional.

Breathing

Breath leads and sustains the movement, oxygenating every effort.

Flow

Continuous, graceful transitions: the body moves as a whole.

Heritage

From the legacy of Joseph H. Pilates
to your session today

Joseph H. Pilates conceived his method, “Contrology”, as a complete education of the body. That classical method has been preserved and passed down intact through generations, and today Fabien Menegon's School keeps it alive in Spain.

In our studio we honour that heritage: the historical photographs along the hallway remind us every day where our work comes from and why we care for it so much. When you train with us, you train within a lineage of more than a century.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need previous experience to start?

+
Not at all. Classical Pilates adapts to every level. In your first session we do an initial assessment to understand your goals and history, and design the ideal starting point for you.

What is the difference between Classical and contemporary Pilates?

+
Classical Pilates keeps Joseph H. Pilates' original order and specifications, and works the whole body systematically and progressively. Contemporary Pilates has fragmented the method, losing part of its essence and effectiveness.

How many times a week should I come?

+
For the best results we recommend 2–3 sessions a week. Even so, with 1 class a week you'll notice steady, lasting changes. The body responds better to consistency than to occasional intensity.

Is Pilates suitable for back pain?

+
Yes. Classical Pilates is especially effective for lower-back, neck and upper-back discomfort. We work the deep core, correct imbalances and improve posture structurally, always adapted to your situation.

Will Classical Pilates improve my strength?

+
Yes, very effectively. Classical Pilates builds real, functional strength from the centre of the body (the powerhouse): you work against the resistance of the Reformer and Tower springs, activating deep and stabilising muscles that conventional training often overlooks. The result is a stronger, more stable and balanced body, not just a more flexible one.

How do I book a class?

+
Bookings are handled via WhatsApp. Ask us about availability and we'll give you the time slot that suits you best. To cancel, we need 24 hours' notice so the session can be made up.

Do I need to bring special clothing or equipment?

+
Comfortable sportswear and non-slip socks (recommended). You don't need trainers: the studio has everything needed for the sessions.
