What is Contrology?
Contrology is the name that Joseph Pilates gave his system of exercises. It was after he died in 1967 that it became known as the Pilates Method.

Open Studio Pilates Classes
Open Studio classes adhere to Joseph Pilates' original teaching methodology, where clients are given autonomy and independence in their practice so they can achieve mastery of the Pilates system over time. This also gives the client the opportunity to build awareness of how to build on their strengths and work on their limitations.
Open Studio classes offer a dynamic and engaging environment for participants of all fitness levels. Clients enjoy working alongside each other on their exercises, fostering a sense of independence, yet also a community of like-minded individuals practising the art of the Pilates method together.

Private Pilates Classes
An initial private class is where you will start your Pilates journey at Fokus Pilates. Here, you will learn your first set of exercises. From here, you can move into the Open Studio Classes.
Some clients require more than one private session before joining the Open Studio classes due to the specific issues in their bodies or the stage they are at with their injury rehabilitation. You will receive guidance and advice after your first Private session to help make this decision.
