The Pilates Place

Located in the heart of Bellevue, The Pilates Place offers authentic Pilates as taught by its creator Joseph Pilates. Studio owner Julee Jones completed rigorous training under internationally renowned teacher Romana Kryzanowska, who studied with Joseph Pilates for 27 years before taking over his legacy.

The first thing you'll notice when you pull up to the The Pilates Place is the peaceful environment. The white picket fence, the chirping birds, and the cascade of flowers bursting with color immediately make you feel happy and at ease. Unlike many other studios, The Pilates Place feels like a home away from home.

If you are unable to attend a class, please cancel 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged. Julee teaches using the precision methods of True Pilates as created by Pilates founder, Joseph Pilates, a German native who emigrated to the United States with his transformative exercise system in 1926.

Julee Jones is certified as a Cancer Exercise Specialist through The Cancer Exercise Training Institute, which provides health and fitness professionals with comprehensive coursework on twenty-five types of cancer, their surgeries and treatments, breast reconstruction, upper and lower body lymphedema prevention, identification and management, cancer pain and fatigue, and comprehensive fitness evaluations including postural assessment and goniometry.

Julee's clients eagerly share their stories about where they started and how far they've come. I have been working with Julee for over three years, starting at the age of 64. Almost immediately following my first sessions with Julee, I began to understand something about the much-touted 'core'. I am a pianist and a scholar and was accustomed to sitting for hours at the piano, or computer, causing my upper body to be overly developed and rigid.
