Ken Heizman
Ken Heizman teaches the “original method” of Pilates, as taught to him for 10+ years by Pilates Elder Jay Grimes who learned the Pilates system and how to teach it from Joe and Clara Pilates during the 1960’s and 70’s. The original method is the most difficult and the most rewarding style of Pilates. It is Pilates, as much as possible the way the founder and developer of the method, Joe Pilates, envisioned it.
Ken is one of a few people in the world to fully complete Jay’s comprehensive teacher’s program. He has also completed several hundred hours of private sessions with him. Ken continues to learn, study and practice regularly to continually advance himself.
In Pilates, as in any exercise method, it is the results that count. Pilates performed with focus and control, produces great results quickly and thoroughly throughout the body. Ken attributes Pilates to helping him to overcome old back injuries, and to develop his own body into the best physical shape of his life. He began practicing Pilates in 2003, and in 2005 he began to teach. He’s been teaching and practicing, and learning ever since. Ken is passionate about his work, and he enthusiastically shares the magic of Pilates with his clients.
