Pilates Development

Pilates was created by Joseph Pilates. He developed this fitness philosophy while being in a British internment camp during World War I. Pilates believed mental and physical health are interrelated, so he created exercises intended to strengthen the human mind and body. The popularity of Pilates grew in the dancing community when it was used to help dancers recover from injuries.

Sonia Ruiz, Certified Pilates Instructor

I am your instructor, Sonia Ruiz, and my Pilates journey began in 2019, when I was desperate to find a workout routine. I started by becoming just a student taking group classes for about two years. I love Pilates so much I became a certified teacher in June 2023 through the Club Pilates teacher training program. I’ve been teaching the last three years to multiple studios of the Club Pilates franchise and a few locally owned studios. In addition, I have now opened up my doors to a private studio located in my home in the beautiful neighborhood of original Broomfield, Colorado.

I teach classes in local studios at Club Pilates Thornton, Club Pilates Quebec Plaza, and The Body Refinery.

I offer private lessons in my home studio in Broomfield by appointment only. Sixty minutes is $55; fifty minutes is $45 and thirty minutes is $35. Call or text 720-341-6449.
