At Contrology Gymnasium, we teach the Classical Pilates method as established by Joseph Pilates. Here's what sets us apart: 1. **Fully Equipped Studio:** We have a complete range of apparatus, including cadillacs, barrels, chairs, mats, reformers, and small equipment, designed to address different body types and improve functionality. 2. **Highly Trained Instructors:** Our instructors undergo a minimum of 700 hours of training on all equipment and for all levels, ensuring they can provide comprehensive and safe instruction. 3. **Focus on Individuals and Small Groups:** We prioritize safety and personalized attention by limiting class sizes to no more than six participants. 4. **Reputable Teacher Training:** Our instructors complete rigorous training programs with respected organizations in the global Pilates community. This ensures they are well-qualified to guide you through your Pilates journey. Our commitment to the authentic Pilates method, combined with our fully equipped studio and highly trained instructors, ensures you receive the best possible Pilates experience.

Classical Pilates, developed by Joseph Pilates, captures the true essence of his work. Unlike other forms such as Reformer or clinical Pilates, Classical Pilates stays true to the original exercises, equipment, and philosophy. At Contrology Gymnasium, we offer unique sessions in Queenstown with detailed, technical instruction and impressive results. If you've practiced other forms of Pilates, we recommend starting with a new client induction to fully experience the benefits of Classical Pilates.

If you have an injury, we recommend starting with one of our new client packages. This allows us to assess your needs and determine the best course of action. Depending on the complexity of your injury, you may benefit from a combination of private and semi-private sessions. Our experienced instructors will work with you to ensure you receive the support you need for both short-term recovery and long-term health.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! At Contrology Gymnasium, we offer various options to support you through this exciting time. You can continue your Pilates training right up to delivery, if appropriate. Our group classes provide support throughout your pregnancy, but we also recommend private sessions for personalized advice. We are happy to collaborate with your medical and allied health team to ensure the best care for you and your baby.

We do not offer one-off sessions as we believe in the benefits of consistent practice. We work with clients multiple times a week over several months to achieve the best results. However, we do offer attractively-priced introductory packages to help you decide if Classical Pilates is right for you.

As frequently as possible. If Pilates is your only exercise, attend multiple times a week. If you have a jam-packed exercise schedule already, try attending twice a week even if for only a couple of months and then reduce during your ‘on-season’ to once per week for best results.

When you start Pilates you start learning how to move in an efficient way and it can take time to get the hang of it and build your endurance. Attending infrequently will keep you as a perpetual newbie, the more often you come, the sooner you can be confident, strong and adventurous!

Private and duet sessions are 55 minutes.

Semi-private sessions are 50 minutes.
