Pilates Seattle International is the first "True" Joseph Pilates studio in the Northwest. When we opened on Capitol Hill in 1993 there was only one other Pilates studio in the Seattle area. We are the only "True" Pilates teacher training center in the Northwest and we have a worldwide reputation for instructors that have been certified under our program.
Start a consistent Pilates practice and enjoy more flexibility and freedom of movement. At PSI, you will work core powerhouse muscles in a coordinated series of exercises under the guidance of the best certified instructors in the Pilates world. You can establish core strength and stability, and have the body you desire.
Book a full private lesson for only $50 +tax! This lesson could be with any instructor at any time. You will be working on all the Pilates equipment, as you would if paying the normal rate for the lesson. This lesson will be posted 24hrs prior and will book on a first come first served basis. To book this lesson you will need to call the studio during business hours on, (206) 405-3560 and pay for the lesson when you book.
The Pilates method is a system of progressive exercises which stretch and strengthen the body in keeping with balance and alignment. Joseph Pilates originally invented Mat Work as part of his complete system to be integrated with his personally designed apparatus. Mat exercises focus on finding the muscles of your powerhouse (your core or center), and strengthening this area to support your spine.
Our Licensed Physical Therapists have extensive and diverse educations, specialized training, and decades of experience in traditional orthopedic medicine. They have expanded their training to include True Pilates by participating in our full training program. This allows them to uniquely take advantage of the rehabilitative aspects of the Pilates apparatus and exercise system, should they feel that this would be of optimum benefit for you.

I've been training here with Steve for 18 months now and my body has transformed! My core is now strong, I feel better and I look better. My back doesn't hurt anymore. I used to have hunched shoulders and poor posture most of my life (working at a computer most of the time), but now friends and family tell me how much better I look. The other day I bounded up several flights of stairs without even getting out of breath, while my partner (who is active and in generally ok shape) took longer and was huffing and puffing by the time he reached the top. He said, "I guess your Pilates

This is the best experience I have had with PT in Washington or California. I worked with Anna for almost a year two rehab two injuries and she was GREAT to work with. Anna listened to what I had to say, took my pain seriously, and worked with me to reach my goals. When I re-injured myself after completing PT initally they were able to get me in at the last minute and I was able to start recovery immediately. As I continue to recover I feel like I have all the tools to succeed!

I found the perfect teacher for me after attending this studio. Otherwise they would get 1/2 star.

They have the right lineage. They have all the equipment and are one of a very few places around Seattle to offer any classic mat classes.

But you need to be knowledgeable and very careful. They have people teaching that pay no attention to individuals, do no correction, and do not offer alternatives.

I was injured due to lack of care and instruction and supervision. I am over 65, overweight and very flexible. It would have been worse if I wasn't fairly knowledgeable about what I could safely

They have a wide array of excellent teachers who know Pilates well and can tailor the classes to your individual needs for all fitness levels. They have a lovely dressing room with a shower, lockers with keys provided. Seattle is lucky to have this studio.

I went here for PT and Pilates, staff is mediocre, and their billing is done by a third party business, which they will use as an excuse for overcharging you. The bills I've received from them were confusing, unorganized, and did NOT reflect what I actually received. When I tried to resolve issues they were excellent at making excuses and avoiding responsibility. Poor billing transparency and communication for okay services, I do not recommend this business!

I began working with Emily at Pilates Seattle Int'l earlier in the year and am thrilled with the results. Like any workout, you get out of it what you put into it. Most days I like to work really hard; but every day is different, and some days - for whatever reason - I just cannot kick it into high gear. Emily is *ALWAYS* upbeat, very passionate about working with her clients, and incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive. She is not afraid to challenge me (believe me, I SWEAT!), but she also knows when to back off. She is always available to her clients. Quick to share a laugh or a funny story

I have been doing physical therapy with Sachiko Glass for the past 3 months for a hip issue that was making my yoga practice impossible, as well as effecting how I sit at my desk job. I have learned so much from Sachiko in regards to how to correctly use my core muscles, and have become so much more aware of how I over-compensate with my hips. She has made a HUGE difference, and I am now back to being able to practice yoga, as well as have found a new excercise that I love: Pilates! Thanks, Sachiko! I would recommend her to anybody needing PT! Also, the facility is clean and a great size.

Go see Catherine, she's amazing, nice, funny and knowledgeable. The owners, Lauren and Steve introduced themselves to me right away and I felt at ease every time I walked in. This is a great, original, SLU business, I HIGHLY recommend!

After my car accident last May, a coworker recommended I try Pilates Seattle for my physical therapy. I worked with Sachiko for about 4 months and she's absolutely amazing! My neck and back are stronger than they've been in my entire life! Sachiko really knows what she's doing and finds exercises that will challenge your muscles just enough to build them back up, but not too much that you're not sure if it's good pain or bad pain! She really pays attention to the smallest details of the therapy, so you get the maximum benefit out of each exercise!

I am disappointed and a little amazed to see that another Yelper had such a negative experience at this place. I have personally had nothing but amazing, top-notch experiences every time I have been here.
I have seen a couple of the Physical Therapists here and they are very professional, extremely effective, and very unique in their use and knowledge of Pilates as a part of rehabilitation. I have had to wait a few weeks sometimes to get in, because all of the therapists often have so many patients they seem to end up having wait lists. That just speaks to the fact that this place is really

I have gone to this outfit for physical therapy for almost 2 years off and on. I have some positive and negative feedback.

Yes the physical therapy instruction is good. I have only gone to Sachiko who is a very seasoned therapist but who overall lacks much warmth to her bedside manner. If you say an exercise hurts, sometimes it goes unnoticed. If you show up in a lot of pain and tell her that, she answers "good" and then the session proceeds.

Again but to her credit she is very knowledgeable in all things pilates and knows exactly how to cater your pt program to strengthen your

I am biased to this studio as my wonderful sister used to work here for many years. She has moved on to bigger places, but I still think its a great place to go for pilates. The instructors are good but not overbearing.

I far prefer this studio to Metropolitan Pilates, but the location if far less convenient, and parking can be a drag.
They always seem to attract great instructors.
Give them a try if you live/work in the neighborhood.
